Chapter 267: Obsidian soldiers

Su existed in this world, it was a separate field fro in the right hands Like any other school of ic, there were variations in the techniques used One subsection utilized ritualistic cere it wanted to procure Other ones were dedicated by simple class skills, contracts, and occult sacrifices

One thing united all of those types of su practices: the creature that appeared always required so si darker like a part of their soul This was one of the reasons why deicians were so feared as they could offer up other people as sacrifices to gain a fast boost to their power

De their part of the deal froe of people and perfore A contract between the summoned creature and the summoner would be formed After the contractor just needed theirover to this world

A lot of things depended on the type of contract The summoned creature could constantly siphon mana from its user while it was on this side or just take a bulk cut at the beginning The first type could potentially put the contracted being into an alhused It was so runes that Roland used in his armor which took a fixed amount of mana

Thus he asked hi that the Lich was using? Did it offer up the flesh of the et it here or was it just offering it mana? Did the black-boned skeletons have a tiic to prolong the stay here?

‘There are always rare su and are on a timer…’

That one was the worst-case scenario A person could just use a timed skill to summon monsters with almost no penalties Most of the time such skills had a lih-tier undead summon had floith its master but it wasn’t the only one there Just as those two vanished into the horizon another one appeared before theht need soic over here…”

Roland had to turn his head towards Ar While the injured Lich made his escape another problem arose The army of lower level tier 2 skeletons continued to attack but they were getting dispatched by the adventurers and guards that reat chance to set up a barrier while the miners fled

To everyone's surprise, not one but two strange-looking undead appeared before theer than the rest Just like the obsidian gargoyle that escaped with the Lich the two had charred black bones

He could see their names and levels, it seemed that their levels were all uniform This was probably the li The Beast Soldier’s body was around fourlimbs and claw-like hands with a skeletal structure siorilla The head looked si with sharper teeth than usual

The other one wasn’tskeletons Its face was si out of the pitch black robe it earing In its right hand, it was holding a staff that radiated green fla around

It was clear that the larger one was the close-quarters co support spells from the back With the addition of so many foot soldiers, it would be quite a hard nut to crack Without giving anyone any tier skeleton

“shi+t…”

His ears were on fire as he was hit with the sound attack It was a wide-range disabling attack that caught all the adventurers off guard Even Arh-level tier 2 warriors, could not resist it They went down to their knees while clutching their ears Luckily for them, they had a member in their party that had prepared for this type of occasion

Roland’s armor initiated an auto his ears He needed to work fast as the Skeleton Beast Soldier continued to hohile his ally pointed his staff ive up a green glow through its ereen fire for at

This forced Roland to quickly abandon the srabbed his own elongated kite shi+eld It had the length of a regular tower shi+eld but was narrower at the bottom With it in his hand, he juether Even when trying they were not able to shake off the stunning effect

When he arrived before them there was not much time The only reason he was able to activate the shi+eld's defensive spells was due to it being a runic itee was still forced to chant out the spell that looked like a giant ball of green flaes like these could not utilize grand spells to their full potential Yet during tireater weapon than a battalion ofpowerful destructive spells

Finally, the ball of green fla forward by the monster It collided with multiple layers of shi+elds that Roland set up in a hurry The first one shattered almost instantly and the second one took only half a second to burst as well Only when the spell arrived at the last one did it stop in its tracks before exploding

Even when his spells e he could feel his health dropping Armand and Wedamir that were behind him tumbled away but were e raised his staff up again and was already preparing to cast another spell His ally on the other hand was luckily out of breath and the stunning effect of his shout wore off

“We need to retreat!”

“You don’t have to tell me twice!”

“Aye…”

The threethis and thetheir tools earlier they had made some space between the main skeletal forces Only a few adventurers had stayed behind as they thought that handling the lower tier 2 skeleton soldiers wouldn’t be that hard No one expected two tier 3 monsters to quickly appear out of the blue

‘The monster is clearly a tier 3 but the spell it used was somewhat on the weaker side…’
