Just as Seiji was about to respond, the two disappeared again.
Just what exactly was this projection … no, if it could affect them, then it wouldn't be a simple "projection" anymore.
Just what exactly was happening?
Little Shi, Tomohisa, and Kazuko couldn't even see it. I was the only one who could see it.
Not only could I see it, it seemed like I could even affect it.
Was this some sort of otherworld interference? Or was it synchronized?
…
That "ghost" disappeared again.
Lana wanted to talk to him, but it seemed impossible.
"What do you think it was?" Rhode asked.
"I don't know, but it probably wasn't a ghost. That's because it didn't seem to have an aura of death, and the power he used to help us didn't seem to be some sort of negative energy, "Lana answered.
Rhode thought back to what had just happened. He had been prepared to die against a high-level magical beast, but a strange golden phantom suddenly appeared out of nowhere and hit that huge wolf, severely injuring it.
He wasn't able to clearly see what that phantom looked like. He only got a general impression that it was a strange creature similar to a large snake.
"Do you want him to help us leave this place?"
"It would be best if I could. Even if I can't, I want to know just who he is and what sort of existence he is! "Something flashed in Lana's eyes.
"As expected of a student of the Haletdam Academy."
"Of course, the desire to investigate secrets is something that all students of the Haletdam Academy must have!"
"Basically, it's curiosity. As an adventurer, I can't be too curious, because the unknown is equal to danger. Too much investigation will usually result in death … that's how I was taught. "
"What a negative teaching. As an adventurer, shouldn't we be brave enough to take risks and discover unknown treasures? "
"Treasures are a different story. But even if it's a treasure, we still need to weigh the risks. When the danger is too great, any treasure will be nothing more than bait for the Grim Reaper. "Rhode paused for a moment." An adventurer is only an adventurer if he's alive. Otherwise, he's just a dead person. "
"That makes sense, but …" Lana wanted to say something, but didn't say it. She simply smiled.
"Let's continue, Rhode." She started walking.
Rhode also started walking. Behind Lana, he secretly glanced at his own wrist and saw that some dark green runes had appeared on it.
The reason why the Forbidden Regions were called Forbidden Regions was not only because of the large number of Magical Beasts, but also because of the 'Green Poison'!
He didn't dare to think about how much time he had left.
The reason why he could come to his senses so quickly just now was because he wanted to play the hero at the end.
It was highly unlikely that he would be able to make it out alive. Still, he wanted Lana to be able to go as far as possible. That was the last bit of determination he had as a man.
Using the gauntlet to cover the dark green lines, Rhode silently moved forward.
…
During the process of clearing the second area, Seiji did not see Rod and Lana again.
Not even in the third region.
As he absorbed the mist, Tomohisa's strength increased. He became more proficient in using his abilities and comprehended new skills.
Boom!!
The black ball of light exploded on the huge bear monster's body, forming countless arcs of electricity that swam around its huge body, like lightning chains restraining its movements.
Seiji raised his long White Lotus Spiritual Saber, while Little Shi raised her huge Ice Blade. Both of them slashed down at the same time! The Crisscrossed Cross Slash dealt heavy damage to the Bear Monster.
"Ow ow ow ow ow ow —"
The big black bear let out a mournful roar and turned into mist.
Tomohisa stepped forward to absorb the energy, a joyful expression on his face.
"Looks like you're feeling great," Seiji said.
"Yes, the more I absorb, the better I feel. I really feel like I'm getting stronger." Tomohisa pushed up his glasses. "This feeling may be addictive or addictive."
"… Is there no problem?"
"It's okay for now. If I feel like I'm not right, I'll tell you. If you see anything wrong with me, you can stop me immediately, "Tomohisa said seriously.
Seiji nodded solemnly.
After resting for a while, the three of them went to the next area.
When he entered the fourth zone, Seiji's vision instantly darkened, his consciousness blurred, and he felt his body falling …
BOOM!!
Rhode blocked the spear with his shield and counterattacked with his sword.
The spear-wielding man dodged and raised his spear to stab forward!
Rode blocked again. He cleverly twisted his shield to parry the spear and stabbed with his sword!
Screech!
The man narrowly dodged the sword. The sword grazed his side, causing a light injury, but no blood splattered.
Both sides fought fiercely. Their figures intertwined, sounds burst out, and dust filled the air.
Rode had already released his battle energy. His body was surrounded by a red aura, and his strength had greatly increased.
But the spear-wielding man was even stronger! His body was surrounded by an even denser red aura, but it was also mixed with some ominous black aura.
"Tim …" Rode felt bitter in his heart.
It was originally a good thing to see a lost friend.
But this friend had been corroded by the green poison and lost his mind!
Strange dark green lines appeared on his face. His face was twisted, saliva flowed out, and his eyes were bloodshot … This was a sign that the green poison had reached his brain.
A person who had been corroded to this extent was hopeless.
In a normal battle, Rode was not Tim's opponent, but after fighting with the crazy latter for a while, he thought of a way to win.
But in his mind, he kept thinking about the time he spent with Tim.
Logically, he knew that it was useless to think about it. Tim was finished! Although he was still alive, he was as good as dead.
But emotionally, it was difficult for Rode to do it.
His experience as an adventurer was still shallow, and he had never experienced such a cruel scene before.
He had once laughed together, fought together, and dreamed about the future together … How could he possibly kill someone like that with his own hands!?
While he was conflicted, he saw the collapsed girl out of the corner of his eye and instantly came to his senses.
Lana had just been ambushed by Tim and was sent flying by his spear. She had crashed into a wall and fainted. She needed help!
Just what was he hesitating for!? Wasting the time of a friend who was still alive for the sake of a friend who could no longer be saved … How foolish!!
Rode finally made up his mind.
"Tim … You should go first. I'll catch up soon and apologize to you."
He made his preparations and then feinted to lure the spear-wielding man to stab his chest.
If Tim still had any sense left in him, he definitely wouldn't be fooled by such a clumsy trick.
But the spear-wielding man had already gone crazy. He saw an obvious opening and stabbed at full force!!
It was over.
Rode didn't use his shield to block this spear. Instead, he accurately dodged the spear-head and activated his battle energy, moving at high speed …
* Shing!! *
The longsword pierced through the spear-wielding man's neck, causing thick green blood to spurt out.
"Arghhhh!!!"
The swordsman roared in a low voice as he swung his sword and cut off his former friend's head.
The man's head fell to the ground along with the boy's tears.
Rode only turned around and hurried over to Lana after seeing the headless body fall over.
