Chapter 277: The Risen (2)

It was something more valuable than the most enormous treasure horde anywhere in the world, new bodies.

With the realisation that they had been made whole again by passing into the chamber, another possibility entered their minds. If they escaped now, would they just revert back to their ethereal, ghostly forms? Was this only a temporary measure? It certainly seemed like it could be. There was a good chance that it was some kind of defensive action to guard the Necropolis.
