Beneath Leonis’s magically conjured light, the distorted skeletons writhed like half-broken toys, casting eerie shadows on the floor.

<We were…the Crystalia Knights…,> a one-armed skeleton said with a crackling voice.

“The Crystalia Knights?” Leonis asked. He knelt down to help Riselia. A clean cloth bandage was wrapped around her right leg. Apparently, these undead had carried her to safety and treated her injuries.

“It was a knight order in service to House Crystalia,” Riselia explained. “They fought to defend this city with my father.”

<Six years ago… We laid down our lives…fighting the Void Stampede…> The skeletons spoke in time, their voices echoing through the dark room.

So they’re wandering dead. Being the Undead King, Leonis quickly realized what these skeletons truly were. At the sites of large clashes, souls that harbored intense, lingering regrets could sometimes remain in the realm of the living.

It wasn’t an uncommon phenomenon. During Leonis’s reign as a Dark Lord, large numbers of undead would rise after battles had ended even without the use of Realm of Death sorcery.

It seems the people of this age don’t know of the undead, though…

Most lands in this era were exhausted of mana, so modern people had never seen undead rising on their own.

But this ruined city is different…

The Voids had brought a vast massacre down upon this place, and it was left untouched for years, surrounded by a miasma. It was no surprise that all the negative mana built up in this place would become a crucible for its wandering spirits.

A Vampire Queen reigned over all undead. The lost souls of the Third Assault Garden had been drawn to Riselia’s presence of death.

Leonis placed his Staff of Sealed Sins on the ground and corrected his posture.

These undead were all warriors who had fought to protect their country. Even Leonis, known for his arrogance, abided by a Dark Lord’s dignity and knew to respect their bravery.

<Do you…not…fear us…?> the skeletons asked Riselia.

“I’ll admit I’m a bit scared of ghosts, but I’m used to skeletons,” Riselia answered, reaching out and taking the bony hand of one of her saviors.

<Oooh… Our mistress… Lady…Riselia…> The knights kneeled in reverence.

Riselia had fought plenty of skeleton soldiers during her training with Leonis, so these hardly gave her pause. She gazed into the creatures’ dimly lit eye sockets.

“Were you the ones who sent the distress signals to Excalibur Academy?”

<Yes… It appears they reached you…safely…>

Riselia and Leonis exchanged glances. They never expected that mysterious call to have been sent by a group of rogue undead. However…

“Why did you summon us?” Leonis asked.

What could the dead possibly desire?

If they wish for their trapped souls to be set free, I could grant that easily enough.

That was simple for Leonis, who had governed over death. But he doubted they went as far as sending a distress signal to Excalibur Academy just for that.

<…We do not…seek salvation…> One of the skeletons shook its head in denial. <We did it…to warn you…>

“Warn us?” Riselia pressed.

<Yes… If things are allowed to continue… The tragedy of six years ago… A Stampede will consume…the Seventh Assault Garden…>

“What…?!” exclaimed Riselia.
