Before the marching army of the undead and the dark corruption within the surroundings, it wasn't much. It even gave off the impression that it would be snuffed out soon.

Pieces of rubble rose due to the sheer power emanating from the orb. Then, the Archlich fired it as a focused beam of death heading towards Cedric.
