Chapter 26: Malthius, the Godslayer
Regardless of her disbelief, she did as ordered.
"Awaken... my minions! Your Queen awaits you," she commanded aloud, raising her hand like a regal queen.
Then, using her authority as the Queen of Necromancy, she ordered all the undead in the Ruined Citadel to gather in a line.
"Rawrrr... Grrrr..."
Instantly, the entire ruin stretching across several miles began to stir with ghostly growls and the screams of the dead.
The active ones, the hidden ones, the slumbering ones—every single Undead Knight began to awaken.
Afterward, all of them started marching toward Igaris and Evernight's direction.
The environment was dark, and thunderbolts streaked across the dark sky, like descending wrath of the heavens.
The ground trembled under the weight of countless armored boots and skeletal feet. A tide of death surged through the ruined pathways, carrying with it the scent of decay and the aura of ancient malice.
Evernight stood tall on the cracked stone steps, her hand still raised, a faint eerie light pulsing from her fingertips.
Igaris watched the scene unfold in stunned silence.
