The four went on a killing spree within the Skull Passageway.
Some of these skeletons were still wearing clothes, and it was evident that it was French attire. There
were men and women of all ages. A few were even infants who were just born. They were initially
ordinary people, just like everyone else. Yet now, they were resurrected by some odd energy within the
Skull Passageway, becoming tools to help attack Astor and the others. All of them had turned rather
strong. Their bones were tougher too.
Astor
Alex
âWho is this sinner, committing so many crimes in this place? Look at these people. Theyâre just
mortals within France. This place was completely destroyed, and there arenât many left either. Have
they all been killed here?â Esmeralda questioned angrily.
âThere might be a large demon training their demonic cultivation here!â
Agatha was rather experienced and was able to notice something.
Dorothy said, âThis passageway seems endless. If we keep going forward, would we end up falling into
someoneâs trap?â
Agatha said, âNo worries, I have the Void Crystal of Annihilation on me. We would be able to break
through any trap we encounter.â
While saying this, she summoned hundreds of Holy Rabbits with a large wave of white rushing further
into the passage.
In an instant, many skeletons were revived. The Holy Rabbits were quite strong yet small and were
able to battle at a quick speed. It would even self-destruct once in a while, setting fireworks off within
this passage. This made the resurrected skeletons fall back to the ground once again. Finally, they
were at the end of the passage.
Unexpectedly, when they walked through the passageway, a vast sea appeared in front of them. The
waves splashed onto the shore, with a layer of thick fog right above the surface.
Esmeralda gasped. âThereâs a sea here.â
Dorothy spoke up too. âLooks like your swimming suit would fit this occasion then. Too bad itâs too dark
and foggy, so you wouldnât be able to use your sunglasses.â
Astor reached out to touch the water, realizing that it wasnât cold at all. It was warm even.
Astor
Alex
âAre we still in France?â
âDid we enter some kind of hidden space? Else why would such a large sea be in this underground
area? From what we know, thereâs no way that there would be sea here, nor is it near any shores.â
Upon hearing Astorâs words, Agatha replied. âDuring the ancient times, America used to have a Core
World. The world then mutated somehow and was able to merge with the outside world. But not all of
the Core World was on the surface. Some remained underground.â
Astor
Alex
âSo, we might have entered that very Core World.â
Everyone was shocked.
Just then, Astor sensed something. It was Yunoâs voice, which sounded weaker than before.
Astor
Alex
âPaul, I canât take it anymore! If you have entered this place, head to the northeast corner, then straight
to the bottom of the sea. Bring Phoebe with you, and leave immediately. Run as far as you can. My
original body had been taken over by someone else. I wonât be able to escapeâ¦â
Paul,
Alex,
âDonât make any noise, and donât alert him. Heâs very scary!â
Hearing this, Astor felt his heart sink. He didnât know who Yano was talking about, but it was clear that
this being would be difficult to take on. He then shared the information he received with the others.
Astor
Alex
Agatha was resolute. âIt would seem that your friend could be the soul of the Peacock Heavenly King.
Your friend is important to us now. We canât possibly lose her. She is the key to saving the entire
universe! Paul, youâre the seed. You are the only one who could save the Diffracted universe. I am
willing to believe that this could be the opportunity to change our fates.â
Paul,
Alex,
It was a chance that they couldnât possibly miss, even if they were wrong about it.
âOkay!â Astor nodded. âBut we donât know her exact location yet.â
Astor
Alex
Dorothy said, âSince she just told you, donât make any noise or alert him. Likely, the Skull Passageway
wasnât his doing. Itâs probably similar to a boundary, and the resurrected skeletons were just a natural
part of it â
Esmeralda nodded. âI think so too.â
