God of Death's Resurrection

With the help of the Rule Brass Book, Hobart saw many spots of brilliant color within Calderon City. Those were likely members of the Underworld Faction.

Hobart "altered" his own location and instantly appeared beside one of the brilliant patches of color at Calderon's edge.

It was unclear whether that Underworld Faction member's body had mutated or whether he had simply discarded it. In any case, he looked no different from an ordinary Undead.

At that moment, he was wondering why he was glowing.

Hobart waved a hand at him, and the Underworld Faction member was immediately struck by an immense force, flung against the wall of a building. The force followed at once, pinning him tightly to the wall.

"What research is the Underworld Faction conducting in the City of the Dead?" Hobart asked.

The Underworld Faction member knew he had encountered an enemy. His expression remained indifferent, with no intention of answering.

Hobart did not force the issue. He "distorted" the last remaining state of "life" within him into "death," and the member truly became a corpse.

Hobart "used" the surrounding power of the City of the Dead to drag out his soul, completing the preparations for Spirit Communication.

He asked again, "What exactly are you researching?"

Bang! Just as the Undead was about to speak, it exploded on the spot! Hobart froze slightly. This was not an ability like Secrets Keeper; rather, the other party's spirit body was extremely fragile and could no longer withstand the strain of Spirit Communication.

Hobart frowned. Do I really have to investigate this myself?

He glanced again at the Undead marked by colors around him. Since the city's terrain was high around the edges and low in the middle, he could easily see the locations of the other Underworld Faction members.
