Layer upon layer, like the bubbling surface of boiling water, the dark clouds surged.

The terrifying faces of various evil spirits stirred within, occasionally letting out shrills and roars.

Beneath this evil spirit cloud.

On the pitch-black and gloomy earth.

A group of people was swiftly moving forward, as their destination lay in the center of this land — the Tower of the Dead.

Throughout this journey, there was no undead blocking their way, or rather, there simply were no undead at all.

The path was clear and unobstructed, filled only with silent air.

And this group of people was Kane's party, rested and in perfect condition.

"Everyone, proceed with caution, ensure your safety, and in case of an accident, try to preserve your bodies."

Kane continued to remind the people behind him.

This time, there might not be much danger for them, but for the guild members behind him, there was considerable risk.

The members familiar with resurrection nodded knowingly.

Kane's resurrection skills and the Resurrection Items they carried, along with the guild's ultimate Spring of Rebirth, were their protection.

Only a few undead like Steel Bone misunderstood Kane's intention to preserve their bodies, thinking he wanted to transform them into undead.

Though flawed, at least they were alive.

No wonder there was cooperation with Facundo.

Such a strange misunderstanding lingered on.

As they drew closer to their target, the full view of the Tower of the Dead appeared before them.

A massive Bone Tower, using a giant beast's skull as its entrance.

Around the Bone Tower, gases resembling ghosts swirled.

The evil spirit-like clouds in the sky spiraled and connected with the Bone Tower.

The entire target was now visible.

Before long, Kane and his companions reached the front of the Bone Tower.

The area around the massive structure was unusually desolate, devoid of any undead or guards,

as if the building had been abandoned.

Not even a breeze stirred the air, only an expanse of silence.

Surveying the surroundings, Kane turned to the group behind him and said.

"Now, let's separate."

As Kane finished speaking, he led Kreya and the others towards the main entrance.

The rest divided into three groups, heading towards the goals assigned last night.

...

"Danger is coming! Restore your strength and prepare to face the enemy. I have a very bad premonition."

Lucerne stood up from his corner, shook his robe, and said in a low voice.

As he cut off his magic power output, two other undead also stood up.

Kane and his group were now standing at the entrance of the Bone Tower.

The life reactions of a large group of people, in their perception, were like lamps in the night sky.

Matteo's pale face showed a troubled expression: "These people are quite powerful, I feel a slight danger."

"If you feel danger, then get out and give up the intention to possess the bodies."

The Skeleton Monarch said deeply beside him, a giant bone-shaped warhammer appearing in his hand.

The hammerhead was even larger than his body.

Such a large weapon, each swing carried a strong oppressive force.

Anyone who encountered it could say they were either dead or crippled.

Just watching it could impose immense pressure on the enemies.

"I'm leaving, let me meet them first."

With those words, the Skeleton Monarch prepared to leave, carrying the warhammer.

"Wait."

At that moment, Lucerne held him back.

"It's not time to leave; the enemy is coming towards us, we just need to wait here."

As he spoke, he glanced at the corpse floating mid-air, its defenses already very weak.

"We must also prevent the enemy from damaging this treasure."

After hearing Lucerne's words, the Skeleton Monarch reconsidered and returned.

Joined by the two undead, they stood in place and waited.

However, they were all in a battle-ready state, maintaining wartime vigilance throughout their bodies.

No choice, this corpse was too important to them.

"Hmm, it seems their target is not just us!"

Matteo suddenly sensed something and spoke.

Lucerne didn't say much more, but a skull etched with intricate patterns and densely covered with magic patterns appeared in his idle left hand.

As magic power was infused into it.

The entire Tower of the Dead began to operate, the spirals connecting the clouds in the sky sped up.

Undead elements from the surroundings were visibly converging inside the tower.

The once lifeless Tower of the Dead began to awaken anew.

Snap!

The clear sound of skeletal operations echoed.

All sorts of crackling noises emanated from the Tower of the Dead.

"Did they sense us coming? The Tower of the Dead has been activated."

Standing at the main entrance, Kane and four others watched the creaking Bone Tower.

"Prepare, we'll give them a grand entrance." Kane turned and said.

Their entrance was tightly locked, covered with various ghostly green patterns.

It was clearly telling Kane's group.

They were not welcome here.

After saying a word to Kreya and the others, Kane swung his arms, magic power transformed into machinery at their feet.

A gigantic mechanical hand rose directly from beneath them, then grasped them in its palm.

The giant arm of the mechanical construct clenched into a fist, then smashed forward.

Gaps for heat dissipation opened up around the mechanical arm, releasing massive amounts of steam, with propulsion ports at the wrist.

"Bang!"

