It felt less like a natural phenomenon and more like a deliberate extermination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if the Dark Tide had been unleashed specifically to annihilate them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The beasts were stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More vicious than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fidelia was not the only one who sensed it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ophelia sat slumped against the wall, nervousness etched deeply across her pale face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside her sat two of her sisters, both injured and exhausted.

If he had not been here, she could not imagine what would have happened to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps all of them would already be dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She trusted in her strength. She believed in her blades. But against the overwhelming tide of darkness, her confidence felt fragile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slowly, her gaze shifted to the illusory lantern floating above Thoren’s head, its ethereal light unwavering amidst the chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Is that part of his talent?’ she wondered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Isn’t he a necromancer?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’How could he possess something like this?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’...Is it possible that he has more than one talent?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thought left her unsettled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more she pondered it, the more absurd it seemed. She had never heard of anyone possessing more than a single talent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was considered impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Talents were tied to professions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And from what she could see, this illusory lantern had nothing to do with necromancy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite her curiosity, she never intended to question him.she was not in any position to pried into his secret. Just the act of him saving them was enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The battle continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fidelia’s muscles screamed in protest. Her nerves burned with exhaustion, but she refused to give up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I can’t show weakness while he’s watching,’ she screamed internally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She pushed herself harder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every strike placed immense strain on her body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her mana reserves were nearly depleted, yet she gritted her teeth and continued swinging. Sweat drenched her armor, mixing with blood—hers and the enemy’s alike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone in the lobby could hear the strain in her breathing, see how she was pushing herself beyond her limits, but no one spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ophelia and her sisters understood what their leader was trying to do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fidelia was protecting the last shred of pride they had left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they allowed Thoren to protect them like fragile flowers in a greenhouse, they would become nothing more than liabilities. Even if he never said it aloud, the feeling would remain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ophelia bit down hard on her lip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had just boasted that they were not as weak as he presumed but now, most of them were seated on the ground, injured and barely able to fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I can’t accept this...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shaking her head, she tried to stand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hng!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sharp pain tore through her shoulder, forcing a pained hiss from her lips.

To survive, they needed to accept the unexpected and pursue strength relentlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Weakness in the abyss was an unforgivable sin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Fidelia, she had already earned his recognition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He simply chose not to voice it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was a woman with a strong heart, unafraid of battle and willing to shoulder the burden of others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even strong wills had limits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thoren watched as her movements slowed. Her legs trembled violently. Her grip loosened, and her blade slipped from her fingers, clattering against the floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes rolled back as dizziness overtook her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She tried desperately to remain conscious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But her body gave out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as she collapsed, the ominous darkness hanging over the human settlement began to recede.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The darkness withdrew as swiftly as it had appeared, peeling away like a retreating tide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh—!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gasps echoed throughout the lobby as shock spread across their faces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They could hardly believe it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Dark Tide had retreated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Light flooded the town, washing away the suffocating atmosphere and dispelling the lingering terror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the first time in hours, they could breathe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And yet, the silence that followed felt heavier than the darkness itself.\u003C\u002Fp>",1249,"2026-06-03T10:41:31.766Z","2026-06-03T10:41:38.603Z",1,"novelbin.me","7e1a428cc02c8a73b2c8b15c858d47dc629739e487993a40f3bb9aeee4bfa4e8","global-survival-i-have-endless-skeletons-chapter-107","global-survival-i-have-endless-skeletons-chapter-105",326,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fglobal-survival-i-have-endless-skeletons-cover.jpg"]
