After the cringe of the pale man's words passed, the fear remained but no one dared to say anything about it.
Max and Cedric were already piecing together an escape route, using the red crystal to recover when they heard the pale man speak.
Arise
Whoosh
A powerful air erupted from about the pale man, rushing forward with vengeance and touching every corner of the great hall.
Before Max could figure out what was happening, they heard a pop sound causing them to whip their necks to its origin.
They immediately swallowed spittle at the sight.
Elena's guards were revived, but not in the way she wanted.
They had turned into the undead with their skin beyond rotten and their eyes sunken.
It was gruesome seeing them growl like animals, wielding their Artefacts while directing killing intent at Max and co.
Elena stared at them as though electrified, tears fell from her eyes but it was at that moment she realized what she had done.
Instead of saving them, she doomed her family.
