Chapter 185 Vicehaven
They realized that Joanna had also entered the dungeon.
Good!
When enemies meet on a narrow path, the braver one wins.
The two of them picked up their pace.
Inside Vicehaven, Joanna found the dungeon entrance inside a bar.
As expected, the city above was not the real Vicehaven.
The real one was underground.
She called Nighthowl, Alwyn, and Lucien over, then activated Symbiotic Link to secure her safety.
In truth, Joanna’s attributes had surged. With the three of them stacked together, her strength was already on par with all three combined.
She stepped carefully into the dungeon.
The lighting inside was dim, and visibility was poor. Alwyn’s body gave off a faint glow, lighting up the entrance.
At that moment, a man appeared ahead of them.
He looked old. He wore a prison uniform. When he saw them, killing intent flashed in his eyes, though he kept it tightly restrained.
He said coldly, “Kids, you’re not my targets. I don’t want trouble. Be smart. Take off your gear and leave your recovery potions and mana potions behind. Otherwise, I’ll eliminate you right
now p>
His tone was vicious.
Joanna’s eyes hardened. She didn’t waste a single word.
The whip snapped forward. At the same time, Lash Purgatory activated.
In an instant, the old man was dragged into hell itself, bound to a gallows.

Around him, countless figures appeared. Ten. Hundreds. Thousands. Tens of thousands.
Their faces were vivid and real. These were people he had truly seen.
There were even infants and elderly among them.
This criminal had once slaughtered an entire town.
His strength was indeed impressive. A Level 39 professional. Even when tens of thousands of souls attacked him at once, he reacted immediately.
“Illusion?” he roared.
“Get lost p>
His soul struggled violently as he activated his skills, trying to dispel what he believed was a mental trick. It failed. The whip lashed down on him, and he let out a furious howl.
Light burst from his body, actually blocking part of the whip’s force.
“Not an illusion? A mental attack? A mental-domain skill?” he sneered. “Well deserve to be student from the academy. You’re not even enrolled, but you already have this level of power. But you still can’t deal with me. I’ve killed more people than you can count. My mental strength is far beyond yours. Just the few of you aren’t my match p>
He hadn’t even noticed Joanna’s true profession. He assumed they were just four students and that only one of them had attacked.
He laughed smugly. Then he felt something warm on his neck. Blood began to flow. More and more. His soul power drained rapidly. Suddenly, he understood.
The purgatory vanished. His vision tilted. He saw a body in a prison uniform, blood pouring from its neck. There was no head.
Thud!
The head hit the ground.
Joanna’s expression remained calm.
Lash Purgatory was not all-powerful. But controlling someone for even one second was enough. In the real world, one second could change everything.
Nighthowl had used a single spatial cut to sever the man’s head.
Joanna glanced around and noticed a token had dropped.

Finishes
She drew it to her hand with mental force and checked the number on it.
10
A Level 30 professional, +10 points.
“Points Token (Special Item): Represents the holder’s points. Cannot be stored in spatial storage items p>
She wondered if it could be placed in the Star Realm. The Star Realm was a skill, not an item.
Even if it couldn’t, she wasn’t worried. No one would dare steal from her.
Joanna took out a backpack from her space storage and placed the token inside.
“Nighthowl, carry this for me p>
“Okay p>
“My queen, this place is kind of dirty. Do you want me to carry you? Don’t let your shoes get dirty. Your gown is dragging on the floor p>
“No need p>
Joanna summoned the Crimson Throne. After its upgrade, it looked even more grand and imposing. As a spectral item without a physical form, it could change size freely. She shrank it down and sat on it.
“Let’s keep exploring p>
The complex dungeon limited Joanna’s full power, but she had plenty of patience. She would clear it slowly, one target at a time.
She wondered how the other students were doing.
At Divine and Demonic Academy.
Many professors were watching the freshmen’s performance. Naturally, their focus was on Joanna.
“Joanna is truly impressive. You could call her an all-rounder p>
“We thought she won first place in the Star Domain Battle because of her beasts. But the do we look, the more we see her true strength. Her thinking, mindset, combat awareness, dur guides, and exploration skills-she surpasses ordinary students in all of it p>
3/4
“She was the first to discover the dungeon p>
“And her skill growth is extremely fast. I hope she gives us even more surprises p>
None of the professors present doubted Joanna. They all fully acknowledged her strength.
