Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 2878

The Cerulean Tide surged even more violently.

Andrew leaped up and climbed onto a crumbling wall. The tide flowed right beneath his feet, and wherever it passed, countless wraiths surged through like an undead army.

Even someone with Andrew's nerves could not help breaking into a cold sweat. With this many spirits, even a martial god would have to retreat.

This cursed graveyard was truly treacherous.

The main problem was that these spirits could continuously draw energy from the tide to sustain themselves. It was like deploying an army that carried its own supply line. Wherever the tide reached, the battlefield followed, and it never worried about resources.

Andrew waited atop the wall, watching for the tide to recede. Suddenly, a soft white glow lit up in the darkness not far away.

At the same time, a cold, distant voice reached Andrew's ears.

"If you don't want to die, you'd better follow me. The place where you're standing will soon be swallowed by the tide, and there's nowhere for you to hide. Come with me. I can save you."

As the words fell, a pure white figure within the glow quickly moved away.

Andrew hesitated for a moment. Then, he leaped into the distance. He quickly pursued the white light through the ruins.

The white light seemed intent on testing him, suddenly accelerating dramatically. In a few flashes, it had opened up considerable distance between them.

Andrew raised an eyebrow. "And what if I'm not willing?"

Rosemary's expression remained blank. "Then you'll die here. Don't worry about thanking me for saving your life; followers of the God of Light don't accept gratitude from heathens. But trust me, without my help, you'll die for sure."

Andrew sneered. "Is that so? Well, what a coincidence. I happen to be the kind of person who doesn't need others bossing me around. You already said you need someone's help, so if I don't help you, you'll die for sure too, won't you?"

Rosemary's face darkened slightly. "Your kind are as unreliable as ever, and just as cunning. But what if I kill you first?"

Andrew found a clean spot and casually sat down, then replied dismissively, "Feel free to try it."
