Chapter 4026
There were several hundreds of thousands of fiends' dead bodies at the base of the Sealed Fiend Mountain. It was clear that Archfiend Antigonus was there to revive those bodies with a spell.
As realization struck Master Magaera, he did not hesitate for a single moment. Tn a single move, he soared into mid-air and cried out, "Gather around, quickly! Come with me, back to the Godly Region."
The hundreds of thousands of soldiers scrambled to do as they were told.
Just then, one of the soldiers pointed at a barely alive Skylar. " What should we do with him, Honored Master?"
"Forget him!" Master Magaera could hardly care as he spat the words out. 2
It was true that Skylar was immensely powerful. Yet, after suffering so many strikes from the Soul Slaying Whip, he was as good as dead, if not heavily paralyzed. The most important thing at that moment was to get back to the Godly Region to stop the Archfiend.
Soon enough, the soldiers had gathered. Following Master Magaera's lead, they set out for the Godly Region at top speed.
When he saw Master Magaera retreat with his army, Skylar finally exhaled in relief. Then, his vision darkened, and he passed out.
Skylar could hardly handle the hundreds of lashes from the Soul Slayer Whip. Yet he refused to look weak in front of Master Magaera, gritting his teeth and staying upright until then.
The second Master Magaera left, he let the agony knock him unconscious.
He woke to a series of loud, uniform footsteps not long after that. In the distance, almost two hundred thousand soldiers marched along. They sported shiny helmets and wielded long spears, charging forward with enthusiasm.
They were the New World's royal army.
A luxurious carriage that gleamed golden led the troops. It was pulled by eight horses—it looked grand. A man whose figure radiated power and royalty sat in the carriage, noticeable from afar.
It was Lord Kenny Brand. 2
A month ago, a strange occurrence had occurred about the New World palace. Right after that, Janson's spirit returned to pass on its soul. Lord Kenny had been confident he would be chosen, but it was Yvette Lane who had inherited Janson's fiend soul in the end.
That had filled Lord Kenny with nothing but rage. He swore that he would take revenge on Yvette. After that, an endless battle had broken out between the Carter family members and the Heavenly Alliance. Lord Kenny was a man of grand strategy and had thus laid low, not wanting to miss the opportunity.
A day before that, Lord Kenny had received news that a few hundred thousand soldiers had been spotted in the Kunlun wasteland. Lord Kenny decided to visit them with his army after some pondering.
Upon arriving at the wasteland, the hundreds of thousands of royal soldiers were stunned by the sight that greeted them.
The wasteland was utterly empty, seemingly devoid of a single soul. Where were the people?
Someone with sharp eyes saw a barely-conscious Skylar, and he cried out, "Look, someone's there!"
In an instant, everyone's heads turned to a hill not far away.
A figure was sprawled on the ground, unmoving. He was covered in blood and filth, his handsome features paled and sallow.
It was Skylar, and he was half-alive.
Lord Kenny frowned. With a wave of his hand, he ordered, "Bring him here, let me see who he is!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Two royal soldiers stepped forward, dragging the man back.
Skylar Blanc?
Upon getting a closer look, Lord Kenny had been able to recognize Skylar at first glance. The realization left him in shock
