Chapter 205 - 0205: Black Peak (Seeking monthly tickets)
“Were there no beasts before this? And those people?”
Su Lu began to suspect: “Could it be… Oliver from the Church of Light and Theo from the Federation?”
“Yes, they claimed to be official representatives but refused to provide me protection.”
Dora said resentfully.
“That’s interesting…”
Su Lu couldn’t help but sigh: “However, this is understandable. Their bodies are over there in the sewer system in East District, but their spirits have been drawn into the true Dream of the Ancient God…”
“This… Mr. Knight!”
Dora saw Su Lu deep in thought and couldn’t help but feel hopeful: “I know it’s a difficult request, but we really have no choice. Could you… lead us out of here?”
“I wish to leave as well…”
Su Lu sighed, “Do you know the way out?”
“I do!”
Unexpectedly, Dora really answered:”The exit is on the highest peak… The group from the church was heading that way too! Humph… I was the one who told them… ”
“Huh?”
Su Lu looked up in surprise, heading in the direction she pointed.
In the previously dark sky, a peak had gradually appeared.
“Damn… it doesn’t make sense! Wait, what does ‘science’ mean in the context of the Spirit World? ”
Su Lu paused to think, quickly concluding: “The position of this peak… only exists in our memories, so it can only be seen after it’s ‘revealed’?”
He began to understand.
Because he didn’t know there was such a peak before, he couldn’t see it even if he was at the foothill.
Once someone ‘informed’ him that there ‘is’ a peak, he could see it.
That is the whimsicality of the Dream Spirit World.
“…Sister, why are you pinching me?”
Dora yelled out.
Seeing Su Lu turned to look at her, Angie’s face turned crimson out of embarrassment.
Su Lu didn’t say anything, realizing that this aggressive woman was just on her guard. He said, “You two can follow me… but do you know that Nia City has undergone a terrifying change, and it’s practically impossible to leave…”
He briefly explained what happened in Nia City, and as expected, saw despair on the sisters’ faces.
“In other words… even if we get out, we are still in danger?”
Angie turned pale, “And… Dora’s body…”
“Even if both of you follow me back to the real world, you would be only two spirits…”
Su Lu told the truth: “But I must leave… As for you two, think it over.”
Sometimes reality is directly linked with cruelty and despair.
Even if their spirits return to their own bodies, for Dora, it’s not exactly a good thing.
In such a situation, she was not merely paralyzed or disabled, she might die on the spot!
However, retaining her bizarre state could help keep her alive.
Beyond despair, there is an even deeper despair.
“What happened… to my body?” Dora looked at her sister, still confused.
“No…”
Tears welled up in Angie’s eyes, this strong woman was on the verge of bursting into tears.
“So, have you made up your mind?”
Su Lu looked at that peak, calculating the time when Oliver and his group reached the top, and couldn’t help but feel a sense of urgency.
“We have decided. We want to stay here!”
Angie suddenly looked up and decisively replied: “There might still be a solution here… and things can’t get any worse here, right?”
“Indeed!”
Su Lu nodded, and took out the “Nameless Necromancer Book” after looking at the two sisters.
Although they hadn’t committed suicide, the current situation where their spiritual bodies were wandering in the Spirit World and could not return was quite similar to the state of the undead.
“I have a method here which can be your last resort!”
As an acquaintance, he didn’t mind giving them a hand.
Of course, he didn’t intend to give them the “Nameless Necromancer Book” directly but to provide them with the Necromancer heritage within it.
Maybe, Dora would be a suitable candidate!
Just as he opened the book.
Buzz! Buzz!
A circle of terrifying dark purple light blossomed on the “Nameless Necromancer Book”.
Many mysterious symbols emerged, forming another new and constantly changing emblem.
It was somewhat similar to an Ouroboros, continuously turning itself and emitting a mysterious aura and knowledge.
Continuously devouring, constantly reviving, in a kind of bizarre cycle.
“Is this… undead?”
An infatuated expression appeared on the faces of Angie and Dora as they gazed at the massive symbol, seeming to receive some sort of inheritance.
“Indeed…”
Su Lu watched the scene without closing the book: “The status of the ‘Nameless Necromancer Book’ is high, and the supernatural power displayed in the Dream Spirit World is even more powerful… those symbols and emblems that actively formed, is a clear proof!”
Crack! Crack!
At this moment, something unexpected happened.
Within the Black Forest, several twisted monster trees pulled out their root systems, turning into tree giants, roaring as they reached out for the “Nameless Necromancer Book”.
Not only that, but a large number of character beasts appeared, also roaring and looking in the direction of the book.
“For these beasts, is the ‘Nameless Necromancer Book’ a greater temptation? Or… do they have a higher hatred value?”
Su Lu quickly closed the book. The Spirit Chain flew out, binding the two women as he began to eradicate.
Black Peak.
After parting ways with the Angie sisters, Su Lu set foot on the peak.
Upon reaching here, his inspiration surged, and he was hardly able to pinpoint the real world, finding a path back.
“As expected… the passage back to reality is at the top of the peak!”
Su Lu made his way on horseback.
“Oliver and his group… even if they go back, their bodies are still in Nia City… they might plunge into Nia City as soon as they leave the dream, and it would’ve all been for nothing. But I’m different…”
Actually, this peak was a weak point of the dream. He could activate the Spirit World Traversal and leave here right away.
But the coordinates were not easy to control. Although he would definitely still be in the real world, he didn’t know where he would land.
If he ended up on the edge of the world, in some undiscovered barbaric corners, then he truly would want to die crying.
“The closer you get to the top, the closer to the source, the more accurate the positioning!”
The Nightmare Horse sped on, traversing mountains and ridges as easily as plain roads. Soon, they arrived somewhere near the mountain top.
“Hmm?”
Su Lu caught sight of Oliver’s group.
At this moment, this Bishop looked somewhat haggard, with Theo and others by his side.
Although some of them had extraordinary abilities not on their spiritual bodies and had their combat strength greatly reduced in the Spirit World, they were not to be underestimated as a group.
Seeing this, Su Lu thought it was a bit strange.
Immediately, his eyes landed on the tomb situated at the top of the peak.
It was a tomb made completely of marble slabs or perhaps a temple. Like a structure from Greek mythology, it was made with marble arches, majestic and brilliant.
Around the temple, there were countless beasts.
One by one, the Symbol Soldiers filled the entire space, appearing like a dedicated guard, standing still.
Su Lu took a few more steps forward, and thousands of Symbol Soldiers nearby turned to face him, creating a hair-raising sensation.
