Did I not write it clearly enough? In the last chapter, it was the red robe who drew the cross in the sky. Well, let's make it more clear.
It's almost the end of the month. Do you have a new monthly ticket? Shamelessly, please ~
… … …
In the World of Souls, Lucien stopped thinking and planned to find a room in this extremely monotonous and quiet Dry Vine Castle. He would not go out to meet Leo until the hunting of Count Werther, Carleena, and Ivanovszki was over.
According to Lucien's estimation, it would take him about three to four days, and the date he agreed to meet Leo was a week later. There was plenty of time for him to control the abnormal growth of his spiritual power.
Lucien was glad that it was the projection of Dry Vine Castle, and Mr. Rhein was here. Otherwise, according to Maskelyne, the World of Souls was full of undead creatures, and the deeper I went, the more dangerous it would be …
Lucien felt lucky that he did not run into any undead creatures. He was not a battle maniac, and he preferred to enjoy his life in peace. Also, he knew that with his current power, he could barely compete with those famous undead creatures, such as ghosts, ghosts, mummies, and the Death Knight. Therefore, he would rather not run into any undead creatures if he could avoid them. Who knew if they would summon a bunch of them?
When Lucien was about to step on the gloomy stairs, the whole Dry Vine Castle suddenly shook like a fishing boat in the middle of a storm.
Then, the castle was torn apart into countless shadows that slid away and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The whole process was much faster than Lucien could react. He did not even have the time to activate the last Superior Fire Shield.
Lucien, who was suddenly exposed in the desolate wilderness, sensed the decaying air of the World of Souls and thought to himself in confusion, "What's going on?"
When the white tear mark on his left hand appeared, Lucien immediately felt that he was surrounded by a refreshing breeze, which greatly recovered his spiritual power and Blessing Power that had been suppressed by the creepy and monotonous environment of the World of Souls. It was like a refreshing breeze on a hot summer day.
"The little girl's blessing is really good in this environment." Lucien thought to himself delightedly. He looked around and realized that it was a black, white, and gray area similar to the mines to the west of Ural City. Therefore, he said to himself in confusion, "This is the normal reflection of the main material world …"
According to Lucien's understanding, although the World of Souls was a messy reflection of the main material world, and a building was often reflected from the west of the city to the north of the city, there seemed to be a limit to the range of the reflection. It was probably limited to a city or a town. Therefore, Lucien had always been confused about the fact that he reached the projection of the Dry Vine Castle in Ural after entering the World of Souls from the mine. "Isn't it too confusing?"
Now that the Dry Vine Castle slid away on its own, Lucien finally realized something. "For some reason, Mr. Rhein moved the Dry Vine Castle together with the projection. When he disappeared, the castle quickly returned to its original position under the repulsive force of the World of Souls."
"But this is not bad. The traces left by Ivanovszki in the Dry Vine Castle will disappear for real. I don't need to worry about being discovered … Oh no!"
Lucien was suddenly enlightened. He immediately rushed to the gap of the World of Souls not far away.
Now that Ivanovszki knew about the World of Souls and the gap leading to the World of Souls, what about his accomplices? For example, did the senior-rank sorcerer, Nikonov, know? If Nikonov knew, he would probably choose to hide in the World of Souls as well. However, when he reached the bottom of the mine, the traces left by the fight between Lucien and Ivanovszki would tell him that an enemy had been here! The secret of the World of Souls might have been exposed!
For Nikonov, Ivanovszki's accomplices, and the big shots behind Ivanovszki, the exposure of this secret would be more serious than the destruction of Count Viktor's plan. They would never let go of anyone who might know the secret of the World of Souls. Lucien would be hunted down crazily. Both Rhein's words and Lucien's own understanding pointed to this point.
If Nikonov or other people found out that Lucien was hiding in the World of Souls, they would definitely search around carefully and set up traps at the exit. In that case, Lucien would either be in a more dangerous situation than the Dry Vine Castle, or he would have to hide in other places in the World of Souls and find another exit. However, in this way, he would probably encounter powerful senior-rank undead creatures!
"I have to deal with the traces at the bottom of the mine before other people come here! Then I have to find another place to hide. "
Before entering the crack, Lucien carefully sensed the environment outside through Sun's Corona. After making sure that no one was around, he activated Powerful Fire Shield for the last time today and returned to the bottom of the mine through the thick gloomy "curtain".
Since there was no wind, the dark yellow-green "highly toxic fog" had not completely dissipated yet. It was still corroding the rocks and killing the insects and rats.
Lucien, whose soul had been strengthened a lot, activated Dispelling Fog more easily, and the casting time was a bit shorter than before.
After casting Dispelling Fog again and again, Gaston's Highly Toxic Fog finally disappeared. Lucien started to deal with the remains of the rats and insects, the walls corroded by the fog, and all the traces of the fight in an orderly manner.
