Chapter 1375
One thing had happened right after another. I had barely had any time to think. I had originally thought that the bodies of everyone who died were completely digested. It turned out that this wasn’t the case. Instead, they were brought down where someone tended to bring bottoms, the catacombs under the castle.
How did I know we were in the catacombs? I pulled out the menu and was able to discover above us the area of the city. We were directly under the castle. As for how we could make it from the castle to where I was knocked out, the map didn’t give me that information. I had also tried to use Portal and found myself unable to make it through this junk. Twilight was trying to keep me from fleeing and was blocking that spell, I knew it.
That’s when I recalled someone I had completely forgotten, someone important. I lifted my hand, praying that this would work. Since I couldn’t Portal out, maybe I could bring someone to me.
“Summon monster!”
Terra was confused as I began to cast a spell, a magical circle forming on the floor as the spell took. That’s when a little girl seemed to appear from glowing light. She was curled into herself, her knees up and her head pressed down. Her body was shaking, and it looked like she was as terrified. I let out a breath as I looked down at the little girl. It hadn’t been sure it would work until that moment.
How long ago had I been split away from Sapphire? After taking me, the darkness had seemingly ignored her. Perhaps it feared that King Diorite had done something to her, in the same way, Gaia and managed to infect my soul. She was connected to his former dungeon, after all.
That would mean that she had been waiting abandoned in the darkness for seven days. Feeling a tinge of guilt, I kneeled and put my hand on her gently. She jerked at the touch, slowly looking up at me.
“I’m sorry I left you here, but I will always come back.” Her eyes turned watery, and then she jumped on me, wrapping her arms around mine.
“Another girl?” Terra sighed. “Aren’t they getting younger, Master?”
I cleared my throat. “Never mind that right now, Sapphire, I need you right now.”
The path we had blocked with waters of life and slowly been eaten away, and the lines of shadow creatures were starting to close in on us again. Sapphire seemed to understand the situation, and so she pulled away, wiping her tears and giving an assertive nod.
“What can she do?” Terra asked uncertainly.
“We have an army of shadows following us.” I declared to her. “Do you know what we could use? We could use our army.”
Terra continued to look confused, but Sapphire’s eyes brightened. She lifted her hands and then began to move them not unlike a puppeteer. A moment later, I could hear rattling and movement. There were countless forms scattered around that all started to move at once. The person I had tripped over suddenly started moving, ripping his way out of the concentrated miasma until he could stand before us. The dark shadows that were getting closer had frozen, seemingly caught off guard. All around us, the undead began to awaken.
