Compared to his state hundreds of years ago, Austin had changed a lot—he was now more powerful
and insightful than he formerly was.
He kept using his worlds of mind power to attack the strange creatures around him.
In just a single second, Austin had managed to kill them all.
"It looks like we don't have to be so afraid of these strange creatures after all."
Austin smirked.
"Wait—"
The fire source beast took a gander of the surroundings, surprised with what he saw.
"Did you see that? After you destroy their bodies, they seem to condense into pieces of consciousness,
like thoughts, memory, and so on?"
he asked.
"Yes, I see it now!
I was so focused on attacking and killing these guys that I didn't notice this!"
After the fire source beast pointed it out, Austin observed the battlefield carefully. He noticed that
malice, anger, greed, and turbulence filled the atmosphere.
Just like his friend mentioned, as soon as the strange creatures were killed, they would turn into
countless pieces of spiritual sense. These thoughts they left were wicked, depressing, and cruel―all of
the various negative emotions they could possibly muster.
"What's more, the remaining matter of their exploration seemed to come from many different creatures.
It's so strange!"
Austin analyzed.
"It is indeed strange," the fire source beast agreed. "It looks like each of them holds a lot of malevolent
thoughts and memories in their bodies. And from what it seems like, these thoughts belong to many
creatures.
It's possible that they are collecting their victim's negative thoughts to fuel themselves.
Do you think these creatures are not actually living beings? Could it be that they are actually made up
of a large number of evil thoughts?"
he pondered.
"Kind of.
If so, then I've never heard of this race,"
Austin answered, his eyebrows furrowed in confusion.
"No wonder the mind power I used is the nemesis of these creatures. If they are really composed of
evil thoughts, then the mind power has a miraculous effect to deal with them,"
Austin realized.
"This space and time was once inhabited by the ancestors of our fire source beast race. This is our
territory.
So it irks me that such a disgusting race is lurking around here. How did they even come here? They
are defiling the purity of my ancestral land!
If I'm powerful enough, I will drive all of them out of here,"
the fire source beast vowed through gritted teeth.
For him, who had deeply valued his ancestry, this particular time and space was very sacred.
But now, plenty of these strange creatures were freely frolicking around. This caused the fire source
beast to rage.
As they were discussing the nature of these peculiar creatures, the worlds of mind power that Austin
activated had already destroyed all the strange creatures around him—not a single one of them was
left.
It had to be said that the mind power was indeed powerful when dealing with those strange creatures.
Although each of them had a strong fighting ability, once they were faced with Austin's mind power,
they could not resist at all.
However, more and more strange creatures appeared in the distance and rushed towards their
direction.
"More of them are coming! They must have a lair in here somewhere!"
the fire source beast mentioned as he looked at the burgeoning amount of strange creatures arriving.
"Yes, you are right! They must have one around here.
It shouldn't be far from here, or they wouldn't be appearing at this fast rate!"
Austin agreed.
"Come on! Let's go to find their lair!
If we could do it, let's kill all of them,"
Austin proposed after giving it some thought.
He knew that the fire source beast didn't like these strange creatures to stay in his sacred ancestral
land.
Austin could easily kill them in just a single blow. If he were capable of finding their lair and destroying it
for good, that would be ideal.
"These creatures are no longer a threat to us. We can easily kill them without even breaking a sweat.
However, we are not sure if there are more powerful creatures hiding in their lair.
We have to be careful. What if they have a leader? We might not be able to defeat that."
The fire source beast hesitated.
"If this race is really made up of the mental fragments, then the mind power should be enough to topple
them over.
Even if I meet some masters of this race, I should be able to deal with them.
Don't worry! Let's go."
Austin confidently urged his friend.
"You're right; let's go and have a look!"
The fire source beast nodded.
He was not going to let this pass. This peculiar race had taken over their sacred ancestral land. Of
course, he wanted Austin to destroy these creatures.
Therefore, the duo released their spiritual sense to perceive the strange creatures, looking for their
direction.
"Over there! They're coming from that area!"
the fire source beast suddenly exclaimed.
"You're right!
Let's go!"
Austin replied.
As soon as they figured out where to go, Austin and the fire source beast swiftly went into the
suspected lair.
After a while,
numerous strange creatures rushed towards them like surging tidewater.
As a counterattack, Austin activated his world of mind power.
Frightening energy rumbled towards the strange creatures in front of him.
Wherever the power went, the creatures panicked and did their best to escape. They seemed to have a
natural fear of the mind power.
It did not take long before the worlds of mind power enveloped their bodies one by one, making them
eventually explode. Plenty of mind fragments scattered all about.
As before, Austin and the fire source beast could clearly feel that this space was filled with all kinds of
negative emotions.
"The bodies of this race are really made up of many pieces of thought.
They are not flesh and blood at all! Their kind is very strange indeed!"
Austin shook his head.
"I've never heard of them before.
But I suspect that they may have something to do with my race.
They might be the reason why my race declined and even perished in the past!"
the fire source beast assumed.
During their speculations, Austin had finally wiped out most of the creatures coming at them.
Then, the duo continued to walk forward.
Along the way, they met more of these creatures. Austin used his worlds of mind power to easily
destroy all the strange creatures he met.
Soon enough, they came across a huge mountain.
It was shrouded with a cold and gloomy fog, making it difficult to perceive its entirety.
"A very strange law isolates this mountain from being perceived spiritual sense, so it's hard for us to
make sense of it,"
the fire source beast said with a frown, looking at the tall mountain before them.
