    Behind Pam was a number of fully geared Americans. They were the guards that regrly patrolled the pce. Pam wore deep red magicians robes. With her staff, she was ready to attack at any time.


    Everyone immediately reacted, hastily running up to the second floor. Professor Brown did not leave immediately, as he was still in shock. “Norn! What are you doing! Are you betraying Judge Academy?”


    “Professor Brown. He’s not the Norn you knew!” Pam motioned to her sides, and Professor Brown was immediately escorted up to the second floor.


    “Pam, will you kill him?”


    “Professor, I regret it too, but don’t worry, Norn still has plenty of life left. His death will not be fatal.”


    Pam maintained her respect for Professor Brown as she patiently advised the old man. Professor Brown’sbat abilities were not high, but hisnguage skills definitely were. Nonbatants usually had even more important functions, so Pam ced protecting Professor Brown as her primary objective.


    However, Norn did not immediately attack after entering the hall. Instead, he half-knelt as he rubbed his hand against the stone tes on the floor, murmuring to himself. It was not loud, but the night was quiet and everyone had their attention on him, so his murmuring could subtly be heard.


    “It’s Ancient Normese!” Professor Brown was the first to react. He had a very shocked expression and he added. “He’s reading the words on the stone tes!”


    Pam was not rushed to action. Even though they had about five or six of them against the lone Norn, she was not certain that Norn was acting by himself, so she chose to patiently observe and react.


    After hearing what Professor Brown said, Pam furrowed her eyebrows in realization. “So the stone tes were the objectives after all. But what does he want with them?”


    As the vice-captain of the dragon-eagle regiment, Pam knew more about the situation than everyone else present. Judge Academy did suspect someone would pull off an attack during the Single Moon Festival. They initially suspected either the resurrection tower or the wormhole to be the most possible targets, but the pce was also one of the suspicions. The only problem was that they could not figure out any possible motive.


    Xiao Lin silently observed from the second floor. He was the weakest of everyone within the hall, so no matter what happened, he only hoped that he would not get dragged into it. However, there was something really bugging him, because Norn had a very strange expression at the moment.


    Norn no longer had that terrifying smile. Instead, he had an abnormally stern look right now. He looked more fervent and pious, as if he was doing something immensely holy.


    It was that expression that made Xiao Lin suspicious; it felt like he had seen something simr before. Suddenly, he snapped up in realization.


    It was the monthly examinations. During the examinations not too long ago, that Norman woman tried to use some strange and unnamed curse tounch a final attack on them at thest moment. At that time, the woman had the very same look of fervor, piousness and resignation to death.


    No matter what that person was there for, no matter what use the stone tes were, XIao Lin’s intuition told him that if they let Norn finish chanting, something inexplicable would happen. He immediately shouted, “Stop him! Stop him, quick! Don’t let him finish reading the stone tes!”


    Pam looked at Xiao Lin. She was filled with anxiety before showing a look of determination. She ordered her men to attack from both sides, but Professor Brown shouted, “Be careful! Do not use any wide, destructive skills. The stone tes are all priceless!”


    Pam had an exasperated look. She had just started to cast a spell, but she could not help but stop midway after Professor Brown’s words, causing her to prepare a new spell.


    The others rushed over with their swords, and Pam’s spell wasplete. With a wave of her wand, a subtle light was sent out, andnded on the Americans’ armors. It was support magic. In order to preserve the stone tes, she could not use any destructive spells in the hall. She would need to force Norn out of the hall first.


    Against the vicious assault, Norn did not even bother to dodge. Even after a sword pierced through his heart, his expression turned serious as he raised his hand. With a light wave, a grey aura swept out of his hand, sending the guards flying.


    “What strength!” Pam was taken aback. She turned to look at Professor Brown. “I don’t think we’ll be able to preserve the stone tes. My job is to protect New Washington, first and foremost.”


    With the de still in him, Norn did not seem the slightest bit affected. All he did was furrow his eyebrows and say in a very solemn tone, “You evil demons. Feel the pain of the dead that was buried here!”


    Norn pressed his hands to the floor and chanted an ancient and cryptic verse. The entire pce started to shake; even Pam’s spell was disrupted as she realized the floor underneath her feet seemed to move and struggle.


    Xiao Lin opened his eyes in disbelief as skeletons started to break out of the ground. They shakily got out and slowly stood up. Behind their empty eye sockets were wisps of green me.


    “Summoning The Dead! Even Norma deems it forbidden magic. I can’t believe someone actually used it!” Pam clenched her teeth as she red at Norn. “Who are you?! Normal people could never use such high level necromancy!”


    “Haha! You’ll find your answer in hell!” Nornughed darkly beforemanding the skeletal army to attack with a few chants. He did not seem to mind the fact that his whole body was stained with blood as he continued to touch the stone tes and chant in Ancient Normese.


    “Summoning The Dead; it’s a Golden-rank necromancy spell. This spell summons Golden-ranked skeletal soldiers. Interesting.” A chime-likeughter was suddenly heard. Looking toward it, Xiao Lin was speechless as he realized that he had actually forgotten Lilith amidst the chaos.


    The number of soldiers increased. Even the outside of the pce was filled with skeletons. Xiao Lin stood next to a window near the staircase, and under the moonlight he could see an ocean of skeletal soldiers advancing into the pce.
