Sixth Ring Wizard

Chapter 50 Shiva

"You ran pretty fast!" Rune scoffed. "What's going on here? Did you do this?"

Herag shrugged. "It's none of my business. I'm figuring out how to get out too."

"It's someone from Moonglade, it must be him!" The other two recognized the Moonglade robes on Herag's body.

Rune glanced at Herag: "It shouldn't be him. A mere first-class wizard apprentice wouldn't be able to use such advanced spatial magic. There's something strange about this place."

He then changed the subject: "But since that's the case, there's no point in keeping him alive. Let's just kill him."

Seeing that things were not going well, Herag turned and ran. The two behind him threw several spells, but they were all blocked by three thick shields.

"How come this guy has so many shields!" The two were dumbfounded. They watched as Herag ran far away, but they didn't dare to chase after him.

Herag ran a short distance before stopping and observing from the woods to the side.

He didn't dare run forward. The fact that he could scare these three people into fleeing in panic meant that what was chasing them was even more terrifying.

Rune was getting angry at their timid and hesitant appearance, and urged them again, "Kill him first!"

His two henchmen had no choice but to bite the bullet and chase after him, their hands poised to unleash their spells.

Just then, the two of them involuntarily shivered.

Herag also felt a chilling aura coming from behind him, and a sense of fear rose from his very bones.

He turned around and saw a person lying on the ground in a very strange posture, with their hands and feet twisted in extreme contortions.

The person appeared to be crawling on the ground, but their head was turned 180 degrees, as if their neck had been twisted.

"Shiva..." The word popped into Herag's mind; the three runes had just mentioned it.

"Deep Blue, look up information on Shiva."

"Shiva, a monster from the Abyss, extremely dangerous." Deep Blue retrieved Shiva's basic information from the database; it was just one sentence with no other details.

Herag remembered reading about this monster in a book, but he only had one impression of it because it was a monster that only existed in legends and few people had actually seen it.

"How could there be something like this in Moonlight Forest?" Herag was completely baffled.

He tried to turn and run away, but found that all his muscles had become stiff and his magic was sluggish, so he couldn't move at all and could only watch helplessly as Shiva slowly crawled over.

Shiva's long black hair hung down to the ground, crawling on the ground like countless tentacles.

"Deep Blue, make me move!" Herag shouted in his heart.

"Stimulating the relevant muscle tissue..."

Herag felt a tingling, numb sensation in his muscles and some joints, as if he were being electrocuted.

A moment later, he regained his ability to move freely.

Without any hesitation, Herag turned and ran, rushing into the nearby forest.

Shiva continued crawling on the ground at a leisurely pace, seemingly unconcerned about Herag's escape.

Rune and his two companions remained frozen in place, unable to move. They watched helplessly as Herag ran further and further away while Shiva drew closer and closer, their eyes filled with despair.

Shiva stopped in front of the group, his hair continuing to crawl forward, slipping into their trouser legs.

The three of them, Rune and his companions, looked terrified and opened their mouths wide, trying to scream but unable to utter a sound.

Black hair emerged from the nostrils, ears, mouths, and eyes of the three Runes, the black hair streaked with bright red blood and bits of flesh.

Through the skin of the three Runes, one can see individual hairs rapidly passing through their epidermis, and their skin slowly deflates, as if it has been hollowed out.

The dense chewing sounds emanated from the three of them, echoing through the silent Moonlight Forest. The faint sounds alone sent chills down Hellagur's spine.

He didn't escape far; to be precise, he had no way to escape far.

I've looked around; it's all just out-of-reach edges, there's no way to escape.

Herag saw the scene over there through the deep blue probe. He watched helplessly as Rune and the other two were slowly eaten until they were reduced to human skin, leaving not even a trace of bone.

After Shiva finished eating, his hair slowly shrank back, leaving only three thin human skins behind.

Shiva then turned and slowly crawled toward Hellagur.

An indescribable malice swept over Hrag like a tidal wave.

Herag was once again unable to move. This time, no matter how much Deep Blue stimulated his muscle tissue, he could not regain control of his body and could only watch helplessly as Shiva crawled closer and closer.

"Deep Blue, control your magic to activate the pocket watch and use Healing Touch!" Herag is currently unable to control his own magic.

"Executing..."

Deep Blue channeled magic into the pocket watch, and a woman's phantom appeared, enveloped in white light.

Herag felt much warmer and the malice that had been weighing on his heart was dispelled, but he still couldn't control his body.

Shiva paused for a moment, his dense hair stopping on the ground, but only for a fleeting instant.

Shiva continued crawling forward. The Holy Healing spell had no effect on Shiva except that it made Hellagur feel less cold.

Herag gritted his teeth, his mind racing, trying to figure out how to escape this predicament.

Quack! Quack! Quack!

Suddenly, the croaking of a toad rang out, and Shiva abruptly stopped.

Not far from Herag, a toad the size of a basketball suddenly appeared out of nowhere and started croaking at him.

Herag felt the restraints on his body loosen a little, and with difficulty turned his head, he saw the strange toad.

He felt his fingers getting hot, and when he looked down, he saw that it was the spatial ring that Lillian had given him that was heating up.

"What's inside?" Herag used his magic to probe and discovered that something he had almost forgotten was glowing inside his spatial ring.

"This is……"

Herag remembered that it was the hexagonal wooden plate he and Lillian had seen while strolling around when the ship stopped on Colombo Island.

In the center of the wooden disc is a hexagonal tower, which is now emitting a pale yellow light and is floating up as if trying to emerge.

After buying the wooden plate, Herag studied it for a while and found nothing unusual. He then put the plate in his spatial ring and left it there, almost forgetting about it after so long.

At that moment, the wooden disc made a strange noise, and Herag immediately took it out.

After the wooden plate was brought out, the pale yellow light gradually intensified, and the toad croaked even louder.

Shiva slowly turned his head, his two white eyes turning as he looked at the wooden plate.
