The bones landed at the bottom of the pit with a crisp, echoing clatter. I watched in silence. As expected, in just a few minutes, the white bones began to stain black, and then Yuna Ji threw another pile of corpses down.
In a short time, the white bones turned completely black, then slowly reassembled into skeletons and stood up.
Yuna Ji looked in confusion at the shattered corpse of the lost soul behind her. It had broken into many pieces, but already those fragments were slowly merging together again.
"It doesn’t look that easy,"
A look of ecstatic excitement flashed in Yuna Ji’s eyes. She seemed to have made up her mind—not to waste time on pointless, tedious drills, but to focus intensely on fusing souls and bones completely.
I watched Yuna Ji quietly, thinking carefully: If I ever had to fight her, how could I possibly win against such a vast army? The answer was—I couldn’t. She could become any one of her countless soldiers; her true self was impossible to capture. And most importantly, her Nine Generals were all terrifyingly powerful.
Yuna Ji could easily hide herself, letting her army launch endless attacks. Even if I could crush these skeletons, there was no way to win instantly.
It would only turn into a bitter struggle, and in the end, as my strength dwindled, I’d be utterly defeated. I gazed at The Wraithlord in silence. He had once said that his defeat came when his power weakened—then the gods seized their chance, splitting his three souls and seven spirits, sealing each away separately.
"Someone who could drain your strength—other than those two Ethan Zhangs, I doubt there’s a third in this world, right?"
The Wraithlord shook his head.
"That guy is called Tan Tian—you should know him. In ancient times, he was known as the Corpse Ancestor."
I stared in shock, never expecting Tan Tian to have faced The Wraithlord head-on. But thinking about it, he really is the strongest in this world—though his only goal has always been to regain emotion.
No wonder he’s so powerful.
I watched The Wraithlord quietly; a hint of joy appeared on his face.
"If your three souls reunite, do you plan to fight him again?"
I asked, and The Wraithlord smiled.
Tan Tian might be my greatest enemy once my three souls and seven spirits are reunited, but even then, he’s no match for me.
After a while, the lost soul’s corpse on the ground reassembled. The black skeleton beneath began to lose its darkness, and soon, the lost soul would be revived.
"Where is this?"
The newly revived lost soul stared in shock at the smiling Yuna Ji. Yuna Ji said nothing, once again summoning the black skeleton.
