It was as if they were in a different time and space from himself, and the part that was displayed was just a fragment of that world.

"What exactly are they...? Are they also creatures from the other side of the 'Abyss'?"

The Son of God made thorny sounds in Muramasa's mind, but even she could only associate them with the abyss.

"No,"

Moreover, although they seemed to be coordinating with the hounds, Muramasa could sense the essential difference:

"They are essentially two different creatures. I'm afraid the hounds are merely artificial 'imitations' created to imitate these unholy creatures."

They are so real and imaginary that we might as well just call them "imaginary dogs".

This group of creatures, which Muramasa named Hollow Dogs in his mind, did not retreat because of the disappearance of the hounds. Instead, they spewed out more white mist.

Immediately afterwards, the virtual dog that had just succeeded in the sneak attack made another move.

It did not pounce on us like a wild beast, but melted on the spot, seeping into the ground and disappearing.

Muramasa didn't even have time to lower his head before a sense of crisis erupted from the ground where he stood!

Without a second thought, he tapped the ground with his toes and launched himself into the air like a cannonball. The moment his feet left the ground, his razor-sharp claws shot out from the ground, sending the opponent flying.

The hollow dog shook itself as it emerged, turned its head toward Muramasa, and then resumed its pursuit with its claws.

There's no point in just hiding—

Muramasa gritted his teeth and did not try to dodge. Instead, he extended his non-dominant hand, which had just been repaired, while aiming the knife at its body with the other hand and stabbing it.

As expected, the blade missed, but he did not stop and let the opponent's attack continue.

At the moment when the sharp claws tore through the flesh and cut into the bones, the pain came:

"Give it to me, explode!"

The Swordsmith of Another World: Chapter 113: The Emergence of Spatial Power

With a roar, the magic power infused into the blade was instantly detonated!

An invisible impact composed purely of energy suddenly spread outward from the blade in his hand! The air whimpered under this force, completely engulfing the Hollow Dog before him.

However, Muramasa's expression did not relax at all. Instead, he retreated on the shock wave he created.

It hit, but...

The shock wave hit the target accurately, but it seemed to rush into the air, and most of the force disappeared into the air through the empty body.

The Aetherial Dog, aside from a few flickers, appeared unharmed. It shook its head and let out a low, menacing growl from its throat.

At the same time, a sharp pain came from the left arm.

"This guy……"

Muramasa looked at his torn arm:

"I can't attack it, but it can inflict wounds on me..."

"Trouble is this... This thing is practically invincible." Shen Zi's solemn voice echoed in his mind. "Physical and elemental attacks are ineffective, but it can harm you unilaterally."

As the Son of God finished speaking, the strange figure in the other three swirling "smoke screens" also completely solidified.

Several Hollow Dogs gathered silently like pus seeping out from a wound in space, trapping Muramasa in the center.

Four pairs of eyes flashing with inhuman coldness locked onto the only prey from four directions.

Four strange evil spirits surrounded him from four directions. Their bodies, which appeared and disappeared from time to time, turned to him at the same time, and an invisible light seemed to light up in their empty eye sockets.

Muramasa felt the chilling feeling of being locked in from all directions.

No roars, no battle cries.

The four virtual dogs launched an attack the moment they appeared!

They didn't even lunge forward. The Hollow dog closest to Muramasa simply stretched out its claws—however, those pale claws ignored the distance and appeared out of thin air in front of Muramasa, going straight for his throat!

At the same time, the air on his left seemed to be dug out of thin air, and the claw attack of another virtual dog was coming!

Muramasa's pupils suddenly shrank, and his fighting instinct replaced his thinking, guiding him to lean back suddenly.

Swish!Swish!

The two claw strikes came with a dull sound of tearing space, almost passing by his nose and waist, leaving two arcs of light that lingered for a long time where he had originally stood.

The moment he leaned back to dodge, the two virtual dogs behind him and on his right also moved at the same time.

The body of one of them melted on the spot and disappeared in the rolling mist, while the other one raised its forelimbs and stomped heavily on the ground!

"Well!"

Muramasa felt nothing under his feet, and the ground he was standing on seemed to have turned into a phantom of nothingness, and a huge pulling force came from below.

This was not the elemental power used by the locals, but more similar to the magic he knew, but also different.

The sharp claws of the disappeared hollow dog had quietly emerged in the space behind his heart and stabbed towards Muramasa silently.

"What a joke!"

Muramasa roared angrily, and at the moment when his body was about to lose balance and fall, he twisted his waist and abdomen forcefully and slammed his torn left arm to the ground.

Using the remaining bones and flesh as a fulcrum, he bounced himself to the side just before the ground was completely hollowed out, and at the same time, several daggers condensed out of thin air and shot at the attacking claws.

The result was without a doubt that those knives were cut off instantly.

Pfft——!

Even though he reacted quickly, he still felt a sharp pain in the back of his heart as if something was being gouged out.

A large piece of flesh and blood, along with his clothes, was torn off by the sharp claws that appeared out of nowhere. The wound was as smooth as a mirror, and half of his body had turned crimson.

"cough……"

Muramasa tumbled and landed several meters away, panting heavily. Cold sweat trickled down his forehead, mixing with the blood from his wounds.

He looked up and saw that the four virtual dogs had readjusted their positions and formed an encirclement again, as if the previous round of mercury-like attack was just a warm-up for them.

"I'm already treating you. This is all I can do for you..." Shen Zi's voice was filled with unprecedented anxiety. She had no other choice but to do what she could.

Of course I know... But even if I become like this? No other guys appear, it seems that these few are all.

There was no other magical aura around, and the Eye of Karma did not capture any connection between this dog and other existences.

Adding to this the ability of its "fake" beast hound, the only possibility is that its attack does not act directly on itself, but on space itself.

