It looked like a different space had been moved here. The scene was incompatible with the vast grassland and open sky.
As the old herdsman was filled with astonishment, he suddenly saw a giant silhouette appearing at the spot where the lines crossed paths.
The silhouette felt like an illusionary projection at the start. It was unreal.
However, its outline gradually became clearer. The old herdsman realized he was looking at a structure the size of a hill. The stairs leading up to the narrow top were made of golden stones. Each golden stone was perfectly cut, with sharp edges!
Each cut stone was far taller than a person!
The entire building was made of tens of thousands of these golden stones. They were stacked together to form a magnificent structure with triangular surfaces!
The old herdsman felt like he was dreaming. He never thought he would see such a golden structure at such close range. It had suddenly appeared on the grassland, as if it had just mysteriously traveled here through space!
As it became more real, the old herdsman began to feel an enormous pressure from it...
Why would it show up here!?
Why would a pyramid show up here!?
”This is the real mirage,” the old herdsman heard the young man say.
The old herdsman fell to the ground, feeling like his soul was crumbling to pieces under the imperious aura of the pyramid that traveled across space. The pieces of his soul were drifting in a new wind that was filled with the aura of death...
”Can you feel it?” the young man said, sounding like a devil now. ”This light that doesn't have any heat, it's even sending chills down my spine and making my hair stand on end… this is the light of the Underworld!” the young man proclaimed.
The old herdsman saw it and felt it too.
It was exactly what the young man had described. Even the sun had darkened under this light. The sky had turned gray and gloomy. The land was shrouded by a mist, and the temperature had dropped significantly too!
The light of the Underworld!
The gloom that allows the dead to roam freely!
The old herdsman finally realized everything that the young man had said was real.
Ghastly shrieks came from across the place. The old herdsman broke out in a cold sweat.
”The kingdom of the dead exists in another dimension, and the gate that leads it to the mundane world isn't our land, but Osiris' residence, and the places its light can reach!” the young man said.
Every sentence that the young man said was like a heavy blow to the old herdsman. He could barely withhold the shock he was receiving!
The grass had wilted. The plants had fallen and scattered about.
If the grassland was a huge green painting, it was like someone was scribbling on it with black, gray, and dark colors, giving it a spooky, terrifying shade. The process did not last long, moving quicker than a scene suddenly shifted in a nightmare. It was unbelievable...
The icy land cracked apart. One after another, ferocious-looking undead climbed out of the cracks. They were restless under the brilliance of the pyramid, and had a dangerous vibe. The sounds they produced spread into the distance...
Their numbers continued to increase, soon as dense as a herd of livestock. When the wind blew from the town, the scent of the living roused them. Their eyes emitted a savage flicker!
