Different World: The Devil's Coming

Chapter 269 What Chenxi fears

In the days that followed, Mo Fan and Xiyue continued to read books and complete tasks. However, this time, Xiyue supervised Mo Fan in reading books. Although this would reduce Xiyue's efficiency, Mo Fan could still give some good suggestions in some areas. So in general, Xiyue was still happy to supervise.

On the other hand, Lan Kexin and Ai Li also trained harder in their respective academies, just to improve their strength as much as possible, so as to avoid being left behind by Chenxi as Mo Fan said.

In the Road of Judgment, Mo Fan, led by the King of the Blue Sea Empire, went to the bottom of the sea to accept his punishment.

Chenxi and Ellie came to a door of the cathedral and waited quietly for the Pope to arrive.

But it seemed that the Pope was a little late. It took a full hour for the Pope to finally arrive. Ellie couldn't help but wonder what her mother had said to the Pope that took so long?

The Pope glanced at the two of them calmly, then put his hand on the door.

Magic power flowed out from the Pope's body and slowly spread along the lines on the door. Soon, the lines were completely filled and the door opened.

Behind the door is a pitch-black world where nothing can be seen. Even if the light from outside shines in, it cannot illuminate the area outside the door.

"go in."

The Pope uttered three words quietly, then stood aside without saying anything.

Chenxi and Ellie looked at the dark door, then looked at the Pope. In the end, they did not ask the question in their hearts, but walked in directly.

When the darkness enveloped the two people until their figures completely disappeared, the door closed.

"Chenxi... don't let go, I'm scared..."

"Don't worry, I'm here."

Ellie said cautiously, and Chenxi walked in front and replied gently.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, a faint light appeared in front of their eyes, and then this ray of light illuminated the entire world.

The two were no longer in the church, but in another place, a... dilapidated village?

Looking at the dilapidated village in front of them, Chenxi and Ellie looked at each other and saw worry in each other's eyes.

"Are we... going in?"

Ellie asked in fear. Chenxi seemed much calmer...

"If it was Mo Fan, what would he do..."

"Mo Fan...he...he shouldn't go in."

"Yes, Mo Fan said that if you know the situation is not right and there is no urgent situation, then retreat first. If you can't retreat, then staying where you are is better than moving forward."

The two of them did what they thought and rested outside the village.

Although the surrounding forest was still dark, it was not a problem for the two.

Ellie used wood magic to build a small tree house, and Chenxi lit a small ball of light inside the tree house to illuminate it, and the two of them rested inside.

Time passes slowly. Is this punishment really so easy?

of course not.

As night fell, the tree where the two lived began to shake. Without Ellie noticing anything wrong, the tree stood up and swung its branches to knock the tree house down.

Chenxi and Ellie quickly ran out of the tree house and watched the forest in front of them begin to twist. Big trees rose from the ground and moved towards them.

Ellie tried to control them with wood magic, but it was of no use.

"how come!?"

Chenxi's heart moved, and without saying anything more, he quickly pulled Ellie and ran towards the village.

When the two entered the village, peace returned to the forest, and the big trees took root again and returned to their former appearance.

However, looking at the village in front of them, both of them couldn't help but feel uneasy.

Walking slowly towards the village, it was difficult to find an intact house in this dilapidated village.

The village was not big, and the two of them quickly toured the entire village.

In the end, the two chose to live in the dilapidated church in the village. After all, one of them was a saint, and the sense of security brought by the church was much better than other houses.

Ellie used wood magic to repair the church, otherwise they were both afraid that the roof would fall off. Chenxi tried to pray here. Although the statue of the goddess was not complete and almost half of it fell to the ground, Chenxi still wanted to try.

"How about it?"

Seeing that Chenxi had finished praying, Ellie immediately stepped forward and asked. But Chenxi shook his head solemnly, indicating that it had no effect.

Ellie lowered her head in disappointment, and Chenxi also expressed her guess.

"Perhaps this is an illusion, an illusion used by the church to punish criminals, which can arouse the deepest fear in people's hearts."

"Fear? But this place doesn't look familiar to me. If it's the fear in my heart, then it should be a scene I'm familiar with."

Chenxi smiled bitterly and shook his head and said.

"It's not like that. Maybe what you fantasized about when you were a kid will also be here."

"Fantasy? Isn't that something that doesn't exist?"

"Yes, but this is an illusion. Things that don't exist can become real."

It’s like I saw many Mo Fans with different personalities.

Chenxi added in his mind. Experiencing an illusion within an illusion. Although it was not the first time, Chenxi still found it a little funny.

If the illusion outside is used to test one's determination, then this illusion is used to punish oneself. Wouldn't the two conflict?

Chenxi shook his head and didn't think about these useless questions.

"Yeah, come to think of it, I did worry when I was little, what if my wood magic didn't work. That's why I majored in archery."

Ellie pondered for a moment and said, This also corresponds to the big trees before.

Chenxi nodded, looked at the village outside the church, and muttered to himself.

"Then could it be that this deserted village before my eyes is the fear in my heart?"

Chenxi didn't understand, because she didn't know when she had ever seen an uninhabited small village, and it was such a dilapidated village at that.

Seeing this, Ellie did not disturb Chenxi. After all, if Chenxi could remember, it would be of great benefit to both of them.

But no matter what, Chenxi still couldn't remember.

With no other options, the two of them could only stay in this church. They never expected that they would stay there for three months.

Over the course of three months, Chenxi's body gradually weakened, and even Ellie's constant use of treatment was of no avail. Chenxi's own various buffs also had no effect on her.

It was as if... the dawn had already entered the countdown.

Ellie anxiously explored the village every day, and even ran into the forest to find a way to leave. But in the end, Ellie was seriously injured and thrown out by the big trees.
