Chapter 185

This went on until eventually, the red energy had completely dissipated while leaving a strange feeling of emptiness around it.

I slowly opened my eyes to see nothing but darkness in front of me. Dark crimson darkness seemed to swallow my being whole, leaving me defenseless and suspended in an area I could not even comprehend or understand.
Everything before me felt empty while I myself felt exposed.
'To think I'd still feel so vulnerable after such a long time... I guess it's a feeling you can never get used to.' I tried to smile but was immediately taken out of my trance and thrown into another world. A world of brightness? A world of sunlight?
According to my vision, everything I just said was completely wrong. In fact, the place I had been thrown to was the complete opposite. It was pretty much pitch black due to the thick clouds, the only source of light being the occasional lightning strike.
'I guess my Blood Eyes ability just ended...' I concluded and looked forward.
Simultaneously, a lightning bolt lit up the area, allowing me to see what was in front of me for a millisecond.
My eyes widened in shock when I saw red energy leave my spear and turn into dust. At the same time, the thing that caught my eyes the most was the corpse of the T-Rex that I was fighting, laying in front of me dead with everything from the waste up seemingly incinerated out of existence.
[You have killed a Prime Tyrannosaurus Ancestor]
[You have gained +3000 EXP]
'What's going on!' I tried to step back, but it was only then that I felt my body get a little lighter.
The bone armor that I had worked for weeks to craft and obtain turned into ashes before my very eyes. While yes, the chest piece and vambraces had shattered after having taken a hit, I still had the headgear and everything below, yet now it just turned into ashes without me even knowing why.
Suddenly, an intense feeling of dread overcame me and forced me to look to my right.
