In almost an instant, Rod determined that this was the Horror Castle.
There was no other possibility.
This must be the True King's legacy.
That terrifying aura gave Rod a particular sense of familiarity—he had felt it within the Saint Rel Kingdom, at the very moment the God of Contaminated Blood descended.
Bella, Qingyu, and Horus felt the same.
"It's here!"
Bella said definitively.
"This is the Horror Castle."
Horus suddenly realized, "I finally understand why we haven't encountered any Abyss Monsters along the way."
The aura of the True King lingers here; no monster would dare approach.
Monsters below King Level had long fled far away, driven by an instinctual fear within their souls, while King Level Monsters, by their nature, were unwilling to conflict with such a powerful presence and thus avoided it.
Monsters are far more sensitive to darkness than humans. In this vast area centered around the Horror Castle, there wouldn't be a single monster.
