Looking forward to another world.

Chapter 1091 The Screaming Shadow and the Foul Smell

A sudden death not only interrupted Lige and his team's exploration plan, but also caused a great psychological trauma to the girls.

It would be fine if it was just an ordinary death, but the girls died in a very miserable way and looked extremely painful, so Lige did not blame the girls, but tried his best to comfort them.

After the girls calmed down, Lige said something tentatively.

"Why don't you stay here? I'll go to the back hall by myself."

As soon as these words were spoken, the girls reacted immediately.

"We are fine now, sir."

Mello was still the first one to speak.

But after hesitating for a moment, she told Lige this.

"That rain is weird, it may not be what it seems."

This seems like nonsense.

Although the rain looked ordinary and there was nothing strange about it, since Melo, Naisha, Belluddy and others had died uncontrollably in front of him, and even [Dia Fratel] could not be saved, no matter how stupid Lige was, he understood that there was a big problem with the rain.

After being hit by the rain, not only the girls' flesh and bones were melted, but even their weapons, equipment and props were all melted.

You know, with the identities of Melo and others, the weapons, equipment and props they carry with them are of very high quality. In particular, some of them are precious treasures that they used to burst out strength beyond their current level. Ordinary means will definitely not be able to cause damage to these things.

As a result, in that seemingly ordinary rain, all these things melted without exception, which was simply unbelievable.

In addition, Liger cast various spells on the girls.

Among these magics, there are those that can resist various abnormal conditions, those that can invalidate various negative forces, and those that can enhance one's own resistance, combat capability, protective capability and other aspects of ability. Both physical defense and magical defense have been significantly improved.

and then?
Even though they had so much magical protection, the girls were still dissolved completely in just two or three seconds, leaving not even a bone behind.

Not only did Lige fail to stop this process, he even failed to find anything strange about it.

In his transparent world, the rain was just ordinary rain, and there was nothing abnormal about the girls' bodies.

Everything seemed extremely normal, there was nothing unusual or weird.

However, even in this situation, the girls' bodies began to dissolve without any warning, and their equipment and items were destroyed, without even a trace left.

Isn’t this enough to illustrate how weird and scary the rain is?
However, it seemed that the girls were not just referring to the rain.

"Before the abnormality appeared in my body, I seemed to be in a fantasy world."

Melo seemed to be recalling what happened at that time, and his expression looked a little unhappy.

"Me too!"

"I, I saw hallucinations too!"

Naisha and Beiludi also hurriedly spoke up and told the matter.

"Illusion?" Li Ge was slightly startled, frowned, and asked seriously: "What did you see?"

The answer to this question is not consistent.

"...I saw myself falling into a swamp, and my body sank little by little into the swamp. Then I began to feel a sharp pain in my body. By the time I reacted, my body had already become that state."

Melo pursed his lips and told Lige what he saw.

"What I saw were the Abyss believers that I had fought and even conquered in the past." Naisha said bitterly while holding a cup of hot black tea, "I saw myself surrounded by them. They attacked me with hideous faces. I didn't even have time to react before I was hit by the overwhelming attack. Then I began to feel a sharp pain in my body. After I reacted, I became like that."

Hearing this, Lige's brows furrowed deeper and deeper. He turned his head without saying a word and looked at Beiludi at the end.

Facing Lige's gaze, Belluddy lowered her eyelids slightly, and spoke in a low voice after a while.

"I saw myself on the scaffold by the very people I had saved in the past."

"They held torches and shouted angry curses, saying that I was not a saint but a witch who harmed people."

“And then… I was turned on by them.”

Burning at the stake!

This word flashed through Li Ge's mind, and then he fell silent.

He vaguely felt that everything the girls experienced was not an illusion or hallucination.

At least, not entirely.

What they saw was not necessarily real, but the death process they experienced was undoubtedly real.

When they see themselves in danger and the image of "death" appears in their minds, this image will change from an illusion to reality and visit them, causing them to die miserably.

"What else did you see?"

Li Ge wanted to get more information, so he questioned the girls carefully.

