The Legendary Man

Chapter 1262 A Good Show

The moment vitality flickered within the eyes of the reanimated corpses behind him, a peculiar force abruptly rent Stellario's hands, disrupting the seals he was forming.

Among the cultivators of Chanaea, an inherent division existed between those aligned with righteousness and those drawn to darker paths. The Mallory family stood out as one of the most prominent factions straddling this line between the two.

The Mallory family didn't fall completely into either the realm of goodness or malevolence. While their techniques were undeniably perilous and ruthless, the Mallories had, over recent generations, adopted a considerably more restrained and reserved approach.

After all, the entirety of the social structure had evolved over millennia. However, there was a specific cause for why the Mallory family was driven into seclusion within Centum Mountain in Yorksland by the other respectable families.

Nonetheless, they were far from being malevolent. They never proactively sought to inflict harm upon others.

Countless individuals who unwittingly strayed into the Mallory family's territory found themselves unable to forget the experience long after departing. Some were so captivated that they even risked their lives to become a part of the family.

Furthermore, whenever someone found themselves embroiled in trouble, the Mallories always stepped in to help resolve the issue.

Consequently, throughout centuries, the public's opinions of the Mallory family had perpetually remained a blend of praise and criticism.

In an effort to maintain their standing, the Mallory family had consistently instilled discipline in their descendants, dissuading them from acting recklessly.

Nevertheless, the decision to refrain from rash actions was always a choice rather than an obligation.

As the major clans of Chanaea underwent changes in power, the boundaries of influence for the remaining prominent clans became more distinct. The Mallory family's large-scale endeavors also dwindled in frequency over time. Eventually, their presence became a rarity beyond the confines of Yorksland, but that didn't mean they'd given up on some important traditions that were passed down in the clan.

And now, Stellario was employing one of the most reviled techniques among the Mallory family's forbidden techniques—the Corpse Manipulation Technique.

A dozen or so afterimages streaked past Stellario's side. Those who had been previously deceased not only came back to life at this moment but also exhibited a swiftness that surpassed their prior capabilities.

While alive, humans' physical speed and agility are subject to numerous constraints, including factors like muscle strength, explosive power, and one's inherent endurance limit.

However, at this moment, these resurrected corpses were free from any pain or discomfort, entirely unburdened by concerns about whether their limbs could withstand the strain or not.

Although, at this velocity, it was highly probable that the muscles and bones of these reanimated corpses would be entirely torn asunder within a short duration, their current speed was more than sufficient under such circumstances and distance.

Though their movements appeared disorganized, their velocity was simply
