Chapter 486: Headed for the Imperial City. Skeleton Archmage’s Ambition

“Royal skeleton family?”

Hearing the Dark Knight’s words, Joelson asked with some doubt.

Royal skeleton family?

From this name, it was obvious that they must have some kind of connection with the skeleton clan.

Moreover, they had just defeated the skeleton clan.

Now that the Dark Knight had suggested the royal skeleton family, it was impossible that it was unrelated.

“What does it have to do with the skeleton clan that we defeated?”

Joelson asked.

The dark knight said respectfully, “Master, the royal skeleton family is one of the major forces in the Underworld. Their members are almost all over the Underworld.”

“The skeleton clan that we just defeated is just a branch of the royal skeleton family.”

“There are also deathgod artifacts in the royal palace of the royal skeleton family.”

“And there might be more than one of them!”

“So even if I don’t target them, I have already made enemies with the royal skeleton family?”

“That’s right!”

“Instead of finding trouble with other royal families and big forces, we might as well find the royal skeleton family. After all, we have already made enemies with them.”

The Dark Knight said.

Joelson started to think.

His thoughts were the same as the Dark Knight’s. Since they had already formed an enmity with them, they might as well target the royal skeleton family.

Most importantly, the Dark Knight said that the royal skeleton family might have more than one deathgod artifact!

Thinking of this, Joelson asked, “Are you sure that the royal skeleton family has more than one deathgod artifact?”

“Master, although the royal skeleton family has always denied this point.But in the Underworld, almost everyone thinks so. However, I’m not sure. I can only say that the chances are very high!”

After the Dark Knight finished speaking, he revealed a hesitant expression and said, “However, the real royal skeleton family is extremely powerful. Among them, there are experts that are absolutely not weaker than a sovereign!”

“In terms of strength alone, they are not the weakest among the major forces that possess deathgod artifacts.”

Joelson did not have any reaction to this.

As long as it was a faction with deathgod artifacts.

Even the weakest among them was not something he could defeat at the moment.

Therefore, there was no difference in choosing the royal skeleton family or other weaker targets.

And the royal skeleton family might have more than one deathgod artifact.

Joelson would naturally choose the royal skeleton family as his target.

The Dark Knight saw Joelson’s expression, so he naturally knew that he had made a decision.

So he said, “Since Master has decided to target the royal skeleton family, I’ll send out the undead army now.”

“But the twin-headed ogres have just surrendered. If we bring them along with us, we might leave some hidden dangers behind.”

The Dark Knight looked at Joelson.

Since his master had already decided, he would naturally do his best.

He had already started to plan for Joelson.

However, after hearing his words.

Joelson refused.

Joelson said, “We don’t need the twin-headed ogre, nor do we need the undead army.”

The Dark Knight’s gaze was a little puzzled.

Joelson continued, “This time, I’ll go with Godfrey and Hades.”

“You guys stay here and keep trying. See if you can find the skeleton archmage.”

“Yes, Master!” The Dark Knight said respectfully.

He naturally understood what Joelson meant.

As the leader of the undead army, he knew very well how powerful the undead army was.

Even if the undead army went all out, with the twin-headed ogre, they would not be a match for the royal skeleton family.

It was absolutely impossible to defeat the royal skeleton family and obtain the deathgod artifact.

It was absolutely impossible!

The royal skeleton family was simply too powerful!

Moreover, if so many people went out together, they would definitely attract the attention of the royal skeleton family.

Rather than that, it would be better for a few people to first understand the situation regarding the deathgod artifact that the royal skeleton family possessed.

In truth.

That was exactly what Joelson thought.

Not to mention the undead army.

Even if some of the sovereign forces of the endless planes descended, they might not be a match for the royal skeleton family.

In the entire endless planes, the forces that could defeat the royal skeleton family…

Perhaps only the Supreme Academy and the overlords of the four great planes would have absolute confidence in crushing the royal skeleton family!

A few more days passed.

After making his decision, Joelson did not stay any longer.

After making some preparations, he brought Godfrey and Hades to the imperial city where the royal skeleton family was located.

As for the other dragons.

Joelson had already let them return to the ranching space first.

If anything happened, he could directly summon them out.

Just like that.

A person, a soul, and a giant dragon made of bones were on their way.

…

At this time.

In the Underworld.

A place extremely far away from Joelson and the others.

A skeleton wearing a black robe was flying along a pitch-black river in a certain direction.

This skeleton was none other than the skeleton archmage.

The skeleton archmage stopped and slowly landed beside the black river.

Looking in front of the river, the soul flames in the hollow eye sockets jumped twice.

“We should be arriving soon.”

A faint soul fluctuation came from the skeleton archmage’s side.

However, he could feel a sense of excitement from it.

It seemed that he was not hurt by the death of the Death Spirit King.

In truth, that was indeed the case.

“The Death Spirit King is now dead. All the other high-level skeletons are dead as well. I’m the only one left.”

The skeleton archmage muttered to himself.

“As long as I submit the information regarding the deathgod artifact, this extra throne will be mine!”

That’s right!

He wasn’t loyal to the Death Spirit King. If it wasn’t for the fact that the Death Spirit King was a peak god, he felt that he would have been able to fight for the position of ‘king.’

And now, the Death Spirit King had already died at the hands of the undead army’s highgod.

He had just happened to go out and obtain news of the deathgod artifact!

It could be said that this was the best opportunity for him to become a ‘king’!

“Thank you, Necromancer God, for your favor!”

The skeleton archmage said with a cold laugh.

Even he himself felt that this opportunity had come at too much of a coincidence.

But no matter what, it was a good thing for him!

If the skeleton archmage still had flesh and blood, he would definitely have an extremely arrogant smile on his face.

After sighing, the skeleton archmage also decided on a route.

He was prepared to fly into the sky again and head for the royal capital where the skeleton clan was located.

But at this moment.

A hand suddenly covered his shoulder.

The soul flame in the hollow eye sockets of the skeleton archmage trembled violently twice.

“Who is it?”

The skeleton archmage let out a sharp cry.

His entire body turned into a stream of light and fled in a direction.

However, he did not run far before he stopped and turned around to look.

No matter who this person was, to be able to get close to him without him noticing at all…

This proved the person’s strength. It was absolutely impossible for him to escape.

The skeleton archmage was extremely terrified. He turned around, wanting to see who this person was.
