The Mythical Path of a Princess from a Destroyed Kingdom

Inser trimmed her beautiful nails with a nail file, seemingly unconcerned about her father's death. Soon, she looked up and raised an eyebrow, saying:

"Looks like they're in luck."

Before the royal mausoleum, which had not collapsed even after the violent tremors, the tightly closed stone door outside was blown open from the inside. The members of the Bloodstained Society, Ebes Luti, and Whitney, all covered in dust and dirt, emerged unharmed.

However, they were inevitably in a sorry state; several people, covered in blood, nearly collapsed to their knees. The servants who were on standby and the priests who had been summoned rushed forward to treat them. Inser approached his father:

"Oh, my dear father, you don't look too well. Is it possible that I'll inherit the estate?"

"I'm not that easy to die!"

Opening her eyes in anger at her daughter, Aibes glared at Inser. The young lady didn't seem to care much about her father's emotions; she was now focused entirely on Maginus's whereabouts, and besides, she knew her father wouldn't die so easily.

"Boss, what happened down there? Why are you in such a sorry state? Even constructs shouldn't be like this."

The Bloodstained Society members questioned the leader of this operation, and everyone was somewhat surprised, as the group that had entered the cave was a group of high-level professionals.

The leader, hidden beneath the black robe, coughed, his expression turning somewhat grim: "That was just the outermost layer. Further inside are a large number of undead creatures and monsters, incredibly powerful and numerous."

Although the group that entered the tomb looked grim, their eyes were bright and alert, clearly indicating that the treasure inside the cave was indeed very valuable.

"By the way, how are Maginus and Walker doing?"

Abes looked at his daughter, confident that she would not be careless in this matter. After learning that Walker's hiding places were becoming fewer and fewer, he nodded slightly, pondering whether to stay and deal with the menace before entering the cemetery.

Whitney, seeing Abes's thoughts, said, "Just leave this to the subordinates. They're just two weaklings. The first priority now is to find a way to get rid of those undead creatures."

"Why not hire a professional?"

The Bloodstained Guild leader made a suggestion, referring naturally to the priests in the temple. Whether they were priests of evil or benevolent gods, they all had a way of dealing with undead creatures. The question was, who would be the best choice to ask?

Ebes summoned a nobleman and asked him about the temples in the capital. When he heard that the mainstream faith was the Three Good Gods, his face stiffened slightly.

The nobleman quickly skipped over the three temples of Endless Light, Sufferers, and Sincere Ones, and suggested, "Why don't we go to the Church of Wealth?"

Wealth...

The decision-makers present exchanged glances and nodded in unison; the money-grubbing Wealth Church was indeed their top choice.

"A strong aura of negative energy..."

The day after the team returned, Walker learned of the news from the cemetery and clenched his fists upon learning that even Abes had suffered minor injuries.

They came up covered in a lot of negative energy and the stench of corpses, which clearly indicated that there were a lot of undead creatures below the graveyard, just what Walker wanted.

The plan was thus altered. Once the group entered the danger zone, he destroyed the dormant barrier above the cemetery and then awakened the corpses within.

Simply using ordinary necromancy to awaken those corpses would be of no use. What Walker wanted to do was to pour a large amount of negative energy into the corpses of those former kings.

After absorbing a massive amount of negative energy, a legendary-level corpse would probably transform into an undead creature like a demonic soul corpse.

Gently stroking the dimensional pouch at his waist, Walker took out a ring radiating intense negative energy and rubbed it repeatedly with his hand. The old man Mordran beside him was astonished at where the ring came from, but as his attendant, he chose not to ask and simply stood quietly to the side.

The prince of the fallen kingdom couldn't help but recall the day the cultists approached him, and at the same time, he hesitated, wondering if he should have done what he did.

Chapter 37 The Escape Plan Begins

It was about a day after Maginus and Walker saw their loved ones' corpses. Walker had already planned to awaken the corpses, but at that time he did not have any suitable evil magic to turn the corpses into more powerful undead creatures.

Not every spell can turn the corpse of a legendary warrior into a powerful servant. He originally just wanted to try his luck and see if any of the ancestors sleeping in the Sleeping Realm had died with resentment and anger.

