YM778.TV Chapter 796 A Problem With His Spirit
Before William would figure out what he\'d do next, ignoring the screams of Angelica, he felt some sort of hidden force dragging his body down.
"Is this normal?" William felt like light was getting dimmer the more he sank down. He tried to resist that force, but with no avail. He was like sinking in the depth of an ocean, without knowing how to swim, without oxygen to breath.
He felt powerless, but as this was a portal, then there must be an end for it. William felt the pulling force getting fiercer the more he sank down, ending up seeing nothing at all but pitch darkness.
Even Angelica whom he carried with his tail got eaten with the darkness.
*Flop!*
He felt like he fell from a pool into an ocean. Yet when he opened his eyes, he found himself lying on the ground, his spirit body form deactivated on its own, while Angelica was a few metres away from him, losing her consciousness.
"What the heck was that?!" he stood up, to feel like his head slammed against a wall or something. He felt weirdly dizzy and had to take a spear out and use it as a stick to lean on.
When he looked around, he found a forest, not thick and dense like usual, but with trees spread out in far distance.
The ground was filled with lavish green grass, and a small river ran just next to them. The place looked perfect for a resting spot, one where he could have lunch, enjoy the sightseeing, without fearing anything.
He spread his spirit sense, to see that he was indeed in a new and different forest than the one he was walking at before entering the Hot Snow world. The good news was that he didn\'t see any monsters around. But the bad news was that he noticed the presence of a sentry tower, something that was unique for any big town or city.
"It\'s still midday," the moment he noticed this tower, he raised his head and looked at the sky. He wanted to make sure that there was enough time for him and Angelica to get as far away from here, before night would fall and monsters would flock to this area.
He tried to start transforming into his fox-snake mixed body, ending up with nothing. A severe pain hit him, with something shining like a tattoo over his chest.
It appeared even from underneath his cloak and armour. He hurriedly checked his chest, to find a weird shaped tattoo there, one that wasn\'t there before.
It was in the shape of water droplets, gathered together to form an arc, like a wave splashing out of the ocean. But there was no ocean, and it was hitting against his chest.
The moment he used his spirit body, this tattoo shone again. This time William endured the pain, to examine what he got out of that place.
"What a nasty sealing technique this is…" he recognised parts of the seal he suffered from, "I don\'t recall anything coming near my body, except…"
His mind froze when he thought about this. He turned his eyes towards the unconscious Angelica, with a crazy idea popping up in his mind.
People in this world managed to get out of this place before, yet no one seemed to suffer from such a seal. And that wasn\'t because he was a special case, or things went worse for him, but because people in this world weren\'t able to activate their spirit power to begin with.
That made him think about something, about everyone in this world suffering from such a seal since the day of their birth. William wanted to examine her chest, but he stopped when he saw her moving her body a little.
He decided to wait for later, asking her directly if she got such a seal or something. And for a reason, he felt like people of this world weren\'t aware of such a thing.
The tattoo seemed a bit vague when he didn\'t activate his spirit body. When he did, the seal got activated, shining in bright light. He was thinking that such a seal wouldn\'t appear without the master trying to activate his spirit body, a thing that none of the masters in this world learnt or knew how to do.
"I need to go to that city\'s grand library, perhaps I\'ll find something that can help me…" he tried to break this seal, but he ended up suffering more thanks to that.
Unlike what he decided before, he didn\'t walk away from that sentry tower. Instead, he walked directly towards them. As long as he couldn\'t use his spirit body, his fighting prowess got decreased by a large chunk.
He wouldn\'t risk fighting against mysterious enemies, monsters, wouldn\'t risk adventuring the forest, without fixing this issue first.
As for Angelica, he carried her on his back, acting as if the two were humans running for their lives, away from monsters.
"What happened?"
As William expected, the moment he drew closer from them, and they mistook him for a surviving master of fierce and hellish travel inside the forest.
"We ran into monsters, hordes of them," William put a panicked face before adding, "my entire group, all of them died. This is my cousin; I couldn\'t leave her behind…"
William even shed a tear, adding more to his miserable looking state. And without any suspense, the safeguarding team bought what he just said, and started to escort him and Angelica towards a well secured road.
During the few hours of travel, he learnt from the masters leading him about many things. And when he heard what they said, he couldn\'t help but get genuinely shocked.
He appeared at the outskirts of the same city he wanted to visit. According to them, the Hot Snow land appeared here a few days ago, ending up vanishing just a few hours before he appeared.