Therefore, all combat skills, strength and speed seem so pale and powerless in front of such an enemy.

but……

Muramasa's mind flashed with Asmodai's smiling face and the tremendous power she injected into his body before she disappeared.

The "world" she had forcibly fixed, no longer needing to be expanded, could exist independently.

With this in mind, the only thing I need to worry about is whether there is a "mastermind" behind them.

But now it seems that I was too suspicious.

Looking at the four Hollow Dogs approaching again, their figures looming in the mist, Muramasa slowly stood up straight, and the deliberate distortion on his face disappeared at this moment.

"Now it's confirmed. There's no one else around. It's just you guys messing around with 'space'."

"In that case, let me... get involved too!"

As his resolute words fell, Muramasa no longer suppressed the power in his body that was anchored by Asmodai himself.

The magical energy that instantly spread out caused the vulnerable creatures to pause. For the first time in their wanderings here, they felt the meaning of "touch."

Muramasa didn't chant, didn't sing, didn't even strike any poses. The world within him instantly expanded, the ground beneath his feet was dyed with flames, and the surrounding scenery suddenly dimmed.

Unlike the previous deployment of the inherent barrier, it was so smooth that it seemed as if the inside and outside were the same space.

With Muramasa at its center, a crimson, scorching expanse of earth rapidly spread outward, burning its mark across the land of Tsurukan Island. The thick fog that had previously shrouded the surroundings, the moment it touched this flaming earth, hissed like frost in the blazing sun, and was dispersed by the scorching air.

The four virtual dogs that had just held an absolute advantage showed a reaction similar to "astonishment" for the first time.

The space around them, which was as soft as water, now became hard and hot, forcibly "squeezing" their illusory bodies out of another plane.

One of the virtual dogs was the first to react. It had no intention of fighting and twisted its body, trying to tear open space and escape like before.

However, the spatial power that was once as easy to use as one's own arm now seemed to have hit a high wall.

There were no ripples or fluctuations, the power disappeared, and what emerged spontaneously was the creature's instinct of fear.

"When that guy wakes up, I have to thank her."

Muramasa murmured, looking back at the arrogant creature in front of him, and said loudly:

"Don't think about running—"

The next moment, just like what the other party had done before, Muramasa's figure suddenly disappeared into thin air.

The Swordsmith from Another World: Chapter 114: Stupid and Wasting Things

Muramasa's figure appeared without warning behind the Hollow dog that was trying to escape, just as they had appeared just now.

He didn't even change his stance, he just waved his hand casually.

The blade tore through the air, and the figure passed by the pale blue monster that had lost its power.

The head of the virtual dog flew high into the air, its cross-section as smooth as a mirror, and quickly evaporated in the scorching air.

The headless body froze in place, then silently turned to ashes.

The three remaining Aetherial dogs realized that their retreat was blocked. They no longer tried to escape, but instead let out silent roars, with the brilliance of hunting burning in their empty eye sockets.

The two evil figures on both sides suddenly lowered their bodies. They could no longer stay in the air as before, and pounced on Muramasa from both directions like arrows, their sharp claws flashing with twisted luster going straight for his heart and head.

At the same time, the hollow dog in the center opened its jaws, and a highly concentrated, constantly collapsing black energy ball instantly formed in its mouth and shot towards Muramasa's face.

Facing the attack from three sides, he simply sheathed the sword in his hand and casually smashed the sheath onto the flaming ground beneath his feet.

Keng——!

A rain of swords rained down from the sky, and a wall of blades and knives was erected from thin air, precisely blocking the path of the dark energy ball. The energy ball collided with the sword wall, stirring up a circle of silent ripples, and then disappeared into thin air.

The two hollow dogs that rushed close to him crashed into Muramasa's body, as if they passed through his body directly.

“It’s really convenient.”

Muramasa felt the sensation of moving in space. Although the consumption was not small, it was still within an acceptable range.

Then, his eyes locked onto the three evil spirits that were completely exposed in front of him because their attacks failed.

He stepped on the ground with his left foot, and the flame-colored ground under the feet of the three virtual dogs was covered with a deep haze without any warning. Swords, spears, swords, halberds and other weapons tilted from top to bottom, forming a grave for the three creatures in an instant.

The dull sound of the sharp blade entering the flesh continued to ring out.

The three originally powerful virtual dogs were pierced with several large holes from head to body and were nailed to the ground.

Their illusory limbs twitched weakly until they turned to ashes after a few breaths.

The surroundings returned to dead silence again. Muramasa raised his hand and looked at the hideous wound on his arm.

The bleeding has stopped, and under the construction of the Son of God and magic, the body has basically recovered.

As Muramasa's mind moved again, the crimson world began to slowly fade, the scorching air gradually cooled, and the surrounding scenery became clear again.

The cold and damp land of Heguan Island reappeared, and only a large circle of foggy restricted area under Muramasa's feet explained what had happened here.

"Hey... this is the first time I've seen you deploy this barrier."

The Son of God couldn't help but sigh, but she still couldn't help pinching her eyebrows.

It was not for any other reason, but because the other party had just jumped worlds twice, causing the scenes in front of her eyes to flicker, and her visual system felt like it was about to burn out.

"After all, it's a trump card, so I have to confirm the situation before using it."

And this time it can be considered a blessing in disguise, unlocking another use for this world.

Now that the "inherent barrier" has been initially unfolded, he himself does not need to enter that world, but allows the two worlds to be superimposed invisibly.

Then, just follow your thoughts and shuttle back and forth between the two worlds.

After unfolding, the "orientation" of the two spaces remains fixed, and Muramasa simply changes the layer of action.

Of course there are still many problems, but you don’t have to worry about them for now.
