Reincarnated Lord: I can upgrade everything!

Chapter 266 Into The Spirit World [2]

Lowering his head, Asher glanced at the blue grass surrounding his squatting, naked figure. He raised an eyebrow but wasn't too surprised—Lord Winter had already informed him that he wouldn't have clothes here.When he met his ancestors, it was usually in a sealed territory created by the spirit he met. But this was different. For the first time, he was in the spirit world… like a man who had died.

At first, Asher felt everything strange—the unique-looking sky, the unnatural colour of the leaves. Yet, the most eye-catching difference was not what he saw but what he felt.

He was definitely in the spirit world.

'Why would I Am allow people to cross worlds without a price to pay? Isn't the gulf between both worlds as large as I thought?'

His white brows furrowed, and faint creases slowly formed on his forehead. Ignoring his nakedness, he stroked his chin and then began to aimlessly walk toward an unknown destination.

'I might have no idea why a God would make it possible for worlds to be breached, but I need to get out of this forest before I encounter a beast.'

With this thought in mind, he took large strides, marking trees as he walked past them. Time stretched, and after what seemed like hours, Asher heard the neigh of a horse causing his eyes to brighten. Quickening his pace, he finally stumbled upon a path.

It was wide enough for a cart or carriage and the lack of grass on the path assured Asher that people frequently travelled through it.

Crouching behind a shrub, he watched a cart approach. A man sat at the front of the cart, holding the reins to the two jet-black horses pulling the cart. Inside the cart, two others sat. One stared at the sky, while the other held a sheathed sword and stared at it as if he was

Right then, the cart made a turn and a house came into his view, tucked near the edge of the forest, surrounded by large rocks.

Just by the side of the two-storey building were two men swinging their swords against each other. Although it didn't seem like much, Asher could see the formless ripples spreading outward each time they clashed.

But for some reason, he couldn't gauge their rank. It was like the energy they were using was different from the forces he had encountered in Boundless.

"We're here," Merari said in a light tone.

Asher's sharp ears picked up a faint noise from the sea, prompting him to turn his gaze toward the shores.

Just then, a massive figure burst from the water—a shar-like beastman flying over 300 meters before crashing heavily onto the sand.

The impact erupted a cloud of sand in all directions. Asher's eyes narrowed. 'There's no such thing as a beastman with traits of a sea beast. Is he a human with a talent that alters his physical appearance?'

While pondering, he watched the man slowly revert back to his human form as he walked closer to them. The man was lean, about 5.8 feet tall.

He didn't have any striking features, but Asher's instincts warned him of this man's talent. 'He must be one of those whose talents compensate for their lack of combat ability.'

"That's David," Merari said with a faint smile. "Don't be afraid of him but don't bleed around him."

Asher glanced at Merari, sensing the weight beneath his words.

"Why?"

Asher asked softly.

Mahil and Mushi exchanged a glance before Mushi spoke. "Just listen—or you'll become another prey."

After saying that, he leaped down the cart, his brother following behind.
