Juliana protested, “Y-You can't kill us just like that! I know you're the Great Marshal, but that doesn't mean you can
kill us civilians. We did nothing wrong!”
Zeke snapped, “You colluded with the Netherworld to steal the nation's Fortuna, and you are plotting to overthrow
the leader. That does not seem like 'nothing wrong' to me.”
Juliana argued, “No! That's just something you made up! This is the first time I've heard about the Netherworld. It's
true. There's no way I would have worked with them.”
Zeke scoffed, “Do you really think I can't see through you? All of you reek of negative energy. It's obvious you've
been keeping in touch with the Netherworld for a long time now.”
Juliana looked at herself. “What negative energy? That's just nonsense. I'm perfectly normal. Fine. Just kill me if
you'd like, but the very least you could do is stop coming up with all these nonsensical accusations.”
Noticing how Juliana did not seem to be faking her innocence, Zeke realized one thing. Hm. She doesn't seem like
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtshe's lying. They probably don't know about the Netherworld. Even so, they still reek of negative energy. They
probably don't know that some Netherworld members are lurking among them.
Zeke announced, “I would never kill the innocent. Since you don't believe me, then I shall show you some proof.”
With that, he molded his energy into a dagger and cut Juliana's wrist open.
The wound ran about two inches deep. In most circumstances, the artery would have been cut, and blood would be
splattered everywhere. However, not a single drop of blood flowed from Juliana's wound. It was as if the dagger
had cut into a dead fish instead of a living, breathing person.
Juliana didn't even feel any pain at all. In fact, she didn't feel anything. She looked down at her wound in disbelief,
then she broke down. “W-What is this? Why is this happening to me? I should be bleeding right now, so why aren't I?
Tell me, what's going on?”
All the younger people in the Ministry of Sacred cut their wrists open as well after seeing that example, but as
expected, they didn't bleed either.
The realization that they might have become some sort of undead horrified everyone there.
Zeke confirmed their suspicion, “Your bodies have already been modified by negative energy, turning you into
something that's between a human and a ghost. We call creatures like you immortals. However, in this case, an
immortal is more like a walking, breathing corpse. The reason? They don't have any blood or heartbeat.”
All the ladies cursed, “D*mn them! Those guys are undead! When they said they could grant us eternal youth, I
thought they were gods. Immortals, even! Now they turned us into immortals, but we're nothing more than sentient
zombies!”
“We got played like a fiddle! Those guys lied to us!” Another lady burst into tears.
Killer Wolf raised his sword and pressed it against Juliana's neck. “Tell me where those guys are right now.” If I'm
correct, the guys they mentioned must be the same guys from Netherworld. Problem is, they don't know those
guys are Netherworlders even though they kept in touch with them for a long time.
Juliana hesitated to speak up for a few times, but in the end, she said, “I-I don't know. I really don't. I'm not lying.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmPlease don't ask me anything about them. We didn't betray the nation. Really. All we did was just exchange some
unimportant information about Eurasia for something we need.”
Sole Wolf roared furiously, “What did you just say, you f*cker? All the nation's information are important. All of
them! Killer Wolf, do it!”
With a wave of his hand, Killer Wolf cut Juliana's neck open, leaving a wound that ran a few inches deep. Despite
that, Juliana didn't even wince. She didn't bleed, nor did she feel any pain at all.
Even after she suffered a supposedly fatal wound, Juliana still stood there like it was nothing. She was technically a
corpse now. Unless Killer Wolf dismembered her, no wound would kill her.
Juliana was shocked, of course, but she was also delighted that no weapon could harm her. “Run! Run as fast as you
can!” she shouted. “We're all undead now! Their weapons are useless against us!”
All the family members of the Ministry of Sacred made a run for it. They used to be regular humans who had never
met any martial artist before, so they didn't know how terrifying one could be. They had no idea that it was useless
to try and escape amidst chaos. Any martial artist worth their salt would shut down that operation easily.
