Chapter 4: The Siege

The castle is shaking!

Even if my soul perception could envelop half of the castle, it couldn't penetrate the walls of the castle, which was made of unknown materials. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info so I don't know what's going on out there.

The summoner and the human known as Grandpa hurried down, and the summoner seemed to hesitate when he saw me and then sent me a soul message saying "Follow me".

I saw that the humans called Grandpa seemed to be quite annoyed by this.

I ran after them, and the three long knives that I hadn't picked up in my hand for a long time were quite blocking my running progress. There wasn't much space in the hallway, so I could only hold it up and move forward, waving it and slashing the whole hallway, as if it shouldn't be.

I recognized the path we were walking towards the basement, and in front of the basement door, the summoner took a deep breath and made a few sounds that were not soul language or human language, and then I felt the essential power in front of the basement door slowly retreat into the basement.

Then I followed them into the basement.

As soon as I entered the basement, I felt a sense of relaxation and joy, and the sea of souls was shaken.

At this time, the summoner sent a soul message asking if I could control myself, and he said that he saw the soul flame in my eyes suddenly increase in a circle. I replied that I could control myself. So he walked with his companion, known as Grandpa, to a huge crystal.

The basement door slowly closed, and I looked up overhead, where there were many powers that were essentially similar to mine.

I saw multitudes of human beings hung from the ceiling, naked, some thick, some thin, some long, some short, some convex and some concave. What is more uniform is that they are all pale, and a black metal body protrudes from the back of their heads to connect to the ceiling, and they are hung from the ceiling like this.

I could feel their beating souls, and the irritability in their souls. Some of them winked at me frantically, others rolled their eyes at me frantically.

Is it implying that they are my kind? But my eyes are white flames!

I watched as the summoner was anxiously fiddling with something in front of the crystal table, and then the crystal table lit up. I motioned for the summoner to look up, and as soon as the summoner looked up, he saw the large number of humans hanging from the ceiling and screamed.

At this time, the human known as Grandpa looked at me in disgust, I didn't care, and he didn't give me a good face anyway.

Then the human, known as Grandpa, motioned for the summoner to be quiet, and the summoner managed to control his emotions, and the two of them stared at the crystal platform. So I went up too.

The crystal platform shows the whole castle in its entirety. It looks clearer than my soul perceives.

The reason for the castle's vibration is a human, or humanoid, floating above the castle. He looked much thinner than a human, and his exposed face seemed to have only a layer of skin wrapped around it.

If he doesn't make any movements, colorful orbs will continue to appear around him to bombard the castle. Whenever it is about to hit the castle, a transparent film will appear above the smashed area to block the ball of light.

Although the castle was not smashed, the vibrations were generated. Whenever it was smashed, the film of light would spit out a black orb and shoot at the humanoids above the castle.

The humanoid seemed very calm, and when the black ball was about to reach him, a translucent membrane would appear around him, and then disappear at the same time as the black ball.

The two sides shot at each other for a while, and the humanoids in the air seemed to be a little impatient, and began to condense the balls of light around themselves, and after a while, there were thousands.

With a wave of the humanoid's hand, the thousands of colorful balls of light smashed towards the castle under the command of the humanoid, completely enveloping the entire castle.

I saw the summoned person's mouth growing, and I saw the worried expression of the human known as Grandpa.

The castle shook so loudly that only a few snaps were heard, and several naked humans on the ceiling were shaken down. They landed on all fours, and I made a defensive stance. But the human called Grandpa whispered something, and they obediently lay on the ground.

I looked back at the crystal platform.

The colorful light that enveloped the castle slowly dissipated, and a semi-circular transparent shield appeared around the castle.

Then a steady stream of black spheres erupted from the transparent shield, smashing at the floating humanoids in the air.

The humanoid opened his mouth to say something, and then countless black balls drowned him. As the black ball slowly dissipated, an oval-shaped sphere slowly fell from it, and the green of different colors on the green translucent film flowed rapidly, and it seemed that it was the breath of substantial power.

The elliptical sphere fell to the ground and then dissipated. The humanoid gasped for breath with his body half-propped up, and the excitement on his face could be clearly seen in the crystal platform. The humanoid then sat cross-legged on the ground and closed his eyes.

The human, known as Grandpa, breathed a sigh of relief and walked deeper into the basement.

The summoner looked up at me, and I saw the trepidation in his eyes, and then he turned to look at the crystal table. At this moment, many symbols appeared on the crystal platform, and the summoner looked at them intently, I think this must be human words.

