Lords go left, Emperors go right

"Sophia, this roulette wheel should be the treasure of the Demon Sealer team. When you borrowed it, you didn't use any special means, right?"

“Lord Osta, they gave this to me voluntarily. I am a good person and I will definitely not take away someone’s beloved.

"Lord Osta, there is no problem with the origin of the treasure. You will know when you meet the members of their team in the future. You can ask them for confirmation in person."

The maze layout in the Pluto Tower was naturally impossible to confuse Osta and the others. Sophia took out a strange-shaped wheel with a Bagua pattern drawn on it. According to the guidance of the wheel, the location of each soul in the nearby area can be easily detected, and the attributes of the soul are also clear, whether it is a broken soul, a dead soul or a vengeful spirit, it can be detected.

This Soul Bagua Wheel can almost be regarded as the greatest treasure of the "Demon Sealer" adventure team. I don't know why Sophia borrowed it. Given her character, Osta still chose to believe that the source was normal and not stolen after the team was destroyed. After all, Sophia's attribute is holy, which is different from Yulia's evil attribute. She will not kill casually.

The back spirits are incomplete souls, which can be easily identified on the Soul Bagua Wheel. The locations of more than 100,000 back spirits are sealed at the top of the Kloy Tower. In addition, Osta checked the Soul Bagua Wheel by the way.

Through Sophia's explanation, Osta learned that the total number of souls imprisoned in this Pluto Tower exceeded one million. In addition to the adventurers and mercenaries who died in the exploration of the underworld over the past decade, there were other dead souls.

When the Central Continent was being developed, many expeditionary forces from various human continents and empires had their souls secretly imprisoned by the King of the Underworld.

Osta had already seriously doubted the authenticity of the identity of the King of the Underworld. Sending souls back to the underworld for reincarnation was his job. The guy did not send souls away, but imprisoned the dead. Was he planning something else, or was he simply incapable of that? This was very questionable.

Before meeting the King of the Underworld, these suspicions still need to be proven. Without concrete evidence, Osta can't easily draw conclusions, so he can only explore first and then consider.

One of the five great demon generals under the two underworld kings stationed in Croitta, the dark python Corondo and the skeleton dragon Barant, some of them noticed the arrival of the invaders and immediately took corresponding actions.

The Skeleton Dragon Baronte was still hovering in the sky outside the Pluto Tower, so it was not easy to enter the tower to fight. The task of intercepting the intruders was left to the Dark Python Colondo.

At first, these two subspecies of dark monsters felt that the problem was not serious and did not take the invaders Osta and his group seriously. They thought that with just a few invaders, it would be enough to arrange one of them to carry out the interception operation. There was no need to arrange two of them at the same time, nor did they need to report to the King of the Underworld.

"You ignorant person, this is the domain of Hades, not a place for ants like you to come."

Osta and his group were riding on the flying magic circle summoned by Sophia, rising slowly in the air. As if they were riding a magic elevator, they were moving to the top of the Kloy Tower when they were blocked by the Dark Python.

This giant python is about 300 meters long and usually coils around the middle of the Pluto Tower, responsible for the defense of the area below 600 meters. The defense of the area above 600 meters to the top of the tower is the responsibility of the Skeleton Dragon Barant.

With the authority granted by the King of the Underworld, the Dark Python can easily put its snake head into the Croy Tower and block intruders from both inside and outside the tower. This dark monster speaks human language.

"Foolish man, there is a price to pay for entering here. Only death can... er, you... no... Impossible!"

"Quiet, you're disturbing the adults' peace!"

Before the Dark Python Colondo could finish his words, he was interrupted impatiently by the opponent. Chris gestured a few times at the void in front of her. Several silver sword energies were projected forward, and in the blink of an eye, the huge head of the python was beheaded.

The huge snake head of Corondo was cut off and fell from a height of 100 meters. The snake head smashed into the bottom of the Kloy Tower, making a dull loud noise and stirring up a large cloud of dust.

The dark python that was wrapped around the Pluto Tower also lost control and fell after its head was cut off. It hit the ground around the Pluto Tower, also stirring up a lot of smoke and dust. After falling to the ground, the snake's body spontaneously combusted and ignited a dark blue underworld fire.

