Chapter 166: Do You Feel The Difference in Power? (5)
The Undead were monsters that symbolized necromancers. The appearance of them was never a matter to be taken lightly. By nature, the Undead were immortal. The concept of vital points didn’t apply to them; even if killed, they would simply rise again.
Such Undead were not commonly seen. Though classified as monsters, they were not born through reproduction but created solely by dark mages. Due to centuries of persecution and purging, dark mages, especially necromancers, the most dangerous of them all, had become nearly impossible to find. So news of a necromancer’s appearance was hard to believe.
“Undead, you say... Are there witnesses?” Myle asked, and Katherine nodded.
“There are quite a few people who claim to have seen skeleton soldiers, not just one or two people. Some of the witnesses include knights and nobles.”
“If multiple credible people saw actual skeleton soldiers, then this is serious. Shouldn’t the tournament be halted and the city swept for the necromancer?”
“It’s not over yet. Apparently, something else happened too.”
Katherine pointed toward a section of the noble seating area.
“My lord, do you see those empty seats scattered around?”
“Hmm...”
Myle squinted. As Katherine said, there were indeed empty spots. However, he wouldn’t have noticed if she hadn’t pointed them out. After all, most of the nobles didn’t interest him.
“This is another rumor, but apparently a few nobles have gone missing as well.”
“Missing?”
