Tomb Survival: Evolve from Skeleton

Kress showed an indescribable regret, as if he had experienced such a thing before...

"Actually, it's okay not to say..."

Kieran Wade spoke with a hint of ease. He didn't give Kress any chance to breathe. The silver long sword "Frost" instantly lifted the sword and shield, and the whole silver long sword swung horizontally with sword energy. ...

Kress... decapitated.

"... Anyway, after killing you, I can get that thing from you."

Kieran Vader's last words sounded in Kress' ears...

This was perhaps the first time that Kress had felt so intimately... the rapid, real and powerless death.

The white skull of the skeleton flies into the sky and spins several times.

Kress could still see his body in broken knight armor, kneeling powerlessly on the ground...

Dilly and Louise fell in a pool of blood...

Jane and Tom, who have long died...

And Jack, who was completely pierced by the body...

……

Kieran Wade in front of his body slowly withdrew his sword.

That silver long sword exuding arcane power is so weird and terrifying...

"Am I going to die again?"

At this time, Kress, who was dying and his consciousness gradually blurred, slowly thought in his mind...

"Actually, this is pretty good, at least... I can see... Yi Yali again..."

……

The white skeleton lying powerless on the ground emitted a familiar and strange light...

Back in time.

Everything that is happening now seems to stand still at this moment.

"Kieran Vader..."

"I will remember you. Moreover, with my move, you absolutely did not...·"

Kress's consciousness has been blurred, but he still can't forget Kieran Vader.

In the next moment, when Kress regained consciousness again, in front of him was the depths of the burial cave...

Beside her was Dilly who was resting on her pillow.

……

"No...back to that time?"

Kress looked at the beautiful woman who was resting on his shoulder, but he felt an indescribable sense of loss in his rejoicing.

It may be that Dilly was disturbed by her self-talk, or it may be that Dilly has rested enough...

"Mr. Kress..."

Dili woke up and rubbed her eyes. Now that she just woke up, she didn't have the invisible pressure that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts...

Yes, just like a beautiful cat scratching people, stretched lazily, and continued——

"...Why did I sleep for so long, now, do I continue to go down? Mr. Kress...how about you?"

Looking at Kress in front of him who seemed to be in a trance, Dilly noticed something strange, and couldn't help asking quickly.

And Kress just shook his head slightly...

"Dilly... you're awake."

"very nice……"

Kress's deep voice seemed to have other feelings for Dilly for the first time, and he continued——

"...Let's go, get out of here first."

"Get out of here? Don't go any further? Maybe, Kress-sama's undead companion..."

"Not here..."

Kress responded lightly, as if he had already confirmed it...

"...Moreover, I have sensed a very threatening human aura that is approaching us, let's leave here first."

Kress said, and then, as if it was too late to explain, he gently pulled Dilly's wrist over, and quickly left the cave...

Dilly was a little confused by Kress's words with such conviction, but...

But she couldn't raise any doubts about Kress' words.

Moreover, in her heart, because of being pulled away by Kress, she would have a strange feeling of inexplicable excitement...

……

Beyond the Bone Cavern.

Kress took Dilly to hide in the distant jungle.

In fact, even for Kress, it is difficult to be completely sure that he will not be discovered by Kieran Vader, the head of the "Cold Iron" mercenary group, but...

He has a hunch...

If you try to leave at this time, it will be the most dangerous.

……

Entrance to the Burial Cavern.

A large number of mercenaries came here.

It is still coming and going like the wind as before, and the speed of the elite war horse is far beyond the comparison of ordinary humans.

In the path that the mercenaries consciously gave way to, Kieran Vader came to the burial cave.

"Two people, go in and have a look..."

That faint voice seems to be able to maintain elegance and restraint all the time.

As soon as Kieran Vader's words fell, the mercenary team immediately dismounted two well-equipped professional mercenaries such as "Rangers" who were good at scouting.

Changing from the long spear and unsheathing the short blade in their hands, the two mercenaries quickly searched into the cave...

The reason why this "Bone Burial Cave" is famous in Hesmu City is not because of how powerful the monsters inside it are...

On the contrary, it is because the monsters inside are generally not strong enough, so it is more suitable for a large number of new adventurers to come...

Then it became more and more famous among many adventurers...

And as the elite "Cold Iron" mercenary next to Kieran Vader, he can naturally have no fear of the undead and monsters here.

After a while, the mercenary who is good at detecting the "Ranger" profession has returned...

"Reporting to the leader, a large number of low-level undead were killed in the burial cave, and there were no adventurers, but... no strong fighters similar to the swordsmen mentioned by the leader were found."

"As for the aura of the strong, there is only a skeleton archmage deep in the burial cave..."

Silently listening to the reports of the two detection mercenaries, Kieran Vader couldn't help pinching his chin slightly with one hand, muttering to himself——

"There are no adventurers, and there are still a large number of low-level undead remains... It seems that they should have been here..."

After saying that, Kieran Vader glanced at the almost endless plain in the distance...

Except for the tiny mountain range in the "Bone Burial Cave", the surrounding areas connected to the surrounding cities are basically plains...

"On the plain, even the undead who don't get tired, as long as they don't leave for too long, it's impossible for them to outrun the elite war horses that burst out at an extremely fast speed! If..."

After much thought.

Kieran Wade unfolded the map in his hand, and then glanced at the deep cave in front of him. The elegant and indifferent temperament of the whole person was intoxicating.

"It seems that he is still a cunning mouse who is good at hiding."

Almost at the same time, a warcraft carrier pigeon dedicated to the royal family of the kingdom flew from the sky.

After the mercenary took out the letter from the carrier pigeon's feet and handed it to Kieran Wade, looking at the letter, the smile on Kieran Wade's handsome face deepened...

"Things are getting more and more interesting..."

Kieran Wade said lightly, and at the same time took back the map, and ordered to the mercenaries——

"It seems that the people on the royal side of Wangcheng are ready. You have to go to Wangcheng first, you... have other tasks."
