Chapter 481

In less than a day, the news about the army of death reached the ears of every person in Green-Leaf, however, it didn’t stop there . The unstoppable moving force which encompassed hundreds of millions of moving corpses grabbed the attention of several powerful factions, including the Holy Dominion .

What was especially eye-catching was the sight of the Lich King Aborak, the two mythical beings and the four Divine Beats guarding each direction of the army . Surprisingly, Isadore Marfront, King of Green-Leaf, didn’t deploy any forces to stop or resist the incoming army, which was clearly heading toward the capital .

In fact, he remained unusually silent, neither comforting his subjects or doing any public statement . Though the army was incredibly huge, its marching speed was fairly moderate . The Bone Dragons already started circling around the capital, freaking out its citizens, who persistently tried to convince the king to make a move as they were afraid of the incoming doom .

One more strange thing is that almost all of the sects residing inside the capital took the same stance as the king as if they were previously notified about this huge event . The sole exception was the Five Phoenix Kingdom, which actually sent its top experts to try and stop the moving army .

The newly appointed Patriarch of the Five Phoenix Kingdom heard the reports talking about a grey-haired man at the center of the army . He was protected by the two mythical beings and didn’t personally make a move yet .

Though there was a lot of objection, most of the powerful individuals of the sect still sided with the young Patriarch, choosing to believe in him and try to exact revenge on Arthur, who killed the last Patriarch a while ago .

Unfortunately for the Flame Crown Prince, there were another factions there rose to power inside his sect a while ago . Its leader, none other than Elo Huo, the prince’s cousin . He was firmly opposed to facing Arthur’s army so he gathered his troops and successfully raided the HQ of the Five Phoenix Kingdom, taking control of it while the experts were outside the city, preparing to face the undead .

Many people witnessed the short, one-sided fight that occurred a few miles away from the capital . More than thirty experts of the Five Phoenix Kingdom, including an old ancestor, were slaughtered within seconds .

The Undead didn’t even have to make a move as the Divine Beast guarding the North of the Army was able to dispose of all the enemies with one simple attack .

The Black Tortoise of the North easily subjugated the enemies and trapped them in illusion then spent a few seconds personally taking care of the old ancestor .

What was more astonishing, however, is that Arthur, who was at the center of the army, appeared before the corpses of the fallen experts and actually revived them!

Even the old ancestor, who was a half-Overgod was brought back to life as an undead . Though it consumed a lot of his Mental Power and he required the help of his Quad-Spirit, Arthur’s attempt was still successful and the new soldiers he just got were a considerable boost to his army’s power .

Though the revived ancestor wasn’t as strong as when he was alive, he was still able to fight Peak Sovereigns, which made him a valuable soldier .

Many sects, clans, and citizens spectated this fight and were absolutely terrified of this army, which was a small distance away from their home .

Contrary to everyone’s expectation, the army of death didn’t siege the city or do anything, it just started floating in the air, heading directly toward the humongous portal West of the capital .

Standing at the top of the Royal Castle, Isadore gazed at the enormous shadow of the floating army, unconsciously swallowing some saliva .

"It seems the army’s aura is contained... that’s a relief . "

Wrath, who was standing behind the king, commented while letting out a sigh . He wasn’t someone easily amazed yet even his soul was shaken by the sight of this great army . Whether it is the white roc which shook the city with its shriek or the ominous-looking double-headed red lizard which was silently following Arthur .

"It seems my doubts were for nothing . If it’s this army, I’m sure it’ll cause quite the impact on the Divine Planet . "

Isadore chuckled and glanced at the white-haired Saly, who was also speechless when she saw the army and especially her father .

"Aren’t you going to join him now?"

She shook her head, eyes still glued on her father, and replied:

"Uncle said not to interfere until the time is right . "

The young king pondered for a moment before he turned around and faced Christopher, his childhood friend and one of most his trusted confidants .

"It’s almost time, start preparing . "

The fat minister wriggled his body while trying to stop his body from shaking and hesitantly replied:

"Y-your Majesty, a,are you sure this is the right decision?"

In response, Isadore smiled and added:

"Of course it is . We have common enemies and despite our different goals, joining hands can only benefit both of us . "

Then he swiftly left the room, seemingly ready to set his plans into motion .

It took Arthur’s army exactly two days to arrive at the capital of Green-Leaf and use the portal to transport the whole army . Furthermore, it’ll take quite a while to teleport all the undead from Green Leaf to the Bard Realm .

In the meantime, these shocking news reached the ears of many powers but only a few started mobilizing forces to stop this army .

