The Daedroth used its own body as a meatshield, blocking the lightning bolt's path before it could reach the Anchorite. The colossus, as unintelligent as most Daedroth were, apparently was smart enough to know that the Anchorite was not to be injured, and so stood adamantly before the Anchorite to block any more attacks.

Before Daithi could reach him, Novo thrust the ceremonial blade downward, impaling the chest of the helpless sacrifice with the wicked sword. The room began to rumble, and without warning, a shockwave of arcane energy flattened everyone who wasn't prepared for such a blast. The chamber shook with the sheer power of the attack, but Novo was able to stay on his feet as the dust cleared. The Crown of Bones, which had fallen to the bottom of a nearby stair case, seemed to glow in the dim light.

Novo darted to the bottom of the steps as the others rose to their feet, disoriented by the powrful blast. Snatching the Crown, he sprinted over to the coffin and threw off the lid of the sarcophagus. In the tomb lay the body of an elf, cloaked in black robes and looking surprisingly healthy for someone who had been dead for nearly an era. Novo reached down and placed the Crown onto the elf's brow, the same sinister smile growing broad on his face.

"It is time to awaken, my King," Novo whispered, and with those words, the King of Worms opened his eyes and broke free from the cold grip of death.
