After traveling for some time, Caelan and Alyssa finally arrived at the entrance of the [Raise Undead] Instance.

At this moment, both of them noticed the ranking board located at the Instance entrance at almost the same time.

Listed on it were the records and completion times of all clearing teams.

A large number of awakeners were gathered at the Instance entrance. Some had just come out of the Instance, while others were preparing to enter, though they had not yet adjusted their condition.

From this alone, one could see just how attractive [Raise Undead] was.

In truth, Instances like [Raise Undead] were often worth exploring multiple times, because their areas were large enough, and many hidden spaces existed within them.

Because of that, the area around [Raise Undead] had also supported a large number of related businesses.

To give a simple example, first of all, the terrain of [Raise Undead] was constantly changing. Every seven days, the terrain would reconstruct itself. Because of that, people had to continuously enter and draw brand-new maps.

Aside from that, hidden locations, special monsters, monsters’ weaknesses, and so on all required people to explore and figure out.

Thus, around the [Raise Undead] Instance, a complete business chain had formed.

Caelan and Alyssa possessed the most comprehensive intelligence provided by the Ironclad Legion, so they did not need to spend extra money buying maps or other related materials.

But for the vast majority of ordinary awakeners, purchasing intelligence could be of great help to them.

Alyssa opened the intelligence file in her hands, then gave a surprised "Huh?"

"How interesting. I never noticed this before, but it turns out the [Raise Undead] Instance actually has two kinds of endings — true and false."

"Only by finding all the hidden content can one trigger the hidden boss battle. This setting actually feels quite interesting."

Caelan nodded, but his gaze casually swept across the surroundings.

Most of the awakeners had a similar piece of intelligence in their hands, but the focus of their discussion did not seem to be the hidden boss.

Instead, it was an item.

The problem was, his own guide did not mention this item at all!

Could it be that aside from [Necrostone], [Raise Undead] had some other good thing?

Caelan thought for a moment, then walked up to a girl with a priest class and asked,

"Hello. May I ask, is the item you’re discussing not [Necrostone]?"

The priest girl froze for a moment. She was just about to retort, "If you want intelligence, why don’t you buy it yourself?"

But when she saw Caelan’s handsome face, her maiden heart immediately stirred. Her little heart, which had been silent for many years, actually burst forth with brand-new vitality!

The priest girl’s face instantly turned bright red.

"Um... Handsome little brother, what you said is right, but not entirely right."

"To be precise, what we’re discussing is [Sacred Necrostone], not [Necrostone]."

"[Sacred Necrostone]?"

Caelan narrowed his eyes. A trace of surprise flashed through them.

"What is that? Could you introduce it to me?"

The priest girl nodded heavily almost without any hesitation. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

What could possibly be more pleasant than chatting with a super handsome guy?

"[Sacred Necrostone] is actually an enhanced version of [Necrostone]. Its effect hasn’t really changed much, but it has an additional special description called [Whispers of the Undead]. Everyone is curious about what use it has!"

"So that’s how it is."

Caelan nodded. Then, a trace of understanding appeared in his eyes.

"Thank you very much."

After saying that, Caelan directly disappeared from where he stood with Alyssa.

The priest girl personally watched Caelan vanish into thin air. Her eyes widened, and she subconsciously looked around.

"How strange. Where did that handsome little brother from just now go? Why did he suddenly disappear?"

"Could my memory have become confused? Or... did I encounter an undead?"

Thinking of this, the priest girl could not help shivering.

But in the next moment, she suddenly felt that being together with such a handsome undead did not seem like a bad choice either.

...

At the same time, at the entrance of [Raise Undead].

Caelan and Alyssa stepped into the teleportation gate one after the other.

The next moment, an intense sense of dizziness surged toward them continuously.

When Caelan and Alyssa’s vision finally returned to normal, they were surprised to discover that they were actually standing inside a ruined chapel.

Upon seeing this ruined chapel, expressions of disbelief appeared on both Caelan’s and Alyssa’s faces.

Wait.

Why was the situation in [Raise Undead] completely different from the guide they had seen before?

Alyssa subconsciously picked up her guide and flipped open the first page.

According to the guide’s description, after entering the [Raise Undead] Instance, they should first arrive at an abandoned cemetery, then enter the great tomb, encounter the [Lost Skeleton King], and after that...

Alyssa continuously flipped through her guide.

But no matter how many times she checked, she still could not find any records related to the Ruined Chapel.

It was as though the Ruined Chapel before their eyes had never been seen by anyone before this.

But...

How was that possible?

The [Raise Undead] Instance had existed for so many years. Its guide should have been extremely complete by now.

Alyssa unconsciously moved a little closer in Caelan’s direction.

Caelan, on the other hand, looked completely indifferent.

Although the atmosphere of the Ruined Chapel before him was indeed just a tiny bit terrifying, to Caelan, this level of horror was nothing at all.

After all, Caelan was a man who had undergone countless baptisms in Raccoon City and the mansion.

"Don’t worry. It’s just a ruined chapel."

"Since we’re already here, how about we go in and take a look?"

Alyssa had originally wanted to refuse.

But she also knew that the core of the Instance should be inside the Ruined Chapel. There should be clues there leading to the next area.

So after a brief moment of hesitation, Alyssa nodded lightly. At the same time, she moved even closer to Caelan’s side.

Good brothers should stick together!

Such a thought suddenly appeared in Caelan’s mind.

Immediately afterward, he forcefully shook his head, stepped forward, and entered the Ruined Chapel.

Under the clear moonlight, the Ruined Chapel appeared even more horrifying.

The instant Caelan and the others entered the chapel, they saw a floating phantom appear directly ahead.
