Li-ming: Only I I have known you are going to do that to the Skeleton King, I would be reserving my magic.

Li-ming says as she watches Shang who is separating the equipment from Leoric’s headless corpse.

The plan was simple. Creating a skeleton centipede which is based on Shang’s idea to bridge the gap, Shang and those who were quick enough to cross, Kharazim, Valla and Li-ming got to the other side of the gap.

Nazeebo could cross the gap without any help if he used Spirit Walk but the group would need to bring his physical body first, so he remains with the others to deal with the summoned skeletons.

Shang then placed a device around Leoric’s neck when they reached the throne where the corpse of King Leoric is seated. The moment Leoric revived and stood on his feet after Shang had placed the crown on the head, the device activated and decapitated him with inner magical blades. Shang sealed the spirit with a yellow talisman before the headless body could reach it.

Shang: Well, it’s alright to be safe...Argh... Finally, it separated... than sorry,

Shang says as he managed to separate Leoric’s Armor into front and rear pieces without damaging them.

Nazeebo: A pity, Leoric’s head would be a good magical tool.

Nazeebo says as he looks at the crowned head which is placed on one side with a yellow talisman on its forehead.

This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.

Shang: Sorry, I need that as a vessel for the Leoric’s spirit. I can pass it to you once I am done with it.

Nazeebo: It’s alright. The spirits say the head is tainted with madness and it is best not to contact any spirits, else they will go mad and attack me.

Shang: You hear that, Eucliwood?

Shang says to Eucliwood who is already turning some of Leoric’s bones into a weapon.

Eucliwood: Nothing affects death.

Eucliwood says while binding the bones together using essence.

The group later divided the equipment among themselves. Valla, Jondar, Eucliwood and Nazeebo does not need them as long there are materials, they can make suitable equipment for themselves. Leoric’s bones are just what they need.

Li-ming takes the Wrath of the Bone King before turning it into one-handed Mad Monarch's Scepter. The remaining equipment goes to Kharazim, Sonya, Johanna, Kormac as they depend on loot from killing monsters.

After the loot sharing, Shang finds a secret switch that activates the stairway which leads further down to the Desolate Chamber.

As the group enters the chamber, they see a figure lying in the middle of the crater of the fallen star.

Sonya: Shang…

Shang: Yeah?

Sonya: Is there anything in lores that says anything about creatures from fallen stars?

Shang: Nothing.

Sonya: …. So If we take down this thing, everything should go back as it was?

Shang: Sonya, you should know some things cannot be undone.

Sonya:....

Li-ming: Instead of just talking, isn't it faster if we just go down and check it out?

Li-ming teleports down after saying.
