Chapter 24.2 - The Visit to a Terrifying Cursed Graveyard Part 2 (1/2)
Continent’s southern region, nearby Steinbeck Fief, outside Needham Plains
Clyde, together with ancient Demon King Andrisno, arrived at a discarded graveyard. This resentment about this graveyard was very strong. From far away, he could sense that terrifying resentment. Almost shrouding the entire horizon, the resentment formed smoky shapes that radiated outward.
He wondered what was going on with those Valkyries in Divine Realm. Even after such a long period of time, they hadn’t discovered any issues with this graveyard. There was such a dense resentment here, but Divine Realm hadn’t dealt with it. In addition, Light Church had also not sent anyone to resolve this. According to normal trends, the outbreak of an undead calamity should have already occurred in this graveyard, but to date, there had been no outbreak. It seemed that something here suppressed those resentful spirits.
After Clyde approached that graveyard, he noticed a strange point. This graveyard didn’t appear here to belong to this different world. Before when far away, because it had been shrouded by resentment spirits, Clyde hadn’t clearly discerned the features of this graveyard; thus, he had thought it an ordinary western-style graveyard. However, upon a closer inspection, he realized this graveyard had a completely different style.
This was an ancient Egyptian-styled graveyard covering a humongous area. From the great pyramid to the Sphinx, everything typical of such a place was present. In the vicinity of the pyramid, similar to the ancient Egyptian Valley of the Kings on Earth, wrapped mummies lay in small alcoves. These mummies emitted that terrifying resentment. Perhaps, because of some environmental change, these mummies felt disrespected. Although these mummies did not move at all, even from far away, one could feel the resentment from these mummies.
“Andrisno, you haven’t found the wrong place, have you? This graveyard…”
“Lord Clyde, this graveyard actually is…”
It turned out that Andrisno had accidentally summoned this pyramid long ago. At that time, after she had triggered a legendary Forbidden Tier Summons by a fluke and summoned this special graveyard area from Clyde’s own dimension. Because Andrisno’s strength was limited, she had been unable to finish the entire summoning ritual, leading to this one-fourth completed summons. This graveyard had not completely manifested in this world, so those mummies couldn’t move.
In the God Race’s divinations, this graveyard did not exist because it had not fully formed. Only Clyde, Andrisno, and a few other supreme dark existences could see it. Although the Divine Realm’s Valkyries had sensed the terrifying resentment, they had discovered nothing in this graveyard even after investigating. After fruitlessly investigating many times, they had given up exploring.
The existence of this special graveyard had led to the large accumulation of resentment here. Over two hundred years ago, Princess Sigrid’s ability to open gates leading to Demon and Ghost Realm had had a big connection to this resentment here.
Andrisno wanted to make Clyde complete her previous summoning ritual and deal with this awful mess. The main step of the ritual was already completed. Now, he only need to pour a large amount of dark energy to fully materialize this graveyard. Afterward, the summoning ritual would be complete. The corpses in this area were for sure enough because all those preserved mummies were intact and could definitely suffice for summoning undead.
Moreover, the civilization that had built this graveyard mirrored ancient Egypt, but they seemed to have worshiped darkness. In the religious shrine near the pyramid, only Evil Gods were enshrined, suiting Clyde’s Evil God attribute. Other than corpses, like a real emperor’s graveyard, a large number of valuable offerings were buried. Gold, silver, treasure, and jewels piled up like mountains.
