The Deadly Assassin Robin novel Chapter 1344

Old Fred had once shared an intriguing piece of wisdom, between the different realms of the universe, powerful creatures guarded the gateways between these worlds.

The terrifying monsters before them were likely those very creatures.

No, these were ancient, extraordinary beings that had lived for thousands, perhaps tens of thousands of years.

Each of these exotic creatures had survived because they were the strongest of their kind, the result of countless years of evolution.

They had been placed here by the cosmic laws to protect the boundaries between realms, an essential task to preserve the balance of the universe.

These creatures resided between the Netheris Domain and Earth's realm, in a dangerous region known as the Dark Woods.

To enter the Netheris Domain, one had to traverse this perilous forest.

This was the universal law of conservation.

Should this balance be disturbed, chaos would spread across the various realms under the Galactic Alliance's protection.

The Dark Syndicate and the Curnow couple were prime examples of those who had broken these sacred rules.

In the universe, there were immutable laws.

For the weak, these laws were unavoidable, follow them to the letter, or face disaster.

For the strong, however, these laws were meant to be challenged.

To defy the rules and break into the Netheris Domain, one would first need to deal with these formidable guardians.

As Robin stepped into the Dark Woods, his eyes adjusted to the enveloping shadows.

Since his return from Snow Valley, Robin had noticed dramatic changes within his body—changes brought on by the enhancement from the Dragonblood Stone.

Before entering the Netheris Domain, he had consumed several Bloodshade Fruits, which further transformed him.

Now, Robin realized he could see clearly in the dark, his vision piercing through the night to reveal the hidden world around him.

He glanced at the forest again. It stretched endlessly, a vast wilderness filled with towering trees.

Some trees were so wide that it would take at least a dozen people to encircle them.

The ground was covered with wild grass and crawling with countless poisonous insects and vicious creatures.

These twisted, unnatural beasts were unlike anything found in Earth's jungles.

Each exotic beast radiated a terrifying, multicolored glow from its eyes.

The largest of them were massive, the size of multi-story buildings.

They were scattered throughout the forest like hills, their enormous bodies obstructing the path.

Their cavernous mouths, dripping with blood, were large enough to swallow two fifty-ton trucks at once.

Snakes coiled around the trees had glowing, bloodshot eyes, their breath thick with the stench of death.

Suddenly, a small, black-shelled insect, no bigger than a mouse, leapt onto Robin's hand. Its sharp, needle-like appendages pierced his skin.

With a swift motion, Robin swatted the creature, causing a foul stench to fill the air.

In mere moments, more insects—tens, then hundreds, then thousands—began to crawl toward Robin and Daphne.

The sheer number of insects swarming them made it impossible for Robin and Daphne to use their usual techniques to eliminate them.

Fighting back furiously, they struck with all their might, their blows landing in a vicious storm, quickly covering the ground with the corpses of the beasts.

But then, a swarm of gigantic snakes attacked.

Robin drew his dragon dagger.

Before he could even react, the snakes lunged at him, their massive jaws gaping wide.

Robin fought back with relentless fury, severing the heads of snake after snake.

But each time he cut off a head, it regenerated immediately.

No matter how many times he hacked at them, the snakes' heads grew back again and again.

If this cycle continued, even Robin's incredible strength wouldn't be enough to endure the never-ending onslaught.

As the creatures continued to flood the area, Daphne spoke up, her voice laced with concern. "Mr. Ramsey, we might not make it. Let me lure them away while you find a way out of the Dark Woods!"

"No!" Robin replied, a grim smile on his face as he faced the advancing beasts.

"I don't believe in dead ends. There's always a way out!

"These exotic beasts are nothing more than animals, no matter how fierce.

"In situations like this, the strongest will always reign supreme!

"Draw your blade! We carve our way through!

"Shirley's soul is still out there—we can't die here!"

"Alright, Mr. Ramsey!" Daphne shouted, her voice full of determination.

A surge of energy coursed through her, and the spirit of battle ignited within her.

Back-to-back, Robin and Daphne fought side by side, their blades flashing in a deadly whirlwind.

Over and over, the monstrous creatures, large and small, charged at them with unrelenting fury.

The exotic beasts of the Dark Woods seemed near invincible, as though they could never be killed.
