Chapter 98

As the allied forces were thrown to the evil spirits, Oto and his gang quickly dashed deep into the forest.

Although he was worried about his allies, there was nothing he could do.

It wouldn't make sense to fight the endlessly resurrecting evil spirits for thousands of years, would it?

"Strawberry! What's the plan!"

"What else! We need to find the armor! Only then can we resolve the situation!"

The key to the extermination of the Forest of Wraiths was to quickly find the <Soulbound Ghost Armor> and defeat the boss.

Thus, there was no need to get entangled with unnecessary minor enemies.

Of course, they needed allies to hold back those minor enemies, which was why they brought the elite forces of the Kuntachi Principality.

Thanks to the sacrifice of the Kuntachi Principality's elite forces, Oto and his gang were able to quickly penetrate deep into the forest.

'Damn. If I had just reached level 200, I wouldn't have had to go through all this trouble. What a pain.'

If he had the third power of the Invincible Emperor, it wouldn't take more than 30 minutes to exterminate the Forest of Wraiths.

Oto was deeply regretful that he had entered the Forest of Wraiths at this time.

But when you have no teeth, you have to chew with your gums.

'Can't be helped.'

Oto put his regret aside and continued to run.

"Avenging my grudge…"

"Living ones… come to the embrace of death…"

As they approached the location of the <Soulbound Ghost Armor>, even more powerful evil spirits appeared, blocking Oto and his gang.

"We have to fight our way through here!"

Oto shouted.

"I'll take the left side."

"I'll take the right."

With Oto at the center, Camille and Kairos spread out to form a triangular formation.

"I am the one who hates the living… I will not spare them…"

"Let's go… together… to the pit of death…"

"You will never leave alive…"

The high-level evil spirits were powerful.

Moreover, their numbers were overwhelming.

Even for Oto, Camille, and Kairos, breaking through was not easy.

However, Oto and his gang gradually pushed through, killing the evil spirits and advancing all the way to the large ancient tree where the <Soulbound Ghost Armor> lay.

'There it is.'

Oto's eyes lit up as he spotted the <Soulbound Ghost Armor> in the distance.

The <Soulbound Ghost Armor> was worn by a white skeleton leaning against the large ancient tree.

The armor had been naturally abandoned in the forest when its former owner died leaning against the tree.

"We're almost there! Just a little more!"

Just as Oto was shouting to Camille and Kairos,

"Die… die… die… die… die… die… die… die… die… die… die… die… die… die… die…."

"Will kill… will kill… will kill… will kill… will kill… will kill…."

Thousands of evil spirits appeared and swarmed Oto and his gang.

At that moment,

"You will not be able to approach His Majesty."

"How dare you oppose His Majesty."

"Those who harm His Majesty will not distinguish between the living and the dead."

Agato, Hildegarde, and Maximus appeared with hundreds of wraith knights, blocking the evil spirits.

The power contained in the <Soulbound Ghost Armor> was not only giving strength to the evil spirits but also to Kairos' old comrades, inadvertently creating a team kill situation.

"Can you handle this?"

Oto turned to Kairos.

"You're not alone."

"Not alone…."

Kairos smiled as he looked at his old comrades surrounding him.

"Go, Strawberry. I'll take care of this."

"Okay."

Thus, Oto entrusted the rear to Kairos and was able to get closer to the <Soulbound Ghost Armor>.

Why?

Because Kairos and his old comrades would block the swarming evil spirits.

* * *

Kairos and the wraith knights engaged in a fierce battle against the swarming evil spirits.

Although Kairos and the wraith knights were more skilled, the overwhelming number of evil spirits made the battle evenly matched.

However, Kairos was not at all tired.

Heh!

Kairos laughed, thoroughly enjoying himself.

"What are you doing! Sweep them all away! Kill them as soon as they resurrect! Hahaha!"

Long ago.

That time came to mind.

Before Kairos established the empire and ascended to the throne.

When he was still the leader of a large mercenary group and a warlord, he would always fight alongside his comrades on the battlefield.

Of course, at that time, Kairos' military power was not at the level to be considered the strongest on the continent, so he wasn't that strong.

He was just one of the countless warlords who appeared in the chaotic era.

But that was the most pleasant, fun, happy, and romantic time in Kairos' life.

Even though he wasn't an incredibly powerful warrior, the time he spent roaming the continent with his comrades, laughing and crying together, was the most enjoyable.

Of course, he didn't realize that at the time…

"Your Majesty! I'll block them here!"

"I'll kill them all!"

"Anyone who dares to attack our Majesty will have their skulls crushed!"

Thus, Kairos enjoyed the time fighting alongside his old comrades from his mercenary days.

'I should buy Strawberry a drink.'

Kairos was genuinely grateful to Oto.

He thought he would never meet him again.

And he thought he would never fight alongside him again.

But after hundreds of years, they met again and fought together…

It was a very happy time for Kairos, bringing back old memories.

* * *

Finally, Oto and Camille arrived at the location of the <Soulbound Ghost Armor>.

However, the actual ruler of the forest and his followers, the evil spirits, blocked their path.
