Chapter 414: Vanish (1/2)

Lu Yin helplessly watched on as the man slipped away like a fish and sighed. Forget it, I just lost some fish bait. He then raised his head and looked up at the mountain, the place where he intended to go next.

The path of cultivation was fraught with dangers, but that danger was unavoidable.

Lu Yin glanced at his right arm. Actually, he still had another piece of bait.

“Seventh Bro, I suddenly noticed that you are very handsome.” The monkey suddenly flattered Lu Yin, who grinned. This damned monkey was too shrewd.

Lu Yin could not head back at this point and started moving towards the mountain.

The Cruiser male hid within the ocean off in the distance, watching as Lu Yin headed towards the mountain. Only then did he finally relax. His gamble had paid off, and this person wouldn’t pursue him in this vast ocean.

It was possible that the only exit from this space was atop that mountain, so the Cruiser needed to follow Lu Yin. The situation had reversed, and it was now Lu Yin’s turn to act as bait.

As he approached the mountain, Lu Yin was able to more acutely sense the gathering aura. Lu Yin did not know how exactly to describe the sensation. Tyrannical, sharp, unparalleled; he could think of many adjectives that were close to fitting, all of which involuntarily popped into his mind since he had never come in contact with such an aura before.

The mountain was cylindrical, and it almost looked like it had been directly tossed into the seabed.

When Lu Yin reached the side and looked up, he could not see the peak. He then raised his hand, struck the mountain wall, and found that it was very sturdy. He used a bit more force but was still unable to damage the wall.

The durability of the mountain could be easily imagined if he could not affect the wall even with his current strength.

Endless rune lines had converged upon a mountain, so what exactly was this thing? Lu Yin’s eyes grew heated, and he started manually climbing up since he could not fly in this space.

“Seventh Bro, do you think that this mountain is safe?” the monkey asked nervously.

Lu Yin shook his head. “I don’t know, but it doesn't matter if it’s safe or not. We have to climb it since this is the only path.”

“Seventh Bro, that bastard’s coming over to the mountain.”

Lu Yin grunted. “When he starts climbing, go ahead and make a move. You can capture him, and we’ll use him as fish bait again.”

“Alright!” The monkey was excited but also a little afraid since he had nearly been used as fish bait himself. This Cruiser bastard had to be caught, as that person was the only one who deserved to be bait.

The man’s eyes trembled as he watched Lu Yin climb higher and higher up the mountain. He soon grabbed a hold of the wall with both hands and started to climb himself.

Suddenly, the man’s pupils shrank, and an intense fear filled his eyes. His entire body started vanishing.

“Se- Se- Seventh Bro, look down!” the monkey shouted anxiously.

Lu Yin lowered his head and his expression changed. “What’s going on? What did he do?”

“Nothing! He only touched the mountain!” the monkey shouted, completely terrified.

Lu Yin’s scalp grew numb as he stared at the disappearing man.

At the bottom-most part of the mountain, the Cruiser completely vanished from sight, bit by bit, until it was as if he had never existed. It was an extremely horrifying scene, as anyone would despair if they had to watch themselves vanish from existence.

The Cruiser never could have even dreamed that he would die in such a manner. Even though it was a painless ordeal, the desperation and terror that he felt in his final moments surpassed everything else.

It wasn’t just the Cruiser who was terrified, but also Lu Yin. When his hand made contact with the mountain wall, he had felt like he was in front of the underworld. He realized that the Cruiser’s existence in this space had been thoroughly rejected. This was what happened when someone fought against the cultivation path of the Runemasters; their very existence was directly erased from the universe in an act of complete destruction.

It was a rather strange and terrifying battle style.

A healthy, living person, and a Cruiser at that, had soundlessly vanished in an instant. He had only touched the wall, just the side of a mountain! No one could have expected that a mountain would possess such an attack. It was so odd that it toppled everyone’s common sense.

“Seventh Bro, I feel like we should go now.” The monkey was starting to panic; he had almost used his innate gift of shadows to touch the wall. He was now terrified since he felt like he had nearly doomed himself to oblivion.

Lu Yin nodded, as the cold cliff now felt like a freezing slab of ice, and he could not wait to stop touching it. It felt like he was holding a grenade that could go off at any moment, or that he was walking along the edge of a precarious cliff. He was certain that he would never forget this feeling for the rest of his life.

Lu Yin released his grip on the mountain with both hands and was just about to jump into the ocean, but at that same instance, his face went deathly pale. His clothes started disappearing.

He instinctively grabbed the wall with both hands again and saw that the vanishing process had stopped.

“Seventh Bro, what’s going on?” The monkey was still in terror.

Lu Yin was also at a loss. “I can’t let go! If I do, I might vanish!”

“That can’t be—it’s the reverse?! That bastard vanished when he touched the wall, but you can’t let go of it. What kind of trick is this? Try again! We can’t die here!” the monkey shrieked.

Lu Yin frowned and released one hand from the mountain wall. He was fine. But when he slowly pulled his other hand away from the mountain, his clothes immediately began to disappear. He hurriedly grasped the wall with both hands again and grimaced. “I can’t remove both hands at once. Monkey, it looks like our only choice is to climb up if we don’t want to die.”
