Chapter 650: Undead Scholars [1]
After the hall finally emptied, the Combat Space shimmered faintly and both participants were extracted.
Two beams of soft white light materialized near the center of the hall. When the glow faded, Michael and Rynne appeared on the platform.
Rynne’s body was still limp, her breathing shallow but stable. Michael, on the other hand, was standing straight, calm as always. The long robe that had been covering Rynne was still wrapped around her.
Yara stepped forward immediately, her boots echoing against the marble floor.
For a moment, neither of them spoke.
Then she said, her voice even but edged with restraint, "You did well, Michael Norman. But from here on, I’ll handle things."
Michael gave a simple nod. But before he could speak, Yara held out her hand. "The robe stays."Michael didn’t argue. With a small shrug, he made his way out of the combat hall.
Since he was top one again, Michael’s rights to the villa were returned to him.
When he arrived and stepped inside after greeting the elves outside in the compound, he noticed the villa was largely unchanged. In fact, there was no change at all.
Michael was slightly surprised and wondered why that was the case. Was it because the previous occupant could only hold the top spot for such a short while, or because they simply didn’t bother to make any changes, thinking they wouldn’t be able to keep it for long?
He wasn’t sure. The latter reasoning didn’t seem entirely solid, especially considering the power Rynne had shown. Against other Rank 2 necromancers, she might have easily maintained her position even if others had their own law.
After all, she had her own law too.
