"This undead spearman will be annoying later. If we encounter more we will need to deal with them first since they can use their own bones to hurt us and keep hurting us." Walker made sure to warn the soldiers and his party. He wanted everyone to know that the bones thrown would still harm them since the undead would repair its body and take back the thrown bone causing another injury. 

"The wound was much worse because the bone was shifting within the healer\'s body. I Was able to help remove and stabilize them while they healed their body." Su affirmed this and ensured that there would be more damage if someone hadn\'t helped remove the bone. It was just worrisome since the healer was lucky they had been hit in the stomach and not in the ribs where the lungs were. 

"So basically, you want me to rush ahead and crush any of those born throwing undead? They Were slow so that should be fine." Remey just shrugged a little. She wasn\'t taking it lightly but she was certain that they would be able to develop a stronger tactic to beat the undead now that they knew about the greater range of skills they had. 

"We will be joining your group. The remaining passageways aside from where we came are safe. The rest of our group has joined and we are prepared to move forward with greater speed." The Fel angel and the Rize angel with the soldiers from Genesis had taken a balanced leading role. Since the two had been placed in the same group, they had made sure to stop one another from conflict. 

This brought about an interesting balance when it came to their values. The Rize angel had at first, wanted to ignore the Fel angel and take over. Yet, the more they spoke the more similar their orders were. Especially when the Fel angel explained that they were a light mage. It made things easier since the two could actually work together with long and close range light elemental attacks. 

From that point, the two were fine with splitting up their duties. The Genesis soldiers hadn\'t even argued. They all understood that the angels had a better handle on this continent than they did. From their standpoint, Genesis was just there to assist as well. With that being the general understanding, the only differences had been in what the Fel angel wanted to learn about light magic skill from, Genesis. The Rize Empire angel showed the same though. 

The light elemental hall held too many secrets and the Genesis forces didn\'t hide much at all. They were transparent and honest, allowing for both the angels to glean some knowledge from what the Genesis forces shared. It was a way for the Rize angel to grow and surpass the limits that their elemental hall placed on them. It was also a way for the Fel angel to learn more and research deeper than before. 

"Good, I wanted all of you to come. We have another passageway we scouted but that should connect to the largest grand hall passageway that was found earlier." Walker was glad that they had their plan together. But he was worried that Alice had not come yet. She had been leaving light elemental mana to purify the last ritual room. While it was important, it should have only taken her another song or two to perform the task. Therefore, Walker wanted to go back and check on her, she might be with Gil and Midnight after they had scouted ahead. 

Without needing to say much, the soldiers came in to formation behind the party and followed to the previous room. The room was still filled with some light mana and signs that light elemental runes had been made by Alice\'s singing were clear. But what Walker found was that Alice was singing a song that created a shield over the entrance of the passageway that Midnight and Gil had scouted. Meanwhile, Gil and Midnight were seemingly preparing themselves for a battle. 

"Good, you are back and you found more people. We have a big one ahead of us. Over a hundred mummified worshippers, multiple priests, and a bunch of those mummified amalgamations. They also have a ton of sacrificial blood and body parts. This is going to be bad." Gil tightened the wrappings on his hand and adjusted his arrow quiver. He was going to be able to use his arrows since the room ahead was so large. 

"That bad?" Su sounded less like she was asking a question and more like she was preparing to battle mentally. Facing so many enemies was the same as starting a battle of war. But the conditions were worse. They were isolated within the underground ruins. The undead were at an advantage. 

"Bad" Midnight growled out the word as light elemental mana seemed to flash between her scales. With Alice\'s assistance, she had managed to gather much more light elemental mana while she waited for the rest to arrive. Her seriousness was strict, the light in her eyes proved that she was ready to fight more than before. 

"Alright, then we can\'t waste any time. Alice, thank you for blocking the passageway. We are going to march right down there." Alice gave a slight nod and ceased her song. She was not tired in the least yet, but the light elemental crystals had begun to run out. That meant that she would be more limited as time went on. Luckily, Walker had ensured that many were gathered from the crystal bed under the sand. Their quality was still very low, but that was fine. They were helping immensely. 

"Stay behind me. I will need you to be my sword in this battle." Su made sure that Alice took a place behind her. She was sure that Alice could attack while using her song of swords. That way, Su could remain defending and use her light shield skill. They would double the usage of light elemental mana by recycling the mana that radiated in to the air. Alice\'s attacks would deal stronger damage because they would be affected by Su\'s skill and Su\'s shield would be stronger because of Alice\'s songs. 

"I will take a place behind you too. I plan to bring out an arrow I worked on a little while ago." Gil smirked. He had been looking for ways to reuse some of the partially damaged arrows that he had fired before. Some would be destroyed, some needed basic repairs, but others were left as an irreparable but still usable mess. His idea had left him with a lot of free time tinkering that finally resulted in something he wouldn\'t use against real people or monsters because of the dangers that came from it. 

"Another new arrow? You really have it in your head to become an elf outright, huh?" Remey teased Gil just like any other day, but when Gil looked at her, she was a little worried. 

"The arrows I will use are a bit more dangerous, so just stay where I can see you and hide if you need to. Hopefully we can make use of all the light mana that will be around due to these two and the angels behind us." Gil was dead serious. Walker didn\'t even bother saying anything since he was so interested too. 

"The flow of the runes that we noticed in the past rooms were all going toward these large pillars. I believe that there are more rooms below us. By the way some other runes are carved suggest a field of protection. Especially from light elemental mana and any interference otherwise." The light mage for the Fel empire saw the runes that Alice had made with a song/. He had been amazed by the versatility of the songstress and wondered just how powerful songs and mana could be together.

But he had also wanted to share his own research thus far. "Yes, that makes sense. We have a theory that this is just a massive stone protection or dome. There is most likely more undead and a ruined area beneath this. The sand wasn\'t always covering the ruins. We came in through the roof." Walker shared the theory more clearly and the soldiers along with the two angels looked like they fully understood. 

With this to think about, they could not fathom how large or how many undead were in this ruin. Yet, they also understood that disrupting such a large ritual chamber would do them good. They would stop the undead below from getting any stronger while also ensuring that they had more space to operate as soldiers. They would get much closer to their own goals from this point on without having to worry about the undead reaching back up to the surface and harming their defending forces that remained behind.
