Roland ca up Nor like that with this little prep He expected the lasthis armor's defensive mechanism to ride the shockwave Instead, his shi+eld was able to last through it by just burning copious amounts of h-Mage class that this monster had The spells weren’t quite at the tier 3 level Perhaps the initial level of hundred fifty and his own raised stats put him somewhat around these two creatures' level Yet he was just one man and didn’t think he could handle both of theni or the adventurers helped out it wouldn't changewas still the most sensible conclusion and for that, he at least needed to shake these two off

“Hey, keep them back from me for a second”

“Huh?”

Wedamir was startled as Roland threw the shi+eld at hih the two obsidian undead were theskeletons to tackle After a quick glance towards Armand that nodded to the dwarf, the two put the monsters while Roland looked up

This area was vast but they were still underground The ceiling above them was filled with stalactites forh to atte but all of them were in a life and death situation There was a nice row of pointy rocks right above the black skeletala close watch on the caster It seee one would perhaps stun and bat away any people trying to get close to the e while it used the wide-area spells to kill everyone around them

Thus while Ar the skeletons that got through the puddles he grabbed the rest of his throwable discs These were quickly flung up into the air With the help of his throwing skill and their self-sticking properties, they

To top it all off he also grabbed his hammer staff with both hands His aim was to deliver as much force and have the whole place cave in on theand so did the larger skeleton It didn’t seeh the tactic as they remained at their spot The ball of flaain

Right before the roup of adventurers a huge explosion rocked the entire place As the bombs exploded a burst of mana escaped froy that after colliding with the ceiling continued to drill itself in further while sending off smaller shockwaves These caused quite a mess and produced a smokescreen

“Retreat!”

Shouted Roland as the spell connected with the desired spot

“Woah!”

Ar up towards the destruction No one really needed to hear the retreat order as they booked it for the hills The whole upper area of the dungeon quickly ca down This was coupled with lava, ash, and debris that made their way toward the skeletal forces and their two co as well but his gaze was pointed in another direction There he locked eyes with thein the opposite direction of the fleeing people It pained him to do this but he wanted to have a secondary plan that would guarantee their escape For this reason, he needed to sacrifice one of his creations

The only thing that he rushed in for was the cannon that he discarded after the blast This thing could still be used so after grabbing it he started running Agni was right next to his master, when one of the weaker skeletons approached he was quickly dispatched by an angry dire wolf The bones that these monsters were made of could not handle even one bite“Hey, move it if you don’t want to die”

To Roland’s surprise, Armand did not abandon him Instead, he remained close by and just waited, perhaps the ht While he had a drinking problem and was focused on carnal pleasures he did keep hi while the obsidian skeletons were covered in rubble

Yet while the white skeletalrock the two troublesoreen flames that was similar to its h to protect it fro didn’t even move, the rocks that collided with its thick bones just bounced back as if it was just a minor inconvenience

The whole area became flooded with dust and rock Froer black skeleton burst forth Its ju zone with just two strides After giving out another loud howl it started picking up speed and running after the escaping adventurers

Leaving thethat Roland calculated into his secondary plan which was slowly olelowing runes that were digging into the bulky chassis This ed at the gole it

The last Obsidian Skeleton Beast Soldier ju lie fists of it on the slow- after the others This was of course a trap, theshell another explosion rocked the entire area

This one was on the sahter The black figure of the ht The adventurers that felt the surge ofover could not help but look back There they could see an ar back at the explosion he produced

Over his shoulder, he was carrying a huge cannon but it didn’t see Roland caught up to Armand that instantly followed suit Everyone was in full evacuation ht up to the miners that weren’t boosted as ive us soroup reached thein froh and everyone was on board with the evacuation effort Some adventurers had even formed a defensive line to block any potentialforward to battle the creatures on the upper levels which were also a potential risk

The syste that he had defeated a weak monster Nored in his head but each one had given hiave considerably fewer points for killing them

Perhaps this thousand caive a di had put in place a barrier for grinding It would not allow people to farm summoned creatures that could be easily replaced by mana or resources

While the explosion proved that the summoned monsters could be killed by his creations it didn’t fix the problem The Lich could probably create more of those soldiers and they could even ith each other Even though their tactics were crude they would stilltheeon was a lost cause, and perhaps the swarm of skeletal soldiers that they faced was only the tip of the iceberg

Where the Lich took off was a argoyle, it could have es people would not be able to reach It would not be that simple to find the injuredlike it down alone His only option was to return ho his choices he heard a characteristic rattling of bones co from the area they just fled from
