She wanted to be like her.

Tasha flinched after hearing Mary�s response.

There was something her grandfather Obante had told her before she came to the Jungle while telling her to protect Mary.

�Yes, this may all just be nature taking its course. It is finally time for someone to receive the will of the Sage of Death.�

She had questioned who the Sage of Death was at that time. Tasha�s gaze automatically turned toward Obante.

However, Obante was looking at Cale instead. He opened his mouth to speak.

�The Sage of Death.�

Obante took a book out of his clothes.

It was a story that had been passed down to the mayor of the Underground City for generations after generations.

The Sage of Death.

�She is death itself.�

She had embraced death.

Furthermore.

�She was the only Queen of the dark beings.�

Both light and darkness were part of nature.

She had been the one to gather together the beings who could only live in darkness.

�The Queen of Death.� ( This was translated as King of Death in the past, but as Obante describes it as a woman, it will be translated as Queen from here onward. This author has a tendency to use King for some reason, as he does the same for Witira� )

Cale recalled what the Tower Master had said during the battle once the Dark Elf mayor said that title.

�The Queen of Death will be so sad. She would have been happy that another necromancer had appeared.�

The Sage of Death was the Queen of Death.

However, Obante was not finished speaking.

�She was the one who turned the Caro Kingdom�s desert into the Land of Death of the Five Forbidden Regions.�

The Land of Death was the only one of the Five Forbidden Regions where a person was the main focal point of the legend.

It was a desert that had red sand during the day and black sand at night. JrNovels.com
