Commander Edson looked away from the slaughter, and he accidentally looked at another fight. It was Chief Kenver against a woman in Dragon Transformation. She saw the woman during their battle against the first army of the void creature. The gorgeous woman stayed next to Tang Shaoyang all the time, and the woman was toying with Chief Kenver.
Chief Kenver had transformed and used his Shadow Elemental Body, but the woman overwhelmed Chief Kenver, someone on his level. The frost aura froze the shadow, that was right, it was the first time he witnessed the shadow get frozen, and Chief Kenver failed to take advantage of his Shadow Elemental Power.
Wherever they stepped, everything was frozen. He noticed that Chief Kenver tried to escape with his domain, but the domain was canceled by the absolute domain. No domain could be activated inside the absolute domain.
When the woman went after Chief Kenver, Edson thought the woman was trying to buy time until Tang Shaoyang killed Mein. That was what he thought, but that was not the case. The woman was clearly stronger than Chief Kenver, and he could say that the woman was toying because she was slowly freezing Chief Kenver.
The longer they fought, Chief Kenver's movement became even more stiff and rigid. As he thought the moment the woman got serious, she caught Chief Kenver. The frost aura froze Chief Kenver from the leg up to his waist.
It was like a flower, the woman grabbed Chief Kenver by the neck and plucked it off her ice. Commander Edson could not stay still anymore. He rushed to the side of Chief Kenver, and he stopped when the woman stared at him.
"I don't want to fight!" Commander Edson raised his hands, indicating that he did not want to fight. "I…" The words stuck in his throat as he realized that dozens of eyes were on him. He realized that the other summons also had finished their fight and had their eyes on him. His guts told him that if he came closer, these summons would attack him.
"Please spare Chief Kenver's life. You have killed the culprit, Mein. This is the best for us." He tried to persuade Tang Shaoyang as his voice was loud enough to reach the hole.
He could stop the war between the administrator and the Hurakan Kingdom as long as Chief Kenver did not die. The Chief of Imperial Investigator, the king's right hand. If he died here, the king would let it slide rather than just kill one of the Imperial Investigator's members.
When they attacked Chief Kenver, he did not worry about Chief Kenver. Chief Kenver might not win against Tang Shaoyang, but Chief Kenver would not get caught, let alone getting killed. It wasn't until he saw the fight, that was why he had to interfere.

The woman frowned, clearly displeased with his interference, but he would not back down even if he had to use his soldiers to fight Tang Shaoyang now. Facing the king's wrath, and facing Tang Shaoyang, he chose to fight Tang Shaoyang even if it meant he lost the frontier. Especially Chief Kenver was innocent in this stupid Scheme by his subordinate. Chief Kenver was used by his own subordinate.
The woman clicked her tongue in displeasure as if she received a message from Tang Shaoyang. Then she threw Chief Kenver to the ground. To his surprise, Chief Kenver's legs broke apart with the ice. His frozen flesh and bones broke, but he maintained the upper half. The leader of the Imperial Investigator held down his pain, grunting.
Commander Edson immediately approached Chief Kenver and offered the best healing potion and regeneration he had in his inventory.
Despite the cold temperature around them, beads of sweat formed on Chief Kenver's forehead, frowning as he held the pain. He breathed heavily as he finally faced death's door once more since a long time ago. Ever since he held the position of Chief Imperial Investigator, he never experienced something , the feeling that he had been forgotten for hundreds of years. It returned when he fought the woman.
"She is The Kankara'Xeo's descendant! She is the primordial dragon in legend, the first dragon, Zonaras the Frost Dragon's ancestor." Chief Kenver muttered in disbelief as his eyes locked on the back of the woman who defeated him.
Currently, the spirits were gathering the dead bodies and throwing them into the hole.
"She froze everything, even my energy. This is crazy!" He kept muttering the same words.
Meanwhile, this was the first time Edson heard about Kankara'Xeo. He was aware of the existence of the primordial dragon, but he did not know them specifically. Even though he did not know anything about Kankara'Xeo, the thought of his energy freezing was daunting, and he was fully aware of how scary it was to have his energy frozen.
