Chapter 118: The Unknown Land

In the mist, Barn began to walk back and forth, and he found that this unknown creature was everywhere in the mist.

It's not just a part of the gathering around him!

Because even if he burst out with all his speed, he couldn't shake off those things, and according to his observations, the speed of the other party was not fast.

It's completely impossible to catch up with yourself!

And after running a distance so fast, there are still these things around him.

It's just that if he stays in a certain place for a while, there will be a lot more monsters in that place.

It was clear that something had been drawing the other party closer to him.

With continuous observation and experimentation, he finally discovered what the existence of the other party feared.

"Stygian Blade"

That's right, it's his Stygian Flame Knife, and to be precise, the flames that appear on the Stygian Blade.

Therefore, Barn also deduced that the other party should belong to the category of ghosts, and more likely the ghosts themselves.

Because only a spirit creature like this that directly exposes its soul would be so naturally afraid of the flames of the underworld.

Even if the Flame Blade was a projection of the Flame of the Underworld, the fear that came from the depths of the soul would make them shy away.

As for why humans feel like this, the flames on the Stygian Flame Knife are not so terrifying, and they can only be detected when they are hurt.

That's because the souls of most creatures are wrapped in the mortal womb of the flesh, which makes the soul perception that is not strong in itself even lower, which makes ordinary people not perceive the special features of the Stygian Flame Knife at all.

If you were to replace it with a strong person like Odin or the Ancient One, they would definitely be able to see at a glance that the flames on the Stygian Flame Knife were not simple.

After all, if they can reach their level of strength, their souls will definitely become stronger in the same way, so they can see the difference.

And here these "souls" all appear in the state of spirits, without the barrier of the physical body, they can naturally clearly feel how much of a threat the Immortal Flame Knife is to themselves.

But they can also feel that this is not really the thing they are afraid of, so they refuse to leave.

If it were a real Flame, these guys would run as far as their minds could estimate!

You must know that this is the land of the dead, and no one who is alive has ever arrived here in the minds of these ghosts.

And now, Barn's arrival has broken the law, and his strong body and active blood are like the most delicious tonic in the world, attracting the prying eyes of the dead.

In their eyes, Barn's soul is like a fresh fruit still growing on a fruit tree, and one can imagine how allure it is in this country where there is only decay.

However, it has been hindered by the deterrence of the Stygian Blade, otherwise they would have been swarmed by the time Barn arrived.

But as I said before, it is only a matter of time before they attack, and they are clearly gathering "manpower".

The "whine" that had been ringing around Barn's ears may not have been the sound of fear and fear, as he had previously thought.

After finally figuring out what was going on, Barn felt that the sound was more like a "wolf howl", a signal to summon his companions.

Judging from what we know so far, things are a bit of a problem!

In this situation where it is not clear whether you can get out for the time being, it is also unclear how many ghosts there are?

Now, even if you start changing positions to keep the other party from gathering, it's really a solution!

But this is not a long-term solution, even if Bath's current physical fitness will always have a time of fatigue and a time of exhaustion.

I'm afraid that if he runs to the point of exhaustion and can't leave the other party's enveloping range, then the one who awaits him in the end will die without the power to resist.

I don't know why, but Bath just feels that way, maybe all the places here are the same as here!

I don't know where this feeling came from, maybe it's the so-called sixth sense, but he still believes in it.

Therefore, he did not try this method easily.

He can't think of any other solution for the others, and it seems that there can only be a life-and-death situation between them.

With all this figured out, Barn immediately conducted an experiment to see if his attacks had any effect on these ghosts.

In an instant, Barn, who had been standing in place, suddenly burst out, and the Stygian Flame Knife in his hand slashed through the fog not far in front of him.

The ghost that was originally in it from time to time did not react at all, and was directly cut into nothingness by this sudden attack.

Seeing that the attack was effective, Barn was relieved a lot!

After all, this is the first time that he has faced such an unknown thing, and he has no experience at all, if his attack does not work, and he does not try......

Then it will be a little embarrassing when the other side launches a general attack!

But fortunately, there is no endless road, and Celia is still on his side!

Now that the decision has been made, Barn is not doing anything else, but directly finds a place to sit cross-legged.

Quietly began to adjust his state, so that he could have a better chance of winning in the upcoming battle.

So, in this unknown world, such a scene appeared.

A teenager sat cross-legged in the mist, a blood-red knife burning flat on his lap.

From time to time, there are illusory shadows floating in the surrounding fog, which is very weird!

The sound of a baby's cry never stopped, the fog in the distance rolled, and the heavy ghosts quickly gathered in this direction.

The fog kept churning as they moved, and they weren't translucent bodies that appeared, like rolling waves on the beach, except that the sea was called the Styx!

Barn was lying when he said he wasn't nervous at all, but he knew that no matter how nervous or scared he was, it wouldn't help in this situation.

Even if you kneel down and beg for mercy, will those spirits who have no reason and only instinct stop there?

Obviously not, on the contrary, they will devour you more quickly without resistance.

Barn can only force down the unrealistic and useless thoughts in his heart now, and strive to recover his previous consumption, just waiting for the final battle to come.

Waiting for that balance to be broken!

Waiting for the collapse of the tipping point!