This subspecies demon general was killed instantly. Dark Python Corondo was too careless before, and he didn't expect that the opponent could easily kill him. At the beginning, he didn't set up a defensive barrier in advance, which led to the embarrassing scene of being killed instantly by Chris.

The strength of the Dark Python Korondo is definitely that of an S-class monster, and it is also a giant monster type, which can easily destroy most of the human adventure teams and mercenary groups. This time, if Ya hadn't encountered an out-of-specification existence like Chris, she wouldn't have been killed so quickly. She didn't even last three moves, and was gone in one move.

The Skeleton Dragon Barant, who was patrolling outside the Pluto Tower, only reacted at this time. After seeing his companions being killed instantly, he was also confused for a moment. As a demon general, he fell so easily. The strength of the invader was completely unpredictable.

At this point, Barant had to report to the King of the Underworld to deal with it. A demon general had already died, and the difficulty of the problem was far beyond its ability to handle. It was impossible not to report it. Its strength was on par with that of the Dark Python Corondo. If the other party could easily kill Corondo, it would not be difficult for him to kill himself.

The King of the Underworld is currently in his Pluto Palace, waiting for the demons fighting on the front lines to report their results. In this Pluto Palace, there is a huge stone door, which is almost the same as the Underworld Gate in the underground space of Hadesmo Cathedral, the headquarters of the Pluto Society. They are of the same design style and shape.

The two stone gates are completely connected. The King of the Underworld usually lets his demon soul pass through the passage in the stone gate and run to the other side to show his power. His body stays here and usually won't go over. The King of the Underworld is quite cunning. As long as his body is fine, his demon soul can recover quickly if it is attacked, which is equivalent to immortality.

Except for the King of the Underworld, the rest of his demon generals gathered here and waited for the latest instructions. Since receiving the false information from the subspecies spider queen, the King of the Underworld's vigilance has dropped a lot, and he has somewhat believed the false news that the death loli Mavis has died in battle.

The King of the Underworld was waiting for his men to find the lost artifact "Death Cutter" and send the Death Scythe to him for final confirmation. Until this time, the King of the Underworld did not realize that he was about to face a disaster. A weak gentleman lord whom he looked down upon, in addition to raiding Croita, also had the idea of ​​killing the King of the Underworld.

Osta knew that after Cloita's actions, the two sides had become enemies and there was no room for easing. The gentleman prince simply went all out and took the opportunity to get rid of the King of the Underworld to prevent future troubles.

"What? Kolondo is dead! Or was he killed instantly by the invaders?"

"Barant, even if you die in battle, you must protect the sacrifice imprisoned in Chloë Tari. Hold on a little longer, and I will lead my followers to support you."

"Lord Pluto, please come as soon as possible. The invaders are advancing incredibly fast. They are almost at the top of the tower. I will stop them now."

The King of the Underworld received the information he least wanted to know. The subordinates who came to report the situation had a flustered tone, as if they had not expected such an emergency to happen today. Faced with this inexplicable threat, the King of the Underworld immediately summoned his demon generals, gathered all the combat power around him, and went to the top of the Kloy Tower through a special teleportation magic circle to block the invasion of Osta and others.

In the blink of an eye, not a single dark monster could be seen in the huge palace of the Underworld. The King of the Underworld put almost all his assets on the line, and all his men went out to stop Osta and the others. After a while, the sealed door of the Underworld suddenly opened a small crack, and a sneaky figure walked out.

A mysterious black figure walked out of the gate of Hades and walked into the depths of the palace of Hades with ease, holding a pale white skeleton dagger in her hand. She started from the gate of Hades on the side of Hades, successfully carried out a counter-invasion on the side of Hades, infiltrated into the core area of ​​Hades, and invaded the palace of Hades where there were no dark monsters.

"Finally, everything is over. The guy's real body should still be here. I have waited for more than ten years. This drama should end. Now, I am truly..."

The mysterious figure whispered to herself that she had been planning this for a long time. She had been at the gate to the underworld, secretly spying on the movements in Hades' palace through the crack of the open door.

