Chapter 161:

Ron's eyes were slightly cold, looking at the strange human body that was still standing in place, still twisting.

After a pause, he put his two-handed sword back into its scabbard, and the fist in his right hand suddenly flickered.

'Whew!!'

A large white storm of air suddenly erupted from his right fist, like a raging hurricane suddenly blasting towards it.

'Whoa——!

Everywhere that was swept by the air currents, it was all a mess.

Large patches of gray-black soil were blown into the air, and the gray-white flowers turned directly into bits of ash, and the surrounding walls shook violently.

Under this air current, the two pieces of human body dissipated as quickly as black smoke that had been blown away.

When the wind gradually subsided, Ron, who was wrapped in fine red threads, walked to the place where the old man was standing just now.

With his eyesight, he could clearly see that there seemed to be a little black mark left on the ground.

Frowning, Ron bent down and gently stroked the trace, then scratched it gently.

A long, bug-like creature was pinched into his hand.

The insect has no head or tail, no limbs, and the whole thing looks like a thin black line.

"Is this the thing?" Ron looked at the weird bug in his hand.

The creature didn't seem to be dead, and its body was still twisting slightly.

A slight rustling sound came from the worm's body, like the whisper of some creature.

And as Kane listened, the whisper became clear.

“... Young humans... Have you... What about seeing my rabbit?"

"Huh!?"

Ron was startled, then his face turned cold, and his two fingers slammed hard.

'Click!'

Pinching the bug, it suddenly split into two.

However, even though it was divided into two parts, the 'rustling' sound on the insect did not disappear together, but became louder and louder

Around the garden, the black smoke that had been blown away slowly rose and then converged.

With Ron's eyesight, he could clearly see that the smoke was all densely packed with black worms.

They are entangled with each other, exuding an eerie and inexplicable aura.

In a few moments, the gentle face of the old man gradually appeared in his field of vision.

“... Young humans... Have you... See my rabbit..."

The old man, who had only one head, continued to repeat what he had just said.

For a moment, the chill in Ron's heart deepened.

"This place..."

Suddenly, his eyes flickered, and with a 'boom' he ran towards the only exit from the garden.

Approaching 19 o'clock, the figure running at full speed let out a piercing scream.

Almost in the blink of an eye, he disappeared into the garden.

。。。。。。

Under the dim sky, there are tall and dilapidated buildings in pitch black.

The buildings stood silently in place like pitch-black giants, wisps of black-brown smoke slowly lingering in them.

There doesn't seem to be a single living thing in the whole building, and everything seems quiet.

And in the midst of this unusually silent city, a scream that pierced the air was accompanied by a vague black shadow.

Behind the black shadow was a huge cloud of smoke and dust.

All the buildings in the area that were swept by the black shadow shook slightly, and there was a faint feeling that they were about to collapse.

An empty pitch-black square.

'Smack!!'

Ron, who had been running, suddenly stopped.

As soon as he stopped, the nearest building shook twice, then let out a wail, and then collapsed.

'Bang ——!!'

Around the fallen building, large clouds of smoke and debris flew out in all directions.

Glancing at the collapse of the building he had caused, Kane then glanced around with a wary expression.

From the moment he entered the city, he felt as if he was in an area full of weirdness.

Although the city was lifeless on the surface, in some invisible dark places, the malice like black tentacles was clearly reflected in his field of vision.

It's just that these malices seem to be because of the blood of the witch on his body, and he doesn't dare to get too close to him.

"The Lost City... An ancient city where legend has it that an ancient god once lived. ”

Muttering softly to some of the information he had previously recorded in some historical documents, Ron looked back at the sculpture in his hand that had been reduced to pieces, and there was a look of complexity in his eyes.

He had already crushed Richard's sculpture just now, but after that, Richard didn't show up as he had promised.

"Is it delayed by something or something else?"

Throwing away the sculpture fragment in his hand, Ron raised his head and looked at the ancient city again in pitch black, with a vague irritability in his heart.

Even though it was because he had absorbed something in that ancient tree before, his current physical fitness had reached an extremely terrifying level.

But that's only for strength, for this weird and inexplicable city, he can't even find an entrance.

"There's too little information... It seems that Richard can't be relied on anymore. Ron looked around thoughtfully. "Since there are so many people attending the 'ball', no matter what, let's find a creature that can communicate first!"
