The six shadows moved in unison, all exactly the same.
The Underworld's Grim Reaper frowned. Why was it so troublesome to harvest this soul?
The Hellhound didn't matter, but what was going on with those six guys?
Why couldn't he sense any soul from them?
The six people didn't even care about the white shadow. They gathered around Marvin's body.
Soon, their expressions changed. ”What about his soul? Could it already have been taken to the Underworld?”
The six people suddenly raised their heads, and each of them took out a milky white gem!
The Grim Reaper saw that gem and his heart shook.
It was actually a Gem of Seeing!
And six of them!
What was going on with these people? Are such precious treasures so easy to gather?
The Grim Reaper was disconcerted.
He would definitely become visible to them with the Gem of Seeing.
Just as expected, after the gems burst with light, the six people turned and focused on the Grim Reaper.
”Hehe…”
”Seems like it's not too late.”
The six glared sharply at the Underworld's Reaper and maliciously demanded, ”Hand it over.”
The white shadow angrily retorted, ”Who are you? You dare to go against the Underworld?”
He noticed that the six people's faces were extremely pale. Their movements were nimble but they seemed soulless like puppets!
It was such a strange sight.
”Who am I?” the six said simultaneously, ”What does this have to do with you?”
”Quickly hand over the kid's soul!”
”Or don't even think of returning to the Underworld!”
They sure talked big!
The Grim Reaper felt that today was a depressing day!
He originally had happily come to harvest a soul but a Hellpuppy stole it at the last moment. When he was about to teach it a lesson, six arrogant weirdos appeared.
Why were the material planes so unfathomable nowadays?
No wonder his old boss was under the weather… It was so troublesome to collect a soul in these times!
He looked at them solemnly, the soul shackle and heavy scythe still faintly visible at his back.
”If you really want to challenge the Underworld's might, I'll naturally keep you company.”
How could he have expected the six people to just roll their eyes, simply not taking him seriously? The other side remarked disdainfully, ”The Underworld's might? I already challenged it in the past. I have no interest in your chatter, quickly hand over that kid's soul.”
The Grim Reaper's rage soared and he was about to erupt, but the Hellhound on the side suddenly barked!
The six guys looked back to Marvin's body. There was actually a Hellhound crouching next to it!
As they watched in bemusement, the Hellhound spit out a ball of mist.
That drifting mist was Marvin's soul!
They revealed a joyful expression. ”He can still be saved!”
But the Grim Reaper clearly felt otherwise, and rushed forward to attack!
He wouldn't allow a soul he fancied to be taken away by others.
The six men snorted in contempt. One of them took out a scroll and ripped it apart.
A black hole suddenly took shape, exerting an extremely strong pull. The target was the Grim Reaper!
'Shit! A Greater Banish scroll!'
As the thought flashed through the shadow's mind, he was sucked into the black hole before anything could come of his attack!
In an instant, he was sent back to the Underworld from Arborea!
'Damnit…'
'Who were those six guys in the end?'
'Casually taking out Gems of Seeing, a Greater Banish Scroll... it would be enough to banish someone on the level of an Underworld Overlord. And they actually used it on me?'
The Grim Reaper smiled bitterly.
Even if he didn't catch that soul, he wasn't too depressed now. Instead he felt a bit honored.
Hey! That was a Greater Banish scroll!
In this situation, he could only admit defeat.
But what made him somewhat curious was that soul... what kind of person was it, to have someone unhesitantly use a Legendary scroll for him!
...
Arborea.
Marvin slowly woke up.
He felt dryness in his mouth, and a throbbing pain in his head. He opened his eyes and saw a thick cotton screen.
This was a bedroom in the inner court of the Nottingheim Palace.
”You woke up?”
A cold voice echoed beside his ears. Marvin saw a familiar face.
Shadow Thief Owl!
But the current Owl seemed very pale.
”Origami?” Marvin asked hoarsely.
Owl slowly nodded. He continued with a grave expression, ”You woke up pretty quickly. But the troubles have just started”
Marvin subconsciously wanted to sit up, but he found that he couldn't.
The Hellhound at the bedside let out a pitiful bark.
And not far away, two Dark Knights were standing guard. He also noticed Nana, who looked deeply worried, being blocked outside by the Dark Knights.
Marvin stopped looking around and checked his interface.
Indeed, a state of severe weakness, but this time it was more serious than when he transmigrated.
