[1st Bonus Chapter of the Week]
Matthew Atkinson & Natalie Russell
First Layer of the Supernatural Realm
This heavily armored knight was the 'hospitable' Earl Linley mentioned by the sheriff!
It was the first time Natalie had seen this monster Earl, and she couldn't help but look at him.
"Don't look into his eyes!!"
Denis Read quickly warned her.
Unfortunately, it was too late.
Under the dim scarlet light, the heavily armored knight's eyes were like two small black holes, involuntarily attracting Natalie's attention.
When Natalie's eyes met his, she groaned instantly, her body swayed slightly, and she almost fell.
She felt that her mind had suffered from an unknown mental attack, causing strong negative effects.
Fortunately, Natalie had a strong mental attribute, and her willpower was much stronger than Denis Read's and others'. That's why she was able to resist it.
There were only some negative effects, such as irritability, dizziness, nausea, and an urge to vomit.
Natalie endured it all, but she was shocked.
'This monster... is so powerful! Just looking at him caused me to suffer a mental shock!' She thought.
Then, Natalie remembered what her father had warned her when she was at home!
There were some extremely evil and terrifying beings in the supernatural realm, with powers that were 'unbearable to directly look at'.
If someone lacked sufficient willpower, they would experience negative effects just by looking at it.
In the mildest case, they would lose the ability to fight. In the worst case, they would go crazy and become a mindless person who no longer recognizes anyone.
Her father told her seriously that if she encountered such a powerful entity in the supernatural realm, she should escape it as soon as possible.
…
What Natalie didn't expect was that there was such a monster in the first level of the supernatural realm.
Wasn't this a serious excess?
No wonder Filip Walker and the others lost their fighting spirit as soon as they saw that it was the Earl.
How could someone fight a monster like this when they couldn't even look at it?
Natalie was unwilling to lose like this. She gritted her teeth, raised her head again, and stared straight at the heavily armored monster.
This time, she felt better because she was prepared.
However, under the gaze of the heavily armored monster, it was definitely impossible for her to exert her full combat power.
It would be good if she could exert 70% of her combat power.
Before, Denis Read and others couldn't even stop the monster for a moment.
Natalie didn't think that with 70% of her combat power, she could withstand such a monster.
'This time, I'm afraid we are in great danger.' Thinking of this, Natalie's already pale face turned even more pale.
"How could there be such a monster in the first level of the supernatural realm?"
Natalie muttered to herself.
It wasn't that she miscalculated, but that she hadn't thought of it at all!
"Natalie, thank you for saving us."
Denis Read didn't dare look at the Earl. His expression was solemn and resolute. He repeated his previous proposal: "When the monster attacks, I will buy you some time. Meanwhile, run away!"
Unexpectedly, Filip Walker, who had been frightened back to his original form, actually spoke up, "Yes! Natalie, these monsters are more afraid of your fire. Among us, only you have a chance to escape. I will also buy you time... If you can escape, can I ask you for a favor?"
Natalie sighed and spoke. "What is it?"
Initially, she looked down upon Filip Walker, a coward who loved his life but feared death.
But now things have changed.
"If you can return alive, I hope you can bring a message to my father, saying that I am his son and that I have already forgiven him..."
Natalie: "…"
A teammate couldn't help but remind him: "Filip, this layer is an amnesiac layer. Even if Miss Natalie can get out, she will still lose her memory!"
Hearing this, Filip Walker was stunned at first, then broke down and burst into tears!
At the moment, the sound of horse hooves suddenly stopped.
Natalie looked ahead and saw that the heavily armored monster had come to the front of them; it was less than fifty meters away.
Filip Walker's crying stopped abruptly!
A look of despair and fear appeared on his face again.
The Indian supernatural team was so frightened that they stepped back, but they dared not look at the heavily armored monster.
The only person in the audience who could stand and look the monster in the eye was Natalie!
-Puff
The flame was rekindled in the girl's hand. Her pretty face was even more determined.
It seemed that she intended to fight the monster to the end.
Seeing this, the heavily armored monster immediately jumped off its horse.
His horse was not an ordinary one either. It was robust and tall, and, like its master, it wore heavy armor.
Under the heavy armor, it had no skin, but only scarlet flesh.
Obviously, it was a monster too!
As the heavily armored Earl walked, all the monsters along the way lowered their heads deeply and crawled completely on the ground.
It looked like he had a majestic effect on them!
A moment later, the heavily armored Earl stopped again.
At this moment, he was less than twenty meters away from Natalie.
He stared at Natalie and suddenly spoke in human language.
"Kneel!"
When these two words were uttered, they spread out like a shock wave.
Filip Walker, Denis Read, and others fell to the ground as if struck by lightning.
Natalie's delicate body swayed slightly as well.
But the girl was strong.
Her lips pursed, her pretty face was cold, but she still stood upright.
At this moment, Natalie had already seen Matthew hiding in the crowd.
But she pretended not to see anything and confronted the heavily armored Earl. Her thin but upright body showed her stubbornness.
Now, she didn't want Matthew to expose himself at all.
The monster in front of her was indeed so powerful that it made her despair.
The heavily armored Earl opposite seemed to be enraged when he saw that Natalie did not obey his orders.
He suddenly drew a javelin from his waist and casually swung it at Natalie.
-Whoosh
A sharp sound was heard.
The javelin was like a large-caliber bullet, instantly tore through the air, and came in front of Natalie.
The girl's eyes widened immediately!
It was not until this moment that she realized how big the gap in strength was between herself and this monster.
She couldn't even react to the weapon thrown by the other party, let alone block it.
The crisis of death instantly enveloped Natalie's whole body.
Just when the girl thought she was going to die, something strange happened!
-Whoosh
Another sharp sound was heard.
Natalie only saw a flash before her eyes, and the javelin had already stopped in front of her.
It was less than one meter away from her chest.
The reason the javelin stopped suddenly was that a firm hand intercepted it in time and grabbed it tightly.
Then, she realized the tall figure appeared in front of her.
"Natalie, you've done enough!"
The man smiled at her and said, "This boss monster is quite interesting. You are no match for it, so leave it to me!"