Therefore, he sent someone to the black market the next day to see if there were any powerful spell scrolls. However, when the person he sent out returned, Walker, who was alone in the house, immediately noticed that something was wrong with him.

The scout had become a corpse, which gave him a strange smile and tossed him a ring. Without any intention of hiding anything, he directly stated that he came from a country that was opposed to Nizmore and hoped to kill Whitney Nizmore. The cemetery was a good choice.

Unfortunately, they had no way to get close to the cemetery, and when Walker's men were collecting scrolls of immortality spells, they immediately set their sights on the prince who wanted revenge, and came directly to him seeking cooperation.

The boy had been hesitant these past few days, wondering whether to throw the ring into the cemetery. Walker didn't know if the cultists would use him, and what if the ring's magic affected the corpses and then indirectly affected him and his sister through their bloodlines?

This isn't impossible, so all he can do now is stall, stall until the most crucial moment before taking action. Those people want to use him as a tool, and he'd much rather wait until they're impatiently launching their attack on the cemetery...

But time really didn't allow him to wait any longer. If he wanted to get out, he would have to create chaos, and the best time to create chaos was when those people re-entered the cemetery.

Clenching the ring tightly in his hand, a flash of bloodlust and darkness appeared deep in Walker's pale red pupils. Recalling the horrific deaths of his loved ones, that last trace of hesitation was completely overshadowed by resentment and anger.

From both a rational and emotional perspective, he had to throw the ring into the grave.

boom!

A violent explosion rang out, and a house on the street near the palace was completely destroyed by the fireball. Several figures jumped out from the fireball, and "Wokri" grabbed "Magnus" and fled the area under the protection of the guards.

"Leave Maggie here, Walker! You know she's safest with me!!"

"Wokri" heard Inser's voice behind her. She kept walking forward on the street, and although she was walking very slowly, she was getting closer and closer to the two of them.

When Inser, who had cast a speed-boosting spell on herself, took her first step, she actually jumped slightly. With the gentle breeze blowing, her light and airy body was much faster than the other two.

Twelve days have passed since the graveyard exploration team returned. Inser finally reunited with Walker and her beloved Maginus. The girl tried to persuade the running Walker, but her hands showed no sign of stopping their attacks, constantly trying to aim at Walker's body.

As the petrification spell was released, Walker, who was running, suddenly fell forward. He turned into a stone statue starting from his feet, and the red-haired girl in his arms was thrown out. Inser watched as Maginus rolled and stood up in one smooth motion, and his face instantly turned ugly.

This isn't her Maggie!

He abandoned the two fakes and handed them over to the soldiers. Inser turned around and used his flight spell to fly close to the ground on the street, rushing frantically towards Susan, fearing that Susan would kill Maginus.

When she arrived, Susan expressionlessly pulled the longsword from "Magnus's" body, dodged a fireball, and glanced sideways at Inser.

"Tsk, sorry, I was originally going to beat up this guy who was pretending to be Maggie."

"Inser said sarcastically," Susan said, suppressing her murderous intent. She didn't look at the two figures lying on the ground, now without their shapeshifting abilities, and sheathed her sword, speaking to her attendant beside her:

"Notify the mages to speed up the search; this should be the last time."

The two women stared at each other coldly, then looked away and walked in the same direction. That was the location of the divination mage, and both wanted to get the information as soon as possible so they could obtain what they needed.

Susan, who had killed the fake Maginus multiple times, had become indifferent and only wanted to end things as soon as possible. Inser was determined to protect Maginus's life no matter what.

It was precisely because of this disagreement that Walker was given a lot of opportunities.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the capture operation, the several powerful individuals who had finished recuperating were finally preparing to enter the cemetery again today, along with several hired priests from the Temple of Wealth.

Under the watchful eyes of many, the group walked towards the cemetery. After learning that Walker and Maginus had appeared, Ebes and the others did not choose to deal with the two men, but instead stepped into the cemetery. The treasure was much more important to them.

……

Walker, who had barely escaped, was in a villa very close to the palace, surrounded by about a dozen mid-level professionals.

