Kapitel 372: [372] The Empire[8]

You have entered the 18th floor.]

Elijah, completely exhausted, entered the 18th floor of the tower.

It was not as he expected. He had thought that maybe he would enter castle grounds…But it was a laboratory?

A ruined laboratory. It was quite expansive and seemed to possess a lot of grandeur originally…But none of that grandeur was found.

The obsidian ground lay cracked, rotting flesh littered the laboratory, and several columns crumbled down and lay destroyed. The various apparatus, magic circles, and crystals all lay ruined.

"..?"

Elijah was confused, he surveyed the laboratory. But found no trace of anything.

The laboratory lay decimated, there was nothing here…nothing!

*Tuk*Tuk*

Elijah grew alarmed at the sudden noise behind him, he turned around to see the skeleton of a mage walking towards him with the help of a staff.

[Are you tired?]

Its hollow voice echoed directly in Elijah's mind.

'Telepathy?!'

Elijah was shocked. The skeleton was using such high-ranked magic!
