Chapter 227 - The First Necromancer And The Lair Of Bones (I) (1/2)

”Enemy attack!” I shouted and everyone quickly go into the stance.

”Master! It looks like they adopted the style of us goblins in terms of ambush attacks!” Goro said.

”Similar to the ambush attacks the goblins used?”

”Yes, inside a cave or cavern passageways like this, us goblins will make use of this chance to catch the enemies off guard. Since adventurers will always have a light with them, they are much easier to detect once they are about to approach. It seems the enemies that we are facing are doing the same tactic too!”

Goblins do indeed use that tactic. It was simple yet it can be troublesome if it is detected late by adventurers especially if the goblins are accompanied by goblin shamans and hobgoblins. But we are not facing goblins or any variety of the goblin race this time but the skeletons. To think the skeletons have this in-depth way of learning tactics of ambush. However, their element of surprise is now ruined and they showed their positions now.

”There!” I quickly conjure a fireball and throw it to where the attack earlier came from and the rattling of bones can be heard falling to the ground one another, I also received a bit of exp so that means I managed to deal one dead. However, the rattling didn't just stop after dealing one dead. There are more to enemies.

Changing the Versatile Weapon into a spear and shield, I also tasked Iron to protect the rear side. No matter how many enemies there are on the front, there are bound of times where the rear side is gonna become the bane of the formation due to some tactics of enemies. And if the enemies here are indeed imitating the tactics of the goblins, that only means there is also a possibility that they will do something on the rear guard too.

We proceed a bit faster before and the remaining skeletons left from my summons were the ones who destroyed some of the hidden skeletons. They are effective as the ones who will clear the way and a pawn to see whether it is safe to proceed or not.

In the end, all of them were reduced to dust after they were killed. Although they last longer than expected, it can be said that they are too weak to handle what dangers look further. Contrary to my expectations and calculations, it seems we are just too overcautious as the dead roaming in the halls of the cavern are just a few and they don't pose much threat as they can be killed by simply kicking them.

”From the looks of it, we are arriving at the end of the cavern without much danger forming to block us.”

”Yep, it seems like the dangers are not the skeletons along the way but lie deeper,” Topaz said.

”Don't jinx it Sis, it's not an easy thing fighting multiple enemies at once, so I hope what you just said is not going to happen!” Iron said.

As we arrive on the last part of the cavern, a huge skeleton forming the dome, made of walls of skeletons appeared before us. Based on the shape of some skeletons, they are not all the bones of humans but some are from the bones of monsters and other creatures. It was like a deposit of bones that were stuck there over time, forming the wall of bones.

”Well, well. It seems the guardian outside didn't even manage to faze you guys. I am quite disappointed, to be honest,” a haughty voice started speaking not that far from us. I focused my eyes and I saw a chair made of a skeleton and a few additions of bones attached to make it similar to a real chair and a person in a robe and has a hoodie on his head sitting on that accursed seat. Whoever made that has a weird sense of taste for chairs. It looks pretty uncomfortable to use a seat.

No one from us responded and just look at the person talking earlier, looking out whether he will do something that we don't know he might do. After all, we are surrounded by skeletons. With a necromancer like the enemy, it is just a mere snap in the finger for them to raise them all back to life.

”Why, it seems like you guys are the silent type of people. I don't really like that kind of visitor, they seemed to disrespect me a lot. You guys got it?”

SNAP!

Two giant skeletons appeared before us carrying a huge sharpened bone sword and bone shield and block our path.

SNAP!

Lucia who is just watching everything happened snapped her finger and flames emerged from the bones of the two skeletons and in a flash, the skeletons were reduced to ashes. Way to go, Lucia!
