Thud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The heavy sound of footsteps echoed through the tense and silent area, while his breathing overlapped with each step and created a dreadful rhythm that refused to fade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walking across the unnaturally smooth surface, Thoren wore a grave expression as his eyes scanned every direction with sharp vigilance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could hear the sound of heartbeats all around him, and each pulse seemed to echo through the empty space like a haunting drum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It felt as if dozens of versions of himself existed at once, each one breathing, stepping, and thinking in perfect synchronization with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet no matter where he looked, he found nothing but empty space staring back at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tried to soften his footsteps and reduce the sound, but the effort proved completely futile as whatever was mimicking him replicated even the smallest detail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every shift of weight and every breath he took was echoed perfectly, leaving no difference between the original and the imitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was being observed in a way that felt invasive and precise, as though invisible eyes dissected his every movement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even his shallow breathing could not escape the mimicry, and that realization sent a chill deep into his spine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the sound had come from a single direction, he would have tried to track it, isolate it, and destroy its source without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the sound surrounded him entirely, coming from every direction at once and leaving him with no clear target.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt exposed and vulnerable, like prey stripped of all cover and placed under a predator’s gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That thought alone unsettled him deeply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with five undead servants surrounding him in a tight formation, he did not feel secure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their presence provided physical protection, yet it did nothing to ease the growing tension in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, he forced himself to calm down while pushing his perception to its absolute limit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He needed to identify whatever was playing this twisted game with him, because once he found it, escape would no longer be an option for his enemy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, no matter how hard he searched, he discovered nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The smooth surface beneath his feet remained pristine and empty, reflecting no sign of movement or disturbance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This approach was clearly not working, and he knew it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, the mimicked voices echoed once again, each one sounding exactly like his own voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where are the rare treasures, why can I not find them?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I cannot continue like this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am tired.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah, my leg.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am going to die.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please save me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, do not move.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thoren listened to the voices that sounded identical to his own, and his breathing grew heavier as tension built within his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was being mocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everywhere he turned, the same voice followed him, repeating his thoughts, his fears, and his frustrations without pause.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to shout and demand that whatever was hiding reveal itself, but he suppressed the urge with sheer will.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he allowed himself to lose control, he would fall directly into whatever trap had been set for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he remained in this state, he would eventually be worn down mentally until he collapsed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That outcome was unacceptable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, he opened his undead space and summoned one hundred undead servants onto the smooth ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The once empty area was instantly filled with motionless figures, their hollow eyes burning faintly with soul fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, the mimicked voices vanished completely, and the oppressive atmosphere shifted into an eerie silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air became still, and even the faint echoes that had filled the space earlier disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It felt as though the ruin itself had recognized the sudden increase in presence and chosen to withdraw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this reaction, the corner of Thoren’s lips curved upward slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without wasting any time, he focused his attention on one of his elite undead servants and activated his newly acquired skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bone Mirror.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was his first time using the ability, and anticipation surged through him as he established the connection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Almost instantly, he felt a slight drain on his mental energy, and his vision shifted as he began to see through the eyes of the undead servant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sensation was strange and disorienting, as though his consciousness had been divided into two separate bodies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a brief moment, his thoughts felt scattered, but his mind quickly adjusted to the unfamiliar perspective.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He realized that maintaining the Bone Mirror required constant concentration, and any lapse in focus could sever the connection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, his heightened perception allowed him to remain aware of his original body while observing through the undead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After stabilizing the link, he directed the undead servant to move away from the group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The undead servant walked forward with steady strides, and Thoren observed everything clearly through its vision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as the undead servant distanced itself from the group, the mimicked voices returned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sigh, I need to be careful.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What rotten luck.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why can I not find any rare treasure?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, Thoren remained completely unaffected by the voices.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead of reacting, he listened carefully, analyzing every detail and waiting for any sign of inconsistency.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He reached the edge of the smooth area and noticed patches of red dry grass stretching outward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sight puzzled him, as the contrast between the smooth surface and the brittle vegetation felt unnatural.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, he commanded the undead servant to uproot one of the red grasses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the grass was torn from the ground, a sharp and piercing shriek echoed through the atmosphere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mimicked voices vanished instantly, as though something had been exposed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Thoren could process what had happened, a sharp whistling sound cut through the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The undead servant was struck directly in the chest, forcing it to stagger backward by a single step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through the servant’s eyes, Thoren focused his attention on the attacker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A voice echoed, calm yet filled with hostility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why did you come to our home?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thoren froze for a brief moment, unable to hide his surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had expected many possible enemies, but this was not one of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Floating in the air was a beetle roughly the size of a human hand, its presence both subtle and unsettling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its body was covered in a tarnished bronze carapace that shimmered faintly, with strange swirling patterns that seemed to distort the surrounding air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Along its surface were thin ridges that resembled delicate funnels, each one capable of trapping and redirecting sound waves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, its most disturbing feature was its head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were no visible eyes, no mandibles, and no recognizable facial structure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, a smooth parabolic surface occupied the space where its face should have been.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rim of this structure was lined with fine silvery bristles that trembled faintly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the creature produced sound, the surface vibrated and projected a flawless imitation of any voice it had recorded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It did not merely copy sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It recreated it perfectly, down to the smallest nuance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thoren narrowed his eyes as realization settled into his mind. This creature was responsible for everything he had experienced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every echo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every illusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of it originated from this seemingly small yet terrifying creature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Echo Scarab]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>****\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[AN: Please support this book with your golden ticket and power stones.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Message Chair +1 Chapter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dragon +2 Chapters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Magic Castle +5 Chapters]]\u003C\u002Fp>",1226,"2026-06-03T10:41:31.766Z","2026-06-03T10:41:38.603Z",1,"novelbin.me","a617de5c80c6b65d14c5ffd58662a82227efbf3bc2b48fb031fec22543bed287","global-survival-i-have-endless-skeletons-chapter-281","global-survival-i-have-endless-skeletons-chapter-279",326,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fglobal-survival-i-have-endless-skeletons-cover.jpg"]