"What are they doing right now?" Chief Kenver noticed that the summons were gathering the soldiers' dead bodies. "Isn't it enough that they kill them!?" He could not help but raise his voice.
Commander Edson let out a sigh, "Do you think they will tell me if I ask them?" The answer was obvious. No matter what he said, Tang Shaoyang would not cooperate with him anymore.
"We let the administrator kill the soldiers, why do we care about their bodies anyway?" The second Imperial Investigator came down. When Chief Kenver tried to protect Mein, he backed up. The moment he saw all the summons, he knew that they could not win the fight unless the Hurakan Legion fought with them. However, he agreed with Commander Edson not to fight as well. Their enemy was not the administrator, but the Void Cult.
"Where were you when we needed you, Ben!" Chief Kenver questioned his second subordinate.
Ben let out a sigh. "Do you think it will change anything if I help you, Chief?"
"And if I am in Senior Administrator Tang Shaoyang's place, I will do the same too. My subordinate died for no reason, his subordinate died in the hand of his ally, supposed to be an ally, not in the battle against the Void Cult. In fact, his subordinate died for a silly reason, for a misplaced hatred. The fact that he spared your life is good enough. Do you want me to come over there and tell them to spare those dead bodies?"
Commander Edson let out another sigh. "I regretted calling the Imperial Investigator. I want to clean up my legion, so Senior Administrator Tang Shaoyang can put more trust in us, but your people make it worse. Now we potentially will fight the second army of the void creature without our ace card. On top of that, my soldiers' morale would be low after this."
"The fault is on the Imperial Investigator. We should not let Mein . We know Mein has a deep hatred for The Corrupted Immortal Emperor, the former Executive Administrator. His wife, sons, and daughters died at the hands of the former Executive Immortal Emperor. Because of that, he hated the Void Cult, but he also hated the administrator for what happened." Ben spilled why Mein did such an extreme thing.
Knowing that Tang Shaoyang was potentially a candidate for the next Executive Administrator from Commander Edson. Mein schemed something extreme, provoking Tang Shaoyang to kill him by killing one of the Reds' team members. Mein wanted an all-out war between the administrator and the Hurakan Kingdom. Ben could read the scheme, but thankfully Senior Administrator Tang Shaoyang managed to control his emotions by not killing Chief Kenver.
Mein had returned to his human form and more bodies piling on top of Mein. After a quick calculation, there were about three hundred bodies, and all of them were God Rank. Edson said that Castor could not be resurrected in a normal way, but he had another way to resurrect Castor.
He would summon the spirit first, then he could resurrect Castor from the spirit. The hardest part was to calculate the number of sacrifices. He needed the right number of sacrifices if he wanted to summon Castor's spirit.
"301 one God Rank bodies… is it enough or it's too much?"
Castor was considered on the weaker side of the God Rank even after turning into a calamity. And when someone turned into a spirit, they became weaker. Three hundred and one God Rank dead bodies might be too much to summon Castor.
"I would say he is not even at the level of Ascendant Spirit, let alone Mythical Spirit. Maybe around Grade SS Spirit or Grade SSS Spirit." Avyn voiced her thoughts.
"Three hundred God Ranks might be too much to summon that fool. How about we try one hundred sacrifices first, then try the two hundred of one hundred bodies are not enough." Vandir came up with the number.
"We can use his body as well for the second try. That might increase the odds of summoning his spirit." The Death King added.
Tang Shaoyang followed Vandir's advice and separated one hundred God Rank dead bodies aside. The sacrifice quality between the Unique Rank Calamity or the high-ranking void creatures was different in value to the God Rank. The God Rank was more valuable as a sacrifice based on his experience.
He set aside one hundred God Ranks, and he threw ten Calamity corpses that he saved up for spirit advancement. He hoped the ten calamity corpses would increase the odds of summoning Castor's spirit.
The reason he spared Chief Kenver was because of this. He needed to focus on the summoning. Directing his hand toward the hundred and ten corpses, he activated Spirit Summoning.
