chapter 25:19. sorrow of the soul

translator: 549690339

looking at the soul-binding stone tomb control panel again, noland lee had only one thought in his mind.

and that was to get the hell out of there!

otherwise, his life would be in serious danger.

an instant ‘death pulse’ was no joke.

perhaps it was because corporal mars had heard his cry for help, or maybe because mars had finished scouting.

either way, one moment noland was worried for his situation, and the next, he heard mars calling out to him.

“jarvis! jarvis! hurry back!”

without hesitation, noland turned around and fled.

his movement seemed to have provoked a violent reaction, much like cold water splashing into boiling oil.

a wailing cold wind swept through the tomb, stirring up the poisonous fog, causing it to roil violently.

noland was staggered by the gusty wind coming from behind him and he nearly lost his balance and fell to the ground.

just as he was steadying himself, he immediately felt a profound sense of sorrow emanating from the cold wind.

faint sounds of agony echoed in his ears, piercing his shell and pricking his heart, triggering his heartbreaking past experiences and painful memories.

a hatred towards the bitterly cruel fate and the injustices of the world quickly filled his heart.

the ‘capture soul’ skill of the soul-binding stone tomb had activated!

this eerie death-related structure was trying to snatch noland’s soul!

countless memory fragments flashed in front of noland like a carousel, making him dizzy and absent-minded.

if the original master was here, he would surely be overwhelmed by these vivid memories and become incapacitated, eventually having his soul absorbed by the soul-binding stone tomb.

but noland was not the original master.

he was a traveler who was naturally detached from the original master’s past experiences.

the original master’s sadness or happiness were nothing more than idle reading material for noland rather than his own feelings.

therefore, it only took him two seconds to recover from the trance.

“heh! trying to shake my soul by using the original master’s memories. your actions are as ridiculous as using a sword from the previous dynasty to behead an official of this dynasty!”

noland ridiculed in his heart, harboring a few more fears towards the unpredictable death-related spells.

without stopping, he raced towards the metal gate.

suddenly, there was a bright ‘flash’.

while being astounded, noland looked back over his shoulder.

he saw numerous semi-transparent human figures staring blankly at him with blood -thirsty and menacing looks, full of malicious intent to tear him apart.

the ‘light’ that illuminated tomb level two, was coming from these semi-transparent figures and was emitted by the sad, aggrieved souls within them.

noland narrowed his eyes, catching on to the situation.

using his abundant game experience, he identified the origin of these semi-transparent figures.

they should be the wronged souls bound by the soul-binding stone tomb.

in some games, they were known as vengeful spirits, in others as demon spirits, and also as ghost warriors.

regardless of their names, they referred to a type of undead creature that moved quickly, had strong physical defenses, and fought with cold ruthless attacks.
