The bones started forming together and all of them looked like sentry or foot soldiers. All of the skeleton soldiers had a layer of frost covering their armors and bones. All of the frozen skeleton soldiers only had melee weapons like swords or spears.
Monster: Frozen Skeleton Foot Soldiers
Level: 102
HP: 600,000 / 600,000
MP: 50,000 / 50,000
Description: Soldiers that died in the reign of King Gefroren was given the honor of being laid to rest in the tomb of the great king. However, an unknown undead transformed the whole tomb as his playground and continues to create undead for his plans. Due to the peculiar undead energy of the unknown undead, the Frozen Skeleton Foot Soldiers have been imparted with the ice element.
There were currently fifty Frozen Skeleton Foot Soldiers in the room. If one looks at it from an outsider's perspective, the group would be outnumbered. But there is one special person on their team which is a half fire elemental. Soleil's fireballs deals great damage because of the contrasting high temperatures that she can blast the bones of the skeleton soldiers.
Due to the unique nature of a half elemental not needing to use mana, she spammed all her low cooldown spells which in turn gave her the highest burst damage. The fire element is the most destructive of all the elements due to its unstable nature. The others did not slack off as they too fired off their long range spells to keep the skeleton soldiers at bay.
Kabrakan would swing his two towering shields and it would knockback any player or creature as long as he has bigger endurance stat than them. He could easily flung the skeleton soldiers because skeletons have the least endurance among undead despite all undead having infinite stamina due to their Unrelenting passive. He successfully blocked the charging undead from getting close to the team.
Peridot finally finished her spell and her gem glowed in a brilliant yellow light. She then tossed the gem towards the group of undead and it exploded in a blinding light prompting everyone in the room to squint their eyes. The skeleton soldiers hit in the center of the blast radius immediately disintegrated due to the intense holy damage while those near suffered high damage.
Vayu stood his ground and strikes any skeleton soldiers that flanked them because Kabrakan cannot keep them all at bay. He especially took note of the skeleton soldiers that held spears because their attack range was much bigger than those with swords. He would usually release a twister whenever his sheath glows in a grayish green light.
Creepysoo actually was the next biggest contributor in this fight as he would unleash his dark magic that could actually curse the undead. Undead are normally immune to curses and dark magic but is ineffective due to Creepysoo's title of Prince of the Undead.
Title: Prince of the Undead (Mage)
Effect:
-Any undead that that is not higher than you in terms of royal status will not be able to resist any status debuffs that you cast. The effect is stronger if the disparity in the royal status is wider. (Cannot affect undead that have pledged their allegiance to you. Those that pledge allegiance will forever be loyal to you.)
- All Stats + 50
Description: Even undead have a sense of monarchy. Despite undead unable to feel fear, their biology is closely tied to that of a noble because the hierarchy of the undead is generated when a king from a land long gone became the first undead. It was the universe that decided this rule as even chaos must have order.
Creepysoo would be the ultimate undead hunter despite being an undead himself. As the first player who became an undead, he was given the most luxurious title because he became an undead due to the Undead King himself giving a part of his soul to Creepysoo. Creepysoo is a Dark Magician which specializes in hexes and status afflicting magic so this title is very helpful to him.
Levin Cloud also did not slack off as he directed his healing onto the skeleton soldiers instead of his teammates. If a normal player saw his judgement then they would say that he is crazy but his single target heals could now affect the area of its target in a one meter radius. He obtained a new skill that transforms his single target heals into area heals while his area heals increased in the area covered.
Skill: Gaea's Touch
Tier: Legendary
Type: Passive
Effect:
- Any type of healing spells would be amplified by 100% with an increase in area radius by one meter. Even the spells beneficial effect will affect those inside the healing area.
Cooldown: None
Mana Cost: None
Cast Time: None
He managed to finish the second to the last mission for his Envoy of the Twin God's quest. He was now in the final step in his mission but the last step is always the most difficult. He had to revive the Church of Death and make it an official church order once more but he did not know how to do so. Levin Cloud decided to tackle this later as searching missions is the most difficult for him.
The whole group may still have their timing issues because they just recently met. But slowly and surely, they are gradually getting used to each other and getting used to each other's rhythm. It did not take them long to clear the fifty skeleton soldiers standing in their way. They were about to loot the area but then Gefroren's spirit came to them.
"Thank you for granting my loyal soldier's eternal rest so that they could finally enter the cycle of reincarnation. Also can you please not loot their things as it is part of their legacy? It is not that wish to bar you from collecting their armors but I wish that you respect their things. I believe that my vault would have treasures of the same value if not greater." Gefroren's spirit stated.
"No problem but we can take the things that the intruder's drop right?" Creepysoo asked.
"Of course. I will not prohibit you from taking them as they do not belong in this tomb. Feel free to take those away or better yet take them all away because those things might bring curses or bad luck." Gefroren sneeringly said as his spirit faded once more.
"Okay then. The old man Gefroren said that if possible we must avoid looting the things of the soldiers buried here. We can take the other things of the undead intruders though. He also assured us that his vault would be filled with good stuff so I think we should do as he says." Creepysoo stated.
The others who were touching the armors and weapons gently place them down and some even offered their prayers. After all of them arranged the armors and weapons back in a neatly fashion, all of them then continued on to the next room. The next room was once again filled with bones and armor that looked like robes.
The skeleton's once again reanimated and this time, the whole group faced thirty skeleton mages. The battle was not that difficult but it did burn their mana by a lot since the skeleton mages invoked multiple mana barriers. Thankfully, Creepysoo had a skill that multiplied a target's mana consumption by two so the battle did not become longer than they expected.
The next room after that was different as the skeletons are already reanimated and they were all wielding spears and a rectangular shield. The group of skeletons numbered about twenty and they are all in a phalanx formation which made the party's advance much more difficult.
Whenever Kabrakan will advance, the phalanx formation of the undead would also advance and they would thrust their spears. The shields covering them also granted them reduced damage which made a battle of endurance not possible. If all of their mana is consumed then they would definitely lost to a mini-boss.
"Everyone, please stand your ground as I would use my skill. It is going to get bumpy." Kabrakan shouted as he emitted a battle roar.
Kabrakan then pounded the floor rhythmically with his two towering shields. The floor is then subjected to small tremors and the epicenter of it is Kabarakan. The whole room started to vibrate and shake that keeping a firm footing was virtually impossible. Even his other party member slumped to the ground except for Vayu as he seemed to be floating once inch above the floor.
The skeleton soldiers were also subjected to this tremors. Slowly but surely, the skeleton soldiers could not stay stable as their phalanx formation toppled and could no longer be maintained. Vayu did not miss this precious chance as he carried his daughter using his shoulders and charged towards the skeleton soldiers.
It seems that Soleil did not mind this tactic. If one looked closely, Soleil was steady and was already creating fireballs. It seems that they have used this strategy many times as their movements were natural. It did not take long for Kabrakan to lose mana and his tremors to stop.
The other party members finally managed to stand up and join the assault with the father and daughter duo. They finished of the skeleton soldiers before they could recover from falling down.
