he too felt the sensation of being watched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was as if countless eyes were hiding in every shadow of the ruins, coldly observing the two intruders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stay alert, don’t stray too far from me,\" Ron cautioned, his hand already resting on the hilt of his sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, they reached the entrance to the ruins without encountering any attacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The eerie silence only heightened their unease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The interior of the ruins presented a surreal scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walls and floors were covered with a layer of pulsating flesh, occasionally twitching irregularly, making moist sounds;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless translucent sack-like structures hung from the ceiling, with vague humanoid outlines visible inside, but they were not entirely human, instead, they were some indescribable twisted beings;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air was filled with a humid and cloyingly sweet smell, like the insides of some large creature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron carefully avoided the quivering flesh on the ground, searching for a path to the central tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master, what are those?\" Dale pointed to some strange symbols on the walls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The symbols looked like some kind of ancient script.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the lines twisted and flowed unnaturally, seeming to slither like a living thing on the stone walls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron approached to examine them, only to find that the symbols subtly changed under his gaze, becoming harder to decipher, as if willfully avoiding comprehension.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They must be ancient writings twisted by abyssal power, possibly documenting the history or purpose of this place.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron speculated but knew that now wasn’t the time to study ancient civilizations; they had to find the control point quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Passing through a series of warped corridors and rooms, they finally reached an open space at the center of the ruins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed to have been a hall or a place of worship, now reduced to a ruin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the central altar remained intact, surrounded by several half-collapsed stone pillars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the altar stood the glowing tower, and they had to go through the altar to enter the tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We are here, but...\" Ron cautiously surveyed the surroundings:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s too quiet, something’s not right.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he finished speaking, the air around the altar suddenly warped, rippling like the surface of water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several blurry figures emerged from the air, gradually taking solid form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were five humanoid creatures wearing tattered armor, their skin a pallid gray covered with black patterns, eyes hollow yet glowing with ghostly blue light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their movements were perfectly synchronized, as if controlled by a single consciousness, drawing weapons from their waists and forming a circle around Ron and Dale, hemming them in the center.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shadow Nightmare Hunters...\" Ron immediately recognized the creatures:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Warriors who died on ancient battlefields, their souls twisted by abyssal power, turned into semi-corporeal beings.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dale nervously moved closer to Ron, her hands starting to gather water elements, ready for battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master, they... seem to be waiting for something.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, the five shadow nightmare hunters did not attack immediately but remained on alert, as if awaiting a signal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron stepped forward experimentally, and the five hunters reacted instantly, pointing their weapons at him, yet still refraining from attacking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They’re guarding the altar...\" He quickly understood the situation:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We have to deal with them to approach the control point.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He swiftly assessed the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shadow Nightmare Hunters are known for their speed and synchronized attacks, but their degree of materialization is low, giving them some resistance to physical attacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Conventional weapons have limited effect on them, but magic can counter them effectively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dale, we need to coordinate,\" Ron said softly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You prepare the water prison technique, I’ll draw their attention.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Little Sea Siren nodded, quietly stepped back a few paces, and began forming complex gestures, as water elements slowly gathered around her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron, in turn, infused his longsword with spiritual power, coating it with a thin layer of light flame, the result of combining the \"Ring of Brilliance\" with his swordsmanship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s go!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He suddenly burst into action, charging towards the nearest shadow nightmare hunter at incredible speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The five hunters immediately sprang into motion, their actions as fast as lightning, launching an attack on Ron almost simultaneously.\u003C\u002Fp>",874,"2026-05-29T14:43:43.888Z","2026-06-01T04:29:33.427Z",1,"novelbin.me","636044d565a2a0b3ec8c4f166a577130b909dcbab9edba3160e61a23aca8756a","wizard-unlimited-profession-slots-chapter-307","wizard-unlimited-profession-slots-chapter-305",911,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwizard-unlimited-profession-slots-cover.jpg",{"terms":25},[]]