There were always dark monsters wandering around in the palace of Hades, so it was difficult to take action. She could only wait patiently for the opportunity, and she waited for more than ten years. Finally, today was the godsend opportunity. The King of Hades led all his monsters to stop Aosta and others who invaded Croita. He did not leave anyone to defend. As long as he destroyed its body, he could easily replace it.

The Hades King actually left a last defense means in its body, a mysterious guardian. However, the secret protector did not stop the intruder's arrival and actions this time. It also wanted to take the opportunity to change the status quo, so it did not intercept and watched the intruder find the Hades King's body and then take action.

Chapter 154: The Complete Defeat of the False Underworld King

In the central area of ​​the Hellfire Forest, on the upper floors of the Kloy Tower, the Hades Tower encountered the strongest invader in history since its construction. Lord Osta led several exclusive accompanying combat maids and easily defeated the monsters guarding the tower. As one of the five great demon generals under the King of the Underworld, the Dark Python Corondo was killed instantly by Chris with a single blow using the silver energy halo.

The Skeleton Dragon Barant, who was also one of the five great demon generals, had a similar fate. When it rushed back to block the enemy, it was also unable to escape the fate of being beaten unilaterally. After all, the gap in strength between the two sides was there, and the gap was too big, so there was almost no suspense about the outcome of the fight. The outcome of the battle was doomed from the beginning.

"Damned intruders, you are not allowed to move forward even one step. If you move forward, don't blame me for being merciless and crushing you to pieces..."

"Your voice is trembling, are you serious? Who is going to crush who?!"

"You...wait a minute..."

"Too fragile, you are the same as a skeleton."

The skeleton dragon Barant's skeleton was broken in many places and was almost broken apart. Facing the aggressive invaders, this guy had no way to deal with it. He couldn't fight back and couldn't escape.

The reinforcements from the King of the Underworld have not arrived yet. By the time the King of the Underworld arrives, it will probably be dead. The Skeleton Dragon looked at the beautiful girl with black hair and black eyes in front of him. Barant refused to admit defeat for the sake of face. The words "Don't come over here" were stuck in his mouth and he could never say them out.

Yuliya fought with the intention of torturing her opponent. With her strength, she could easily kill the Skeleton Dragon Barant in one move. However, Yuliya had some special evil tastes and liked to torture her opponents instead of rushing to kill them.

Osta watched Yulia's behavior from behind and did not interfere. As long as he won in the end, the battle process was not very important to him.

Chris and Sophia beside Osta also did not take action. In this situation, they did not need to take action at all. Yulia could handle it easily by herself, so the two of them simply watched from the side and dealt with emergencies at the same time.

The Skeleton Dragon Barant was finally completely defeated, and was cut in half by the black energy blade from top to bottom. It was as if it was split vertically, directly cut in half.

The huge bone dragon was cut in half, split into two halves on the spot, and exploded in the air. As the energy core exploded, the skeleton of the skeleton dragon flew everywhere, scattering in various areas inside the Croy Tower.

In this state, the possibility of resurrection is extremely low. After all, the energy core has been cut and exploded, and the skeleton has been shattered into countless pieces. It is quite cumbersome to collect them and perform the resurrection ceremony. No one has so much free time to collect bones for the skeleton dragon Barant.

After destroying the Skeleton Dragon Barant, the subspecies of dark monsters stationed in the Kloy Tower were completely suppressed. There were no more guards in the Kloy Tower, and Osta successfully seized control of the Pluto Tower.

With the help of the Soul Bagua Wheel, Osta and the others finally reached the top of the Pluto Tower. The imprisoned ghosts were imprisoned in a square secret room, and the walls of the secret room were covered with all kinds of strange spell symbols.

Osta was not good at magic. After Sophia's reminder, he knew that these spell symbols belonged to ancient texts, which roughly meant the cage that sealed the evil spirits. The general method was to not see the spirit behind. Among the members of Osta's team, there was no one like "Black Rose" Avril who had the special forbidden artifact "Golden Eyes" that could easily observe the existence of souls.

