Lin Sheng descended slowly alongside the wind like a bubble amid the blue sky.
He looked upwards and saw the door he had come through slowly closing shut.
“The hell is this place?” He then looked down.
The land was vast and borderless, and what greeted him were ruins, a sea of grey ruins.
Beneath him was a large city, so big it was that he could not see the edge of the city even with a birds-eye view.
However, ninety percent of the city had already collapsed, and from afar, it looked like a massive junkyard or a giant graveyard.
It was silent, desolate, and eerie.
“Not even birds or insects?” Lin Sheng frowned slightly, and aside from the cold, piercing wind, there was no sound, no movement in the city.
He slowly descended inside the bubble, and soon made landfall on the top of a tilting spire.
*Crack!*
Both Lin Sheng’s feet landed on the top of the tower and broke a few tiles in the process. The bubble around him suddenly popped and disappeared as the candlelight extinguished.
Lin Sheng simply placed the candle stand at his back before squatting and grabbing onto the tip of the spire.
The spire had a seventy-degree slop to it, and toward the top of the tower was a closed stained glass window.
Lin Sheng carefully climbed to the stained glass window and landed a light blow.
*Crack!!*
The stained glass cracked. Lin Sheng smashed it a couple more times, and after he had made a hole that could fit him did he leap into it.
Beneath the hole was a small observatory, in it was a telescope-like device and dust coated the floor.
By the edge of the wall was a white skeleton that was holding onto its head, while a silver bowl and fork lay scattered on the ground.
“That sucks.” Lin Sheng swept his gaze over the skeleton. “Seems like the person starved to death.”
He walked to the corner of the room, and on the floorboard was a rectangular metal cover that had been locked shut.
“This is probably the passage leading downstairs.”
Lin Sheng broke the lock and tossed it aside before pulling the metal cover plate open.
Underneath it was another room that was much wider.
Lin Sheng leaped down and landed on a sofa that had already been horribly battered.
The moment he landed, it kicked up a storm of debris.
“Bloody hell.”
With a wave of his hand, countless of dark power particles spread open and turned into an air current that sucked all of the dust in before turning into a giant serpent and flew out from the broken window on the side.
Instantly, the room was clean.
He then looked around the room. There was a table, a chair, an embedded book rack, and a small oval bed.
That was everything inside the room.
“There was a skeleton on top there, but why there’s nothing here? Why was it locked shut?”
Lin Sheng had plenty of questions and did not lower his guard as he carefully inspected his surroundings.
There was nothing around as the place looked it like had been deserted long ago.
He slowly made his way to the table. There was a sand clock there, about the size of a palm.
The silver sand inside the clock had already all flowed to the bottom side.
He held his hand out toward the clock.
*Hiss!!*
A thick puff of black smoke suddenly floated out from the clock and formed into a menacing human face.
“I curse you! Curse you! Curse—”
*Bam!*
The sand clock suddenly exploded.
Lin Sheng had only just managed to catch a glimpse of the human face speaking before he felt strands of unknown energies were trying to stealthily make its way into his body.
Yet, with his holy power flowing wildly all over his body, the closer that energy got to his skin, the bigger the pressure it felt. In the end, it could not withstand the resistance and the sand clock shattered.
Lin Sheng did not pay it much mind, with his Level 11 holy power, he felt that he was now immune to most common curses and hexes.
He then pulled open the only drawer on the table. Inside it was a mess of notes, crystals, gems, coins, and cigarettes.
Lin Sheng took up a gold coin. On it was a relief of a three-headed dragon, while the image of a long-haired, solemn-looking lady graced the flip side, and beneath the image was a series of tiny writings.
“A script that I don’t recognize, it’s not Deviltongue either… a new place after all?”
Lin Sheng threw the coin back into the drawer and started rummaging through it.
After going through the entire drawer, he finally found something different in at a corner of the drawer.
It was a scroll.
An old brown scroll made out of black sticks and yellow cloth.
There was a transparent silk ribbon tied to the scroll. With the ribbon as the center, there were black floral patterns on the edge of the scroll, while the bottom part was crammed full of words.
Lin Sheng’s curiosity was piqued.
The city was clearly ruins of a city annihilated, and for him to find a scroll here, he had no idea what content it would have.
He took up the scroll to sense it, and only felt a very faint energy fluctuation on it, around two or three-wing. So without any hesitation, he pulled the ribbon apart and opened the scroll
*Clack!*
Yellow lightning suddenly shot out from the scroll.
The lightning landed on the ground and instantly turned into a two-meter tall person made out of lightning. Amid the intense crackling of electricity, the humanoid form floated impassively in midair.
Its upper body was of a muscular brute’s frame, while its lower body was made out of storm clouds with yellow lightning flashing from time to time.
“A thunder elemental summon?” Lin Sheng was astonished as he guessed.
The thunder elemental had no expression, its eyes blank as it floated in the air awaiting his orders.
“Hello?”
“Can you talk?”
“Are you able to communicate?”
Lin Sheng changed into a few other languages but it elicited no response from the thunder elemental.
Aside from a few simple commands given from his heart, the elemental ignored the rest.
“It looked like a humanoid AI. Uh, no, not even an AI.”
Lin Sheng was slightly speechless.
He looked at the scroll in his hand. The item was already consumed; while the patterns on it were still around, all of the power inside it had disappeared.
He could bring that back to study.
Putting the scroll away, Lin Sheng carefully studied the thunder elemental, but before he could get a working understanding of it, the latter had automatically dissipated into countless of lightning arcs before disappearing.
While he had found a scroll and had wasted it, the finding increased Lin Sheng’s drive to continue searching.
After rummaging through the entire place, and was sure that there was nothing else, Lin Sheng opened the floorboard toward the level below and leaped down.
This time, just as he jumped, Lin Sheng could hear a piercing rip coming toward him while he was still up in the air, and they were all around him!
He had no time to wonder as he unleashed his dark powers into countless dark green spikes toward the sharp objects.
*Clang clang clang!!*
Amid the clashing, Lin Sheng landed in a half-squat on the ground and stood up.
It was a wide ring-shaped hall.
The hall was filled with white cobwebs as black monsters with bat wings screeched one after another, as they charged at him again after being repelled by the dark power threads.
These monsters had large bat wings, while they wore simple grey clothing. There were both male and female monsters, without any young or old.
They looked like harpies, but their wings were bat wings instead of the usual bird wings, and among them were not only females but males too.
