Chapter 111: Bowing to a New Master

"Boss, they've all run away. What should we do? Should we chase after them?" Boone asked, looking curiously at Sylvus, who was still sipping his tea.

Sylvus nodded. Just as Boone thought Sylvus was about to move, Sylvus instead said, "This tea is quite good. Bring me some more later."

Boone smiled wryly. The enemies had fled, yet the boss was still thinking about tea. As long as they could defeat the undead kings, Boone would give him as much tea as he wanted.

Boone was about to say something else when he suddenly froze, his eyes shifting toward the outskirts of Holy City. The nine undead kings who had just fled were now coming back.

"Look, those nine are coming back! Could it be they still think they can take on the boss and are unwilling to give up?"

"No way, right? The boss already killed one of their comrades instantly. They can't be that foolish."

"Look at their movements—they seem a bit stiff, as if they're being controlled."

The people of Holy City discussed this strange turn of events. Meanwhile, Adolf and the other kings had already reached Sylvus.

To Boone's astonishment, the nine kings knelt before Sylvus.

"Greetings, master!"

Master?

Hearing this, Boone stared at Sylvus in disbelief. What did this mean? Why were these nine undead kings calling Sylvus their master? Could it be that the undead invasion of Aisral Continent was orchestrated by Sylvus?

But why had he then killed one of the undead kings just now?

Countless questions ran through Boone's mind.

Sylvus noticed Boone's gaze and smiled slightly. "Don't worry, they just fell victim to one of my spells."

A spell?

Boone looked at Adolf and the other nine. What kind of spell could make nine Ruler-level experts kneel and submit?

"Of course, it's the boss we're talking about. If he can crush the Heavenly Tribulation, what's a few Deities?" Boone thought, a look of realization crossing his face. If he could understand the boss's methods, then he would be the boss himself.

"Release them," Sylvus said calmly to the nine kings.

"As you command, my master."

With Adolf's words, the black cloud that had enveloped Elena and the others began to dissipate. Sylvus gestured to Boone, who quickly unleashed his power to catch the hundreds of individuals falling to the ground.

"We... we're still alive?"

As Elena and the others landed, they soon regained consciousness and looked at Boone in confusion.

"Don't worry. The boss has already killed one of the undead kings, and the other nine have been subdued. As for the remaining two, they didn't come along," Boone explained briefly.

The boss? There was only one person in all of Aisral Continent who could be called that.

The eyes of the hundreds of Mage Emperors lit up, filled with joy. They knew they had made the right gamble.

"Where is the boss?" Elena asked urgently.

"He's in the shop, along with those kings."

Elena nodded and quickly flew towards Sylvus's shop, followed by the others. seaʀᴄh thё novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

When they reached the shop, they saw the nine undead kings all kneeling before Sylvus, who was casually munching on sunflower seeds. This sight left many of the experts, who had never seen Sylvus before, astonished. They had thought Sylvus would be an old man, but he was so young. And to face Ruler-level undead with such ease...

"Thank you, boss, for your assistance," Elena and the others bowed deeply, their eyes filled with gratitude. If not for Sylvus, Aisral Continent would have already been doomed.

"No need. It was just a transaction," Sylvus said with a smile.

Though he said this, everyone knew that it was Sylvus who had saved them. In their hearts, magic crystals meant nothing compared to what Sylvus had done—no amount of crystals could achieve what he had.

"Summon your other two companions here," Sylvus said, looking at the nine kneeling kings.

Adolf nodded and released a stream of black energy, which disappeared into the spatial void. Seeing Adolf act so obediently, Elena and the others were surprised. Was this really the same arrogant Adolf from earlier? How had he become so meek?

"Your master should be in the Undead Realm, correct?" Sylvus asked, seeing that it would take some time for the other two kings to arrive.

"The lord is indeed in the Undead Realm."

"He sent you to this world—what's your mission?" Sylvus asked.

"There are two tasks: the first is to destroy the barrier around Aisral Continent, and the second is to find someone named Sylvus," Adolf answered.

Sylvus narrowed his eyes. Grey truly couldn't let go of him—specifically sending the undead to search for him.

"Boss, I remember hearing from the clan chief that there's a massive barrier around Aisral Continent to prevent the Fallen Angel from entering this land again," Elena said.

"That's correct. The master of these creatures is the Fallen Angel. The Dark Elves betrayed us because of him—I dealt with them earlier," Sylvus nodded.

"The Fallen Angel? So the Dark Elves..." Elena began.

"They've been wiped out by me. If I'm not mistaken, this Fallen Angel Grey wanted to use the undead to invade Aisral Continent to attract everyone's attention, while the Dark Elves destroyed the barrier," Sylvus said with a smile.

This information was no secret, and since it involved the elves, there was no harm in telling them.

"But, boss, the strength of Aisral Continent is no match for the undead. Why would he cultivate the Dark Elves?" Boone asked in confusion.

If the undead took over Aisral Continent, wouldn't it be easier to break the barrier afterward? Cultivating the Dark Elves seemed unnecessary.

"That's a question for these two races. They must have some powerful method that could destroy the undead or at least resist them," Sylvus said, looking at Elena and Ronald.

Elena and Ronald remained silent. It was indeed as Sylvus had said—if the entire continent was on the brink of destruction, they did have a method to resist the undead. However, it could only be used once.

Seeing their silence, Boone understood. These two races had always been strong, so it was not surprising that they had such a method.

"Do you have a way to summon Grey here?" Sylvus asked Adolf.

"Yes, master, but we can only summon his avatar," Adolf replied.

Sylvus nodded. Of course, the barrier hadn't been destroyed yet, so summoning his true form was impossible. Otherwise, Grey wouldn't need to destroy the barrier in the first place.

"System, if I use the Grand Space Summoning Spell, can I summon Grey's true form?" Sylvus asked quietly.
