Chapter 657 - 657 654 Visit in the Shadows

?Chapter 657: Chapter 654: Visit in the Shadows Chapter 657: Chapter 654: Visit in the Shadows Spacious and ornate, the grand hall, adorned with many reliefs and patterns related to the Abyssal Hound on its roof and walls, hosted a silent figure on the podium known as “The Saint”—a grotesque creature.

Atop the podium stood the “Skeleton Crown,” interwoven from dark bones. Among the intertwined nerves and blood vessels at the base of the crown were half-open, half-closed eyes, and in the center rested the terrifying brain, occasionally emitting low, indistinct sounds as it quivered slightly.

The lower-tier priests and ordinary disciples maintained their silence, standing cautiously and tensely in the corners of the hall. They kept their distance from the central podium, not daring to meet directly the eye stalks of The Saint, which were in a state of dormancy. A deep, oppressive atmosphere enveloped the space, as if the very air had solidified.

Everyone knew that The Saint was in a foul mood—and it was clearly related to the abrupt halt of recent operations.

This silence and suppression continued for who knows how long before a voice suddenly appeared in the ears of every lower-tier priest and ordinary disciple—”Leave.”

As if granted a reprieve, the Annihilating disciples swiftly exited the meeting hall through the various doors in almost the blink of an eye, leaving only the upper-tier priests near the podium.

“Saint,” a high-ranking priest with neatly combed white hair and dressed in a black coat turned towards the podium and broke the silence, “we have received messages from Moco and Ciprod that the elves who were in a state of sleep and dissolution across the City-States are gradually recovering.”

“…The entrance to the Dreamscape has vanished, and the Skull of Dreams no longer responds to the ‘blood meal’,” another upper-tier priest immediately added. “From the current situation, it appears that the Dream of the Nameless has completely disappeared—yet until now, the followers of the sun have not contacted us.”

“They will no longer contact us,” finally came the response from within the Skeleton Crown. “The Scions of the Sun leading this operation have perished, and that loss is enough to plunge those followers into prolonged chaos… With that core ‘Scions’ lost, the branch that cooperated with us will cease to exist soon.
