Chapter 1502: Chapter 921: Tomb King Nite Ahead_2

"I came to the Giant Tomb searching for the traces of the Sun, just taking a moment to rest nearby. Don’t you think this place is too dangerous? That’s why I thought to stay here temporarily and help out a bit. See, isn’t this helping you guys?"

Maru glanced at the heap of skeleton monsters coming to life like a football team, nodding her head like a pecking chick, and said, "Thank you so much, I’m deeply moved."

Without Solar here, facing this situation would probably leave one completely "immobile."

Leon kicked down several skeletons in front of him, too occupied to turn his head but bursting with curiosity, he asked, "Why would you come to a tomb looking for the Sun?"

"Tomb King Nite and King Gwyn are both great figures who ended the Ancient Dragon Era. His tomb is worth exploring."

Solar threw the Giant Thunder Spear forward with perfect form, blasting the approaching Rolling Wheel into pieces. Nevertheless, several struck Leon’s group, who struggled to fend off becoming mere speed bumps.

"Besides, it looks like you could use some help here, right?"

His words nearly warmed everyone’s hearts, what a super warm-hearted guy.

Everyone felt touched for a moment, then continued to deal with the endless skeletons in front.

Even with Solar’s help, this area was still not easy to handle.

Because Solar wasn’t an all-powerful cheat code issued to adventurers by the Sain Dungeon.

He was more like a guide post pointing the right way.

When giant skeletons capable of firing Light Cannons appeared or when the number of monsters clearly exceeded the adventurers’ capacity, Solar would crush them with thunder, often at the last moment, creating a tense atmosphere.

If an adventurer is clever and skilled enough, they could lure monsters together for Solar to deal with, but this requires a lot of micro-managing skills, which no one thinks about now.

Though he handles monsters efficiently, Solar’s ability to explore the terrain clearly doesn’t match adventurers.

He follows their actions, seldom speaks up, even when adventurers take the wrong path, mostly acting as a fallback.

So, Solar’s presence reduced the difficulty from "insurmountable" to "challenging." For Leon and his team, it’s still an arduous challenge.

When they reached the central area, with no roads left but to move forward, Solar suddenly advised:

"You’d better start running now."

"What?" They didn’t quite catch it.

But then, the ground began to tremble and rumble.

It’s as if something massive and heavy was awakening!

Dal, who first sensed something, looked down towards the cliff below; his calm expression showed twitching signs, with a word squeezed from his mouth:

"Run."

"Boom!"

A giant skeletal hand smashed the road behind them, causing cracks to appear on the ground that could collapse at any moment.

"What is that!"

Maru shivered, hurriedly slapping Leon’s back urging him to run.

Without time to see what it was, they all sprinted, survival instinct overcoming all questions.

The giant hand, formed from the bones of numerous skeleton monsters, rose from the abyss below the cliffs.

Marks left on it from fighting skeleton monsters lingered on its surface.

When Leon briefly glanced downward, he saw an enormous skeletal head slowly emerging from the darkness.

Silently, it opened its sharp teeth towards them, with a hand formed by the assembly of skeleton monsters reaching from the dark towards the living!

"Could it be the monsters we’ve knocked down?!"

"How can it merge?!"

Even the Fran Guard couldn’t help but shout.

"Stop talking, keep running, get to the Fog Gate to be safe!"

The massive skeleton’s destructive power was unparalleled; stone roads shattered on touch, a hand formed by skulls loomed overhead, crashing down like a small mountain.

It was as if the giant bones buried in Galide had come alive.

"Is this Tomb King Nite’s doing?!"

Just then, Solar fired the Giant Thunder Spear at the skeletal hand; with a boom, the hand shattered under the thunderbolt’s furious power, yet the force injured several adventurers.

No one dared to stop running, bursting forth with unprecedented speed towards the Fog Gate.

As they were about to reach it, the skeletal hand shattered the road ahead, sending a fast-running Fran Guard flying into the Abyss.

"Jump!"

Leon acted promptly, throwing a Hook Lock to grab the Fog Gate’s edge as he leaped forward.

Charged with magic, the Hook Lock pulled him across swiftly, crossing the distance and crashing into the Fog Gate!

His heart leapt; before he could see the wonders inside, his companions rushed in, looking rather disheveled.

With just a glance, it was clear unfortunate Tal and a Fran Guard had fallen behind, likely unable to catch up.

"Everyone watch out, something’s coming!"

Trying to shake off the dizziness, Leon quickly rose, facing the monsters beyond the Fog Gate.

Everyone hurriedly got up too, pulling out their weapons with hearts still racing.

The appearance of the giant skeleton was completely unexpected; no one foresaw the awaiting monster.

They were never told Tomb King Nite could merge monsters like a fusion card.

The giant skeleton seemed powerful enough to single-handedly defeat Greg, far larger than Overlord Vonier, had it not been for Solar’s intervention, capable of firing Light Cannons.

One wonders the strength of Tomb King Nite himself when his skeleton monsters are this powerful.

Then, a strange laughter echoed from the gloomy space ahead.

"Hehehe—"

The laugh was a mixture of a woman’s, an old man’s, and a youth’s voice, as if forcibly blended into one.

They discovered the cave walls adorned with masks of varied shapes, each watching them with hollow eyes as the laughter grew closer, intensifying to near frenzy.

Maru couldn’t help swallowing hard, growing afraid of emerging creatures from the dark.

A spark lit in the darkness, drawing all eyes towards it as something emerged....

[Three Corpse Warlocks]

"..."

Maru rubbed her furrowed brows, suddenly relieved and smiling.

A moment later.

When the rearguard Solar entered the Fog Gate, he saw everyone rummaging through the Corpse Warlocks’ legacy: three ugly masks.

"A Corpse Warlock who stole the power of the Tomb King met a deservedly tragic end."

"Solar, let’s take this path," Leon gestured, pointing to a door revealed upon the death of the Corpse Warlocks in the wall, appearing to lead deeper underground.

But then, Solar, being a Spiritual Body, began to disappear.

Everyone looked saddened by this unexpectedly brief assistance.

Before vanishing, Solar pointed to the other side of the room.

There, lay a half-opened sarcophagus.

"What’s there?"

Leon asked, puzzled, as it seemed just an ordinary coffin, not even a hint of light within.

"A choice facing a meeting,"

Solar’s farewell echoed around as he faded.
