I Really Am Not The Lord of Demon Chapter 28

Chapter 28: Connected to All Worlds

Han Li held a flashlight.

She was advancing back along the path that she had come from.

The fog was thick. It was so blurry that she couldn’t even see her fingers in front of her face.

Only the flashlight was able to illuminate the path ahead of her and guide her way.

Han Li felt certain that without this flashlight she would probably not be able to get out of this mist.

The fog seemed peaceful.

Unthreatening, in a way.

But was it really that simple?

She didn’t know, nor was she bold enough to take any gambles.

With no shenanigans whatsoever, she stiffly returned along the path that she had taken to get to the bookstore…

All of a sudden, she raised her head.

She shone the flashlight in front of her. Within the mist, a figure appeared.

It was vague, and couldn’t be vividly seen.

It was truly a person.

Han Li could feel the surging Spirit Power contained in that person’s body.

The overwhelming Spirit Power imparted worry into Han Li’s heart.

She was aware that even in the state she was in now, she couldn’t rival someone with such devastating Spirit Power.

Even on Earth, there was no demon hunter that was that powerful.

Because the stronger a demon hunter was, the faster the monsters and evil spirits that were sealed in his body could break out.

However, she felt no fear.

Because here, in this fog, it was the territory of the owner of the bookstore.

This was his realm!

And in her hand, she was holding a token bestowed by the great existence.

Amid the fog, she was the one who had the advantage.

Hence, after only a slight pause in her steps, Han Li continued to move forward.

The flashlight was s.h.i.+ning straight ahead.

Its blazing light quickly hit the person’s body, enabling Han Li to perceive the person’s essential outline through the mist.

It was a tall, burly man.

He was wearing a uniform. Because of the mist, Han Li couldn’t see the specific style of the uniform or the appearance of the man clearly.

But her own intuition was telling her that she and the man were probably of the same kind.

They were both soldiers.

And what’s more, they were soldiers on the front lines who were fighting to protect the people and the world.

This allowed Han Li to finally affirm the conjecture she’d always had in her heart.

“It is true…this is not the world where I live…”

“It’s an extraordinary s.p.a.ce established by the bookstore’s owner.”

“A mysterious place unbounded by time that can freely connect to countless worlds.”

After the Great Apocalypse, the concept of the existence of multiple universes had long been known by many people.

But this mist that defied time and s.p.a.ce was still beyond anyone’s imagination.

Han Li felt dumbfounded. Her heart was full of awe.

…

Situ He watched the person coming from a distance carefully.

The person kept on moving until he halted about three yards in front of him.

The light from the flashlight shone on him.

Now that the light was s.h.i.+ning nearby, Situ He could finally see that the person coming was a woman.

And what’s more, a very young girl.

It was just the hazy fog that had rendered him incapable of seeing the appearance of the one who was coming.

Previously, all he’d been able to see was a vague human figure.

“Young lady!” Situ He broke the silence. He kowtowed and asked, “Do you reside in this place?”

…

“Young lady!

“Do you reside in this place?”

Listening to him, Han Li speculated that he’d probably come into this place by mistake just like she had.

Or, in other words, he had been chosen by the bookstore owner who dwelled in this place.

She shook her head and answered, “No!”

She looked at this guy with some sympathy in her heart.

Because to Han Li’s understanding, people who had stepped into this place probably came from a world similar to hers, a place faced with the invasion of terrible enemies.

Perhaps this person came from a world severely corrupted by the Abyss.

Bearing the concept of common hatred for an enemy in mind, as Han Li pa.s.sed by him, she said all of a sudden, “The master of this realm is an almighty existence that no one can fathom.”

She pointed at the light flickering in the mist behind her. “Did you see that place?”

“The master of this realm is there, at that very light source!”

After saying that, Han Li strode forward with the flashlight in her hand.

…

Situ He watched as the girl holding a flashlight walked past him.

He’d wanted to make her stay.

However, he dared not.

Not only because the fog had imprisoned his magic.

It was also because at the instant that the thought appeared in his mind, he felt something. He felt a cold, strange aura, invading his body and mind, causing his scalp to go numb, his soul to tremble, and his blood to freeze.

He knew that this was a warning that couldn’t get any more obvious.

If he’d dared to attack her, he would die.

And his death would be very miserable.

Therefore, Situ He could only stand in place as he looked at the girl holding a flashlight walk past him and down the road.

Fortunately, the girl hadn’t ignored him completely as she’d walked past.

As she pa.s.sed him, she’d suddenly spoken. “The master of this realm is an almighty existence that no one can fathom.”

“Did you see that place?” She’d pointed in the distance, to the edge and depths of the mist. “The master of this realm is with that very light source.”

After saying these things to him, the girl had vanished in the mist with the flashlight in her hand without looking back.

Situ He watched as she disappeared into the mist. He raised his head and looked forward in accordance with her words.

Then, he saw it. In the depths of the mist, an electric lamp was flickering within some kind of dwelling.

“Why didn’t I notice that just now?” Situ He was shocked.

His years of experience were telling him that he should leave this place at once.

Because the danger and horror of this place might have already exceeded what he could possibly handle.

This mist alone was something that he couldn’t solve.

Moreover, there was still the thing in the depths of the mist.

Unfortunately, he looked around, but he couldn’t seem to find a way out.

What was even more terrifying was that he’d even felt the peril concealed within the depths of this seemingly harmless mist.

His intuition was telling him that, without permission, no one could leave this place.

He took a deep breath. On the face of this Major General of the Blackguard, tension and anxiety emerged for the first time in many years.

After hesitating again and again, he finally made up his mind and stepped forward.

That seemingly unreachable light was, in fact, not that far away.

He’d only walked for a few minutes before he came to the light.

At the place where the light shone, the influence of the mist became greatly reduced.

Situ He realized that his eyesight was recovering, and that he could see things that were close around him clearly.

His imprisoned magic was also slowly returning.

This made him even more horrified and even more afraid.

Because this could only mean one thing: the owner of this place, the existence within that light, doesn’t care about what powers he has at all.

This opponent was 10,000 percent confident that he could crush anyone who arrived before him.

Such confidence appalled Situ He.

This being left him shuddering in horror.

“When did such an ent.i.ty appear in the Federal Empire?” Situ He thought to himself.

But he knew that since he was already here, even if what lay before him was a dragon’s lair or a tiger’s den, he had to venture forward.
