"Humans?"
It was a voice that made everyone's scalp go numb.
It was soft and alluring.
It was as beautiful and melodious as flowing out of the best musical instrument.
More importantly, Sennefer was speaking in Abyss Language, while the "people" in the bar spoke in the common tongue.
Were they humans?
Sennefer quickly changed her language. "Yes, we're humans. And we're allies of the Undying Brigade. "
The people on Dokibell's back looked at each other with serious expressions. They knew that Sennefer's attitude had placed herself in a disadvantageous position.
Sennefer believed that the enemy was far stronger than her.
If that was the case, they had to be careful. Moreover, it was clear that the Dark Night Graveyard was the territory of that expert. It was difficult for them to guess what the other party was thinking.
"If anything happens, I'll open the plane passageway by force. Come with me," Madelyne spoke to Angor using Voice Transmission.
Angor nodded with a serious look. Madelyne was preparing for the worst by opening a plane passageway in the Abyss Plane, where space was unstable.
On the other hand, after Sennefer introduced herself, a low chuckle came from the bar that would make most men's blood boil.
"It's been a thousand years since the last Grave Knight died. Since when did the Undying Brigade have a human ally? "
Sennefer wasn't sure who this person was. She didn't know who he was and why he spoke in the common tongue.
"The Undying Brigade went on an expedition, but the relatives of the Grave Knights didn't go with them. They stayed on the surface and waited for their return. After so many years, a new settlement was born. We have a friendly alliance with this settlement. "
Since there was a stone tablet outside the bar that said this place was the resting place of the Undying Brigade, Sennefer didn't think so. Sennefer could only assume that the person she was talking to in the bar was a friend of the Undying Brigade.
"I see." The voice in the bar was still emotionless. "But that's the work of the Undying Brigade. What does it have to do with the Undying Brigade?"
"We want to bring the remains of the Undying Brigade back to give our allies an explanation."
"Explanation?" "If you want the Remains, why don't you talk to them personally?" she asked with an emotionless smile.
As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the cemetery suddenly changed.
The quiet energy that he had felt before was slowly becoming strange. Dokibell suddenly spoke in a low voice. "Something is moving under the ground."
"No, it's bones. They're coming out of the ground." Brofen looked around with a serious expression.
A large number of skeletons in ragged clothes crawled out of the ground. The entire cemetery was instantly surrounded by piles of bones. At a glance, it looked like a sea of bones.
. "But that wasn't the end of it.
One coffin after another was pushed open, and the knights sleeping in the coffins were awakened. Their eyes glowed with blood-red light, and they stood up one by one.
"So these are the bones of the Undying Brigade?" Could these knights be the elites of the Undead Brigade — the Grave Knights? "Brofen asked in surprise.
"If you have the time to investigate their identities, why don't you think about how to deal with them?" Madelyne snorted.
The Undying Brigade, which had disappeared for thousands of years, was awakened from their long slumber. The first thing they did when they woke up was to glare at all the humans present.
Fighting was inevitable.
"Sir, what is the meaning of this?" Sennefer raised her voice and asked the man in the bar.
"Aren't you going to take their bones away? Aren't you going to ask for their opinion first?" A humming voice came from the bar.
The humming before was a sad and seductive one.
His humming now was obviously filled with a murderous aura.
The humming went around the army of skeletons. The eyes of the Undying Brigade were filled with hatred for the living.
In a bar that no one could see, behind the bar, an enchanting woman with dark red lips was humming. After she finished humming, she said in an extremely low voice, "What a pity, what I hate the most is … humans."
"You lured them to the Land of Rest just to kill them?" The armored knight sitting in front of the bar drank the clear yellow liquid in his glass in one gulp.
"I didn't lure them here. They came to me on their own." Her red lips moved. "The power of the Resting Ground is leaking out. I thought it was the demons from the monastery, but it's the humans."
The knight was silent for a moment. "They're not lying. Our descendants might have allied with the humans."
"So what? Since when did half-blood demons have a groundless sense of responsibility for their descendants, just like humans? Plus, I don't have any descendants. "
…
The battle was about to begin.
