Fwish! Fwish!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dark tendrils erupted from the [Crown of Calamity], twisting and writhing like living shadows before launching forward with terrifying speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They didn't move randomly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No, there was purpose in their motion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like hunters locking onto their prey, they shot through the air, targeting a precise location marked on the [World Map].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then, without hesitation, they struck the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment they made contact, the earth convulsed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A deep, guttural rumbling filled the air as jagged cracks spread outward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The land beneath Alex's feet trembled, almost as if recoiling in fear of what was about to happen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then with a thunderous crack, the ground split open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A massive chasm tore through the earth, its edges raw and uneven, as though something had forcibly ripped it apart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dust and debris swirled in the air, and an eerie mist seeped up from the newly formed abyss, coiling like ghostly fingers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scent of damp stone and decay drifted upward, carrying with it a lingering sense of something ancient... something vile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rocks tumbled into the darkness below, vanishing without a sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tendrils that had forced the land open slowly withdrew, retreating back to Alex.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entrance had been revealed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex stepped forward, peering down into the depths below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hidden beneath layers of rock, a flight of stone stairs spiraled downward into the unknown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He exhaled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, this was where they had been hiding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It made sense now, why no one had ever found them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This wasn't just about secrecy, it was about control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoever designed this place had done so with absolute confidence, ensuring no outsider could interfere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even a Grand Mage, someone powerful enough to warp to kill most people, would have struggled to locate this hideout.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Alex wasn't a Grand Mage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was someone far greater.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, he placed his foot on the first step and began his descent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air grew heavier with each step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, the walls were rough, uneven rock, but as he ventured deeper, they changed, transforming into smooth, chiseled stone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The transition was unnatural, almost too perfect, like something deliberately carved by hand rather than formed by time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Torches lined the passageway, their flames flickering to life as he passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They cast long, eerie shadows against the walls, stretching and twisting as if alive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The deeper he went, the more the air pulsed, not with heat, but with something else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something dark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was as if the tunnel itself was breathing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his mind, Alphox, the primordial dragon who had been watching in silence, finally spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not afraid of traps?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex smirked, \"No. Why would I be?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't arrogance, it was simply the truth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if there were traps, they wouldn't matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The difference in power was too vast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, the [Crown of Calamity] was still active, its tendrils shifting restlessly around him, refusing to vanish like they usually would.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That could only mean one thing: it was eager to help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex continued downward, taking his time, not out of caution, but because the atmosphere itself seemed to demand it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The deeper he went, the more the walls seemed to hum with an unseen energy, as if they were alive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, after nearly twenty minutes, he arrived at the end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[The Hatred Sect Hideout]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The chamber he stepped into was vast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Enormous stone pillars towered around him, each engraved with intricate, twisted symbols that radiated malice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The floor was a polished black stone, smooth as glass, reflecting the dim torchlight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And at the center of the room, a maze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex exhaled through his nose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Of course.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It couldn't be simple, multiple passageways branched off in different directions, leading deeper into the hideout.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some likely led to dead ends.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others probably looped back onto themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was designed to confuse, to mislead, to frustrate anyone who dared enter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it didn't matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because no matter how complex the maze was, Alex knew exactly where he was going.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Main Room was somewhere ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And once he found it, he would leave nothing behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His footsteps echoed softly as he moved forward, swallowed by the eerie silence that hung in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The deeper he went, the stronger the lingering presence of hatred became.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't just the people who had lived here—no, this place itself was steeped in it, soaked in emotions that had been left to fester for far too long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, after navigating the twisting corridors, he heard voices.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We should be careful.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lord Dominic was apparently killed by the curse of silence.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Someone tried to get information out of him?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These weren't the [Guardians of Hatred].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No, these were lower members of the sect, insignificant insects who had deluded themselves into thinking they were part of something greater.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Fools.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex had no intention of letting any of those who attack him walk away alive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The [Bleeding Dragon Claws] formed over his right hand in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His fingers elongated into jagged, crimson talons, pulsing with a dark glow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he advanced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first cultist barely had time to react.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wha—?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex's claws tore through his throat before he could finish the word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood sprayed against the stone wall, and before the body even hit the ground, Alex had already moved to his next target.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second cultist lifted his hands, desperately trying to cast a spell, but he was too slow as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex's claws pierced his chest, cutting straight through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man gasped, choking on blood as he collapsed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The third and final cultist turned to run.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex didn't let him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tendrils from the [Crown of Calamity] lashed forward, wrapping around the man's throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was yanked into the air, his legs kicking uselessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please—!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex watched as the tendrils tightened and the bones of the man cracked, but even then he did nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cultist twitched once, then went limp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The body hit the ground, and silence returned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex exhaled slowly, retracting his claws.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn't even broken his stride, it was effortless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this was only the beginning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The [Main Room] was still ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After eliminating the first group, Alex encountered more cultists within the maze-like corridors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Word of his presence spread fast, of course it did.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it didn't change anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sect's lower members rushed to stop him, desperate, terrified, willing to throw themselves at him in a futile attempt to slow him down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Alex didn't even need to fight anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The [Crown of Calamity] did it for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't know why, but he could feel it, the seething, burning hatred emanating from the crown on his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It pulsed with an almost vengeful energy, and every time another cultist got close, it acted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tendrils lashed out, choking them or slicing them in half.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex never had to lift a finger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eventually, the remaining members realized the truth: they couldn't win.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One by one, they began to flee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No longer concerned with protecting their hideout, they abandoned everything, scrambling toward the exit in a desperate attempt to escape this living nightmare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex let them go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They weren't the ones he was after as long as they didn't attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because now the only thing between him and the [Hatred Demon] were the [Guardians of Hatred].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And unlike the weaklings who had fled…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They wouldn't be given the chance to run.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No mercy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not for them.\u003C\u002Fp>",1255,"2026-06-03T12:12:47.112Z","2026-06-03T12:12:55.154Z",1,"novelbin.me","2c6715f45155d0803804a3ea85a77909a13f27481df2b61581fbf5f16a059916","awakening-reincarnating-with-the-sss-level-extra-chapter-352","awakening-reincarnating-with-the-sss-level-extra-chapter-150",516,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fawakening-reincarnating-with-the-sss-level-extra-cover.jpg"]
