Chapter 54 What exactly is it?
Chapter 54 What exactly is it?
This is an indescribable, immense terror.
Xia Fa clearly sensed that in the far, far distance of the wasteland, a colossal figure as majestic as a mountain suddenly flashed for a fleeting moment, like a screen displaying erratic electrical currents.
In that instant, perhaps because of the electric current covering his brain, he was able to see it clearly.
It was that unknown being that looked like a heavily armored knight from the era of cold weapons, the being whose mere appearance caused a sudden change in the realm of ghosts, elevating it two ranks.
At this moment, its size was not at all like the mere five meters described by Glenn and the others, but rather... nearly a thousand meters tall!
It was wielding a heavy halberd, and its full-body armor, covered with vine-patterned designs, was covered with severed limbs and remains. Blood and flesh flowed along the patterns on the armor, and in some places, they had congealed due to their stickiness.
At that very moment, this unknown being suddenly turned and glanced at Xia Fa!
It was a gaze as indifferent as a god looking down upon humanity, yet it also carried the playful amusement of a giant examining insects.
This gaze contained no hostility, no scrutiny, and wasn't even intended for observation. It seemed that it was simply attracted by the commotion and glanced at the scene casually.
However, it was this gaze that made Xia Fa suddenly feel as if his soul had frozen, while his blood was rapidly boiling. He almost couldn't suppress the feeling that his body was about to explode, just like Brar's.
The flow of time suddenly slowed down, and the burning sensation in his heart pulse surged out like a volcanic eruption, with currents almost forming a continuous arc in his spine and coccyx... All the mysterious forces of unknown origin within his body went berserk at this moment, converging towards his brain.
It seems... that they wanted to help him withstand that gaze, preventing his soul from collapsing and his body from shattering!
Boom-!
Like the sound of a giant bronze bell being struck, a booming sound rose in his mind. Xia Fa immediately felt that both the burning sensation and the strange electric current were rapidly reduced by counteracting the effects of that gaze.
Soon, the burning sensation subsided, the strange electric current vanished, and then it was... his mental energy's turn!
His mental strength was also rapidly decreasing, just like the water in the glass. Fortunately, the effect of that gaze was about to be completely negated.
Finally, just when his mental strength was reduced to a sliver, like the last drop of water in a glass, and he was about to lose control completely, the influence of that gaze was completely negated.
"call--!"
"call--!"
"call--!"
Xia Fa gasped for breath, sweat pouring down his forehead, his eyes glazed over, and he looked like he was about to collapse.
His mental energy was drained, causing his brain to feel as if it were being gripped tightly by a giant hand, twisting and pulling desperately. The extreme pain was like a red-hot awl piercing every part of his mind.
His entire body was covered in small bumps that quickly swelled up and then disappeared, as if countless rats were scurrying about under his skin.
His legs suddenly gave way, and he was about to fall to the ground. Xia Fa gritted his teeth and, with the last bit of willpower in his body, straightened up.
All of this happened in the blink of an eye. The unknown being, who resembled a heavily armored knight from the era of cold weapons, had already withdrawn its gaze and even disappeared.
It seemed that it had only glanced at it casually.
However, that one glance almost cost Xia Fa his life.
The teammates immediately noticed that something was wrong with Xiafa. Without any instructions from Banli, Fensni immediately put her hands together in an "O" shape and aimed them at Xiafa.
Suddenly, a beautiful song came from her throat, and her slightly curly white hair fluttered up, shimmering with a faint pink light.
Wisps of steam rose from her mouth, and after passing through the "O" shape of her hands, they were also covered with a layer of pink light.
Immediately, all the moisture enveloped Xiafa's head.
A refreshing coolness seeped into his brain through his scalp, and Xia Fa immediately felt the pulling and twisting sensation ease. As if in response, weak, tingling currents of electricity forcefully emerged from his tailbone, also beginning to soothe his nearly depleted spirit.
Feeling the faint electric current, Xia Fa still felt a lingering fear.
Without a doubt, that unknown being, who resembled a heavily armored knight from the era of cold weapons, exhausted all the reserves of this strange current within him with just a casual glance!
Therefore, only a tiny, weak electrical current can be generated in his coccyx to help him recover.
Fortunately, the effect of this strange electric current was extremely powerful. After all, it had helped him easily withstand and hear the babbling of the Outer Gods. Therefore, with the help of both Fensny and the strange electric current, Shafa's mind quickly recovered.
His breathing gradually calmed down, and the sweat on his forehead stopped. He was finally able to stand up straight.
"Xiafa..."
Chestnut suddenly called out to him, her large, clear eyes filled with heartache as she looked at him.
Glenn, Ethan, and Fensny also looked at Shafa with admiration.
Clearly, they all misunderstood, thinking that Xia Fa had to desperately drain his spirit and unleash elemental expansion to kill the King of the Giant Jaw Beasts and save everyone, which led to his almost out-of-control state just now.
Seeing everyone's gazes, Xia Fa finally realized what was happening.
He had been thinking about how to fake having his mental energy drained, but unexpectedly, because of the gaze of that unknown entity, his mental energy was indeed drained, leaving only a negligible little bit.
Therefore, his teammates and even the demigods are probably even more convinced that he is an extraordinary descendant of Baal and possesses the talent of elemental expansion...
"It's alright. As you all know, I am an extraordinary descendant of the Baal behemoth. Not only is my mental strength naturally extremely stable, but I also recover very quickly. Don't worry about me."
Xia Fa forced a smile to comfort his teammates.
However, he couldn't stop thinking about that gaze from just now.
You should know that the mysterious electric current in his spine and tailbone only needs to be a single pulse to make him ignore the oppressive feeling of a demigod.
In fact, just one word would be enough to allow him to easily withstand the insane babbling of the Outer Gods who cannot approach the real world when signing the secret contract, and even make him hear those babblings clearly.
However, just now, hundreds of strange electric currents covered his brain, and he couldn't even withstand a single glance from the unknown being in the form of a heavily armored knight.
Moreover, it wasn't a hostile or scrutinizing gaze; it was just a fleeting glance.
Xia Fa felt even more terrified than when that gaze was about to descend upon him.
This unknown entity that looks like a heavily armored knight... what exactly is it?
Its status is clearly higher than that of the Outer Gods, even much higher!
However, it is impossible to say that it is a god above the outer gods, that is, one of the nine great gods of this world.
Just as Banli and others had previously speculated, when they were chasing it or sensing its location, they had done countless things that resembled "blasphemy." Let alone whether it was a god or an outer god, even if it was just a god, Banli and others would have lost control long ago.
So, what exactly is it?
Xia Fa felt his thoughts becoming chaotic. Despite having a thousand and one ideas, he really didn't know where to begin his reasoning and guessing.
All I can say is that right now, besides desperately wanting to figure out what he himself is, he also wants to know what this unknown entity in the form of a heavily armored knight is!
After all, this is arguably the biggest threat to him right now!
Just as Xia Fa was pondering, suddenly, Fensini exclaimed in surprise.
The exclamation was not tinged with any negative emotion, but rather filled with surprise, pointing towards the corpse of the King of Jawed Beasts.
"Look, it's...it's...!"
