Chapter Vol. 1 Ch. 53
【Robe of the Undead (Damaged): Purple Rare】
Description:
Crafted centuries ago with great effort by the Necromancer Jean Sol, this magical robe was originally intended to be a gold-quality spiritual weapon. Due to insufficient conditions, it only reached the pinnacle of purple quality. However, it already possesses some high-level capabilities.
Its shape can change according to the user, typically appearing as white cloth. It is a top-tier magical equipment that combines offense and defense.
Later, the Necromancer met an untimely end, and this item fell into the hands of Empress of the 【Eternal Throne】. He used it as a medium for the powerful spirit “Bark and Buckle”, who was unwilling to die, to attach their soul to it, becoming the spirit of the 【Robe of the Undead】, forming a special soul life form, achieving the gold-grade spiritual treasure level. He is known as the fourth “Throne” of the 【Eternal Throne】, the Soul Capturing Twin Ghosts.
However, in battle, the spirit of the Twin Ghosts was obliterated by a certain existence, and the 【Robe of the Undead】 itself was damaged due to excessive harm, falling back to its original grade. It has now lost its ability to accommodate a soul, leaving only its basic offensive and defensive functions.

Hmm? This description is quite lengthy, much more detailed than the last one about the 【Demon God Gem (Fragment)】. It even explains the origin clearly.
Both are purple-grade equipment, so why is there such a significant difference?
Could it be because the latter is connected to the so-called “God”?
After all, you can see that in this equipment description, all the names of the characters involved are written quite clearly, except for Miss Violet, who defeated it, being described as “a certain existence.” This implies that not just anything can be written on it.
So, it suddenly feels like I’m quite impressive, doesn’t it?
Just as Miss Priest was processing a jumble of thoughts in her head, the scenery around her quickly changed, and she was back on the battlefield in the Tepaya Basin.
Violet hastily stowed the dropped items into her backpack and stood up as if nothing had happened.
The once thunderous stronghold was now deserted, with only the wooden houses and the main hall still burning fiercely in the blaze.@@@@
There were numerous corpses around, including members of the 【Eternal Throne】 in black robes, soldiers from the Kingdom in silver armor, and even several shadow guards. The level of carnage from the previous battle was evident.
Most importantly, amidst the pile of bodies, Violet accurately identified a kitsune with gray pointed ears and a fox-like tail, sporting several fatal wounds. She was beyond saving, and the sacrificed shadow guards were mostly found near her.
“A fox-folk...”
In the end, she let these shadow guards rest in peace, believing that these young girls had already come to terms with the consequences when they sacrificed their lives.
She silently apologized in her heart, then turned and unfolded her immaculate and sacred wings, flying into the distant sky.

Lilya leaned on her longsword, her slightly dazed and disoriented eyes fixed on the still body with pinkish-white skin. Her chest heaved with deep breaths as she struggled to regain her composure, dealing with the dizziness caused by her depleted magic and blood loss.
She had already given her all, but the current princess, Her Royal Highness, still had a considerable gap compared to the true legends.
Even though Lilya was confident in competing with Sky-level warriors, when facing this assassin, Mevis, with pink and white fox ears and a large tail, she was clearly suppressed without a doubt.
Throughout the battle, Mevis had only used one move, the [Fox Spirit Art: Enchanting Soul Slash]. The headache for Lilya was that, no matter what she tried, she couldn’t break through it.
As soon as Mevis made a move, Lilya involuntarily locked eyes with those pink vertical pupils and became immobilized, allowing Mevis to easily scratch her with a swipe.
Even closing her eyes in advance wouldn’t help, when the attraction force came, it would inevitably result in a strange “staring contest.” Even if Lilya tried to avoid it, her body would do it involuntarily.
If it weren’t for her liquid armor, the high-quality armor she was wearing, and the occasional self-blocking from the Wind Shadow behind her, Lilya would have already perished.
Even so, the princess was now covered in numerous wounds, large and small. She appeared disheveled, and even her breath carried a hint of rusty, acrid smell.
“Hah... geez... he’s so ruthless even against a girl. It’s going to leave scars, you bastard...”
Lilya chuckled self-deprecatingly and once again raised her sword with determination. She knew that this might be futile, but only by going on the offensive could she hope to minimize the damage.
After a series of battles and retreats, most of the Kingdom’s forces and the Shadow Guards had already withdrawn from the basin, and they had cavalry reinforcements pre-arranged. As long as they entered their planned escape route before the arrival of the beastman wolf riders, the retreat should not be difficult.
The remaining problem was how she could save her own life from this fox’s clutches.
