Under the guidance of Big Nose, Hero bypassed the rugged mountain roads, dangerous areas, and the puppet monsters hiding in dark corners who were always ready to attack strangers.
These puppet monsters, which were randomly placed throughout the city, entered this upside-down world through the gaps by chance through the movement of the stone slabs.
But without the restraint of the lord, they pose a strong threat to Hero.
So much so that almost all of Holo's soul energy was consumed in maintaining soul perception, creating illusions, and suspended mountain climbing.
Finally, after many difficulties and obstacles, we reached the ‘foot of the mountain’.
The moment I climbed the mountain, my tense nerves finally relaxed a little.
"With my current strength, I have to hide here and there like a mouse to climb up. If I get entangled by those puppet monsters, the woman will definitely find out."
Holo hid under a thick tree and looked back at the 'top of the mountain' below.
Although the height of the entire mountain is not as high as Mount Everest in its previous life, it is still much higher than most mountains with hilly terrain.
Fortunately, the gravity changed in the second half of the mountain, making it easier for him to climb. Otherwise, he would have to rest midway to recover some soul energy before he could climb up.
On the inverted trapezoidal mountain, where he stood was hidden in the canopy of trees, making it difficult to spot even from the outside.
Hero took a few breaths, shook some of his limbs, and relaxed the physical fatigue caused by the exhaustion of soul energy.
"Where to go next? We have reached the top here, and there is only a piece of nothingness above." Hero looked around and found nothing unusual within the range of his perception.
Asking the depressed Big Nose, Hero had more doubts in his mind.
Along the way, the corpses of aboriginal people were everywhere, as well as mindless but aggressive puppets.
Even some remaining strange creations can be seen.
But I have never seen anything similar to Big Nose.
'unique……'
This is not a good adjective among magicians.
It means that there is a series of troubles hidden behind this creation.
Just like Yuphiel, who has authority, if the swampland had not been included in the jurisdiction and monitoring of the [Moon Tower], she would definitely be separated and studied by the magicians in the middle level of the tower.
The incomplete authority is looked down upon by the upper class bosses, but it is just fine for them.
And the big snot in front of him... Holo had a vague feeling that he couldn't control it.
The ugly face with a big nose showed exhaustion, and even the Erha-like eyes became dull.
After being stimulated by Holo's twisting vortex, he could only brace himself and look around.
"Goo-chi! Chi-chi!"
"That's it? But there's nothing here."
Hero frowned and poked with his spear, shrinking his senses and focusing on the surroundings, wanting to explore deeper.
But no matter how much he explored, he didn't find anything strange.
There is not even a trace that distinguishes it from trees and grass.
Have the traces of the birth of Big Nose been worn away by time?
In desperation, Holo could only put down the big nose.
"Come down and look for where it is."
Without the control of the tentacles, Hero also contracted the twisting vortex, and Big Nose suddenly felt a lot more relaxed. His whole body was limp into a thin layer like liquid, and his ugly face was pressed tightly against the ground.
Just when Holo thought it couldn't be found, Big Snot suddenly disappeared.
It's like finding a leak.
With a whoosh, I was sucked in.
Hero quickly took two steps forward and came to the place where it disappeared.
"Inverted...breath."
Soul perception is like a hand. When you grab it, the obvious breath flows through your fingers like water or sand.
"How many layers does this ghost place have? What are the characteristics of the big snot? It actually emits an upside-down aura?"
See clues disappear right under your nose.
Anxious emotions suddenly filled his chest, which was beyond his awareness.
It cannot be answered with existing knowledge, nor can it be matched and applied to its own existing abilities.
In his irritation, he could only keep poking at the place where the big nose disappeared with a spear.
'Is this the only place we can go?'
Sensing that something was wrong with the host's mood, the eyes of the octopus cub above his head turned slightly red, and the tentacles he controlled began to dance wildly and disorderly.
Boo hoo~
Just when Hero was about to give up the exploration and avoid Olga who was following him, the big snot popped up from the hole he had poked.
"Guji?"
That expression seemed to be asking Hero, why don't you come in.
Seeing Big Snot coming back, Holo's hope was a little brighter again.
"Big snot! Let's perform again." Holo said seductively, shaking a few drops of blood from his fingers.
Blood spilled on its surface and was absorbed instantly, and the translucent body gradually turned pink.
The mouth on the face highlighted by the big snot is just a decoration. In fact, every part of its body can play a devouring role.
The big nose that tasted the sweetness dotted the ugly face.
This time, Hero's attention was completely focused on it.
Perceptual lock.
Whoosh~!
See clearly!
It's not the inverted aura that comes with it.
Rather, it communicates this space through some kind of medium.
It’s just this medium…
Boo hoo~!
The big snot came out again and looked at Holo expectantly.
"Can you take me in?" Holo stroked Big Nose's body with his hand and asked with a glimmer of hope.
After struggling to get to the bottom of the pit a few times, Big Nose raised his head and looked at him in confusion.
"It won't work if you bring it to outsiders' eyes."
Hope was dashed again.
The big snot jumped out of the pit, clinging to the hem of Hero's robe and climbing up.
Hero thought it was hungry and wanted to eat more, but it stopped at its waist.
That location was exactly where he put the flea skin bag.
What attracts it?
Meat?
If it was due to eating, it would have manifested itself long ago.
what is that?
Hero recalled carefully the items about Big Snot.
They are both products of the city...then they only have the wings of a baby bird.
The deformed baby bird that was transformed by the lord.
Those wings represent pollution.
Hero took out his wings.
One black and one white.
The deformed wings were only the size of his hand.
However, there is not a lot of pollution left on it.
"Can this thing take me in?"
Seeing the wings that he longed for, Big Nose felt an almost greedy impulse.
On that face, the mouth and nose are also wide open and closed.
This expression undoubtedly illustrates the effect of wings.
But Hero hesitated.
Follow what other magicians do.
This thing is used to make a pseudo-horcrux, or installed on other pseudo-horcruxes, so as to affect the magician.
But now...Hello doesn't have a suitable pseudo-horcrux on hand.
If you add it to yourself...
This is too weird.
He has always resisted the physical transformation in the tower.
I just didn't expect to escape the soul-changing technique in the system and fall on these two little wings.
The soul slowly touches these wings.
Just like the original scene of Byrne's Chickenfoot House.
Hero took off his outer robe and inserted the wings on his back shoulder blades.
Countless meat strands protruded from the ends of the wings and continued to drill under Hero's skin and flesh, preparing to connect to the bones.
