Vile Evil Hides Under The Veil
chapter-1055

Eren's vision was blocked by a dense amount of fog when he used the spatial tunnel to get to its other side.

The butcher couldn't even use his mana sense to navigate because the fog was interfering with his senses. So he used his soul sense and felt his surroundings.

He felt the void he was surrounded by. And the bone-chilling atmosphere that had no origins.

There was a faint glow everywhere around him. But it would be difficult to locate the light source. Eren knew what he was supposed to do. He just kept on walking in a random direction after Alephee told him that the space was magically enchanted to get him where he was supposed to go.

The fog soon started to thin down and Eren's vision started getting clearer. When he took another step, the butcher looked like he had stepped out of a thin layer of the bubble surrounding him. He immediately felt as if he was not in Sansara World anymore. He felt like he had stepped into some ancient site that had not been visited by anyone for a long time.

Rocky terrain and a pitch-black sky suddenly opened up in front of his vision. Sulfuric air filled his lungs and the smell of wood burning entered his nostrils. The butcher could see a faint source of light in front of him. So he kept walking in that direction, hoping to find something of value in this barren land.

Murmurs and hushed speeches.

Eren started hearing faint noises of some creatures talking. But he couldn't understand their language at first. He felt that he had heard these murmurs in the past.

'That time when I first activated my Domain of Wrath…'

Eren associated the murmurs with the faint whispers he had heard at the time of binding the first Sin Series Ability to himself. He knew that he wouldn't be able to understand them in a normal way. So he ignored the whispers and kept walking.

The laws of space and time seemed very blurry to Eren in this place. He felt like only a minute had passed since he had entered this special zone within the Sansara World. But at the same time, he felt like he had traveled miles and miles of distance with each step.

'Hmm… I see something.'

Soon, Eren's vision was filled with colors. That's because he started seeing various sources of fire. Several fireball-like spheres floated in the air and acted as flame stars in the night sky. It looked like there was some kind of array pattern to their alignment.

The sound of whispers increased. Eren felt like people were standing behind him talking about something that was related to him.

Eren looked around himself and started to steer away from his main path. He decided to check out what kind of place he had been summoned to.

Lightning struck and Eren started moving in the 3 O'clock direction from his position. He found out that he was facing some difficulties using his movement spell. But since there was nothing he could do to prevent those difficulties, he ignored them altogether and focused on his approach.

The close combat expert soon found himself at the edge of a cliff. Apparently, he was climbing a mountain without realizing it.

'I… I can't see anything from up here.'

Eren thought to himself as he looked down standing at the absolute edge of the cliff. What he saw was pitch-black darkness. He also found out that he couldn't use his spells normally in this place either. So he retracted from his position and continued his journey.

Step. Step. Step.

The sound of Eren's footsteps started echoing in the surroundings even though no walls were reflecting the soundwaves to their source. He soon used his movement spell to approach a special zone within this mysterious place.

A demonic altar.

This altar was floating motionlessly in the air away from the mountain Eren had climbed. A large stone bridge connected this altar to the mountain's cliff at its highest altitude.

Eren walked up to the stone bridge and observed his surroundings. He could see that there was some form of giant statue waiting for him if he used the stone bridge and got to the other side of it.

The butcher took a long breath before stepping onto the stone bridge. He could immediately feel that the altar he was heading to was some kind of mysterious place that gathered an ethereal form of energy.

The altar took this energy from the Sansara World and gathered it near its sphere of influence. It felt like this energy was alive and breathing. As if it was anticipating the new visitor's actions.

Step. Step. Step.

Soon, the stone pillar Eren was walking on started shining with a faint orange and red light as the runic symbols over it began exuding luminescence. The floating flames began to light up as the butcher approached the end of the stone bridge.

A spacious platform was waiting to greet Eren as he reached the end of the stone bridge. This platform was circular and had a runic array inscribed on it. The shape of the array was akin to the symbol of a Pentastar inside a circle. Inside the circle were some more runic symbols and lines that didn't make sense to Eren, attesting to their otherworldly origin.

Eren started approaching the statue that was waiting for him on the other side of the array from where he had entered. As he stepped into the Pentastar array, he began to understand the whispers subconsciously.

The statue Eren was seeing was at least 50 meters tall. It had a humanoid form for the most part. This large statue had two prominent horns on its head and a mean-looking face. It had kept its mouth open and the tip of its tongue was sticking out of its mouth.

It was as if this winged statue was ready to devour anything in its sight.
