Chapter 282 Finally Returning. (1)
In the blink of an eye, an uneventful day silently passed by.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Leo, after using the last batch of spiritual plants within his inventory, exhaled a breath of misty air, extinguishing the blazing flame beneath the exquisite cauldron before hiding them within his inventory.
Waving his palm, the dozens of potion bottles in the corner of the room began to float within the atmosphere, gliding silently within as they followed Leo, who was walking toward the counter of the shop.
"Watch the shop while I'm away; I will temporarily give you the authority to control those puppets in my absence... Don't make mistakes."
"I understand. Don't worry, master; I will do my best to sell all the potions."
Nodding his head toward Angelica, Leo then shot a glance toward the imperceptible wisp beyond the counter, gesturing toward it to follow him as he exited the shop under the confused yet terrified gaze of Angelica. Continue reading at empire
Creak~
Seeing that Leo finally vanished within her vision, Angelica secretly glanced toward the empty shelf behind her with chills, feeling quite fearful as negative thoughts resurfaced within her mind.
She wondered whether her boss was seeing things imperceptible to one's normal sight or whether her boss's mind finally gave in, reasoning for hallucinations.
Either way, she could only bury the doubts in her heart. Even if she was working with fear, it was being offset by the high salary.
...
Wisp~
"Let's go; I will show you your new home."
Whispering this toward the wisp beside him, Leo then silently advanced toward the direction of the town gate.
It could be said that after a day of seclusion, the town's cultivator had already dealt with the filth and corpses of the quasi-devils, humans, and beasts that scattered around the town.
Making the town revert to its previous image.
However, although that was the case, the bloody and fishy scent within the atmosphere continued to linger, making a being below the core formation realm instinctively feel uncomfortable.
In addition to that, countless humans with bloody eyes, pale complexions, and haggard faces could be seen lifelessly moving toward the direction of the gate.
He could even faintly hear some of them mumbling continuously as they clenched their fists in denial, as if they had already lost their reasoning.
"Sigh. This is life; people could die at any second."
Gazing at the moving humans, an old man in the corner took a gulf from the wine bottle in his hand, gazing at them with pity before staring at the cracks in the firmament in complete silence. In his eyes, longing and regret could be faintly seen.
Hearing this, Leo only glances at the old man before continuing to move toward the gate.
On the way, he secretly glanced toward the sky, looking at the looming dark clouds that were slowly increasing in size, slowing the dissipation of the negative energy in the process.
It was being fed by the negative emotions of the mourning humans within the town, leaving Leo with mixed emotions.
"Indeed, that's why I need strength. This way, I could prolong my life.'
...
Swish~
Without pausing, Leo leisurely walked toward the depths of the endless forest, making the grasses and trees on his way ominously sway under the sight of sunlight before losing a considerable amount of their life force.
The air began to carry a faint scent of rotting and coldness that caused the atmosphere to dampen and darken by a certain amount, causing light mists to rise from the ground.
Furthermore, after the mutated animals sensed Leo's aura, they began to tremble instinctively and retreat far away from him... Making Leo's horror points fluctuate before increasing at a low speed.
Although his gain could be considered small, it could allow him to replenish his horror points, allowing him to purchase some miscellaneous items within his horror shop.
"How long are you going to follow me?"
Soon, after the light mist around him thickened considerably, Leo suddenly halted on his track. His eyes carried a hint of killing intent as he gazed toward his obstructed back in pure silence...
As if waiting for someone or something to show up, he patiently waited on his spot.
"Hmm? Did my senses play tricks with me?"
After waiting for 5 minutes, Leo couldn't help but scratch his cheeks in irritation, leaving a red mark on his pale face before continuing forward.
Cra-crack~
However, as he was about to step forward, continuing his journey, the ground he was currently on suddenly caved in, breaking into countless shards akin to broken glass as his pale physique fell toward it.
Shifting his gaze below, Leo saw countless sharp pieces of glass that were coated with crimson blood, glinting with red forbidding light as they waited for his body to get pierced by them.
Unfortunately for them, under Leo's calm expression, a sudden imperceptible energy grabbed his descending being, causing him to mysteriously halt mid-air.
"Interesting, I unknowingly fell under someone's skill. If I guess correctly, it was a skill that was coated by rules that exceed 80% of understanding.'
Shing!
As Leo was gliding within the atmosphere, the broken shard of glass below him suddenly released a sharp, cracking sound, making Leo's expression finally change as a dangerous sensation engulfed his soul.
The broken glasses beneath instantly release a huge amount of qi, turning into bloody spikes before expanding greatly under the veil of the canopy above.
In the blink of an eye, every piece of broken glass within the pit reached 25 feet in height. Furthermore, it creates branches of sharp mirrors that extend to the surrounding area, penetrating the trees unhindered and cutting the grass without putting any effort in.
As for Leo, his lower body received countless injuries. Some of the mirror shards even entered his flesh, while others could be seen poking within the surface of his pale skin, being dyed by dark blood as they emit a faint glow of ominous red.
Spit~
Spitting blood toward the ground, Leo's expression turned grave as he silently stared at the silhouette, materializing beside the huge tree in the distance with killing intent.
"I know, you didn't expect to see me, right?
"Hehe~ hand the forbidden item and the skill scroll that contained holiness so you could rest in peace without experiencing pain... or else."
What do you think?
