Arran and Brianna were making their way through a region of dense black fog. The thickness of this fog was so much that nobody could see more than five meters around them.It was very easy to get lost in a fog like this and were it not for the fact that Brianna was holding onto Arran's hands, she would have already lost him a long time ago.Although Brianna could not see anything at all, she was not too bothered about this and she simply let Arran lead her through the fog. Occasionally, Brianna would be able to hear some movement in the fog like the shuffling of feet or the low whispers of voices in the dark. she knew that these sounds were made by the other participants who were also in the fog with them.Sometimes, there would be sounds of panic coming from the fog as participants bumped up against each other. Since visibility was very poor inside here as well as the fact that there were too many participants gathered together in one place, it was common for t

An undead uprising had occurred and countless undead skeletons crawled out of the earth and attacked the participants in the fog.With visibility being low, and there being panic due to the sudden attack of the undead skeletons, there was bound to be chaos.With the undead skeletons attacking the participants in large hordes, the participants retaliated indiscriminately, meaning that they did not care who or what they hit with their attacks. So far as anything so much as got within attacking distance of them, they would attack. Because of this, not only did the participants shave to watch out for the attacks of the undead skeletons, but they also had to make sure that they were not hit by the indiscriminate attacks of the other participants.Still, that was not where the main problem lay.The main problem facing the participants was that they could not stay in one place for very long. Not only was it a bad idea to stay in a place infested with the undead,

What is an ominous land?This was a term used to define a place where large amounts of negative energy of any kind gather.Not all lands with negative energy can be called ominous lands.Usually, ominous lands are naturally born due to outside interference and it takes countless years for any land to accumulate enough negative energy to be considered an ominous land. the requirements for this are fairly strict.In the case of an ominous land of death, it is a place where countless deaths had taken place over a long period of time to the extent that the death energy generated had reached a point where it is no longer possible to purify or dissipate naturally.The death energy that should have filled this land completely was instead hidden deep in the earth where it would absorb and nurture undead creatures leaving only a physical manifestation in the form of deep dark fog. That was the only way to explain things and in most cases, there would be no

"Hey, I'm being very serious over here Arran. You should really leave me behind and go ahead on your own. I'll really be okay so you don't have to worry."Brianna insisted that Arran leave her behind so that she would not be a burden to Arran whatsoever and he can focus on clearing this elimination round.Hearing as Brianna was still insistent on this, the smile on Arran's face gradually cooled, and replacing it was an indifferent look that Brianna had never seen before.Caught by surprise, Brianna had e feeling that she may have offended Arran in some way.Brianna wanted to apologize to Arran for that."Hey arr..."Just as Brianna was about to speak up, Arran immediately cut her off by saying."You really know how to look for trouble don't you?""What!" Brianna was stunned. She didn't know what Arran was talking about."I mean, you keep going on and on about me leaving you behind and leaving on my own so I assumed that

Since the Clandestine Ethereal Physique was compatible with all types of energies, it made sense that Arran would not be negatively affected by the death energy surrounding him. In fact, instead of being weakened like any other living being, Arran was instead strengthened by the high concentration of death energy in this land.With the eruption that had just occurred, the death energy that was hidden inside the earth had now come up to the surface creating an ideal environment for the undead and this had inadvertently benefited Arran unknowingly.Nobody could have ever expected this, but even if this was the case, it did not mean that things would be easier for Arran from this point on.Despite the fact that Arran was able to retain his combat strength in this death energy infested land and he was even able to subconsciously absorb some of the energy that would have been poisonous to other living beings into his body, the fact remained that Arran was still a liv
