"The pies in Disi have more filling than those in
After he was full and had drunk his fill, he didn't clean up immediately. He picked up the top hat on the chair beside him and placed it on his head.
At the same time, the glove on his left hand suddenly became transparent, and his entire figure rapidly faded away and disappeared.
Klein entered the Spirit World, intending to "Travel" to Boto Port in the Roaring Sea to find food for "
The Eskoson Port he was in was indeed part of the Disi Bay, but it wasn't located at just any point along the coastline, because it was an island, the southernmost island of the Disi Bay. Crossing it meant entering the Roaring Sea.
So, just a second after Klein started traversing towards the predetermined coordinates, an unusual phenomenon appeared before his eyes:
The nearby Spirit World air currents formed, coiled into a wind, and roared as they enveloped a vast area with no visible end. Within it, the light was dim, storm clouds gathered, and lightning flashes tinged with profound darkness streaked across one after another, illuminating the surroundings like a scene of the apocalypse.
At this moment, Klein felt as if he had arrived in an ocean ruled by an unending storm, yet he truly knew this was the Spirit World.
"Indeed, as mentioned in many mysticism books, the great power released at the fall of Death not only changed the climate and environment of the ocean between the Northern and Southern Continents, filling it with natural disasters, numerous dangerous currents, and earning it the name 'Roaring', but it also broke the barrier between reality and illusion, polluting and corrupting the corresponding Spirit World, causing the two to influence each other... In the Roaring Sea region, holding a ritual involving the Spirit World or using abilities related to the Spirit World will most likely lead to accidents and unexpected changes..." Klein sighed, verifying the records in the books with the scene he witnessed with his own eyes.
In his opinion, if this weren't the case, the countries of the Northern Continent would not have waited until Emperor Roselle explored a safe route before they had the opportunity to invade the Southern Continent. After all, for many high-sequence Beyonders, the natural dangers in the normal concept could be directly bypassed.
The Roselle safe route was not only significant geographically but also mystically!
That meant, since the Roaring Sea and the corresponding Spirit World influenced each other and overlapped, Klein could directly refer to local nautical charts and traverse through the natural disasters in the Spirit World.
Recalling the contents he had browsed before, Klein found the correct location and entered that deep, dark Spirit World.
The howling of the fierce wind came from all directions. Even though it was just the aftermath, it blew a chill deep into Klein's soul or marrow, making him believe that if he were active in a spirit body state and hadn't used the "Black Emperor" card, "Tyrant" card, or Azik's copper whistle to reinforce and elevate himself, he might have already sustained quite serious injuries.
And if he weren't on the "safe route" and had directly faced the black storm full of death, he felt that even with a physical body, he probably wouldn't be able to withstand it.
Compared to the fierce wind, the profound lightning was more dangerous. Just one bolt, Klein suspected he couldn't withstand. As for the hidden vortices and the roaming creatures, those were other risks.
"There is no actual seawater here... I wonder what lies at the end of those vortices..." Klein traversed along the safe route at a moderate pace, occasionally observing his surroundings to accumulate experience.
Suddenly, he saw a strange creature.
It dragged a huge scythe, located within the black storm, composed of one skull after another, bloated and enormous.
Those skulls were gray-white or gray-black, inconsistent in size, and of different races. They were stacked on top of each other, forming a torso, limbs, and a head.
Almost at the same time Klein saw this strange creature, it also noticed Klein. All the skulls turned simultaneously, and amidst cracking sounds that could not be drowned out even by the howling, they all looked over.
The deep eye sockets were one after another, one pressing on another, countless in number.
Klein's forehead twitched. Using his "Traveling" ability, he directly bypassed this place and entered the next section of the safe route.
Beneath the illusory sea surface nearby, bloody arms stretched out one after another, and illusory bluish-black tentacles waved upward.
...
Outside the
At this moment, from all the gaps between the bricks of the mausoleum, clusters of dense black plants grew out, and even the heavy door at the entrance had been eroded.
After watching quietly for a while, Lovia, whose silver-gray hair was curled and draped, said:
"It should be fine."
Compared to the past when she constantly switched between different mental states erratically, this "Shepherd" elder was now deep and calm, without any abnormality. Her pale gray eyes were restrained and profound.
Colin nodded slightly, taking two bottles of potions from two small slots on his belt. He twisted off the lids and gulped them down.
His light blue eyes quickly brightened, and blood vessels surfaced on his wrinkle-free skin, turning silvery white.
