Strangely, the rotting flesh on the corpse's face began to slowly recover. In less than ten seconds, the small area of flesh on the face that was illuminated by the green light had completely recovered to its original appearance. It looked very fresh, as if it had just been injured, and the skin and muscles on the face had become ruddy. There were some holes on the corpse's skin.
The corpse's blue eyes were filled with red veins.
Angele looked at the hole but he could not see anything. The only thing he could see was the blue light from the hall.
Angele's expression changed. He hesitated for a second.
"Master Isabel! Go! "A man's voice shouted anxiously.
"No!"
Suddenly, there was a burst of hurried footsteps. In the pitch-black tunnel, a burst of white light slowly lit up. In the corner not far ahead, a woman in a white robe was holding a stone that emitted white light. She turned her head and ran towards the exit while looking back.
The woman saw Angele at the same time as Angele looked at her.
"Great, Green, it's great to see you again!" Ainphent was excited. He started walking to Angele faster.
"Run!"
Green light was released from his right palm, illuminating the rotten face of the corpse.
"The corpse has been rotting for more than two months. The temperature here is good enough to slow down the decay." Angele had learned the basics of Necromancy from Liliana, so he knew several minor spells that could be used in experiments.
"Endira (Anmag: Backtrack)," he said in a low voice.
Angele stood up and covered his mouth with his hands so that he would not inhale the dust.
However, he still could not see anything behind him.
The green light on Angele's palm slowly disappeared. He stood up.
Isabel looked normal, but her eyes were filled with tears. It seemed like she was scared out of her wits.
Suddenly, he felt that his left palm was burning. It felt like something was being absorbed by the illusion signet on his palm.
Isabel raised her head and looked at Angele. She quickly wiped the tears off her face and stood up.
Suddenly, Angele heard someone talking in the tunnel in front of him.
Angele slashed with his dagger.
He walked to the wooden door again, hesitated for a second, and peeked through the hole.
Angele was the only one in the corridor. The turbid dust was stirred up by the explosion, and the entire air was drowsy.
There was a blue halo in the hall, and it was spacious and bright. However, the densely packed figures from before had also disappeared. It was as if it had never appeared in the first place. Fine dust particles could be seen floating in the air.
The corpse was wearing a white wizard robe with black edges. Judging from the curves of the body, it was a woman. Both of her heads had no eyes. All that was left were four black and red bloody holes. One head against the wall, the other on one side.
Angele had a feeling that something was wrong with the ruin.
Angele recognized the voice. He raised his head and looked at the passage in front of the crossroad.
He raised his hand and saw that the winged black shadow in his palm was actually slowly flapping its wings.
"Can you stand up?" he whispered.
Angele nodded.
Suddenly, an eye appeared on the other side of the door. It belonged to a man. The man was staring at Angele through the hole, just like how Angele was looking at the hall through the hole.
Angele raised his right hand and aimed at the face of the man.
Angele was startled, and he took several steps back.
Angele's expression turned serious, and he made up his mind.
* BOOM *
"Master Isabel, there's nothing behind you." He was confused.
There were three stone doors in the room, and the one on the right was broken. It seemed like someone had broken it, and there was a dark tunnel behind the door. There was a rotting corpse leaning against the wall.
He glanced at the corroding hallway and the hall one last time, then turned around and started running.
"Gray, why are you still here?" Ainphent suddenly turned around and yelled at the empty wall. It felt like his subordinates were there. "Didn't I tell you to leave now?"
Isabel lowered her hand, and Angele saw that Isabel was already in front of Angele, and she fell to the ground.
Just as he turned around, he suddenly sensed that someone was slowly walking towards him from the direction of the wooden door. He could feel that the person was getting closer and closer to him.
Ainphent's eyes turned into two bloody holes. Blood flowed down his cheeks and dripped down his chin.
"Clint!!" She shouted. "Run!"
Angele turned around and looked at the tunnel behind him, but nothing happened. He walked to the stone door on the right after he was sure that it was safe.
He left the tunnel much faster than he entered it.
A man in a white robe was walking in the darkness, and he was about to disappear into the darkness. The man's back looked familiar.
There was a man in blue standing behind him, but Ainphent did not notice it at all. He was walking to Angele happily. The man was following him.
Angele's resistance to strange things had increased after the incident at the Moon Gin Garden.
Previously, he had almost died in a mission because of his greed. This time, he definitely couldn't be reckless.
He walked back to the tunnel, and it seemed like there were no more disturbances. He ran directly from the crossroad to the room with the stone door and the stone stairs that he had just come down from.
