"Why are there so many ghost exorcists here, hmm?"
Abraham was taken aback and instinctively looked around, his gaze finally settling on a spot on the wall behind him, where a large insignia was hung.
He recognized the insignia; it was the mark of the Blasphemy Association.
Instantly.
Abraham froze, realizing where he had been flung and landed:
"This is the Blasphemy Association's base? Hmm? I've walked into the wolf's den!"
He was startled.
But as he sensed four top Ghost King level auras within the entire building, along with a dozen or so Ghost King level presences, it was clear this was no ordinary base. Such numbers suggested it was the headquarters. Though he realized it was the headquarters, his previous fear vanished:
"No Half-step Town Guardian level aura. Good heavens, it seems... I haven't walked into the wolf's den, but the wolf has walked into the sheep pen."
Abraham's previous gloom vanished, replaced by his signature sinister grin.
[Ding! Abraham is ecstatic... A new vista opens up.]

"If I kill all these blasphemers, I should be able to improve my strength considerably."
Abraham muttered excitedly, exhaling necrotic ghost energy.
As he spoke.
He didn't idle, getting up and walking towards the door of the room he was in.
It was at this moment.
As he casually pushed the door open and stepped out, Abraham suddenly stopped and looked in a certain direction down the corridor.
It was towards the stairwell safety exit.
As he focused his gaze, over a dozen figures entered through the opened safety exit door. They were high-ranking members of the Blasphemy Association leading other blasphemers.
Simultaneously.
Abraham noticed them, and they noticed him.
"Hiss!"
"It really is Abraham! He has indeed broken free."
"That's Abraham?"
Seeing Abraham's unmasked necrotic aura and his distinctive necrotic skin color, the blasphemers were certain that this was the necrotic Abraham from the Kunzian Psychiatric Hospital.
It was at this moment.
They noticed the blood on Abraham's face and his sunken chest.
"Look quickly, he seems injured."
"This must be the damage inflicted on Abraham by the Chairman."
"There's a chance, everyone don't panic. Although he's a Half-step Town Guardian, the Chairman dealt him damage at the cost of his life, so we can suppress him."
"Yes, we cannot let the Chairman's sacrifice be in vain! Suppress him!"
They spoke one after another.
In their view, for Abraham to be here, the Chairman must have been severely injured at the Kunzian Psychiatric Hospital, or perhaps even sacrificed. Otherwise, how could Abraham have so easily reached the Blasphemy Association headquarters, appearing so arrogantly from the sky, and injured at that!
On the other side.
Abraham, not understanding Korean, couldn't comprehend the blasphemers' words. However, this didn't stop him from being pleased. He grinned and said,
"You've come at the right time. I was just looking for you."
As he finished speaking.
"Careful!!"
"Not good, quickly set up the formation! Perform the shamanistic dance!"
The pupils of the Blasphemy Association's high-ranking members constricted, and they shouted urgently, but it was too late.
As they watched...
With a bang, Abraham exploded, transforming into a dispersed mass of necrotic ghost energy. As if teleporting, he reappeared with a bang, his necrotic ghost energy solidifying before a high-ranking member of the Blasphemy Association.
He reached out to grab the high-ranking member. Even though the latter was a top Ghost King and reacted to resist, he was no match for the Half-step Town Guardian level Abraham.
Following that.
Abraham lifted him with one hand, opened his mouth, and spewed out a large amount of necrotic ghost energy, directing it towards the other blasphemers present, saying:
"I'll start with you as an appetizer. I haven't eaten blasphemers in a long time. I feel like you blasphemers are quite delicious. Perhaps it's because you eat kimchi all year round, making your bodies flavorful. You taste very much like kimchi."
"I'll fight you to the death."
The high-ranking member of the Blasphemy Association gritted his teeth and roared. His arm rapidly withered as he used the blasphemers' curse at the cost of his own life.
The next moment.
Buzz!
Abraham felt a mysterious power strike his chest. Already injured, he was hit by this immense impact, causing him to release the blasphemer he was holding and retreat two steps. But that was all.
It could be seen.
Golden radiance shone from his body, blocking the power of the curse.
