Chapter 540: Gravelord versus Graveyard
Some faint dots of blue light started to appear close to the ground around Sofia after she chose not to summon anyone for help. They were blue flowers, opening one by one, revealing their luminescent petals. Like a wave spreading from Sofia’s position, the flowers opened up, lighting up the cavernous underground place with their blue hue. Thousands of tombstones were messily planted everywhere in the uneven dirt ground, and the glowing blue flowers were everywhere. The perfectly flat brick ceiling above that grand underground graveyard and the many pillars holding it up gave the place some order amidst the chaos.
Maybe about a kilometer across. Is that an exit all the way out there?
Sofia’s senses were no longer blocked by the darkness, and she could now feel the rich ambient mana, and the many bones hidden beneath the soil.
In the distance, a small pile of bones floated up and assembled, building the short skeleton of a dwarf with a vivid blurry green gem inlaid in his skull, holding a stout black shovel covered in glowing blue flowers.
I see. His mana heart is right there for everyone to see, but I have to be careful not to break it.
So what do you have for me, Gravelord Skantar? Shovel martial arts, or some tasteful Necromancy?!
Skantar raised his shovel, and a much too familiar scene of skeletons digging out of the ground played out under Sofia’s gaze, who did nothing to stop them.
Very little mana for so many skeletons, Sofia first observed, slightly impressed.
The skeletons seemed to be mostly human but there were many other humanoid races mixed in. She analyzed the skeletons more, feeling a bit disappointed by what she was seeing.
