196. Isolation

The Spirit World is full of mystery, and spiritual power is the primary means of manifestation.

For ordinary people, intense emotional fluctuations represent changes in mental strength, and what kind of impact are they most likely to have?

"Roar!"

In Sulu's view, wisps of black energy emerged from the terrified screamer, gathering in mid-air to form a black cocoon.

In less than a few seconds, a jet-black beast claw tore through the black cocoon and roared outwards.

Bang!

It landed on the ground, its body instantly swelling into a grotesque black tiger. With a single tear of its enormous claws, a maid was decapitated, her blood splattering everywhere.

"Ah!"

Upon seeing this bloody scene, Billy was so terrified that he collapsed to the ground, crying out, "Ian... save me!"

As the bodyguard of the Doliov Family, Ian could only grit his teeth and stand in front of Billy as a Lesser Fireball slammed into Black Tiger's head.

Boom!

The flames exploded, but this time they only managed to blow off half of Black Tiger's head.

Its movements paused for a moment, but within seconds, it received replenishment from wisps of black energy in the void, not only recovering completely but also becoming even more ferocious, letting out a roar, "Roar!"

This roar also seemed to contain some kind of mental attack.

Ian, who was hit first, groaned and fell to the ground, his face deathly pale.

"It's over!"

Billy watched this scene, and despair crept onto his face.

The black tiger did not stop for a moment, and came to Ian, opening its blood-red maw as if it wanted to bite off his head.

"So that's how it is... Magic Creature born from the power of emotions?"

Just then, a figure stepped in front of the master and servant.

Sulu snorted, "Go back!"

Bang!

There seemed to be an invisible wall in the void. The Black Tiger's pounce hit the iron plate directly, and half of its body was turned into mush.

But its two legs continued to struggle, drawing upon the black energy to recover.

"Enough!"

After observing for the first time, Sulu released his Spirit Pressure, and instantly, most of the people in the manor fainted, their eyes rolled back.

As soon as they lost consciousness, the black aura that was originally generated from their bodies stopped.

Unable to replenish its strength, the black tiger gradually weakened and eventually stopped struggling.

"Extreme emotions easily give rise to monsters... As long as the source isn't cut off, they are immortal..."

Sulu looked toward the city center.

There, the population is larger, and the emotions are more intense!

Sure enough, the subtle commotion was spreading, and the gunfire was becoming more frequent.

" In Nia City, the more people there are, the more dangerous it becomes... If you don't want to die, follow me!"

Sulu glanced at Billy and Ian, and gave the order indifferently.

Since we've always relied on other people's resources, we should lend a helping hand whenever we can.

"Young Master Ron... is he that powerful? A professional? He's probably not just extraordinary, is he? An elite? Or even a master expert?"

Ian followed behind Sulu, his face filled with disbelief.

"Leave a message telling the people in the manor to hide separately after they wake up..."

Sulu rode a horse towards Billy.

"Okay... okay."

A subtle air of authority made Billy dare not refute, and he quickly carried out the order.

A few minutes later, the three horses galloped out of the manor and headed towards the edge of the city.

"Arrive!"

On a desolate plain, Sulu reined in his horse.

Before him lay a seven-colored light curtain that distorted everything in front of him, obscuring the view of the outside world.

"There really is... no way out..."

Looking at the road that had come to an abrupt end, not only Billy, but even Ian looked utterly despairing.

Sulu remained silent, exploring with his Inspiration.

After a moment, he concluded:

"Indeed... it's difficult to get out..."

This situation reminded him of the blockade by Evil Spirit, but it was not quite the same.

The sheer scale and the rank it represents are enough to send chills down one's spine.

"And... the isolation here is constantly increasing... not physically, but in a more bizarre way... but... why does it feel so much like the Spirit World to me?"

After thinking for a moment, he instantly Soul Projection and tried to touch the seven-colored light screen.

The next moment, he easily passed through and saw the scenery outside Nia City, as well as the heavy military force surrounding the city in the distance, with dark gun barrels pointing in his direction.

Hello! Goodbye!

Sulu took a step back, burrowed into his own body, pondered for a moment, and a bitter smile appeared on his face, "I understand..."

The essence of this isolation is to pull the entire city into the Spirit World!

Therefore, one's spirit body after Soul Projection body can move freely at the boundary!

However, this also has its limitations.

As time goes by, the Spirit World of Nia City will deepen, starting with the first level, then the second level, and finally possibly falling into an even deeper Spirit World!

"If it's the first or second layer, my spirit can still pass through, but if it's the third layer, the barrier created there prevents my spirit from getting through!"

"Actually... it's useless for my spirit to pass through, my physical body is still here. Does that mean I have to abandon my physical body and become a [Necro-Spirit]?"

Soul Projection is merely the ability of a spirit to travel through the Spirit World.

True Spirit World Travel requires bringing one's own body, which increases the difficulty a thousandfold.

"What a... difficult choice."

Sulu pursed his lips. "We can only stay in Nia City for now, waiting for possible rescue and self-rescue. If we can't get help or find a way to escape by the time Nia City has been corrupted to the second peak..."

A ruthless glint flashed in his eyes.

Staying in Nia City will inevitably result in being dragged into the depths of the Spirit World.

While it may hold endless mysteries, it is more likely to lead to instant death.

Therefore, even at a terrible cost, we must escape!

"Of course... perhaps things haven't reached that point yet."

Sulu looked at his Attribute Panel.

The LV4 level of Soul Projection can be further improved due to the advancement to [Thaumaturge].

"But... to elevate this ability to the point of physically traversing the Spirit World, it would require at least the next qualitative leap, right?"

The skills listed in the Attribute Panel undergo a dramatic change every four levels.

After calculating the enormous amount of experience that might be required, Sulu felt somewhat disappointed.

Needless to say, reaching higher levels might require a fourth-tier profession as a prerequisite!

"However... it's always an opportunity. Try to accumulate experience; maybe in the end, there will be a chance to fight back."

After Sulu for a moment, Sulu looked at Billy and asked, "Could you contact the Church and the city hall?"

"Ah... okay, my dad has connections there. Ron, what are you going to do?"

Billy snapped out of his daze and quickly asked what was wrong.

"Of course we should stick together! In today's treacherous environment, cooperation is essential for survival..."

Sulu sighed.
