One-Eyed Monster Chapter 222 - 218: It Seems I Have Been Here Before

At the mont the Stone Monster fell, Kadi's admiration for Igor increased even more.

No, it had actually increased so significantly that he almost prostrated himself on the ground in admiration for Igor.

They had overco another obstacle. This journey had indeed been fraught with challenges.

Igor shook his head. Dust from the Stone Monster's collapse seed to have settled in his hair and ears, forcing him to shake it out.

Kadi's emotions had not yet settled, his mind filled with many thoughts. Beyond his deep admiration for Igor, many of his own past experiences also ca to mind. Back on Guru Mountain, he had never encountered so many strange events. He couldn't understand why the places he had lived were slowly becoming unfamiliar...

Why had familiar places beco strange? Kadi racked his brains but couldn't figure it out.

He glanced at Igor. His expression was relaxed; whether a place was familiar or strange made no difference to him.

"This Stone Monster was quite difficult to deal with. I don't know why it decided to disguise itself as a house and squat over there," Igor said, dusting himself off after shaking the particles from his hair.

"Perhaps it morphed into a house to attract fools like ," Kadi sighed. He realized he was sotis too impulsive and lacked comprehensive thinking.

But he couldn't be blad; using his brain had always been a weak point for him.

Thankfully, he had Igor by his side; otherwise, the Stone Monster would have crushed him into a pulp long ago.

After the Stone Monster smashed itself to pieces, stones scattered everywhere. At first, they rolled about ceaselessly on the ground, but now they had co to a standstill, indistinguishable from Dead Objects.

After dusting himself off, Igor bent down to examine the fallen stone fragnts.

These fragnts looked quite ordinary, their color no different from regular stones. Igor picked up a piece and weighed it, finding no difference in its weight either. So, he unleashed his Spirit Power to sense if there were any remnants of Spirit Power in the stone.

Spirit Sensing was a ticulous task that could take a long ti. Igor wasn't in a hurry. He had experienced this process before when making Rain Crystal Stones with Hustace at the Yonder Travel Academy. The process was akin to swimming, where one could feel the water pressure enveloping the whole body—a full and profound sensation.

Kadi quietly watched Igor perform Spirit Sensing, not uttering a word. There's so much I need to learn from Igor, he thought, and I can't rush it. For now, I just need to wait here quietly. After all, interrupting soone, especially Igor when he's concentrating, would really spoil things. I'm not that reckless; I wouldn't do sothing so foolish.

Night gradually fell, yet Igor remained motionless at the edge of the swamp, letting the evening breeze caress his face.

Soon, the moon had climbed halfway up the mountainside. However, daylight lingered, reluctant to fully depart from the earth. Thus, the selfless, silvery moonlight was not yet visible; only a white, incomplete sphere could be seen hanging in the sky.

Igor felt warmth spread throughout his body, like sipping a hot drink on a winter day. This warmth also swept away the hunger in his stomach. His entire body felt invigorated, brimming with power.

This sensation was quite familiar.

Igor had experienced it before. When he made Rain Crystal Stones and when he had co into contact with Lightning, he had felt the sa.

This sensation was Spirit Power Feedback, which indicated that these stones contained Spirit Power.

Items containing Spirit Power are generally considered Living Entities. People on the Yowein Continent were accustod to calling them Living Beings. However, the Spirit Power in ordinary stones is pitifully small compared to that in animals or trees. But the Spirit Power Igor sensed at this mont was not much less than that of an ordinary person.

Either these stones had been infused with Spirit Power, or soone controlled them with a special technique. Otherwise, they couldn't possibly give this kind of feedback, Igor thought.

Igor didn't believe tales of stones gaining sentience and becoming spirits. Stones are just stones, he mused. At most, so might be special. People might discover so internal principle within them, infuse them with Spirit Power, and turn them into Puppets. There's no other possibility.

However, this was not what astonished Igor. What shocked him was sothing else.

Igor had felt this kind of Spirit Power Feedback before, and more than once. The first ti he felt this sensation was when he made the Rain Crystal Stones. But the second ti—the last ti he had this sensation—was actually two days ago!

Yes, two days ago!

Yet, Igor distinctly rembered that his mory of two days ago was a blank. That two-day period had slipped away from him, and he still had no idea what had happened.

"I think I have been here before!" Igor looked up and said to the puzzled Kadi.

"What!" Kadi exclaid, slightly taken aback. I thought Igor wasn't really concerned about whether a place was familiar or strange, he mused.

Igor wasn't one to feel out of place in unfamiliar surroundings; he aspired to be an Adventurer, and Adventurers yearned for unfamiliar environnts. The stranger it was, the more excited they beca.

In contrast, Igor was sowhat at a loss when faced with a relatively familiar environnt.

To be precise, he wasn't at a loss, but rather unsure how to face it. If he had been to a place before, he should be familiar with it and able to handle unexpected events more easily than he had just now.

This ant that for Igor, losing mories of a familiar place was a terrifying prospect.

"But I can't recall anything specific, yet I feel like I've been here before," Igor said, a little confused. He felt certain he had been here, but his mind drew a blank on the actual mories.

"How could you possibly have been here before!" Kadi exclaid, naturally disbelieving. How is that possible? Back on Guru Mountain, I never heard of anyone who could cross the Moonflow Stream, let alone reach the White Swamp beyond it.

At this thought, Kadi felt a surge of pride. If I tell Kevin about this later, he'll definitely be green with envy...

"I'm not sure, but I do have this feeling. And it ca to two days ago, during the two days we lost," Igor clarified.

The more Kadi heard, the more confused he beca. He simply couldn't understand what was happening. Igor was bringing up that lost ti again, which only made Kadi's head spin more.

How did that lost ti co up again? What a ss! Just when I was starting to forget that complicated business, he brings it up again. This won't let have any peace!

Besides, what does that have to do with our current situation anyway?

Kadi was utterly discombobulated. He hated using his brain, but Igor always unintentionally made him rack it. If he didn't try to think, he couldn't keep up with Igor's pace or understand his words, leaving him to just gape at Igor—which was what Kadi did most of the ti anyway. The sa thing was happening now.

The moonlight stealthily erged, and familiar songs echoed from the other side of the White Swamp...