It’s not like they had anything against Arthur but they simply cannot tolerate the existence of such an evil army . One has to know that the aura of this army, if it’s not contained, can kill a whole city without having to attack a single person .

A faction like the Holy Dominion, for example, despises anything related to Darkness and Death and considers corrupted or ’Unholy’ so it came at no surprise when it was the first party to act . After a brief public statement, a sizable army composed of Holy Knights were dispatched to the Bard Realm, fully ready to meet the undead army .

Unfortunately, the reports they received from other parties and spies were not that accurate so the number of Holy Knights wasn’t nearly enough to stop such a malevolent force .

The army of the Holy Dominion had more than 500 Holy Knights, two Commanders, and Three Cardinals . Five Overgods were sent to get rid of this unusual enemy, plus, they were going to ambush Arthur as soon as he appears .

Clearly, he was the leader of the army so he was their primary target . From their perspective, if he falls then the army would be like a headless chicken .

Sadly, they didn’t take into account Aborak’s role and the four Divine Beast, which remained oddly silent and unresponsive .

"How accurate are the reports?"

Katrina was reading some documents while questioning her little brother, Benson . Unlike her, he didn’t know that Arthur was leading that army toward the White Specter Clan so he was confused as to why his big sister, the Matriarch, was interested in this matter .

After all, the Divine Planet was vast and it is still not confirmed yet that the army’s destination is this place .

"They’re accurate, alright . "

He paused for a slight second before asking

"But sister, why are yo-"

She cut him off mid-sentence and coldly said

"Stop asking questions and start preparing . We need to stop that army . "

Benson frowned and asked again

"Why? It’ll be a huge waste of resources . It doesn’t concern us so why try to stop it? Furthermore, the Holy Dominion already sent a strong force to annihilate the undead . "

"Hmpf! Do you think I don’t know? Sooner or later, the Holy Knights will perish . We have to prepare for the worst!"

She didn’t even let him talk again as she vanished from his sight .

Inside a well-decorated room which was equipped with everything a cultivator wants, Lucy sat cross-legged, her eyes closed and her aura contained . She was still unaware of what’s happening on the outside but she knew that Arthur will come for her .

Her meditation was cut short as a figure knocked on the sliding door a few times before entering the room . It was none other than her mother, Katrina .

Lucy opened her eyes, gazing at her mother, whose expression was different than usual . Lucy’s eye shone with a blue luster as it focused on her mother’s face . A crooked smile appeared on the daughter’s face as she snickered and said:

"Panicking, are we?"

"Do you realize what you have done?"

Still smiling, Lucy stared back at her mother and retorted

"I’ve done nothing to be ashamed of . "

Katrina massaged her temples and let out a sigh before talking again;

"Look, I was like you in the past, helplessly in love with a man, however, there are things that are not meant to be in this world . If he was a human, I wouldn’t have been against your relationship with him but he’s a parasite! An abomination that is only meant to ruin this world and its people . "

Lucy scoffed at her mother and said:

"Don’t kid yourself, regardless of his Race, you would have acted the same . Love was never about race, age, or background and if we have to kill thousands to be together then so be it!"

Katrina shook her head while lamenting:

"Ah! Eva, why must you act like this . "

Lucy only got more triggered after hearing her mother call her by ’that’ name . While clicking her tongue, she said with a bone-chilling voice

"I told you my name is Lucy!"

Her eye shone with blinding blue light which alarmed Katrina . Unfortunately, by the time she reacted, a strange grey and white flame already struck her chest .

Due to the big difference in cultivation, the flame wasn’t able to kill her but it still managed to burn her clothes and push her back a few times .

What’s strange is that she wasn’t even able to see her daughter move, much less cast that flame . What she was unaware of is that Lucy’s eye allowed to her to momentarily stop time but the cost was too high as she wasn’t used to her new ability yet .

Nevertheless, she still managed to land a blow on her own mother and was planning to attack again .

Before Lucy could initiate the second attack, she was struck by an overwhelming aura that immobilized her, rendering her unable to open her mouth or lift finger .

Katrina stared at her daughter with a gaze that contained many emotions, she walked close to the latter and took a close look at her face . She attempted to caress her cheek but Lucy’s glare made her halt her actions and retract her hand .

In the end, the Matriarch let out a helpless sigh and said:

"You’ll stay here until the matter outside has been taken care of . "

She turned around and left right after, though she didn’t forget to isolate this place, making anyone or anything unable to enter or leave this private residence .
