The Phantom Sea was utterly still.
I couldn't even see anything around me.
But why did Yu Xiang feel terrified?
She was clearly afraid of something.
I slowly walked over to her side. She instinctively turned around. "Y-You, why are you here?"
She looked somewhat surprised, but she quickly said again, "Hurry up and leave, or it'll be too late."
Too late?
She shoved me hard. "Get out of here! It's about to come."
"It? Who is it?" Only as I spoke did I notice that Yu Xiang was covered in wounds. Her clothes were already torn to shreds, unable to cover certain parts of her body, and there were bloodstains on her arms.
Just then, I heard a roar. It wasn't a human sound, but that of some savage beast.
How could there be a savage beast in the Phantom Sea?
Suddenly, a dog appeared ahead of us.
That was right. It looked like a dog, but it was enormous.
And it seemed familiar. Then I suddenly remembered—it was the dog that often wandered around outside Yu Xiang's home. It seemed to belong to some household in the Yu family. It looked exactly the same.
It was just dozens of times larger, even much bigger than an elephant.
"What's going on?" I asked Yu Xiang, while a long halberd appeared in my hand.
I had taken this halberd from an enemy while fighting alongside Ye Jinghong before. I hadn't brought out any modern weapons; if I wasn't careful, those things might accidentally kill my own teammates.
Besides, this halberd was no ordinary weapon. It could devour souls and possessed the power of Soul Eater.
I stood in front of Yu Xiang. She said, "It's useless. You can't beat it. It's very powerful!"
"Stand back and watch from the side,"
