The Contract Is Fulfilled and Naslin's Final Effort / The Deal Between the Succubus Lord and the Necromancer
Because a large number of Undead Troops had been lost in the brutal clash with the Demon Legion under Soulbinder Demon Lord Isidor, the remaining Undead Troops had become markedly stronger and more elite.
For that very reason, the Undead Troops had miraculously completed their assembly before the Shadow Demon Lord's main force reached the outskirts of the city ruins.
Seeing that there was little to gain, the Shadow Demon Lord commanding the Demon Legion could not help but fall into deep hesitation and indecision.
Even now, the target he had come to rescue was nowhere to be seen.
Clearly, the Soulbinder Demon Lord had already fallen.
Under such circumstances, launching an attack against the fully assembled and battle-ready Undead Troops was no longer a wise decision.
Especially when his gaze fell upon the Undead Wizard standing atop the head of the Avatar of Death, scrutinizing him with icy eyes...
The Shadow Demon Lord's eyes flickered, and he ultimately chose to retreat.
Rather than risk a life-or-death battle against the Undead Wizard who had defeated the Soulbinder Demon Lord, the Demigod Rank Shadow Demon Lord believed it would be wiser to seek new opportunities in other Abyss Layers.
"It's over!"
As he watched the Shadow Demon Lord and the Demon Legion under his command gradually vanish beyond the horizon, a deep, ghostly gleam flashed through Moros's eyes.

For one thing, the Undead Wizard did not want Succubus Lord Nasrin to use this campaign as an opportunity to rise directly to become the Demon Lord of the 406th Abyss Layer.
Thus, he would never readily help her clear the obstacles in her path.
For another, by this stage of the campaign, Moros's mana reserves had actually reached a highly dangerous level.
