System Prompt: Discover the Super Specialty "Ability Obstacle Jumper"!

Overview: With Psionic Concentration, your abilities will be relayed from the astral plane, bypassing any entities or force field obstacles that stand in your way.

……

"Ability to overcome obstacles", to put it bluntly, means that the unleashed psychic ability can "fight cattle across the mountain", learn this specialty, Roland can try to imitate the tactics used by Higgs just now: first build a wall to protect himself, and then use "ability to overcome obstacles" with dissociation, purgatory and other abilities to bypass the wall and attack the enemy, becoming a humanoid turret with both attack and defense.

"It's a pity that I haven't mastered the ability of 'Star Shield' yet, but I can make do with the 5-ring magic 'Stone Wall Technique', but the stone wall is opaque and cannot defend against attacks from overhead, so after all, it still can't perfectly match the 'Ability Barrier Leap'......"

Roland thought about it for a moment and decided to take the time to go to the Silver Sky after returning to Varess to find Eltaran and learn from her about the Astral Shield, or ask Nikita to think of a way to change the 4-ring Arcane "Bouncy Orb" into a divine or psionic version - the "Bouncy Orb" that is immune to most weapons and spell attacks is more suitable for the "Ability Barrier Break" than the "Astral Shield".

After cleaning up the battlefield, Roland and his party returned to Vault 13. At this time, everyone's mood relaxed, and the occasional encounter with the fanatics on the way was wiped out - in fact, after the Higgs and the high-ranking followers of the Bersert Sect were wiped out, there were no more enemies to take seriously in the streets of Akron, and all that remained was rabid dogs, werewolves, and crows.

However, everyone's good mood did not last long. As soon as he walked out of the Cathedral of the Maniacs, there was a sudden roar behind him, and when he looked back, the Cathedral of the Maniac was collapsing and collapsing, and in the blink of an eye, it became a ruin.

"It's a good thing we left in time, otherwise we would have been buried in the rubble."

"That old monster of Higgs is really not a good thing, and when he dies, he still leaves a trap to harm people."

Roland listened to the small talk of his companions, but the look in his eyes gradually became solemn. Far sharper than others, he realized that the Cathedral of the Maniac was not just collapsing—with the center of the church as the origin, the entire ruins were rapidly decomposing and disappearing, and the masonry and rubble were all reduced to nothingness, leaving only an expanding black hole.

"Have you noticed, there is a large expanding black shadow in the middle of the ruins of the church, which seems to be engulfing the surrounding buildings." Grophaus also realized that the situation was not right.

Everyone couldn't help but smile and look at the ruins of the church vigilantly, and soon found that a pitch-black substance was emerging from the depths of the ruins, like a big grinning mouth, swallowing everything around it.

Roland noticed that the black hole was still expanding after devouring the ruins of the church, and the speed of expansion was getting faster and faster, and other nearby buildings were also swept into it, and in a blink of an eye, it turned into nothingness, and he had a premonition that something was wrong, and hurriedly urged his companions to run quickly.

The crowd turned and ran, racing against the expanding black hole behind them. When everyone hurried back to Vault 13, they looked back and were dumbfounded.

Under the blood-colored moonlight, the street and the buildings it carried disintegrated into dust the moment it touched the black hole, dissipating into the dark void - the fog-shrouded Akron was rapidly disappearing.

The black hole is expanding faster and faster, and in the blink of an eye, it is approaching the block where Vault 13 is located, and watching the street in front of it be swallowed up by the dark shadow, and the inexplicable sense of fear is also eating away at everyone's hearts.

Having eliminated the Cult of the Manatics and killed Higgs, the tyrant who ruled Akron, why did the situation become worse than before?

In the face of the approaching black void, Roland and the others tried their best, all the magic and spiritual energy were tried, but they still couldn't stop the black hole from approaching, and the arrows, javelins, and spells they shot at were all devoured without exception.

This horrific scene makes everyone wonder if they have not yet escaped the nightmare of Akron, and have been drawn into another, more terrible and desperate nightmare.

The sound of the piano suddenly sounded, breaking the suffocating silence.

Roland looked back at the place where the sound of the piano came from, and Anthony was holding Jessica's father's relic, the magic lyre, and was playing a familiar piece of music intently.

Roland was stunned for a moment, and took out Jessica's music box from the storage bag, the lid of which was flipped open, and the sound made intertwined with the melody that Anthony was playing, as if playing the same piece of music in an ensemble.

At this point, the door to Vault 13 opened, and Maria walked out holding Jessica's hand. Roland hurriedly put away the music box, so as not to wake up Jessica's erased memory.

Jessica looked at the lyre in Anthony's hand, her big eyes flickered twice, and a confused look appeared, as if she remembered something, but she couldn't fathom it.

At this time, everyone also woke up to why Anthony suddenly played the piano at this life-and-death juncture, and the notes played by the "Civil Lyre Piano" had an indescribable magic that could prevent the black hole from dissociating Vault 13 and the surrounding buildings.

The sound of the piano echoes in the night sky, and the untraceable melody forms a wall that protects the shelter. The constant tide of darkness bypassed the invisible wall and spread towards the street behind Vault Thirteen, and in the blink of an eye, the neighborhood was swallowed up in the void, except for Vault Thirteen, which was solitary and well-preserved, like an island in a black ocean.

"The mysterious power that dissolves everything is blocked by the sound of the piano, and we are safe for the time being." Corofera whispered.

Roland was silent. Seeing Anthony's increasingly pale face and the sweat oozing from his forehead, he knew that this so-called "safety" was just an illusion. The spell enchantment that inspired the "Civil Lyre Noures" to fight against the Void Black Tide caused great consumption to Anthony, and I am afraid it will not last long.

"Miss Maria, please take care of Anthony, and we'll go to Master Hallmonx to discuss countermeasures."

"Come on in, the Master is waiting for you." Mary said eagerly.

Roland and his party hurried into the vault and returned to the room where Holmonx was, telling him about the strange phenomenon that had taken place outside.

"A mysterious black substance is devouring Akron? There is such a strange thing......" The old man in the crystal jar conveyed his surprise telepathically, and it seemed that he didn't know more than Roland and the others.

Roland was secretly disappointed, and then remembered Higgs's inexplicable last words before he died, and compared with what happened afterward, he gradually realized what he meant by the phrase "You don't have much time", compared to Holmens, Higgs is a personality who knows more about Akron's secrets.
