happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The silence that followed felt like a mocking laugh, echoing through the oppressive darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of the voices chuckled, harsh and filled with malice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Did she really think that would work?” Another sneered, “How naïve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Calling out to her little powers as if they could save her now.” The cruel, commanding voice from before joined in, sharper this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Pathetic,” it declared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re in a realm beyond mortal comprehension, girl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A little stunt like that won’t save you here.” Before Su Jiyai could react, a series of attacks launched from the shadows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, weapons materialized with a deadly swiftness, their edges gleaming with dark energy as they shot toward her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A spear whistled past her cheek, another sword nearly grazed her side, and a jagged blade embedded itself inches from her feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She barely had time to dodge, each move a close encounter with death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What am I going to do?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they keep attacking like this, I won’t make it much longer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She tried to push down her panic, focusing instead on understanding her surroundings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The voices continued to taunt her, reveling in her fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is this the so-called threat we were worried about?” one voice asked with a scornful laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“She’s trembling!” another voice crowed gleefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s see how long she lasts against us.” But in the midst of their taunts, Su Jiyai’s mind turned to her abilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The portal, she thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If I can just summon it again… But she quickly realized something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There’s always a delay when I use it, she recalled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her heart sank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It must be a cooldown period.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And it’s usually four hours.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A shiver ran through her as she tried to imagine surviving against these relentless beings for that long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Four hours might as well be a lifetime in this situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She dodged another attack, a wickedly sharp dagger that flew past her ear, the wind of its passing cold against her skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why can’t I see them?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>she thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They see me so clearly, but I can’t perceive them at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her mind leaped back to a vague memory from her studies—a theory about dimensions and perception.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She remembered how her teacher once explained the relationship between two-dimensional and three-dimensional planes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A painting, for instance, is a two-dimensional representation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Humans in the third dimension can view the painting, add to it, or change it, but they can’t physically enter it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If that’s true, she realized, then I’m like the painting to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They’re in the fourth dimension, able to see me and influence my surroundings, but they’re out of my reach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Understanding this dynamic gave her a strange sense of calm as if she finally had a grasp on what she was up against.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they’re in the fourth dimension, they can reach into my space, but not fully interact with it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like I can reach toward the painting but can’t physically enter it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They can attack me, but maybe that’s the extent of their reach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She took a quick glance around the dungeon, looking for any place that might offer her a temporary refuge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she could keep her movements unpredictable, maybe she could survive long enough for the cooldown to pass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The voices continued, but now she listened more closely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why are we wasting so much time?” asked one, impatience evident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just finish her already!” “Patience,” the cold, commanding voice replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let her wear herself down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She’s using up her energy dodging our attacks.” Su Jiyai took a slow breath, steadying herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they wanted her to exhaust herself, she would have to do the opposite—conserve her energy as much as possible, and make them think she was weaker than she was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t have to dodge wildly or run in panic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, she focused on small, precise movements, keeping close to the walls to limit the angles from which they could attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She pressed herself against the damp stones, moving only when she felt the hum of an approaching weapon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A blade sliced through the air to her left, and she ducked, the weapon clanging against the wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her movements were tight, conserving energy while keeping her alive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why isn’t she tiring?” one of the voices hissed in frustration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“She’s smarter than she looks,” the smoother voice admitted, reluctantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Perhaps we underestimated her.” The mocking voices fell into a tense silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jiyai knew they wouldn’t give up, but at least she’d bought herself a few moments of relative calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What about the system?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>she thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is there a way to use it here?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when she tried to activate it, the system felt… sluggish, as if held back by the same fourth-dimensional force that prevented her from seeing her attackers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She couldn’t rely on it right now; she had to endure on her own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jiyai was so exhausted that she missed the next incoming attack, a spear radiating dark energy, suddenly grazed past her stomach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The attack seemed weak, however, a deep horizontal wound appeared on Su Jiyai’s stomach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Su Jiyai could react, a strange sensation started to spread in her entire body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She felt like tens of thousands of ants were crawling on her body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood gushed out of her stomach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To make matters worse, the next second, another attack made its way to Su Jiyai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, it was an axe pulsating with dark energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ahhh.” Su Jiyai’s entire body trembled as she pushed herself away to avoid the axe, but the axe still grazed past her back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jiyai felt her body getting torn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her instincts were telling her, that she might die soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What she didn’t know was…the wound inflicted by the axe and knife turned entirely black, even the blood gushing out from it was black.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without Su Jiyai realizing it, the dark energy from the wound was slowly traveling through her entire body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her veins were turning black and started to pop out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The whites of her eyes slowly turned black.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And all Su Jiyai felt was blackness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a strange and frightening sensation for Su Jiyai, as she slowly lost her eyesight.\u003C\u002Fp>",1031,"2026-06-06T06:36:35.983Z",1,"novelbin.me","aef7912c96f982c64540e8b349f3ce2de3c82f0466206ca828c1ad5954582c21","apocalypse-i-have-a-multiplier-system-chapter-169","apocalypse-i-have-a-multiplier-system-chapter-167",661,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fapocalypse-i-have-a-multiplier-system-cover.jpg"]
