Chapter 381: Chapter 381: The Hlai People, Clemens
“Wait a second, why does this mountain look so familiar to me?” Skye muttered.

Johnnie immediately controlled his Void Sword and flew up to a higher place to take a closer look.

As soon as he did, he noticed something special about the mountain—it looked a lot like a huge, enlarged skull.

“Was your old body really that big?” Johnnie asked.

“No, just a bit bigger than normal.” Skye replied. “Johnnie, do you want to try putting this whole mountain into The Map of Heaven and Earth?”

“I feel like this mountain is actually my head.”

Inside The Map of Heaven and Earth, Skye’s body wasn’t very big at all. Compared to the mountain in front of them, it was like a slightly bigger ant.

But there wasn’t much else they could do, so Johnnie finally took out The Map of Heaven and Earth and gave it a try.

To his surprise, the whole process happened in an instant. The mountain in the sealed area was suddenly pulled into The Map of Heaven and Earth.

Soon, Skye’s excited voice rang out.”Yes! This is my head!”

Johnnie frowned. He still felt something strange—why had Skye’s head become so huge?

In the old stories from the East, Skye was known as a war god. Even after his head was cut off, he continued to fight with his nipples as eyes and his navel as a mouth. But no story ever mentioned his severed head being this big.

“Johnnie, guard me while I merge my head back!” Skye called out eagerly.

Johnnie had to put his doubts aside for now. He needed to make sure nothing went wrong while Skye fused his head back.

But just then, the Soul-Nurturing Banner suddenly appeared, and Red-Haired Ghost King Pax’s voice echoed out.”Master, the seal is starting to weaken. It won’t be long before it completely disappears.”

Johnnie took a deep breath. Once the seal disappeared, the Hlai people outside would definitely rush in all at once.

“Johnnie, Skye has already started to merge his head back. He won’t be long before he leaves The Map of Heaven and Earth and comes to help you.” said Aureon, the Human Emperor, sounding a bit excited.

Johnnie wasn’t worried. Right now, he just wanted to figure out what was really going on.

His gut told him that the Hlai people’s secret plan wasn’t as simple as it seemed.

Soon, as the seal weakened, Johnnie could slowly see the Hlai people gathered outside.

To his slight surprise, the ones outside were far more in number and much stronger than he had expected.

Ansel, who had only been at the level of a Lesser God before, now gave off an aura that was close to that of a Core God.

This level of power wasn’t a big threat to Johnnie, but it did make him feel something was off.

“Damn it, Johnnie! Where’s Skye’s head!” Ansel suddenly shouted, his old face filled with panic and anger.

Because now, the mountain inside the seal was gone, leaving only Johnnie, standing on his sword, floating alone in the air.

The Hlai people around him locked their eyes on Johnnie, fists clenched, bodies filled with battle spirit. They seemed ready to attack at the slightest command.

Johnnie stayed calm. He simply said, “Want to know? Why not wait for Skye to come out, and ask him yourself.”

“Skye? Don’t make me laugh. Only Skye’s head can’t bring him back!” Ansel sneered.

“Give me Skye’s head!” Ansel’s eyes burned with killing intent.

Seeing this, Johnnie wasn’t nervous at all. Instead, he felt curious.

To the Hlai people, Skye’s head was clearly very important. But why?

He looked closely at Ansel and suddenly noticed something strange — Ansel’s shadow was slowly growing larger.

It wasn’t just Ansel. The shadows of the other Hlai people were also changing. It was as if something was stirring inside their shadows, slowly waking up.

Ansel noticed Johnnie’s gaze and spoke coldly.”You won’t be leaving today.”

“Johnnie, you had your chance. If you don’t hand over Skye’s head now, I’ll break every bone in your body!”

Johnnie didn’t take the threat seriously at all. He just gave Ansel a light look, and in an instant, an invisible soul sword shot out from his eyes, flying straight toward Ansel like lightning.

“Ah! Ahhhhh!”

A sharp, painful scream filled the air. Ansel, who had been fine just a moment ago, suddenly clutched his head and screamed in agony. His body trembled as if he was suffering something unbearable.

Johnnie used his invisible soul attack, making Ansel feel the pain of his soul being torn apart.

[Soul Attack: Special Skill, cannot be upgraded. It uses Soul Power to form an invisible sword, which attacks the enemy’s soul through eye contact. The range and power depend on your Soul Intensity. Each use costs 5% of your Soul Power.]

