Nightmare World.
Evernight City.
The Imperial Palace.
Underworld Lord Micteticashiva, Earth Mother, Norton, and the Elves High Priest each stood in a corner.
The boundless fluctuations of power were fading away.
The ground opened.
A skeleton rose into the air.
"Well? Did it work?" the Elves High Priest asked.
"I've used all my Power of the Earth. If it still doesn't work, there's nothing more I can do." Earth Mother sighed.
"It should have worked. The combined power of our Four Races can accomplish that legendary feat-history explicitly records it," Norton said.
"My child, are you awake?" Underworld Lord Micteticashiva asked.
The skeleton in midair spoke. "Mother, I'm awake."
"Then get down here!" Micteticashiva snapped.
Big Skeleton hurriedly landed and bowed to each of the four.
"Combining the full power of the Four Races really pushed a skill beyond its limits?"
Norton asked curiously.
"Yes, we succeeded," Big Skeleton said.
"Which skill did you choose?" Underworld Lord Micteticashiva asked eagerly.
"Undead Resurrection," Big Skeleton said.
"What effect does it have beyond its limits?" the Elves High Priest asked.
"Everyone, watch closely-"
Big Skeleton spoke in the tone of someone showing off a treasure.
Under everyone's gaze.
He recited an incantation and reached into the void, pulling out a black gravestone.
Thud!
The heavy gravestone landed, cracking the floor in several places.
"Who has a bomb?"
Big Skeleton asked, rubbing his hands.
"I do." Norton took out a black iron box.
"Let me borrow it."
Big Skeleton took the bomb, clamped it between his teeth, then sprang into the air, leaped out the window, and landed in the garden outside.
He summoned a flame with a finger bone and lit the bomb's fuse.
Boom-
A violent explosion rang out.
Big Skeleton was blasted into bone fragments that flew everywhere.
Before anyone
