At this moment, within the territory of the Black Monarch.
The core region of the Black Monarch's territory, even though it is fully illuminated by the golden light emitted by the Golden Bridge, still exudes a sense of cold, damp darkness.
Withered trees in the outer zone, and ghost-like Ghost Trees surrounding the core region.
The very center of this area was once the Black Monarch's palace.
But now, it has long ceased to be the eerie palace made from massive skeletal remains, and has transformed into a gray-white stone octagonal palace.
At the octagonal corners and the central tower, black and white flames were burning fiercely, with statues of Centaur Knights positioned at each gate.
A soul-like glowing orb flew from the edge of the sky, following the fiercely burning flames atop the tower.
Then it fell to the doorway of the palace.
When this orb landed on the ground, it transformed into a human-shaped Ghost surrounded by Mist-like smoke.
