COMING OF THE MARTIAL GOD, VOLUME 2 - Season 8 Episode 19

Austin and the others were shocked to see the grey and white fog spreading out from the end corner of the street. It slowly covered most of the avenue and crept towards the location where Austin and his companions stood.

“Back! Let’s move backward. The fog looks strange! This doesn’t seem right!” Austin commanded, staying alert as the fog neared them.

He could feel, instinctively, a sense of danger arousing from his heart.

“There is a pair of eyes in the white fog!” Dahlia, the girl dressed in purple, and her maid shouted in unison.

Austin, too, immediately saw two rays of faint lights flashing away quickly within the grey and white fog.

They looked, indeed, like a pair of eyes. And except for this pair, the body could not be seen. Even though the grey mist was very thick, it could not fully cover the body of a human being or whatever creature it might be. Therefore, if there was really a body, Austin could have seen it.

However, peculiarly, the four only saw the strange pair of eyes and could not see any other parts of body or other things in the fog.

They kept observing for a moment to further scrutinize what might be in the mist.

“Not only one pair of eyes! There are many pairs of eyes there!” Tessa exclaimed too!

As they were looking at the first pair of eyes, more and more pairs slowly appeared inside the mist. However, like the first pair, all the eyes merely flashed once and disappeared soon. Still, mysteriously, no bodies were found in the fog.

And they could not help but feel scared at that unusual finding.

Usually, being a cultivator, Austin and the other three present had refined spiritual sense and were not supposed to be afraid of actual ghosts. But that strange occurrence still made them more or less feel frightened.

“Oh, no! Look! There is white mist flying from the back!”

The girl in the purple dress shouted again. Indeed, there were clouds of fog spreading from the end of the opposite street and flying towards them. Aghast, they had no idea where the fog had originated.

With the strange fog locking them from where they stood, the four could not find a way to escape from it.

“Austin, how about we go and hide in the houses along the street?”

Tessa suggested, seeing the approaching fog slowly surrounding them.

“That might not work. Even if we hide in these houses, the fog will still penetrate through it. And as you can see, those houses look like they have been vacated for a long time. We don’t know what might await us if we go inside.

Anyway, everything else here looks weird. We’d better not rush,” Austin analyzed and expressed his thoughts.

“Hey, what shall we do now? The fog will reach us any second!”

The girl in the purple dress was in a panic, asking Austin in a soft yet alarmed tone.

“All of you follow me closely. Let’s pass through this white fog and run out of the street!”

Austin instructed after gauging the situation for a while.

In just a short time, the fog gradually encircled the streets, surrounding Austin and the other three.
“Be Careful”

Austin suddenly reminded them when the fog was less than a hundred meters away from them.

In fact, that distance was the scope within which Austin’s remaining spiritual sense could reach.

Austin found many faint figures in the approaching grey and white fog. The shapes of these figures looked like a human, but they were transparent. The vague shapes could not be seen by the naked eyes and could only be felt by the spiritual sense.

‘What are these?’ Austin thought in his heart. He concentrated his attention and summoned his spiritual sense to focus on the figures within the dense fog.

After a while of analyzing, Austin slightly took a deep breath. He finally knew what the light black figures hidden in the grey and white fog were. The figures were clusters of many human’s spiritual souls!

Those human’s spiritual souls wandered in the fog, like fishes, which kept swimming in the water. They did not have apparent features, and some without complete hands or feet. Their bodies twisted from time to time and their shapes kept changing, making them appear extremely bizarre. .

“Where is my body?

Where is my body? As the white mist on both sides moved nearer, the four began to hear low murmurs. It sounded like someone was looking for something.

‘These spiritual souls are looking for their bodies! It seems as if they haven’t lost their consciousness.’ Austin was so surprised to find out and thought over the situation in his mind.

“Austin, I am not quite sure, but I do see some faint figures in that fog. And I could also feel the movement of spiritual sense.

Are these spiritual souls?” Tessa also saw countless faint figures hidden in the fog.

That moment, the fogs on both sides of the street were on the verge of merging and were around twenty meters away from the four.

The girl in the purple dress and her maid owned similar vital energy state to Tessa, enabling them to find out what the figures were too.

“Yes, you are right. These are human’s spiritual souls. However, it seems that even though they had left their bodies, they kept their consciousness and sanity. What’s more, they look like they’re trying to look for their bodies now. I don’t know what’s causing this, but whatever it is, it’s so strange.

Don’t they know that they died already?

Or is there any other particular reason that kept them here?”

Austin said doubtfully.

Generally speaking, after the death of someone, the spiritual souls would leave the body and couldn’t exist for a long time. Without the body as a carrier, the spiritual souls would soon dissipate and become a part of the spiritual energy in the world.

However, after the death of human’s bodies, if there were appropriate Secret Weapons, or if in some special circumstances, the spiritual souls could be preserved.

It seemed that that grey and white fogs were the very reason why these spiritual souls still existed with their consciousness.

“Where is my body? Where is my body?”

The constant murmurs began to get closer and closer to them. It seemed that there were hundreds of spiritual souls hidden in the fog. So many spiritual souls muttered together at the same time, making the whole space vibrate with low sounds and a strange chorus effect.

The murmurs gradually affected the person who heard it, blurring their minds slowly. Unconsciously, they followed the trails of the sounds and started to murmur the same words.

As the grey and white fog moved closer, Austin and his companions were affected by the murmurs of these spiritual souls on different levels.

Austin was surprised to find that his spiritual souls within his Souls Sea seemed to be summoned by a call. They showed a sign as if they were about to leave his Soul Sea with the loosen connection with his mind.

However, Austin’s spiritual sense was very strong that he once sensed the sign, he immediately sobered up. He then released his powerful spiritual sense in his Soul Sea to form a solid wall of spiritual sense, shielding his spiritual souls and keeping those impact out of his mind.

“Where is my body? Where is my body?” Suddenly, Austin was surprised to find that the three ladies beside him began to murmur gently in the same way.

‘That’s dangerous! Based on the strength of their spiritual sense, if I do not intervene, I am afraid that their spiritual souls would soon fly out of their bodies!”

Austin started to understand from where the flock of spiritual souls in the fog originated. Was it possible that these humans, like the four of them, accidentally encountered the mysterious mist and were trapped here? Their spiritual souls were influenced by the murmurs, separating them from their bodies, and wandering around in the fog.
