Strangeness In The Hez Forest II

The grey mist has started to appear around as I entered quite deeper into the forbidden zone, the deepest anyone had entered since the strangeness of this Forbidden Zone has begun.

The Cosmic Energy in this part is quite dense, and it covered me fully, trying to drill inside me, but the sealing of my armor is too tight for any energy to seep in.

On the way, I observed how this energy applies to pressure directly dependent on the level, not one's battle power. Ashlyn and Me are at Duke Stage, but we could easily kill above-average Prince Stage powerhouses.

It made me think; there may be a sentient thing involve in whatever is happening, but this sentient thing is not intelligent. Even dumb monsters could identify aura but not the battle power; as I said, to measure battle power, one requite intelligence.
