180 17th Day - Skeleton Army (1/2)
After stepping into Malang Territory, Randy set up his tent. He neither continue the journey nor he would hunt in the night. He checked the map and estimated he would reach where the Ascension Chest's located was, tomorrow.
After setting up his tent and planted the repellent sphere. He was scouting ahead about five miles area, preparing what he would face tomorrow. But to his surprise, he didn't find any beast or monster in the five miles square area which was odd.
He asked Shana, but she knew nothing about it, she also puzzled why there was no beast in the five miles area.
Malang Territory was like a jungle, trees everywhere. But the trees in the Malang territory differed from the trees in other territories. All tree was black in color, from the leaves, branches, trunk, and the root.
The tree was about five to ten meters high. He was wondering the inhabitant in Malang Territory was the tree monster, but it was not. The tree was a normal tree as he already used Detection on it and the tree name was Black Wood. There was no special use.
Because of the Black Wood, Malang Territory was gloomy but not eerie as it was different from Bandung Territory.
After wandering for an hour, there was no clue as for why there was no beast or monster here. After that, he decided to go back for dinner and tossed back his thought about that.
He ate his dinner before going to sleep. Even though he wanted to hunt, he could not as there was no beast or monster could be hunted.
'If there's no beast or monster here, then it would be good for me as tomorrow, and my journey tomorrow will be smooth,'
It was what Randy thought before sleeping. He would take the positive one and tossed back what puzzled him.
The next morning, he woke up at seven. He packed up his futon before going out of the tent. Just as he came out of the tent, he was stupefied with the scene outside the mist of repellent sphere.
He was being surrounded by… skeleton? But what surprised him was not this, but these skeletons were lining up, surrounding the mist with a spear in its hand.
Over a hundred or maybe thousand skeletons were lining up like an army and surround the repellent sphere's mist. Maybe it was because of his repellent sphere which prevented this skeleton.
As the skeleton could not come in, Randy used this chance to use his Detection skill. Yet it was another surprise to him as the level skeleton was… low.

[White Skeleton] (Soldier)
Grade: Uncommon Undead
Level: 72

'This is a bit weird. Last night, I scouted around five miles area but found nothing, but in the morning these skeletons surrounded me. Also, these skeletons level is too low compared to the beast in beforehand territory,'
”Shana, what's this? How come there are many skeletons here? Also, isn't this skeleton's level is too low?” Randy asked Shana while taking out a Silver Wolf for his breakfast.
Because of the repellent sphere, the skeleton could not get into the mist. With that, he prepared his breakfast under the watch of the skeleton.
Based on what he knew, the Uncommon grade monster or beast had low intelligence. So, there must be a higher level monster which commanded this Uncommon White Skeleton to besieged his mist.
”Hmm, maybe this is an undead army. The undead army which is formed by a high level and high-grade undead. I'm not sure too,” Shana looked carefully at the skeleton which surrounded them.
”But based on how these skeletons neatly line up. I'm sure, about eighty percent, this is an undead army,”
Randy roasted the whole wolf while listening to Shana's explanation, ”Is it the Territory King? The one who is leading this army?”
”Yup, it's indeed Territory King, but… The leader of this skeleton army is far much smarter, higher in grade and level compared to the Territory King you killed before. At least the leader is at Emperor Grade, the same the Territory King of Semarang Territory which chased after you a few days ago,” At first she told him in an earnest expression, but later, she giggled after saying he was chased by the Territory King of Semarang Territory.
”But the Territory King of the Semarang Territory doesn't build its army,” Randy ignored her giggle and asked the main point.
The Territory King of Semarang Territory was Emperor Grade Elemental, but it didn't have its own army like what Shana said. If it had its own army, maybe he would die for sure in the Semarang Territory.