Although Lucien knew that Ivanovszki's companions would come at any time, he was still very calm. He did not panic, and it only took him less than ten minutes to clean up all the traces with the help of several special spells. As long as Ivanovszki did not check carefully, it would be very hard for him to notice anything. The more time passed, the less likely Ivanovszki would be to notice anything. In the end, if Ivanovszki did not know what was going on, he or she would not be able to see anything clearly.
After doing all this, Lucien checked everything again carefully. Then he cast Invisibility and was ready to leave.
After a few steps, Nikonov suddenly appeared on the path leading to the bottom of the mine. Lucien was shocked, "He's really here!"
Maybe it was because Nikonov believed that there was no one else at the bottom of the mine, or maybe it was because he was very confident in his own power, Nikonov did not try to hide his power at all, which made Lucien notice him in advance. At the same time, since Lucien had already concealed his power and was quite far away, Nikonov did not notice him in time.
"Where should I hide?" Lucien quickly looked around and withdrew his spiritual power, in case Nikonov sensed his presence. "I can't rely on invisibility, remote corners and controlling my emotions like I did when I was hiding from Ivanovszki. Nikonov is a senior-rank sorcerer!"
The spiritual power of senior-rank sorcerers was almost tangible. They could clearly sense every creature within a small range. However, in such a narrow mine, Lucien could only use Advanced Invisibility, the fourth-circle spell, to hide from Nikonov.
After looking around and making sure that there was no other way to escape, Lucien entered the World of Souls again without any hesitation.
… …
Black, white, and grey remained unchanged. The bushes were frozen on the ground without moving at all. Lucien rushed to the plain down below, leaving a faint blurred shadow behind him, because it was the place where he was most likely to run into the undead creatures.
This time, Lucien did not hide from the spectres. Instead, he went to look for them. At the same time, the crystal ball flew up, and the Maquiline's Star flew around. The spectres collided with each other and disappeared together, which made Lucien a bit luckier.
Lucien, who never believed in the arrangement of fate, tried his best. He would never bend his knees and submit to the so-called fate! Even if he had to die, he would not regret it!
In the chaotic World of Souls, the mountain was not very high. Soon, Lucien arrived at the plain. He saw groups of ghouls. Their rotten skin and muscles, and their eyeballs that were about to fall out, were so "cute".
If he could not find them, Lucien would have to hide in a place with many rocks nearby!
The ghouls sensed the scent of living creatures and became restless. They were about to lunge at Lucien crazily.
At this time, Lucien chanted a soundless incantation, and his aura immediately changed. A dense aura of death and decay suddenly surrounded him, and at the same time, his body also began to change. Lumps of rotten flesh appeared, and soon, he became a decaying ghoul.
The second-circle spell, Shapeshifting Undead, which was unique to the Congress of Magic!
It was a brand-new spell that combined the two ancient spells, Immortal Cover and Shapeshifting Undead. The two spells had their own features. One was the power of death, and the other was the appearance of an undead creature.
The ghouls, who did not have much intelligence, all stopped and looked around in confusion. Finally, they accepted the fact that they had one more "companion".
The ghoul leader howled silently and asked Lucien to join the line.
Soon after he joined the wandering ghouls, Lucien saw a figure flying in the gray sky. The figure was wearing a black robe of the Magic Empire. It was Nikonov.
Nikonov was not interested in the ghouls that could be found everywhere in the World of Souls. He did not even look at them, not to mention carefully scanning those "idiots" with his spiritual power.
After Nikonov left, Lucien finally let out a long sigh of relief. It seemed that Nikonov did not think that there would be any outsiders at the bottom of the mine. After all, it was a place cursed by demons. So, he just checked it with his spiritual power and came in.
Lucien's assumption was based on the fact that if Nikonov found anything wrong, he would definitely search the World of Souls around the gap carefully instead of flying over it so easily.
To be safe, Lucien continued to wander with the ghouls. At this time, another figure flew from the sky from another direction. The figure was wearing a loose black robe with countless complicated and gorgeous patterns on it. The air of death was completely released!
The figure also ignored the ghouls and ghouls below and quickly flew through this place.
It seems to be flying in the direction where Nikonov went … Is it a high-level intelligent undead creature? Lucien thought in confusion.
After a while, 'ghoul' Lucien began to feel bored. He planned to take the opportunity to leave through the gap and hide somewhere else. However, at this time, another figure flew from the gap.
"What?!" Lucien watched the figure disappear in the sky where Nikonov disappeared in shock. His heart was in turmoil, because the figure was wearing a red robe!
Although it was completely black in the World of Souls, it was undoubtedly the appearance of a red robe! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
