Volume Dragon: Start by obtaining the Infinity Gems

Chapter 259 Living Dead

Black and white are the two purest colors in the world. When the two are interwoven, they become a beautiful ink painting.

What if red is inserted between black and white?
The black and white lost their color, leaving only the bright red.

"Hailiel! Hamilel! Where are you!!" Ebis knelt on the ground, her body covered with scars, and shouted around in a daze.

Under her feet was a barren land. In the distance stood a series of mountains, with hot lava erupting from them from time to time.

The only strange thing is that everything here, except Ebis herself, is black and white.

No, there is also red, which is the color of blood.

Black and white interweave into a distorted and bizarre picture. On the ground, blood flows freely like a winding stream, dyeing a large area red. The shocking red color appears even more intense and abrupt against the black and white. Broken limbs and arms are scattered everywhere, some of which are soaked in blood, presenting a strange black and red color.

Ebis stared blankly at the corpses lying in the distance. Their faces looked particularly pale in the black and white tones, and their empty eyes made people feel weird, as if they had never felt pain before death, and they were dull and rigid.

Ebis didn't know how many people she had killed. She only knew that after crossing that door, she appeared here.

Hammer, Cade, and the newcomer were gone. All around was a barren wasteland with no grass growing on it, and in the distance was a volcano spewing black lava.

She seemed to be in a black and white painting.

These corpses lying here were all living people wandering here a dozen minutes ago. However, they did not understand what Ebis said at all, and just kept approaching her and trying to attack her.

Ebis had no choice but to resist. These people were like ordinary people with only instincts, and they would not even dodge her attacks. As a level 11 shadow assassin, Ebis killed them all easily.

And she finally saw colors other than black and white - the red of blood.

Erbis didn't know where she was. The pungent smell of blood kept coming into her nose, making her almost vomit.

The most important thing is, since entering here, the overwhelming shadow energy has been pressing on her like a mountain, making it hard for her to breathe. She felt like she was going crazy.

"Clap, clap."

Suddenly, footsteps were heard from behind her. Ebis turned around and saw a woman wearing a wizard robe and a black veil.

Ebis looked at the woman walking towards her, clenched the dagger in her hand and stood up. She thought it was another one of those mindless living dead.

"Stop, I don't want to kill you." Ebis sighed and advised weakly in a hoarse voice.

But she knew that her advice would ultimately be futile, and this woman would just pounce on her like a madman, just like the others.

But the next moment, Ebis' pupils shrank, and she was shocked to find that the woman actually listened to her and stopped where she was.

"You are alive? Great!" Ebis shouted excitedly.

She was about to take two steps forward, but then she stopped and asked cautiously, "Who are you?"

The woman opposite did not answer her question, but just whispered softly: "You are the first living person I have seen. How did you get in?"

Ebis frowned, feeling a little uncomfortable when the other party didn't answer her question, but she knew that at a time like this, she needed to gain the trust of others and show her sincerity.

"I came here with my teammates through a portal in a cemetery. I didn't expect that they disappeared as soon as we entered here." When Ebis said this, her expression was gloomy and confused.

"My name is Ebis, I'm from the Amn Empire, and I'm an 11th-level shadow assassin. I don't know where this place is, but I think, if you came here accidentally like me, we can work together to find a way out." Ebis said sincerely.

The woman was silent for a while, then lifted her black veil, revealing a delicate face.

"I am also from the Empire of Amn. I am a 13th-level wizard. My name is Shanai."

Nemesis rode on the summoned phantom horse and walked slowly on the road. On the barren plain, some living dead would occasionally pounce on him, but they would often be burned to charcoal by the scorching rays. "I really didn't expect that such a small cemetery would yield such a harvest." Nemesis looked at the black and white world around him, his mouth curled up, his eyes full of joy.

"but."

He looked at another zombie rushing towards him, froze it with his telekinesis, and moved it in front of him.

Nemesis looked at the dead man's dead eyes, full of curiosity: "What is the reason that caused your spiritual intelligence to collapse completely?"

He could tell at a glance that these living dead were actually still living humans and were not undead creatures at all.

Nemesis didn't see any signs of being controlled on them.

But what was strange was that these living people seemed to have suffered a mental breakdown, completely lost consciousness, and wandered in the wilderness according to instinct.

They don't seem to attack each other, but often attack when they see themselves.

Is it because he is an outsider? Or is it because these living dead do not attack humans and see his true identity as a dragon?
Fortunately, Nemesis's questions were soon answered.

He rode his horse towards the volcano and soon noticed a small black dot in the distance.

As the distance got closer, the black spot became larger and larger. Only when Nemesis got closer did he realize that it was actually a ten-meter-tall black octahedron standing out of thin air in the wilderness.

"This is."

Nemesis frowned and approached the octahedron, discovering that its surface was made of energy and emitted rich shadow energy fluctuations.

He threw out several flames, lightning, and even ice, but none of them could shake the defense of the octahedron surface, only causing ripples.

"Humph!"

Nemesis snorted coldly and shot out a dark green ray.

Seventh-level defensive spell——[Instant advanced dispel magic]!
No matter what kind of supernatural energy this is, as long as it is not psychic energy, it will be restrained by advanced dispelling magic!
Sure enough, as soon as the dark green rays touched the surface of the black octahedron, the shadow energy gradually dissipated like melting snow, and finally turned into ashes in the air.

At the same time, in the center of the black octahedron, a man in armor fell to the ground, looking around with empty eyes. Then, he seemed to find that he was no longer in the octahedron, and a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes.

"Where am I?" the man murmured dully.

Nemesis frowned. Why did this guy act like an idiot? Was he locked up stupid?
He penetrated into the other's mind, only to find that his memory was filled with only darkness.

He screamed, struggled, was in a daze, and despaired in the darkness. His clear consciousness was gradually driven crazy by the lonely darkness.

Nemesis suddenly realized something. Could it be that those living dead had gone crazy because they had been locked up in this black octahedron for too long?

Fortunately, the person in front of me has not been locked up for too long. Although his memory has become confused, it is not impossible to treat.

A golden light flashed in Nemesis's hand, and he released the second-ring magic [Calm the Mind] for him.

The man's eyes slowly began to light up.

He first recalled the past, and then pain, madness, and despair appeared in his eyes, but these were good things, as they meant that the other party still had emotional fluctuations.

[Calm the Mind] can soothe the emotional fluctuations of the recipient. After a period of struggle, the man slowly calmed down.

He looked at Nemesis in confusion and asked, "Did you save me?"
