I flew forward with the assistance of Air Magic, sting me forward and keeping me out of Flying Undead''s reach. Many had already spawned again, and it was all the same Death Birds and Undead wyverns.


    I weavedrge light Glyphs behind myself as I flew, and that killed most of them, but the further south I got, the worse it became. The creatures seemed to respawn the moment they died.


    This was the same for the ones on the ground that I fired massive exploding fireballs into. They all just started to climb back up out of the ground between the titan graves and a lone temple that was far off.


    There was someone standing on the front step of the temple, staring up at me as I flew with a curious look. To say that she was beautiful would have been a gross understatement for the creature that had her eyes locked with mine.


    Porcin white skin, long ck hair that was partially done up with bones in a bun, and a long white and ck dress. The eyes that stared at me were a strangebination of red and blue like nothing I had ever seen before.


    [She is beautiful, isn''t she?] Xieus asked, and I nodded.


    ''That she is, but I have to go see what is causing these Undead to spawn,'' I thought to Xieus.


    [I have always wondered about that but never really been that interested to find out more.] Xieus exined.


    ''Why is that? Why hasn''t anyone asked about this before? You heard Ka; she was surprised that I would ask a question like that. This stinks of Ritualistic Magic, and I am slowly getting more pieces of information to back up my im. If there is arge summoning circle under thend that was done using sacrifices, that could ce a haze over everyone. This type of magic should never be allowed, but these are just guesses,'' I exined, starting to pull inrge amounts of magic to convert into another Light Spear.


    [That is impossible. There is no one left in the world that can do that. Five hundred years ago, thest reincarnation killed all the Blood Witches of the Death Archipgo. That had been a woman, Xena, and she had died in the final battle. This is notmon knowledge for most. There was a great war with the Blood Witches, and most races were nearly wiped out. They had the ability to summon strange mind-consuming creatures that could destroy cities just by passing.] Xieus exined, and I nodded as I flew around a titan''s fist that swung at me.


    I needed to find out if there was a summoning circle here more than ever now. This could be a lot more dangerous than anyone understands, but the first step was uncovering the graves.


    The Undead was thicker than before this time, but this was where they were alling from. I arched up and shot up into the air, dropping eleration Glyphs behind me.


    ''If this is a summoning circle for an Elder Riftwalker, then we are in a lot of trouble. That also means that Xeno never died, and neither did all the Blood Witches. When did the Undead appear?'' I asked as I reached my peak.


    [That I don''t know, but I would assume about five hundred years ago. Do you really think that there could still be Blood Witches?!] Xieus asked in surprise as I flipped in the air and started to shoot back down, hitting all my Glyphs to make me hurtle at the ground.


    I smashed down with an earth-shattering explosion that evaporated the ground under me, but only down twenty feet. I hit a hard surface that was covered in glowing red lines, just like I had thought.


    Even after beingpletely obliterated, the Undead rose up from the massive Summoning Circle I had uncovered all around me. This confirmed my fear, but this wasn''t big enough to summon an Elder Riftwalker.


    ''Creatures that live to sow discord and mayhem don''t die easily, and Nemoria rarely lets go of a world. She is the Queen of the Riftwalkers and controls the Blood Witches. This is clearly her mark and means that there are more of these all over the world. Why haven''t the Goddesses known about this?'' I asked.


    [That is a good question. Surely they would know about something like this? I can''t speak for Goddesses; they don''t really like Demons, so we don''t have many pleasant interactions.] Xieus exined, and I understood that.


    ''I can''t stop this. I mean, I should be able to fight what is summoned, but we need to get everyone away from here. There are only three days left on this spell that has been ticking for five hundred years. It has been collecting the souls of those that have died on the walls. There was a reason why I was summoned to this world, and this has to be it,'' I exined, the Undead all rushing at me and started to grab at me.


    mes burst out from me to burn all the Undead, but they respawned just as fast, so I kept the spell going as I thought. The constant mes fired all the big ones, but they were starting to lessen.


    [So this is a summoning circle, but it isn''t for Undead, right?] Xieus asked, and I nodded.


    ''That is right, so I think that the next step in this investigation is to find out who or what is controlling Morgana. This is the one that is recasting these Summon Undead Spells, and that is why they are starting to lessen. I am pushing her ability to draw in magic, but no one but me should know how to do that. That is why I think that Xena is still alive and being controlled by Nemoria. This is typical Blood Witch tactics from my knowledge,'' I exined, leaping into the air as a burning ball of fire that the flying Undead continued to fly into.


    [I have talked to Morgana, and she wouldn''t hurt a fly! I am serious. She is the kindest creature that you will ever meet!] Xieus eximed, and I nodded as I flew to the distant temple.