"A mere top Ghost King's curse wants to injure me? If you were my equal, I might fear you, but you are not. I have God's bestowed name as protection and am not afraid of curses."
Abraham grinned sinisterly:
"My former Chairman also tried to curse me back then, and he was injured just like this. Thank God."
His voice was not loud.
However, the blasphemers present who understood Italian changed color. Even those who didn't understand, upon the quick explanation from the old high-ranking member, understood the situation. For other ghost exorcism professions, using their own lives to perform exorcism techniques might injure Abraham, but blasphemers could not. He had God's bestowed name as protection, making him a nemesis to blasphemers.
"Don't use curses, use traditional ghost exorcism methods against him."
The old high-ranking member shouted.
Before he finished speaking.
Perhaps due to their fear of Abraham from years ago, or perhaps recalling their previous discussion, the old high-ranking member quickly said in Italian:
"Abraham, stop! You don't need to take revenge on us. Although our Chairman injured you, all of this was caused by that Great Xia person, Zhang Wei. The debt should be paid to the right person. If you want revenge, you should go to Great Xia."
As he spoke.
Abraham, who was about to continue his attack, stopped and looked at the old high-ranking member.
Seeing this.
The old high-ranking member was overjoyed, thinking his words had worked. He quickly continued:
"You might not know, but the reason our Chairman went to disturb you was because of Zhang Wei. He refined a Town Guardian level artifact and wanted to test it on a ghost, so he chose you. Our Chairman didn't want him to go and even tried to persuade him, but he insisted."
Just as he was about to continue speaking.
Abraham made a move, holding up his hand and saying:
"Wait, what did you say? Say that again? That artifact was refined by that Great Xia person???"
"Yes, yes, he refined it. To be precise, he repaired a Half-step Town Guardian level artifact, coincidentally upgrading it to Town Guardian level. Then he wanted to test its power. Our Chairman repeatedly reminded him that the artifact was from Great Xia and would have no effect on you, who have God's bestowed name as protection. But he just wouldn't listen."
"That artifact is from Great Xia?"
Abraham interrupted him again.
The old high-ranking member hesitated for a moment. Although he didn't understand Abraham's meaning, he still answered honestly:
"Uh? Yes, it's a Great Xia artifact. Zhang Wei actually stole it from our Blasphemy Association. That artifact was a gift from an ancient dynasty of Great Xia to an ancient dynasty of our thief country."
Abraham: "..."
Abraham fell silent, looking at the old high-ranking member's serious eyes, and subconsciously looked at his sunken chest:
[Ding! Abraham is dumbfounded. So I was really injured by a Great Xia artifact? And one that was just refined? And I became a test subject? How could this happen? It shouldn't be like this. Have I become trash...]
[Host gains System Points +630]
It was at this moment.
Other blasphemers also spoke up, one after another, all denouncing Zhang Wei as trash, even directly cursing him as trash.
"A young person, just because he has some talent and reached Half-step Town Guardian level, he becomes arrogant. He is the one who deserves to die the most."
"Exactly, exactly, Abraham, if you want revenge, you should find Zhang Wei. It's because of this trash that the Chairman went to disturb you."
"Yes, it's this Zhang Wei, who thinks he has a little skill, and then... Ah!!!"
Before he could finish speaking.
Terrifying necrotic energy surged.
Boom!!
Abraham slapped a blasphemer who was about to say more, sending him flying. His head spun 360 degrees, and his body was flung against the wall, killing him instantly.
Old high-ranking member: "????"
Other blasphemers: "????"
[Ding! Abraham... Damn it, have you guys finished your insults? Zhang Wei is trash? Doesn't that mean I'm even more trash for being injured by him? Damn it, if you can't speak properly, just shut up. As expected, the people of the thief country are the worst at speaking in this world.]
Then.
Abraham said grimly:
"Shut up, damn it, Zhang Wei is not trash!!"
[Ding! Abraham... I was actually injured by a Great Xia artifact, this is impossible, absolutely impossible! You are definitely lying to me.]
[Host gains System Points +640]
Old high-ranking member: "????"
Other blasphemers: "????"
At this moment.
The blasphemers were stunned... What was going on? Why was Abraham defending Zhang Wei?
...
