Nothing unexpected happened until the two left the cave.
Jiang Ran used his [Armor] ability to create a sophisticated mechanical motorcycle for himself: "Come on, I'll take you for a ride!"
The two sped off toward Alice's Cottage!
On Aransta's side, it was already night of the second day.
Arceus remained motionless, seemingly asleep. Defeating a near-god level being was far from easy, even with the help of a divine miracle; the drain on Arceus would be considerable!
So in this huge room, the only ones still conscious are Aransta and Laaste, one human and one ghost. Aransta doesn't expect Laaste to come up with any good solutions for him.
"According to the established plot, the night crows will break into the hut tonight. This is really troublesome..."
The observer briefly mentioned that the pot of red medicine in the basement could be used to deal with the night crows, but if the hut was destroyed, they still wouldn't be able to survive a whole night of storm.
Moreover, if Night Raven is a bizarre creature of the same level as Alice, then he should also be a near-god-level being, and Rhaast is no match for him.
The medicine couldn't take effect instantly; even a delay of just one or two seconds was enough for the Night Raven to kill them.
"This is a real headache." Alanstar tapped his forehead. "In previous dungeons, [Near God] level characters were all top-tier figures. How could we possibly see them until the very last moment? Ugh, this is truly unbelievable!"
Laast was also a bit frustrated. His individual ID was 069, and in the previous dungeons, he was an absolute big shot, the kind who could walk sideways. But ever since he met that kid Arceus, he's almost lost his confidence!
Is this the aftereffect of playing too many high-level games?
"Anyway, Laaste, you have to do me a favor."
The night storm arrived unnoticed. Aransta locked the doors and windows, and instead of going to the bedroom, he stayed in the living room.
"It would be better for both of us if you didn't break in tonight."
Thump thump thump—
A knock sounded at the door, and Alansta's heart tightened. Wasn't it a knock on the window? Perhaps the Night Raven would knock and leave like it did last night. After all, logically speaking, he was looking for Alice, and now that Alice was gone, what reason would the Night Raven have to break into the house?
Thump thump thump—
The knocking not only struck the door, but also the hearts of the high-ranking officials of the White Eagle Nation. As for netizens from other countries, they were naturally happy to see Aransta die here.
Bang--
The door was smashed open with a punch. Alansta's heart sank, and he sighed slightly. It seemed that no matter what he did, this was a predetermined plot. Whether Alice was there or not, it would not change the fact that the Night Raven would break into the hut!
"The old days... huh?"
The night raven was clearly stunned when it stepped into the hut. Alanstar hadn't cleaned up Alice's body yet, and the night raven looked at Alice's body thoughtfully.
"Poor little girl, is she dead?" Night Raven shook his head. "Unfortunately, I was too late. You were treated by a quack doctor, but this still helps you escape from this endless loneliness. May you rest in peace."
“However, the divine power will not disappear.” Night Raven took out the syringe and then looked at the pendant on Aransta’s waist. “I will take back this divine power. Young man, you’re also sick, seriously sick. But don’t worry, I will take away all your pain!”
"You're the one whose illness I'm treating is quite serious!"
Aransta kicked over the large pot in front of him, and the bright red liquid instantly poured onto the Night Raven!
With Laaste's help, Aransta successfully moved the large pot from the basement to the living room, at a distance that would ensure that if the pot were kicked over, the liquid would splash out and cover the entire area in front of the door!
"As a qualified doctor, I'm used to patients' resistance. It's okay, it'll be over soon!"
Just as the night raven was about to take a step forward and swoop, Aransta quickly called out to him!
"Wait! You said you're a doctor?"
"That's right, I will take away all the diseases and pain in the world, I am 'Night Raven'!"
A few reddish cotton-like growths had already appeared on the night raven's ankles. Alansta laughed and said to him, "How do I know you're not a quack? I wouldn't feel comfortable accepting your treatment!"
"There is no better doctor in the world than me!" The Night Raven raised its head. "I am the crystallization of civilization, the symbol of ascension, the product of 'God'!"
"Stop, stop, stop! I don't want to hear your bragging!" Aransta pointed at him. "You can't even cure your own illness, what right do you have to call yourself the best doctor in the world? If you want to treat me, then cure yourself first!"
"Heal yourself?" Night Raven shook his head. "No, I am perfect, I am not sick."
"No, you're sick."
"No, I'm not sick."
"You have."
“No.” Night Raven’s tone remained flat. “This is a pointless argument.”
He tried to take a step forward, but then he realized that his legs had turned into red cotton, and he had collapsed to the ground!
"Not sick? If you're not sick, walk a few steps! Walk a few steps!"
Night Raven stretched out his arm, his eyes fixed on Aransta!
“I will reclaim the divine power that is rightfully mine.”
Then, his body exploded into black feathers, which turned into red cotton wool in the air.
The front door had been completely destroyed, and the night storm would inevitably spread into the house sooner or later. Aransta returned to his bedroom and locked the door tightly.
Without the battle between Alice and the Night Raven, the cabin wasn't extensively damaged. Alanstar only needed to return to his bedroom, which remained a closed space even though the front door was destroyed.
"Phew—finally, we made it through."
Aransta sat in the corner of the bedroom, wiping the sweat from his forehead. If the Night Raven hadn't stopped because of his words, he would have had no choice but to use his own talent.
good evening.
Jiang Ran parked his motorcycle in Alice's yard.
Alice's cottage was in complete disarray. The front door had been smashed to pieces, the walls were riddled with holes, and the bedroom floor was completely shattered, revealing the basement below.
A hole about the size of a person had been forcibly knocked open at the bottom of the basement, with scattered doll remains nearby. It seems that Alice used this small hole to block the entrance and protect herself from the night storm.
Alice was nowhere to be seen; judging by the timeline, she should have gone out to find food.
The night crows always arrive as promised on the night of the following day, no matter where the ghost storyteller is.
