"Fike, didn't any Exotic Beasts appear just now?"

Cisco asked, confused as he rubbed his head.

"No, they didn't. There was nothing other than the pink smoke."

Fike answered calmly.

"Then it seems that the two Demon King-tiers we encountered on the third floor were really from this floor!

"It's quite fortunate that those two descended down... Otherwise, if we only encountered them here on the fourth floor, the consequences would have been unimaginable."

Casey muttered.

"That's true. Anyway, let's go on upstairs!"

Iamas said.

They prepared to set off. After regrouping and regaining their bearings, they headed toward the fifth floor of the Exotic Beast Tower.

The stairway leading to the fifth floor was bizarre. It started off with a royal golden color, but as they ascended, it gradually shifted to a more fiery hue that resembled the flames of hell.

Unsurprisingly, as the group emerged on the fifth floor, they found that its layout was hell-themed.

Countless wilted flowers and willows littered the ground, and there was even the occasional pool of surging lava.

Looking around, they spotted a black-robed man standing in front of the stairs leading to the sixth floor.

When the black-robed man saw the crowd, he immediately walked straight toward them without hesitation.

"Everyone, be careful of this guy!"

Cisco warned.

Seeing the group so wary of him, the man laughed out loud.

"Hahahaha! You bunch of ants! I didn't think that you would actually make it here!

"But this place will be your grave!"

The black-robed man snarled fiercely.

Fike looked at the stranger in front of him before asking.

"Who are you? Why are you here?

"Are you from the Evil God's Headquarters?"

After hearing this, the man continued to laugh.

"Hahaha! Ant! I didn't expect you to know about the Evil God's Headquarters!

"But so what if you know? Your time of reckoning has come!"

Once the black-robed man was done speaking, five Demon King-tier Exotic Beasts with varying physiques materialized behind him.

What made these different from the previous ones, however, was that human heads and arms protruded from the different parts of these beast's bodies.

They looked truly terrifying indeed.

"Let my pets take good care of you!"

The stranger called.

As soon as he spoke, the five Demon King-tier beasts flew into attack.

Only this time, their speed seemed to be much faster than any of the previous ones before.

"Fike! Look out!"

Cisco roared.

It turned out that one of the beasts actually had the ability to crawl on walls, just like a spider.

The beast was currently already in position, hanging above Fike's head.

Fike frantically leapt away, grabbing Lan Xi beside him and dodging just as the Demon King-tier spewed a torrent of poison down from the ceiling.

It corroded through the floor immediately.

Meanwhile, Thor was facing three of the beasts alone.

The tachi in his hand did not waver as it swept unceasingly over the bodies of the Demon King-tier Exotic Beasts.

"Fike! Be careful!"

Casey shouted.

At this moment, another Exotic Beast was making its way toward Fike, while its poisonous fangs quickly stabbed at Cisco.

Cisco was quick to react.

After dodging the venomous attack, he immediately began preparing a counterattack.

"You monster! Don't underestimate the power of the genius mage from the Spell School!"

Cisco's staff abruptly burst forth with a blinding light that pierced clean through the body of the beast before him.

Then, he turned to check on Fike.

After mastering Divine Might, it was clear as day that Fike was having a way easier time dealing with these Demon King-tier beasts.

"Is this the strength of Divine Might?"

Fike couldn't help but mutter to himself.

The third eye on Fike's forehead appeared again.

However, this time, it was surrounded by rings of mystical-looking golden runes.

"Explode!"

Fike roared at the Exotic Beast before him.

The golden Demon Slayer Ray, now with an array of incomprehensible ancient runes swirling around it, tore the creature's body into pieces.

Soon, the beast was reduced to nothing more than dust that blew away in the air.

Looking to Thor, he had easily sliced off the heads of two of the Demon King-tier beasts, and his blade was currently hovering just beside the last's.

"Haaa!"

Thor roared in anger as the tachi in his hand sliced through the head of the last Demon King-tier beast.

In a short while, all five of the Demon King-tier Exotic Beasts on the fifth floor had fallen.

The group turned their attention back to the black-robed man, who seemed to have no intention of leaving.

He roared angrily.

"You actually dared to play around with my beloved pets... It seems that you haven't realized the gravity of your situation!"

The man undid his black robe, exposing his bare upper.

Countless eyes writhed across his skin, twisting and turning as the contorted in unnatural positions.

Everyone was appalled at the disturbing scene.

Suddenly, before anyone could react, the eyes began to churn violently.

"You ants! Now, witness the terrifying strength of our lord, the evil god!"

The stranger declared excitedly as the eyes across his body moved and twisted around even more chaotically.

Black liquid started to flow out from each of the eyes, drawing a pattern across his body similar to the formations used in rituals.

Thor was already moving toward the opponent.

However, the moment his blade made contact with man, it was as if he had touched an invisible barrier

Thor was sent flying back.

He spat out a mouthful of blood as he landed.

The stranger's skin, on the other hand, seemed to be slowly rotting.

"Hahahahaha! Lord Evil God! It is my honor to be your sacrifice! Hahahaha!"

Soon, the man was reduced into a puddle of tar-black blood.

Just as everyone was still puzzled, unsure of what had just happened, the floor began to shake violently.

The pool of blood that remained at where the black-robed man had been began to boil, converging into a concrete shape.

No matter how hard the others tried to attack the hardening viscous liquid, every attack seemed to be ineffective.

In the end, the puddle transformed into the appearance of a beautiful maiden, who stepped out from the black pool.

"I never thought that I would see the light of day again!"

The woman spoke cheerily.

At this moment, Fike's hidden information sent out a notification.

[Hidden Information: Extreme Danger! Extreme Danger! Extreme Danger! The evil god's soul of lust has been born. It possesses extremely high offensive capabilities. It is one of the more powerful souls of the evil god. Please evacuate immediately! Please evacuate immediately! Please evacuate immediately!]

"Not good! Everyone, run!"

Fike yelled.

However, immediately, the evil god's soul of lust raised a hand, blocking off their path of retreat.

"Hahaha! You want to leave? It's too late for that now!"
