Some didn’t want to believe her, their expressions turning cold.
Moreover, that person even attacked the trialist next to them a few seconds after voicing their opinion. They cut off the trialist’s head right off. After the man lost his head, he obviously couldn’t survive any longer. However, his soul was still not dead yet, expressing his rage.
Just then, something odd happened. When the person died, the coffin under their legs created some sort of mysterious energy. The energy restricted his body and mind, dragging him into the coffin.
Later on, the lid to the coffin closed on its own.
Splash!
The mud next to them seemed to be controlled by some type of law power, making it sink into the pit. In the blink of an eye, that person’s casket disappeared, but a tombstone somehow rose from the ground.
There seemed to be some words carved on it as well. ‘Here lies Benedict Marlenis, the disciple of Cloud Atlas clan from Galaxy Nova.’
In an instant, the people who saw this were insanely stunned. The rumors were true after all, those who died did have, in fact, turned into tombstones.
“That… She was telling the truth?”
“Would we end up like him too? Is there no way to survive?”
Everyone wanted an answer right there and then. They definitely didn’t want to just die in this realm. No one wanted that.
Shelly’s mysterious voice chimed into everyone’s ears again. She told them that they had to unite forces and defeat the emperor if they wanted to survive. However, first and foremost, they had to kill the Corpse King off.
Shelly could only speak to those trialists on top by inserting her divine consciousness into the tomb. Her methods were quite thorough, and even the emperor didn’t realize her tricks, despite controlling this entire realm.
“Kill the Corpse King?”
The Corpse King then died under the fists of numerous trialists.
“Yay!”
“Haha! Oh my, that was the Corpse King, yet he still died with our combined forces!”
“Then would it be any harder to defeat the Emperor of the Underworld? I feel like we could totally do that with our current condition!”
“Where’s the emperor, huh? Where is he? Has he run away like a little coward?” The crowd was starting to get hyped up. Some even shouted cockily.
Despite this, the emperor huffed coldly, “You peasants, how dare you speak such foolish words? I’m not even interested in flicking my fingers in your direction. One spit from me is enough to drown all of you. Got it?”
