Chapter 1085: Gathering dark energy
"Step back." I turned and said to Klein and the others.
Though I gave them an order, it didn't seem like they were going to follow it as Klein and the other guards just stood there.
But I knew that wasn't because they were going against me.
They were still standing there because I was still standing there. They were still standing there because they were protecting me from the undead in case anything happened.
With a faint smile, I said, "I'm moving back too."
At that, they revealed awkward looks before stepping away from the undead with me.
Once we took several steps back, I turned back to the undead and started focusing on them. As I did, the dark energy that came from the Orb of the Dead seemed to become stronger until it was almost as dark as the energy that the lich released before.
Seeing this, Klein and the others looked like they were worried again, but I raised my hand to them and said, "I'm fine, I'm just using a bit more power."
They looked at me with skeptical looks, but it seemed like I was in control, so they didn't say anything and waited to see what happened.
This denser dark energy was released from the Orb of the Dead and it went to where the undead were standing. Since it was so dense, it was actually visible to the naked eye and the others were all able to see the dark energy flowing over towards the undead.
That dark energy didn't gather under all of the undead, it just gathered under a single one.
The rest of the undead also moved away when this dark energy gathered under that one skeleton that was chosen. With the way that they were trembling, it was almost as if they were afraid of the dark energy that was there.
However, that skeleton stood there as if this dark energy wasn't doing anything to it.
With the way that it stood there, it was almost as if it was excited to see this dark energy.
This Death Knight that I raised with the knowledge from the lich was one that had been raised not that long ago, so it hadn't developed its power properly. At the same time, this Death Knight was one that was raised with my dark energy.
This dark energy wasn't even close to being at the same level as the lich, so naturally this Death Knight was weaker.
But weaker as it may be, it was still a fully fledged Death Knight.
It wasn't considered that weak either.
Klein and the others came forward when they saw me fall forward slightly, but I raised my hand and said, "I'm fine, I'm just a bit tired from using the Orb of the Dead."
They looked at me with concerned looks, but they didn't force it when they saw that I was still able to stand. Instead, they turned their attention to the Death Knight as if they were on guard against it still.
But there was something that I wanted to test.
I looked at Klein and asked, "Do you want to fight it?"
Klein was caught off guard by this sudden question, but looking at me for a few seconds, he slowly gave a nod.
He actually had the idea of fighting this thing since he wanted to see how strong it was, but he had held back because he thought that this would be inappropriate.
He definitely never thought that I would offer him this fight.
I just gave a nod before saying, "Go on then. Be careful, it can follow orders, but they are simple orders. Don't get caught off guard and stop if you think that it's in danger."
With that, I turned to the Death Knight and said, "Spar with him."
The Death Knight seemed to react after hearing this before turning to look at Klein with red glowing eyes.
Klein gave a gulp when he saw this, but there was an excited look that appeared on his face at the same time.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
