After all, they essentially share the same body.

But instead of explaining directly, Victor offered Erica a suggestion:

"You'll know once you go and see for yourself."

Erica nodded.

Since these memories of the underworld region appeared in her mind, she naturally knew the direction to go.

With a slight thought, the scythe on her back opened its eye at the top and released a plume of black smoke.

The next second, the smoke enveloped Erica, and also took Vega from her shoulder.

Before long, the black smoke gradually dissipated, and the surrounding azure flames also went out.

As the smoke swept through layers of hell, traversed the void, and finally settled on a pale, desolate land.

Erica felt her feet touch the hard ground, and she slowly opened her eyes.

Looking at the scenery before her, Erica knew that she had arrived at the bottom of the prison.

She looked around, and all she could see was a bottomless darkness.

Erica shifted her feet slightly in surprise, and a crisp clattering sound came from beneath her feet.

Looking down, he realized he was standing in an arena made of dense white bones.

Before my eyes came a pale skull exuding a strong aura of death.

Before she could even feel the horror, Erica found herself back in her spirit form.

This means that Professor Victor has once again taken control of her body.

As expected, Erica slowly raised her head, a calm and serene look in her eyes.

The surrounding skeletons did not seem to arouse his fear or unease.

He instinctively put his hands in his pockets, looked around, and then slowly began to explain to Erica:

"This place is called the Arena of Bones, and everything you see here is made up of the bones of the dead."

Hearing these words, even Erica, who was not in control of her body, felt goosebumps rise all over her body.

"How...how could this happen?"

A powerful wave of shock washed over her.

Erica suppressed her physical discomfort, frowned, and was filled with deep doubt.

Human bones?

Just now, it felt as if she had traveled through every corner of hell.

Every place I saw was different, but without exception, they were filled with wandering souls.

The bodies of the deceased no longer exist, let alone their bones.

How could the underworld possibly produce so many skeletons...?

"Do you remember Thanatos's mention of 'losers'?"

Upon hearing Viktor's words, Erica immediately realized what he meant.

Her eyes widened, and she answered in a trembling voice:

"These bones...were left behind by those who failed the trials?"

Victor nodded, confirming Erica's statement.

At that moment, Erica felt a sudden buzzing in her mind.

Those humans who fail the trial will be trapped in the depths of this hell forever, body and soul.

Although the soul is immortal, the body will eventually decay.

Eventually, those flesh and blood bodies slowly rotted away under the erosion of time, and their bones were completely exposed.

The souls of those who failed are forever sealed within their bones.

"When the consciousness of these 'losers' has been almost worn away."

As she spoke, Erica slowly began to walk towards the center of the bone arena.

She stepped over the bone steps and finally stood on the towering edge of the arena.

All around was a suffocating silence and darkness, and beneath him was a city wall made of countless skulls.

Erica stared at the broken and scattered bones below, her eyes slightly narrowed.

At this moment, the entire arena seemed to sense the arrival of the intruder, and the huge arena trembled slightly.

The bones rubbed and intertwined, piling up and coalescing to form a chaotic and disorderly mass.

Even Erica, in her soul form, noticed that the bones had transformed into skeleton warriors wielding sharp blades.

A faint, deep blue light emanated from the depths of their eyes as they stiffly raised their heads.

His face was menacing as he stared at Erica, who stood at the edge of the city wall.

Viktor stood quietly to the side, seemingly oblivious to the danger around him, and continued speaking to himself:

"Their minds are now consumed only by the desire to fight."

In fact, this Bone Arena is nothing more than a monster spawner that can endlessly refresh monsters.

Once players step into this arena, the skeleton warriors will continuously reassemble and gather from underground.

They launch relentless attacks and hunts on the players.

Even if you defeat all these skeleton soldiers, it will be of no practical use.

Because they will rise again from the underworld and once again entwine and climb among the bones.

In short, the battle is endless and utterly disgusting.

Even someone as powerful as Victor wouldn't want to come here to level up and grind monsters.

Because if you're not careful, you'll get tightly entangled by those bones and find it hard to get rid of them.

At this moment, Erica gazed at the arena of white bones.

Even though she no longer has control over her body, she feels that her soul is somewhat stiff.

Could it be that Professor Victor will leave her here alone and force her to train on her own?

As Erica watched the skeletons gradually take shape and pick up weapons, she secretly made a plan.

Could she leave behind a complete corpse in this land of death?

But the next moment, she saw her arms slowly stretching forward.

And her arm had transformed into a cold, white bone.

Surrounded by eerie green flames and hazy smoke, it seemed as if surrounded by countless hideous ghosts, making it extremely strange and terrifying.

Erica, however, appeared unusually calm.

He slowly extended his arm, which was made of white bone, and clenched his five fingers slightly.

At this moment, the twisted undead flames burned even more fiercely, as if trying to break free of the restraints on the arms.

Viktor's vision was already filled with a ghostly green light.

His lips moved, and he slowly opened his mouth:

"But now."

"I will make them my subjects."
