the woman is determined to end her
suffering and no one can deter her giu
tonon size acknowledging the Grim
reality she take lives swiftly but
saving them proves far more challenging
with one hand gripping each companion
she leads them away without a backward
glance let us depart the group ascends
into the sky once more eventually
halting before the imposing structures
of the palace the high walls Shimmer
with a myriad of colors while below a
throng of Underworld creatures swarm
seemingly endless L Zing gazes in
astonishment no wonder the Royal City
appeared so devoid of such creatures
they were all all gathered here the
palace is besieged hang fuing States
Gravely uton observes the densely packed
underworld beings attempting to breach
the palace and is perplexed as to why
they cannot enter these creatures emerge
From The Underground often without
warning making them difficult to defend
against the beings they slay unless
reduced to Ash by other worldly Flames
will over time transform into their kind
Vanishing from their original locations
initially when the underworld creatures
began to infiltrate they stealthily
dragged away some corpses a fact only
discovered long after the fact during
their cleanup efforts in the forest
Wonderland gon tion had wondered why
there were not as many bodies as
expected noting a number of
disappearances but attributing them to
elves escaping be why the time the
underworld creatures proliferated across
the continent it was far too late to
realize the severity of the situation
this rapid spread across the Divine
continent reflects the reason behind the
Swift collapse of civilization they are
like a plague insidiously infectious and
by the time they are recognized
countless areas have already succumbed
it is a far more terrifying existence
than mere zombies without special
abilities how can one hope to control
them it is but a feudal resistance yet
the ground encompassing the human Royal
Palace seems to thwart the emergence of
these underworld beings which is indeed
peculiar hang fuing too is taken aback
pondering aloud it it is said that the
first human Emperor chose a site a top a
unique Dragon vein when constructing the
palace he Enlisted the most renowned
array masters of the Divine continent to
lay down a grand formation throughout
the palace perhaps this has played a
crucial role when he passed through the
Royal City earlier he had witnessed the
Grim spectacle and assumed the palace
had fallen he did not anticipate such a
fortuitous revelation after thorough
contemplation this seemed to be the only
plausible explanation the area above the
palace is restricted airspace
how do we gain entry Jang inquired with
their fate sealed he was more concerned
with how to infiltrate and fulfill their
mission even if they reached the Royal
City now the task had yet to commence
the airspace above the palace is
undoubtedly off limits while below is
swarming with underworld creatures
making their attempt to enter and offer
assistance a daunting challenge after a
moment of reflection Wong fuing s sword
pivoted slightly follow me exchanging
glances gonon and the others immediately
fall in line behind him Wang fuing
evidently has a plan yet he refrains
from elaborating and they do not press
for details their flight is Swift and
before long they emerge from the Royal
City descending into a desolate Forest
once they touch down Wang fuing explains
there is a secret passage leading to the
Palace he raises his gaze to meet each
of theirs this is a closely guarded
secret of my Royal lineage and I hope
you will keep it to yourselves gu onon
nods an understanding rest assured the
others Echo their agreement however hang
fuing s demeanor remains tense and the
expressions of his accompanying guards
are ghostly pale yet they remain silent
