Chapter 85 - 85 : The Silent Graveyard (1/2)

Not long after the meteorite explosion occurred, several beams appeared in the sky.

These beams were the reinforcements Malark was expecting, however, they arrived a bit too late for the show.

When these people arrived, the first thing that caught their attention is the still burning rose, although its size decreased, the pressure and heat it emitted were still present, coupled with the destruction it caused, it's no wonder it caught their eyes.

They were precisely 3 people, or rather, it was 2 people and one.. skeleton.

The first two wore a battle armor and were twins, as for the skeleton, it just wore a long grey robe and held a long black staff in its hands.

After dazing for a couple of second at the sight, the trio snapped out of it and shifted their gaze toward Malark, who was still chatting with Arthur.

”Malark, what's going on here!”

One of the two twins, which was apparently a zombie too, questioned Malark as they came to help him yet here he is happily chatting as if nothing happened.

Malark was with Lucy and Arthur on his Spirit Boat, although it was a bit damaged, he didn't get angry too much on them, his attitude change was still shocking Arthur.

The Zombie General turned his head in surprise as he someone calling out to him. It has been only a few minutes yet he already forgot about the previous fight, Arthur and Lucy's existence shocked him and left an unforgettable imprint on his mind, especially their powerful attacks.

”Oh? Velice?”

Only now did Malark remember he called for reinforcement at the previous fight.

”Don't show us that look, didn't you crush the sound talisman?”

Velice said that as he glanced at the flaming red rose, he and the other two purposely stayed away from it as they sensed danger.

...

Arthur, who was on the side, stared at them as appraised them when they were in range as the appraise skill can't be done from a very long distance.

Velice (Undead) : Immortal 2nd grade

Karnal (Undead) : Immortal 2nd grade

O'lex (Soul) : Immortal 3rd grade

'Soul?'

Arthur was a bit confused over this 'Soul' Race, it was clearly a skeleton and it should be regarded as an undead, so why does it say Soul?

...

After a short conversation, it was apparent that Malark held a higher position than the other three, although they were a bit angry they come for nothing, they didn't dare shout or blame him.

They boarded the Spirit Boat and proceeded deeper into the Silent Graveyard. The two zombie generals sat a corner and mediated, as for the skeleton, O'lex was scribbling some notes on a shabby looking book.

Arthur got to knew a lot of things of Malark, this Zombie General was really not bad.

It seemed that he looked down on weaklings, especially the ones who do not try to get stronger, that is why he never held the simple and lazy zombies in his eyes.

”The Underworld is divided into 3 Territories, the first is at the south, it's called 'The Abyss Valley' and is ruled by a single entity, its called the 'Void Behemoth', it is the biggest territory in the underworld and no one dares to recklessly invade it as there are other strong beasts lurking there.

At the North-West, there is the 'Monster Archipelago', it's ruled by the monster race. As for the North-East, it is the home of the Undead, also known as 'The Silent Graveyard', it's ruled by the Lich king Aborak.

The only remaining area is the middle of the three territories, it was a rectangle area, small than the others but it is ruled by a mysterious alliance which does not join the fights of the three territories.
