Chapter 167: The Spirit World of the Berserk Sea

“Desi pies use more filling than the ones in Backlund, but they like adding certain local spices. The first few bites feel a little strange, yet once you get used to it, it has a flavor all its own…”

Inside his hotel room, Klein sat with considerable comfort, sometimes biting into an oily pie, sometimes drinking a little cool, refreshing sweet iced tea.

After eating and drinking his fill, he did not immediately tidy up. Instead, he picked up the top hat resting on the nearby chair and placed it on his head.

At the same time, the glove on his left palm suddenly turned transparent. His entire person rapidly faded and vanished.

Klein entered the spirit world, intending to Travel to Bodo Harbor in the Berserk Sea and search for food for Creeping Hunger.

The Eskelson Harbor where he currently was did indeed belong to Desi Bay, but it did not sit on any point of the mainland coastline. This was an island—the southernmost island of Desi Bay. Crossing beyond it meant one was about to enter the Berserk Sea.

Therefore, after Klein had only traveled for one second toward his predetermined coordinates, an abnormal scene appeared before his eyes.

Nearby spirit-world currents took shape and coiled into wind, howling as they enveloped a vast region whose edges could not be seen. Within them, the light was dim, dark clouds piled upon one another, and lightning tinged with a deep, profound feeling streaked across again and again, illuminating the surrounding scene like the end of the world.

At that moment, Klein seemed to have arrived upon an ocean ruled by an unending storm. Yet he knew, clearly and truly, that this was the spirit world.

“As expected, just as many mysticism books mention, the power released when Death fell not only changed the climate and environment of the ocean between the Northern and Southern Continents, filling it with natural disasters and countless dangerous currents, causing it to be named Berserk; it also broke the barrier between reality and illusion, contaminating and damaging the corresponding spirit world, making the two sides influence one another… In the Berserk Sea region, if one holds rituals involving the spirit world, or uses abilities related to the spirit world, there is a high chance an accident will occur and unexpected changes will arise…”

Klein sighed inwardly, using what he had personally seen to verify the records in the books.

In his view, if not for this, the nations of the Northern Continent would not have needed to wait until Emperor Roselle discovered safe sea routes before they had the opportunity to invade the Southern Continent. After all, to many high-Sequence powerhouses, natural barriers in the ordinary sense could be bypassed directly.

Roselle’s safe sea routes were not merely geographical. They were mystical as well!

In other words, because the Berserk Sea and the corresponding spirit world influenced each other and overlapped, Klein could directly refer to local nautical charts and travel through the disasters within the spirit world.

Recalling the material he had read earlier, Klein found the correct position and entered that dark, dim spirit-world region.

The sound of howling winds came from all directions. Even though it was only the aftershock, it blew into Klein and produced a chill that seemed to rise from the depths of his soul or bone marrow. This made him believe that if he were moving about in spirit body form without using the Black Emperor card, the Tyrant card, or Azik’s copper whistle to reinforce and elevate himself, he might already have suffered rather serious injuries.

And if he were not on a “safe route” and faced the black storm brimming with the aura of death head-on, he felt that even with a physical body, he most likely could not withstand it.

Compared with the wild winds, the deep lightning was even more dangerous. Klein suspected that he could not endure even a single bolt. As for the hidden…
