I'm sweating bullets! After posting so many bonus updates in a row, I, Shadow, got all muddled and actually posted the wrong one! Thankfully, reader "A Fatty" pointed it out, and I corrected it in time! I'm very sorry!!!

Clearly, if this continued, it wouldn't be long before both the Nine Chapters Law and the Maha Prayer Beads were shattered by the ancient corpse horde. They could only protect everyone for a time; sooner or later, death still