Afterward, the naked humans hanging from the ceiling fell one after another, making a simple sound like rags falling to the ground, and they crawled up on all fours on the ground. Although the soul was stirring but there was no movement, I couldn't help but think of the tide of skeleton soldiers who were being controlled by their bodies to move.

The figure of the man known as Grandpa shuttled from the naked humans, and wherever they went, these naked men, who might still be called humans, spontaneously retreated to the side to make a way for him.

When the man known as Grandpa walked up to the crystal platform, the summoner looked at him and then at the crystal platform. I felt a hint of unbearability in the summoner's soul.

Then from the crystal platform, I saw that outside the castle, there was a trace of black ribbon-like material pouring into the humanoid's body, and the humanoid opened his eyes and said something with a long sigh of relief, and walked towards the castle.

He walked to a place not far from the castle and bent down to tap his hand on the ground.

Seeing this, the summoner seemed to suddenly make up his mind, and began to chant something in a loud voice, and as the sound was transmitted, all the naked began to lie on the ground and roll.

Their original human skin began to darken rapidly, becoming thick keratin, their nails fell off, new sharp claws grew, their teeth began to grow and become sharp, and saliva continued to flow from their mouths, dripping onto the floor and emitting puffs of green smoke.

The summoner stretched out his hand, and the creatures, who didn't know what to call them, rushed through a newly opened passage.

After a while, the crystal platform showed that these monsters outside were constantly rushing towards the humanoids who were propped up on the ground with their hands, in fact, the humanoids had changed places at this time. At this time, the summoner suddenly fainted in front of the crystal platform, and the human called Grandpa hurriedly helped him up, and then stared at the image on the crystal platform again.

I felt that the summoner's soul was at peace, but he had passed out.

So I went on to see how these strange creatures fought humanoids, and I thought they were of the same kind.

Apparently the humanoid was not surprised to see this group of strange creatures, because he didn't even move.

When all these strange creatures came to him and began to attack with all parts of their bodies, I think it was probably that the humanoids didn't want to move, but that they couldn't move.

And so it was.

The humanoid held up the green shield for himself, but it could only hinder the corrosive saliva of the strange creatures, and countless claws and teeth made intimate contact with his body. But after only a moment of contact, the sharp claws and teeth turned black, then began to soften, and finally dissolved into a pool of black water.

The humanoid opened his mouth to say something, and around his body, strange creatures that had melted or were still melting, spontaneously piled up into an oval, helping him block all attacks. At this point, the human known as Grandpa looked angry and opened his mouth to shout something, which I guess was human language like curses and curses.

Strange monsters obviously don't have such a thing, they only know how to attack blindly, and they don't hesitate to tear apart the bodies of their companions, maybe those are no longer companions.

After another moment, in the center of the group of creatures, the pile of flesh made by the strange creatures with their bodies suddenly exploded, and countless black juices splashed around, burning small holes on the bodies of the strange creatures, but the strange creatures did not melt into black water like before.

The humanoid had already floated into the sky when the black water splashed, and I saw that there was a black round hole where he was standing that was slowly healing, could it be that he had been trying to make a hole for so long?

I looked at the human known as Grandpa, and he really looked so desperate, I guess this hole is probably important?

Although strange creatures can jump very high, they are not without an upper limit, they cannot jump to the height of humanoid flight, so they can only be used as targets.

Colorful energy fell between the humanoids' gestures, and when they fell to the ground, there were large areas of flames, icicles, tree vines, stones, etc., and later it seemed that green energy was the most harmful to these creatures, so large brown particles fell, and green flowers burst out when they landed on these strange creatures.

Countless vines from the depths beneath the flowers plunged into the bodies of these creatures, and then the flowers grew larger and thicker, and finally every part of the creatures' bodies was stretched open by the vines, unable to move again.

When the attached creature dies, the vines and flowers also turn black and die.

The summoner woke up slowly, he communicated with the man called Grandpa, and then clicked a few times on the crystal table, and the crystal table was temporarily replaced by another picture, I could recognize the top half of the picture as the castle of the dead, and the bottom half was a few thick white lines, two of which had turned black and had no light, while the other several were still white and shining.

I think the hole I saw earlier that had healed was probably one of these two black ones.

The number of strange creatures was slowly dwindling, and the faces of the summoner and the human known as Grandpa began to become agitated. They suddenly looked at me.
