The giant who was biting people's legs and had bloodshot eyes did not actually exist. He was essentially the strong emotions generated by a certain creature or creatures.

This is because the extremely deep emotion entered the subconscious mind, spread from the island of the mind itself to the surrounding illusory "ocean", gradually settled down, and turned into a brand - not all emotions and consciousness can eventually settle down, most of them will be erased by time and washed away by the "sea water", only those that are extremely strong or appear repeatedly can remain.

Once it becomes a brand, that is, a drop of water in the ocean of collective subconsciousness, it can reversely influence the same creatures around it and become their common ancient "memory" engraved in their blood.

Therefore, the mythical creature form displayed by this illusory giant figure is not only not clear enough, but also has many erroneous parts completed by subjective consciousness. Normally, it would not make Leonard and Audrey unable to look directly at it, causing spiritual confusion and mental breakdown. However, the sense of madness that comes with it and the extreme fear that comes from an unknown source are like substances that can infect the mind, astral body, and even the spiritual body of every living being!

This is the essence of the dangers in the ocean of collective subconsciousness. It does not come from the power, level, or personality itself, but from the emotions and feelings that are generated and imprinted thereby.

Of course, if you encounter a higher-level creature or a "brand" left by a god, you can actually see one or more mythical creatures, but the result will definitely not be very good. You will either have a mental breakdown and go crazy, or be completely contaminated by the emotions and feelings of the gods or higher-level creatures. No one can guess what you will become in advance.

In short, here, in this sea of ​​collective subconsciousness, the way of fighting is different from the outside world. Sometimes, the more anxious you are to destroy the phantom, the more likely you are to be infected by your emotions.

Because of this, when Klein saw the seven or eight meter tall gray-blue giant rushing towards him, he immediately took control of his emotions.

Then, he used an "illusion".

The objects of this "illusion" are Leonard and Audrey.

In the eyes of these two Sequence 5 Beyonders, the giant that was two or three stories tall no longer had that crazy, tyrannical, and heart-shaking feeling. Instead, it seemed normal and ordinary.

Therefore, before the real extreme feelings of contamination came, Leonard and Audrey were very calm and did not show any emotional fluctuations.

Then, Leonard put one hand in his pocket, stretched out his right hand and opened his mouth slightly.

He originally wanted to use the help of the archbishop to seal the first spirit on the tooth after becoming a "spiritual wizard", the Banshee (a powerful spiritual creature with a beautiful face and a rotten body, a pair of huge eagle wings, good at sucking other people's consciousness and instilling fear), but he soon remembered that he was not only a star spirit body, but also experienced the baptism of gray fog. How could there be other spirits in his "body".

As a last resort, he used the ability of "Requiem Master", and his green eyes became deep and gloomy.

The giant shadow suddenly slowed down, and his emotions seemed to be relieved to a certain extent.

At this time, Audrey also calmly and peacefully opened her arms and used "comfort".

An invisible wind blew by, and the giant's shadow stopped, and the infection to the surrounding area was instantly weakened a lot.

During this process, Klein took out the copper-green cross with many spikes, opened the bottle of his own blood, poured a few drops into it, and said solemnly:

"Light!"

A brilliant, pure, and flawless light burst out, and as Klein's black windbreaker swayed slightly, it drowned out the giant's phantom.

With almost no resistance, the gray-blue giant quickly melted away.

One of the main abilities of "No Dark Cross" is to clear or purify the remaining mental imprints!

This is why Klein brought this seal with him.

When using this cross from the ancient sun god, Klein lifted the illusion, allowing "Star" Leonard and "Justice" Audrey to intuitively "see" the true appearance of the giant's phantom, in order to enhance their experience and improve their experience in this area.

Although it took less than a second for the giant's shadow to be submerged in endless light, Audrey and Leonard still felt dizzy. Uncontrollable fear surged from the bottom of their hearts, and their spirits almost collapsed.

This didn't last long. Audrey instinctively used "Calm" on herself to calm down, and then she began to treat the psychological problems of Mr. "Star" and Mr. "World" one by one.

"How terrifying... Is this a demigod-level giant?" After the light faded, "Justice" Audrey looked around and sighed sincerely.

At this moment, she understood a sentence more deeply:

“Don’t look directly at God!”

Even at the saint level, demigods whose images only remain in the memories of others cannot directly feel but "see", let alone real gods?

Leonard is also experienced, and said with a self-deprecating smile:

"Sequence 4 is indeed a level of qualitative change in life. However, the fear I felt just now was just that, not as strong as the emotion I felt when I faced a pregnant woman."

