Demon Hunter and His Cabin
Chapter 711 - Chapter 711 Chapter 588 Eternal Darkness_2

Chapter 711: Chapter 588 Eternal Darkness_2 Chapter 711: Chapter 588 Eternal Darkness_2 He suddenly rose from the ground, using his severed hands to support his battered body, his gaze intensively fixated on the stone in Roger’s hand.

Gradually, the blankness in his eyes began to fade, and his vision became clear.

“Red Sparrow, where’s Red Sparrow?”

Yuan Guanghai looked around, but it wasn’t until after a while that he seemed to comprehend the situation at hand, his gaze falling upon Roger’s face.

“Is it you?!”

“I didn’t die?” Yuan Guanghai looked down at his body, as some memories began to reemerge, “So that’s how it is.”

“How come you’re here?” Roger asked with a tinge of surprise.

“That’s a question I should be asking you, after all, this is land that living beings are reluctant to set foot upon.”

“This is the Land of Eternal Darkness, a place where monsters and ghosts run wild, the destiny of living beings, the Resentful Souls.”

“What appears here is but an insubstantial clump of energy. If it weren’t for the Essence Blood on your hands stimulating my soul, I’m afraid I would soon merge with this world.”

“Entering the belly of other beings or being absorbed by the earth beneath us.”

He sighed, his eyes filled with sorrow and despair.

“I really don’t know whether to thank you or to hate you.”

“You’ve restored my memory, but some memories…”

He cradled his head in pain.

“Why…why me?”

“I won’t accept this!”

With a roar of rage, Yuan Guanghai underwent a drastic transformation.

A sinister power seeped from the soil into Yuan Guanghai’s body, and his wounds healed at an incredibly fast rate, yet the regenerated flesh sparked a transformation in Yuan Guanghai.

Roger seemed to grasp something, though he was not clear about the principles of this world, the souls brought here were merely a pure form of energy.

All the power, identity, and memories they once possessed had vanished, in this extraordinary process of consumption and assimilation, they would become part of this world.

It was merely a coincidence that Roger arrived here, and the stone he held contained the Essence Blood belonging to Yuan Guanghai.

It was under these exceptional circumstances that Yuan Guanghai, shortly after arriving in this world, regained his memories stimulated by the Essence Blood.

Roger was unsure how long this state would last, and he could guess from the recent transformation that continuing the consumption and assimilation, the human aspect of the memories in this man’s body would become more and more diluted.

Until completely replaced.

Becoming the so-called…thing.

A thought struck him, and Roger suddenly had an idea.

“Due to some unknown reason, there was an accident during the transfer, and I was brought to this world, along with my companion, a woman.”

“Do you have any way to help me find her?”

Roger tentatively asked.

“Why should I help you?”

Yuan Guanghai smiled, his expression slightly ferocious, “If it wasn’t for you, Red Sparrow and I might have already left the jurisdiction of the Sword Pavilion with the help of the Tengu Shrine.”

“We would have had our own life, would have cared for our child…”

“Even if returning to reality meant a shortened life span, having each other for the rest of our days would’ve been enough!”

Yuan Guanghai’s expression was complex.

“But you should know that being together was a mistake.”

Roger spoke.

“You know?!”

“You know it all?!”

Yuan Guanghai’s eyes widened, and from them, Roger saw anger and an undeniable shame.

“You and that woman are together, I should have figured!”

“No.” Roger shook his head.

“I haven’t read that letter, nor do I know what Miyanori Chiyoko wrote to you in it.”

Roger looked at Yuan Guanghai.

“The truth is what Red Sparrow herself said after your death.”

“She knew the real relation between you two, she always knew.”

“What!!”

Struck by lightning, Yuan Guanghai’s mind went blank, a torrent of memories surfacing, his emotions so complex that he couldn’t speak.

“How…how is she now?”

Yuan Guanghai’s voice turned hoarse.

“Can you help me find my companion?”

Roger suppressed the urgency in his heart.

“In such a place, she is in great danger alone!”

