Chapter 880: Nightmare Difficulty
"Stop looking. It’s Ghost Stone. Only ghosts can pass through."
The spirit swordavatar flew over and hovered behind Orion. Clearly, Alexander knew that this particular avatar of Orion’s could transform into a spectral form.
"Ghost Stone?" Leonidas exclaimed. "For fuck’s sake, a piece this big? What a goddamn waste!"
He pulled out a demonic, tusked mask, put it on, and his body immediately turned ethereal, merging into the stone wall.
Not to be outdone, Orion activated his Ghostly Steps skill and phased through right behind him.
Passing through the Ghost Stone wall, they emerged into a narrow, dark passage. The walls were studded with countless thumb-sized gems that emitted a faint green glow, lending a mysterious air to the hidden depths.
"Shit. This is a problem," Leonidas’s voice drifted from up ahead.
Orion thought he’d run into some monsters and hurried forward. "What’s wrong?"
"Damn it. When I saw the valley, I thought this was a Dragon’s Boneyard. I didn’t think it’d be a full-blown Dragon Mausoleum."
Orion was confused. He didn’t see the difference.
"In dragon culture, the burial ground for any dragon below demigod rank is called a Dragon’s Boneyard," Leonidas explained. "Only a place holding the remains of a demigod or higher has the right to be called a Dragon Mausoleum. And a place like this can entomb other dragons, too, but their souls automatically default to a subordinate state to the main occupant."
Leonidas was agitated. Finding a mausoleum was a great opportunity, but it was also incredibly dangerous.
