Chapter 557: Trekking towards the Doomsday

(Trudging towards the apocalypse.

The Ranger, born from the Evergreen Mountains, often said this while setting up camp before each sunset, gazing at the deep red slash across the horizon with such sighs, describing in his own words as a "quite romantic notion" — it was the greatest courage and the utmost romance in the world as the apocalypse approached.

However, neither courage nor romance could halt the steps of death. The Ranger fell at the last kilometer before the crossroad, a malevolent arrow piercing his chest, an ironic death — the master of the bow died by the bow.

The Necromancer dealt with the ambushing assailants, two ragged corpses; they had lain in wait on the road, launching a sinister attack as the team approached. The undead "Trait" of having no breath or heartbeat had eluded the Ranger's scouting, and the wind had masked the stench they emitted, creating yet another tragic mishap, just like every farewell along the way.
