Chapter 346.2
Yet it was this very Agent of Nameless Chaos who spoke.
With a tone more resolute than any paladin or priest Horace had ever known.
“I will reclaim the Holy Land.”

Isaac delved into Horace’s consciousness through the Eye of Chaos.
Isaac didn’t need to probe deeply into Horace’s consciousness; he was only searching for the link between Dead December and Horace. At last, he spotted a tangled thread-like trace connecting them.
Just as Dead December controlled Arachel Brant’s corpse like a marionette with chains, his influence extended over Horace as well. However, because Horace was already under powerful motivation, Dead December hadn’t needed to exert full control over him.
‘The Immortal Order grants a measure of control from higher undead to lower ones, regardless of influence.’
Many aspiring undead failed to realize that being granted the status of a “follower” did not mean complete autonomy. All souls in the Immortal Order were bound under the sway of the Immortal Emperor Beshek. Angels held authority below him, followed by bishops and priests in a hierarchical pyramid of control.
