Chapter 1090: Chapter 511: Saw! (Part 2)
At this mont, Wei Shan suddenly clenched the umbrella handle tightly. The large umbrella began to tremble with a “creak creak” sound, and twisted, hideous faces seed to erge from the patterns that didn’t exist originally on the umbrella surface.
“Hehehe… Hehehe…”
Pale white scorching breath began to erge faintly from Wei Shan’s mouth and nose, and a golden glow began to flicker in his eyes, making him look like the awakening engine of a steam locomotive in the wind and rain.
He began to rapidly flare his nostrils, and the golden gaze darted through the wind and rain, as if searching for sothing.
Suddenly, as if discovering sothing, he jerked his eyes toward the ground.
“Beneath your feet! Old Lin! Look beneath your feet!” he growled through his teeth, “Sothing… is coming out!”
“Hehehe… Hehehe…”
“Filthy thing!”
He gripped the umbrella handle more tightly, as if desperately restraining sothing.
And after receiving Wei Shan’s warning, Lin Yi suddenly jolted in spirit, finally realizing what he had overlooked — the Sneering Angels!
When he stepped into the storm, he unwittingly ignored the Sneering Angels lurking within the shadows!
He quickly lowered his head to look at his own shadow.
The pale white mist seed to take on a tangible form, wrapping around his feet, and beneath the mist, the cobblestone ground had inexplicably turned into a tar-like viscous substance.
While he was rushing forward cluelessly without recognizing the problem, the ground had been rely sticky. Once he realized, it instantly beca a quagmire trapping his feet, dragging him inch by inch into it…
At this mont, Lin Yi was practically standing on a dark lake surface, his shadow being the lake, with countless Sneering Angels below. Now, the boundary of the lake was blurred by the mist, and he started sinking into it, stepping on ripples…
Lin Yi tried to pull out his foot, only to find that along with it ca the arms of the Sneering Angels, caught between illusion and reality…
A chilling numbness crept over Lin Yi’s scalp as he suddenly realized that the distortion he felt underfoot wasn’t due to the cobblestone pavent twisting under strange weather, but because his shadow was laid across the ground, and the Sneering Angels had seeped through the fuzzy boundary to grab his ankles!
“Can’t the Sneering Angels simply erge directly? Why are they grabbing my feet?”
“Are they trying to drag my body into the shadows?”
“Old Lin!” Due to the shadows’ grasp, Lin Yi’s body wavered a bit, but fortunately, Wei Shan steadied him in ti. “Are you alright?”
“I… the Sneering Angels have grabbed my feet…” Lin Yi had nothing to hide from Wei Shan.
Hearing this, Wei Shan imdiately beca agitated: “Sneering Angels? I can’t see them!”
“Damn it! They didn’t notice , so I can’t see them yet!”
“Damn! Damn it!!”
Lin Yi’s body staggered again, as he was dragged further into the shadow by the Sneering Angels.
These Sneering Angels had truly beco an affliction clinging to his bones; countless hands clutched his feet, while more lurking in the shadows awaited him!
He desperately pulled his foot out of the shadow a bit, but as long as it was imrsed in the shadow, Sneering Angels’ hands grasped every part of it.
As he pulled, his leg was indeed extracted from the shadow, yet countless hands of the Sneering Angels followed, looking like the tangled roots of an ancient tree or like syringes filled with plastic tubes, causing extre discomfort.
Lin Yi felt as if ants were crawling all over him, with extre discomfort prickling his heart and causing his breathing to beco heavy.
“They will drag into the shadow, or… I might bring them out of the shadow!” Lin Yi’s heart was filled with conflict and choices. anwhile, his gaze pierced through the sticky yet clear black lake surface at the Sneering Angels crawling up his leg from beneath.
Countless Sneering Angels, indistinguishable from those lower nocturnal species at this mont!
Although he didn’t know why the Sneering Angels couldn’t simply crawl out of the shadows like they could in the classroom bookshelf area, he had no ti left to weigh the pros and cons, as more and more hands of the Sneering Angels climbed up his leg, dragging his body into the shadows.
Lin Yi was burning with anxiety, and Wei Shan also beca worried, but they had no ans to counter the Sneering Angels.
At this mont, Wei Liang, who had been silent, finally spoke up with dread and uncertainty: “Old Lin… why aren’t we leaving… what’s grabbing you, why can’t I see it?”
Lin Yi was preoccupied with formulating a strategy and had no ti to explain things to Wei Liang. He replied perfunctorily, “I’m being grabbed by a ghost! I can’t get away right now!”
“Ghosts?” Wei Liang persisted, “Have you gone mad, Old Lin? Ghosts don’t have physical forms, how can they grab you? But if they are physical, then how can you not pull free?”
Wei Liang’s words were like a bucket of cold water poured over Lin Yi, snuffing out the flas that had been raging in his heart, bringing him to his senses.
“You’re right… you’re absolutely right…” Lin Yi suddenly realized, indeed, the Sneering Angels do exist in a soul form, but they also have a corporeal state. If they’re in a soul-state, how could they hold onto him?
To grab his ankle, it must be in a solid state, if so… then everything should be solvable!
Can’t handle the soul state, but can’t I handle the corporeal one either?!
With this understanding, he stopped trying to yank out his leg and bent over instead, attempting to grab the Sneering Angels’ arms.
Right at that mont, he noticed the arms of the Sneering Angels were indeed a mix of reality and illusion. The outermost arms, which hadn’t caught hold of his leg, were ethereal, whereas the ones truly gripping his leg were completely tangible.
He seized one arm of a Sneering Angel and began to exert force, but in the next mont, he realized the Sneering Angels weren’t feebly gripping at all. For a mont, he couldn’t dislodge them at all.
As he was caught in this mont of surprise, the initially phantom-like arms of the Sneering Angels abruptly beca solidified, grasping at the arm he was about to disentangle.
Lin Yi: “???”
Lin Yi was taken aback.
Are you… fishing ?
The Sneering Angel anticipated my anticipation?
“Damn it!!!”
Just as Lin Yi realized the crux of the problem, the Sneering Angels imdiately exerted themselves, yanking him viciously into the shadow!
“Old Lin!” With a deep growl, Wei Shan quickly grabbed onto Lin Yi.
“Just hold onto , Wei Sang, just hold on!!” Lin Yi called out.
Just as he was being pulled off balance by the Sneering Angels, an inspiration burst forth within his mind at the very last mont!
Although Wei Shan couldn’t see the Sneering Angels, he could touch Lin Yi and, heeding Lin Yi’s instructions, naturally held him tightly.
anwhile, Lin Yi raised his left arm high, the one not yet caught by the Sneering Angels, with golden light bursting from his eyes: “It’s ti for a bit of straightforward, exhilarating tactics!”
He ford a phantom grip with his left hand, and on his arm, the Secret Mark imprinted by the Contractor began to radiate a brilliant golden glow. Wisps of golden light threaded out from the Secret Mark, weaving continuously within his palm. A Big Steel Saw, shimring with an icy tallic sheen, appeared within his grasp.
“Hehehe…”
He seized the Big Steel Saw, positioning it against the arm of the Sneering Angel that was grabbing him, and pulled with force!
“Ga-la-la-la—”
The saw teeth tore through the arm of the Sneering Angel, like a chainsaw cutting into a thick log, with white powder spraying out in a “shoosh shoosh shoosh”.