At this point, he had reached a dead end. This was the only safe place left, and prophetic spells would likely be able to pinpoint his location soon.

No, they've already locked onto him, because a large number of soldiers are searching for him step by step in an encirclement, gradually approaching his location. He only managed to escape danger by having someone else transform into his appearance.

As for Mordran, he had already broken away and gone into hiding. Walker also gave him a token, instructing him to hide in the capital. If he were to return and become famous many years later, Mordran would naturally continue to help him. If not, he could simply live a quiet life as an old man.

Looking up toward the cemetery, Walker clenched the ring in his right fist. He knew that his main enemies had once again entered the cemetery, and he immediately decided to force his way into the royal tombs with his men, put the ring inside, and detonate everything!

Maginus knew about the secret passage in the cemetery, and he could simply run out through that passage. According to the investigation of the mass grave, the secret passage had not been discovered by the enemy.

After exiting through the secret passage, they can find Maggie, and then the two of them can disguise themselves and escape from the capital amidst the chaos, at which point they will have complete freedom.

"Father, Mother... and Maggie, please bless me so that I may succeed."

Out of the corner of his eye, Walker glanced in the direction of the slums. He gripped the necklace Maggie had given him tightly in his left hand to calm himself, and then said, "Let's go!"

Chapter 38 Negative Energy Gem

Some distance from where Walker was, Inser and Susan were waiting for the mages to use their divination to locate the fleeing prince.

As the magical light shone, the hands of the mages surrounding them trembled slightly, and a clear image gradually appeared on the huge mirror in the center of their group.

It was at this moment that a dazzling display of fireworks appeared in the sky above the royal palace not far away. It was a distress signal from the army; they seemed to be in trouble.

However, both of them only glanced at it before focusing their attention on the lens. The scene that appeared made them widen their eyes in disbelief. They immediately led their men toward the location of the army's distress signal.

On the screen, Walker leads a group of men to charge at the defending forces, advancing steadily towards the royal tombs, clearly with ill intentions.

……

When the two discovered Walker's whereabouts, he had already led his elite troops like a sharp blade, breaking through the army's defenses and rapidly advancing towards the royal tomb.

A barbarian roared as he tore his clothes apart, exuding a savage and ferocious aura. He swung his greatsword, sweeping away the soldiers who stood in his way, his aura seemingly never waning.

But his hair was turning white rapidly; the barbarian was burning his lifespan to shorten the distance between the group and the royal tomb.

Spells kept raining down as the enemy mage tried to disrupt the formation, hoping to leave one or two members of the team alive, thus weakening the entire group protecting Walker.

In response, the mages in Walker's team constantly countered, even failing to save any spells to escape danger. Even so, the team that stormed the royal tomb was losing members.

After a series of deaths, Walker and the remaining five professionals finally rushed to the front of the royal tomb. As the mechanism was activated, the tomb gate was slowly opened, and the five rushed in.

Walker stepped into the ground, and having been here before, he immediately sensed that the atmosphere of the cemetery was completely different from what he had experienced before.

In the past, when I came here, the negative energy was calm and peaceful. Although it still made people feel cold and scared, it was generally acceptable.

But now a sinister and evil aura permeated the tomb. The prince of the fallen kingdom took a deep breath and ran forward. The pursuers behind him did not catch up, but instead blocked the exit.

Is someone guarding the area below as well?

Clenching the ring in his hand, Walker felt it absorbing negative energy from the air, the black gemstone growing even deeper in color.

They burst through the gate and entered the cemetery. There were no signs of damage to the place of slumber, and the slumbering array was still in operation, but the atmosphere inside made the intruders feel very oppressed.

In the dim light of the fire, Walker and his few remaining guards stared at the Bloodstained Society members ahead, raising their weapons in response to their murderous intent.

"The Bloodstained Meeting..." Walker gritted his teeth.

"Hey, isn't this Prince Walkry? Walked right into our trap?"

The Bloodstained Guild members were somewhat surprised, then revealed a very bloody smile as they rose from the coffins they were sitting on. Walker showed no intention of fighting them, and released his grip on the ring, tossing it to a mage beside him.