The girls seemed to want to help, and even though their faces looked grim, they were still trying hard to remember what they had seen.

Immediately, the girls spoke up with some uncertainty.

"Just before I was swallowed by the swamp, I seemed to hear some kind of cry?"

Mello frowned, his words full of uncertainty.

"I seemed to see a dark shadow behind those Abyss followers who attacked me."

Naisha gave different information, the only thing that remained the same was the uncertain tone.

"Is that so?" Beiludi asked in confusion, "Why do I feel like I smell something rotten in the fire?"

The discoveries and feelings of the three people were completely different. Not only did they fail to solve Lige's puzzle, but they seemed to add more mysteries.

Screams...shadows...the smell of rot...

Lige was silent for a while, then stood up.

"You guys stay here and have a good rest. Leave the outside to me for now."

As soon as Li Ge finished speaking, the girls stood up quickly.

"Wait a moment!"

"We're going too!"

"Your Mightiness……!"

Melo, Naisha and Beiludi naturally did not want to see Lige go on an adventure alone.

But as soon as they stood up, their bodies began to shake. Beiludi, who had the least physical strength, almost fell to the ground. It was Lige who reached out and supported her, thus preventing her from falling to the ground.

"You have just been resurrected. Your bodies are extremely lacking in vitality and extremely weak. Even if you want to go with me, you can't."

Lige helped Belluddy sit down and spoke to the girls.

"Besides, the situation is still unclear. I suspect that you died in the rain not because there was something strange about the rain, but because something used the rain as a medium to activate the ability to kill people."

"This ability is almost impossible to avoid, and once you are hit, there is absolutely no way to change the outcome of death. The only effective way to deal with it is probably to avoid contact with the medium that activates the ability."

"But no one can be sure that rain is the only medium through which that ability is activated. What if there are other media?"

Li Ge analyzed it calmly.

"So, let me go explore the way first."

Hearing this, the girls seemed a little reluctant. Belluddy even silently chanted magic to heal her weak body.

It’s a pity that Lige didn’t give Belluti time.

"Anyway, you guys stay here until I gather some information."

Li Ge said this in an unquestionable tone.

"I'll come back to see you after you've recovered some strength."

Leaving these words, Li Ge turned and left.

Melo, Naisha and Beiludi were unable to say anything to persuade Lige to stay. They could only watch Lige leave and fell into a long silence.

"In the end, we still fell behind."

Nayesha murmured something, causing Melo to lower his head.

Whether it was the last time they arrived at this black land or this time when they explored the Great Saint Palace, it seemed that they could only hide in this so-called refuge and wait for Lige to come back.

Obviously... they are here to help.

"Ugh……"

Belluddy sighed, but she was not as depressed as Melo and Naisha.

She knew from the beginning that if she followed Li Ge here this time, she would definitely be a drag.

After all, she was the only one among all the people present who had no ability to fight.

Even the healing and recovery abilities that he was so proud of seemed to be inferior to Lige's.

Therefore, Beiludi has already prepared herself mentally for this and will not feel frustrated.

She was very clear about her purpose and her position, and therefore she was the fastest of the three to accept the current situation.

but……

“Resurrection…?”

A strange emotion appeared in Belluddy's eyes.

She had never imagined that Lige had the ability to resurrect others.

"The magic of resurrection..."

"If I can learn it, can I save more people?"

"That way, when the gate to the abyss is closed, I won't..."

Thinking of this, the strangeness in Beiludi's eyes turned into a kind of hope.

…………

"Crash..."

In the vast square, the drizzle of rain was still falling, and there was no sign of the horror that could instantly turn a person into nothingness.

Lige left the front hall where the shelter was located and stood in the square, staring at the rain with his eyes shining with transparent luster.

"It's still the same as before. Nothing was found."

After spying like this for a few minutes, Lige had to admit this reality.

So he turned his gaze and looked to the other side of the rain.

There, the central hall of the Great Saint Palace was also bathed in the drizzle of rain, exuding an inexplicable sense of vicissitudes.

Lige stood there for a while, and then took a step and walked towards the direction of the central hall.
