In the middle of the night, Alion rushed inside the Soul Land. However, as soon as he passed through the boundary of the Soul Land to enter it, he felt as if he had entered apletely new world.


    The entire ce was surrounded in a strange yet cold mist, that came up to his waist. The mist didn''t make it difficult for him to locate where he was going. However, it made it impossible for him to see the ground!


    It was even worse that the entire surrounding was so cold that it was making his soul tremble. He felt as if he was going to be frozen to death in the Soul Land if he wasn''t fast!


    The Soul Land was like apletely different world from the Nether Realm, despite being connected. Even the sky couldn''t be seen in that ce.


    "It looks like it''ll be harder to find the Souls than I initially thought."


    Despite the unfamiliar surroundings, Alion kept moving forward, carefully taking each step so as to not fall since he couldn''t see the ground.


    He didn''t want to identally fall off a cliff without even realizing it.


    Fortunately, the ground was more or less normal. There weren''t any cliffs so far... At least none that he fell into.


    He could only asionally hear cracking sounds with his footsteps, as if he was stepping on bones or skulls of people who had died here. However, he wasn''t sure if it was actually bones or just his misconception. It was the first time he had to rely only on his senses instead of his eyes to move forward.

    Back in the Forbidden Land, Gabriel had finally stopped walking. He finally reached the middle of the ancient battlefield, where true gods were said to have fallen.


    In fact, one could only imagine the level of battle that took ce. Even with his all, Gabriel didn''t know if he could''ve survived a battle like that if he was there.


    The level of battle was certainly beyondprehension. If it wasn''t, there was no way it would''ve changed the Nether Realm forever,pletely eliminating Spiritual Elements from the atmosphere.


    At the moment, he stood before a skeleton, observing it. However, the skeleton was so huge that it was impossible to see it entirely in a short time. The skeleton appeared to belong to a being who was at least ten thousand feet tall! Just a single bone in that skeleton was thicker than Gabriel''s entire body.


    Moreover, those bones were not ordinary either. Even though over a million years had passed since the Ancient Battle, the bones were stillpletely intact!


    If it wasn''t for the fact that the skeleton was impossible to move, the three great ns would''ve tried anything to take it with them, especially the Undead n.


    The bones of the ancient being had many strange golden symbols that were brimming with power. Gabriel couldn''t help but feel that those symbols were out of the ordinary. It was as if the mystery behind those symbols was the key to his evolution.


    Even if he couldn''t find the true origin of those symbols, he could still try to bring that ancient being back to life as an Undead after leaving the Nether Realm.<novelnext></novelnext>


    No matter what, he couldn''t attempt that here. Even in the outside World, it was an almost impossible task, let alone this ce where his strength was quite limited.


    Fortunately, unlike the Three Great ns, he didn''t have to worry about how to move the skeleton. Even if others couldn''t do it, it was easy for him, although somewhat exhausting.


    He stepped a few meters back before raising his right hand. The Forbidden Book of Necromancy came out of his body. Its pages started flipping on their own until thest page was opened!


    The Holy Grimoire floated high in the sky while thest page faced the skeleton! The page shone brightly, illuminating the entire skeleton with its bright light!


    The strange golden symbols resisting the light of the Forbidden Book, as if they were something that defied thews of space and were impossible to subdue. However, since the skeleton wasrge and there weren''t too many such symbols, the resistance didn''tst for long!


    Even though it took half an hour andplete focus of Gabriel, the Skeleton did finally disappear, turning into small specks of light before entering Gabriel''s Grimoire!


    As the Skeleton disappeared, only a deep crater was left behind, which made it appear as if an asteroid had fallen to this ce a long time ago.


    Gabriel sat on the ground after seeding. He couldn''t help but feel exhausted. He had really underestimated the giant skeleton. Keeping the Skeleton in his Forbidden Book exhausted him almost as much as a World Level Spell should''ve exhausted him, leaving only a small reserve for him.


    "This was harder than I expected."


    He remained seated on the ground, calming his breath while looking at his left hand. He only had ten percent of his reserves left, which made him wonder if it was going to be enough.


    However, in the end, he shook his head. "It looks like this won''t be enough. Looks like I''ll have toe to this Battlefield once again in the future to finish this matter..."


    At best, he had thought that he would''ve been left with thirty or forty percent of his spiritual reserves. However, the strange symbols were really different. He had never seen them before, but he could feel the mystery behind them was extraordinary!


    Moreover, he was also convinced that the skeleton also belonged to the ancient being who had chased the Blood Ancestor to this Battlefield!


    The reason the Nether Realm was destroyed was that a True God called Blood Ancestor was chased to this ce by other ancient beings. In the end, the Blood Ancestor died and passed his inheritance to the humans who became the Blood n in the future.


    However, Gabriel was more than convinced that the death of the Blood Ancestor was more or less rted to the ancient skeleton! It was the owner of the skeleton who truly fought with the Blood Ancestor. It was the aftermath of their battle that left the Nether Realm in ruins.


    "If I''m not wrong, both the Blood Ancestor and the owner of that Skeleton died in that battle. The owner of the skeleton still had his skeleton left along with those symbols. As for the Blood Ancestor, only two blood drops of his were left behind in the ancient battlefield."


    "One of those drops was taken by the Blood n. The second drop was absorbed by the battlefield... If only I can get that before I leave…"
