Isekai Rohan

"Well, no time like the present."

Asai stretched one palm out, a sudden pang of pain assaulted his heart.

[Summon Skeleton]

5 soulless skeletal figures materialized before him. The undead stood as tall as Asai did, towering over the girls. Whilst Violet remained unfazed, Rosemi spurted her coffee out in shock.

In reality, The kingdom of humanity wasn't even aware of the kingdom of dark-elves. As far as they knew, Via Marea was the only kingdom to share their initial borders prior to the disappearance of the dragons. As the humans had two kingdoms in the days of old, prior to uniting into one. The elves also had two.

In fact, more than two thousand years ago. Ignis was still just a land of death. The fields were highly infertile, unsuitable for farming. A destination, in which the fallen were exiled to. Hence why the two counter-parts appeared almost identical.

Spread sporadically throughout the lands were poisonous swamps that sapped the life out of the kingdom. At the far eastern border was a slumbering volcano. Yet, it's lava pits could be seen and felt throughout as literal pits of death.

The only reason the dark-elves managed to survive, was due to their adaptation to the new environment, and their initial combat prowess that were just enough to hunt the local beasts for sustenance.

Whilst the revenge-driven elves built up their own kingdom, Ignis. Dreaming of a future conquest upon those who had exiled them. The elves who held no lofty ambitions set up numerous villages within the midway point. In which they named Aevraury.

..

Rosemi De Lumix gasped in shock, as she stood drawing her blade.

It was only after she noticed how calm and collected her companions were did she halt her actions. Among the humans, there was hardly any talk or discussion on necromancy. Thus, she wasn't entirely sure how she should feel.

Before her, the skeletons incited feelings of terror and horror. Lifeless, soulless beings that stood at attention. However, because of a certain skill, the skeletons also appeared to be filled with divinity.

[Loha's Blessing]

Royal Blood now flows through your veins.

The blessed blood coursing through his veins, in conjunction with his mana was utilized to summon the skeletons. Leading to the summons retaining a small but clearly holy energy signature.

When Rosemi compared the skeletons before her to the mass of undead hidden within the pass. They certainly appeared cleaner. As if they were hand-crafted, standing pristine like a statue would. Whilst the hostile undead had rotten blood, and pieces of dripping flesh attached to their bones here and there.

Whilst Rosemi continued her inspection, Asai chugged a HP potion to refill the life force he had consumed. It certainly was quite the shock to the man. The pain was taken in the form of true damage. Striking him directly within the heart, his container for both life and mana.

Violet's admiration seemed to have rose, seeing him successful perform an action in which she couldn't.

"Rosemi, we're going to cross the mountain pass today. Once we successfully pass through, I want you to immediately kill the skeletons. If anyone asks, tell them the truth. That an army of undead are hidden within the poisonous fog. I don't know how the elves will react to me summoning skeletons, so lets keep it a secret for now."

Rosemi nodded in affirmation. Within her mind, these skeletons were no different from Asai's phantom clones. And thus, as long as the caster was a good person. Then that's all that mattered to her.

"Finish your coffee, it's time we returned to Via Marea."

Asai summoned his 4 clones, increasing his current summon count to 9.

Leading the group through the village ruins, Asai kept himself at the forefront, leaving Rosemi to protect their rear. The group immediately slaughtered any orc patrols that crossed their path. These brief encounters allowed Asai to run a few tests.

Checking their performance. It seems the skeletons were weaker than his own phantom clones. Asai even tried to present them with weapons, but their IQ was lower than even the clones. They only knew how to charge forward, punching and clawing away at their targets. The saving grace, was that they appeared to be TANK orientated. Dealing lesser damage, but being able to take more hits than his phantom clones could.

"Hopefully, there's another way to buff them or something. A skeleton knight would be cool..."

After their abysmal performance, Asai didn't give up hope yet. The skeletons within the poison fog were stronger and smarter. Some even wielded clubs and wore helmets. There was hope yet.
