Chapter 85: Chapter85-The Country Bumpkins Enter the City

Undead Race Territory.

The Undead Race, true to their name, possesses an incredibly tenacious vitality.

Perhaps “immortal” is an exaggeration, but as long as their strength is not far exceeded by their opponents, it is extremely difficult to fully kill them.

Because of this, the Undead Race tends to be arrogant and domineering.

“Prepare a gift, we’re going to Dalton Town.”

The Undead Race leader, Hardiman, immediately gave the order upon waking.

The Undead Race was indeed arrogant, but as their leader, Hardiman couldn’t afford to be.

Every decision he made was tied to the fate of the entire race.

One of the Undead Race members frowned upon hearing this.

“Leader, Dalton Town is powerful, but doesn’t this make it seem like we are showing weakness?”

Another member echoed.

“Yeah, Leader, we may not be able to defeat Dalton Town, but we certainly aren’t afraid of them!”

As soon as these words were spoken,

Slap! Slap!

Two sharp slaps rang out.

“Who is the leader here, you or me?!”

Hardiman snapped.

The two members covered their faces, feeling wronged.

“Y-yes, you are the leader.”

“Then hurry up and get ready!”

“Yes, yes!”

The two quickly fled the scene.

Hardiman looked toward Dalton Town, seemingly deep in thought.

He then turned his gaze elsewhere, a meaningful smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

Not long after,

a massive disturbance shook the Sakend plane!

In a vast area at the center of the plane, a vast and sacred aura suddenly filled the space.

Immediately after, three world-shaking anomalies appeared in three different directions.

These three locations formed a solid triangular region, resonating with one another.

“Finally, they have appeared.”

A voice whispered from somewhere in the plane…

Dalton.

Leo suddenly opened his eyes.

With a wave of his hand, a figure appeared before him.

It was Koro.

At this moment, Koro exuded an incredibly powerful aura.

He had actually broken through the Sanctuary boundary, reaching the Sanctuary Radiance rank!

Sanctuary, Sanctuary Radiance rank, Sanctuary Fire rank, Sanctuary Decree rank, Sanctuary Law rank, Sanctuary Sovereign rank, Sanctuary King rank, Sanctuary Lord rank, Supreme Sanctuary rank, Eternal Sanctuary rank, Authority rank.

Koro’s terrifying rate of advancement was unparalleled, both in the past and likely in the future.

“President!”

Upon seeing Leo, Koro immediately bowed in respect, showing no arrogance despite his breakthrough.

Leo nodded.

It had to be said,

since Leo had saved Koro, the young man had continuously surprised him.

“Koro, this time, the three human ruins are about to emerge. Your task is to assist in the shadows and ensure nothing goes wrong.”

Leo instructed.

“Understood.”

Koro nodded solemnly.

“Go ahead.”

Koro’s figure vanished in an instant.

Leo smiled slightly.

Koro’s breakthrough to Sanctuary Radiance rank in such a short time truly exceeded Leo’s expectations.

Now, Leo felt more at ease regarding Elarielle and the others’ safety.

The power of Sanctuary Radiance rank was more than sufficient to handle most situations in the current Sakend plane.

Leo could clearly sense that, aside from a few extremely special beings, there was no other presence above Sanctuary Radiance rank in the entire plane.

And those few special beings could do nothing against Koro, who possessed the Death Mark.

Just then,

Walter entered the main hall.

“President, two forces outside the city request an audience.”

Walter respectfully reported.

Leo smiled.

“Let them in.”

“Yes.”

Looking toward the city gates, Leo’s face showed a look of anticipation.

Outside the city gates.

“Heh, I didn’t expect your Divine Race to deign to come here.”

Hardiman, leader of the Undead Race, sneered at the Divine Race members.

Since ancient times, the two races had never been on good terms.

If it hadn’t been for the human race holding them back, they would have likely fought long ago.

Upon hearing Hardiman’s mockery, Felix, the leader of the Divine Race, snorted.

“What, only the Undead Race can come, but the Divine Race can’t?”

“Hahaha! Aren’t you Divine Race always proud of being the descendants of gods, looking down on all others?”

“Why are you so eager this time? Back when humanity was at its peak, we didn’t see you this enthusiastic.”

Hardiman continued to mock.

Before Felix could reply, a few of his Divine Race members behind him showed signs of anger and were ready to act.

Felix quickly raised his hand to stop them.

“Leader…”

Felix shook his head.

“Ignore them, don’t forget the reason we’re here.”

Hardiman sneered once more but said no more.

A verbal victory was enough. There was no need to escalate things into a physical conflict—both sides would lose in such a case.

Their gazes unconsciously turned toward the magnificent city ahead.

At that moment, their hearts were filled with waves of emotion.

They hadn’t expected a city to be so grand and solid!

The forbidden aura emanating from the city gates made their minds tremble slightly.

“Wait a minute, this city wall… it seems to be made of Starshine Divine Gold!”

One of the Divine Race members exclaimed.

Starshine Divine Gold!

An extremely rare and indestructible divine-grade material, one of the core materials for forging artifacts.

The Divine Race, after countless years of accumulation, had only a small stock left.

This city wall actually used it as an additive?

What a waste!

However, Felix’s pupils contracted, his voice tinged with disbelief.

“No! The entire wall is made of Starshine Divine Gold!”

“…!”

The scene fell into silence.

“This is impossible!!”

Hardiman shouted in disbelief.

It was Starshine Divine Gold, not some random stone!

Although he didn’t believe it with his words, his body involuntarily rushed to the wall and began to touch it.

“Th-this… it’s true! It really is Starshine Divine Gold!”

“The entire wall is made of it!”

Hardiman’s voice trembled.

Felix, standing nearby, looked extremely grim.

To craft a city using such an extravagant material—what kind of existence was the owner of this city?

Could they truly treat mythical treasures as if they were nothing?

But the next moment, Felix’s eyes widened as he stared at Hardiman, who, without warning, pulled out a city-breaking pick glowing with runes and raised it to strike the wall!

“By the light of the Holy!”

“Leader! Calm down! Stop!”

“Leader! Please calm down!”

Several Undead Race members rushed forward, grabbing Hardiman and pulling him away.

Losing face was one thing, but offending this clearly powerful Dalton would bring trouble…

To be honest, they had all been reluctant to come here at first.

But seeing that Dalton built its city using such divine-level materials, they now realized how terrifying Dalton truly was!

After a moment, Hardiman reluctantly regained his composure.

He looked at the wall made entirely of Starshine Divine Gold, his heart aching as if he couldn’t breathe.

Even if… even if he could just scrape off a small piece!

At that moment,

Walter appeared at the city gates.

“Gentlemen, the President requests your presence.”

Upon hearing this, everyone outside the city immediately turned their gaze toward Walter.

Divine Monarch rank.

In an instant, all their eyes sharpened.

This was truly Dalton Town, the most powerful force in the current plane.

Even a simple receptionist was a Divine Monarch rank powerhouse.

And they could clearly sense that, on the city walls, there was also a Divine Monarch rank powerhouse stationed!

Dalton was truly unfathomable!
