Chapter 102

Maxi hunched her shoulders. "D-Do you think it is the tomb of the dark mages?"

"I would appear so since it is unlikely that ordinary humans ever lived there." Unease flashed on Sejuleu's face. "The clerics will undoubtedly be appalled once they see it. The burial chamber is built like a shrine."

Maxi's face clouded. Had the dark mages built the tomb to purify their souls? After being banished and excommunicated, their greatest fear would have been an eternity of anguish as undead monsters. That was likely the reason behind attempting a purification spell of their own, and why their tomb resembled a shrine. The question was, had their efforts paid off?

Maxi's gaze drifted up to the castle tower, then back to Sejuleu. "Where are… the dark mages? Have they been dealt with already?"

"We have yet to meet one. We've scoured the entire city but have found no one resembling a mage. I suspect they may have fled after catching wind of the coalition army's plan to invade."