However, this did not affect Osta's action plan. Yulia in front took out a strange-shaped lampstand. The lampstand was made of black gold. After it was lit, it was placed at the entrance of the square secret room. There was no need to go in person. In the blue candlelight burning on the lampstand, it seemed that human faces flashed by.

"Yulia, is this useful?"

"Lord Osta, it's okay. This soul-burning lamp is genuine. Don't worry."

"Ok."

That strange lampstand was the soul-burning lamp that Yulia got from the "gravedigger", one of the adventurer teams. Although it was not a holy artifact, the unique function of the soul-burning lamp was not inferior to that of ordinary artifacts and holy artifacts.

The soul-burning lamp uses a complete soul as fuel. Once it is lit, the resentful spirits will not dare to come over, fearing that their souls will be ignited. The back spirit is not a complete soul, so it is not afraid of the flame of the soul-burning lamp and can take the opportunity to hide in the soul-burning lamp.

The sealed space not only held the more than 100,000 ghosts, but also other evil spirits or vengeful spirits. Osta did not need these extra souls, so he could only rely on the soul-burning lamp to filter and select them.

This soul-burning lamp is also an important prop in the "gravedigger" team. It is specially used in some dangerous ancient tombs, especially those with vengeful spirits. When the owner is digging, he can light the soul-burning lamp to effectively prevent the vengeful spirits from running out to cause trouble and hurt people.

The status of the Soul Burning Lamp was the same as the Soul Bagua Wheel of the previous "Demon Sealer" team. Osta was also unsure whether Yulia had obtained the Soul Burning Lamp from the "Gravedigger" adventurer team in a normal way. The gentleman prince could only not ask for the time being, assuming that Yulia had obtained the Soul Burning Lamp by conventional means.

When the soul-burning lamp had collected one-third of the spirits behind the scenes, the King of the Underworld finally arrived with his monsters using the teleportation magic circle. They arrived late, and this was the second time that Osta had seen the King of the Underworld who led them.

Osta had seen him from a distance once before, at the Hades Society headquarters, in the Hades Cathedral, in the Netherworld Prayer Hall. At that time, the Hades Society was performing a descent ceremony and summoned the King of the Underworld. When the two sides met for the second time, the distance was closer, and Osta could see him more clearly.

The Hades King was only about two meters tall, much taller than Osta, and wore a black robe that looked more like a dark wizard's attire. Behind the Hades King was a large group of various monsters, all of whom were the demon generals under the Hades King.

The King of the Underworld was also looking at Osta. He did not expect that the intruder was actually the leader of the human race, not the death loli Mavis, whom he had been on guard against. The human race did not have such terrifying combat power. However, the facts were in front of him, and the King of the Underworld had to accept the reality and admit that the other party had that combat power.

The rapid fall of the Dark Python Korondo and the Skeleton Dragon Barant, the five great demons under the King of the Underworld, has perfectly proved that the human race on the opposite side really has that strength. The group of subordinates behind the King of the Underworld, the strength of many monsters, few can be compared with the five great demons, comparable to a mob, and their combat power can only suppress ordinary opponents, but not strong enemies. The only advantage is the number.

"Are you the intruders? This time, the king is in a good mood and can be lenient with you for once."

"If you leave now, all that happened before will be written off. I will forgive your ignorance and let bygones be bygones."

Osta originally thought that the King of the Underworld would be so angry that he would declare war directly. However, the faceless King of the Underworld still spoke in a cold tone, but from what he said, he seemed to be submissive and was trying to find a way out.

This guy is really strong enough. Three of his five great demon generals were killed by Osta and his group, but he still chose to forgive them. However, the King of the Underworld wanted to reconcile, but this side refused to do so.

Osta had not yet made a clear statement, but his exclusive accompanying battle maids, Chris and others, had already made their statements. This saved Osta a lot of trouble, and he only needed to watch the battle from the sidelines.

"We refuse. Reconciliation is impossible. Forget it. You have already lost."

"What? What are you talking about in your sleep? You know before I even hit you..."

"Of course, your strength isn't that great either, you're too weak!"

