Chapter 179: Volantis (2) (2/2)

For example, for a Necrohts involved the Goddess A the Death Lord in the Nexus to defeat as the 12th and final Trial Quest After defeating the Death Lord, the player character received a huge buff to their strength which they then used ina cli Dark and its ame for the Necromancer There were various other paths for Warriors, Priests, assassins, and so on and so forth to the point that

Aldrich himself, even with his extensive playtiame

What his familiarity with the Necromancer class did do, however, was force

Aldrich to explore the world considerably It s like itely uniue to find out exactly where to find the best creatures to raise

Because of this, and because Aldrich hi out lore, he had a very solid understanding of the parts of the world that his class could explore It was not a perfect understanding as there were surely countless other secrets known only to those that did playthrough with other classes, but it was still extensive enough that Aldrich knew a good aht, the only land of fire is Helith, the home of the demons, and it is incredibly far from the Shatterlands to the point where only one Orc leader has ever reached it Warmother Thela

Or, as other races would have known her, Thela the Conqueror Her horde, the

Golden Horde, had a serious shot of building a serious empire if she hadn't been assassinated by de a bell?" "Thela? I-I don't know," began Volantis, his voice cracking uncharacteristically

Aldrich immediately perked up in alarm He sensed the metal of Volantis start to rattle around his body of bones "Volantis, is so?" "Thela? Warmother? Conqueror?" Volantis spoke almost as if in a trance "I should not know this, and yet, why does this sound so familiar? Thisshould not be possible I should not reh!"

Volantis instantly opened up his ar into countless strands of metal that peeled back to bare Aldrich to the open air He instantly rolled forwards, the dark grey bones of his Lich body clattering against the metal in the Null Box

Thankfully, the Null Box was such an insulated space that Aldrich doubted anything going on inside of it could be heard outside

Aldrich watched Volantis with green light flashi+ng in his eye sockets

Volantis's form was still opened up, but all around the black metal of his body, both inside and outside, there were countless odd red sigils glea from them was unmistakable — these were demonic runes

Aldrich did not understand as happening He assuered some kind of mechanism embedded within Volantis, one eed hi his past

Volantis's voice echoed out from his peeled open form, but the voice was not directed to Aldrich When Volantis spoke, his voice lost the sant tone The voice that had made him sound almost robotic sometimes, like a perfect Al

Instead, this new voice cauttural, and laced with a perrowl "Thelathey left you They let the demons do this to you What do I do? Without your dream? All I amall Iam is a monster You were the one that showed me I could be more

Butif a ive theonsdemons - I'll take their bones

I'll take

And take

And take

Until there is nothing left"
