Rebirth with a Space to Counterattack and Abuse the Scumbag

I took a deep breath; the air was filled with a damp, musty smell, mixed with a faint odor of decay.

The castle before us soared into the clouds, like a lurking beast, appearing even more sinister under the thick fog.

Its black stone walls seemed to devour light, sending chills down one's spine.

I could hear the whistling of the wind as it passed through the cracks in the castle, like the whispers of ghosts, which involuntarily stirred a sense of unease within me.

Gong Lin and I exchanged a glance and started walking at the same time, in perfect unison.

We had just reached the castle gate when a dark figure suddenly darted out from the bushes beside us.

He was a blue-eyed man with deep-set eyes and a cunning smile on his face.

He was holding a bunch of oddly shaped tools, clearly designed to crack mechanisms.

"Hey, you two, this isn't a place for you." The blue-eyed thief David rubbed his hands together, his blue eyes gleaming with greed. "I found this castle first, so if you know what's good for you, get lost!"

I sneered, unyielding: "This castle isn't in your name. Who says whoever finds it first gets to own it?" I looked around, trying to find a flaw in his words. "Besides, everyone has a chance to find the treasure. Why should we listen to you?"

Gong Lin stood beside me, radiating an oppressive aura. His gaze was as cold as ice, piercing straight at David.

David seemed to sense the murderous aura emanating from Gong Lin, and the smile on his face froze for a moment.

"Hmph, don't think I'm scared just because there are more of us." David forced a show of force. "Today, I'm going to get into this castle!" After saying that, he ignored us and quickly walked to the castle gate, where he began to fiddle with the complicated mechanisms.

His movements were incredibly fast; his fingers danced nimbly across the gears and latches, as if playing a silent melody.

I carefully observed his every move, trying to find patterns and flaws that might help us with our next move.

Gong Lin tilted his head slightly and said in a low voice, "Be careful, he should be an expert."

"Hmm." I nodded, clenched my fist, and my heart pounded faster with David's movements.

Suddenly, David's hand paused abruptly, as if he had found the key.

Just when I thought he was about to open the door, a strange smile appeared on his lips, and he whispered, "Too easy..."

With a loud "bang!", a huge gear on the castle gate suddenly sprang open, causing the ground to tremble slightly.

I saw David's face turn deathly pale instantly. His eyes widened in terror, and before he could react, a sharp arrow whistled through the air and shot straight toward his face.

David let out a strange cry and scrambled to the side in a flustered manner, his movements so swift that they hardly resembled those of a thief skilled in deciphering mechanisms.

The arrow grazed his cheek, leaving a bloody gash on his face. Blood seeped out instantly, making him look even more disheveled.

I couldn't help but laugh. This guy was so arrogant just now, but now he's all humiliated. He deserves it!

While he was still in shock, I quickly activated my spatial abilities.

Wisps of energy overflowed from my fingertips and seeped into the castle gate. I could almost "see" the complex structure inside the gate: intricate gears meshing together, and a maze of wires connecting various mechanisms.

Soon, I found the key to the solution—a latch hidden behind the gear.

"Gong Lin, over here." I whispered, quickly walking to the mechanism and deftly plucking the gears with my fingers, as if I were strumming piano strings.

The gears clicked crisply at my fingertips, like melodious musical notes, each movement precise and accurate.

Gong Lin stood firmly behind me, like a solid shield. His sharp eyes were fixed on everything around him, and no movement could escape his notice.

The powerful aura he exuded made me feel incredibly safe.

"You actually cracked my mechanism?" A chilling voice suddenly rang out, as if it came from the depths of hell, carrying a terrifying pressure.

I looked up abruptly and saw a man in a red robe appear before us. His face was hidden in the shadow of his hood, and all I could see was a staff in his hand, which was carved with intricate patterns.

The moment he appeared, the surrounding temperature suddenly rose, as if the air itself was on fire.

The red-robed mage Jerry slowly raised his staff, and a blazing flame instantly ignited at the tip of the staff. The red light reflected on his face, making him appear even more eerie and unpredictable.

"Stop struggling, this is your graveyard!" He sneered, waving his staff, and a huge fireball with the force of destruction flew towards us.

Gong Lin reacted extremely quickly; he picked me up and nimbly leaped to the side.

The fireball struck a boulder behind us with a loud "boom," instantly melting it into a pool of lava.

The air was filled with a pungent smell of sulfur, making it difficult for me to breathe.

The red-robed mage Jerry did not stop attacking. He chanted incantations, uttering unintelligible spells. The surrounding temperature rose higher and higher, with waves of heat hitting him one after another, and the oppressive feeling grew stronger and stronger.

I felt as if something was pressing down on my chest, making it difficult to breathe, and Gong Lin's expression grew increasingly serious.

Gong Lin held me tightly and whispered in my ear not to be afraid. His voice was steady and powerful.

I looked up at him, and my heart was instantly filled with trust and reliance.

Despite the perilous situation, I felt an indescribable sense of security from Gong Lin.

