Rocky and the women accompanying him walked along the gloomy passage. At first, their surroundings were quite peaceful, but after about thirty minutes of walking, they immediately felt that the temperature suddenly dropped as if they were in a deep cellar underground. Even though they were protected by the spiritual energy, the chilling air still permeated in their skin.
"What is with this place? It feels so horrifying," Lena said with a frown as her body started shivering.
Then, suddenly, a burst of ghostly cries came from the depths of the passage.
Rocky and the women couldn't help but look at each other, surprised at what they just heard. However, they just kept walking until they arrived at the end of the passage. They stopped in their tracks and were shocked as they looked around.
What welcomed them was a spacious and strange room without a definite purpose. On the other end of the room, they saw that there was a road leading towards the depths of the forbidden area. However, they soon noticed that more than ten misty white souls, like shadowy fogs, wandered around and occupied the room. They perceived that these souls emitted strong auras that were at least equivalent to the masters at the Supernal Stage. Furthermore, they also possessed a vicious aura of hostility, making them unable to move freely. Then, they realized that these souls must the ghosts of the Butterfly Divine Clan that Kayla had mentioned before.
As a result, they stopped at the entrance of the room and didn't dare to move forward.
"What should we do now?" All the women looked at Rocky and waited for his decision.
"It looks dangerous. You have to wait here first while I go and take a look. Once everything is clear, you can follow me," Rocky said after thinking for a while. He then pulled out the Frozen Wind Dagger and rushed inside the room.
However, the moment Rocky stepped into the room, the souls of the Butterfly Divine Clan seemed to be infuriated by the presence of a stranger. They immediately let out sharp cries and dashed towards him. Their faces were like demons that would haunt every living soul. They swarmed towards Rocky as if they were going to devour him whole.
As he saw the fast-approaching ghosts, Rocky immediately waved the Frozen Wind Dagger and slashed several Moon Blades to resist them. However, to his surprise, the Moon Blades just passed right through them and didn't seem to take any damage at all. He clearly saw that the souls were still rushing towards him at an incredible speed.
Rocky was slightly taken aback. He didn't expect that the Moon Blades would be rendered ineffective against them. With his quick-thinking, he decided to use the Hexagonal Netting Dragon Ring and spread out the light barrier around him. However, the ferocious ghosts still ignored and just passed through the light barrier that he had set up.
"Basil, watch out!" the women couldn't help calling out to Rocky as they saw that he was being chased down by more than ten of the fiendish-looking souls.
There was a frown on Rocky's face, as he was disappointed that even the light barrier didn't hinder them. Fortunately, his reflexes and movement skills were at a high level.
Just as the souls were able to make contact with his body, Rocky instantly disappeared from where he was standing and was able to return to the room's entrance, where the women were, in the blink of an eye.
As the women saw that Rocky was able to come back to their side, they breathed a deep sigh of relief.
"This is tough. The souls of the Butterfly Divine Clan are so difficult to deal with! We won't be able to move forward like this," Rocky said in frustration, clenching his fists.
"It seems that it's useless to break in by force. It will be more problematic if we are possessed by them," Lena remarked as she analyzed the situation.
"You're right. It seems like we can't do anything to guard against them. So what are we going to do to pass through the room?" Sabina grumbled as she put her hands on her waist.
"I think I know a way. I can use the Dragon Master Clan's secret skill to suppress these souls. But I will need to remain here in order to perform it. You guys go ahead while I prevent them from rushing towards you," Lena finally said after hesitating for a while.
Rocky and the other women immediately showed expressions of disapproval on their faces the moment they heard Lena's suggestion.
