Chapter 2437 Witnessing

Chapter 2437  Witnessing

The scene was like witnessing a miracle as everyone present in the Great Hall focused intently on the Frostbone Dragon being awakened in the center of the chamber.

"Elder, is that the soul of the Frostbone Dragon?"

"Yes..."

The central elder Timer gazed at the Frostbone Dragon and said, "Don't rush, let's observe a bit longer."

Before his words had fully left his mouth, a grayish aura manifested in front of the priest.

Whoosh!

As the soul of the Frostbone Dragon began to solidify, it was drawn by a grayish force toward a bone shrine that had materialized in front of the mausoleum guard priest.

Whoosh!

That was...

In almost an instant, everyone's expressions changed dramatically.

What!

The Shrine of Bones!

What was happening?!

Countless gazes fixed intently on the guardian priest who controlled the Shrine of Bones!

Who exactly was he?!

In the undead faction, only a handful of people knew about the Shrine of Bones being in Fang Heng's possession. Even some elders of the undead council were unaware.

Ji Xiaobo, seeing the Shrine of Bones, suddenly realized and focused intently on the mausoleum guard. A thought crossed his mind.

Whether it was the great holy sword seen earlier or the Shrine of Bones, both had an inseparable connection to Brother Fang.

Could it be that the controller behind this mausoleum guard was Brother Fang!?

"Whoosh!"

Before anyone could react, the Frostbone Dragon was absorbed into the Shrine of Bones held by the mausoleum guard priest.

Realizing something was amiss, the central council elders immediately turned their attention to Fang Heng, who was controlling the Shrine of Bones.

"Who are you?!"

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

In an instant, several soul chains shot toward Fang Heng, aiming to restrain him.

Strangely, the mausoleum guard priest made no attempt to dodge or block the attack, allowing his hands and feet to be tightly bound by the soul chains.

Hints appeared on Fang Heng's retina.

[Hint: The player has sealed the Frostbone Dragon's soul with the Shrine of Bones. Mission conditions are met. The player may choose to exit the current environment.]

[Hint: The default role is Team Captain. Do you wish to exit?]

Mission complete!

The Shrine of Bones was retracted!

Fang Heng thought to himself, "Exit!"

In the next moment, the three elders who had bound Fang Heng with their soul chains realized something was going wrong.

The mausoleum guards, who the soul chains had tightly wrapped, began to stiffen and gradually turned into stone statues.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Three stone statues of mausoleum guardian priests exploded one after another before everyone's eyes, leaving only a pile of stone debris on the ground.

This...

Everyone couldn't help but glance at each other.

What was going on?

Ji Xiaobo's heart pounded wildly, and he couldn't help but turn his head to look at Feudal Lord Dani.

Feudal Lord Dani also frowned deeply.

"Shrine of Bones... Could it be him?"

The room fell into an uneasy silence. The events that had just transpired were too bizarre.

"Oh no!"

Suddenly, a necromancy instructor had a thought and said, "Elders, Punoze was just attacked by the Holy Court. Is it possible that someone accidentally triggered the death knight's seal and came here through the death knight space?"

The central elder's brows furrowed deeply upon hearing this.

Indeed, it was highly possible!

Thus, those they had encountered earlier were likely chosen by the death knight.

If that was the case, it made sense that they could use modern necromancy language and script.

For thousands of years, the undead faction had been concealing information about the death knight's space to prevent more necromancy from being misled by the power of Empress Persephone and going astray.

But someone always ended up accidentally coming into contact with the death knight's space.

They often didn't survive for more than six months.

The crowd fell into silence once again.

Another central elder spoke in a deep voice, "Very well, let's leave it at that for now. We can investigate Punoze's matter when we return and naturally clarify it. For now, although the Frostbone Dragon has been taken away, the inscriptions left on the mausoleum are still here. They should be enough for us to study for a while. Continue."

Ji Xiaobo, listening to their discussion, felt even more anxious.

Punoze?!

Wasn't Brother Fang in Punoze right now?

It was clear now!

Ji Xiaobo was now almost certain that the mausoleum guard priest was indeed controlled by Fang Heng!

Absolutely certain!

Ji Xiaobo's heart pounded heavily. He rushed over to Elder Timer, who was resting after sustaining injuries, and asked urgently, "Elder, what did you mean by the death knight's seal? What is it?"

"It's a long story. Starting from tens of thousands of years ago, death knight spaces began to appear across various worlds. Ancient necromancy believed that the death knight spaces were summoned by Empress Persephone to select her servants."

"At first, we didn't know the details of the death knight spaces. Many people attempted to enter these spaces and faced numerous trials from the death knights."

"In the end, only a small portion of them were granted the power given by Empress Persephone and ascended to become Death Gods."

Death Gods!

Ji Xiaobo's heart skipped a beat. He pressed on, "Elder Timer, are you saying that the mausoleum guard priest we saw was controlled from behind and has become a Death God?"

"Very likely."

Elder Timer nodded, reflecting on what had just occurred. He continued, "However, how he appeared in the death realm and in front of us remains unclear. I suspect it may be a form of remote will manifestation, somewhat similar to how we enter the death realm through rituals..."

Ji Xiaobo scratched his head, feeling this was less important compared to the Death Gods. He interrupted Elder Timer's musings and asked, "The Death God we saw wasn't very strong, was it? Why should we seal the death knight? Isn't it better to gain Empress Persephone's power?"

Elder Timer looked at Ji Xiaobo with a serious expression and warned, "Never enter the death knight space. As far as I know, all Death Gods who entered the death knight space and passed the death knight's trials are dead."

Ji Xiaobo listened and immediately felt his heart leap into his throat.

"What are the negative effects?"

"Firstly, as I mentioned before, Death Gods are tasked with obeying Empress Persephone's orders and maintaining the operation of the death realm. But with her disappearance..."

Elder Timer sighed and continued, "You are somewhat aware of the current state of the death realm. Various factions have their methods of revival, and relying solely on the power of a few Death Gods to steal souls from large factions is nearly impossible."

"Moreover, factions also actively hunt Death Gods to achieve their own revival goals."