Carrying blue trailing smoke, it pierced directly through the main entrance of the Bone Tower.

And went straight upward.

The huge noise almost alerted everyone around.

"Is the President fighting already? Quick, let's speed up too."

The mechanical iron fist directly punched through to the place where the three Kings of the Undead were located.

Seeing a giant iron fist punch its way in.

The three waiting Kings of the Undead stepped back in unison.

The impact wave from the iron fist and the gray bone particulate surged toward them.

An emerald-green magical barrier wall rose out of thin air, blocking all residual waves rushing at them.

The back of the iron fist touched the ground, and then the fingers spread open.

Kane and the four appeared, then slowly stepped down from it.

Their entrance couldn't be more arrogant.

He took a look around.

The ground had a distinct triangular array structure, and that cracked, translucent sphere floated above this space.

With a faceless body wrapped in white robes inside.

With flashing golden eyes, Divine Gaze was inspecting the figure above.

Fortunately, there was no delay; the defensive barrier was nearly covered in cracks, still stalwart but seemingly not far from shattering.

The faceless body is likely Facundo's Divine Body.

The aura emanating from it could be felt distinctly.

Kane, who has dealt with Divine Power for many years, has a keen perception of any Divine Power.

On the opposite side of the emerald-green barrier wall.

The undead, dressed in gray-white robes, whose bright eyes were fixed on Kane.

"Living beings, why have you come?"

He could feel the threat emanating from Kane, definitely not someone easily dealt with.

Then, without waiting for Kane to answer, continued speaking to himself: "For this Divine Body?"

"Is this a Divine Body? Thank you for the clarification, but we're here for you three,"

Kane denied the undead's words, then said: "You have violated the rules here; the mist generously accepted the fragments of your broken world, allowing you to survive, yet you betrayed her."

"Now, you are enemies of the world."

Saying that Kane entered a state of Divine Power and pressured toward them with the presence of Divine Gaze.

The three undead felt the faint divinity in the aura from Kane, somewhat similar to the occasional aura from the Divine Body in the sky.

This made them more alert.

Yet Kane and the others did not launch an attack.

Looking at the three undead, Kane spoke with authority: "Now, kneel, abandon your dignity, and beg for the mist's forgiveness, perhaps she will show mercy and grant you a dignified death."

"Otherwise, your souls will be crushed and turned to dust in the air."

Upon hearing Kane's words, the Skeleton Monarch clad in heavy armor couldn't hold back first.

He lowered the Giant Hammer on his shoulder, stomping it onto the ground: "Want us to beg for death? Then let me see if you have the capability, you lowly insect."

Finished speaking, he dragged his hammer and charged directly forward.

Recklessly.

Disappearing instantly in the midst of charging, leaving only a faint trail in the air.

His speed was incredibly fast.

Faced with this, Longbei took the first step, his body instantly enlarging to 5 meters.

The transformation in size brought dense lightning entwined around his body,

as he swung the shield in his hand at the charging trail.

In the void appeared a clash between the Giant Hammer and Longbei's Shield, revealing the Skeleton Monarch's form.

This attack technique instantly stirred the crowd's memories.

This was the same technique used by the last boss at the end of Facundo's dungeon.

Although the levels were different, the attack method seemed quite similar.

Yet, certainly, the forms might be similar, but the difference between them might be as vast as the difference between heaven and earth.

As the two advanced.

Kreya and Kane also charged directly at the other two undead.

Meizike floated above, ready to assess the battlefield situation and provide support anytime.

Looking at Kane charging toward them.

Lucerne grasped the skull head in his palm, infusing it with magic power.

The entire Tower of the Dead under his control began operating once again.

The defensive mechanism was activated.

Skeleton Giant Beasts were continuously being produced, then heading in their direction.

The entire space revealed energy-like veins, spreading like blood vessels within a biological entity.

Surrounding bone structures began to show flesh-like membranes, pulsating as if breathing.

Undead energy began to gather in this space.

These energies transformed into threads, extending from the walls, linking with the three undead.

In an instant, enhancing the strength of the three undead.

Beside the threads appeared a golden curved saber, automatically slashing over.

However, the saber passed through without affecting the energy.

Facing Kane charging forward, Lucerne's hand manifested a giant emerald-green scythe.

He swung it, clashing directly with the golden long spear in Kane's hand.

On the other side, Matio turned into a pool of blood-red liquid, controlling the blood, forming various weapons, and striking at Kreya.

Kreya, transformed into a spiritual body, wielding a blade burning with black and white flames.

Weapons formed from blood vaporized upon contact with the black and white flames, emitting a sizzling sound.

Then turning into charred dust in the air, scattering to the ground.

The group immediately engaged in a fierce battle.
