Chapter 1155 - 467: Becoming a Wraith
The hills are eerily silent.Even though it is now broad daylight, under the sunlight, this area still seems to shun the light.
The cold, bone-chilling wind howls here.
The rugged and steep terrain is filled with desolate stones and mud, even the ground gives off a gloomy hue.
Beneath the soil, a variety of exposed bones can be seen, not completely buried in the earth.
The scattered bones, protruding limbs from the ground, together form a sinister landscape.
Under the silver moonlight, Alka and Chadite are walking through this area.
Ring after ring of silvery light spreads underground, expanding outward.
"This place is just like a mass graveyard," Chadite said as he continued walking.
"Our feet are almost treading on all kinds of scattered bones, and not a single one is intact."
Hearing this, Alka, who was walking beside Chadite, looked at the partially exposed white bones beneath their feet.
Perhaps it’s because too much time has passed, the skeletal remains have long since become part of the hill, merged with the earth.
"Not just humans... many demons’ bodies are also here," Chadite continued as he walked.
Upon hearing this, Alka thought for a moment and said, "This should be where the Cloud Sage made their last stand against the demons. It seems there were far more civilians forced here than we imagined.
Those who managed to escape might have been just a small fraction gathered here."
According to what they knew, about ten to twenty thousand civilians managed to escape thanks to the Cloud Sage’s defense back then.
At the time, they thought perhaps there were only twenty or thirty thousand civilians in total, so escaping with the help of the Cloud Sage was already a lot.
But now it seems, the number of residents forced here then was astonishing.
As they walked along, they almost constantly found scattered skeletal remains every few steps, but those scattered bones were nothing compared to the heaps in this area.
This means those who tried to escape were eventually cornered here.
The two of them walked and talked like this.
And around them were all kinds of bizarre and creepy Evil Spirits, encircling them.
Outside the white moonlight.
Their grotesque faces, blood-red eyes constantly staring at the two in the moonlight. As soon as the moonlight vanishes, they would swarm and attempt to tear them to pieces.
However, Alka and Chadite acted as if nothing happened, seemingly unaware of the Evil Spirits, treating them as air, going about their business and chatting.
Among the cluster of Evil Spirits, some seemed different from their companions. Their forms looked less terrifying. From their blood-red eyes, it was obvious they were smarter, as if they were thinking.
Watching Alka and Chadite slowly leaving.
These Evil Spirits departed from their companions, then gathered behind a stone.
"How can there be living people who got in here?"
"I don’t know, there are others outside too."
"And they seem strong. That moonlight makes me too scared to approach."
"What should we do? What should we do?"
"Don’t provoke them; they’ll kill us like they killed those mad ones."
"Yes, yes, Kekla doesn’t want to die."
"Don’t worry, I won’t kill you."
"Really? That’s great, thank you."
"You’re really nice... why are you here!"
A small ghost-like entity suddenly screamed and leaped three meters into the air, staying there.
The other spirits turned only to find Alka, whom they’d seen leaving, squat right beside them, having just chatted with them.
"Don’t be surprised, let’s talk a bit."
Alka watched as the few spirits jumped back a considerable distance, squatted nearby, and waved his hands to show he meant no harm.
Pointing to the stone behind them, "You seem different from your peers; they just want to tear us apart, which is not good.
If I can talk to you, of course, I’d rather communicate with you."
With that, Alka winked, using his eyes that could see through secrets to observe the intelligent Spiritual Bodies before him.
Through such gaze, he could distinguish between these souls and the other external Evil Spirits.
This was why he noticed the issues of these few Evil Spirits during the casual conversation.
"How did you resist the Abyss’s invasion? Your companions were all invaded, becoming true monstrous Evil Spirits."
With that, Alka stood up, dusted himself off, and said with a smile, "Don’t be so wary; you see, you were once humans, and I am human too. Our enemies are the Demons and the invading Abyss, right?
If you won’t deliberately attack us, we surely won’t attack you, right?"
As they talked, a bizarre Evil Spirit drifted in from atop the stone.
Seeing this Evil Spirit, these few intelligent spirits were startled, hurriedly looking at Alka, signaling with their eyes for him to hide quickly.