I nodded and replied firmly, "With you here, I'm not afraid."

David, the blue-eyed thief, watched us from the side, his face still bearing that cunning expression, but I could sense the jealousy in his heart.

He gritted his teeth slightly, seemingly talking to himself: "If only I could have a partner like that..."

I took out a special plant from my space. The leaves of this plant were a light green color and covered with fine veins.

This plant can absorb magical energy, and I already have a plan in mind.

I tossed the plant gently, and it traced a graceful arc through the air, heading straight for the red-robed wizard Jerry.

The red-robed mage Jerry seemed to have been caught off guard by this move. His flames were instantly absorbed by the plants, the light of the flames began to weaken, and the high temperature in the air gradually dissipated.

A flicker of surprise and anger crossed his face. Then, he looked up and glared at me and Gong Lin, his eyes burning with the flames of revenge.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Gong Lin and I rushed towards him.

Gong Lin moved like a cheetah, delivering a heavy punch to the chest of the red-robed mage Jerry.

The red-robed sorcerer Jerry staggered from the punch, falling backward and interrupting his incantation.

He fell heavily to the ground with a thud, and those around him involuntarily gasped.

"Hmph, they really don't know what's good for them!" Gong Lin said coldly.

Seeing this, the blue-eyed thief David had an idea and tried to take the opportunity to rush towards the castle gate.

However, my spatial powers activated instantly, and an invisible force held him firmly in place.

His eyes widened in horror, and the smile on his face instantly froze.

"Want to get in? Not so easy!" I said coldly, the spatial power in my hands like an invisible iron hand, firmly controlling David.

The red-robed mage Jerry was enraged. He slowly stood up from the ground, his eyes flashing with an even more ferocious light.

He gripped his staff tightly and chanted even more profound incantations, as if he were about to unleash an even more powerful spell.

"Do you really think you can defeat me like this?" The red-robed mage Jerry's voice was cold and deep, as if it came from the deepest hell.

A blazing flame reignited at the tip of his staff, this time even more intense, its red light making him appear like a demon.

I could feel the magical energy emanating from the red-robed mage Jerry growing stronger, and the staff in his hand was like a burning sun, radiating suffocating heat.

As he incantated faster, the air began to distort, and from the surrounding shadows, one after another, terrifying creatures began to emerge.

They come in all shapes and sizes; some resemble skeletons with bat wings, others resemble giant spiders covered in spikes, and still others resemble ghosts floating in the air, emitting chilling shrieks.

These magical creatures let out piercing roars and pounced on me and Gong Lin. They were incredibly fast, arriving in the blink of an eye.

I felt a stench hit me, a mixture of rotting flesh and sulfur that made me nauseous.

Gong Lin shielded me behind him, swinging his fists with the force of wind and thunder. The magical creatures were like paper under his fists, shattering into wisps of black mist.

"Watch out!" Gong Lin warned in a deep voice. He kicked away a skeleton that pounced on me and turned around to block the venom sprayed by a giant spider.

The venom sizzled as it hit the ground, instantly corroding the surface and creating numerous pits, a sight that sent chills down my spine.

I quickly took a few steps back and took out some special plants from my spatial storage. These plants emitted a faint glow and could cause some damage to magical creatures.

I threw the plant at the magical creatures. The moment the plant touched them, it made a hissing sound. The magical creatures screamed in pain as if they were being burned, and their bodies became weak.

With the help of Miya Rin's attacks, we gradually found a way to deal with them.

I manipulated the power of space to bind the magical creatures that tried to attack from behind, and then Miya Rin delivered the fatal blow.

We fought these magical creatures for a long time, and every second felt like an eternity.

My breathing became more and more rapid, and my arms began to ache, but my gaze grew increasingly resolute.

I could feel the fighting spirit emanating from Gong Lin. Each of his attacks was more precise and powerful, and the magical creatures turned into nothingness under his iron fists.

Finally, through our combined efforts, the last magical creature turned into a wisp of black smoke and disappeared into the air.

Seeing this, the red-robed mage Jerry's expression grew even more sinister. He suddenly swung his staff, a flash of red light, and his figure vanished from the spot, leaving only a chilling whisper: "I will return..."

Ignoring my breath, I grabbed Gong Lin and said, "Let's go!" I used my spatial powers to probe the mechanisms inside the gate, carefully working to decipher them.

Finally, with a muffled sound, the castle gates slowly opened, revealing a deep darkness inside, like a bottomless black hole that swallowed all light.

Just as Gong Lin and I stepped through the gate, a dark figure followed us closely, and I could even smell that familiar cunning aura emanating from him.

David, the blue-eyed thief, also sneaked in!

As soon as we entered the castle, the gate behind us slowly closed, making a teeth-grinding scraping sound.

I felt as if the air around me had solidified, and an unsettling atmosphere spread through the darkness, as if something was watching us from the shadows.

Just as I was about to speak, Gong Lin suddenly raised his hand, signaling me to be quiet.

"Shh..."
