Chapter 378: Encirclement and Suppression - Ascetic Monks of the Dawn Church

Ten minutes later, Odor landed on the ground and dug away the upper layer of soil, revealing five corpses hidden thirty meters below.

"Who ate their souls."

Odor stared at the five mummies with a heavy expression on his face.

"The breath of the outer god."

While everyone was deep in thought, Kyle made a surprising statement.

"That's probably true."

Associating the news told to him by the guidance of fate, Verin felt that he might have discovered some truth.

"I think..."

Before Weilin could finish speaking, the space shattered and an old man in gray robe walked out.

Weilin looked at the other person's figure and his eyes widened.

Isn't this why the ascetic monk from the Church of Dawn whom I met more than ten years ago is here? Could it be that he is also here for the believers of foreign gods.

"Dear ***, it's a pleasure to meet you again." The old man in gray robe bowed and saluted to express his respect.

"Forehead."

Except for Kyle, Odor and Balmond all looked at him with scrutiny. Verin really wanted to tell them that he knew nothing.

"This... I don't know what to call you."

"You can call me Gerald." The old man in gray robe smiled and ignored the others.

"Your Excellency Gerald, you are also here to pursue the believers of the outer gods."

"Yes, but not entirely. To be precise, I am here to help you clear out the followers of the Outer Gods." The gray-robed old man Gerald shook his head and replied.

When Verin was still about to ask, Gerald came to the place where the information about the outer gods was thickest and tore open the space with his bare hands.

"An unknown mezzanine space." Kyle said with a deep gaze.

Suddenly, Balmond felt like a waste, just watching from the side.

What is the identity of his nephew? What Gerald just said was silenced by him.

In addition, he secretly observed that neither Odor nor Kyle could hear what the ascetic monk from the Church of the Dawn called Verin.

"After I go back, I have to...what do I want to do?"

For a moment, Balmond felt as if he had lost a certain part of his memory, but it was as if nothing had happened.

Gerald put three layers of [Morning Protection] on the four of Verin, and then stepped into the space passage with his physical body.

"Let's go."

After Weilin finished speaking, he entered the passage first.

Kyle followed closely and stepped into this space passage.

Balmond and Odor looked at each other and entered the space passage.

…

Opening his eyes, everything around him was different from what he imagined. There was no fog or anything blocking his sight. Everything in this mezzanine space was presented to everyone.

There is only one word to describe the scene in front of me: broken.

Everywhere you look, there are islands floating in the void, ranging in size from tens of kilometers to tens of meters in size, dotted in all directions.

With a slight jump, Verin suddenly felt his body free from restraints and flew high into the sky.

Seeing this, Kyle quickly grabbed his master's upper leg and pulled him back to the ground.

"With the ground as the benchmark, you can walk normally within a height of three meters. Above three meters, it does not belong to the ground, but belongs to the void of this mezzanine space." Odor explained to everyone based on his own understanding. .

"What the arcanist said is right, but not entirely. This mezzanine space is missing many laws, but some laws exist to maintain the operation of this mezzanine space. Each island has its own rule."

After Gerald finished speaking, he expanded his territory and enveloped everyone.

"Please do not leave the area covered by my domain. This is an unknown mezzanine space. If you are teleported, I may not be able to find you."

"I see."

"Don't worry, Lord Gerald, we won't run around."

Afterwards, the four of them followed the gray-robed old man Gerald, looking for traces of the followers of the outer gods.

At this moment, Gref, who was searching for traces of the Necromancer in the shadow world, was completely forgotten by everyone.

Passing through islands with strange rules, constantly climbing towards the upper level of this space.

Two faceless men emerged from the ground and attacked everyone without explanation.

As soon as he stepped into Gerald's domain, he was burned to ashes and turned into a ball of white residue.

"This is the believer of the Outer God." Verin asked curiously.

Gerald shook his head and said, "No, these are the creatures living in this mezzanine space. They can also be called refugees fleeing from other worlds."

"There is no way to know their original appearance, but what is certain is that they were contaminated by the divinity of the outer gods. After an unknown period of evolution, they finally became like this."

"Faceless people, I'm curious about how they eat."

No one can answer this question.

The higher you climb, the more faceless people you encounter. Without exception, when you step into Gerald's domain, you turn directly into a ball of white residue.

In the mezzanine space, the laws and order are disordered, which prevents the legendary path of living beings from living again. Unless you go to the main world or other five spaces, you can only hide here and be a mouse.

Theoretically, with Gerald, the ascetic monk of the Church of the Dawn, here, their trip this time was completely a sightseeing trip, and they would not feel any pressure, not even a little bit.

After an unknown amount of time, everyone landed on a wide island with an area of ​​more than 100,000 square kilometers. It was the largest island within sight.

Thousands of meters away, a strange city in white appeared in front of everyone.

"The text on it... um, I don't understand it."

In Weilin's eyes, the text on the city gate was completely a mess. Beyond his cognition, perhaps this kind of text was not meant for creatures with eyes, after all, the natives here were a group of faceless people.

Entering the city, the prosperity of the city disappeared without a trace. Various items were scattered on the streets, and it was a mess, like a ruin that had been looted. However, what was creepy was that there was not a single faceless person here. The whole city was shrouded in a terrible silence, as if time had frozen and there was no trace of life.

Kyle felt the breath around him, frowned, and protected Weilin behind him.

The next moment, countless faceless people emerged from the ground and rushed silently towards Glald's territory.

There was no sound, the silence was terrifying and horrifying.

Weilin stared at the scene in front of him, feeling like he was watching a silent movie. He could only see the other person's movements but could not hear any sound. If he had not been able to make a sound, he would have really thought he was deaf.

I don't know how long it took, until there were no more faceless people on the ground who appeared to commit suicide, and the group of five continued to move forward.
