Oliver was still suffering while the cat was searching for him.
His body twitched and convulsed from time to time. His expression, however, was neutral; his facial muscles were stiff—refusing to even move.
It was as if someone was performing surgery on every piece of his body while he was conscious and alive without any anesthetics.
He could only bear the pain as his very nerves and tissues were bearing severe pain, but he told himself to endure it as it was for his own good.
A sinking feeling appeared in his mind; it was as if he was slowly sinking into darkness.
He looked around himself, but all he could feel and see was void. His mind and body were connected with the Abyss now… he was drowning in the very depths of the Abyss.
Just for a very short instance, he felt as if he saw the worst monstrosities in existence as he kept sinking…
His body trembled just gazing at them for less than a second, his heart felt cold…
It was as if something was changing within his body, mind, and heart as he kept sinking…
He dared not imagine just how monstrous those terrifying beings could be…
Those monsters were definitely beyond the scope of humans or demons alike. They were true Evil!
Just their existence alone was a corruption to the universe. He felt that way as he continued sinking… yet for some strange reason, he was starting to feel a familiar feeling welling inside him.
Was he getting corrupted too?
He did not know, and all he could do was just wait and wait…
His body kept reforming, becoming a true circuit of the abyss!

While Oliver was unconscious, there was a great turmoil happening in various places.
The first place being the chamber where the head judge and others were waiting for Nadia.
They had been there as Nadia was awakening new powers and doing a breakthrough to Rank-1.
The elders and the head judge were quite impressed and shocked by her progressing speed.
She was only 7 years old and was already a Rank-1 Exorcist!
They did not reach the realm of Rank-1 until their twenties!
It could be seen how much of a monster she was.
She was probably one of the youngest ever to reach Rank-1.
And not only that, her espera was quite strong; she was born with great espera talent, so it was natural she was way above other geniuses.
Among her siblings, she definitely had the greatest talent.
They all wanted her as a disciple, but alas, she was 'special.'
At that moment, all of them suddenly shuddered.
The head judge frowned as he felt goosebumps over his skin; he instantly disappeared from his spot, appearing outside the chamber.
His eyes gradually widened as his blood ran cold…
He looked at the sky, and it was pitch black; he could feel a tremendous amount of Void element in the sky.
His hands shook as he imagined these clouds raining; the rain would contain properties of Void, an element that was known as the second name of destruction!
He felt an immense sense of dread and frantically covered the chamber with his espera, quickly forming a protective barrier over it.
Miss Nadia was still inside going through her breakthrough, and at this moment, she must not be disturbed at all.
He immediately contacted the elders, and they were all equally surprised by the sudden phenomenon.
Some even suspected the demons had launched a large-scale attack specifically targeting the Mystic Purge Clan.
The head judge was also a normal elder, so he could only listen helplessly as he heard his superiors forming theories.
They were not in contact with the Patriarch at the moment since he was away for some work.
"Calm down, activate the barrier formation first. We will decide our next course of action properly."
"Ask Sir Kyle to lead a team of exorcists and inspect every corner of the clan and apprehend anyone they suspect who might be associated with the phenomenon or demon."
"Yes, elder!" One of the elders on the other side of the communication device quickly obeyed.
Another elder chimed in as she said, "I believe it's not related to demons. With the level of security we have, only a catastrophe-level demon would dare to enter this place."
Hearing her, others also nodded.
"She's right, even a catastrophic class demon would be hesitant to enter; this place filled with the best exorcists could easily threaten its life. I think we should investigate it more deeply."
"Hmm, now that I remember, some years ago, didn't something this ominous happen too? At that time, the respected guardian of the clan went personally to solve it, I did not hear anything about it from her afterwards."
"Neither did I… what could have happened?"
"I believe we should directly ask the clan guardian about this!" someone suggested.
