Chapter 347: Advance

"They will not participate in this war," Azik Eggers replied, "and this will also be the last time I appear in the capacity of 'Death Consul'; after this, I will just be an ordinary Death Angel."

"Very well, then let us begin." Bernadette was not surprised; the Aegis Family clearly knew that the "Underworld Emperor" died at the hands of the "Supreme Dream," but they were sensible enough not to dare lay a hand on the Dream Sect, otherwise, West Balam would not have been able to hold out.

Azik reached out and tore open the Spirit World, took out a crown, and placed it upon his head.

This was the Golden Phoenix Crown, the symbol of the Balam Empire's Administrator.

"Rise, my soldiers." Azik Eggers stood on the land of Balam and called out softly.

Boom—!

At this moment, the entire land belonging to the Ancient Balam Empire trembled slightly; deep within the Spirit World, an ancient aura was awakening, and a more powerful force was reconnecting with this land of Balam.

"The Underworld! It is the Underworld!"

At this moment, any Beyonder or even ordinary person with knowledge of the Underworld realized what this was at the very first instant.

That was the God's Kingdom of the Underworld Emperor, the final resting place of the dead!

After the great war at the end of the Fourth Epoch, the connection between the Underworld and the Southern Continent of Balam had been severed, making it impossible to reproduce the state of humans and ghosts living together as in the Fourth Epoch; now, this connection had been reshaped by Azik Eggers.

This army was originally prepared by the Underworld Emperor for the Second Empire War; if not for the "Supreme Dream," this army would have absolutely unleashed a pale disaster upon the Northern Continent.

According to rumors, this army was personally forged by the Underworld Emperor after the failure of the First Imperial War, intended to wash away the shame and take revenge on the Solomon Empire.

There were many reasons why the Balam Empire collapsed so rapidly at the end of the Fourth Epoch, and one of them was the disappearance of the Undead Army.

"Is this the Undead Army?" Bernadette looked at the increasingly distinct projection of the Underworld in the sky, vaguely seeing countless eyes flickering with faint blue light opening within it.

"Is that the Underworld of the Underworld Emperor?" Klein asked curiously.

Even later, when the Aegis Family recovered the "Pale Emperor" Characteristic, they still could not control this army.

"What is happening?" Klein and the others all sensed the slight trembling of the ground.

"It is the Underworld," Cattleya said softly, a purple light flashing slightly in her eyes.

And Bernadette even knew that this army was not as simple as just being undead; it also possessed the Authority of war and sacrifice.

A certain feeling of impending disaster caused them to interrupt all their actions.

With the Underworld Emperor fallen and the Administrator missing, the vast Balam Empire could not find a single person capable of controlling this army, and it could only be buried in the lost Underworld.

Yes, even the other Sequence 2 "Death Consuls" did not have that authorization!

They all looked up; the sky had dimmed significantly, and it seemed as if a vast world was overlapping with Reality.

And now, the true Administrator had returned, reawakening this army composed only of the undead.

—When the Underworld Emperor was still alive, He, as the "Death Consul," was the second-highest authority in the Underworld; now that the Underworld Emperor was dead, theoretically, Azik Eggers was the master of the Underworld!

"Yes," Cattleya nodded, "but this is the first time the Underworld has manifested in the Real World since the fall of the Underworld Emperor."

"The Underworld Emperor..." Klein thought of Mr. Azik at the first instance; perhaps only the son of the Underworld Emperor could accomplish this.

"This is aimed at the Rose School of Thought," Klein said with certainty.

Mr. Azik and Bishop Chumen were friends, and he also had a deep dislike for the Blood Sect; it was reasonable for him to join the camp crusading against the Blood Sect now.

"You seem to know something?" Cattleya gently pushed up her glasses and glanced at Klein.

Klein was just about to say something, but his brow twitched, and he immediately shut his mouth; his body was faster than his brain, and he quickly threw out a Paper Figurine.

The Paper Figurine expanded into a knight wearing heavy black armor; the knight swept his sword horizontally, and the door-sized heavy sword directly severed all the incoming earth, stones, and trees.

"Fairy Tale Arrival — Dark Knight."

In the more than half a month since promoting to "Fairy Tale Mage," Klein had become even more adept at using "Fairy Tale Arrival."

He had even combined "Fairy Tale Arrival" with the Paper Figurine, giving the fairy tale characters substance so they could appear in the Real World.

Ssh!

"Zatwin!" Miss Sharon suddenly let out a silent scream, and an invisible sound wave swept up the dust and leaves on the ground, all surging toward that figure that had appeared abruptly.

These things all gained a sense of life out of thin air, like an army charging toward that figure.

"I didn't expect you to be able to become a Demigod; I can only say you are worthy of being His student."

A man wearing black priestly robes stepped out of a shadow; his eyes were fixed tightly on Miss Sharon, his fierce and malicious gaze undisguised.

This was the very hunting target of Klein and the others' trip.

It was just that because of the anomaly in the Underworld just now, Klein and the others had the intention to retreat, but the other side was not without any discoveries.

He was very decisive in launching a counterattack, which indeed caught Klein and the others off guard.

It was only at the critical moment that Klein's unreasonable spiritual intuition played its due role, and he subconsciously launched a counterattack.

"There are many things you did not expect, for example, today you are going to die here!"

Maric roared, and a Wraith Scream pierced straight into Zatwin's head.

"You have reached 'Wraith' as well." A trace of wariness flashed in Zatwin's eyes; the promotion of the "Prisoner" Pathway had more uncertainty than other pathways, and being able to promote in such a short time was already incredible.

"Some accidents occurred, so let's settle it here." "Puppet" Sharon's figure vanished and she appeared directly opposite Zatwin; as the two "Puppets" stared at each other, invisible fluctuations rippled outward.

The entire land shook violently, and countless earth and stones peeled away from the ground, each becoming a soldier for a "Puppet," and they began to slaughter one another.

"Demigods are truly exaggerated." Leonard exclaimed as he watched Miss Sharon become so fierce, and at the same time, he began to summon the spirits he had contracted.

The combat power of a "Spirit Warlock" mostly lay in these spirits, which had great similarities to a "Puppet Master," except that the spirits of a "Spirit Warlock" possessed autonomy.

Leonard tapped his teeth lightly, releasing the natural spirits stored within his teeth.

There were three in total, which was his current limit, but these three natural spirits all possessed combat power equivalent to Sequence 5!

These were attracted from the Spirit World by the terrifying charm of Klein's "Dream" Pathway, and they were top-tier natural spirits equipped for Leonard with the promise of a wisp of Dream Phosphor.
