Darke twitched his brow and stared in disbelief at the crystal ball that cracked before hi it wouldn’t change the fact The truth was so clear that no excuses came to his mind

Vulture lost?

Just as Rhode had expected, undead creatures had theirthe deaths of their companions Vulture’s life shattered before him in the form of the crystal and left Darke anxious, as well as in an unprecedented fear

Although undead creatures were rarely fearful, Darke was genuinely frightened now because this was a huge trouble for hiined how his master would react if he knew that not only was the Bone List stolen, but Vulture had also lost his life getting involved in this

It was no wonder that Darke was so nervous After all, this e The conflicts between the four largest fa for a long tion soul successor had caused unprecedented changes in the country where new and old powerful fath

Darke was a est families in the Country of Darkness, the ‘Spirit Chaser’ Balende Family This fa Fa of hts However, their position eakening and although it did not reach the point of being precarious, they were not as strong as they used to be

The Balende Family was in a mess both domestically and abroad while the fael of Sorrow’ had been covetously eyeing their nuon had taken a liking to the weakest of all four faed as a new force to be reckoned with against the ‘Spirit Chaser’ These were the internal conflicts of the four families and on the outside, there were also fearless new forces that attempted to throw the Balende Family off their throne to replace them

The ‘Spirit Chaser’ Balende took actions The Balende Fa history, loyalty, and contributions to achieve their status in the Country of Darkness Contributions were the Balende Family’s roots After all, in a country of death, the Undead Knights, Lichs, and Necrorasp the foundation of the Country of Darkness, unlike the worthless Vaathering and assassination Although the humans that the ‘Conquerer’ Garcia led in the Country of Darkness had the s weren’t able to battle like the undead arroup of traitors like the ‘Angel of Sorrow’ to ilory for a long tiht to show their abilities to the new monarch

Darke was sent here to establish their achieve position in the Balende Fa further away frodom’s identity, there was always a person appointed for this task The Balende Faet Darke involved His si over his senior’s job in developing spies in the Munn Kingdodoel, there were many reasons involved and it wasn’t only because the Necromancers weren’t welcodom by the Balende Family because he had always been conscientious In a country where poere used as a basis in status, Darke’s abilities couldn’t be underestimated Sie, as a Necromancer who had reached the inner circle, Darke was considered a loyal ‘talent’ within the Balende Faenius didn’t necessarily mean that he possessed a political brain Darke reached the Master stage in merely a few decades and undead spells were as simple as a primary school mathematical question to him However, he couldn’t understand this political aspect of his job In some instances, time could make up for a lack of experience But some matters were just not that simple

In this conflict between Darke and his spy, it showed that he was the typical low EQ and high IQ, having no consideration for the feelings of others Not to mention, he had only left Country of Darkness for a short while and to his were just a bunch of ‘lowly critters’ who had to obey his instructions and were not worth wasting his tile City owner’s precious daughter, he abandoned the unfortunate spy decisively and tried to turn Natasha into his loyal subordinate instead The daughter of the city oas definitely worth much more than an ordinary Army General The Army General was only a critter to Darke and since he had discovered another critter that wasthat he would discard the one he had on hand Why would Darke care about the Arhts?

However, Darke didn’t expect that this critter actually turned around and bit him That was to be expected, after all; this ‘critter’ was also an ordinary huevity, he betrayed his soul even though there was a risk that this whole thingthat his choice didn’t give hi to let thisin the ceremony with Natasha, the Army General led his men and ambushed him In the end, Darke was forced to stop his cere bastards Even though Darke did e to put a stop to the du lady to seize this chance to escape!!!

This was an absolutely unacceptable failure to Darke However, fortunately for hi a Necroeneral and ordered his men to capture Natasha and Grendy Meanwhile, he sent out Vulture to join in the search in recapturing the Bone List

This plan should have been seamless, but he realized that it had totally failed!

Those foolish humans weren’t able to accomplish his mission and even Vulture and his men couldn’t survive Unfortunately, Vulture’s identity wasn’t that sihts in the eyes of the Balende Family As a matter of fact, the Balende Family knew that Darke lacked experience, which hy they sent Vulture to assist him

But now… The Bone List was stolen and Vulture and his team of elites were eliine how those tly humans possessed such powers If they were this powerful, they wouldn’t have chosen to escape So how did all this happen?

Who exactly did they meet to help them?

Darke had no idea After all, the Life Rock that he had on hand was only able to reflect life statuses and wasn’t able to transmit the actual situation Could it be that doels find ically, he should counterattack decisively to snatch the Bone List back and flee from this place as soon as possible, he was also clear that even if he recaptured the Bone List and returned to the faence had led to the death of Vulture and other Undead Knights The fah he was a talented Necromancer… Even his talent wouldn’t save him from such consequences

“daritted his teeth His head was a mess At this oals for the family anymore… It was about how he could cross this hurdle before his very eyes

Darke lifted his sulking face and stared at the fragmentation of the crystal ball After a fewhis arust of wind

On the other side, Rhode and the others e before sunset successfully

This was the only area with inhabitants in the White River Valley and it was also the resting point for plenty of e was built on the hillside of the valley with a doard-flowing river that had nurtured the villagers for years Aly, their houses weren’t made of wood Instead, their houses were caves excavated from the valley itself and were very suitable for hue was unfrequented as it wasn’t the peak season for trades, so there were e soers who lived here for generations were finally able to enjoy a rare, peaceful period of time

But the serenity was soon disrupted

open and shook the pub owner up from his breather The owner lifted his head subconsciously and turned towards the entrance where five exhausted, anxious travelers, including so ladies, stood The person who stood ahead of the group was clad in a black aristocratic attire, with a flat, shoulder-length short hair Although ‘she’ had a beautiful appearance, her style of dressing was overlyhis head Furthermore, she had a face as cold as an ice sculpture which he couldn’t gaze directly at

On ‘her’ left stood a young lady with a full head of pink in a ponytail She seemed to be the azed about casually Her pair of ears and the swaying, fluffy tail on her back revealed her identity But even so, her beauty touched the heart of the owner
