Two kilometers from Blue Diamond Manor, in a deserted mountain forest.
The figures of the stranger and the Gentleman suddenly materialized.
The Gentleman fell to the ground, a wretched mess. Flesh and blood writhed within his shattered skull, attempting to heal, but the Anti-Demon Attribute of the Alchemy Bullet suppressed the Corrupter's powerful Recovery Ability. It continued to inflict burning damage, filling the air with the scent of roasting meat.
Meanwhile, the stranger's body once again began to age at a visible rate. His white hair fell out in clumps, his eye sockets sank, his wrinkles deepened, his figure hunched over, and his muscles wasted away...
In the blink of an eye, he had become a frail old man whose life was like a candle flickering in the wind.
