Chapter 577: Victory! The Retreating Magic Kingdom!

“Yar Beide ， Nidaianzidarenchetui ， Shengxiadeshijiaogeiwomen 。”

By this point, in terms of troop casualties, the Necromancer Kingdom held a tremendous advantage over the allied forces of the nations.

After all, the undead army of Nazarick was simply too well-equipped, with vast numbers of high-strength mid- and low-tier units.

In contrast, the allied forces faced monstrous foes such as Soul Eaters, Death Knights, Death Swordsmen, Vampire Brides, and Snow Women.

Aside from the non-human armies, the allied forces had only a handful of human elites; all other common soldiers were slaughtered without mercy.

With Nazarick’s guardians occupied by Kankinryū and others, and Seiya locked in battle with Old Bone.

If the battle dragged on, the allied forces would inevitably be the first to collapse.

But for Nazarick and its members, capturing the empire—or any other objective—paled in comparison to the safety of their Supreme Being.

Now that Shalltear had lost her combat capability, and Anzū-sama’s HP, though no longer in danger, had exhausted his MP—rendering him unable to maintain peak strength—they could not allow their Supreme Being to risk himself further.

If anything happened to Anzū-sama, what meaning would there be in annihilating the allied forces? What value would their guardians even have?

"Wait, Demiurge..."

"Anzū-sama, we are truly sorry, but please allow us to disobey your order this once."

As Kankinryū, Emirena, and Zesshakumetsu arrived at the scene.

Aulla also immediately unrolled the massive scroll on her back and activated it without hesitation.

The Shanhe Sheji Map, one of the eleven World-Class Items held by the Nazarick guild.

Its effect traps opponents within an extradimensional space, with an enormous coverage area, over a hundred types of dimensions, and multiple methods to continuously drain the enemy’s stamina.

"A World-Class Item with extradimensional capabilities? But unfortunately, the abilities of this item were already reported to me by Kankinryū and Emirena during our previous battle."

Spirit Summoning! Azure Dragon Constellation—Weihuo Hu!

Vermilion Bird Constellation—Yihuo She!

White Tiger Constellation—Zihuo Hou!

Black Tortoise Constellation—Shihuo Zhu!

Domain Expansion—Four Symbols Flame Domain!

As Seiya swiftly formed hand seals, four enormous flaming spirits burst forth from the summoning array, appearing at the four cardinal directions: east, south, west, and north.

As flames erupted skyward, the surrounding environment transformed instantly.

Duikanglingyudezuihaobanfa …… Pei ， Duikangkongjiannenglidezuihaobanfa ， Jiushitongyangdekongjiannengli 。

As the Shanhe Sheji Map unfolded, Seiya simultaneously activated his own domain, clashing its domain power against the extradimensional force of the World-Class Item.

Seeing the fully unfurled scroll, stretching over ten meters long, encircling Seiya and his allies yet blocked by a wall of flame that prevented their absorption into the extradimensional space, everyone from Nazarick was stunned!

The previous ultra-tier magic was one thing, but now the enemy was resisting a World-Class Item!

Shalltear was absolutely right—this kingdom’s third prince is a true monster!

He single-handedly defeated Shalltear and Anzū-sama, withstood ultra-tier magic unscathed, and now even a World-Class Item can’t touch him.

"No, the Shanhe Sheji Map can’t contain them anymore, as Anzū-sama previously warned."

"If they escape, the space will immediately collapse, and ownership of the item will transfer to the opponent."

Hearing Aulla’s words, Demiurge and the others holding the rear guard turned pale.

Originally, Demiurge and the others had planned to use the power of the "Shanhe Sheji Map" to drain Seiya’s strength.

Then, when they emerge again, we’ll net them all at once.

But they hadn’t anticipated that the enemy’s strength and abilities were far greater than imagined—his resistance rendered even a World-Class Item useless.

【Demiurge, Anzū-sama’s order: immediately use the other World-Class Item, the Cup of Hygeia, and wish to return to the Great Tomb of Nazarick.】

Daizhelaogufanhuinasalikedafenmudeyaerbeide ， Henkuaiyong “ Xinxi ” Lianluoledimiwugesi 。

【But what about the World-Class Item "Shanhe Sheji Map"?】

【Anzū-sama says that your existence as vital combat assets of Nazarick is far more important than the "Shanhe Sheji Map."】

【Moreover, given the nature of the "Shanhe Sheji Map," we will have opportunities to reclaim it later.】

Yaerbeidehuayingangluo ， Zhouweikongjianbianrubolibanchuxianliehen ， Xianranshijiejidaoju “ Shanheshejitu ” Yechengbuliaoduojiule 。

After a moment’s hesitation, Demiurge gritted his teeth and pulled out the other World-Class Item, the Cup of Hygeia, which Old Bone had entrusted to him.

The Cup of Hygeia is one of the rare functional World-Class Items; its user may make a wish, and as long as it doesn’t exceed the item’s upper limit, the wish will be granted.

The more difficult the wish, the longer the cooldown; if the wish reaches the absolute limit of a World-Class Item, the item becomes a one-time-use consumable.

Demiurge’s wish at this moment was for all members of the Nazarick Great Tomb faction present to instantly teleport back to the Great Tomb of Nazarick, ignoring all spatial barriers.

At the very moment Seiya’s domain power forcibly expanded and breached the extradimensional space of the Shanhe Sheji Map, the Holy Grail in Demiurge’s hand blazed with brilliant light, engulfing them all before vanishing.

When Seiya and his allies returned to their original location, the World-Class Item "Shanhe Sheji Map," having failed to contain them, immediately transferred ownership to him.

But the instant they returned from the extradimensional space, they discovered that the Necromancer Kingdom’s army, which had been fighting fiercely on the Kaz Plain, had vanished entirely!

The allied forces, though unsure why the Necromancer Kingdom’s army had suddenly disappeared,

erupted into jubilation the moment they saw Seiya, the supreme commander, raising his sword and shouting, "Soldiers, we have won!"

Meanwhile, at the Great Tomb of Nazarick, when Demiurge and the remaining million-plus troops appeared on the first layer,

the World-Class Item "Cup of Hygeia" in his hand immediately cracked and shattered into fragments.

Clearly, the wish to forcibly teleport so many units back to Nazarick had exceeded the absolute capacity of the Cup of Hygeia.
