Chapter 127 (Land of Shadows)

"What is this place?." Alex said

"The place seems to be full of yin aura, dear," Sistine said

"Oh!?." Hearing that, Alex didn't hesitate and walk through the other side

...

"Where is this place? water? My body can still move freely, I can only see darkness." Alex said

"I think it's the abyss, and you should just stop wondering and quickly use your eyes again! Why did you even deactivated it in the first place ." Sistine scolded

"Yes-yes, I just want to experience what it feels like" Alex said and used his eyes again

After he activated his eyes, his eyes pierced, and revealed everything within his line of sight.

"I really am underwater of a swamp. The bouyancy and the water currents doesn't affect me because of my [Five Elements Body]. I can even breathe air here." Alex said

"Ew* A water got into my mouth and it tastes like shit!." Alex cursed

Spit* Spit*

"Why does this water taste like shit? Hm? Oh Damn Hell!! The water in this swamp is actually full of poison. Luckily I have poison resistance.

"Gotta leave quickly, My body already smells like shit."

Alex quickly teleported to the surface.

Alex was currently outside the swamp, he look around and it seems that the trees in swamp didn't die, it was not the same as he expected.

"[Clean], [Dry]" Alex cleaned himself up

"Why did I even got to that shit like swamp, when I was at the other side I didn't saw any god damn swamp." Alex cursed

"Hmmm... I think the barrier in this place has an illusion." Sistine said

"Why?" Alex asked, he deactivated his eyes again and walk around.

"When you used your eyes before, when we where still at the other side, what you see was an illusion or rather a description of what is inside this space. Maybe it was warning or to scare someone not to go in this place. But you quickly went inside this place when it's destination was actually a poisonous swamp, and that was a trap.

"Now this is lesson for you not to act rashly because you would have already died if you don't have your poison immunity. You were rash because you are confident that you have your [Extinguishable Pure Yang Body] you are unstoppable in this place. That is really a Big NO!. Remember you need to always think before you act or you are going to suffer grave consequences." Sistine scolded

"Oh! Sorry. I will learn from my mistakes" Alex apologized

"Good!...but well actually you have also the right to be confident since you have a god's bloodline, you can still escape if you are in the swamp without any poison immunity albeit some difficulty." Sistine quickly said, she thought Alex got depressed being scolded

"Mhn, I understand. Thanks, I will always be careful from now on lest makes my Queen worry." Alex said with a smile

"Mhn...glad you understand." Sistine said with a bit embarrassed voice

"Oh! right! Sistine, I already have the [Soul Creation] skill, let me see my status to see how to use it. We can quickly make a soul for you." Alex said

"Let's talk about that later. I'm still editing the System...look you already got company." Sistine said

"Hmmm?." Alex focused his eyes on the first being he encountered in this place

It was a Dullahan, a headless man with armor, riding a black horse. The horse had a black rotten ball looking in its mouth

"Woah! what a dude! Actually has no head? how the hell does this guy know where I am." Alex exclaimed.

Alex was still ignorant about the likes of undead. Alex although have seen and killed many monster when he was at the Devil's domain but seeing an undead there was actually rare. He only sees skeletons here and there.

Stomp! Stomp!

The Dullahan got closer, he was neither fast or slow.

Alex didn't move and just look and waited for the Dullahan getting closer, as he didn't feel any intent from the Dullahan.

"Why is there a Human here?, it has been centuries." The dullhan said with a strange voice

"Oh Hell! Mother! It can actually talk?. Where is the mouth! And the funny thing is I can understand it." Alex got surprised and shouted

"Human, answer me. how did you get here?." The dullhan asked

"Dude! isn't it a bit rude to ask someone without facing them.. where the hell is your mouth anyway." Alex said

"You human is rude, this great one has been facing you all this time." The dullahan said

"You are facing me? Hmmm... the voice came from?." Alex move towards the dullahan

"I'm here, human." The dullahan said

"Hm? where." Alex look around the dullahan.

"Here." The dullahan said

"where?." Alex asked

"Here." The dullahan said again

"The voice came from...here?." Alex look at the horse

"Wait! what? the horse was the one talking?." Alex exclaimed

"No It's me." The dullahan said

"Hm?." Alex got even more closer to the horse's mouth that has a black rotten ball look alike in it."

"Human, what are you doing?." The dullahan asked, or rather the voice came from the black rotten ball in horse mouth

"Oh Fucking Hell! Scared the shit out of me! That's actually your head." Alex jumped and shouted

"Finally, seem this human have found me." The dullahan said

"Dude! have some shame, you actually put your head in the mouth of your horse." Alex said

"What are you saying, human? my mount is cleaning me." The dullahan said

Alex looked closely and found that the horse was actually keep licking the head.

"Dude..." Alex didn't know what to say

"Now, how did you get here, human?." The dullahan asked again

"Actually, I just woke up here..." Alex then started bullshiting making up a story

"Oh! so that how it is... sorry for mistaking you as a human. I don't know what type of undead you are, you said you have slept thousands of years. I don't know anyone the same as you." The dullahan said

"Right! how about you tell me next where is this and what happened all this years." Alex said

"Hmmm... I'm curious you said you have slept thousands of years but I though that this place is only a few centuries old." The dullahan said

"Of course! you don't know about it since there is only a few who knows this." Alex said

"Hmmm..." The dullahand look at him suspiciously

"How bold? What gall do you have to suspect this ancestor! Based on age this seat is how many times older than your grandfather." Alex suddenly said, putting a bit of pressure

"Forgives...forgives... this unfilial grandson." The dullahan got off the horse and kneeled

'What? this actually works' Alex thought

"Good! get up, remember not to do this again. Now tell this ancestor where is this place." Alex said

The dullahan got up and started telling him about the place.

The place was called the Land of Shadows, not many know what is the origin of this place. There are only rumors that this place was sealed from the outsideworld. There is also the Queen of the Land of Shadows, she had many titles like: Warrior Queen, Goddess of Death, God Slayer and many more.

The Queen was rumored to be the only living being inside the world and was actually the one who guards this place to prevent the undead from leaving, though they didn't know where actually they are going to leave. The history told by their ancestors also said that the Queen slaughtered every undead that was trying to leave the place but weirdly in the current years the killing of the Queen started getting slower and fewer.

Until right now, only sometimes will the Queen can be seen. But everytime she is seen she will be killing the powerhouses in this world. Those at the peak in this world that meets her died within her hands.