Silence lingered for quite a while before Yuan Guanghai finally replied, “There’s only a little bit of hope, and that is the life force on her body.”

“Here is the Land of Eternal Darkness, where the life force of humans is like fireflies in the dark. I cannot ascertain her exact location but I can at least guide you in a general direction.”

“What are we waiting for? Let’s get moving at once!”

Roger said impatiently.

Yuan Guanghai’s expression, however, remained calm.

“Give it up, you won’t succeed. Perhaps by the time you arrive, you’ll only find a corpse, no, not even a corpse will remain.”

“The best outcome would be seeing a twisted monster that has merged with her corpse and remains.”

“Besides, even if you find her, what then?”

“You have no way to leave this place.”

“The longer you stay, the more your life force will be eroded, and the closer you’ll come to those things you once found repugnant.”

“Stop struggling, give up,” Yuan Guanghai said.

“You’re wasting time.”

Roger’s gaze was resolute.

“Guide me, and I’ll tell you everything you want to know, and even more!”

Yuan Guanghai’s gaze flickered for a moment, as if he thought of something, and finally nodded. “Follow me!”

Yuan Guanghai’s state at the time was very strange, neither a Spiritual Body nor a monster, with the power of Eternal Darkness constantly affecting him.

Having lost his original powers, Roger had no choice but to speed up with Yuan Guanghai in tow.

They hadn’t gone far before a group of monsters lunged at Roger.

“It’s the life force on you. Although it will attract some covetous beings, your presence can also alleviate a great deal of pressure for your companion.”

“And increase her chances of survival.”

Effortlessly slaying a few of the monsters that pounced, Roger faced an increase in the monsters’ strength, and although he could easily handle them, it was a waste of too much time.

He ran forward a distance again, but at that moment, Yuan Guanghai’s gaze suddenly sharpened.

“It’s gone, the life force of your companion has disappeared.” He sighed deeply.

“Continue to guide me!”

Roger roared lowly.

“Don’t you understand what I’m saying?”

“Give up, your companion’s life force has ceased, she is dead!”

Roger’s eyes turned toward the distance, his heart pounding rapidly; he believed Higurashi Chika must still be alive–it had to be Uma, it just had to be!

Roger knew this was only the most ideal speculation, but he had to convince himself, to believe that Higurashi Chika was still alive.

Without such hope, what he might ultimately find could well be just a corpse.

“Tell me the last direction in which her life force disappeared!”

Roger’s voice surged, unintentionally laced with a bit of Intimidation in his tone.

Yuan Guanghai’s body swayed slightly.

“Fine, since you insist on seeing for yourself, I’ll take you there!”

As they pressed on, the pressure on Roger surged; he possessed Fourth Tier mid-level Spiritual Power Fluctuations, and under normal circumstances, facing the oppression of a powerful aura, low-tier creatures would subconsciously choose to keep their distance.

Yet, the life force emanating from Roger was like a drug, with the monsters crazily swarming towards him.

Without any intention of lingering in battle, Roger cut through all obstacles.

Unknowingly, the air of slaughter on his face grew ever more intense, and the reddish glow flowing on the Sword of Destiny could not be dissolved away.

“GET OUT OF MY WAY!”

Just then, an angry roar came from behind Roger.

Turning his head, he saw a towering figure over three meters tall, with a red body and double horns on the head, wearing only a rag around the waist, charging towards him like a bull.

Similar in build and with greater strength, as soon as Roger set eyes on the other, the monster also noticed Roger.

“So it’s you?”

“The guy Lord Kurokawa has put a bounty on is actually you!”

The monster’s red face stretched into a ghastly smile as he casually grabbed a spider-like creature by his side.

Splat!

His thick palm tightened and with a single pull, he ripped the spider’s head off and stuffed it into his own mouth.

Crunch, crunch.

“Perfect, let’s settle all grudges at once!”

This monster was the Red Prajna that Roger and Higurashi Chika had encountered while on a mission together, except back then what they faced had only been an avatar.

The entity before him was undoubtedly much more powerful.
