Chapter 2528 And...

?Rean and Kentucky didn't let their guard down, though. Being in the range of the city wall also meant being in the range of whatever was trying to reach Aelrie's soul. With the pretty much inexistent remaining sky energy they had, they covered Aelrie, afraid she would be taken at any moment.

At the same time, they took out even more Divine Origin Energy cores and absorbed as much Divine Origin Energy as possible, replenishing their reserves. There was one good thing, though. Now that they reached the range of the City Wall, the Spatial Chaos Environment of the Chams seemed to have disappeared. They were simply standing in midair, with nothing harmful happening in the surroundings.

*Roar, roar, roar...*

Their group then looked behind, and their expression contorted a little. The number of Dark Beasts outside the city wall range continued to increase nonstop. In just a minute, the hundreds of Dark Beasts had already surpassed the thousands, and it seemed to increase endlessly.

"Just how many of them are down here?" Kentucky couldn't help but comment.

Rean shook his head. "If this short time was enough for such a number to appear, I can only guess it surpasses the millions."

"It's not that surprising, is it?" Aelrie also commented. "If you count the amount of Light Beasts in the Initial Areas, there are definitely millions of them spread all over there. However, the Chasm is such a tight place, so the Dark Beasts could only end up pilling up."

Rean and Kentucky had to admit that Aelrie's words made sense.

The roars continued to increase for the next few minutes, but Rean and the others just ignored them all. Their whole focus was recovering their energy and healing their injuries. For some reason, the Dark Red Flames of the suicidal Dark Beasts were hard for even Rean's Instant Recovery Skill to get rid of.

*Gruuuu...*

A growl then echoed in the surroundings. The darkness of the Chasm in that open area of the Dark Beasts seemed to give way to something else. Several red lines began to take form, and they were getting close to the City Wall. Obviously, all the Dark Beasts stopped roaring because of whatever was arriving.

Rean, Kentucky, and Aelrie were finally able to see the newcomer's shape. It was another Dark Beast, although very different from all the others. The red lines they saw before were, in fact, tattoos covering the Dark Beast's body, illuminating its form. Its size was also at least three times bigger than any of the Dark Beasts around. Above all, its aura made Rean and Kentucky feel a chill on their backs. That Dark Beast was anything but weak.

"Seems like the boss arrived..." Rean commented.

Kentucky opened his wings, ready to flee for his life if things changed now. "Should we leave? We can both go up or continue to go down."

Rean narrowed his eyes. If that Dark Beast could attack them, there was no need to move that slow in their direction. It could simply pounce from there instead of giving his group time to recover their energy. "Let's wait and see."

Aelrie couldn't help but tremble. "I don't know how, but I feel like that weird Soul Power is also trying to take control of that Dark Beast..."

Rean and Kentucky were surprised, especially by the word 'trying,' which meant it wasn't being controlled.

Finally, the Dark Beast arrived in the range of the City Wall and stopped in the same place as all the other Dark Beasts. The same thing that prevented the normal Dark Beasts from going forward seemed to have the same effect against this big guy.

Yet, it was then that it opened its mouth and...

"Let's make a deal."

It talked...
