It was a cluster of red spider lilies. Their petals were blossoming like little umbrellas. Their stems started growing and filled the tile with a sea of flowers in just a few seconds.

The red flowers would have continued to spread if it weren’t for the restrictions of the tile.

The red spider lilies spread across the tile. People would not have eye fatigue looking at them for a long time. It was like a drawing invoking countless thoughts. The longer they stared at the flowers, the harder it was for them to come to their senses.

The flowers were not just for admiration. As their petals swayed, these flowers that were known as the blossoms of the realm of death were giving off a strange icy Aura that resembled death!

A breeze swept across the tile and raised a black veil among the flowers. A figure slowly took form inside it.

It was wearing a black dress. It remained unmoving, like a red spider lily that was upside down, elegant and slender.

“It’s the Red Spider Lily Queen!”

The European was the first to break the silence. He had a complicated expression on his face. It went from respectful and scared to joyful and excited.

The red spider lilies scattered across the tile like a sea, the Red Spider Lily Queen’s black dress standing out among them.

She was tall, with a cold and noble Aura. Most importantly, her body was not solid. The hair that was spreading down her shoulders was part of a shadowy Aura that was accumulating and dissipating on its own.

Mo Fan was?greatly shocked. He was not familiar with Darkness Creatures, but he had read about the Shadow Tribe to a certain degree.

He also had ties with the Shadow Tribe, as the Shadow Guards and Shadow Elders were part of the Shadow Tribe.

The Red Spider Lily Queen was the Queen of the Shadow Tribe! She was superior to the Elders of the Shadow Tribe, a true empress ruling over the Shadow Tribe!

Why would such a powerful and mysterious royal of the Shadow Tribe be on the chessboard?

Most importantly, she was supposed to be representing the Lord of Darkness. Why was she on their side, instead of their enemy’s side?

“This is great. We might make it out alive!” the European blurted out in excitement.

He had lingered in the Dark Plane for some time. He only became aware of how powerful the Darkness Creatures were after coming into contact with them. The things he had learned during his stay here had completely undermined his understanding of the world.

An existence like the Red Spider Lily Queen controlled the right to exist of many creatures of the Dark Plane. If the Red Spider Lily Queen was on their side, she could easily slaughter the Dreadful Curse Cerberi and Dark Swordmasters.

Even the Crimson Scorpion Medusa and White Widow were no match for the Red Spider Lily Queen.

“Mo Fan, look at the enemy’s queen!” Asha’ruiya called out. She was not too far from Mo Fan. She had also focused on the Red Spider Lily Queen at first.

Mo Fan immediately looked to the other side. To his surprise, the enemy’s queen was also a human!

It was a woman dressed in a silver-gray robe. Mo Fan had a feeling he had seen a similar outfit before.

The sincere disciples in the Parthenon Temple’s Hall of Faith dressed in the same type of robe. Their hair was wrapped in a wimple, while part of their faces was covered with a veil.

The Parthenon Temple was a feminist kingdom. It did not necessarily forbid women from wearing revealing clothes, but it was respectful to wear plain clothes when praying for blessings on the Mountain of the Goddess.

A disciple of the Parthenon Temple had turned out to be the enemy queen. She was giving off a strong Aura from the Parthenon Temple.

Mo Fan looked at Asha’ruiya with a puzzled expression. He wondered if she knew who the woman was.

Why would a disciple of the Parthenon Temple be assigned the enemy’s queen, a position higher than the Crimson Scorpion Medusa and the White Widow?

“She’s indeed from the Parthenon Temple, but I don’t remember her at all.” Asha’ruiya was puzzled, too.

The enemy queen was obviously human. She was not a living dead, nor was she an Undead. She was a living woman!

In other words, the game was not about humans versus Darkness Creatures. The Lord of Darkness was assigning different species to both sides randomly.

They had Darkness Creatures on their side, while the enemy had humans, too!

“Isn’t that the Saintess of Darkness?” an old woman screamed.

The voice had come from the crowd of pawns. Asha’ruiya and the long-haired European had not recognized who the enemy queen was. New chaptᴇrs are published on novelenglish.net . ꜰɪre.nᴇt

However, if the enemy queen was human, someone would know her, since the enemy queen would not?be an ordinary person. She had to be on par with the Red Spider Lily Queen!

“Saintess of Darkness!” Asha’ruiya finally realized who the enemy queen was.

Mo Fan and the European both looked at Asha’ruiya, waiting for her explanation.

The important pieces were already placed on the board. The game of chess was about to begin. They had to learn every piece of information about their enemy.

“She’s from the same time as my father. She was a Saintess like Izisha, but there aren’t any records of her name in the Parthenon Temple. I only know she was called the Saintess of Darkness. She had a fierce competition with Izisha, and even managed to outwit her at one time. She used a Forbidden Art in order to gain more power.

“I believe you are familiar with the Cold Prince. The Saintess is the one who invented the Evil Faith that the Cold Prince abused. She broke her Contract with the Lord of Darkness to steal his power, so the Lord of Darkness sent his clone to drag her into Hell.”

Evil Faith?

If a god became more powerful when more people worshiped them and swore their loyalty to them, an evil existence could also obtain more evil power from people’s hatred and negative emotions and grow stronger!

The Cold Prince had become a ghastly monster because of the Evil Faith.. Mo Fan would not have stood a chance against him without being able to rely on the Demon Element.
