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.
