"Damned Blasphemers!
"These lowly insects, don't get caught by them!!"

The Twilight City troop returned to an area they quickly cleared. Richard then ordered the troops to stop.
The first few battles to capture the spider churches would be slightly less arduous...
The further they went, the fewer spider churches and the stronger the enemies they would face.
At that time, it would genuinely be a bloody battle.
Now, he would increase his troops' strength to a great extent.
Kratos could do some bold operations without fear with the stone box.
Kratos stopped the troop and ordered the flying soldiers to be on guard while it operated on the stone box.
Richard looked around curiously.
He was no stranger to such treasures. Gunter, the fresh blood lich, could make a soul phylactery.
However, Gunter made only three soul phylacteries because of the Heroes' Altar. They placed one in the underworld, the other in Twilight City, and the last on Richard.
This way, they could resurrect one from them even if something wrong happened. Twilight City would most likely cease to exist if something went wrong.
Kratos pressed one hand on the statue of Lolita.
Endless dark power surged out.
The statue bubbled and melted.
The statue gradually shrank, and the dark power removed a few impurities.
Drops of black slime dripped out incessantly. The stone statue that was seven to eight meters tall turned into a stone slab that was only 50 by 20 centimeters wide and 10 centimeters thick after half an hour.
Tons of dark brown liquid dripped around the Dark Soul Eater. The liquid solidified and emitted a pungent smell of sulfur afterward.
The majestic dark power incessantly flowed into the stone slab.
The stone slab gradually emitted an evil power. Ordinary people would fall into deep fear instantly if they saw the aura on it.
Kratos no longer injected power into the stone slab, and a hand suddenly grabbed its head.
The giant hand with ferocious barbs pierced the head like a Soul Eater Crow.
'Rip!'
The sound of cloth ripped into pieces rang out as the giant hand pulled out from within. At this moment, one could see that it held a wisp of dark blue soul power.
Richard was at a loss for words.
"That guy… Directly tore its soul apart?
"How could there be such an action?
"Doesn't that hurt?"
Kratos did not care about this at all. It placed the wisp of soul power on the stone slab.
The stone slab directly absorbed the soul power into it like how a sponge absorbed water.
The dark aura it emitted suddenly converged, and numerous dregs fell from the stone slab. The smooth surface of the stone slab became uneven.
It appeared no different from the stone slabs Richard had seen on the road. It had become ordinary.
Camouflage.
Richard was amazed. "That was the stone box?"
He curiously opened the attribute panel.
[Stone Box]
[Level: Special]
[Special Characteristic: It contains a wisp of unique soul power. It can continuously absorb from the earth to nourish the soul.]
[Description: A treasure created by a dark life form.]
There was no description of the ability to resurrect in the attributes. It was likely that resurrection was Kratos' skill. This stone box did not have such an ability. The only thing that could resurrect was itself.
The function of the stone box was only to preserve the power of the soul.
Kratos picked up the stone box and walked up to Richard. It knelt on one knee and respectfully handed it to Richard.
"My Lord, I have successfully created the stone box... The soul power inside wouldn't die as long as it is on the ground. The power can revive me at the location of the stone box even if I die."
Richard reached out and took it. The weight on his heart finally lifted him.
This time, they wouldn't lose in the dungeon even if something unexpected happened.
Richard could resurrect Emily and Alves at the Hero's Altar, and so could the god's ancient tree. However, he could revive this boss at the dark entreant. So there was no need to be careful.
It would not be a loss as long as he could save the hero, even if they eventually failed.
They could still recruit the soldiers that have died. At most, it was a matter of how many resources they had spent.
Richard put the stone box into the system space and opened the map.
He looked at the remaining marks. He gave the order decisively.
"Head to the next spider church immediately."
The longer they delayed, the greater the variables.
None of the plane power that had reached its limit or the spider goddess's anger could drag his plans on.
Time was not on his side.
Moreover, the rewards from the churches they captured were quite a lot. They counted on the undead crystals, several experience points, and a latchkey item that could synthesize troops--Lolita's statue.
Richard already had five statues in his hands. He could recruit that remarkable spider-type soldier as long as he could obtain seven more.
Moreover, the dark soul eater had appeared again. This boss could devour souls to grow.
Those spiders would become its nourishment.
Fighting spirit stirred Richard's heart again.
He gave the order. The troops that had rushed in quickly left.
They moved toward their next target under the cover of the night.

"F*ck, what are these dogs doing?"
"I'm stupid! A real stupid! I shouldn't have listened to what many had said. The higher the dungeon level, the more treasures I can obtain..."
"Sacrifice… F*ck you! I am a descendant of Huaxia, a staunch supporter of atheism. And an evil god will sacrifice me one day! I'm not convinced!"
"What should I do... Was he going to do total annihilation? Sob... I have more than 20 wives in my territory. They wait for me to comfort them. I can't die here."
