Chapitre 676: The Chaos Before the Storm      

With all the necessary items secured for their venture into the Netherworld, Ren and Evie completed their preparations and moved forward. 

Meanwhile, Salister Kane's nefarious plans were already in motion.

In the dark recesses of his lair, Salister conducted a chilling ritual that stretched across 24 harrowing hours. 

As the ritual reached its dreadful conclusion, an agonizing wave swept through any creature whose soul was owned by Salister Kane or bound by an active contract. 

The pain was unbearable. For creatures with 10,000 HP less, death was instantaneous, their souls forcibly seized by Salister. 

Those with more than 10,000 HP endured excruciating torment, suffering psychic damage equal to half their maximum hit points. 

To ensure no survivors remained, Salister dispatched two groups of his minions, relentless in their pursuit to finish off any who escaped the initial onslaught.
