Chapter 623: Chapter 344: The Hero’s Identity, The Sword of the Hero!_1

The moment they entered the vanished territory, both Ivita and the Hearthstone Witch were plunged into darkness. To their horror, their vision was taken away, and everything around them was shrouded in darkness.

The Hearthstone Witch cried out in terror. "What kind of place is this? It even managed to rob the vision of a fourth-level witch like me the instant we arrived. This means that this area is deeply connected to the laws governing Cross Island."

Ivita frowned. "It might not have taken our vision; perhaps something has absorbed the light here."

"I’m using wizard’s vision, but all I can see is darkness. It seems that the issue is with our vision, not the environment."

"Try to feel for something nearby."

"Establish our location."

The Hearthstone Witch reached out, searching around. "It’s barren; I can’t feel anything. This place seems to be a wilderness."

"Ah~ Your Highness, I’ve fallen into someplace... shush~ something is attacking me..."

Ivita frowned, feeling troubled. He had not anticipated that the moment they set foot in the vanished territory, both their vision would be snatched away. They found themselves in an unknown location, and worse still, hidden monsters were there ready to attack.

He felt the air behind him flowing, but he knew instinctively that it was not the Hearthstone Witch, but some enemy within this vanished territory.

He heard fanatic yells.

"Foreigners are here, and they smell of fresh meat. We’ve been starving for sixty years. Let’s eat them."

"They seem to be blind just like us!"

"Shh! Since they cannot see us, they surely can hear us. Stop talking. Let’s kill them first. They are alive, their bodies surely full of vital elements."

The next moment, Ivita felt someone swinging an iron sword towards his back, but his cloak of destruction magic automatically reacted and blocked the enemy’s attack.

Then, the cloak of destruction magic opened up three Spheres of Destruction Magic, throwing off all that surrounded him.

He heard the sound of many things falling, as well as the sound of bones cracking.

Faded green spots of light then appeared in the boundless darkness. They poured into his soul world, strengthening his soul palace.

Confusion crossed Ivita’s face. Could killing these creatures harvest soul energy?

Before Ivita could figure it out, he heard a voice by his ear. It was the voice of the frog princess who had guided him and the Hearthstone Witch into the portal at Thunder Fang Cliff.

[My dear intruder, have you noticed that you can’t see anything? This is the darkness created by my despair sixty years ago, a darkness that envelops the lost territory, making you and the pirates unable to see anything. The darkness has decayed the pirates’ bodies, turning the lesser ones into a creature called ’Carrion Monster.’]

[Now, please, follow my voice~]

[I will lead you to find the light, and guide you through my past despair.]

[What you’ve gained from killing the ’Carrion Monsters’ is the ceremonial energy from a ritual carried out sixty years ago. I would very much like to tell you everything that happened sixty years ago all at once, but if I do that, you would have to bear the burden too soon.]

[For now, trust me and follow my voice.]

[Forward ten steps, two steps to the left...]

Ivita furrowed his brow. As he couldn’t see, he had to follow the sound of the voice. However, if the voice’s master—the Frog Princess—had ill intentions, she could lead him and the Hearthstone Witch into mortal danger.

This indeed was an issue of trust.

Presumably, the voice’s master had noticed this as well.

When Ivita mused over this, the power of the six demons suppressed in the dungeons beneath Soul Palace’s foundation within his Soul World began to behave strangely. This power flowed into the black pyramid in the dungeon and then, under Ra’s divine guidance, turned into six pillars of soul light, raging into the sky of the Soul World.

In the real world, a black and gold eye appeared on Ivita’s forehead—an eye like a third eye.

With the help of the Eye of the Demon, Ivita was able to vaguely see the darkness. Although the images were blurry, he could indeed capture some visuals.

Ivita said, "I didn’t expect that suppressing the demon would not only enhance my Soul Palace but also bring about a secondary magic—The Eye of the Demon. Its ability is incredibly comprehensive, much like an extraordinary organ constructed through spells, enabling me to see a lot of things that were previously invisible."

The primary function of this eye was to capture emotions.

Through the Eye of the Demon, Ivita saw that he was surrounded by an emotion called despair. This emotion came from the Frog Princess.

The utter despair she had felt sixty years ago when she was trapped with no way out, and even her own father had betrayed her.

Ivita continued to follow the Frog Princess’s voice, while the Hearthstone Witch screamed in panic from the pit. "Your Highness, she didn’t mention how to climb out of this deep pit. Don’t leave me. I..."

The Hearthstone Witch angrily yelled at the sky. "This is discrimination! Why won’t you tell me how to climb out of this deep pit! Are you just trying to make His Highness come rescue you?"
