Volume 1 The Land of the Dead Chapter 121 The True Shadow Servant
"Well, I'll just say how can there be that feeling of disgust, it should be these things of the previous generation. ”
Andrea hunched over, the radiance of divinity circulating in her heterochromatic vertical pupils, and in a special section that mortals could not perceive, a cold female voice was transmitting a message to the distant Pantheon.
"Observer 023A under Administrator 'Reaper Rust' reports on Incident AN-981,"
"Last generation?"
"Can you hear how often I communicate?!" Andrea exclaimed.
Not only Roger, but Andrea's divine connection seems to have stimulated the shadow servants below due to some factors in the underworld.
The shadow servants who had been wandering rushed over in an instant.
"Roar!"
Between the tentacles, the shriveled body of the snake-headed divine servant instantly expanded, it had a blood-red color, a giant-like body, like an extraordinarily strong divine servant, with a snake-like face with closed eyes, but its face was full of pain and madness!
This monster, which seemed to be a mixture of divine servants and humans, condensed out of thin air, and then struggled to break through the entangled tentacles, and an incredible scene appeared: the tentacles that should have been completely tough dissolved in the blood oozing from its body, and the monster's body also became illusory, and the two quickly merged and penetrated each other, and the monster's body was forced out of the tentacles like this!
For some reason, Usugru seemed to be ready, he brought with him the newly enchanted scroll and the ritual quill pen, and upon seeing the precious ancient manuscripts, he immediately unfolded the scroll and let it float in the air beside him, then held the quill in his hand and placed the other hand on top of the already fragile ancient parchment, and with the obscure spell, the power of magic surged around her, and the quill suddenly broke away from his fingers, and flew to the scroll on its own and began to write rapidly.
The characters on the parchment bloomed with an energy similar to magic, and a semicircular barrier appeared above everyone's heads, like an upside-down big wrist.
Those are the divine texts, the ones that have been purified.
It's just that even if it was purified, the divine text containing great power still made everyone who witnessed it on the scene couldn't help but have a weird creepy feeling, as if those words exuded a terrifying aura as if there was a special power.
"I ...... I'm starting to dislike these things......" Senna got goosebumps all over her body and couldn't help but hide behind Roger's back, "This place feels very, very bad to me......"
Roger was about to make a similar statement, but before he could speak, a very slight grunt suddenly came from behind him.
This was followed by another gurgling sound.
The snake-headed monster regained its form at this moment, and as soon as it was freed from its restraints, it rushed straight towards Roger and his party, and let out a chaotic roar as it pounced: "Clear...... Rebellion!!"
Roger drew his spear and rushed out of the barrier: "Be careful, I'll kill them!"
Several swords blocked the monster's path from all sides, and then scorching blades, hardened daggers, and a barrage of arcane missiles slammed down on the monster's head and face—all but the arcane missiles hit the ground solidly.
However, its vitality is terrifying, even if its limbs are cut and broken, and even the weakness of its back as a divine servant is slashed by Roger's sword, it is still not dead, it still struggles to get up, and pounces on Andrea, who is in its sight.
Andrea immediately stepped aside to touch the fish after the first stab, she never thought that she would become the target of the monster, but she was frightened and screamed, and the next second the whole person shrank into the shadow and escaped into the shadows.
The monster pounced, and when it was not able to gain a foothold, Usugru seized the opportunity, and several divine words resurfaced on the scroll, and a holy light enveloped it.
"Roar!"
Shrouded in the light of holiness, the monster that seemed to be a mixture of human beings and divine servants fell heavily to the ground, but instead of beginning to dissipate like normal divine servants, it squirmed and gradually recovered, and showed signs of getting up again!
"Isn't this dead yet?!" Roger was taken aback by this unusual situation, and immediately took his sword in hand and prepared to step forward to continue mending. There is a book shortage
"No, these servants are like some of the guys above, and they can be resurrected continuously!"
"Nonsense, these are just guards guarding something, dream monsters of the divine servant, and the real core is on the back of the world!"
Glancing at the monster that had re-entered a stalemate with Usuglu and his party, and confirming that this monster would not suppress Usuglu and the others for the time being in addition to its strong vitality, Roger immediately grabbed Andrea's arm: "Take me in and have a look!"
