Chapter 956 - Illusion and Quintessence II (1/2)

I tried a couple of times to contact Ashlyn, but seeing it is futile, I left it be and looked at the environment I am in. The Blood Mist had no change; it had the same aura and color as it had in the illusion.

If it were not for me feeling the connection with Ashlyn, I would have thought I was still in the Illusion.

I looked around to get a sense of direction but got no answer, and when I used my killing Rule, which is shaking madly for some time to sense the direction, things got even more confusing that I immediately cut off my connection with the killing Rule.

Usually, when I use the killing Rule, I instantly get the idea about the directions, but this time when I used it, my senses have become haywire that made everything even more confusing.

It's a good thing I did not make use of the Killing Rule in my battle earlier if I had then those skeletons would have been able to kill me, and I don't, which would happen after that as those who lost in the illusion were never able to come back ever.

'Looks like I will have to do this in the Old Fashioned Way.' I said in my mind and started to walk in neither slow nor fast fashion. Since I could not sense the direction, I will take help from the blood mist.

I have chosen one direction; if the Mist got dense, then I am in the wrong direction, and if the Mist Started to thin away means I am walking in the right direction if that had happened then I would get the hell out of the way.

Hun!

But when I walked sufficient distance, I found a slight change, but this change is confusing as one moment, the Mist would thin out while another moment it would thicken.

Seeing that I changed direction but found everywhere is the same, wherever I go, I will get the same feeling from the mist. 'Have I entered too deep?' I asked myself.

When I entered the Blood Red Sea of Mist, I was in extreme pain, and that I did not have a sense of where Ashlyn was taking me, and when I knew I had entered the Blood Red Sea of Mist, it had become too late as I had already entered the mist.

Speaking of injuries, I had nearly forgotten about it, I thought, and began to check my injuries and found all of them have healed, and I am very sure that my injuries have healed. I am not in illusion as these small proof of that fearsome injuries were all over my body.

After a moment of looking around, I again started to look around for the way out, and I have to find the way out quickly as in a minute or two, I will enter another illusion, and dealing with it is going to be not as easy as the previous one.

Time passed when a minute later, I found the connection of Ashlyn, and mine was disappearing at very fast, and seeing that I knew, I was entering the Illusion. I had tried to fight it, but no matter how much I tried, I was not able to fight against it.

'Chew Chew…'

I had entered the Illusion, and my connection with Ashlyn was about to disappear when suddenly I heard the familiar chip of Ashlyn. That connection of ours has started strengthening at the visible speed till it became stronger than before.

Unlike before, I could now sense the condition of Ashlyn, and unlike me, she is still injured, but her injuries have mostly healed, and those that remained are nonthreatening.

Though the connection between us had grown stronger, there is still a strong restriction that is forbidding me from summoning Ashlyn outside.
