I reach the ventilation shaft’s exit while we’re talking, and pop out of the tiny smokestack jutting out of the ground and into the city.

“Seriously, we’re all the way out here?”

I’m standing in the middle of a wide square near the city’s walls. This is one of the guards’ parade grounds. The sun’s long since set, so there’s no one else here. I flip my knapsack upside down and shake the contents out.

“Owww... Well, I can’t actually feel pain, I suppose.”

Parker’s bones spill across the cobbled floor. It sure is convenient how they all properly rearrange themselves no matter how much you jumble ’em up.

“Why is it that neither you nor Veight seem to show any respect for your senior disciple?”

“Please, like you actually care about crap like that.”

“Yep, I don’t,” Parker replies with a chuckle, his bony jaws clacking together. “At any rate, it seems we lucked out since there’s no one nearby,” he adds.

“Makes sense. Can’t imagine anyone’d wanna live some place that literally smells like shit.”

Parker’s expression grows serious and he says, “Well then, I suppose I can afford to go all out. Allow me to show you the secret technique I developed together with Master.”

“Alright, let’s see what you’ve got.”

I bet you’re just gonna summon a bunch of undead, right? As predicted, Parker starts summoning a bunch of skeletons.

“Arise from the dark Gates of Gevina, my sworn friends.”

Though it does feel a little different from usual.

“Hey is it just me, or are today’s skeletons fancier than usual?”

They’re wearing tattered robes and have crowns and stuff on their heads. Wait, hang on, these guys look kinda familiar.

“Holy shit, are these guys all necromancers?”

“Yep, that’s right.” Parker turns toward me while he’s counting up his new army of a few hundred skeletons. “I can summon deceased spirits immediately, but with my mana, a few hundred skeletons is the limit of what I can call forth at once.”

“That’s already a ton.”

Plus, no other necromancer can summon up undead spirits immediately.

“But if I make the undead spirits I’ve summoned call up more undead on their own, I’m no longer limited by my mana capacity,” Parker makes a few hand signs as he responds to me. “Begin the ritual, my sworn friends. Show me the skills you so fiercely polished in life.”

Parker swings his arm down and the skeletal necromancers start chanting in a low hum while making a couple of complicated hand gestures. Are you seriously telling me these guys can use necromancy even though they’re dead? A few seconds later, the air around us starts to warp, and even more skeleton soldiers pop up out of the ground. They’re all wearing super old armor from like a dozen eras ago.

“Hang on, these guys can summon skeletons instantly too!?”

“They are ancient masters of our craft, after all. Starting from the far left, that’s the Burial Lord, Vicrea. Then there’s the Master of Spirits, Kilgol, and next to him is the Miasma Emperor, Pededotok. Over there you’ve got the Bone King, Gusforitus, and.
