in front of the stone door of the stone tomb.

corporal mars and his group were leaning against the door, panting heavily. a fierce battle had just taken place here.

over thirty frenzied stone tomb bound spirits surrounded mars and his men.

penetrating, biting, and icy cold touches that could steal one’s soul.

the forked lightning released by the lightning spore couldn’t stop these crazed spirits.

it was a suicidal attack.

the bound spirits that surrounded corporal mars and the others eventually vanished in the lightning, but the human side also paid a heavy price.

three sergeants died in battle, and the survivors were left utterly exhausted.

“hang in there, mates,”

corporal mars reached into his pocket and pulled out an all-metal injector.

without hesitation, he stuck the needle into his neck, pushed the plunger forcefully, and injected the unknown colored fluid into his body.

his face twisted in pain, but the fatigue quickly faded away.

meanwhile, a few wisps of gray appeared in his hair in a brief amount of time.

“inject yourselves with the cell division promoter, everyone. otherwise, we won’t have a chance to stop the death notice spy.”

following corporal mars’ example, the surviving sergeants also injected themselves with the battle potions that exchanged their lives for increased physical strength, energy, and rapid injury recovery.

one sergeant, covering his chest while coughing, said:

“captain, sin soldier no. 079 and sin soldier no. 888 didn’t follow us… their chances are slim… we must get the rune staff from the death notice spy, it’s our only hope to destroy the undead runes… i am willing to be the first to try to destroy the undead runes!”

“no, soldier, if someone must pay the price to destroy the undead runes, it will be me first.”

corporal mars smiled bitterly and said:

“sigh, who would have thought that sin soldier no. 039 was a death notice spy? damn it! he actually knew about the undead runes! just what did he do to the stone tomb that drove these bound spirits mad?”

recalling the actions of the death notice spy, fury burned in the depths of corporal mars’ eyes:

“those bastards from division intelligence unit two, how do they audit the identities of sin soldiers? they let a death notice spy slip in…”

the sergeants heard this and started cursing.

“you’re right, captain. the guys from division intelligence unit two almost got us killed. what have they been up to!”

“division intelligence unit two didn’t even properly investigate the real identity of sin soldier no. 039 before stuffing him into our team… a bunch of irresponsible bastards!”

“i just want to settle the score with them now…”

as the team’s condition rapidly improved and their speech grew stronger, corporal mars clenched his fist and said:

“alright, mates, we’ve rested enough. let’s move.”

“wait a minute, wait for me-”

a voice came from the red fog of the poisonous fog.

the sergeants raised their short-barreled rifles.

some pointed their lightning spore at the direction of the voice.

“don’t shoot, it sounds like jarvis.”

mars’ face trembled with excitement and a strong sense of happiness appeared on his tough face.

however, he remained vigilant and did not immediately lower his firearms.

“it’s me, captain, don’t shoot, it’s me!”

noland lee came panting, with bruises all over his body, a noticeable swelling on his elbow, looking miserable.

noland lee waved his rune staff and shouted joyfully at the sergeants:

“thank goodness, i’ve finally found you all! this poisonous fog has me spinning, almost losing my direction.”

“don’t come any closer! ”

mars raised the muzzle of his gun, but the joy on his face disappeared, replaced by a hint of deliberation in his eyes.

speaking frankly, the series of events that happened earlier were too urgent.

so much so that mars and the sergeants’ attention was entirely focused on the death notice spy and the stone tomb bound spirits, leaving them no time to pay attention to noland lee and sin soldier no. 079.

at this time, recalling these events, corporal mars realized that his last impression of noland lee was at the moment when he ordered the team to chase the spy.

after that, what happened to noland lee, corporal mars had no recollection…

“jarvis, how did you and sin soldier no. 079 fall behind while we were chasing the death notice spy? why did only you catch up? where’s sin soldier no.

079?”
