Back at the Royal Hall, everyone had a solemn expression, as a dreadful sensation filled everyone's heart. the body of a giant black-scaled spider slammed on the ground producing a loud thud, Several of its limbs were cut, and acidic green liquid was splattered here and there on the ground, producing sizzling sounds as it dissolved the Marble floor slowly,
On both sides lay the lifeless bodies of two similar spiders of a much smaller size, one of them was cut in half while the other small spider was producing a burned smell with a faint trail of black smoke rising from its corpse.
A few steps away the Second captain who used a giant sword, had a giant wound that stretched from his neck to his waist, There were multiple burned spots on his body from the acid.
For this battle even though it did not take more than five minutes all three captains had to participate, originally The captain with the great sword went and fought with the spider monster but was soon overwhelmed, At that point the third captain who used a spear joined the fight however it was then that the spider skreatched and called a number of smaller spider that came to back it up.
It was then that the first captain, Thomas toke action, with the three captain's working together they managed to defeat the spider monsters but still two of them received varying levels of injuries.
Waving his hand, a pill flew towards the second captain, and as the later received it he swallowed it without looking, moments later a red flush appeared on his face followed by a series of coughs where he coughed out a mouthful blood!.
" HAAAAH, this damn abominable venom, why is there a alive dark race beast in here! ", the second captain said after his state improved after taking a pill.
" We have to be more careful from now on, this ruin is more dangerous than we expected! ", Thomas said after he looked around at the injured members.
Suddenly Allen interjected " Thomas, see if you can communicate with others from the outside!, something doesn't feel right ", as Allen talked his expression was a bit grim, while the three captains were fighting he noticed a fact, he had lost his connection with the celestial body in the starry sky.
From the day Allen awakened the Nine Celestials physique he had established a connection with a celestial body that had the ability to enhance his soul to a higher rank once activated among other abilities, however even when not activated Allen would have a faint connection energy linking him with the celestial body, to sever such a link a sealing formation of a very high level is needed and according to the information the scouting team reported, this kingdom even at it's peak never had an existence even near to that level,
In the whole Myriad Dao realm only the Celestial empire's high ranking powerhouses and the Aeon family would have experts of such level,
While talking Allen's gaze was wondering around the hall, his eyes squinted as many thoughts ran through his head when his gaze fell on the spider's body Particularly on a spot in the center of it's head, his eyes froze as he said to the figure beside him " Remind me, how the Blood race tame their battle monsters.." his tone was serious with a hint if grimness.
When Charlotte hared Allen's words, she squinted as she followed his gaze while replying " The dark races in general use the same technique, they plant curses on infant monster that would force them to obey orders or suffer pain other..... ", amidst talking Charlotte suddenly stopped,
At that moment, Allen continued her word " And it leaves a mark like the one over there... " taking a breath he continued " Which means there is a Dark race expert stronger than the spider hiding somewhere around! ".
Allen and Charlotte's were not trying to hide their conversation , everyone could hear, the specialized experts, guards and captains. Slowly everyone's expression turned darker.
" There is no need to worry much, no matter how strong they are, we have trump cards ", while talking Thomas activated his storage artifact which summoned a thin long sword that looked like a katana, " Now that we suspect the possibility of Dark race remnants being alive in this ruins, our next action is to assess the danger and after-that either eliminate or leave with the least amount of losses if possible. ",
" Everyone stays vigilant, we will move in one group, captain Jhonas and I will guard the front, 1st team's vice-captain along with the second captain will protect the rear, two reaming team's vice-captain's will protect the right and left sides ", as Thomas spoke he looked at the second captain who was brandishing his silver spear and nodded in his direction, then did the same to the jhonas, followed sending multiple orders, the group soon continued moving forward cautiously.

Somewhere underground, above an ancient alter by the doing of incalculable power, space warped making a spatial gate that opened at an unknown location, moments after, grotesque, ferocious-looking monstrous creatures stepped one by one from the spatial gate,
In an orderly manner, they resembled trained troops as they stood in lines, quietly, After a period of time, men and women of various ages stepped out of the portal, wearing blood-red robes they exuded a dense stench of blood, with their especially white skin and thin and tall build, it was easy to recognize them as the leaders of the dark races, members of the Blood Race.
