This necromancer is going to seduce the beautiful girls who are already dead.

With that, the chief mage shut down the communication, and the image displayed on the mirror disappeared.

The elder who had just been choked was now coughing.

The Chief Mage is enraged! The Council's most powerful force is about to be deployed!

The elders realized that the contest between the council and the necromancer from the continent was about to truly begin.

Chapter 322 The Abyss is Too Much

“Now, the three Venerables have finally made their move…” an elder said in a trembling voice after a moment of silence.

You could tell he was very excited.

And that's certainly true. All the elders are in a very good mood right now, including even that unlucky guy who just got his neck choked by the chief mage.

With the three Venerables taking action, it must be the mobilization of the strongest force of the Council of the Dead. Moreover, not only that, the three Venerables will likely also summon the Lord of Delusion.

The elders have the authority to know who the Three Venerables' current partners are, why the Lord of Delusion came to the Council of the Dead, and what kind of deal he made with the Council of the Dead. They know the general outline of these things.

With the power of such a powerful mage as the Three Venerables, plus the support from an evil god, finding the Abyss is no longer a pipe dream.

Just like a child who has been bullied by other children and has found his tall and strong cousin to stand up for him, the elders are in an exceptionally good mood right now.

Abyss, weren't you so arrogant? Now I'll show you the true power of the Council of the Dead!

Once your hiding place is found, the three venerable ones will launch a merciless attack on you.

No matter how well you master necromancy, it can never be as rich and varied as that of the Three Venerables.

No matter how rich your combat experience is, you can't possibly defeat the Three Venerables who have lived for over a thousand years.

Even with unparalleled magic, you will be powerless against the intervention of an evil god.

Abyss, your end is nigh!

“We can’t just sit idly by. Based on the speculation from the Lord of Delusion that the Three Venerables provided us, Abyss has now disguised himself as a member of a council. We should start investigating the inside as soon as possible,” an elder said.

“Very well, then shall we begin to discuss how to proceed?” another elder asked. “I suggest we start with an investigation of the senior councilors.”

“No, I think we should start the investigation with the mid-level members of parliament. It’s very likely that Abis has just infiltrated the parliament.”

"Why not investigate among us first? Aren't there any Abyss in disguise among us?"

"That makes sense...me too..."

thump!

An elder was agreeing with the idea of ​​the previous elder when suddenly his body stiffened, as if an arrow had pierced his brain, and he fell straight down.

"Ah!?" The elders were startled by this sudden and unusual situation.

Following the elder who suddenly collapsed, another elder also jerked up and fell to the ground as well.

thump! thump!

Then, the other two elders did the same thing.

In just a few seconds, there were already four elders on the ground, looking like dead fish.

"What's going on!" The remaining three elders were terrified. They looked at each other, realizing that they hadn't fallen down with them.

Soon, they discovered what the people lying on the ground had in common.

Aren't those four of them the ones who went out to protect the exchange? The ones lying on the ground now are all clones they controlled remotely.

If the clone suddenly collapses, it must be because the original body controlling the clone has lost control.

The four of them are currently outside...

“That damned Abyss! His operation isn’t over yet!” an elder shouted hoarsely.

Yes, the three of them already know what happened.

Abis's actions didn't end with looting and vandalizing the stock exchange and the homes of some senior councilors; he even kidnapped four elders who were outside!

The four who fell to the ground were originally on their way back, but they were intercepted and imprisoned in Abyss's world!

Good heavens! How long is this Abyss going to keep causing trouble?!

The three elders looked at their colleague's clone lying on the ground, and they were all on the verge of tears.

It's never going to end! The powerful Undead Council, which they have always been so proud of, is like a lump of dough that can be kneaded and flattened at will in the hands of the Abyss!

But now, no matter how aggrieved or afraid they are, they dare not tell the chief mage anymore.

The chief mage certainly won't show them any mercy, and might even kill all three of them out of disappointment!

The Three Venerables possess the highest authority in the Council of the Dead. They have indeed killed elders in history, and those elders who were killed did not even have a chance to be resurrected!

"What should we do? What should we do?" one elder asked anxiously, grabbing another elder beside him.

He has completely lost the elegance and composure befitting someone in a high position; instead, he resembles a terrified villager.

"What else can we do?" The colleague he had been pulled back looked at him with a face full of resentment. "We can't beat that Abyss! Didn't you see that the four of them didn't even have a chance to fight back? Just bear with it!"

"Wait for the three Venerables to make their move! We will definitely win! We will definitely win!" Another elder slammed his fist on the table, repeating the same phrase over and over as if hypnotizing himself.

……

The Grey Elves truly live up to their reputation as the most intelligent and capable race among the elves. Thanks to their meticulous preparations, they are extremely efficient. The new residents of Iris City have already been assigned to their new homes, and the move-in process is proceeding smoothly.

After the Abyss had entertained the former slaves and invited Helheim's local god, Gaja, to give a speech to the newcomers, he left.

