Chapter 269: Chapter 136: The Specters Awaken, the Death Army of Hades Castle! (Part 1)

Boom!

A silent clap of thunder exploded on the soul level. In the summoning circle deep beneath Hades Castle, the pitch-black spatial rifts instantly expanded to their absolute limits.

The souls of countless Specters struggled within the fissures, attempting to break free from their restraints, yet their bodies remained imprisoned in place by invisible chains as they let out agonizing shrieks.

Far away at the Five Old Peaks, Dohko, who had been sitting in meditation before the great Lushan waterfall, suddenly narrowed his eyes, his expression turning solemn.

The Evil Star Tower behind him erupted with a blinding, golden sealing light. Countless streaks of purple-black aura seeped out from the surface of the tower, twisting and spiraling in the air like vengeful spirits breaking out of their cage.

"Oh no!"

Dohko abruptly stood up, his hands rapidly forming hand seals beneath his straw raincoat.

Over the past two hundred years, every decade, he had used talismans drawn with Athena’s divine blood, combining them with his own Cosmo to reinforce the tower’s seal.

At this moment, he pulled the final golden talisman from his robes. Gathering his Eighth Sense Cosmo in his palm, he prepared to forcefully suppress the violent anomaly occurring within the seal.

Just as the talisman was about to be slapped onto the tower, a calm voice suddenly drifted into his mind.

"Senior Dohko, there is no need to stop it. Just let nature take its course."

"Hmm? This voice is... Alex?"

Dohko narrowed his eyes, a trace of confusion appearing on his aged face.

"Do you know the consequences of doing this? Once the undead within the Evil Star Tower lose control, Hades’ army of death will return to this world!"

At the summit of the Sacred Mountain, Alex stood with his hands resting behind his back. His gaze pierced through space, looking in the direction of the Five Old Peaks as a faint smile touched the corners of his mouth.

"Of course!"

Dohko fell silent for a moment before suddenly chuckling and tucking the talisman back into his robes.

"What a formidable younger generation! Since you already have a foolproof plan, i will join you in your madness just this once!"

He stopped his sealing motion. The trembling of the Evil Star Tower grew increasingly violent, and the cracks on its surface rapidly expanded.

Finally, with a thunderous boom, the Evil Star Tower completely exploded. Countless undead spirits, wrapped in a purple-black aura, shot into the sky, swirling and screeching around Dohko.

"Asshole! You imprisoned us for over two hundred years! Now we are finally free!"

"You, your student, and that little girl will all die!"

"Just you wait! We will be back soon to slowly torture you to death!"

Dohko’s expression remained entirely unchanged. His golden Cosmo flared to life around him, forming a sturdy barrier that shielded both himself and Shunrei beside him.

The clamor of those undead spirits did not last long before an irresistible force seized them. Like dust being sucked into a vacuum, they were pulled down into the spatial fissures one after another.

In the very next second, they appeared in the summoning circle deep beneath Hades Castle.

Pandora’s summoning circle instantly burst with intense light. Eerie blue flames danced at the center of the array as the souls of the 108 Specters finally found their host bodies and returned through reincarnation!

The first to rush out of the rift was the Celestial Crying Star, Harpy Valentine. His massive frame smashed through the seal, a bloodstained chain mace resting on his shoulder. As his black wings beat, they stirred up a rancid wind of decay, every step he took causing the ground to tremble slightly.

Following closely behind him was the Celestial Sin Star, Lycaon Phlegyas. His Surplice looked like a walking torture device; the spike-covered armor gleamed with a cold light. Beneath his helmet, two crimson dots of light locked onto the void, his heavy footsteps echoing like a massive hammer striking the earth.
