The abyss fell into a dreadful silence, as if the moment Ivan’s soul was reclaimed, Pablo felt a gaze fixated on him and Lilly.
The head had also vanished, and the peculiar mist loomed like a shroud over the city, weighing heavily upon them.
“Ghost Abyss is connected to a specific location in the mortal world. Let’s find that exit and leave from there,” Pablo declared.
Lilly was momentarily taken aback. “But what about Polly?”
Now, only Polly remained behind!
Pablo replied, “The floating bones mark the uppermost layer of the abyss. Remember when we fell? You could still see the floating bones in the beginning, and eventually, the bones descended along with us.”
Lilly’s eyes brightened. “So, the intersection between Ghost Abyss and the mortal world is on the upper level of the abyss?”
Pablo nodded. “That’s right. When you reach the upper floor, try to contact Polly first.”
There was another unspoken sentence lingering in Pablo’s mind…
If you find Polly, let’s leave together.
If Polly could not be found, they would have no choice but to exit first. If it came down to it, he would prioritize protecting Lilly.
As for Polly… Pablo believed it would not be so easy for him to perish, being a competent soul collector.
Lilly nodded resolutely. “Okay.”
“To ascend, we must penetrate through this layer of eerie fog…”
Lilly nodded confidently. “That’s easy!”
She extended her hand from the Palace of the Ruler of Hell and directly absorbed the strange mist above their heads!
The Palace of the Ruler of Hell stretched, elongating to its limits. The space within was nearly filled to capacity.
The 300 square feet where King Libra was had been compressed to a mere 10 square feet. At this moment, King Libra could not even muster a curse.
With the mist gathered, the airspace above their heads cleared, revealing the dark abyss and the cliff walls that stretched like the night sky.
“Let’s go, now!” Pablo exclaimed.
He lifted Lilly, effortlessly throwing Ivan over his shoulder with his free hand.
With a slight leap, they harnessed the strength of the abyss and cliffs, ascending upwards.
The depth of the abyss remained unknown, and the rules at its bottom differed from those of the underworld. Unless one became part of the mist, it was challenging to fly straight ahead.
Floating on the bottom required a significant amount of energy; ghosts could effortlessly hover above the abyss, but not in this realm.
After breaking through the abyss’s bottom, they encountered a different set of rules in the middle of the abyss. When they had fallen, they were unable to halt their descent or even float.
Thus, they had to rely on the abyss and cliffs for momentum.
However, despite Pablo propelling himself with the assistance of the cliff, layers of strange fog soon surrounded them.
Pablo spotted a cavity on the cliff and intended to rest there momentarily.
Yet, at that very moment, a human head suddenly appeared!
It had been so silent that not even Pablo noticed its presence!
“Damn!” Pablo silently cursed.
The appearance of a human head at such a time was not a good sign!
However, in the next instant, Lilly pulled out a frying pan and sent the head flying with a resounding bang!
“Whoosh!”
The head traced a graceful parabola before vanishing into the mist with a metallic clang.
Pablo was astonished.
Lilly blinked innocently and asked, “Master, what’s wrong?”
Pablo sighed inwardly, “Nothing.”
The Palace of the Ruler of Hell continued to absorb the strange fog, and this time, it reached its maximum capacity as well.
Lilly sensed that the Palace of the Ruler of Hell seemed to be saying, “I can’t consume any more! I’m really full!”
Lilly grew anxious. How could this be?
“Compress!” she commanded firmly.
The Palace of the Ruler of Hell: “…”
It’s packed! It’s packed!
In a hurry, Lilly stuffed King Libra into a crevice.
But it still was not enough!
Lilly exclaimed with urgency, “Just let it out as gas, the useless eerie fog!”
It was as if she was extracting spiritual energy from the fog!
With that thought in mind, the Palace of the Ruler of Hell suddenly roared, its spiritual energy circulating within, emitting bursts of dark light!
“Puff!”
The Palace of the Ruler of Hell let out a “fart”, expelling all the waste gas, leaving behind only the useful spiritual energy.
The corner of Pablo’s mouth twitched—he never expected the Palace of the Ruler of Hell to undergo such an upgrade!
After the upgrade, the interior space of the Palace of the Ruler of Hell doubled in size, and the entire palace brimmed with dark light, exuding a majesty never seen before in its cold demeanor!
It floated in the void of the abyss, rising and falling.
Lilly was immediately pleasantly surprised. She had a feeling that if she asked Palace of the Ruler of Hell to fart again, the Palace of the Ruler of Hell could be upgraded to be used as an elevator.
They continued to ascend using the “elevator” created by the Palace of the Ruler of Hell.
“Keep absorbing, keep absorbing!” Lilly urged.
Taking advantage of the mist, Pablo was carried away by the Palace of the Ruler of Hell, tiptoeing his way up.
Suddenly, something gripped his foot.
Pablo glanced downward, and his heart skipped a beat.
A small, bluish-black hand clutched his ankle, and the head that had been sent flying by Lilly’s pan reappeared.
Scarlet tears streamed from its eyes, and a strange voice emanated from its throat, pleading, “Hey… take me with you… take me with you!”
With a swift swing of Pablo’s axe, the hand was severed in two.
The head tumbled down, but the detached hand stump still clung to his ankle.
Pablo furrowed his brow, preparing to kick away the hand.
However, in an instant, a sudden transformation occurred. A dense layer of objects appeared on the cliff below—it turned out to be a multitude of human heads.
“Yee…”
“Take me with you…”
The dense mass of human heads emitted an eerie cry that sent shivers down the spine.
The closest head flew up and sank its teeth into Pablo’s leg.
