"..."

From the direction of the Undying Altar, a figure shrouded in deathly pale moonlight shot toward them in a curving streak.

Klee Gler had torn down a stone pillar made of supernatural material and was scraping off its decorative coating of First Ring cloud iron with his claws.

The Undead Skeleton paused. Seeing
