Final Preparations
It took the Alliance one week to hurry and reach Espoir Frieden.
Some of them were relieved to see that their loved ones were alive, while some cried bitter tears after finding out that their family members were among the casualties of the battle.
But their bitterness disappeared when they saw their loved ones, who had been turned into Undead by Asmodeus and his Undead Mages.
Due to the power of the World Tree, the souls of the people who had died had temporarily taken shelter near its body, preventing them from being sucked into the Abyss.
When Lux arrived, these souls returned to their bodies, which he had raised from the dead to help fight against the Abominations, who had ended their lives.
Although they were now Undead, the mere fact that they could still talk and communicate with their families was a blessing in itself.
Asmodeus was now a Demigod-Ranked Monster, so his abilities to reanimate the dead had also been upgraded.