Andrea hesitated rarely: "First of all, I need to remind you that the back of the world should not be a place for a ranger of your level to enter, not to mention that this subspace belongs to the Type 3 subspace that lacks dimensional crystal walls, God knows what will happen to the back side of the world." ”
"In this situation, there is no need to hesitate. Looking around at Usugru, who was struggling to support the barrier, Roger muttered.
Andrea gritted her teeth and pulled Roger's arm hard: "Okay!"
The strange sense of imbalance came again, and the sounds and perceptions of the real world quickly faded away, and Roger was pulled to the back of the world by Andrea in front of his eyes.
This world, which exists parallel to the real space-time, seems to always maintain the same brightness, neither dark nor bright, whether on the surface or in a deep cave, it always maintains a dim and dark situation that does not affect the vision.
The first thing Roger saw when he entered the back of the world was to look around: obviously different from the material world and the soul world, or even nothingness, Roger could feel his body and soul, but the relationship between the two seemed to be inseparable, and any action required a hundred times the effort of the usual day to complete.
Apparently this is a chaotic reflection of real time and space, and although the shadow servants are gone, the serpent-headed servants are still bound there by tentacles - only its limbs are more dry, and its muscles are fibrous.
None of that's critical, though.
"9527, I really don't know how to complain about your luck, there are so many things in the last generation, but the most troublesome one. ”
In the direction that Andrea looked over, there was a circle of dark clumps of smoke and blood-red mud that spread out of the black mist—the center of the four corpses of the Divine Servants in the present world.
And along with the mud, there are countless chaotic whispers that suddenly fill my mind!
On the back of the black and white world, the blood-colored mud that constantly gushes out of the black mist rolls like living creatures, they flow out of the fog in a steady stream, but they never spread beyond the black fog as if they were disappearing out of thin air, they resemble some kind of disgusting, creepy mollusk, and they make disturbing muddy noises as they tumble.
At first Roger thought it was a normal sound in the mud tumbling, but soon he heard the murmur of a man in his sleep, and no one could hear any logical information from the blasphemous and chaotic whispers, which could only bring fear, irritation, conjecture, and uneasiness.
Not only Roger, but even Andrea had never seen such a strange thing in the back of the world, it obviously corresponded to the location of the original cultivation containers, but these blood-colored mud were very different from the previous rules of "reflection" of the current world on the back of the world, it was obviously something more distorted, and it should not exist here, not so much that it "reflected" here, but that it occupied something that was originally here.
Roger looked at the mud that kept pouring out of the black mist with an instinctive sense of disgust, and then looked back at Andrea, "What is this...... It looks disgusting. ”
"Just disgusting? ...... Doesn't it feel any other way?"
He felt a little strange, although the blood-colored mud gave people a very bad feeling, and the constant whispering was also disturbing, and some kind of weird force was constantly trying to put horror slides in Roger's mind, but these things didn't have any more touches at all except for making Roger find a little bit of the excitement of staying up late to watch horror movies in his last life- And Andrea is a lord who is not afraid of heaven and earth, and when the demon tide is in danger, she dares to drill into the graves of the ancients to dig graves.
Andrea also looked a little strange, and she glanced at the mud with a little fear: "Yes...... Oh, yes...... But just now, I just looked at these things and I felt like my mind was going to explode, and even thinking about what it looked like would make me hallucinate one after another, but now I don't know what's going on...... These things are still disgusting, but they don't seem to have the feeling of being mentally attacked. ”
"Really?" Roger looked at Andrea, frowned at the mud, and then gripped the Pioneer Sword and cautiously walked towards its source.
A certain intuition told him that the strange "distorted hybrid" monster outside was probably related to the mud on the back of the world, and if this mud was not resolved, the investigation here would probably never be able to go smoothly.
Andrea watched Roger walk forward, and also pinched her sweat nervously, in the face of such a foreign object beyond common sense, combat power seemed not so reliable - but the next second, her eyes widened in shock.
Because as Roger moved forward step by step, the blood-colored mud that was constantly surging was retreating little by little!
At first, it wasn't obvious, but after Roger had taken a few steps, the mud that spread in all directions had sunk into a large area, and it was obvious that everyone could notice it.