When he returned and stood before his retinue, he was carrying four bewildered elders.

"So these are the elders of the Council of the Dead?"

Abyss looked at the four people who had been stripped of their magical abilities, chin in hand, scrutinizing them as if they were animals in a zoo.

"I feel like your strength has really improved a lot. Did those four fight back?" Rebecca asked Abyss with a smile as he brushed the dust off his hands.

“My strength has indeed improved a lot—as for fighting back, they are not qualified to fight back.” Abyss shrugged. “They are indeed very powerful people, but they do not have divine power. Their strength is not even as good as Bishop Dalan, the first high-ranking member of the Council of the Dead I met.”

“No divine power, no wonder.” Leona nodded. “That’s too weak. It was the right decision not to go with you, otherwise we would definitely have been disappointed.”

The four elders sitting on the ground still had no idea what had happened.

After learning of their failure, they set off for the elders' meeting place. However, on the way, while flying, they suddenly felt their magic power being sealed, and then they saw a spatial rift suddenly open in front of them.

Immediately afterwards, they arrived in this place they had never seen before, under the Abyss's control.

All of this happened so fast that by the time they thought about fighting back, they were already prisoners of war.

One of the elders almost burst into tears.

In the blink of an eye, I went from being a esteemed elder of the Council of the Dead to a prisoner of the Abyss. This is too much of a bullying!

Was all that years of training and research just a lie? How come I have absolutely no ability to resist this Abyss?

Chapter 323 The Restriction in the Elder's Soul

"Abyss! You bastard!"

An elder sitting on the ground spoke fiercely to Abyss.

His hands were bound, and his body was shackled with magic-suppressing chains. Moreover, his body was enveloped in Abyssal magic. Even as a seasoned Sorcerer Supreme, he was now powerless to resist.

Knowing he couldn't escape, the elder could only threaten Abyss with his eyes.

Abis, of course, wasn't bothered by the glare he received from the prisoner he had captured. He smiled, shrugged, and said:

"Excuse me, but I don't think capturing a couple of prisoners during a war is anything despicable."

"You launched a war without declaring war!" another elder roared.

“Our war started long ago, and you should have realized long ago that there is no possibility of reconciliation between us.”

Abis shook his head.

From the moment Bishop Dalan arrived in Golden Griffin City upon hearing the news, fought a battle with Abyss, Leona, and Flora, and was eliminated, Abyss knew that he had to eradicate the Council of the Dead.

At the time, however, he was unaware that the Council of the Dead had such a strong foundation that even the Abyss had to investigate it before taking any action.

"There's no need for you to be angry. I captured you for two reasons: first, to use you as hostages to exchange for something if necessary; and second, I want the information in your minds. I need to know the details of the cooperation between the Three Venerables and the Lord of Delusion. Getting angry now won't help. If you get too angry, I might even give you two bottles of 'anger-relieving' potions—they're quite effective."

Abyss continued speaking to the four elders sitting on the ground.

"Release us at once! Do you want to face the wrath of the Three Venerables? Are you prepared to die a violent death by treating the elders of the Council of the Dead like this?"

Abyss's words were indeed frightening, and the four elders immediately felt a strong sense of crisis. One elder, though outwardly fierce, angrily berated Abyss.

"You can mess with other people without consequence, but if you mess with us elders, the Three Venerables will really be angry!"

Another elder quickly added.

"Oh, really? Take him away."

Abyss tilted his head and looked at the four elders, then snapped his fingers. A group of skeleton servants rushed forward, ready to carry the four desperate elders to Helheim's prison.

The Three Venerables' anger? Putting aside whether those three old monsters who have lived for thousands of years would care about these elders who change the list from time to time, even if the Three Venerables were really angered, so what?

Abyss was worried that the other party was too mysterious. If he could make them lose their minds, that would be a great thing.

The four elders were lifted up by the skeleton servants, and realizing they might be in big trouble, they all looked grave.

But at that moment, one of the elders suddenly burst into laughter.

"Hahaha! Abyss, you don't really think your interrogation skills are unparalleled, do you?"

Abyss glanced at him lazily, raised his hand to signal the skeleton servant not to leave, and then lifted the elder into the air.

"I think it would be easy for me to interrogate the four of you."

“You’re wrong, Abyss!” said the laughing elder.

“We do indeed possess a great deal of information, but if we are forced to reveal this information against our will, a spell buried within our souls by the Three Venerables will be activated, directly erasing all our memories! This is a scheme devised by the Three Venerables to prevent outsiders from forcibly discovering the Council's secrets! Moreover, this spell can also be triggered when we are in extreme pain!”

That's possible. Abyss already knew that the three Venerables were exceptionally powerful and had a deep understanding of the soul, so it would be very reasonable for him to devise such a plan.

Moreover, they were quite meticulous in their secret management of the Council of the Dead. Abyss had considered this possibility beforehand; he had originally planned to capture an unlucky individual and interrogate them to test the waters, and then deal with any problems that arose.