Is the essence of poets all bragging? You were still able to control yourself at that time, but you were close to collapse just now... However, if Megose successfully gave birth to that child, we would probably collapse and lose control and become monsters just by looking at it... Klein criticized Leonard in his heart, and sighed as the memories were brought back.

"Is that a pregnant demigod?" Audrey asked curiously.

"No." Leonard shook his head, "But she is pregnant with the evil god's offspring."

I see... Audrey didn't ask any more questions, because she knew clearly that the adventure and exploration were not over yet, and wasting time was not an acceptable behavior.

She then looked at Gehrman Sparrow, who was wearing a black windbreaker and holding a copper-green cross and a metal vial, and smiled slightly.

“Thank you for the impact you just had on our senses.

"Well, where should we go next?"

As an experienced "audience", it was not difficult for her to conclude that she had just received help from Mr. "World" by comparing the before and after events.

Klein suppressed his subconscious frown and looked around.

"Doesn't this collective subconscious ocean have a core area?"

"No." Audrey shook her head seriously. "As long as there are living beings, there is a collective subconscious ocean. There is no such thing as who is nobler than who. This illusory ocean will not really surge. The situation in different areas mainly depends on the surrounding environment. We call it the 'sedimentation effect'. In simple terms, the collective subconscious ocean in Loen will be quite different from that in Intis, because it mainly precipitates the strong emotions and feelings of generations of Loen people. In turn, this also affects the people of the two countries, making them have different temperaments or personalities to some extent..."

After a brief explanation, Audrey "Justice" gave the conclusion:

"If that's the case, how is it possible that there is a recognized core area of ​​the collective subconscious ocean?"

Klein nodded and asked thoughtfully:

"So you can't give me any effective advice on where to go?"

Mr. World was so direct... If it was a lady or gentleman with a more fragile heart, they would definitely feel embarrassed and hurt... Audrey's thoughts turned and she saw the dark brown, almost black eyes of "World" Gehrman Sparrow. They were not crazy at all, nor were they cold. They were calm and deep.

This... Audrey suddenly understood and knew that Mr. "World" was deliberately doing similar things so that she could understand the various details that exist in a joint action and accumulate more experience.

"Yes." She nodded frankly, without any embarrassment.

Klein nodded secretly and looked at Leonard the Star.

"Don't look at me. My domain is in dreams, not in this strange sea of ​​collective subconsciousness." Leonard immediately waved his hands.

Compared to Miss Justice, he has participated in countless joint actions and knows that he should never act tough when he shouldn't.

“Then follow me.” Klein retracted his gaze, handed the “Darkless Cross” that had been dyed with copper green again to the hand holding the metal bottle, and took out a gold coin.

clang!

He grabbed the gold coins as they rolled, then without looking at the result, he identified the direction and started walking.

This is a method of divination... Audrey suddenly understood.

She looked at the serious and calm profile of the “World” Gehrman Sparrow, and his figure wearing a black windbreaker, a silk hat, and holding a copper-green cross. She inexplicably felt that he looked like a missionary.

Leonard suddenly recalled an incident from the past.

That was the first case he and Klein worked on together - searching for a kidnapped child. At that time, Klein used the method of "divination" to lead the way, and he followed beside him.

Compared to his initial awkwardness, he is now as proficient as if he has been in this mysterious world for more than ten years... Well, in fact, only a little over a year has passed... Leonard put his hands in his pockets and followed closely behind Klein with a little emotion.

Audrey glanced at him and noticed the change in his mood.

Mr. Star and Mr. World are not just acquaintances in real life. They are probably very good friends, the kind that have rarely seen each other in the past one or two years... Audrey made her judgment without slowing down. She combined the knowledge she had learned to observe the details around her and determine where there might be lurking "whirlpools" and "dangerous creatures".

With her assistance, Klein led the way smoothly and did not encounter the mark of "Giant Shadow" directly like he did just now.

Sometimes they walked straight, sometimes they turned. After an unknown amount of time, the view in front of the three of them suddenly became clear.

What appeared before them was a "deep-sea pit" with a city the size of an island in the center.

The foundation of this city is greyish white, with majestic stone pillars tens or hundreds of meters high standing on it. Some of them stand alone, while others jointly support towering and ancient palaces. The whole is both strange and magnificent, and it does not seem like something that can be built by ordinary creatures.

Although Audrey didn't know this city, an idea suddenly popped up in her mind:

"The City of Miracles, Levished..."
