Chapter 370 Songs That Mesmerize Souls[A/N: Please read the last paragraph of last chapter since it has been edited to match the flow of current chap. (I forgot to edit the draft :#) ]

Everyone was suddenly startled by such a bewitching voice that seemed to send ripples through their souls. The voice was so beautiful it was as if not even the most melodious music could contend with this.

The voice had a certain seductive allure but not to the point it was sexual but gave off a profound and deep feeling, enough to move the hearts of those hearing it including even cold-hearted ones.

The words of the song contained a sense of yearning with a doleful undertone, making even those with icy hearts shed a tear out of sympathy for the one who was singing these words. The words were only a few, but the voice itself seemed to convey more than a story.

However, Viktor remained unaffected since his vampire bloodline was keeping his mind clean and free from getting bewitched, while Seraphina’s natural powers helped her mind and soul remain unaffected though, her eyebrows were pulled together in worry.

Still, he had to admit he had never heard such a melodious voice that can make one desire to listen to it more the longer they hear it.

But when he looked at the other four, he saw that all of their expressions seemed blank, as if they were in a daze and their legs were slowly carrying them in the direction of the voice. It just looked weird and something he had only seen in horror movies.

’Did they get bewitched?’ Viktor couldn’t help but think seeing their weird state and wondered what kind of creature or monster he was up against.

Seraphina was about to say something when Viktor pressed her hand gently, indirectly telling her to pretend as if she got bewitched as well since he knew it was best to catch the other party by surprise, whoever it was.

Seraphina didn’t know if this was a good idea or not, but there was no time to discuss it, and Viktor was already pretending as if he got bewitched and began to walk like a zombie in the direction where the adventurers were going while Seraphina followed suit.

”Hmnn~Hmnnn~ My soul clouded with love~…This path shrouded like your heart~…Your face an angel in disguise~” Another soul-stealing voice hummed yet another verse as their voice echoed in a similar direction, making Viktor realize that there was probably more than one, and based on the direction they were waking in, it was near a large river or to be precise, the Lulling River.

Viktor only learned about the mission today, and thus he didn’t really get the chance to research the Lulling River. But he had heard in passing that the Lulling River was one place no adventurers would ever dare to venture into.

It was located around the other side of the Blackmere Forest that not even any creatures that live on land would dare to go anywhere near the Lulling River.

But based on the information Brono told him today, it seemed that suddenly a bunch of adventurers was venturing towards the Lulling River for some reason, though none of them ever returned.

This made Viktor feel that something here didn’t smell right, though the only thing he could do now got to the bottom of it.

Even if the worst happens, he and Seraphina can at least get out of here alive.

However, the more they walked, the more the air became foggy as the cool mist began to cloud the whole region while the fresh smell of the river was becoming even more apparent.

Viktor’s vision was extraordinary, though right now, he was unable to see through this strange mist and had to use his senses to make sure he didn’t bang his head on a tree or anything.

He looked at the other four to see if they would stumble and fall, but all four of them seemed to walk with perfect sense and direction, making him wonder if these songs had even more control over them than he initially thought.

And even more, voices joined those who were already singing these verses, and their voices combined together were so fatally charming, Viktor truly felt like he wouldn’t mind listening to their singing every second of his life.

But of course, he still maintained a clear head as he faintly saw a vast and dark river that was obscured by the mist as well.

Everything was so silent and unmoving except for these bewitching voices, and they only seemed to get louder and louder the nearer they got to the Lulling River. And the stench of blood only seemed to increase.

*Crunch!*

Upon hearing the sound of something breaking under his feet, leaving a crisp echo, Viktor realized that he had just stepped on bones, and based on the scent of the blood, it ranged from a day to a few days old!

’Who exactly killed these adventurers?’

*Rustle!*

Suddenly, right as they reached just a few meters away from the shore, Viktor heard the bushes just a couple of meters away from him rustle as he heard multiple steps here and there.

”Nmmmm~Nmmm~…Below these depths~…my soul awaits you~…yearning for your heart~…And in you come~…Only for death to trap your soul~…”

Viktor felt it a bit strange when their lovely verse suddenly took a dark turn towards the end, and even their melodious voice suddenly became a bit too ominous.

”Sssss! Die!”

Suddenly, the singing stopped as multiple feminine yet vicious screams echoed in the region as he saw three pale blue-skinned women wearing skimpy clothes jumping toward Brono and his group while baring their sharp fangs and nails.

Their curvaceous figures were quite beguiling, and their facial features were stunning, their eyes carrying an allruing hypnotic charm.

Despite looking so beautiful, their expressions were twisted with ferocity and hostility to the point it would terrify even a warrior.

’Who the hell are these women?’

But what happened next even baffled Viktor as he saw an even more unexpected thing.
