‘How can I see, then?’
His surroundings had changed completely too. It used to be a dreary, endless pitch blackness, yet it was now filled with greenery, ancient trees that were so tall that their leaves covered the skies. The whole place brimmed with life.
“Alex!”
A voice came from behind him. It sounded familiar yet foreign at the same time. Alex turned his head around, his neck crackling from the sudden movement.
The sight of a green skeleton running towards favonovel.com made favonovel.com jump.
“Holy sh*t! What the hell is this?”
Alex wanted to run, but favonovel.com was rather slow. He used to move around with a fleshy body, so running required muscles. Without them, his bones wouldn’t move like favonovel.com wanted them to. In just a few moments, someone charged at him, and favonovel.com fell to the ground.
It was the green skeleton, who had lunged towards favonovel.com and pinned favonovel.com to the ground, sitting right on top of him…
‘Oh sh*t, from its voice, this skeleton is definitely a woman. Is favonovel.com going to assault me here?’
‘But…’ He glanced at himself. ‘I don’t even have that thing anymore!’
He wanted to struggle his way out, but his bones wouldn’t heed his command. He panicked and started screaming. “Hey, don’t… Don’t be in such a rush. I don’t even have the right tools to do that now. There’s no use rushing me. Let’s wait till I grow back out and you… You can try again!”
The green skeleton used favonovel.com boney hand to cover his mouth.
“Don’t scream. It’s me, Mystic Maiden!”
“Huh? Oh hey missy, why… Why did you turn out like this? Your entire body is green, and it’s kind of… Oh, why do we look like this now? Are we dead? Are you dead too?”
“That’s Miss Maiden for you!” Mystic Maiden corrected with a lowered voice. She looked around the place to check if there was any danger around her. “Don’t speak It’s dangerous here. There’s a big guy around.”
Alex was speechless. He couldn’t see anything else except the green skeleton on top of him.
Thus, just a moment later, a roar filled the skies.
Roarrrrr!
It shook the ground, vigorously swaying the trees. With the violent winds brushing through his skeleton, Alex’s soul nearly fell out.
He then noticed a dinosaur fossil… It looked like one at least or something that came out from a museum. It rushed out of the vast forest, three hundred meters away from Alex and the others.
With an entire body pitch black, it stood dozens of meters. Each and every bone had tightly-packed mystical talismans all over. As it continued to move, the talismans would move around its bones, changing and shifting. It looked somewhat mysterious and complicated and brimmed with an unknown law power. Its aura was absolutely terrifying. Being this close to it made Alex’s scalp go numb.
After that, another roar filled the skies, so loud that the air could potentially explode.
The dinosaur looked towards the sky, yet all it saw was a large area of shimmering gold that covered the entire sky.
Alex tried his best to distinguish the large figure, but favonovel.com noticed it was just the skeleton of a massive golden bird. It loomed over the entire forest, spanning its wings that were thousands of meters wide. As tall as a mountain, it flew straight down.
Thus, Alex could finally be certain that this fossil-looking guy wasn’t roaring at them. It was roaring towards that large golden bird in the sky.
Boom!
The Earth felt as if it was shattering, as though a volcano had erupted. Wormholes opened up everywhere due to energy particles colliding with each other. As rocks and dust flew up from the grormd, it seemed the entire world was ending.
Alex and Mystic Maiden were two insignificant skeletons compared to those beasts. Hence, they minimized their conscience and energy, staying in the same position, not daring to move a muscle or make a sound. They looked as if they were corpses of two poor paupers ditched in a deserted place after their deaths.
With this, everything turned silent.
A hundred meter deep pit lay beside them now. The ‘living fossil’ had been captured by a large golden bird. The bird grabbed it by its scapula and swooshed into the sky, disappearing into the horizon.
“Wh… what is this place?” Alex whispered, still shocked.
“We call this place the Afterworld,” Mystic Maiden replied.
Alex took a while to digest all the information. “Then… Have you seen Daya and the others?”
“Follow me, they’re all here. And we’ve been waiting for you for two years.”
“What?”
“For two whole years?” Alex’s eyes bulged.
‘How could two years have passed?’
