The man in white's face fell as he watched how Austin successfully blocked the attack of the tall
member of the ghost race.
It was clear that Austin's mind power was improving.
This was bad news for him.
He was painfully aware that Austin saw him as an enemy. If Austin made it out of this alive, he would
definitely come for him when he was strong enough.
"How awesome you are, young man!"
The old man couldn't help but feel impressed with Austin's performance.
"Aaaargh!"
the member of the ghost race roared as he rushed madly towards Austin.
The world of mind power that Austin conjured continually released rolling mind power, hitting the
member of the ghost race in waves, causing him to shake violently.
However, the member of the ghost race was very powerful. He still managed to make it close to Austin,
one step at a time.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
He raised his fist and punched as hard as he could at Austin.
Wherever his fist landed, the space would collapse, leaving a shocking, dark void.
Austin was quick on his feet. Immediately, he used the Illusion Skill of Reincarnation to dodge the
incoming blows.
Just in time, too—with a loud bang, the huge fist landed on the spot Austin had been standing just a
moment earlier, leaving a huge crack in the space there.
All of a sudden, Austin felt negative emotions surging towards him from all directions like a tsunami.
In the blink of an eye, he found himself drowning in those negative emotions.
They desperately attacked Austin's Soul Sea, trying to get control of it.
Then, Austin found that his mood was beginning to change.
He had become angry, irritable, resentful, jealous, greedy...
The range of negative emotions made him feel extremely uneasy.
As he continued to struggle, his body—especially his face—began to change.
"Damn it! Austin has changed to the ghost race again!"
the fire source beast cried anxiously when he saw what was happening.
"Don't worry. I can still fight it!"
Austin reassured him.
Fortunately, he was still conscious now.
There was a large number of mind power in Austin's Soul Sea, which tightly protected his spiritual soul.
Therefore, although Austin's Soul Sea was under attack, the negative emotions did not have any effect
on his spiritual soul.
Meanwhile, things weren't looking as good for the member of the ghost race. Being constantly
bombarded by Austin's mind power, he began to slow down, and he found it more difficult to move
around.
If they had faced each other in the past, Austin wouldn't have stood a chance. But now, with his greatly
improved mind power, it could be said that the two were on par in terms of strength.
The man in white in the distance continued to watch anxiously.
He wanted to deal with Austin personally, but the old man didn't let him.
The red flame that hovered over the old man's head was very powerful and could incinerate almost
anything. Although the man in white was by no means weak, he was very afraid of the red flame.
It could be seen that the old man was about as strong as the man in white, so they were tied—for now.
Austin was also at a stalemate with the tall member of the ghost race.
"Let's go,"
the old man said to Austin.
Austin nodded and stepped back while holding off the member of the ghost race.
The old man moved quickly and soon joined Austin and the fire source beast.
Under the old man's lead, the three of them slowly retreated into the distance.
By then, the man in white and the member of the ghost race also ceased attacking.
The man in white found that he could do nothing to the old man and Austin for the time being. All his
effort was in vain.
"I won't let you leave this space, no matter what,"
the man in white growled, locking eyes with Austin.
"I will most definitely get him out of here,"
the old man retorted, looking back at the man in white.
And with that,
he took Austin and the fire source beast out of that hell and together, they emerged on the outside.
The man in white waved his hand furiously.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Suddenly, the tall member of the ghost race that Austin had been fighting exploded into infinite pieces.
Then,
countless members of the ghost race began to appear one after another. In the blink of an eye, the
entirety of hell was filled with them.
The swarms of ghost race creatures screeched and cried terribly, filling hell with terrible noises—
enough to strike fear in any person's heart.
"Sir, where are we going now?"
the fire source beast asked as they made their escape. The old man had led Austin and him out of the
gloomy mountain but hadn't told them anything about his plan.
"Let's go back to the Fire World,"
the old man answered, smiling kindly.
Then, they lapsed into silence as he kept leading Austin and the fire source beast forward.
"Wait.
Some creatures have broken in.
This space is so lively these days!"
the old man suddenly said, gazing into the distance.
"They are the leaders of the Time Chamber Sect. They finally catch up to us!"
Austin said grimly. He and the fire source beast had felt their presence.
"The leaders of the Time Chamber Sect?"
the old man echoed, stunned.
"Yes.
They've been chasing after us,"
the fire source beast explained.
Then, he explained everything in detail to the old man.
"I see.
Those leaders came after you, so you had to escape into this space,"
the old man murmured, deep in thought.
"Don't worry.
The four leaders of the Time Chamber Sect might be very powerful, but they can't do anything to you
here,"
he then said brightly.
After a slight pause, he continued,
"Let's go back to the Fire World first."
"Sir, it is said that the four leaders of the Time Chamber Sect are very powerful.
Just like the three Lords of Darkness and the three Lords of Reincarnation, they are top masters in the
Absolute Space Sea,"
the fire beast warned, afraid that the old man underestimated their enemy.
"Don't worry!
Even if they make it here in this space,
I don't even need to do anything!
That man in white will deal with them, I'm sure.
He will keep them busy. They might not even have time to deal with you two in the end!"
the old man said with a smile.
"Sir, if the man in white knows that these people are here to hunt down Austin and me, he might not
attack them.
In fact, they might even join forces to come for us!"
the fire source beast said urgently.
"Ha-ha!
Take it easy.
That man would never form an alliance with any other creature.
In his eyes, all other creatures are beneath him!"
the old man answered with a laugh.
