Hearing there was a mission for them, Uncle Drew and the rest of the Night Riders beamed. Kent’s past incarnation as the Ruthless Bandit had met all 69 Night Riders, but only 6 of them lived with him inside the Tower.
Of course, he is aware that some of them are in Hell while others have returned to the Dark City. Kent planned on going for them one day. However, before going to them, he first needed to handle some missions in the world of the living.
Some of those missions would be given to his wives, but there was one that only the Night Riders could handle. It was a mission that would take them to a place only beings wielding Hell Flames could go.
"There is a planet in the Immortal Realm, located in the Western Region, called Dead World. This planet is only accessible to those who have an affinity for Death and can also wield Hell Flames.
Hidden within that place is a cave located in the Black Star Domain. According to many, that domain is home to a very powerful dragon known as the Black Fire Demon Dragon.
Many years ago, a group of suppressed gods tried to kill it, but they failed to even get close to it. The Black Star Domain is that dangerous. However, there is something I want there; when you see it, you will know.
But, to get to this item, you must first survive the wrath of the Black Fire Demon Dragon. This means you must kill it before you can obtain the item. Of course, if it were only the Black Star Domain, then it wouldn’t be a Hell Mission.
However, hidden somewhere in that place is a branch of the Soul Temple. I think we both know the kind of monsters they are, so you would have to be careful. Most importantly, you must ensure the item doesn’t fall into their hands.
Since you six are the only ones with the qualities to survive that place, I will leave this mission to you. And, of course, Uncle Drew will lead, and the rest of you will follow his mand to the last dot."
They nodded.
Just like Kaizo, the Night Riders listened to Uncle Drew since he was the Night Rider Captain. He snapped his fingers, and Nara, Saden, Elyndor, Vargus, and Lene walked forward.
Nara is one of Kent’s wives, but she was also a Night Rider.
This meant that when the captain called, she had to answer. Also, she had reached the Immortal King Stage, so Kent had no problem allowing her to join the team on this mission.
She was a swordswoman with absolute affinities for Hell Flame, Darkness, and Lightning. That bination was more than enough to make her one of the deadliest Night Riders despite her rank.
As for Lene, despite also joining the harem, she wouldn’t take no for an answer. Of course, she was a Demigod, so she was needed the most. She and Vargus were both Peak Demigods.
As for Saden, she had recently reached the Peak True Immortal Stage, but her arrows could easily kill gods. As a Hell Archer, her arrows were as deadly as they came.
Her Hell Eye skill allowed her to see the weakness of just about anyone. This enabled her to shoot with pinpoint accuracy.
Elyndor was perhaps the most powerful of them at the moment. He was a bat Mage with affinities for Hell Flame, Darkness, and Ice.
However, while he was called a mage, his core ability, Hell Summon, allowed him to summon Hell Demons from places like the Damned Hell Sea.
He had summoned five Demigod-level Hell Demons, each powerful enough that even the strongest members of the Beast Legion wondered if they could contend with them.
The reason he was the strongest at the moment was simply that, like the Beast Symbiosis or the Undead Bone that allows Kent to inherit a part of his legion’s power, Eryndor also inherits a portion of the power of his summons.
So, despite being a Peak True Immortal, his bat power had already reached the Demigod Stage.
As for Vargus, he was as deadly as they came.
His hammer would surely show its might against powerful creatures that packed the greatest punch. He was also a Demigod, so with him added to the mix, the Night Riders were anything but simple.

After walking through the Undead Gate, Kaizo and his team appeared in a valley somewhere in the Lower Undead Heaven.
All twelve, being the first twelve undead warriors Sanders had ever created, had finally returned to the place where it all began.
In the Undead Realm, there are several levels of worlds, just like in the main universe. The only difference is that, in the main universe, there are limitations on one’s cultivation base based on the world they are in, while the same is not true in the Undead Realm.
This means that even in the lowest heaven, Celestials can be found. However, it is still a place where mostly mortals live, with their rulers only at the Mortal Stage.
The moment they arrived, Kaizo spread his senses, and so did the others.
They all wanted to ensure they were safe before planning their next move. Kent hadn’t sent them to the Lower Heaven because it was the only place he could send them.
He did so to divert attention away from them. The higher one climbs in this realm, the more likely they are to be noticed, since stronger undead reside in the Medium, High, and subsequent heavens.
After a few seconds of making sure they were alone, Kaizo started to speak.
"We are here now, but we cannot travel together. I hope you all know why."
They nodded.
If twelve Demigods suddenly appeared in the Lower Undead Heaven, it would raise too much alarm.
So they had to split into smaller groups.
"Here is the plan. Since we can’t travel together, we will split into pairs and travel in different directions. Since we are connected, we must check in every few hours to ensure we are all okay.
The objective is to get to the High Undead Heaven, where even if all twelve of us move together, it wouldn’t raise suspicion. As for how you all manage to reach the High Heaven, I will let you e up with your own methods.
Now, I will divide the groups."
Kaizo split the teams into six groups of two members each.
"Zareth, you will travel with Velmora. Sylara will move with Morne. Elyndra, you are with Velithra. Vaelros will travel with Seraphyne. Varyn travels with Varkhiel, while I move with Selantra."
There was no objection to the group division. In the past, while they had all served as generals under the Bone Lich Emperor, Kaizo’s position had been superior to theirs, so they naturally respected his authority.
If Kent was not there, the next person in charge was always Kaizo.
"Be sure to remain in touch. If you need help, feel free to reach out to any of us. The endgame here is to recover the bones of the other undead generals and the Master’s treasure, so treat this mission as a high priority.
The first to arrive in the High Undead Heaven should find a good meeting spot for us. Also, limit the way you use the tower abilities. This realm is strange, so lets not draw the attention of the Undead Monarch"
The first team to depart was Elyndra and Velithra. They flew eastward and soon vanished beyond the horizon. The rest quickly followed, and before long, only Kaizo and Selantra remained.
"So, what next?" Selantra asked, spinning a dagger between her fingers.
"Let’s find the nearest city and make some money first. We must also understand the nature of the Undead Realm since it has been years since we were last here."
Selantra nodded, and the two soon moved westward.
Kaizo had spent a lot of time with Sanders in the past, so he knew that the first rule when finding oneself in an unfamiliar realm was to blend in. That would make gathering information much easier.
