?Chapter 1248: Elite Sitting Position


    The “Sound Seeker Technique” had wall-detection capabilities that far exceeded Nnd Lee’s expectations.


    The stone wall was about two meters thick,posed of twoyers of heavy square stone bricks.


    There was almost no gap between the stone bricks, not even a de could prate.


    Under these circumstances, the sound waves of the “Sound Seeker Technique” still prated the stone wall, reaching the outside of the stone wall and entering the corridor adjacent to the Treasure Room.


    As for the lighting in the corridor, Nnd Lee did not know as sound waves could not capture information rted to light.


    But Nnd Lee was certain that the corridor was littered with bones, piled up more than half a meter high, which would likely be difficult for ordinary people to walk through such rough terrain. <div>


    ...


    As the sound waves transmitted further, more and more blurred scenes appeared in Nnd Lee’s mind, and he faintly detected a series of hurried and somewhat panicked footsteps.


    “There, about two hundred meters diagonally above my head, the footsteps areing from there,” he said.


    Nnd Lee tried to turn his head toward the source of the sound, but failed due to the Power of Senati.


    He gave up the attempt to concentrate on the sound source and grunted once more, releasing several more sound waves.


    The footsteps temporarily disappeared; the group of presumed creatures had stopped.


    About two secondster, a very familiar sound came from above, clear enough to be heard even without the “Sound Seeker Technique.”


    “Bang… Bang… Bang…”


    The dense gunfire was mostly blocked by the thick walls, only leaving behind sporadic, faint vibrations by the time they reached the Treasure Room where Nnd Lee was.


    “A battle has erupted above… Which group from the interster ships thatnded is exchanging gunfire with whom?” Nnd Lee pondered closely.


    From the sound of the battle, thebatants were using kic energy firearms, not excluding the use of quietly operated suppressive weapons such asser weapons.


    “Boom——”


    A more pronounced explosion urred, and a shower of dust fell from the ceiling.


    This must have been the disturbance caused by explosives.


    Nnd Lee released sound waves.


    The feedback from the “Sound Seeker Technique” stirred his thoughts slightly.


    The group of creatures engaged in gunfire had suddenly closed the distance to him.


    The space between them had reduced from the original vertical drop of two hundred meters to about one hundred fifty meters now.


    This happened after the explosion.


    So, the group was using explosivesto forcefully break through the floor of the underground building and move vertically downwards, trying to approach a target faster.


    Nnd Lee’s eyes swept over the gold and jewels in the Treasure Room, his skeleton face subtly changing color…


    Those guys wouldn’t being for him, would they?


    No, more precisely, they would being for the treasure beside him.


    Nnd Lee realized that his situation seemed somewhat perilous.


    He could not be sure if those armed with thermal weapons and explosives would spare him, this skeleton frame.


    With that thought, Nnd Lee decided to do something.


    He thought of the bones in the corridor, those things could serve as his casting materials.


    Provided he could, under the effect of the Power of Senati, activate Death Magic and summon Death Servants.


    Nnd Lee just thought to inquire with the “Heart of Magic” but suddenly felt a strange forceing from deeper underground, swiftly passing through the Treasure Room and nearby corridors.


    A line of System Text appeared in his mind.


    [Due to unknown factors, the duration of “Power of Senati” has been reduced to 6 minutes.]


    “Click, click, click…”


    A series of crisp sounds came from beneath the piled-up treasures, and arge group of bones emerged, forming several hundred hollow-eyed skeleton warriors.


    “Is this Death Magic?” Nnd Lee wondered internally.


    Given that the “Wizard” ne Core was still in the Inner Cosmos, and he was the only wizard in the Outer Space, he dismissed this spection.


    “It’s not Death Magic; I didn’t feel any fluctuations of Death Energy. It must be some other extraordinary power that can also awaken the dead, transforming these bone frames into skeleton warriors. My duration for the ‘Power of Senati’ must have been reduced because of this power,” he concluded.


    Nnd Lee quickly recalled the Outer Space knowledge imparted by the Scroll Angel.


    The Outer Space could be described as a melting pot, containing all kinds of extraordinary powers, among which there were many simr to Death Magic.


    There weren’t a few things capable of summoning skeleton warriors on arge scale.


    The Deities of the Dark Series of Gods, to which the Gatherer of the Dead belonged, basically all possessed the power to manipte death.


    Beyond that, all cosmic creatures rooted in death—such as Starry Sky Bone Behemoths, Death Floating Star Clusters, and the like—could also achieve this.


    The with the reddish-brown soil below did not look like cosmic behemoths.


    Thus, the power controlling the skeleton warriors was likely rted to the Dark Deities.


    Nnd Lee reached a preliminary conclusion.


    He huffed loudly and released a sound wave directed downwards.


    The sound wave, weakened by both the soil and stone bricks, performed considerably worse than it had detecting the corridor.


    Luckily, Nnd Lee was not entirely without findings.


    Directly below at about a thousand meters, he vaguely sensed a nefarious thought.


    Indeed, it was a nefarious thought.


    The mental impurity of this thought, along with the sound waves reflected by the “Sound Seeker Technique,” prated into Nnd Lee’s mind, causing him to see an undting sea of death made of bones.


    A system message also arrived at the same time.