The ring was exposed in the air for a moment, and the mage grabbed it without hesitation and put it on. When he saw the bloodstains on the ring, the mage's eyes widened suddenly, and he raised his hand as if to cast a spell, while shouting loudly, "Hurry up and get that ring!"

The anxious tone suggested that he had figured out what the ring was. The others in the Bloodstained Guild trusted him completely and rushed towards Walker and the others in an instant, locking onto the mage who was wearing the ring.

However, the ring had already been put on. When Walker was engaged in close combat with one of the enemies, a strong impact suddenly came from behind, knocking everyone away, even the mid-level warriors!

The boy who was slammed against the cemetery wall coughed and looked up at the source of the impact. The mage's mouth gaped open in pain, and his right hand, adorned with a ring, was raised high. The negative energy around him seemed to become increasingly active under the ring's light.

"Damn bastards, do you know what you've done? We're all going to die here!!"

The Bloodstained Mage coughed up blood and shouted at Walker, his eyes filled with terror. He turned and stopped his teammates who were about to continue their attack.

"Stop everything. We need to cooperate to barely survive, that's..."

"Rett, get out of the way!"

Before he could finish speaking, the mage saw his teammates' expressions of shock and anger. He turned around as if he had sensed something, and Walker appeared beside him at some point, raising his longsword high and bringing it down with a bang!

With a flash of silver light, the mage, who had used the Shadow Step to teleport, appeared beside his teammates and glared at Walker: "You damned bastard!"

The boy revealed a cold-blooded expression, showing no intention of cooperating with the Bloodstained Society. At the same time, the mage wearing the ring had completely turned into a dried corpse and was soon reduced to ashes due to the corrosive negative energy.

The ring, floating in mid-air, trembled and cracked, until only the black gemstone remained, radiating an extremely evil light.

Just as the two sides inside the cemetery were about to continue their fight, they heard strange noises coming from their surroundings. Out of the corner of their eyes, everyone's pupils constricted slightly at the sight before them.

The stone coffin in the cemetery swayed slightly, and the iron nails that held it in place came loose from the coffin due to the vibration. The vibration intensified over time, becoming extremely violent within just thirty seconds.

The Bloodstained Society mage immediately cast a spell on the black gem in the air, and a force field sphere appeared. He attempted to use this sphere to completely isolate it from the outside world.

However, although the force field sphere enveloped the gem, it could not prevent it from continuing to draw in and amplify the negative energy, and the surrounding environment quickly darkened due to the increase in negative energy.

"It's too late to stop them..."

The mage's eyes widened in despair at the sight, but his teammate slapped him awake, asking, "What on earth is that?!"

"The energy gems created through the condensation of negative energy are enough to transform all the corpses here into extremely powerful undead creatures!!"

Upon hearing this, everyone in the Bloodstained Guild immediately glared at Walker with resentment. Had he not attacked the mage, they might have had a chance to survive if they had cooperated.

Walker completely ignored the enemies who had killed his family and commanded his guards, who were already prepared to die, to continue fighting the Bloodstained Society members to the death.

The moment he gave the order, the gem suddenly collapsed completely, and the iron nails on the coffin popped out almost simultaneously.

In the mage's magical perception, the dissipating negative energy paused for a moment, then surged into the coffins, and the hands of the skeletons and mummies all extended out of the coffins!

Chapter 39 Help from the Ancestors

Undead creatures, composed of the corpses of royal family members from past dynasties, broke through the seal of the slumbering barrier. They crawled out of their coffins, looked up at the living beings in the cemetery, and the soul fire composed of the remnants of their souls burned fiercely in their eye sockets.

"Ho..."

A soul-piercing roar emanated from their mouths, and everyone could feel the greed and thirst for life emanating from these undead creatures.

Walker observed their clothes to identify them and discovered that the more powerful the royal family members were in life, the stronger they became after becoming undead. Some even used powerful negative energy to create weapons that they held in their hands.

So many undead creatures? They don't have any priests here!

The members of the Bloodstained Society turned pale, exchanged glances, and immediately decided to leave the tomb, bursting forth with incredible speed as they rushed out of the cemetery.
