Chapter 2765 Sneak Into The City

The Tomb Star Cluster festered with the stench of death, down to its very depths.

At its heart stood a black city, its tall looming walls giving it a formidable aura.

Austin, who had disguised himself as a corpse soldier of this world, started making his way toward the city.

There were no guards posted outside the fortress, but the gates were shut.

The gates were engraved with dark, glowing runes, mysterious and powerful, radiating with deadly threat.

Austin discreetly used his spiritual sense to inspect the gates, finding it impossible to break into.

His only recourse was to hide in a corner near the walls and wait for the gates to open.

He didn't have to wait long before they did.

Corpse soldiers marched out of the opened gates, reeking of the stench of corpses.

Five black-robed men appeared to be leading this army of the dead.

Based on the energy they were emanating, the black-robed men were great masters at the level of the sect ancestor.

Under their command, the hundreds of thousands of corpse soldiers marched onward until they disappeared in the horizon.

After the last soldiers passed through, the city gates swung shut automatically and swiftly behind them.

There was no chance for Austin to slip through.

'Looks like they're on their way to reinforce their ranks, '

Austin surmised, following the soldiers with his eyes.

The Universal Allied Army was currently locked in battle with the troops of underworld.

The corpse soldiers that just marched out were on their way to the battlefield.

Half a day passed. Four or five more groups of corpse soldiers were deployed from the city.

'But why is no one going back in? Some of them would have returned by now, '

Austin thought irritably, his patience growing thin.

As if on cue, a massive force of about ten thousand corpse soldiers grew visible in the distance, approaching the city.

Each corpse soldier carried a black sack on their back.

Two men in billowing black robes stood out, clearly identifiable as the troops' leaders.

Their power could match that of the sect ancestor.

Ervin, after all, had earlier selected a large number of masters from the underworld to take with him in a massacre spree across the universe, in order to obta

ovements of the other soldiers around him, but now seeing the contents of the sacks, he came to a realization.

'They've been collecting the corpses on the battlefields and keeping them in this altar.

It's a storage space for dead fighters.'

The flags around the altar started flapping in the wind, releasing the law of death upon the bodies.

These flags were the ones preserving the bodies, keeping them from rotting.

After all the bags had been emptied, the two men in black waved their hands. The corpse soldiers then marched mechanically back to the buildings in the city, tucked themselves back into the packed rooms, and then fell deathly still.

All these corpse soldiers were clearly just activated and deactivated as necessary.

Sans activation or need, they were simply stowed away in the buildings like a commodity.

Austin went along with the motions, followed some dead soldiers as far as into a building, and he finally dropped his act there.

Once inside, he wasted no time scanning all the rooms with his spiritual sense, finding each one full of corpses, standing still like statues.

His spiritual sense likewise picked up on the movements of the two men in black robes, who were now flying toward a huge palace in the center of the city.

After making sure the black-robed masters had gone away, Austin snuck back out and turned invisible to be able to explore the city freely and undetected.

'It's time to find the Evil Shadow King and Master Damon, '

Austin resolved.
