Bang!
A skeleton exploded, all of its bones, initially held together by aether, flying across the cavern under the impact of Nero's glaive. A small crater formed in the wall, not that anyone would lament the destruction of the otherwise pristine hall.
Dozens of other skeletons had already been crushed by Nero - the ones that had escaped the marble mausoleums - yet one remained, the blue flames in its eye sockets burning bright.
Incidentally, this particular skeleton was also using a spear, which attracted Nero's attention even more. But the blue fire and use of a spear were where the similarities ended between the two. This particular skeleton, fully armoured with heavy metal plates covered in elaborate designs, was a heavyset fellow and was slightly shorter than Nero.
As a result, his speed was not as great as Nero's, yet his barbaric brute strength was so immense that Nero dared not exchange a single blow with him, even with his glaive.