In the realm of the dead, the soul sword made by Johnnie’s Soul Power could be seen by enemies.

But in the real world, his soul attack was very hard to detect. If you weren’t careful, you could be hit without even realizing it.

At this moment, Ansel was in terrible pain. He couldn’t even speak clearly. He kept drooling and his voice shook as he shouted to the other Hlai people:

“K… kill him! Huh, hurry!”

Before the Hlai people could act, Ansel’s shadow suddenly started to spread wildly, like a huge black cloth that quickly wrapped around him.

Ansel’s face was full of fear and panic. He struggled desperately while shouting in a desperate voice:

“No, Master Clemens… give me another chance!”

“The seal is broken. Skye’s head is in Johnnie’s hands. Give me another chance!”

Ansel’s shadow didn’t hesitate at all. It tightly wrapped around him, not letting go.

The Hlai people who had been about to attack Johnnie suddenly stopped. They looked at Ansel, who was being swallowed by his own shadow, with fear and confusion.

At this moment, the Hlai people looked like animals about to be slaughtered — they had no will to fight at all.

Johnnie furrowed his brow. He didn’t know why Ansel had changed like that, but his gut told him he couldn’t just stand by and do nothing.

So, the Evil-Slaying Thunder Sword suddenly appeared. It flew toward the shadow-covered Ansel at lightning speed.

Just as the sword was about to hit Ansel, the man suddenly disappeared in a strange way!

Johnnie quickly scanned the area and spotted a Hlai person whose shadow had become unusually thick.

Sure enough, the next moment, that Hlai person fell straight into the shadow on the ground and vanished.

At the same time, the shadow that had swallowed Ansel and the other Hlai person grew stronger and more dangerous.

Without hesitation, Johnnie let out a low shout.”Gifted Sword!”

[Gifted Sword: Special Skill, cannot be upgraded. When your mind, soul, and spirit are united with the sword, you can turn objects within a certain range into real flying swords to attack enemies. Each sword consumes 2 Mana points per second. The range, number of swords, and their sharpness and strength depend on your mental power and understanding of the Way of the Sword.]

In an instant, the white mist and strong winds in the sealed area stopped for a moment, then quickly formed into real flying swords. They trembled and let out sharp, deadly sounds.

The Intent of the Sword roared, and the swords, under Johnnie’s control, gathered in the air like a storm, rushing toward the strange shadow like a torrent of rain.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The swords hit the shadow, but they made sounds like they were hitting steel.

The sky suddenly turned dark. A storm of clouds appeared, thunder rolled, and lightning flashed.

Numerous Nine Heavens Tribulation Lightnings came down from the sky, striking the shadow on the ground at a terrifying speed.

-48764544

…

Several damage numbers appeared one after another. Johnnie watched the constantly changing numbers, and his heart suddenly sank.

Because his attack had triggered the Nine Heavens Tribulation Lightning, that meant the strange shadow was probably something like a Star Raider — just like the Bio-Humans, the Lizardmen, and the Six-Armed Demons.

Wicked Life!

The Hlai people were connected to Wicked Life?

Before Johnnie could think much more, he noticed the other Hlai people standing still. Their bodies suddenly started shaking, as if they had been hit by the Nine Heavens Tribulation Lightning. They all started coughing up blood.

Johnnie’s attack had only hit the strange shadow, but the surrounding Hlai people were also hurt.

Could it be…?

Johnnie narrowed his eyes and looked toward the place where the Lightning was slowly disappearing.

Sure enough, the strange shadow was still completely intact, right where it was.

“What kind of trick is this? It’s making the other Hlai people take the damage for it!” Johnnie thought, shocked. This new enemy was clearly more dangerous than he had expected.

He took a deep breath and immediately released Seth and the others from the Map of Heaven and Earth. He then activated the Divine Stele Guard Formation.

At that moment, the strange shadow suddenly floated up.

The shadows behind the Hlai people also started moving quickly.

Soon, a man about five meters tall came out of the shadow. His body was muscular, and his skin was covered in scars.

As the black shadow disappeared into his body, he slowly opened his eyes, looked around, and finally focused his gaze on Johnnie.

“Ant, give me what doesn’t belong to you.” the man said slowly.

Johnnie remembered the name Ansel had mentioned earlier. He asked cautiously, “Clemens?”
