Twas the night before Christmas, noise echoed through the house. Embarrassnt started brewing, as Ikarus moaned at her future spouse...
"*Sighhh*... always the sa with you Petra. It's appearance over practicality like usual"
"Heh, you barely feel the cold though Ikarus. Give a spin since you look cute"
"No..."

---FYI, I'm using the holidays as an excuse to slack off so uploads will probably be sporadic this upcoming week. Happy holidays everyone and don't drink too much! I'm a hypocrite so I'm ignoring said advice...

"Uh, this place seems scary"
"Heh, slight understatent Ariza. You don't have to look so happy about this though Ikarus"
"I'm not Petra! It's just that this sort of place was sothing I expected, that happy Elysium place was unsuitable for the Underworld. This is definitely more like it"
"Even I don't understand orangey's tastes here, this place just looks shit. Like a necromancer's wet dream or sothing"
(Geld) "Funny you should say that Zeki, my master did ntion once all undead are summoned from the Asphodel adows"
"adows? But there's no flowers or even life here?"
"Maybe the spikes are supposed to be flowers Lotte? There is a lot of dead shrubbery around, the na probably isn't literal though"
Now fully healed up and ready to go, we've just entered the doorway to the next Underground region and boy, this place definitely looks more suitable for this place.
Standing on top of a huge rock overlooking Asphodel, what presents us is a huge, flat but lifeless wasteland vast as the eye can see, also containing these small rocky spikes and deceased plant life. The darkened sky itself adds to the ominous atmosphere, the lighting that repeatedly strikes the land in the distance makes it feel even more terrifying.
"So, we'll have to fight off the hordes of the undead then? Pretty sure I can just make out the next gate way over there"
"Heh, your eyesight is probably the best out us all Ikarus so that's where we'll head"
Should also ntion the skeletons roaming about aimlessly, countless different shapes and sizes coming from any sort of creatures corpse imaginable. This place still has the ghastly souls that reside in the Underworld but it almost looks like they're trying to hide or stay out of sight from the undead, are they policing or hunting the souls? Not really about all that sure.
"Anyways, let's get on with this then"
"Heh, catch Ikarus"
"What..."
Slowly climbing down the rocks with leading, Petra can't help but 'accidently' slip and sohow ends up being princess carried within my arms. Normally, I like this sort of thing but not when we're literally about to fight the entire goddamn skeleton army!
"...You know Petra, sotis you really make wonder"
"Heh, that better be in a good way Ikarus. You also make wonder as well"
Putting her down before having a quick kiss and trying my best not to scoff at the joy of a woman alongside , we gradually make our way to the first batch of skeletons after passing one of the rocky spikes around Asphodel.
Ahead of us is a small squadron of boney creatures all approaching not looking best pleased from us intruders. I'm getting the vibe this may be easy but I'm not overconfident enough to neglect a fight.
Putting out an arm and releasing a good burst of fla all over ahead of us, my suspicions are all but confird when the shattering of bones occurs and most of the forces collapse onto the ground adding more death into this place. I barely charged up the flathrower there as well.
Even the few to the side get swiftly burnt up by Zeki and Petra, just how weak are these undead to fla? It reminds a little of how video gas do it, skeletons are always either too powerful or too weak. In this case, it's obvious the answer.
"Heh, don't jinx it Ikarus. We all know what you're thinking"
"Uh huh, Petra is right Ikarus"
'Look at Ariza ganging up on as well'
"I erm... imma just stay quiet this ti then"
"Orangey doesn't have to jinx it, these bastards are worthless fodder only fit for becoming a wolf's treat"
At least I'm not the one setting a red flag now, it just has to be Mr obnoxious doing it this ti around. When we co across a skeletal mammoth or dragon now, he can be blad.
After Zeki can't help but do what I'm best at, another group of undead makes a way to our travelling party and like the first, have greatly superior numbers to our seven.
Once again, us mages now including Charlotte let out our usual spells of choice and like the first ti, all the skeletons collapse with no issues whatsoever. This place is clearly going to be a breeze until we co across sothing different, more and more skeletons appear to be approaching again all as weak as the last. As much as we all love overpoweredness, this isn't even worth it. The fight is basically form a line, spray magic everywhere and the undead collapse. I get that the Underworld needed so foes like this but still.
'That's the second group of these done. Now, only a few thousand more to go, no point wasting too much ti on this...'
