One in every 100 inscriptions in the formation was similar to Curse Inscriptions.
James had to deduce the inscription’s meaning just through the few he could identify.
Although it was tedious, he could decipher the inscriptions if he looked through them meticulously.
While James and the trio studied the inscriptions, a strange phenomenon occurred.
A bizarre, black light shone from the city wall, and a few shadowy figures appeared in the sky, gradually forming a mighty army.
“What the...?” Everyone was shocked.
James looked at the shadowy figures above the city walls.
The shadowy figures slowly took corporeal form, turning into black-armored warriors with long spears.
The warriors were expressionless but radiated wicked energy from their bodies.
James realized that they were no longer living beings but evil spirits formed from the regrets of the dead.
Despite being formed from vestiges of regret, their aura was terrifyingly strong. novelebook.comThe weakest among them was a
Grand Emperor. Among them were also Quasi Ancestral Gods and Ancestral Gods.
“Huff!” James gasped.
“They must’ve been extremely powerful when they lived and died with immense resentment to form such terrifying evil spirits.
James did not understand what was happening.
“Attack!!!”
While occupied with his thoughts, James heard a loud command.
The yell was deafening, and the force seemed to shake the surroundings.
As the command boomed in the air, over 10,000 evil spirits charged, brandishing their weapons. Their aura was overwhelming
and threatened to crush everything around them.
James and his companions immediately tensed up. Without hesitating, they quickly tried to flee the area.
However, the evil spirits were incredibly fast and fell upon them almost instantly.
An intense fight broke out.
Although his three companions were Quasi Ancestral Gods, they were hard-pressed against over 10,000 evil spirits.
James quickly seized the chance to utilize the power of his Space Path.
Although he could not breach the city gate’s space, their battle took place slightly further away from the city. Thus, he could use
his Space Path’s power to create an escape path for his party.
Everyone sported horrified expressions after fleeing back to the plains.
Startled, Mia asked. “What were those warriors?”
She had never been to the Dark World before and did not know about the existence of evil spirits.
James explained. “Those were evil spirits.”
Curious, she asked again. “What are evil spirits?”
James further elaborated. “Evil spirits are creatures from the Dark World. They’re formed by soul fragments and live as undead
souls.”
“However, these evil spirits are different from those in the Dark World. They’re formed by the regrets of the dead.
novelebook.com If a living being dies with intense regrets, its regret will take on the form of an evil spirit and will remain in the
Human Realm.”
His companions immediately his explanation.
However, they still had a few questions.
Mia asked. “What kind of place is the Dead City? Why are there so many evil spirits? What’s more, they’re very powerful. Many
of them were Quasi Ancestral Gods and Ancestral Gods.”
James shook his head lightly, as he did not know the answer to her questions.
Herbert looked at James and asked. “What should we do now?”
James shook his head again. There was nothing he could do against so many powerful evil spirits.
He finally understood why no one returned alive after traveling this path. Once they triggered the barrier formation,thuy an army
of evil spirits would appear and attack them.
With so many powerful evil spirits bearing down on them, it was hard for even a powerhouse to leave the place.
All eyes were on James. If anyone could devise a plan among them, it had to be James.
