As he passed through the moonlight, he felt a bone-chilling chill spreading through his limbs and bones.
It was not a cold that could be felt by the nerves, but a coldness that involved the soul, as if spreading from the depths of his consciousness. When the coldness hit him, Hao Ren realized that he had entered a world dominated by the power of the shadows.
The sense of gravitational confusion was fleeting. Hao Ren felt as if he had somersaulted in the air. One second he was spinning, and the next second he felt his feet on the ground again. The scene in front of him quickly stabilized. He found himself still standing in the courtyard of the castle, but the castle and the sky above him had completely changed.
Everything in sight had faded. Different layers of black and white outlined everything in sight. The whole world seemed to have become a black-and-white photo, monotonous, cold and gloomy. But the castle in the outside world was intact here. Not only was it intact, but it was many times larger than what Hao Ren remembered. The courtyard of the castle had become an astonishingly large square, where still fountains and strange sculptures could be seen everywhere. These things did not exist in the outside world. The four towers of the square had become four towering towers, like four pillars supporting the sky and the earth. The top of the towers supported the cloudy sky, and there was a huge and terrible whirlpool slowly spinning at the point of contact between the tower and the sky. Part of the castle wall extended from the east to the west of the courtyard. The wall had also expanded countless times, becoming like a giant dam. Hundreds of slender Gothic carved windows lined the wall, each window shining with a pale light, as if an endless banquet was being held in the castle.
High up in the sky, the black and white clouds seemed to have frozen solid, covering the entire world.
Hao Ren looked around in surprise at the huge and complex buildings around him. He realized that the huge structure he could see was only a small part of the castle. The collapsed and dilapidated Haron Castle in the real world presented a bizarre state in this shadowy world. Perhaps it was some kind of asymmetric projection that caused it to look like this here.
The witches also emerged from the pool one by one. The last one was Lily, who was screaming with her eyes closed. But the scene in the shadowy world made the husky maiden quiet down. She looked around and then back at the pool from which she came. The pool, which was less than ten meters in diameter, had expanded several times, and there were a lot of dark and twisted sculptures and patterns around the pool. Lily blinked and sighed. "Wow! Is this what the shadowy world looks like?"
"The shadowy world can appear in any shape, depending on the control of the master and the distorted projection of the real world," Hessiana said. "Shadows are always abstract, so they can appear beyond your imagination."
Madam Marie opened her hands and looked at the small black flame dancing in her palms. "The concentration of magic power in this world is unimaginable … I've never captured magic power in the air so easily … This is a paradise for black magic!"
"Restrain your desires, witch," Hessiana warned coldly. "The magic power of this world belongs to Lady Vivian. Even the whole world is an extension of her. You can indulge in it, and I will not stop you. Anyway, you will soon become part of the shadowy world and be digested by Vivian's dream."
Lily blinked and seemed to think of something else. "So this is Vivian's dream?"
"That's right," Hessiana replied casually. "Lady Vivian will transform her 'realm' in her sleep. This realm is detached from the real world and forms a very protective 'shell.' In this' shell, 'Lady Vivian's subconscious dominates and creates everything."
Lily scratched her head. "It seems that she dreams of having such a big house to live in."
Hessiana was speechless.
Hao Ren was speechless.
What the dog said hit the nail on the head! So, the true meaning of this shadowy realm was that if Vivian wanted to live a rich life, she could only dream about it?
The husky maiden's unintentional words caused a long period of awkwardness. After a long while, Hao Ren coughed and came to his senses. "Ahem, we can discuss these things after the incident subsides. Hessiana, where should we go next? "
"Wait, I also need to observe," Hessiana said as she opened her hands. A pair of huge bat wings appeared in the air behind her. Countless phantom-like little bats flew out from the shadows under her bat wings and scattered in all directions. "This is my first time in this place. Lady Vivian doesn't usually like me to disturb her. Most of what I know about this place is my own investigation."
Lily curled her lips. "He's just a theorist."
"But I know a lot of things." Hessiana glared at Lily. "Lady Vivian doesn't like to be disturbed, but she once told me about this shadowy world in a dream. At least, I know where the control center of the Soulless Guard is!"
