Chapter 1477 The Bad News



"I am sure that item would be fine for the evolution as well. Will you evolve Charon right away?" Creepysoo asked as he is very excited when it comes to new types of undead.

"Not yet. We must defeat the Soul Sucking Lich first so that I can choose from the two. Let us go to the Undead Citadel to ask about this Dreadful Heart and also about the Soul Sucking Lich once more." Adrian stated.

"I agree as we also need at least one day to recharge all of the skills that we used. Any news about the Shadow of Apophis?" Levin Cloud stated.

"There is nothing reported about the movements of the Shadow of Apophis. It seems that the involvement of the Sun God Ra in dealing with it delivered a great blow. The western continent is not peaceful though as there are still more monster attacks to each city." Adrian replied.

"I guess that is also a reason why most of the players are now at the western continent. There are actually reports that the monster activity in the central continent has risen. It seems that the migration of the players also affected the central continent." Peridot stated as she was reading the forums to see the status of each continent.

"Since there are no immediate actions on our end, shall we head to the undead citadel?" Adrian asked as Paradox opened a portal to the Undead Citadel.

All four of them entered the portal and arrived at outside of the citadel. The undead citadel is peaceful at this point in time now because the angels were not attacking. According to the sightings of the players in the forums, the war between the dragons and the angels is at a stalemate. 

The seven angels were not making a move and the ancient dragons were also not making a move. It seems that the clashes between the two races were more of gauging the strength of the other. Still, the players were mostly the ones clashing against one another as the experience they gain from defeating the other party is great.

A portal suddenly opened in the front gate of the Undead Citadel as Du'an actually greeted them. He told Adrian and the others that the Undead King was expecting them as he needs to inform them of something. All of them followed as Adrian does not have spatial access to the interior of the undead citadel.

"Greetings, brave children." The Undead King Arthur stated.

"Greetings, Undead King." All four of them greeted.

"I know that I called you early when we sensed your energy signatures, but I must tell you some bad news." The Undead King Arthur stated.

"Did something happen?" Creepysoo asked as he was worried that it might have been one of the undead knights of the undead king.

"It is not bad news on our part but on the Champion Equinox' part. It seems that the Soul Sucking Lich has been killed." The Undead King Arthur stated which made Adrian frown.

"Is there another one perhaps?" Adrian asked.

"Unfortunately, we have not detected another one but there is a chance there is another one. The only thing is that you might need to wait for at least one month." The Undead King Arthur stated.

"What happened to the Soul Sucking Lich? I thought that it was elusive and hard to find unless one has a connection to death energy." Levin Cloud asked as even the Undead King Arthur is not entirely sure of its existence as there were only clues.

"The angels were the ones that brought it down. Apparently, one of the angelic leaders personally came and defeated the Soul Sucking Lich. They are also the ones that plucked its core out of its body. I do not know why they did such a thing as angels do not have a way to manipulate death energy that undead give off." The Undead King Arthur stated.

"What if they did not get it to manipulate death energy but the opposite?" Adrian stated which made everyone have a moment to think about what he said.

"It might actually be correct as well. If it is a Soul Sucking Lich, then one of its special properties is to siphon the life force of those around it." Levin Cloud stated.

"But even they would have difficulty doing that as angels are not great at crafting or using cores of undead." Du'an stated.

"They might not be good at that, but they could just take someone that could. I mean it is those pompous winged airheads we are talking about. They like to have it their way after all." Adrian stated.

"There is no use speculating now as the other item is gone. I am sorry that we were not able to secure the item for you." The Undead King Arthur stated.

"That is fine as we have defeated the Dread Mansion… more like Dread Village though as it inhabited the whole village." Adrian stated which shocked the Undead King Arthur.

"Did you say that the monster was the Dread Village?" The Undead King Arthur asked in shock.

"Yes. It was the Dread Village, and it was incredibly tricky to defeat because it can summon dread beasts from the souls of those it enslaves. Fortunately, Creepysoo managed to summon a goddess of death that purified the souls of the deceased." Levin Cloud added.

"To think that our information is wrong. We apologize greatly and are extremely happy that all of you are still alive. To think that all of you combined managed to defeat a monster that is almost at the level of a demigod!" Du'an stated.

"We were just lucky that we can counter it. We did not get much from the Dread Village because some hidden powerhouses suddenly came to our direction, but I managed to get the heart that I need. The only thing is that it is not the Dread Heart but the Dreadful Heart." Adrian stated as he showed the Dreadful Heart.
