96 Chapter 95 (1/2)
Leon had no idea how come skeletons and giant wolves were in the same class; he could understand that regarding wolves, but not with skeletons. Since they had the same shape as the human skeletons, it was hard to think of them as monsters. But the fact that attacked any living creature was proof enough.
Leon arrived on time to see a tall man smashing a skeleton with a massive hammer since the monsters were undead creatures; the only way to kill them was to smash them into dust. The man who killed seemed to be a very experienced fighter, his movements were fluid, and Leon saw no hesitation in him. But that much was to be expected since he had been selected to be a rank A member in William's organization.
”It looks like this is a special dungeon,” Leon said. ”I haven't seen any skeletons so far, so there must be a reason for that.”
”Master, I heard that the longer those skeletons stay on our planet, the stronger they get,” Gisela explained. ”I also heard that the directors participated in the battle to exterminate the skeletons that invaded our planet, and they had a hard time killing all of them.”
”I think killing is the wrong word here...” Leon frowned. ”Still, I wonder why they are having a hard time clearing this dungeon, that guy just killed the skeleton in a single hit. By the way, how can the dust of the skeletons can be used?”
”I don't know how, but I heard that that is used to increase the defense of some equipment, master,” Gisela explained. ”The process of creation is a secret, and it belongs to the directors.”
”Just like the method of creation of the magic items,” Leon added.
Leon wasn't interested in increasing his defensive gear, but he was really interested in the process of creating magic equipment. If by chance, he discovers the method, he could create several items to increase the aspects where he was lacking. Health was an excellent example of that.
”Well, let's greet these guys I'll be working with for the next few days, after all” Leon said.
Although Leon wanted to do that, it looked like everyone was resting in those houses. Only the guy who had killed the skeleton was on watch duty. Leon approached him and finally could see his appearance. He was tall and had long black straight hair; it had been a long time since Leon saw a man with long hair... Regardless, Leon hoped for the people who founded the organization with William to be shady people, but that man didn't pass that image through his face and light-brown eyes. He looked battle-hardened due to the several scars in his body, but he didn't look that savage.
”Who are you?” The man asked when he saw Leon approaching.
”My name is Leonard. It is nice to meet you,” Leon offered a handshake. ”I got promoted recently, and director William sent me here to help.”
”Is that so...” The man grabbed his hammer and swung toward Leon's head.
