Chapter 129 - 127 (Land of Shadows) (1/2)
”What is this place?.” Alex said
”The place seems to be full of yin aura, dear,” Sistine said
”Oh!?.” Hearing that, Alex didn't hesitate and walk through the other side
...
”Where is this place? water? My body can still move freely, I can only see darkness.” Alex said
”I think it's the abyss, and you should just stop wondering and quickly use your eyes again! Why did you even deactivated it in the first place .” Sistine scolded
”Yes-yes, I just want to experience what it feels like” Alex said and used his eyes again
After he activated his eyes, his eyes pierced, and revealed everything within his line of sight.
”I really am underwater of a swamp. The bouyancy and the water currents doesn't affect me because of my [Five Elements Body]. I can even breathe air here.” Alex said
”Ew* A water got into my mouth and it tastes like shit!.” Alex cursed
Spit* Spit*
”Why does this water taste like shit? Hm? Oh Damn Hell!! The water in this swamp is actually full of poison. Luckily I have poison resistance.
”Gotta leave quickly, My body already smells like shit.”
Alex quickly teleported to the surface.
Alex was currently outside the swamp, he look around and it seems that the trees in swamp didn't die, it was not the same as he expected.
”[Clean], [Dry]” Alex cleaned himself up
”Why did I even got to that shit like swamp, when I was at the other side I didn't saw any god damn swamp.” Alex cursed
”Hmmm... I think the barrier in this place has an illusion.” Sistine said
”Why?” Alex asked, he deactivated his eyes again and walk around.
”When you used your eyes before, when we where still at the other side, what you see was an illusion or rather a description of what is inside this space. Maybe it was warning or to scare someone not to go in this place. But you quickly went inside this place when it's destination was actually a poisonous swamp, and that was a trap.
”Now this is lesson for you not to act rashly because you would have already died if you don't have your poison immunity. You were rash because you are confident that you have your [Extinguishable Pure Yang Body] you are unstoppable in this place. That is really a Big NO!. Remember you need to always think before you act or you are going to suffer grave consequences.” Sistine scolded
”Oh! Sorry. I will learn from my mistakes” Alex apologized
”Good!...but well actually you have also the right to be confident since you have a god's bloodline, you can still escape if you are in the swamp without any poison immunity albeit some difficulty.” Sistine quickly said, she thought Alex got depressed being scolded
”Mhn, I understand. Thanks, I will always be careful from now on lest makes my Queen worry.” Alex said with a smile
”Mhn...glad you understand.” Sistine said with a bit embarrassed voice
”Oh! right! Sistine, I already have the [Soul Creation] skill, let me see my status to see how to use it. We can quickly make a soul for you.” Alex said
”Let's talk about that later. I'm still editing the System...look you already got company.” Sistine said
”Hmmm?.” Alex focused his eyes on the first being he encountered in this place
It was a Dullahan, a headless man with armor, riding a black horse. The horse had a black rotten ball looking in its mouth
”Woah! what a dude! Actually has no head? how the hell does this guy know where I am.” Alex exclaimed.
Alex was still ignorant about the likes of undead. Alex although have seen and killed many monster when he was at the Devil's domain but seeing an undead there was actually rare. He only sees skeletons here and there.
Stomp! Stomp!
The Dullahan got closer, he was neither fast or slow.
Alex didn't move and just look and waited for the Dullahan getting closer, as he didn't feel any intent from the Dullahan.
”Why is there a Human here?, it has been centuries.” The dullhan said with a strange voice
”Oh Hell! Mother! It can actually talk?. Where is the mouth! And the funny thing is I can understand it.” Alex got surprised and shouted
