Chapter 382: The Excited Members of Abyss, A New Discovery
In the lore of the game YGGDRASIL, World-Class Items were condensed from the "leaves" that once ravaged the World Tree.
Each one possessed power rivaling that of an entire world.
Of course.
In the game, they were merely exceptionally powerful items, but when World-Class Items appeared in the Otherworld, their original effects would more or less undergo certain changes.
This was especially true for ownerless World-Class Items lost somewhere in the world, as they were highly likely to form special natural phenomena.
What Tang Zheng wanted to investigate was whether any special natural phenomena or events beyond common understanding existed within the Lesselde Tribal Nation.
The Lionman Priest's answer was "no."
This vast Great Grassland lacked complex terrain. Although the twelve tribes were not completely unified, they maintained contact and communication with each other.
If any special natural phenomenon existed, it was impossible for the priest of the strongest tribe not to know.
There was no other way.
Tang Zheng could only investigate the history of the Lesselde Tribal Nation, hoping to find his answer there.
The position of a tribe's priest is very special. In some respects, their understanding of the entire tribe's inherited history was even greater than that of the deceased King Anriel.
——Imperia Kingdom.
For the past few days, Evileye had been staying within the decaying Royal Capital. Although it was ruins everywhere, the place filled her with a sense of nostalgia.
"Hiss!"
"Awooo!"
Two undead zombies—one sturdy and gray-black, the other quite thin—let out low snarls from time to to time.
Under Evileye's "Undead Control," they arrived at a small cave hidden in the woods on a hill behind the former castle.
The trees here had long since vanished.
It was completely bare!
In Evileye's memory, this was a place where she loved to play hide-and-seek with Anastasia as a child. Though the entire castle had been reduced to ruins, this small cave had unexpectedly been preserved.
It was probably because it was just a simple stone cave.
The space wasn't large, and she was likely the only one who knew of it.
Anastasia was once her personal maid and had held the highest position among all the maids. They had been very close.
Looking at her father, the king, and her mother, who were placed inside the stone cave.
"I couldn't find Anastasia. I had locked her away with Father and Mother."
Evileye lowered her head, her undisguised, youthful tone tinged with an inexplicable sadness. "She must have been used as an experiment by that undead."
"Anastasia was probably my only friend. I'd originally wanted to kill that undead with my own hands to avenge her."
"But I was worried that undead might still be useful to that Dragon Lord, so I didn't act immediately. But he's dead now, killed by that Dragon Lord."
"Yes, that Dragon Lord... I met him by chance some time ago. He's a powerful and mysterious fellow, but he doesn't seem dangerous for now, so don't worry."
"That Dragon Lord said he considers me a friend... I don't know if it's true. After all, a race like dragons is always arrogant."
"Oh, right, I've made some friends now. I joined an adventurer squad called Blue Rose... Lakyus is a..."
Evileye's voice was steady as she recounted her experiences over the past 200 years.
The two undead stood silently inside the cave, as if listening very intently to her rambling words.
The sun rose and set.
Then it rose again.
Evileye stopped speaking, gazing deeply at the two motionless undead within the stone cave, remaining silent.
Suddenly.
"I will definitely find the enemy who turned you and everyone else into this!" Evileye's determined voice rang out.
Boom!
A massive rock was pushed, sealing the cave entrance with a roar.
Evileye took one last deep look at this place. She knew she couldn't stay here forever, nor could she take her undead parents with her.
The only thing she could do was to hide her parents once more.
"I'm leaving now."
Evileye spoke softly and gently, then turned and headed back toward the decaying castle. In her hands, she clutched two items.
One was an armlet shaped like the claws of some kind of monster.
The other was a transparent short staff, cut and fashioned from a crystal.
Griffon King's Claw: For a total of 24 hours per week, it can summon a Griffon King. Even if it is killed, it can be summoned again after a week.
Rainbow's Fading White: Stores the 5th-tier faith-type magic, *Raise Dead*. It looked like a short staff but was essentially another type of magic item.
These two magic items were both National Treasures of the Imperia Kingdom, items that Evileye had never been able to find.
Unexpectedly.
They had fallen into the hands of that undead, Cassius Habakkuk.
Evileye's gaze involuntarily fell upon "Rainbow's Fading White." This was the very item she had desperately tried to find back then.
It was just that she had been too weak at the time.
The castle was also vast, and she had no idea where her father stored the items, so she had never found it.
If she'd had her current power back then, she could have found it quite easily using a "Magic Detection" method.
Back then, she had naively believed that this "Rainbow's Fading White," with its power of resurrection, could save everyone. Thinking about it now felt somewhat laughable.
"Hoo~"
Evileye let out a soft breath, stowing the two items in her magic belt. The crimson pupils behind her mask glinted slightly.
"The dragon race has a naturally keen perception for valuable magic items. He should have discovered these two items as well. Why didn't he take them?"
Evileye was puzzled, unable to come up with an answer for the moment, so she temporarily pushed the thought to the back of her mind.
After obtaining the information on the Body of the Abyss, the Crimson Dragon Lord had headed to the target location.
She would now continue to stay in the Imperia Kingdom and wait for the Body of the Abyss to contact her again. In addition, she would also take the opportunity to study the "Magic Ascension Ritual."
...
Meanwhile, on the other side.
A castle built deep within the mountains.
Nine figures sat in their respective seats, each one exuding a terrifyingly dense aura of Negative Energy.
These were clearly nine extremely powerful undead. Merely by sitting here, the Negative Energy and death aura permeating the air would be enough to cause ordinary living beings to suffocate and die.
These individuals were the nine Inner Circle members of the Body of the Abyss.
Red candlelight, flickering in the corners, kept the Conference Hall from being completely dark. In reality, the illumination from the magic "Enduring Light" would have been better.
Besides, even without any source of light, everyone present was an undead, so their vision would not be affected.
This was likely a quirk of the castle's master.
"What terrible times."
The first to speak was the Sallow Phantom, its entire body floating lightly, shrouded in a layer of gray Negative Energy. It was a specter-type undead.
"You've been through a lot."
The Red-Eyed Duke sighed softly and spoke in a low voice, "Next time, who knows which of us it will be."
This person was the master of the castle, and also the most lavishly and ostentatiously dressed among all those present.
