His vision turned dark … and then he saw a beautiful scene!
Red, white, yellow, blue … a large number of colorful flowers bloomed, forming a beautiful flower bush. Numerous gray butterflies danced among them. Lush green leaves sprouted from vines everywhere, making the flowers seem even more beautiful.
Clear water poured out from a long crack on the right side of the wall. The water formed a small waterfall, which then transformed into a small stream that flowed through the entire area.
A gigantic red-leafed tree stood in the center of the area. It seemed to be the same type of tree as the one he saw earlier, except that it was taller and had some black fruits.
"So beautiful …" Hoshi couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. Then, he heard someone singing.
He looked in the direction of the voice and carefully walked past the flowers. He approached the large tree and saw the golden-haired girl sitting on a branch as expected. She was singing a mysterious and ethereal song just like before.
Hoshi quietly admired the scene for a while.
There was no mist, no spiritual monsters … this seemed like a safe place.
After a long while without seeing any spiritual monsters, he was confident that this beautiful place was safe.
"Thank you for bringing me here." Hoshi thanked the girl on the tree.
He then walked to the base of the tree and sat down against the trunk. He placed his shield next to his hand, relaxed his body, and heaved a sigh of relief.
He had been fighting and running around by himself for so long, and he didn't dare to relax … Now, he could finally relax and rest.
His originally tense nerves finally relaxed, and the accumulated fatigue in his body instantly washed over him like a tidal wave. The melodious song echoed in his ears, and he gradually felt sleepy.
'I shouldn't be sleeping, but …'
Unable to resist his sleepiness, Hoshi slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep under the tree. Hoshi's handsome face seemed quite peaceful.
…
After traveling for more than two hours, Seiji stopped paying attention to the time.
The locator mark was still clearly present, which meant that Hoshi was still alive.
After traveling for so long, even he felt fatigued. Yet, his junior, who was entering an Inner World for the first time by himself, not only had managed to survive, he was even in excellent condition. How … amazing!
Seiji never expected that Hoshi would have such an amazing performance. He felt like he had underestimated the fourth knight.
As long as an Awakened could survive here, they would rapidly grow stronger. Tomohisa and Mika were perfect examples of this.
After fighting for so long, they had absorbed a large amount of mist. Not only did their strength increase, they even learned new abilities.
Peng!
Tomohisa kicked the approaching Black Wolf away with his right leg, which was wrapped in electricity.
Now, he no longer needed to use his hands to exert force. His feet could directly generate lightning, and he could exert great leg strength to leap and dodge, or engage in close combat. The downside was that if it was used continuously, the legs would become numb or even painful, requiring rest or treatment to relieve the pain.
Obviously, the main purpose of this skill was to increase the player's mobility. However, Tomohisa also liked the feeling of kicking monsters away. He would do it from time to time.
Xiu!
Mika shot out a black ribbon from Mashiro's Clothes, which accurately pierced through the black wolf that was kicked into the air. The black wolf transformed into mist, which Mika absorbed and then shrank back.
She could now control Mashiro's Clothes to shoot out black ribbons that were up to twenty meters long and up to six meters long to attack monsters. Her accuracy was far higher than shooting with a handgun, and her energy consumption was much lower as well. The downside was that its damage was limited, and it was possible for it to be interrupted by a big monster, causing a lot of damage.
Although it seemed a little subtle, if this skill was upgraded a few times, it might become a very powerful tentacle attack.
The two of them continued to grow stronger, but their fatigue was also accumulating.
Fortunately, there were three of them, so they could take turns fighting and resting.
Seiji didn't know how much longer they would need to find Hoshi.
After the Domain's transformation … not only did the Inner World have more paths, it also had a larger area.
On their way here, the three of them even went to an area that was as wide as several soccer fields combined! Hordes of monsters appeared from that area like a tidal wave that charged at them …
At that time, Seiji and the others had passed through at the fastest speed possible and left the massive hordes of monsters behind.
If they fought to the end in that area, what type of boss monster would appear? Tomohisa brought up this question later.
Seiji felt that the lowest level would be a Tyrannosaurus Rex. As for the highest level, he didn't know. Perhaps there would be a giant dragon or a gigantic hybrid beast like a chimera.
The three of them used their imaginations on this topic to alleviate the tense atmosphere.
Seiji really wanted to find Hoshi as soon as possible. He was also worried about Little Shi and Kazuko. However, he needed to remain calm.
If something irreparable happened, he would load … and before that, he needed to trust in his companions! Seiji thought to himself.
They entered yet another hallway.
Seiji continued forward while killing off the monsters that appeared. Suddenly, he heard faint sounds in front of him!
Seiji was delighted at first, but then he immediately felt that something was wrong.
Bang bang bang bang … this sort of continuous gunshot that sounded like an assault rifle being fired was unfamiliar to him.
Out of the three of them that got separated, Little Shi was the only one with a gun. Even if she used it, the sound of gunshots definitely wouldn't be like this.
"Did you guys hear that?" Seiji looked towards Mika and Tomohisa.
Both of them nodded.
"This isn't a sound that Hoshi and the others would make. It's highly likely that it's someone else." Seiji had a serious expression.
"What should we do?" Tomohisa used his shield to block a black wolf that pounced at him and then kicked it away with his electric leg.
Seiji pulled down his helmet and completely covered his face. "You guys stay here. I'm going over to take a look."
"Be careful," Mika said in concern as he used his black belt to skewer two black wolves.
"I will."
Seiji cast a concealment spell on himself, making his presence incredibly low. It was as if he was wearing a camouflage cloak.
He cautiously headed in the direction of the sound, or rather, stealthily headed over to investigate the situation.
Seiji saw five people!
All five of them were male. Apart from one wearing a spiritual combat uniform, the other four were all wearing ordinary clothing.
The one wearing the combat uniform was obviously a Spiritual Ability user. He wore a helmet and held a spiritual gun that resembled an assault rifle. He also wore a short sword on his right thigh.
The four people wearing ordinary clothing were all Awakened. Three of them were holding different blood-red weapons!
A brown-haired man wearing a jacket carried a greatsword on his shoulder.
A green-haired young man wearing a sports uniform held a long spear.
A gloomy young man in a hoodie held two daggers in his hands.
These three people were currently working together to deal with a large dragon monster. Two of them were warriors, while the other was an assassin. Their teamwork was quite average.
The Awakened who didn't carry any weapons — the gray-haired boy wearing a shirt was holding a tablet computer … no, it was something that looked like a tablet computer. Every few seconds, it would emit a red ring of light.
A Spiritual Ability user stood next to this boy. It seemed like he was either a guard or a monitor.
Seiji silently observed them.
Just as he was evaluating the power levels of the three Awakened fighting on the battlefield, the gray-haired boy suddenly looked in his direction!
Had he been discovered?
Seiji furrowed his eyebrows. Even if he retreated immediately, it would be too late. He could only remain still and pretend that he was a rock.