As she spoke, Little Bat's expression suddenly changed. She looked in a certain direction.
"What's wrong?" Hao Ren asked curiously.
"I saw a shadow node being disturbed. The wizard … the wizard named Bain has come in."
The witches were in an uproar. Wizard Bain was their spy, so any information about him made them nervous. Hao Ren immediately asked, "Can you track him?"
"It's difficult." Hessiana frowned and shook her head. "The wizard's strength is a bit unexpected. He is good at shadowy magic, and he has the key in his hand. He has erased most of his traces and used the environment of this world to hide himself."
"Anyway, he will go to the depths of the seal." Hao Ren looked up at the black and white sky. Some faint shadows appeared behind the solidified clouds. "What are those?"
"The Soulless Guard." Hessiana looked up, and her expression immediately became serious. "The shadowy world has sensed our 'trespass', and the Soulless are gradually waking up. Come with me, let's go to the North Tower immediately. We must first gain control of this world! "
"Ugh …" Lily looked around. "I think the Soulless you mentioned are already here …"
Almost as soon as the husky maiden's voice trailed off, the sound of stones breaking suddenly came from all over the square.
In this square, which was several times larger than the real world, there were ferocious-looking black stone statues everywhere. Most of them had the bodies of humans and the limbs of beasts, and their backs were covered with bone spikes. They had bat-like wings and long tails. Now, these strange stone statues were breaking one by one. After the stones fell, the amorphous smoke-like bodies were revealed. The broken stone fragments tumbled between the smoke-like bodies, forming the extremely strange shapes of these monsters.
"Damn it … The Soulless are in the gargoyle statues …" Hessiana cursed in a low voice. At the same time, she waved her hand, and a blood-red whip appeared in her hand. "Everyone, retreat to the North Tower! Don't get caught up in the fight, the Soulless are endless! "
As she spoke, a 'gargoyle' that had come to life let out a shrill scream and rushed over like a cloud of dust!
A light flashed, and the high-temperature flame of the plasma spear cut the monster of shadow power and stone in half. Hao Ren held the spear in front of the team and pressed the three buttons of the Graviton Grenade in his other hand. "Lily, you take Hasse with you!"
The Graviton Grenade exploded after it was thrown, instantly forming a gravitational collapse with a radius of five meters. The few Gargoyles that were rushing over were instantly captured by this force field that was no less than a small black hole. They screamed miserably as they were sucked into the pitch-black dot at the center of the explosion. This strange power startled the witches and stunned Hessiana. She looked at Hao Ren in disbelief. "What kind of power is this? This is not witchcraft! "
"I have a lot of connections with those guys in Northern Europe," Hao Ren said casually.
Lily lifted her leg and kicked a gargoyle away while carrying Hasse. She shouted unhappily, "This uncle is so troublesome to carry! I don't want to carry him, I want to fight! Mr. Landlord, can't you put him in your Dimensional Pocket first? "
"My Dimensional Pocket is not so sensitive in this place. If something happens to him in there, I won't even know!" Hao Ren said as he threw a very heavy alloy two-handed sword to Lily. "This is for you. It will protect both of you!"
Lily threw Hasse on her other shoulder and caught the sword with her free right hand. She swung the huge two-handed sword a few times like a movie prop. "Okay, it's more like a stick!"
After that, she hit a gargoyle with the 'stick', and the gargoyle was directly smashed into dust.
Hessiana and the witches also took action. All kinds of magic and summoned creatures flew around the battlefield, and it was a chaotic battle!
However, Hao Ren soon saw that it did not take long for the scattered and vaporized gargoyles to reappear in the air. Some of the monsters even split and multiplied after being scattered. There were more and more enemies on the square!
He finally understood what Hessiana meant when she said that the Soulless were endless. The source of these monsters came from Vivian's dream. As long as Vivian did not wake up, these nightmare monsters would never really reduce!
On the contrary, with external stimulation, the nightmare would become more and more intense, and the number of monsters would also increase!
Everyone realized this. Under Hessiana's lead, they began to fight and retreat toward the direction of the north tower of the castle.
