Chapter 1348: Second Store Upgrade Quest(16)
A sense of danger suddenly hit Laney. Since the leader of the team was not very far from her, he also sensed it.
The two immediately jumped on the other side. Not long after, a loud explosion rang in the area where the two were a moment earlier.
A startling scene unfolded nearby after the dust cloud dissipated. There should have been a pit at the spot of the explosion, but the ground was fine without even a single crack.
"Hehe!" Suddenly, playful laughter rang in the ears of Laney and the others.
Laney didn't have a very strong reaction, but the same couldn't be said for the man. His eyes popped out in shock since he had gotten an idea of who was behind the explosions.
Laney wasn't alone in Panagea; she had a partner. Seeing that things were not looking good, she immediately took out a card and summoned the Yellow King.

Card Description: The Yellow King is a formidable, majestic creature…]
The card contained the current details of the beast. The Yellow King reached peak Divine Lord even before Laney and had learned new skills.
The newly learned skills were either of the supporting type or the defensive type. Laney had a bad feeling looking at the scene in front of her and that eerie, playful laughter.
The leader was taken aback by the sudden appearance of the Yellow King. The Yellow King level wasn't anything worth feeling threatened over, so the leader was surprised at Laney's decision to summon it.
As soon as the Yellow King appeared, the laughter rang again. Laney looked at the beast, and it looked at her.
The Yellow King understood what Laney wanted from it, so it immediately activated [Light of Clarity]. Only Laney was the target of the skill, so the next moment, the view in front of her changed.
What was like a vibrant forest a moment earlier turned into a dead forest, with horror oozing from every corner of the area. Not far from Laney stood a weirdly ugly creature, looking at her with a hint of playfulness.
Laney's eyes jumped up in horror, while her body began to shudder as soon as she met those eyes of the creature. The smile on the creature's face froze since it never expected someone to find it.
The leader also noticed the sudden strong reaction from Laney, so he looked in the direction she was looking at. The leader saw nothing, but suddenly an idea seemed to have erupted in his mind.
The next moment, a sword appeared in his hand, and he instantly slashed, appearing at the spot.
It seemed like his sword would pass through the empty air, but suddenly something seemed to stop it. A smile spread across the leader's face, and the blade of the sword began glowing red.
"Do you know what makes this situation so horrific?"
While slashing, the leader suddenly turned around and asked Laney, who had a horrified expression.
At that moment, Laney was going through a horror scene where her family and Aakesh were hunting her.
The Yellow King also sensed the change in Laney, but sadly, it was too weak to help Laney fight the curse that the creature instinctively released when she looked directly into its eyes. It didn't feel tense since it was confident in Laney's ability.
The leader could see that he would get no response from Laney since her condition was severe, but he still answered.
"You see, the creature in front of us is a ghostly creature who can bind anyone in an instant illusion, and it can't be defeated unless its real body is found." He added, while his sword had begun to cut through the creature, "What's even more horrifying is that the creature is invisible and can't be seen by ordinary eyes."
The next moment, the sword cut the creature in two, ending its life.
"Despite such fearsome strength, it is unable to bear my sword." The man couldn't help but comment with a sigh.
The next moment, the illusion of the verdant forest disappeared, and a dead forest with rotten trees became a sight.
The corpse of the creature also appeared, and the man immediately bent down and began to take its eyes.
At that time, the curse on Laney had also slightly weakened, giving her a window to win. Laney didn't let go of that chance and broke through the horror scenes, returning to reality.
She could see the man trying to gouge the creature's eyes, and when he looked around, he found the two men, who should have died in the explosion, were still alive. But their conditions didn't seem fine; their faces were pale, and their bodies were thinner than before. It seemed that dying in illusion also cost something for the two men.
Thud! Thud!
Not long after, the two men crashed to the ground. The leader stopped his actions and looked at the two unconscious subordinates. He then shook his head and returned to his work.
