Compared to his timid departure, Ikedamatsu now seemed possessed, rushing back with bloodshot eyes towards Okalis. (Google search reading)

"Ikeda Matsu!"

Okalis hadn't forgotten the pain he suffered from the psionic parasites. Now that he saw the culprit, he was naturally furious. His armor changed, with a focus on strengthening the rear armor, and he charged forward, wielding his scepter.

In their previous encounters, Ikeda Matsu had never gained the upper hand against Okalis, and was mostly on the defensive, only able to rely on his agility and skills to maneuver around him.

But this time, facing the enraged Okalis, Ikedamatsu did not dodge or evade, but instead charged head-on with a desperate spirit!

This display of power made Okalis a little uneasy. This guy was going to such lengths; could he have some hidden trump card? Even more insidious than that psionic parasite?

With this in mind, Okalis became much more cautious, holding back half of his strength when he made his move, and constantly on guard against any potential dangers lurking around him.

The weaker one fought with his life on the line, while the stronger one was cautious and timid. This made the originally unequal battle surprisingly even, with both sides exchanging blows and the outcome difficult to determine for a time.

The strongest of the Okalis was tied down, giving the Shen clan a chance to breathe. Francis couldn't understand why Ikeda Matsu had returned, but it was always a good thing that he was there to help.

By this time, his condition had improved considerably thanks to the team doctor's treatment, and he was able to pick up his weapon again and rejoin the battle.

The battle reached a brief stalemate, but it didn't last long.

Not daring to act rashly, Okalis called for help from several other team members. With numbers against one, Ikeda Matsu couldn't handle it no matter how hard he tried and was quickly subdued. After confirming that the opponent didn't have any trump cards, Okalis struck Ikeda Matsu on the head with his scepter!

This strike activated the scepter's inherent skill; the powerful shockwave bypassed the shield and damaged Ikeda Matsu's skull and nervous system from the inside, silencing the madman completely.

As Matsu Ikeda lay dying, in the final moments of his life, his still-functioning mind flashed through a series of images.

After parting ways with Francis and the others, he rushed back to the scene of the previous battle and saw the bodies of his comrades.

He was already mentally prepared for this scene. In that situation, escaping was only a matter of luck, and most people were bound to die here. He only hoped that the person he cared about most was not among these corpses.

There has been no response to previous attempts to contact him. Maybe he went too far, or maybe he blocked the signal. In any case, he couldn't have died here!

But in the end, he found the body.

The tall, robust corpse, dressed in a white suit, had a grotesque face. Its brain had been ripped out, and blood mixed with brain matter flowed from its ears, congealing into a red and white paste.

"Hanagata Komori" Matsu Ikeda almost collapsed to the ground. He picked up Hanagata's body and shed tears.

"I ran away in the end, just like I did more than 20 years ago."

The scene flashes back to many years ago, when young Matsu Ikeda had premarital sex, resulting in his girlfriend becoming pregnant.

At the time, he was still a college student and naturally couldn't bear such a heavy responsibility. He asked his girlfriend to abort the child, but she refused. He then threatened and intimidated her, and even became violent. His attitude disheartened his girlfriend, and she left without a word, disappearing from his life forever.

Matsu Ikeda originally thought that his girlfriend had aborted the child and that the matter was over. However, many years later, by chance, he learned that his girlfriend had passed away from illness, leaving behind only a child.

After making inquiries, it was discovered that his girlfriend had never married, and the child was born when she was young. No one knew who the father was, so the child took the mother's surname and was named Hanagata Mori.

Since then, he has always taken good care of Hanagata, but the boy was naturally tall and strong, and had a fierce and aggressive personality. In a street fight, he was stabbed multiple times in the abdomen and was in critical condition.

At the critical moment, Matsu Ikeda arrived, but it was too late to save him. He could only use a special tool to recruit him into the altar to prolong his life.

Ikeda Matsu had never told anyone about Hanagata's background. Even Hanagata himself only regarded Ikeda Matsu as a kind older brother who took care of him and did not know the true relationship between the two.

Matsu Ikeda dared not speak of it. He believed that his past reluctance to take responsibility had ruined his girlfriend's life, and also Hanagata Mori's. He was afraid to face the version of himself who had abandoned his girlfriend.

He originally thought that, by virtue of his status as the master of the Nineteenth Altar, he could properly make amends to Hanagata and his child.

But even when faced with the siege of the Si tribe and the danger to his life, he still fled.

When he fled, he only had his own life and property on his mind and completely forgot about the safety of his son.

Matsu Ikeda's pain was not just the grief of losing his son, but more so, resentment towards his own cowardice!

"In the end, I was still a coward. If I had been braver back then, and had bought even a little bit of time, Komori, with his abilities, might have been able to escape."

"Why am I so useless?"

Self-blame and regret intertwined in his muddled mind, and in the last moment of his life, Ikeda Matsu suddenly burst out with powerful energy!

"That's it!" Matsumoto Fumino turned her head and looked, her eyes filled with fear.

"What's wrong?" Yue Xinyi asked curiously from the side.

"Resentment!" Matsumoto Fumino's teeth chattered. "A massive amount of resentment! I've never seen such terrifying resentment before!"

Soon, not only the psychic but also the other heroes noticed something was wrong. Ikeda Matsu's body, which should have been dead, suddenly began to twist and deform. Spider-like long legs burst out of his body, and billows of black gas spewed out. In a short time, this hero who had just died turned into a huge, twisted monster.

"What is that?" Old Mo's legs went weak at the sight. It wasn't cowardice, but the terrifying aura emanating from the monster could affect anyone who wasn't strong enough to withstand it.

"It's a vengeful ghost!" Matsumoto Fumino gritted his teeth and said, "Ikeda Matsu must have originally possessed spiritual power enhancements. This time, after being killed, the intense resentment in his heart combined with his spiritual power and was released, turning him into a terrifying vengeful ghost!"

"The strength of a vengeful ghost is mainly influenced by its strength and the magnitude of its resentment in life. Generally, hero-level reincarnators have extremely high attributes and relatively stable spirits, making it difficult for them to transform after death. This is the first time I've seen the altar master transformed into a vengeful ghost. This is definitely not comparable to an ordinary vengeful ghost. Just how powerful must it be!"

"die!!!!!!"

Having transformed into a vengeful ghost, Ikeda Matsu had completely lost his mind, indiscriminately unleashing terrifying spiritual energy that instantly enveloped the entire battlefield. Even the inhabitants of the underground city were not spared, and large numbers of them began to faint and go into shock.
