Forest of Poisonous Mist

The Dimensional Demon was defeated, and the distorted space had returned to normal. Everyone saw the strange cloud in the sky before. With Link’s eidetic memory, they did not have to worry about getting lost in the forest.

Around 20 minutes later, they saw a running stream filled with gravel and rocks broken apart by the torrents. This was supposed to be beautiful scenery, though the terrifying scene that they saw made them speechless.

“In the name of the God of Light, Wavier has to be crucified and burned to death!” Joseph bellowed, clearly enraged.

“Unimaginable! Simply disgusting!” Romilson muttered.

“This is hell!” Milda whispered.

Link then sighed. Despite seeing a Skeletal Fort built purely from the bones of the deceased and countless barbaric souls seeking justice for their deaths in the Soul Realm, he was still shocked by the sight in front of him.

This stream was not a huge one. It was only about 45 feet wide. Although the water was running at a fast speed, the color was blood red. The air was filled with the stench of fresh blood, and countless bodies could be seen lying motionless within the stream.

These corpses were either missing their head or suffered a ghastly wound somewhere on their bodies. The fluids in their bodies seemed to be completely drained beforehand. Each of them looked as withered and dry as a mummy.

There was neither gender nor age segregation when Wavier killed those people. They were all wearing ordinary clothing, but with their eyes wide open. They seemed to find it shocking as to why they would be subjected to such treatment.

Link then saw a little girl hanging on a branch near the stream. The little girl’s body was as dry as a brittle stick. However, she still held her teddy bear tightly in her hands. Her fingers clasped tightly against one another as her dirty toy hit her body ever so often, moving according to the river currents.

Link even saw a pregnant woman who had lost her head. However, she had instinctively covered her stomach to protect her child. The father was present as well. He hugged his wife’s stomach, praying that his child would be saved. Alas, he was still too weak to do anything.

This terrifying stream carried whispers of Wavier’s unspeakable deeds.

After staring at it for a long time, Link gave a long sigh and said, “Everyone, we must succeed in our mission! If not, the tragedy we see today will spread throughout the World of Firuman.”

Yes, they had to succeed!

All the Holy Knights immediately had a sense of purpose on their faces. Joseph then grabbed his holy cross sword tightly as he prayed, “I will give up anything as long as I can kill Wavier! In the name of God of Light, please bless me with success!”

Romilson trembled as he grabbed his wand. He did not know whether he was excited or afraid.

On the other hand, Milda took out a delicately designed thorned pendant from her dimensional bracelet. An intricate emerald hand from the pendant. She then placed this pendant on her flawlessly white neck. The thorn pierced through her flesh immediately, causing blood to flow out from those wounds. However, she seemed to be unaffected by it.

Upon seeing this scene, Romilson gasped, “My Highness, you…”

Milda then interrupted, “This is my choice. Even if I am royalty, I have the right to choose what I want to do with my life. Furthermore, I still have many sisters in the Isle of Dawn.”

Romilson fell speechless.

Link the shouted, “The Necropolis is right in front of our eyes. Let’s go!”

Joseph still led the way, followed by Link, then Milda and Romilson and lastly, the Holy Knights. The stream was not too wide, and there were rocks above the water. They made use of these rocks to get to the other side.

After walking for a few minutes, a huge path appeared in the forest. At the same time, the mist in the air became unusually thick.

There were countless corpses accumulated on two sides of the path. There were also countless patrolling Skeleton Warriors. The moment they saw a moving target, they would wave their clubs frantically and charge forward.

These are all low-level undead. Link only needed to release a few Level-3 Storm of Daggers spells to eliminate a huge number of them at once. Before long, all these low-level undead were defeated.

At that moment, anyone could guess that the Necropolis was just right in front of their eyes.

A message then appeared in Link’s field of vision. It was a mission.

“Mission accepted,” Link said without hesitation.

Link the turned to the rest and said, “Be careful, we will be facing a huge number of high-level undead and high-level demons!”
