Chapter 861 This Soul Seems Familiar
The one speaking was Paimon.
The little white-haired boy was also covered in a layer of gold and red, as if he had a "resurrection armor". In addition, like Kong, he was not afraid of being corrupted by the abyss, and he stubbornly followed Kong in.
What puzzled Xiaobai was why Xu Ning, that big drunkard, had also staggered in. Just a moment ago, he had been acting as if he wanted to stop Lord Vulcan from launching a counterattack...
"I just don't want to see Lord Vulcan sacrifice himself for victory, but since the war has already begun, there's no use in regretting it now. It's better to end it all sooner rather than later."
Xu Ning's answer was practically flawless, and Kong nodded in deep agreement, saying, "Brother, I'm going!" before charging towards the front with his sword.
"Hey, Sora, I don't think the big drunkard is as simple as he says."
After flying a long way with Kong, Paimon looked back at Xu Ning, who was still standing in the same spot, and reminded Kong, "Lord Vulcan launched this large-scale counterattack because he wanted to completely eradicate the Abyss's future troubles, but I feel that the Big Drunkard just wants to end this battle quickly, and doesn't seem to want us to face that 'big eye'..."
Kong was actually quite uneasy inside.
Even though Brother Xu had come to help Nata just like him, and had brought so many Thousand Rock Army soldiers and weapons, there was always something strange about his conversation with Vulcan Mavica.
Just as Paimon said, it is very possible that Brother Xu and everyone in Nata are not of one mind. Whether it is due to personal selfishness or regional interests, this war that started with lives must have a perfect ending, and no one should suffer because of the abyss anymore.
"If you notice anything unusual about Brother Xu during our battle, tell me immediately."
Paimon raised his little fist firmly, "I'll definitely keep an eye on him for you."
Xu Ning was actually making "unusual movements" at this moment.
After all, amidst a group of warriors launching a passionate counterattack, he strolled leisurely through the Kingdom of Night God as if taking a leisurely walk.
"This shouldn't be... Logically speaking, I've shown my face in front of so many people, they should know I'm here, so why don't they come to meet me? So heartless..."
Xu Ning muttered to himself, then suddenly turned and walked towards a place shrouded in thick fog.
"Could it be in here?"
The Kingdom of Night Gods is practically devoid of any clean or tidy places; it is scarred and battered everywhere. Even the stones on the ground bear numerous marks left by sharp claws and weapons. Coupled with the thick fog, walking is extremely difficult.
Xu Ning couldn't resist summoning Tun Tun again, and sat on its back as they slowly swam into the depths of the thick fog.
"That's more like it. After all, this place isn't for the living. Ghosts never even touch the ground."
Just as Xu Ning uttered the words "ghost," a faint light suddenly appeared in the thick fog in front of him.
It was a thin wall of light, transparent and bright, and on the other side of the wall, many figures stood indistinctly.
If an ordinary person saw this, they would probably have run away long ago, but when Xu Ning saw this scene, he clapped his hands and laughed happily.
"So this is it. No wonder there was no one around all the way here, yet they've all gathered here."
As they approached the wall of light, the shadowy figures became clearer, revealing that they were ghosts gathered beneath it. Among these ghosts, there were even two living people standing.
"They... really have no other choice?" the boy asked the girl beside him, his voice filled with sorrow.
“We don’t have much time or preparation to send them to where they need to go, and the ley lines of the Night God’s Kingdom are already severely damaged, so its ability to receive souls seems to be malfunctioning…”
The girl shook her head slightly. "The souls that couldn't return to the Kingdom of Night Gods are those that overflowed from the Kingdom of Night Gods after being assimilated by the Abyss, and there are also many souls that don't belong to Nata. They are not only numerous but also chaotic, making it difficult for us to send them all back. And most importantly, they don't have time anymore..."
The boy paused for a moment, then asked, "What would happen if they stayed here any longer?"
"They can only wander helplessly, their existence gradually fading until they disappear completely."
"Can I be like that person...?"
As soon as the boy said those words, the girl angrily put her hands on her hips and started cursing.
“Ororen, you are not like that person. That method is not suitable for you... If you think you can do that kind of thing just because you've awakened some kind of hero attribute, I...I…”
The girl seemed to want to say something harsh, but she couldn't think of any threatening words for a long time.
Xu Ning smiled and squeezed past the wall of light, then spoke to the two of them in surprise.
"If you don't mind, I can take these wandering spirits away. I happen to have quite a bit of space at home."
The girl seemed surprised that Xu Ning had passed through the light wall so easily. She looked him up and down in astonishment until she saw the gourd of wine in his hand, and then asked uncertainly, "Is... Lord Saigong?"
Xu Ning paused in his drink, "Oh, you actually know me? You...you're the...that one from the Master of Smoke Mystery..."
“Citralli. I am Citralli. I had the honor of seeing you once five hundred years ago, and I still remember the gourd in your hand.”
Xu Ning couldn't tell for a moment whether she had seen him once or his gourd once.
“It’s clear you want to save these wandering souls, but you don’t have a good way to do it. If there aren’t any souls here that you particularly care about keeping, then I’ll have to take them away.”
The boy named Orlan seemed to distrust Xu Ning, who had suddenly appeared there.
"How are you going to take them away? Or rather, where are you going to take them?"
"Wherever you take it, it's better than slowly wasting away at this border until your soul is completely destroyed, isn't it?"
Xu Ning shook the wine gourd in his hand, "Of course, don't think I would do anything bad to them. I'm just giving them a new place to stay."
Orloren and his grandmother, the young girl Seth Lari, learned many useful spells.
But when he focused his gaze on the gourd in Xu Ning's hand, he found that he couldn't see through what was inside the gourd at all. Even his ability to see the color of other people's souls was ineffective on Xu Ning.
"Oh? Interesting. Little guy, you're actually using the Smoke Master's secret technique to spy on my soul? Do you think I'll let this go to waste? I'll take a look at you too... Hmm? Your soul state seems familiar. I feel like I've seen it on some old friend before?"
