Chapter 1485 Opportunistic Hidden Powers
All the skills that Charon got was perfectly made to aid any ally in battle. Charon has basically turned into a crowd control monster of epic proportions. With just the passive alone, Charon could stun hordes of enemies as long as they are affected by the chains for a period of time.
"Should we try it?" Adrian asked.
"Where will we try it?" Creepysoo asked.
"I thought Charon is still consolidating all that energy?" Levin Cloud asked.
"Charon needs to let loose as well since too much energy needs to be released sometimes. The fact that there are some people wanting to get to Charon earlier worries me. They can be the perfect guinea pigs and they will not die easily." Adrian stated as his eyes glinted with a devious idea.
"Can we even go?" Peridot asked as she could feel that the undead knights were keeping those beings that came near the undead citadel at bay.
"There should not be a problem, right?" Adrian asked the Undead King Arthur.
"Of course. As long as I am here, you can go wild as much as you want but do not kill them. I only sent my undead knights there to teach them a lesson that they cannot enter our territory without our permission." The Undead King Arthur stated.
The powerful pulse of energy that Charon released attracted the attention of all the hidden powers in the central continent. Some immediately gave up when they learned that the source of the energy came from the undead citadel while some tested their luck. The ones that tested their luck are those that have just gotten to the bottleneck before becoming a demigod.
Du\'an is currently making sure that no one can escape the area once they enter, and he would only let those beings escape when they are thought their lesson. If someone can break through Du\'an\'s spatial manipulation, then it would either be a Daemos or a being so powerful that they can use brute force to break space itself.

There are currently three beings that wanted to try their luck to get the source of the powerful energy. All of them had humanoid forms but they are clearly not human in any sense when one looks at them. They are monsters that have attained great intelligence and is able to turn into human form due to their strength.
One might think that monsters turning into human form might be too much of a weakness since they will be limited to that form but that is not true all the time. If a weak monster were to have a skill that can make them shapeshift into human form, then they will turn into a human but that is not the case for enlightened monsters.
Enlightened monsters are monsters that have gained intelligence and strength to the point that they could transcend their own bodies. They usually take on human form in order to hide in plain sight or to get resources needed for their next evolutions. Unlike shapeshifting, the enlightened consider this human form another form which means they still have their strength that they have in their real form.
The three monsters that dared to trespass inside the undead citadel were newly mythical evolved monsters that live near it. These monsters are called titles as they have actually created an army of monsters under them. In fact, the area outside the undead citadel is sprawling with monsters as they thrive there.
The undead do not need to eat which is why they do not hunt too many monsters for consumption. This made the ecosystem near the undead citadel be great for monsters unlike areas near large cities where there is culling of monsters. The monsters also stay away from the undead because they cannot gain anything from defeating them as they will just revive again.
The three monsters that came to the Undead Citadel are the leaders of different factions that control rats, bats, and hyenas. They look human on the outside, but they have the ferocity and the power of a monster. Adrian and the others showed up to see the ones brave enough to go to the undead citadel.
Adrian looked at them and noticed that the souls of the three did not look human at all. The small man that looked like a child or a teen had the soul of a rat with a large crown on top of its head. The woman that wore a black and red dress had the soul of a bat. The last one, which is a man, had the soul of a hyena.
The Undead Knights Cruz, Valar and Babel were fighting them, but it was clear that they were not even having a difficult time. If undead under the Undead King Arthur fight in the Undead Citadel, then they are basically guaranteed bonus stats. Even if they destroy the undead in the undead citadel, the undead will just respawn right away because of the covenant with the God of Death Abaddon.
"They are either dumb or new to this. I vote the latter." Creepysoo stated as he knew why no one gets near the undead citadel unless they have powerful holy magic.
"Based on their smell, they are just newly evolved mythical monsters. Perhaps a year at most." Peridot stated which made all of them look at her.
"You can discern that?" Levin Cloud asked.
"I cannot see souls like you or Equinox. I have to have other means of classification as you guys thought me that lots of things can be hidden in plain sight." Peridot stated.
"Anyways! Will you need our aid in this fight?" Creepysoo asked.
"Let Charon handle them. I want to see how powerful my newly evolved soulbound could be." Adrian replied as all of them nodded and decided to enjoy the show.
"Greetings, trespassers. By order of me, I shall teach you a lesson on why you must never trespass on undead grounds." Adrian stated which made the fight of the three monsters with the undead knights stop.
