"Nine corpses..."
Luo Zhen stared fixedly at the fairy-like girls lying in those coffins, each one looking exactly the same, his eyes flickering.
Although he had expected it long ago, after confirming that Zaharias had collected nine vessels in total and recovered all nine of the Fourth True Ancestor's Beast Vassals, Luo Zhen still couldn't help showing a slightly solemn expression.
Now, of the twelve coffins, only three were empty.
Number Six.
Number Ten.
And Number Twelve, represented by Aurora.
With only three vessels missing, Zaharias would be able to gather all of the Fourth True Ancestor's power.
"'Blazing Night Lord'..."
Aurora, held in Luo Zhen's arms, looked at the vessels in the coffins and likewise displayed an indescribable agitation.
After all, this was Aurora's first time seeing vessels other than herself.
Under such circumstances, suddenly seeing nearly ten girls who looked exactly like her lying in the coffins like corpses, completely motionless, made it impossible for Aurora not to be shaken.
However, Aurora failed to notice one thing.
That was...
"Their magical power has skyrocketed."
That was right.
The magical power of those vessels had skyrocketed.
Just like Aurora's magical power had suddenly grown stronger, each vessel in Luo Zhen's eyes was likewise filled with powerful magic that it had never possessed before.
Zaharias stood before the coffins and gave Luo Zhen, who had landed on the ground, an affected bow.
"I'm terribly sorry for coming uninvited, but I judged that it was about time to return to Kageno Island again. I was just preparing to send you an invitation to the banquet after some time. I never expected you to be even more eager than I imagined. How delightful."
Zaharias kept smiling amiably as he spoke. He looked extremely friendly, yet an unreal sense of dissonance constantly rippled
