Anyone Dares Bully you, Call Uncles! novel Chapter 857

Pablo's cold sweat was not a result of finding the densely packed "people" scary, but rather due to a realization about the Ghosts Abyss. During his time serving as the judge under the Ruler of Hell, he learned that the abyss could erode a person's will, leading to a gradual loss of self. He had not even realized he was affected and had lost his way in the process.

"We're gonna have to break out!" Pablo exclaimed as he gritted his teeth.

He could not afford to lose himself, especially with Lilly relying on him.

How could he get lost?

The thought of what might happen to Lilly if he failed sent a shiver down his spine.

Ensuring Lilly was secure, Pablo tightened his grip on her.

He whispered to Lilly, "Lilly, hang on tight! We're gonna break out!"

In an instant, a dark light flashed, and Pablo found himself holding a long axe in his hand, ready to cut through the layers of strange fog.

The long axe, resembling an ancient weapon, possessed a robust and vigorous form, more akin to a large knife. With a decisive slash, he cleaved a path through the thick "human wall." His eyes exuded a cold determination as he forcefully created an opening.

As the violent wind roared in his ears once more, Pablo knew he had successfully broken through. He swiftly rushed out, carrying Lilly in his arms. However, as he emerged from the abyss, a haze suddenly clouded his vision, causing him to come to a stop.

The formless mist pervading the entire abyss is composed entirely of ghosts and woeful ghosts, yet lacks any discernible features such as a nose, eyes, or a complete face.

In front of him, the shadowy figure appears to have a face, possibly Ivan's.

Pablo's grip on the long axe abruptly halted as he saw Ivan's face appear and his mouth opening to lunge towards him and Lilly. Pablo could not bring himself to kill Ivan outright.

He could only bend down and swiftly fly past, stirring up a cloud of ashes...

The fourth stage of "Smoke and Dust" unfolded.

Pablo's silhouette burst through the ghostly barrier and vanished before the smoke and dust settled.

Within the mist, Ivan's face remained silent, staring blankly at the distant figure...

At this moment, Ivan lacked self-awareness.

Much like Pablo, upon landing, he made every effort to stay conscious, refusing to lose himself in the mist.

Even after enduring several impacts upon reaching the abyss floor, he maintained his vigilance, reminding himself to find a way back up.

But eventually, his body continued to wander into the abyss, searching for an escape route.

Unbeknownst to him, his soul departed from his body at some point, without his awareness.

Ivan's soul, now detached and merged with the mist, was gradually consumed and swallowed, leaving behind only a solitary face.

He vaguely recalled having a crucial thought, but it eluded his memory.

Thus, he continued to roam in the abyss until he caught sight of Lilly, almost perceiving a faint glimmer.

That light triggered something within him, yet he struggled to remember.

He hastened toward it, only to find that the light had vanished.
