Sam quickened his steps. He wanted to leave the dark corridor as soon as possible and go to a brighter corridor, living room, or kitchen.
However, he felt that he had been walking for a long time, but he still couldn't get out of the darkness.
"Something's wrong." Sam paused and looked at the curtains. It was still the shadow of the tree that was making threatening gestures.
Sam staggered forward and opened the curtain. Immediately, he heard the sound of the mountain bumping against the window and the strange-looking tree.
The tree left a deep impression on him. It was just near the balcony.
He had stepped down from the balcony for a while. This meant that he didn't move at all.
However, Sam could still hear his heartbeat and gasp for breath. This was the aftereffect of his fast pace. What was going on? Sam wondered why he hadn't moved at all despite the intense movement.
"Dead Souls Vision?" Sam couldn't help but blurt out this word.
He read about it in a book in the orphanage a few days ago. It was a special ability of the soul. Although it looked like an illusion, it was actually a kind of wave frequency that directly affected the mind. It led to all kinds of illusion-like abilities.
The most famous ability of the Dead Souls Vision was to make people lose their sense of distance and fall into an endless loop.
It was very similar to Sam's current situation.
"If it's really the Dead Souls Vision, it means that the undead are coming …" Sam's heart was beating fast. He wanted to try again.
The easiest way to test if he was really being blinded was to make a mark and walk forward. If he could return to the mark, he would most likely be blinded.
Little Sam fiercely carved a mark on the wall with his dagger. After that, he took a deep breath and walked forward quickly.
A few minutes later, Sam still didn't walk out of the dark corridor. He saw the mark again.
"It's really the Dead Souls Vision!" Sam's face turned gloomy. "Normal souls can't have this ability. Alda, Sunny, and even Freud haven't learned it yet. It's probably the Dead Souls Vision created by the undead. If it's really the undead, it's probably Mrs. Shila. "
Young Sam couldn't help but recall the creepy laughter he had heard before.
At the time, he had thought that it was the strange wind outside, but now that he thought about it, the abnormality in the corridor was obviously caused by the laughter. Perhaps that laughter was a psychological hint to him.
He still remembered that the laughter was sharp, piercing, and had the distinct characteristics of a woman's voice.
He didn't know what Mrs. Sila's voice was like, but he had an intuition that the strange laughter probably belonged to Mrs. Sila.
If it was really Mrs. Shila, then there was nothing he could do. He did not have any supernatural powers at the moment. He could not even deal with a normal undead, let alone a Special Undead with full HP!
"No, if it's really Mrs. Shila, there's still a way. There are some clues in the Book of the Dead …" Sam clenched his fists in his sleeves. "Even if we can use this method, we have to see her first."
Madam Shila must have set up a Dead Soul Vision to torture him and make him despair. For the time being, she would definitely not show herself.
The only way to face Mrs. Shila was to break the Dead Soul Vision!
Young Sam was a very decisive person. Although he was very scared, he knew that he could only save himself at the moment of life and death. After deciding on the option of saving himself, he would do everything he could to carry it out.
Just like when he discovered that the farmer was secretly observing him and wanted to use him as a living sacrifice, he immediately made a decision.
He was not a hesitant person, and the reality did not allow him to hesitate.
Little Sam tried to calm his beating heart and looked at the dark corridor again.
"According to the book, the Dead Soul Vision can mislead the mind and blind the intuition. Then I won't rely on my intuition and follow the choice of my heart. " Sam closed his eyes and imagined the scene where he killed the farmer. It was the most unforgettable and difficult memory for him to mislead.
He recalled every detail of how he killed the farm owner. His emotions, actions, words, and mentality were all replayed in his mind.
While recalling these details, Young Sam's feet began to move.
His body moved forward unconsciously, but his mind was thinking about another unforgettable thing. This was the method to break the Dead Soul Vision that he had read in the book.
When Sam finished recalling all the details of how he killed the farmer, he opened his eyes.
This time, he found himself standing under a lit wall lamp.
Only one wall lamp was lit in the corridor of the third floor. It was near the staircase!
No matter how he walked, he could not reach the staircase. This time, he saw a wall lamp, which meant that the staircase was next to it!
Young Sam looked forward and saw a dark corner.
"I've escaped!" Young Sam was overjoyed. But before he could feel happy, a chilly wind came from behind, accompanied by a creepy laughter.
Young Sam did not dare to look back. He just ran to the corner of the corridor. He first returned to the hall on the first floor, where the light was the brightest, and then he would make a long-term plan.
The moment Young Sam passed through the corner and went down, he caught a glimpse of the corridor from the corner of his eyes.
A huge shadow occupied the end of the corridor.
He could vaguely make out that the silhouette of this black shadow resembled … a large spider!
…
Angor and Freud were standing on a hill behind the lake and looking into the distance.
Freud was looking at the castle. Angor could sense the chaotic aura of death coming from it.
"Mrs. Shira is here." Freud's tone was firm and his eyes were unreadable.
"Yes. She went to the third floor," Angor replied.
He wasn't looking at the castle at all. Instead, he was looking at the horizon. The rolling black clouds not only covered the entire forest, but also the distant Saint Sem City and the surrounding towns.
The dark weather was a prelude to Madam Shila's arrival, but it was not her doing.
Madam Shila only took advantage of the dark clouds to enter the castle.
However, although the black clouds were not created by Madam Shila, she must have done something to them. The surging death energy fluctuations extended to the end of the black clouds.
The area covered by the dark clouds was filled with Madam Shila's violent, cruel, and chaotic energy.
Madam Shila was using the dark clouds to spread fear and attract undead creatures to Star Lake Castle so that she could turn the place into a ghost realm again.
