The Spirit Warriors had never seen a human who was personally escorted by Estelina.

At first, they thought that he was her friend. But when she told them to aim their weapons at him, that illusion was also broken. That man wasn't a friend, but he wasn't an enemy either.

What shocked them the most was that even with so many of them around him, he was still unaffected. Instead, he was threatening them in return.

'You are asking me, but who should I ask?' Ley thought, rubbing his forehead. He had the same question, but there was no way for him to get answers.

"Stop thinking about unnecessary things and get back to position. Don't forget the responsibility you hold!"

Ley turned his back on the portal while sending a signal, alerting all the family members who were in the hiding.

The signal made them know that there was nothing to worry about and that they could come out.

"Captain, it has been so long since we saw those intruders. Do you think they might have given up?" a spirit warrior asked.

"That is correct. They must have realized that it is impossible to get past our Captain!" another Spirit Warrior proudly answered.

"Maybe after some time, we might not be needed here at all."

"I hope that day isn't far. I can't wait to return to the Capital and live my life in retirement."

"Same here. When we aren't needed here anymore, the Spirit Realm will truly be at peace."

Ley heard the conversation of his subordinates and smiled. He really hoped that this was truly the case.

"When the day comes, I will give you all a drinks party!" he stated.

"Really?! Captain, you can't take it back!"

"Hahaha, I would make Captain spend so much money that he would regret promising this!"

"Hah. Captain must be regretting that promise already"

"Do you think your captain is so poor that he can't afford it?" Ley laughed. "Let me tell you, not just the drinks but I will pay for the food as well."

"All hail the captain!"

"Our captain is the best!"

"As expected of our captain!"

Ley knew that the future was uncertain. But he truly wished for this future to come true.

He wanted to see a future where his men didn't have to put their lives on the line. He wanted a future where these invaders stopped coming to their world.

If there was a future like that, it wasn't much to celebrate with his men. They had lived in the city for over a decade.

They fought together and they killed together. They even cried when they lost their friends in war with the invaders.

These men were his subordinates, but they were also like his family.

Unfortunately, he didn't have much time to think about the future as he was pulled back to reality.

"Captain!"

Ley and his subordinates were approaching the border wall when they heard the roar of a Spirit Warrior standing atop the border wall.

The alarm bell kept ringing again and again. One time... Two times... Ten times... It just kept on going like never before.

The Bell was a treasure of the Spirit Realm. And the number of times this bell rang was said to reveal the strength or the numbers of the invaders.

For as long as Ley had been staying in this place, he hadn't heard this many bells. His expressions grew pale as he thought about the implication.

"Activate the barrier!" He yelled while running towards the Border Wall.

He jumped high in the sky and landed atop the Border Wall. His expressions were grim as he watched the direction where the sun had started setting.

All he could see was a single person, but the setting sun behind that person made it hard to see his face. It was especially hard as the man was still over a hundred kilometers away from the Border Wall.

The person was too far to see clearly, but something didn't look normal about him. The ringing of the bell only intensified and became louder with each step the man took towards the City.

"Only one person? But that bell..."

The person who was approaching the city raised their right hand.

While Ley was looking at the man, he saw his surroundings brighten. He looked above, his expressions became even worse.

Above the city, a large magic circle formed that was as large as the city itself.

"This... can't be happening..." Ley looked at the Magic Circle in disbelief.

Around a hundred kilometers away from the border walls, a person was walking towards the city. He didn't appear to be in any hurry in the least.

Instead, he was laughing. While Ley couldn't see him properly, he was able to see Ley and even his expressions.

"That's right! That's the despair I want to see!"

His laughter echoed through the empty landscape as his robe fluttered behind him.

His black robe covered his entire body, but it didn't hide his face or his hands. In his hands, there was no flesh. He only had bones that made it look like he was nothing more than a skeleton.

Each of his skeletal fingers had a ring with an embedded gem, their purpose being unclear.

The only flesh anywhere in his visible body was on his face, but that made it even worse as his skin kept regenerating and destroying at the same time.

Despite that, he didn't care about hiding his face.

"Kek, The Tower Master always sent the weakest of the undead to train them. No wonder these people grew so arrogant. To think that they expected to stop me with just that one barrier..."

"With the opening of Hell's gate drawing near, there is no time to play. Let me teach you how useless your efforts are in front of the strength of the Necromancer Tower!"

He raised his hand.

"Inferno!"

That one word sounded like a demon's prophecy. As soon as the word was uttered, a magic circle appeared above the city and a flaming inferno fell upon the city.
