Chapter 299: One-Sided Massacre

"How is the progress of the collection of souls, that died on the battlefield, going?" 

"Everything is proceeding smoothly, Sir. It's quite unfortunate that we didn't meet our goal in building the required altars, but that can be compensated by increasing the number of souls that we collect from the ongoing war."

The man who sat on the throne nodded his head. "What about the key? Do we have any news?"

"The agents that are currently monitoring the two princes say that both of them are doing their best to acquire the key," a man wearing a black robe reported. 

"Unfortunately, the timing of the war has caused them delays because the King is always with his war council. There have not been any opportunities for them to ask, or look for the key without making it look suspicious."
