"What did you see?" Mia asked as Kai and Risea ca back.
"Undead elves." He replied as many of them looked at him in confusion although they already got the basic idea about what he was speaking.
"Amon is being supported by a powerful necromancer. The necromancer might just be Hela but I have a feeling that it's not her." He added as he started thinking about their next move.
He hadn't visited the land of death many tis but he still knew the different cities in it. The continent, just like other continents, had a royal capital.
The royal capital on the land of death however was not full of wealthy nobles. Almost all of the houses were created with stone and even the castle was created with it.
The people living away from the royal capital suffered pretty badly as they had to face attacks from wild beasts and the like.
They received no help from Amon and his soldiers and many died just because of that. Other than that, the soil was pretty spoilt because of the extre amounts of yin energy so crops hardly grew on the lands.
Everyone living away from the royal capital were forced to grow crops or Amon's soldiers would co and kill them.
But the people living in the royal capital did live much better lives than the ones living outside.
Most people living in the royal capital were either soldiers or crop managent in charge. Amon didn't have a council of ministers anything like that and ruled the entire continent by wielding fear as his weapon.
The elves were so frightened of him that they hardly did anything against him. But so had tried to escape to the outside but had failed as they were killed by spiritual beasts.
"Hey Kai, if there are only males on this continent, then how does the population survive without giving birth to new elves?" Kiana asked a question that had been bugging her for quite so while.
"This continent is like a cult. The only requirents for you to beco a citizen of this continent is that you should be a male and you should have the dark elent. Nurous elves from other continents travel to this place to forget their past and start a new life." Kai explained as he finally decided on a new plan.
"We will slowly travel towards the royal capital and would stop in villages to check if there are undead there or not." Kai said as the group started moving again.
After traveling for a day, they ca to a village that almost looked deserted from the conditions of its houses and other things.
If not for the elves roaming around, no one would have believed that soone would be living in this dead of a place.
"No undead here." Risea said as they continued their journey.
They traveled for another week and saw many places like the first one but they saw no undead roaming around anywhere.
Kai however was feeling as though they were getting close to sothing as the number of spiritual beasts they encountered was starting to decrease.
Currently, they had spent an entire day walking and had not encountered a single beast. Kai was about to change directions when he suddenly felt sothing at the edge of his spiritual sense.
"Undead elves and they have undead spiritual beasts with them." Kai suddenly said as the group went alert.
Kai directly teleported them to the area as they saw nurous undead creatures moving around. But when these creatures saw the group, they suddenly turned to dust.
"Is that supposed to happen?" Many of them asked at the sa ti as Kai shook his head.
'This was a trap to lure us out. The last ti we had killed those elves and that must have notified the necromancer about our presence. But since they didn't co here themselves, they probably don't know how many people killed the beasts. We should be even more careful from now on.' Kai ntally noted as he turned towards the group.
"From today onwards, we are directly going towards the palace and will not sidetrack from our route." Kai told them as they started moving towards the east.

In the castle, Esralda opened her eyes as she was sitting on a chair in the throne room. Hela was sitting on a dark gleaming throne while Amon was sitting a little below her on a throne made from bones.
Even though Amon had wanted to sit on the highest throne, it was impossible since Hela was the goddess he preached.
Even ruthless n had people they had faith in.
"I was right. Soone really is looking for the undead elves. I don't know their exact number but soone found one of my squadrons a few day's journeys away from the first one. If my guess is right, then they are probably trying to destroy them." Esralda told the two people as Amon looked outside with a curious look.
"They are not trying to destroy the undead. They are trying to co here while observing the undead." He said as he turned to look at Hela whose face was morphed into a sadistic smile.
"Then let them co here." Hela said in a tone that was enough to send to make goosebumps appear on Esralda's body.
'How can she and I be sisters?' Esralda wondered silently as she looked at her brother and sister sitting on the thrones.

"That is creepy." Mariel remarked as she looked at the black stone castle standing tall in the distance.
"You have been to Hela's palace as well Sierra's palace and you find this creepy?" Kai teased her as Mariel pouted.
"There palaces were outright frightening. But this one is just plain black and that sohow makes it much more creepy." Mariel replied as Kai suddenly stopped everyone.
"From here onwards, things are going to get serious. I am directly teleporting us inside the castle so be prepared to fight." They nodded but before Kai could teleport them, a figure suddenly appeared in his spiritual sense.
He frowned a little as the figure was moving at an unimaginably fast pace and it appeared in front of them within a few seconds.
Everyone looked at the figure in shock as she appeared in front of them. Kai had told them that only n lived in the continent so what was a girl doing here.
They looked at Kai for answers but his face was masked with a neutral expression and they couldn't read anything on it.
"Oh, who could have guessed that our intruders were a handso boy and a group of won. How did you manage to enter this place anyways?" Esralda asked them with an interesting expression as Kai stretched his aura around the group.
"Hmm, you have a higher cultivation than ? But that's impossible since I am at the 6th stage of the Saint core realm." Esralda said as she examined Kai with an interested expression.
"Esralda, also known as the queen of necromancy. You are famous for your unimaginable powers to resurrect dead elves. But the most surprising thing is that you are not an elf yourself." Kai said with a smile that didn't reach his eyes as Esralda's eyes narrowed.
"None of you are elves as well." Esralda retorted as the group stared at her with wide eyes.
The person in front of them was not only the owner of the world's biggest library but was also a necromancy expert. Though only so of them knew that.
The others knew that the woman in front of them was another one of Kai's lovers and was probably too dangerous.
'Two girls on the sa continent and both of them had to be the ones with extre yin energy. Their powers are probably multiplied by this vast yin energy. I still don't understand why Amon didn't try to take over the entire elven realm.' Kai thought as he stepped forward with an expressionless face.
"Going to ask to let you go through? Not happening." Esralda said as Kai shook his head.
"I was going to ask you to fight ." He replied as Esralda was baffled.
"But that isn't how this is supposed to go! I read it in so many books and people like you always ask for such things. If you don't say that, the scene will not go according to the other books." Esralda complained as Kai internally smiled.
Even after reincarnation, Esralda was still a huge bookworm who loved to see the scenes from her books co to life.
"If you are not going to say that then I might as well outright kill you." Esralda said with a pout as her cultivation was released.
If not for Kai's powers protecting them, the group would have been brought to their knees by Esralda's aura.
"If that's what you want." Kai replied as he released his own aura and the two figures jumped at each other.
Can you find the aning of this na?",