"Good!"
Angele heard some noises coming from the end of the tunnel.
Suddenly, he heard a loud noise coming from the other side of the tunnel.
"It's the body of a member of the Two Head Sect."
Angele heard the noise coming from his right hand.
"Everyone, move back!" It was Isabel's voice. "I have this, it can protect us for now … Ah!" Suddenly, someone screamed. It sounded like something was broken.
"Damn this place!" Angele was a bit scared. He turned around, but there was nothing behind him.
A large amount of dark purple mucus covered the entire corridor. The door to the hall was also blown to smithereens by the explosion. Bright blue light immediately shone out from the hall. Dust was blown into the air.
The woman's black hair was messy, and her body was covered with wounds. Her white robe was stained with blood. As she ran, she looked back nervously, but there was nothing behind her.
Angele was a bit surprised. "Master Isabel?"
"I thought they were all illusions?" Angele was indeed surprised. It seemed like everyone knew where he was.
After a loud noise, Angele felt like he was hit by a strong force, and the strong explosive force pushed him back. His legs made a sharp squeaking sound as he slid more than ten meters away. His right foot just happened to touch the wall outside of the corridor before he stopped.
Several minutes later, Angele returned to the other side of the tunnel.
Angele quickly helped her stand up.
There were two heads on the ground, and the flesh on the face and hands were all rotten. A disgusting smell came from the body as Angele walked closer.
It was like this back in his hometown. Back at the Sentinel Wooden Tower, the diamond-shaped crystal had an abnormally sensitive reaction to these things. This was also the reason why he still kept this crystal. As for these strange things, he had yet to come into contact with this aspect. He did not expect to see something like this again. It seemed like it was a common thing in this world.
He wondered how Melissa was doing.
* WOO *
However, he still felt that there was no need to take the risk of entering the hall in front of him. The creepy feeling just now made his heart palpitate involuntarily. It was not a wise decision to enter the hall.
Angele's brow furrowed. Blue light dots flashed in front of his eyes, and he checked if there was any poison in the air. He crouched down after making sure there was no poison in the air.
The firelight was getting brighter and brighter, and Angele realized that something was wrong.
Angele could feel that the diamond-shaped crystal on the back of his hand was heating up again.
"I'm back! I'm back! " She suddenly looked left and right at the scene around her, looking pleasantly surprised. Then, she suddenly started sobbing softly.
"Ainphent!" Angele shouted. He needed to find someone to help him understand the situation. He wanted to see if the others were in the same situation as him.
* CHI *
* CHI *
He stopped hesitating and released the energy heart from his right hand.
It seemed like Ainphent was already trapped in the illusion.
Angele decided that he should start his research on the souls as soon as possible.
A crescent-shaped scimitar appeared on his left elbow. He swung the scimitar backward without turning his body around. The blade sliced through the air and made a crisp noise.
Angele stood in the hallway and did not hear anything else. There was no sound coming from the hall.
Angele was trying his best to hide his presence. He added a layer of defensive metal to his skin and his body turned silver. He took out a black heart from his sleeve and dropped it into his right hand. It was one of the two energy hearts he created with the Heart of Corrosion.
* BAM *
"Gray, go and collect everything. We must continue on our way. Ella, help the wounded. Avery is waiting for us on the other side. We need to leave as soon as possible. "
"Grimm … Don't go … Don't go … Grimm …" The voice was normal at first, but towards the end, it was like a mournful scream, dragging a long cry and ending sound, constantly echoing in the tunnel.
Angele could sense that something was amiss.
"Are you looking for me?" A voice suddenly came from behind.
"We need to leave this place as soon as possible. The curse of the Axis of Time has been released. Wizards like us won't be able to stop it! "She spoke in a hurry." Let's leave this place first. I'll explain everything to you later! "Her voice was still trembling.
He calmed himself down and prepared to leave this damned place according to the map in his mind.
The white-robed figure in front turned around in a somewhat disheveled manner. It was Ainphent.
Angele heard Ainphent's voice from behind as he had the thought in mind. The illusion signet on Angele's palm started vibrating.
White smoke rose from the areas covered by the black and purple mucus. Faint hissing sounds could be heard as the walls and floor began to corrode, leaving dents and holes.
Angele's heart skipped a beat. He took two steps back and did not say anything. Without replying, he turned and jogged away.
"Looks like the people of the Two-Headed Sect stationed here have all died in there." Angele shook his head slightly. "I already killed Kuirman's clone, so it's going to be hard for me to find more clues."