A large number of skeletons rushed toward Sennefer and Dokibell with all kinds of weapons in their hands.
"They're not that strong, but there are too many of them. Could it be that they were all summoned by the person in the bar? " Madelyne immediately understood the situation. "Our safety is not a problem, but if we are careless, the apprentices might …"
"I'll protect the Frost Church. If we have to, I'll let the apprentices into my alchemy workshop." Brofen stepped forward.
Madelyne and Vifit nodded and flew out. They formed a triangular barrier with Sennefer and attacked the skeletons coming from different directions.
"Don't hold back." Sennefer gave everyone a meaningful glance. Their biggest enemy wasn't the skeletons, but the man in the bar.
The skeletons weren't that strong, so they posed no threat to the wizards.
However, there were simply too many of them. Plus, the skeletons had the ability to regenerate, which made it difficult for them to kill them. However, there were still some skeletons that managed to slip through the triangular defense line.
These skeletons were kicked away by Dokibell at first.
Later, Angor set up an illusion and guided the skeletons to move around in circles.
Brofen thought he would have to do it himself, but it seemed that Angor's illusion was the most effective one. Since they couldn't kill them, they might as well trap them.
However, there was a limit to the number of skeletons he could trap. Every strike from the skeletons contained energy ripples. If there were too many of them, Angor would not be able to keep up with the consumption rate even if he kept replenishing his illusion nodes.
It seemed that this inexplicable battle was about to reach a stalemate.
The armored knights finally joined the fray.
As soon as the armored knight appeared on the battlefield, the skeleton soldiers naturally retreated to the side, just like how they did when they were alive, leaving the battlefield open for the armored knight to fight.
These knights were all powerful half-blood demons when they were alive. They might have lost some of their power after death, but most of them were still as strong as wizards. Against at least fifteen adept-level combatants, even if they could barely handle it, they would have to give it their all.
It wasn't a good idea to go all out against these skeletons.
"Let's retreat and find a way out!" Sennefer only stayed here because she wanted to see what the man in the bar would do. She wanted to talk to the man in the bar, but it seemed that the man wasn't going to give her any chance.
There was no point in wasting time here.
They didn't attack the skeletons because they wanted to observe the situation. Now that they had nowhere to run, they didn't hesitate.
However, as soon as they left the graveyard, a light barrier appeared in front of them.
It was exactly the same as the one outside the bar.
No matter what they did, they couldn't break it. Instead, they were the ones who got hurt.
Sennefer's expression turned gloomy. She had been hoping that the person who set up the barrier wasn't in the bar, but now she knew that the person who set it up wasn't in the bar. Otherwise, with the other party's strength, there was no need for him to use so many tricks to kill them.
Now that she saw the light barrier behind her, she was sure of it. The man who was stronger than her was probably in the bar. And it was probably the woman who talked to her before.
"So she's determined not to let us leave." Madelyne looked at Sennefer. "What should we do now? Should we open a plane passageway? "
Sennefer's expression darkened. Opening a plane passageway was the last option.
In the Abyss, no one could guarantee that they would be able to leave the plane passageway safely. Plane passageways might be an opportunity, but even wizards couldn't survive if they were in danger.
Sennefer didn't answer Madelyne's question directly. Instead, she told her her speculation.
"There's a powerful being in there?!" "But if she wants to kill us, she doesn't have to go through all this trouble, does she?" Brofen asked.
"Maybe she's just toying with us."
Everyone remained silent. The Graveyard Knights were right in front of them, and they couldn't break through the light barrier behind them. There was also a powerful being looking down at them from above.
It looked like there was only one way out left.
"Should we open a plane passageway and take a gamble?"
Sennefer sighed. "I don't think there's anything else we can do now. That — "
Before Sennefer could finish her sentence, a voice interrupted her. "Wait."
It was Angor, who was standing behind Madelyne. He was looking up with a strange expression.
No one dared to criticize Angor. Thanks to Angor's identity as an alchemist, they didn't.
