chapter-169
Meanwhile, there was some commotion going on in the Twilnola Isle as people began to report people who had visited the Wailing Hills and never came back even after half a day.
Some even tried to take a look at the hills from afar, but all they could see was a foggy expanse that completely hid the Wailing Hills, giving off quite a creepy vibe.
Because of all this, some tourists even began to believe that the ominous rumors about evil spirits preying on humans were true.
So they couldn't help but create a commotion and report their people missing.
However, a representative from the Fujo Clan came forward and said that there was nothing to worry about as of now since it was all part of the attraction.They said that since this was a rare occurrence where the Wailing Hills would undergo some changes, especially the surroundings, they had arranged for a full course tour for the tourists who visited it and that no more tourists would be allowed to visit the hills till the others come back after their long tour.
They also said that cell reception wouldn't work in the Wailing Hills anyway and told the relatives and friends of the tourists to not panic.
However, no one knew that the Fujo Clan representative himself was sweating as he tried to reassure the tourists since he knew that that the truth was nowhere close to what he said and that they or the world might very well be in danger..
The only reason they chose to hide the truth was to not only prevent panic but also because they had faith in Nyissa and her followers to save them all.

Meanwhile,
Nyissa, Viktor, and the others managed to get close to the burned mansion."This is it...Now use those witch bombs or something you guys have to distract the Ranars at the front," Viktor said as his eyes began to get colder as he stared at the mansion.
Nyissa looked at Ayana and nodded. Ayana nodded and took out some black-colored balls which were big enough to fit in one's palms.
However, Viktor noticed Ayana's hands were trembling visibly and asked, "Are you okay? It looks like the cold is affecting you, even your friends."
Viktor saw that her friends seemed to have more visible tremors over their bodies compared to Ayana though only Nyissa seemed to be alright and unaffected, which wasn't a surprise to him.
Viktor was physically feeling perfectly alright though mentally, he was feeling slight pricking sensations which came and went occasionally.
"I-I am fine...thanks…" Ayana said with a stifled smile though she inwardly was worried about how long more she could last in this hell.
Nyissa, who was surveying the surroundings, suddenly turned her head around to look at Ayana and her friends, "Everyone one of you quickly drink the tonic to rejuvenate your Odic Force. Next time don't wait for me to drink it. No matter how precious things are, your lives are more precious."
Everyone's expressions became relieved as they took out transparent vials with transparent liquid that looked no different than water but had a certain gleam to it, making it look a bit mystifying.
Viktor wondered if this Odic Force she was talking about was some kind of energy they were harnessing to use their magical abilities.
He closely observed them and saw that they were all feeling better within seconds after drinking that special water.
Ayana, who was now feeling way better, looked at the two black bombs in her hand, "Two should be enough…" Ayana mumbled as she threw both of them into the air, which shot into the air like a rocket and followed a parabolic path before exploding near the shore where the black rivers were boiling hot.
Viktor blinked his eyes, wondering how these bunch of humans were so powerful and was curious about their mystic arts.
*BOOOOM!!*
The sound of the bombs exploding echoed in the region, sending off powerful shockwaves that even created waves in the river.
*HAARHGG!!*
All the Ranars immediately rushed towards the sound like a frenzied mob though none of them approached the spot where the bombs exploded since hot black vapors were emanating from the surface.
"Now!" Nyissa, who had already drawn a small teleportation circle, immediately took advantage of the Ranars distracted state to teleport themselves to the front of the mansion.
The six of them quickly entered the mansion, which had a broken-down door, letting them enter easily.
Viktor was feeling bad vibes the moment he appeared before the mansion and entered this, while some unpleasant memories also surfaced.
Little Ghost was closely following them though she seemed to be very vigilant about her surroundings.
However, just as they entered, except Viktor, the others were surprised to come upon an empty and burned hall with two stairs leading to a mezzanine.
Viktor was surprised to see that everything looked the same as when he left this mansion after setting fire to it.
"Maybe we should go to the upper floor…" Nyissa said as she raised her head and looked at the mezzanine.
However, everyone's eyes widened when they suddenly felt the ground below them giving away and found themselves falling through a large opening that was pitch black and seemed as cold as the deepest abyss.
"AAH!!" Ayana and her friends began to panic as they fell while Viktor tried to try and claw at the walls to latch himself onto them though they were too far for him.
Nyissa frowned and immediately activated her Odic Vision as she and the others continued to fall.
However, just as she realized what was going on, all of them crashed onto an icy stone floor, making them let out groans except Viktor and Nyissa, who were able to make a perfect landing.
Viktor landed on his legs and didn't make him feel pain in the slightest while Nyissa levitated herself just before she touched the ground.
However, everything was pitch black, making any normal person unable to see what was going on.
Viktor was about to activate his night vision when…
