Chapter 176 : The Appearance of Spirits
Chapter 176: The Appearance of Spirits
After a brief rest, Gauss and Arya got up and cautiously walked toward the deep green “birdcage” pavilion, stepping on the slippery moss-covered ground. Although this space was enveloped in lush greenery, the neatly arranged stone-paved floor beneath their feet and the relatively open surroundings, with little overgrown shrubbery, faintly revealed signs of artificial planning. It resembled an abandoned ancient public square rather than a purely natural cavern.
Clearly, this was also a ruin of an ancient civilization.
As they approached, the full appearance of the pavilion finally came clearly into view.
It was not a traditional stone gazebo, but rather something woven and entangled in an incomparably intricate manner from countless living, dark green, broad-leafed plants resembling ivy.

Intertwined, spiraling, and arching—ultimately forming a dome-shaped structure about three meters high and roughly two meters in diameter, creating a giant botanical birdcage.
The most striking feature was the faint green energy barrier enveloping the entire pavilion.

It resembled a thin, semi-transparent ripple of water or a layer of drifting mist, gently wrapping the plant pavilion within.
Through it, they could vaguely make out an entrance leading downward.
As for anything else, it remained indistinct.
“Can’t get in?” Arya tentatively tapped the surface of the pavilion with her Oak Staff.

Contrary to its delicate and fragile appearance, the feedback from the green plant pavilion was abnormally solid.
Gauss also swung his Refined Steel Longsword a few times, causing his palm to go numb from the recoil, but it had no effect whatsoever.
Afterward, he tried Magic Missile, Mage Hand, Fire Bolt, Burning Hands, and other cantrips and spells in succession.
But no matter what he used, those slender plants, leaves, and the hazy ripples all remained unmoved, firmly repelling everything.

This green pavilion clearly possessed a certain indestructible property, far beyond the power they currently wielded.
“There’s a recess here. Looks like something is supposed to be placed in it?”
Е n̂ū m̈ а̃.іd̄
Arya pointed to an oddly shaped indentation near the gate, naturally formed by the vines.
“Maybe we need to find a corresponding ‘key’ to unlock this pavilion?”
Gauss speculated, instinct telling him this was exactly the case.
He memorized the shape of the indentation carefully.
The two then searched the area thoroughly but unfortunately didn’t find any object with a matching shape.
“I wonder if we’re the first to discover this green pavilion,” Arya said, gazing at its interior.

Gauss shook his head. “Hard to say.”
If someone else had already been here, or if more people arrived later, it would mean more would be joining the search for this kind of “key.”
Still, the dungeon was vast, and considering it was still in the early open phase, it wasn’t surprising that only the two of them had found this place.
“Let’s set up camp here for the night,” Gauss said, scanning the area.
During their search for the “key,” they had already scouted the surroundings and found no immediate danger.
Moreover, compared to other areas, this hall had fewer insects—making it an excellent campsite.

The ambient glow in the air gradually dimmed.
Arya yawned.

Today’s activity had slightly exceeded their usual pace.
They woke up early, rescued an adventurer team in distress, searched for the entrance to the second floor, arrived and explored the second floor, killed a Mimic, continued exploring...
“Let’s eat dinner and get some rest,” Gauss said, still feeling energetic.
The spoon stirred in the pot.
Ē ńū m̈ а̃ . і̂ d
The stew made from Mimic tongue meat was soon ready.
A rich aroma quickly spread through the camp.
It turned out, with quality ingredients, anything cooked would taste good.
Unlike lunch, the preparation for dinner was a stew, yet it was still delicious.

After eating their fill, Arya grew even sleepier.
They picked a corner near the wall and pitched their tent.

Gauss scattered Repellant Powder around to ward off snakes and insects and carefully cast 【Alarm】.
After finishing everything, he sat by the bonfire, reading under its light.
Until a wave of sleepiness eventually crept in.
He patted Ulfen and Ike beside him, signaling them to stay alert.
Besides the Alarm Spell, Ulfen and Ike also served as the team’s guards.
Pulling back the tent flap, Gauss lay inside.

“Hmm?”
Drowsily, Gauss was startled awake by a strange disturbance.
He checked the Alarm Spell—it had been triggered.
His heart tightened.
The first thing he checked was the 【Gauss Force Field】—completely intact, without the slightest scratch.
This allowed him a small sigh of relief.

He then took out the Bone Wand from his Small Storage Bag.
Cautiously, he crawled out of the tent.

Outside, Ulfen was lying by the bonfire, asleep. He stirred as Gauss emerged, groggily raising his head.
The Raven Ike was lightly pacing on the nearby clearing.
Gauss looked around—everything in the camp seemed silent. The bonfire crackled—apparently, nothing was wrong.
“False alarm?” Gauss frowned.
Е̌n ūmа̄
He was certain he hadn’t seen anything unusual.
But this was the first time such an oddity had occurred—and in actual use, magic was generally quite stable.
The Alarm Spell had gone off several times before, but always for a reason: a large python slithering by or a hawk landing at the camp.
As for Ulfen and Ike triggering it? Impossible—they were set as exceptions.

Out of caution, Gauss woke Arya from the adjacent tent.
“What’s wrong?”
W еb no v̀ӗl Е_n̈ úṁ а
Arya rubbed her sleepy eyes and walked out, one cheek still marked red from the pillow.
“The Alarm Spell was triggered,” Gauss said.
“What?” Arya’s yawn froze mid-air, sleep instantly vanishing! She immediately drew her Oak Staff, tensely scanning around.
“Where’s the enemy? Where?”
However, like Gauss, she saw nothing out of the ordinary.
Then, a cold gust blew through.

Both Gauss and Arya shuddered—an icy chill pierced straight to their souls in an instant.
Where had that wind come from?
But the next moment—
Gauss quickly realized something was wrong.
With his constitution, there was no way a breeze should make him shiver.
Recalling the alarm, a theory formed in his mind.
Е n̈ŭḿå. ìd́
The faint glow of the 【Telepathic Bracelet】 spread across his eyes, and his vision began to shift slightly.
Carefully observing, he vaguely discerned some flickering, warped, indistinct shadows in the seemingly empty air.

“Wraiths?”
Gauss became more convinced of his suspicion.
Wraiths—also known simply as Spirits—were formless, drifting soul remnants. Normally, when sentient life died, their souls would naturally dissipate and wouldn’t become Spirits.
However, under certain special environments or through dark magic and rituals, Wraiths could come into being.
Е nüm ӑ .i d̂
They had an undead nature—needing no air, food, or sleep. Ordinary weapons could not harm them.
“Wraiths?”
Arya looked around uneasily.
With Gauss’s warning, she too felt an invisible chill encasing the camp, as though countless unseen eyes were watching from the darkness.

“Arf!”
Ulfen stood up—it hadn’t noticed much, but seeing its two masters alert, it became vigilant too.
E ñ ú m̄ã .і̆d̂
“What should we do now? Leave?”
“No need,” Gauss shook his head.
These Wraiths, craving life energy, had picked the wrong target.
Ordinary adventurers might be helpless against them—drained of their essence overnight and left in a daze the next day—but that didn’t apply to him.
He raised his Bone Wand and shouted:
“【Light Spell】!”

The spell, highly compatible with the Bone Wand, burst into dazzling radiance.
The hall was instantly lit like daytime.
“Aaaaaah!!!”
“!!!”
A chorus of shrill wails erupted as countless shadows twisted, struggled, and fled in panic under the blazing light.
Some that were too close were even directly slain by the Light Spell in moments, leaving behind faint black mist in the air.
