Suddenly, Philip found a card under the woman’s body. There was a black lantern on the card with the words ‘Underworld’ next to the lantern.
Philip frowned. The card was weird no matter how favonovel.com looked at it.
As Philip was about to pick up the card, Raven stopped him. “Don’t touch that thing!”
Hearing Raven’s exclamation, Philip was startled. He did not expect that Raven would have such a big reaction upon seeing this card.
Philip asked, “Do you recognize this thing?”
Raven gulped nervously and said, “This is an invitation card from the Archaic Underworld. They usually use this method to invite people they fancy.”
After a slight pause, Raven continued, “It’s rumored that none of the invited guests would return alive.”
Hearing that, Philip realized how serious this matter was.
“Are you saying that the Archaic Underworld is even more powerful than the Killer Regime?”
Raven did not answer Philip’s question but stared at the card on the ground. That was because, at this time, the card was covered in green flames.
A voice said among the green flames, “Philip Clarke, Raven, the Archaic Underworld awaits your presence at the Beelzebub Abyss three days later.”
It was a magnetic male voice, but Philip could see that Raven’s hair stood on end.
Philip could not understand why a simple card like this could scare Raven almost out of his wits.
At this moment, the burning card turned into two imprints stamped on Philip’s and Raven’s hands.
Philip even tried to use his level 7S fire element to destroy the mark to no avail.
Raven slumped on the floor and said wryly, “During the few days I was with you, I’ve experienced things that I’ve never experienced before.”
Then, Raven told Philip about the Archaic Underworld.
The Archaic Underworld was a remote and sinister place where many powerful people on this continent would seek refuge from their enemies. No one could govern that place, and most people formed their little circles.
Every year, two envoys from the Archaic Underworld would distribute these cards, which was an invitation card.
However, no one had ever returned from the Archaic Underworld alive, so no one knew what happened to those who went there.
It was not that no one refused, but those who did would get their entire families killed. Since then, no one dared to refuse, although they were sure to die.
Hearing Raven’s explanation, Philip suddenly laughed.
He did not think that the Archaic Underworld would select people every year just to kill them. They must have their purpose for doing so.
No matter what their purpose was, Philip guessed that they would never allow the participants to die before they went there.
Thinking of this, Philip was no longer so worried about the Killer Regime’s assassination.
