Chapter 448: Chapter 424: Fischer to Hell
During the journey, Chris remained silent, taking up the rear, while Darren was in the middle, and Yeager led the way at the front.
Yeager claimed that as soon as he arrived here, he immediately sensed the entrance to Hell, and so he had the other two follow him, though he did not explain how he managed to do so.
On the way, he asked:
“Could you tell me one thing, Lord Darren, what are the items you need to complete the advancement ceremony for the 6th Rank of Path of Shadow?”
The young and handsome Yeager, with his golden long hair, looked at Darren and reached out his hand, smiling as he posed the question.
As the leader of the Dawnbringers, having stepped onto the 5th Rank “Silver Glory Knight” on the Path of Conquest, he had already become one of the core combatants of the Dawn Church.
Darren also looked at Yeager, and although it felt a bit unfair to the Old Dog who admired him, he always felt Yeager’s ambitious nature was more to his liking.
After all, sometimes Yeager could instantly understand his thoughts.
However, many of his own ideas were forever incomprehensible to the Old Dog, who had originated from the Killers…
He calmly answered, “The extraordinary materials I need are the ‘Corner of the Pitch Black Object’, ‘Remnants of the Nightmare World’, and ‘Death of the Undead’.”
“I see.”
After listening, Yeager pondered for a moment and then said with a smile, “Then I suppose the ‘Corner of the Pitch Black Object’ might be the most difficult extraordinary material to obtain, while the ‘Remnants of the Nightmare World’ and the ‘Death of the Undead’ might be relatively easier.”
He continued his conjecture:
“The so-called Remnants of the Nightmare World, if I’m not mistaken, must be located somewhere in the Spirit Realm, right? It may be difficult to reach there, but the danger probably isn’t higher than that of Hell’s space.”
“As for the ‘Death of the Undead’… according to my thinking, it should mean sacrificing some undead, although I’m not sure if there are any particular requirements in terms of quantity and quality.”
“You are mostly right.”
Darren nodded slightly after listening, deserving of being the leader of the Dawnbringers, Yeager had guessed most of the situation correctly.
According to the prophecy of Hecate, both the “Remnants of the Nightmare World” and the “Death of the Undead”…
The former indeed exists somewhere in the Spirit Realm, which is quite understandable, since the Spirit Realm is the destination of things like dreams and the subconscious mind.
As for the latter, the locations described in the prophecy are scattered across Cyart, with more than a dozen options; Darren contemplated that those are very likely “Resurrected Undeads” that have been hidden away.
The undead disaster of the past caused many undead to come back to life, and some Extraordinary Exponents, who died not long ago and were strong in life, could retain their former powers and memories after resurrection.
Since those killed by the “Resurrected Undead” would also become undead, possessing great potential for spreading destruction, the True Gods Church had long since ordered a joint decree that no matter the precise identities of those “Resurrected Undead” from before, whoever encountered them must completely destroy them.
Still, despite such orders, many people, when faced with their deceased loved ones, would more likely choose not to act but rather to help them hide.
So even after the undead disaster ended, many powerful “Resurrected Undeads” remained hidden in the world, not having been utterly eradicated.
Darren looked seriously at Chris and asked, “Uncle, I must inquire… how much longer until you fully master the 6th Rank?”
After a long silence, Chris responded very calmly:
“Just a little more.”
Is that so?
Darren truly hoped that Uncle Chris would be able to step onto the Seventh Tier of the Path of Tranquility, acquiring a power equivalent to a high-level Monarch, before the outbreak of the new war.
If he could reach the Seventh Tier, it was quite possible that no one below Heavenly Enlightenment could match him, which would significantly increase the Fischer family’s chances of success in the war.
Suddenly, Yeager raised his hand and squinted his eyes, saying, “Stop.”
The three of them quickly came to a halt; they were at a place in the Snow Mountain filled with snow, surrounded by nothing but white, with no apparent entrance to Hell in sight.
Unable to discern the entrance to Hell, Darren, with a furrowed brow, immediately asked, “How do you know something is unusual here? Are you sure?”
Yeager nodded with a smile and said:
“Tell me, do you remember Viscount Bast?”
Darren was slightly stunned, then also nodded and said:
“Of course I remember Bast, and it’s very likely that I won’t forget him for many years to come. That cold-hearted man had a profound impact on the Fischer family decades ago.”