The tone of the Hades King became extremely irritable. He had already lowered his posture and made concessions. The other party did not follow the steps, which was simply too much. It could be said that he did not give him any face. However, the next second, the movement of the Hades King froze. He suddenly realized that the other party did not seem to have said anything big.

The entire Croy Tower suddenly became bright, the top of the tower shattered, and a dazzling light penetrated from above, instantly penetrating the more than 900-meter-high Pluto Tower from top to bottom. The inside of the Pluto Tower, which had not seen light for many years, was rapidly transformed under the illumination of the holy light, and a lot of black smoke rose, which was a sign that the vengeful spirits and evil spirits were purified by the holy light.

If you look from the outside, you can see that Cloy Tower is covered by a cylindrical light curtain of the same height as it, as if it were placed in a cylindrical glass body. The sky above this cylindrical light curtain is azure blue.

The sky was covered with dark clouds. At the top of the cylindrical light curtain, a concentric circle was cut in the area here. The sunlight could bypass the dark clouds and shine directly on the Pluto Tower. In addition, because the top of the tower was destroyed, the holy light and sunlight directly covered the entire interior of the Chloe Tower, instantly filling the space inside the tower.

The demons under the King of the Underworld were annihilated on the spot. Like snowmen in the sunlight, they melted quickly under the purification of the holy light, emitting bursts of black smoke before dissolving and falling. Many demons tried to escape, but they could not break through the holy light barrier outside and were caught in one fell swoop.

This move, "Judgment of Light", is a common spell of the Illuminati. Its power and purification ability mainly depend on the strength of the caster. When Sophia used this skill, she was a little restrained and limited the purification area to the Pluto Tower.

If Sophia fully releases her purification ability, the coverage area of ​​this "Ode to Light" can easily cover the entire Naroth Plain, except for Kloita. Wherever the holy light reaches, all heretics will be completely purified and eliminated.

"You...you actually dare to trick me. I am the King of the Underworld. I won't give in so easily..."

"You are just a fake, disguising yourself as the King of the Underworld. You can't even wield the Crown of Hades, and instead it has to be given to the Witch of the Styx, Melissa."

"How do you know..."

"None of that matters anymore. Now, this vile farce should come to an end."

The King of the Underworld was interrupted by Yulia before he finished his bold words. She poured cold water on him without any hesitation and directly exposed the King of the Underworld's false identity. This guy was not really the King of the Underworld, but just a servant under the King of the Underworld, equivalent to the eunuchs around the emperor in the ancient palace. The status of both parties was similar.

During the destruction of prehistoric civilization, the civil war in the traverser camp spread to the underworld. The real Hades was affected by the war and his whereabouts are still unknown. After the real Hades disappeared, a large number of fake Hades emerged. For example, the one in front of him, with his special identity as a servant, took advantage of the chaos in the underworld and stole the real underworld artifact "Hades Crown", and then escaped from the underworld.

This guy couldn't control the Hades' crown himself, so he used the Hades' artifact as bait to deceive the Styx witch Melissa. Melissa believed it and established the Hades Society, which led to the farce of the division of the Styx extraditers. Melissa's situation is quite special. She can use the real Hades' artifact and achieve a certain degree of control.

This scam that lasted for more than ten years naturally could not be hidden from the eyes of Chris and the others. The underworld is in chaos now, and there is no way to deal with these imposters. However, they have a way to deal with them. This fake King of the Underworld is not really strong in combat, only slightly stronger than the five great demon generals under his command. Because he worked with the real King of the Underworld for a long time, he has the aura of the real King of the Underworld on him. With this borrowed aura, he can pretend to be the King of the Underworld.

After his identity was exposed, the pretending King of the Underworld was speechless. It was indeed the case. Not only was it a disguise, but even the demon generals under it were all subspecies of dark demons, which could be considered as mountain goods.

"Things about the underworld, you outsiders don't understand so don't talk nonsense. What's the point of pretending? I... I am real."

"Well, there's no point in discussing whether you're real or fake right now. Even if you're real, you're about to be purified. This gentle light can purify even the real King of the Underworld, let alone a fake like you."

