Chapter 1424 The Other Depraved Man’s Hand III



The magic circle that manifested below the chained up Depraved Man’s Hand Puppet created a sinister aura around it. The wind felt cold while the air felt stale as if the world suddenly became dry due to the powerful death energy emanating from it. A skeletal hand then came out of the magic circle and grasped at the Depraved Man’s Hand Puppet.

The Depraved Man’s Hand Puppet tried to get away by releasing miasma but all of it was just being absorbed by the magic circle and making it stronger. The skeletal hand slowly dragged the Depraved Man’s Hand Puppet below as the puppet screamed in agony.

The sounds of all the souls that were used as ingredients for the Corpse Legion (Jiangshi) suddenly manifested from the magic circle and dragged the Depraved Man’s Hand Puppet to the underworld. The souls were not just in the hundreds but actually in the thousands. It seems that a lot of lives was sacrificed in creating the perfect Corpse Legion monsters.

“Pay for you sins in the afterlife. Since your physical body is also going there, you will have such a great time.” Adrian stated as he stopped channeling mana into the magic circle once the Depraved Man’s Hand Puppet could no longer be seen.

[You have opened a Gate to the Underworld in a location that is not filled with Death Energy.]

[You will be penalized for doing so.]

[You have managed to seal the Depraved Man’s Hand which is a boon for the underworld. Your penalty will be lessened.]

[You can only recover 80% of your total health and total mana for a period of six days as parts of it will be used to maintain the stability of the mortal realm.]

Adrian already knew the consequences of what he did as he opened a gate to the underworld by himself. It would have been a different thing if he came to the underworld and dragged the Depraved Man’s Hand Puppet, but he cannot do so due to the level difference. The price he had to pay was health and mana stats for a certain duration.

Adrian did not mind the penalty as he could barely uses up all his mana and health in normal fights. He would still have the same damage output but he does need to be careful of any attacks that might come his way. The chance of him getting executed are higher since 20% of his health is missing for six days.

The missing health and mana that Adrian lost is actually a part of his soul that is being used by the mortal world to close off the Gate of the Underworld that he opened. If he was not careful then some souls could have escaped the gate as well. He did something that could have ended a lot worse but he managed to pull it off without any difficulties.

[Levin Cloud: We managed to subdue all the immortals that attacked the capital but all of them suddenly died or killed themselves when they were about to be questioned.]

[Equinox: I have sealed the Depraved Man’s Hand Puppet at the very least. I will return to pick you guys up.] .

Adrian answered Levin Cloud’s message and is about to leave when he suddenly looked behind him. He sent a wave of energy in front of him to see if there is any reaction but there was none. Seeing that he might have just been too worked up, he immediately teleported away from the area and returned to the imperial city.

“He almost caught us.” A female fox player stated as she took of the charm that she placed on his allies.

“To think that his senses are that extreme. I though demons are not that perceptive unless it is related to arcane energy?” A monk player who is clad in golden robes stated.

“He is just built different, I guess. We also arrived quite late and was not able to retrieve the Depraved Man’s Hand. Chiyou will not be glad of this outcome, but we did get the Kusanagi no Tsurugi from the imperial castle which is our real intention.” A player with an oni masked stated.

“It is such a pain that Princess Shini did not die though. Her barrier is such a pain to deal with that even the demigods are afraid of it. Are you not even mad, Tai? All the plans went sideways when those four entered the fray.” Vixen, the female fox player, stated.

“We should still be glad that we got what we really came here for. Killing off the princess was just an additional task should we get the opportunity.” Tama, the monk player, stated. .𝒎

“I mean her dying would make it easier for us to get inside the imperial castle. The plan was to have someone on the inside destroy the barrier completely and kill her off when she was weakened but we were not even able to do that. Plus, the seventh prince that is supposed to be weak and useless made the tortured souls we used for reconnaissance useless.” Vixen stated.

“I agree that not everything went according to plan but we got the sword. The mirror is no longer here but that was just a regalia that was added centuries after the first two. All that is left now is the jewel regalia called the Yasakani no Magatama. We searched all of the imperial castle but it is not there unlike what the reports stated.” Tai stated.

“I know right! The one in the imperial castle is actually a fake one. I thought it was the real deal, but it was just a replica. If we had that then we might have destroyed the entire imperial city.” Vixen stated.

“Even if we had that, we will not be able to do that because the Vermillion Bird suddenly appeared in the city. We would have been burnt to ashes if not for the relics that were given to us for protection against the four divine beasts.” Tama stated as he held out four figurines that represents the four divine beasts but the Vermillion Bird’s statue is already crumbled.
