Chapter 705 You really are good at self-deception!

The skeleton soldier couldn’t speak and seemed to have no memory, its jawbone clicking as it moved.

“Abba, abba, abba…”

“Understood? Then go do it!” William waved his hand dismissively. Clearly, the flicker of intelligence in the skeleton’s eye sockets meant it had understood his instructions.

The skeleton soldier repeated the “abba, abba” sound and then burrowed into the ground, disappearing from sight.

It wasn’t long before Oscar and his group noticed a skeleton soldier with purple ghostly fire flickering in its eye sockets, lurking in the shadows and watching them intently.

Its sneaky demeanor seemed like it was stalking them, but its body shimmered with light, especially the twin orbs of purple ghostly fire in its eye sockets and its dark golden skeleton, which were particularly conspicuous in the darkness.

“We’re being watched!” Oscar glanced at the skeleton warily and whispered to his companions, “This skeleton is different from the others we’ve encountered; it seems very strong. If it doesn’t bother us, let’s not provoke it!”

“Move faster!” Oscar instructed his followers, quickening his pace as well.

As they continued on their way, they didn’t encounter any other Wraiths. The presence of the skeleton soldier was so formidable that it made other Wraiths keep their distance. With it focusing on Oscar and his group, other Wraiths naturally didn’t dare to target them.

“Oscar, that skeleton soldier is still following us.” His followers were feeling creeped out. Every time they stealthily looked back, they saw the silhouette of the skeleton, its twin orbs of purple ghostly fire looking exceptionally sinister and terrifying in such a place.

“Let’s keep moving forward!” Oscar’s forehead began to sweat as he gritted his teeth and said, “As long as it doesn’t attack us, we don’t need to bother with it!”

The group, including the female ghost, ran for a while. To reassure his followers, Oscar forced a smile and said, “Haven’t you noticed? Ever since that skeleton started following us, we haven’t encountered any other Wraiths.”

“Maybe… this skeleton is here to protect us!”

No sooner had Oscar spoken these words than he heard William’s voice in his ear: “You really are good at self-deception!”

The idea that the skeleton soldier was following them for protection was a joke Oscar made with more confidence than he felt.

“William?”

Oscar jumped, startled by the voice that seemed to come right from beside him. He was wearing the X-Vanguard Armor, the latest creation from a research institute in New York, capable of detecting any living creature within a three-hundred-foot radius.

Yet, even with such high-tech gear, if William wanted to stay hidden, there was no way to detect him.

The fact that he hadn’t been able to identify the female ghost through his detectors had already proven to him that high-tech often proved useless.

“Aren’t you trying to kill me? Come on then!” William suddenly appeared three hundred feet away from Oscar, who, startled, fired two missiles from his armor.

The missiles hit William directly, the explosion deafening, with a blast wave that could be felt even beyond three hundred feet, tearing through the air.

“Damn it, asking for death!” Oscar sneered coldly, thinking how a novice Soulmancer daring to seek death deserved what came next… surely he was dead now…

Oscar and his followers were dumbfounded because they saw William standing there completely unharmed.

“Impossible! Did they miss?” Oscar couldn’t believe it and fired two more missiles.

But the result was the same!

These missiles, capable of severely injuring a Class-A fighter, had fired four times in a row and hadn’t even scratched William’s clothing.

“Could it be an illusion?” Oscar quickly calmed down, suspecting that this William might be an illusion, a trick of the skeleton soldier meant to deplete his ammunition.

“It must be an illusion!” The others agreed, as it seemed impossible to them that William could survive four direct missile hits.

If William were truly that powerful, Oscar should have been killed the moment he cursed at William. How could he have even entered the Doors of Terror?

Such a powerful being would consider his time too valuable to waste on idle chatter with them.

This was the analysis of Oscar and his group, but they might never know the truth.

Not only was William’s time not precious, but he was also genuinely bored. VIsit n0(v)eLb(i)n.𝘤𝑜𝓂 for the best novel reading experience

When Oscar thought it was all an illusion, William also disappeared.

However, just as he was coming back to his senses, one of his followers suddenly erupted in violence, drawing a blade and chopping off another companion’s arm.

The two started cursing and fighting each other…

William no longer needed to follow Oscar explicitly. Since these people cherished their freedom and played by the rule of ‘might makes right,’ William decided to enforce that rule to its extreme!

William had taken control of the system within this Terror space. Everyone who had entered with Oscar also heard William’s voice in their ears.

“Hello everyone, I’m William. I’m now in charge of the entire Doors of Terror. I hope you all have a great time.” William was no longer hiding his role, openly declaring himself the administrator of this Terror space.

This news was absolutely more terrifying to Oscar and his group than anything else!

My God, they had rushed into the Terror space to hunt down a man, only to find out that he was the administrator of the entire Terror space…

“William, you wouldn’t use your administrator status for personal revenge, would you?” Oscar shouted loudly. “You’re just an administrator. If you do something against the rules to specifically make things difficult for me, surely you’ll be punished too.”

William did not respond to Oscar. In such situations, silence is always better than any answer.s are filled with curiosity and fear of the unknown, and a silent response in such an environment can make people even more anxious!

In the art of manipulating minds, William was absolutely devilish.

“Hang in there! The day is almost over!” Oscar’s face was pale as he now regrouped with the others.

They discovered that the majority of those who had entered were still alive, but each person was followed by a powerful monster.

These monsters were uniformly terrifying in strength, yet they didn’t kill them outright; instead, they slowly followed behind. Whenever they attempted to stop, the monsters would surge forward to attack.

It seemed they were being herded.

If it was just herding, that might have been manageable, but people within their group kept suddenly going mad, attacking those next to them.

Even comrades who had fought side by side in the past could, in the next moment, turn weapons against each other.

Thus, gathering together did not provide a sense of safety, yet they dared not act alone. They were anxious and filled with contradictions and tension, their nerves constantly on edge.

“The first day is almost over, and our strength will increase!”

“As long as we can survive three days, just three days, we can get out of here!”

“I can’t stand this place for another moment!”

…

As the day passed, William’s voice came through to everyone.

“Please choose your rewards!”

The rewards finally arrived!!

Oscar finally breathed a sigh of relief. Indeed, even if William really was the administrator, the rewards they were due would still be given!

That was a relief.