Sophia spoke softly and gently, saying something incredible. Under the illumination of the holy light, the false King of the Underworld, like the demon generals of his subspecies, was covered in black smoke, as if he was on fire, and complete dissolution was the inevitable result.

The holy light environment has a strong attribute restraining effect on the existence of darkness. Under the attribute suppression, the movements of this fake Hades King became slow and stiff. Not to mention counterattack, it was difficult to even move half a step. It seemed that it was only a matter of time before the fake Hades King was completely purified.

"Wait for me until I get back...!"

The real body of the Hades King is not here. The Hades King in front of Osta is just a proxy of the King who possessed a certain subspecies of monster with his magic soul. The real body should be hidden in the Hades Palace in the back. Therefore, this guy felt that the problem was not big, and was thinking of waiting for his magic soul to return and find an opportunity to make a comeback.

After the Hades King melted, a black shadow floated out from the body that was about to dissolve. The black shadow collided with the sacred light curtain magic barrier that wrapped around Kloyta, escaped from the Hades Tower, and fled in one direction.

The special teleportation magic circle could no longer be used. When the holy light descended and illuminated the entire Chloe Tower, the magic circle was purified and destroyed. The demon soul of the King of the Underworld easily broke through the seal of the holy light curtain magic barrier. Sophia, who set up the seal, had a calm expression, her mouth corners slightly raised, and a subtle look flashed in her beautiful eyes. It was obvious that everything she did just now was intentional.

"Sophia, you...did you let it go on purpose?"

"Of course, Lord Osta, if we really want to purify that thing, it won't be able to escape."

"Don't worry, I have already made a magic mark. We can easily track that guy wherever he escapes to. We just need to follow the instructions and go to Pluto's Palace to find this impostor."

The unlucky fake Hades King didn't know his escape route, as it had already been detected by his opponent's magic mark. Osta wanted to rob Hades' palace on the way to see if there was any hidden treasure inside.

Osta praised Sophia's actions. He planned to rob the palace of the King of the Underworld after cleaning up the Kloy Tower. The King of the Underworld was doomed. Most of his subspecies demons were purified in the Pluto Tower and had no ability to fight back. The worst thing was that his main body could not be saved. Someone had already got there first.

Chapter 155: Dark farce of mutual tricks

Located in the center of the Hellfire Forest, the Pluto Tower was finally completely breached by invaders after years of peace. The team led by Lord Osta, with the help of Sophia, one of the exclusive combat maids, defeated the Dark Python Korondo and the Skeleton Dragon Barant.

Osta and his men killed two of the five demon generals under the two fake Hades Kings, and also captured almost all of the active subordinates of the fake Hades King. Except for the Underworld King Demon Soul that escaped, the demon generals and monster subordinates that came with it were basically wiped out in the area of ​​Hades Tower, and the situation was already hopeless.

Under the holy light of "Hymn of Light", the Chloe Tower was greatly purified. The holy light passed through the top of the tower, penetrated the entire Pluto Tower, and went straight to the bottom of the tower. All kinds of vengeful spirits and evil spirits that had been sealed in the tower for many years did not escape, and were all completely purified by the holy light.

The special sacred light barrier surrounding the Pluto Tower blocked all escape routes for souls. Except for the fake Pluto King Demon Soul that Sophia deliberately let go, no other spirits could successfully break through this holy light barrier and escape.

Osta stood there, bathing in the holy light, feeling an inexplicable sense of peace. The baptism of holy light is harmless to the human race, except for those who practiced necromancy, which is a very rare exception. Chris was also fine, the beautiful girl with silver hair and silver eyes, whose camp attribute tended to be neutral.

Yuliya felt a little uncomfortable, so she retreated behind Osta and used the shadow behind him to block a lot of the holy light. After all, their attributes were mutually exclusive. Fortunately, Yuliya and Sophia were at the same level, and this level of holy light could only make her feel slightly uncomfortable at best, and would not cause any substantial damage.

"This tower... it's a pity, but it's also good. If it is destroyed, those imprisoned souls will be able to gain true freedom."
