Chapter 375 – Dwelling of the Souls of the Dead (3)
In a house covered in thick smoke, the smell of decayed wood mingled with the scent of blood, and the ghostly souls of the dead roamed the long corridors.
– Ah-ah!
– Kill, kill, kill…
– Tear off ears, gouge out eyes, cut off nose and tongue!
– Kill, kill, kill!
Souls dragged from side to side, humming a song. They danced and laughed. Although their bodies were translucent, their appearance could not but frighten: a skull split into two parts, flowing brains, dropping eyes and a strangely curved spine. They, like the hellish creatures, possessed sharp claws, and instead of teeth they had fangs.
Creatures created only to to instill in a person the fear of the unknown. All people are afraid of what they do not know. Therefore, these monsters were much more terrible than the already known hellish creatures.
– A-ah-ah…
In the room with dancing souls, the groan of young people nailed to the wall was heard. Surrounded by ghosts, they screamed in terror. The spirits were amused by human fear, which made them laugh out loud. One of the ghosts looked back and the others followed suit.
– People came.
– Kill, kill, kill!
– Who will be this time? How will they shout?
The ghosts were more uplifted by this, and they, laughing, started dancing again, moving towards the uninvited guests.
– What’s the first to tear off this time?
– What’s the first to bite off?
A satisfied voice of ghosts was heard from all sides. They headed to the place where the next victims were waiting for them.
– Huh?
Suddenly for themselves they found themselves in a corridor filled with green tentacles, from which nasty pus was draining. No matter how you look at it, the scene is not pleasant.

– What’s going on?
– What is this?
The souls of the dead intuitively felt fear, they stopped dancing and sing. The tentacles began to move, squelching nasty.
– Ahhh!
A dark-haired youth appeared between them. The man for whom the ghosts came. He got out of the nasty tentacles and looked at the ghosts.
– This is a human.
– Time to have fun!
They felt the thirst to kill again and sang songs as they started dancing.
– No! Master! P-p-ghosts! The ghosts have appeared!
A woman’s scream suddenly began to come from somewhere, and the tentacles filling the corridor moved and enveloped the guy again.
– Ahhh!
From under the disgusting green cocoon, only one hand peeped out, which piteously shook in the air, scratching the nearest wall. The hand gradually disappeared into green tentacles, and as a result, gathering all his strength, he began to write on the wall: “The culprit is Lily…”
-Ah-ah! They are coming! The ghosts are coming!
Hearing a wild woman’s scream, the souls of the dead fell silent, and the hand protruding from the tentacles disappeared again. The ghosts bowed their heads in surprise.
– What’s going on?
– The Master sent Him?
– Who is this?
They approached with interest the monster devouring a human.
–
At first the woman’s scream became even louder, and then abruptly stopped. In a moment, the tentacles filling the corridor weakened and fell to the ground. The youth who had just been drowning in mucus slowly rose to his feet. He shook his head, regaining consciousness and regaining concentration.
– A man has appeared!
– He’s alive! Alive!
– Let’s kill the man before others notice him?
– Catch and kill! Let’s kill!
They were inspired by the fact that they could finish off a man alone, and again began to dance for joy.
– So it’s you… – said the guy with a sharp look sharply. “You’re doing this.
There was not a drop of fear from the person standing right in front of them. There was nothing but anger and intense rage. The spirits bowed their heads in surprise. They could not understand such a reaction in any way.
– We didn’t do anything.
– We haven’t done anything yet.
At least this guy they haven’t touched a finger yet.
– Didn’t do anything, you say? – his voice wavered.
The dark corridor became even darker, and the whole house shook. The guy started walking slowly.
– What a bastard! He growled suddenly.
The terrible Magi immediately spread from him, and the ghosts trembled. A great fear enveloped them.
– What’s going on?!
– We are nothing…
– Me! – the guy rushed forward.
In an instant he grabbed the head of the ghost who was closest. In theory, it is impossible to even touch a dead soul, but Kang Woo grabbed him, as if it should be so.
– A-ah -and! – before the ghost could realize what was happening, he screamed.
Black energy began to flow into the translucent body, tearing his image from the inside.
– I tried so hard!
The ghost’s head clenched under the pressure of Kang Woo’s hand and shattered into pieces.
– Free yourself from these terrible tentacles!
Of course, there was no blood and flesh scattered to the sides, but nothing remained of his head. The rest of the ghosts immediately turned around and rushed to run after seeing this terrible scene of reprisals.
– No!
– We didn’t do anything!
– We didn’t nothing wrong!
They desperately tried to justify themselves, but it was no use.
– A-a-agrh! – the roar of a wild beast sounded again.
