Chapter 20

Remnant of Decay

Kelin spent a good part of the night investigating the library, studying every design and inscription he could find.

Gaius helped by finding stonework that was altered with inscriptions and murals, even if they were hidden beneath the ruins.

The result was fruitful.

He used his time on watch to continue his research and got some sleep in between. By the time morning arrived, he had a better idea of the origin of this library and what type of remnant this was.

He also had some additional clues as to the sense of decay in the elemental crystals.

After breakfast, he gathered everyone toward one section of the library and a series of murals that he’d unearthed from broken shelves and fallen stones.

What was there now was a series of images that stretched along the back wall, detailing the rise of great powers.

“This dungeon is from a world of the undead,” he announced as he pointed at the wall. “These murals show some of their gods, or at least the Seventh Evolution beings that they call gods. There’s a small chance they’re at the Sixth Evolution instead, but the Seventh is more likely.”

“What’s this one?” Galin asked, pointing at the first image. “It looks like some sort of zombie king wearing a crown, and then a lich leading an army. But I can’t tell any more than that. Then there’s a shadowy wraith sort and a big skeleton made of bones. There’s an inscription here too, but I can’t read it.”

Kelin glanced at the images and nodded, but his mood was too serious to laugh. Unlike Galin, he had no trouble reading the inscription.

“The Four Divinities of Death,” he explained as he pointed at the four figures. “Each of them is labeled underneath with their title. The Lord of Decay, the Lord of Silence, the Lord of Plague, and the Lord of Bones.

“According to these murals, each of them rules over a quarter of the nations of the undead. They are the four main servants of the Sovereign of Undeath, as well as the rulers of all below them.”

He turned his attention higher on the wall, where there was a dark figure whose hand was outstretched like a shadowed sun over all the murals below.

He had heard rumors, but the murals had confirmed them with information he’d never known before, including about that figure.

That was the sovereign who was supposed to be at the height of the undead, or perhaps the origin of them all.

He wasn’t sure why the title of sovereign was the same as the Sovereign of Silver Chaos, but he had a feeling there were truths hidden in the name that he would encounter one day, for good or ill.

A mystery hidden behind the truths of the Seventh Evolution and whatever was beyond it.

He pulled his attention back to the four divinities below the sovereign as he explained them one by one.

“The zombie king is the Lord of Decay,” he said. “He rules over that type of undead, as well as the Law of Decay.
