Chapter 767

~4 min read 717 words

Standing here, one can hear a strange breathing sound.

Yet one does not know where it originates,

The sound does not enter through the ears, but resonates like tinnitus within the mind.

There is no wind, no human speech, no insect chirping,

In this silent world, only this breathing sound remains,

Excessively terrifying.

"Yilodi?"

Feeling the oppression, Su Yu wanted to break this oppressive environment,

He tried calling out softly,

But received no response.

No one was around.

Su Yu did not rashly use Light power for illumination,

He activated the lighting function on his Lord Terminal,

Probing the surroundings.

Rotting corpses, with dark, cold blood flowing out,

Winding in all directions,

Stretching far, as if connecting to the horizon,

As if, connecting to the sky.

The open spaces between the corpses formed paths.

Su Yu sniffed twice lightly.

An illusion?

He did not sense any stench of decay.

No,

If it were merely an illusion, Yilodi would have long seen through the falsehood with her Divine Eyes.

Moreover, if an illusion only disturbs vision, such a method is far too cheap.

Su Yu shook his head, using the light from the Lord Terminal,

And casually chose a path, walking forward.

As he walked, he discovered other paths,

Several shadows were also walking just like him.

But when he looked directly at them, those shadows vanished.

Only in the corner of his peripheral vision could those shadows be seen.

Direct gaze would cause them to hide.

The appearance of the shadows, in this already eerie and terrifying atmosphere,

Added a touch of the supernatural.

A lone individual walking in such a place,

Even with Su Yu's powerful state of mind,

Could not help but feel a trace of fear.

Fear what the hell? I can be reborn after death.

Su Yu comforted himself in a very rogue manner, trying to dispel a bit of the fear.

Trying to stop himself from thinking about all that mess.

According to the prompt voice in his mind just now,

This place is merely a trial ground of the ancient angels.

Since it is a trial, there must be a possibility of passing it.

"Why are you looking at me?"

The panting ceased, turning into a soft question.

The sudden question startled Su Yu.

"Uh..."

With no one around, Su Yu truly did not know how to answer.

"I ask you, why are you looking at me?"

The voice asked a second time.

No,

Who the hell are you,

How have I been looking at you?

Su Yu paused for a moment,

Suddenly, he remembered those shadows,

Whenever he looked over, those shadows would vanish,

He found it quite amusing,

So he kept shaking his head left and right...

Seeing the shadow in the peripheral vision, then looking directly and it vanishes,

Seeing the shadow in the peripheral vision, then looking directly and it vanishes...

This cycle repeated,

only then could it dispel the fear rising in his heart from being alone in such an environment.

【You have been erased by the Shadow and are dead.】

【Returning to the Lord Crystal to respawn...】

【Return failed due to restrictions of the Ancient Rules.】

【Respawned.】

【The effect "Sanctuary" of "Twelve-Winged Holy Protection" triggered; death penalty waived.】

Hearing the prompt in his mind,

Su Yu's gaze faltered for a moment.

He had died, and he had respawned.

Only, the respawn location was not near the Lord Crystal,

but rather, still within this dark hell.

Activating the lighting function on the Lord Terminal,

Su Yu found he had returned to the starting point,

standing once again at the crossroads of paths stretching in all directions.

He casually chose a corpse-strewn path that looked agreeable,

and this time, Su Yu did not look at those shadows again.

Walking alongside them.

Suddenly, a thought occurred to Su Yu.

Having obtained 【Twelve-Winged Holy Protection】 not long ago,

he had nearly forgotten that "Sanctuary" waived the death penalty,

after all, except for venturing out of his territory to explore at the very beginning,

he had never died,

so naturally he had not paid attention to this function.

But now...

"Whoosh!"

"Holy Radiance of Light" bloomed in Su Yu's palm,

and in an instant, swelled outward, eroding the Dark World.

"Light! It is Light!!"

Suddenly, countless cries of shock erupted.