In the dwelling of the souls of the dead, created in order to instill terror in people, real hell unfolded only now.
***
– Sorry!
– We were wrong, we were wrong!
The ghosts trembled with fear. What was meant for people returned to them in full.
-Ah-ah!
A terrible roar was heard with every step. The ghosts, created in order to horrify all life in this world, themselves shook with fear of the unknown.
– Monster! He’s a monster!
– Save!
They began to climb over the high wall just to escape. Several of them even managed to escape the wrath of the lord of Hell and get out. Kang Woo did not pursue them. He has already cooled down to some extent.
– Inhale-exhale…
He calmed down and turned around, looking around. There are no more ghosts in the house.
– A… —Now common sense has returned to him.
Kang Woo frowned and scratched the back of his head.
– It was necessary not to kill a couple and take prisoners.
At least to understand who they are and why they suddenly appeared in this small village.
“It sounds strange to take a ghost prisoner,” Kang Woo shook his head.
As anger suddenly rolled over him, he killed everyone he saw. Those who managed to escape are probably already so far away that Kang Woo will never find them, and given that they have no bodies, they may have disappeared altogether.
Damn.
Kang Woo started regretting, but it was already late. Even among the hundreds of Powers that he possessed, there was not one that could restore the destroyed soul.
– Hmm… – he clicked his tongue.
– Kang Woo! What was that?!
Si Hoon and Layla came running to the menacing growl and pitiful cries of ghosts.
– Ah… this is… – Kang Woo didn’t know how best to answer and scratched his head.
He could not tell that because of these damn ghosts he was enveloped in Lilith’s tentacles, which angered him greatly, and he killed them, despite the fact that in theory it is impossible to even touch them.
– We were just suddenly attacked by ghosts.
– What? – Si Hoon’s eyes widened.
Since spirits, by definition, have no body, Kang Woo could say anything, because the evidence still no.
– Did you put them all alone?
– Of course they weren’t strong.
In fact, Kang Woo is not knew. Due to the fact that he lost his temper, he just brutally killed them on the spot, without even giving them a chance to prove themselves.
“Still…”
He was confident that Si Hoon and the rest of the team could handle them.
“Because I didn’t feel any resistance at all.”
And they didn’t have any weapons. Even though they look so scary that you just want to close your eyes, this is where it ends.
– I see…
– Let’s continue.
Although the ghosts from the house have disappeared, they have not yet obtained any information.
– Ah-ah…
They went further along the corridor and, going up to the room, they heard a groan. This sound was exactly different from what the ghosts made, and more like the voice of a living person. Kang Woo pushed the door hard and walked in.
– This is…
He immediately frowned as soon as he saw what was in the room. Kang Woo has long been accustomed to contemplating scary pictures, but what he saw even in him caused anxiety.
– What a nutcase…
If Kang Woo was shocked, what about Si Hoon? He opened his eyes wide and gripped the sword handle with force.
– My God…
Leila followed them into the room and, closing her eyes in horror, looked up.
– Oh-oh…
Kang Woo was looking at people who had been tortured by the terrible torture. There were twenty-eight of them. You don’t need to think long about who they are.
“Missing. They were… tortured.”
– Kang Woo…
– Wait.
The guy bit his finger, and blood began to flow from him. He used the Power of Restoration to heal one of the victims of human ghosts.
– Kill… kill me, please…
– Late…
Kang Woo shook head, looking at the restored human body. Physically, he had no problems, since all the wounds were completely healed. But in the eyes of the people caught by the ghosts, fear was read, and nothing more.
– Agh! – Si Hoon clenched his fists in anger.
He kicked the floor. Leila came up to him and, sighing, took his hand.
– Si Hoon…
They both stood helplessly and, biting their lips, looked at a terrible picture reflecting the result of the torture. Kang Woo closed his eyes. He did not feel the same feelings as the Si Hoon and Leila standing in front of him. He had no reason for that. All he needs is information.
“Why…” One question popped into his head. “Why are they alive?”
He looked at all the missing, nailed to the wall. They were in such a terrible state that it even hurts to look at them. The eyes were ripped out, the ears were cut off, and the whole body was covered with many wounds. But even so, they are alive.
“They were specially kept alive.”
They were not going to be tortured until they died. The wounds were inflicted in such a way that they would definitely not die. They were alive, and could scream in pain and shake with fear.
“Why didn’t the ghosts kill them?”
He didn’t understand. It was difficult for him to understand their train of thought. Why they were tortured – it is understandable, the ghosts liked it when someone was afraid of them.
“But why weren’t they finished off?”
They forcibly left them alive when they just wanted to die.