Freud also noticed the aura of Madam Shila in the dark clouds. He looked at the horizon and whispered, "The vast aura of death means that Madam Shila is very strong."
"It also means she's stupid," Angor added.
Freud nodded in agreement. As the dark clouds spread, Freud saw several light spots rising from Saint Sem City and quickly approaching the mountain range.
Saint Sem City was the most important place for the Silver Heron Royal Family, and they had their own royal wizard group.
The group was weak and messy. Most of them were level-1 and level-2 apprentices, and there was only one level-3 apprentice, Neya. However, they were still supernatural beings. Besides, they had the support of the Tower of Hurricane, which meant they were not weak at all.
They might not be able to kill the undead creatures, but they could at least suppress and drive them away to some extent.
If worse came to worst, they could ask the Tower of Hurricane for help.
This was why Angor said that Madam Shila was not only strong, but also stupid. Without Angor's help, Madam Shila could easily sneak away and achieve her goal. But now, even without Angor's help, Madam Shila would not be able to escape.
While they were talking, Neya, the leader of the Silver Heron Royal Family, had already left Saint Sem City on a flying broom.
Neya's face was a little pale. She slowly looked at the dark clouds above her head and saw the mountain range in the distance.
There must be a powerful undead creature behind the dark clouds that filled them with such a terrifying aura of death. And the source of it was the mountain range in the distance.
"What's that place?" Neya looked at an old male apprentice with white hair and beard behind her.
The old apprentice was wearing a pair of reading glasses with a golden chain, which made him look like an old scholar. He was also sitting on a broom and holding his glasses to look into the distance.
"That's Star Lake Castle, where the lady lives."
The old apprentice did not mention the name, but as a member of the Silver Heron Royal Family, Neya understood.
She did not participate in the internal strife of the royal family, but she knew about the history and felt a little sympathy for the family members who were killed. She would not get involved in the conflicts of mortals no matter how much she sympathized with them.
"Star Lake Castle? Did someone in that family turn into an undead because of their hatred?"
As Neya pondered, a small town in the distance suddenly exploded with a loud bang.
Neya sensed something and quickly flew toward the source of the explosion.
Not long after the sparks erupted, a man wearing the uniform of the Silver Heron Royal Knights appeared at the top of a building and looked at the elegantly dressed chief Magus not far away.
"What's going on?" Neya did not look back. Instead, she looked at the small town.
The previous explosion of sparks had already begun to spread, and several buildings had already been affected. The raging flames instantly engulfed the entire area.
Not only was the fire burning, but Neya could also hear the screams of agony echoing throughout the town.
"Not long ago, many evil things happened in Alai Town. The biggest one was the art gallery that was set on fire. There were a lot of paintings in the gallery and the air was dry, so the fire started in a short time. "The knight half-knelt on the ground and reported.
"Evil things happened at the same time …" Neya narrowed her eyes and muttered.
The old apprentice stood aside and said, "This is caused by the death aura in the black clouds. The death aura contains negative energy. Although it did not directly touch the mortals, the aura alone is enough to arouse the ugly desires in the hearts of some extreme people. "
His desire had been aroused, and the result was this scene before his eyes.
Alai Town was just the beginning. Neya received bad news from other towns in the few minutes she stayed here.
Not only did the surrounding towns have problems, but Saint Sem City was also affected by the black clouds and began to fall into chaos.
However, Saint Sem City was the royal capital after all. It had a large garrison and the Royal Knight Academy. Most of the knights were resolute and loyal. With their protection, the situation in Saint Sem City was much better than the other towns. Even so, if the black clouds continued to surge, they would not be able to hold on for long.
"This undead is too arrogant." The old apprentice said with disgust.
"Undead are not arrogant. It's just their instinct. But even if the undead are instinctive, it's rare for them to make such a big move. Maybe something happened that angered them. "Neya said." Whatever the case, let's head to Star Lake Castle first. "
Neya gestured for the other adepts to help the royal knights. She, on the other hand, quickly approached Star Lake Castle with the senior apprentices.
Soon, Neya saw the abandoned castle hidden in the gloomy forest.
Just looking at the castle from afar, Neya's spiritual sense sensed a trace of danger.
"The undead is in the castle, and … it's very strong," Neya said softly.
The old apprentice nodded and said with a trembling voice, "I can feel its heartbeat even before it gets close. It's definitely not a newly born undead …"
Perhaps it was an undead that had been living for a long time and had mastered all kinds of soul tricks.
Even if the entire Royal Magus Regiment came, they might not be able to kill this undead.
The old apprentice looked at Neya with a trembling voice. "What should we do now?"
Neya's face darkened. "Let's observe the situation first. If it doesn't work out, I'll ask my teacher for help."
Neya's teacher was an Atonement Witch, and she loved her dearly. If she reported the situation here, someone who had accepted the mission would come and take care of it. However, Neya did not want to disturb her teacher if she could.
"Let's go outside the castle." Neya moved her broom in an arc and flew towards Star Lake Castle.
Just as they were about to reach the castle, Neya heard a whisper.
"That's Freud's voice. He's here too?" Neya was surprised. She turned her broom around and flew towards the hill behind the lake.
On the hill, she saw a small wooden house with lights on, and two people standing in front of it.
One of them was her old friend, Freud, and the other was a red-haired, golden-eyed man. Neya did not recognize him. He did not emit any aura and looked like a mortal. However, Neya found it hard to believe that Freud was just an ordinary person when he was standing next to the man in a place filled with death energy.
"Freud, why are you here?" Neya flew to the hill and stood next to Freud. "You told me not to get close to the castle. What do you know?"
