Reincarnated As The Hero Ring

"So where were the skeletons?" Sir Esmir ask us. 

"Near the town gate, we should hurry up as they might be already in there," Vicar said. 

"Are you coming with me, young man?" Sir Esmir ask us whether Vicar wanted to join or not. 

"Wait I need to tell the guards to rely on some message to the captain," Vicar said with Sir Esmir to wait for him a second. 

Vicar then tells the guards about the trade center area, the people there were missing and wanted the captain to send out a group of guards to find the people. Vicar also requested that the captain to send some guards to the noble district as the skeleton might already enter the area. 

With that all being said, the guards quickly return to the barrack to deliver Vicar's message to the captain. Vicar and Sir Esmir then headed to the town gate. This time, Vicar was determined to kill the Elite Skeletons as he was unable to do the last time he fights it. 

Along the way, Sir Esmir ask what sort of undead that we were dealing with. He also said that it couldn't be only skeletons attacking the town as there must be more variation of the undead. Hearing that, I know that Sir Esmir really had experience in fighting some monster. 

"We encountered only skeletons and elite skeleton..." Vicar said that towards Sir Esmir. 

"This might be bad..." Sir Esmir said. 

When Sir Esmir said that, I begin to wonder what he meant by it. Does the Elite Skeleton was a powerful enemy or he meant something else? 

"I know, that's why we need the guild help with it..." Vicar said that the guild help would be really helpful in this situation. 

"It seems that you misunderstood what I had to say, young man, this situation is indeed bad now but you didn't know how much worst this could be." 

"What do you meat by it?" Vicar asks him as he didn't know what Sir Esmir meant. 

"Elite skeleton usually will not spawn unless there was some sacrifice been made to summon it here." 

"So that means that there someone made the sacrifice to call it here..." Vicar said. 

I realized that it might be Eli that made that sacrifice, does that mean the guards that were outside and near the gate were all killed by Eli. It kinda makes sense why there were no people there when we arrive. They all just been killed by Eli. 

"You said the people in the trade center area is missing right, they probably have become sacrifice as well." Sir Esmir said that. 

"What! You said that they all been killed..."

"When did I say they all been killed! Listen, young man, the people disappearance are linked to the Elite Skeleton... the sacrifice to summon the Elite Skeleton does not require killing the people but rather something else." 

"Something else? How would you know about this..." Vicar asks him that question as Sir Esmir does have some knowledge about the Elite Skeletons. I also wonder how he was able to know about all of this.

"Young man, I'm once a soldier and I had seen many things in my life... One of them was this undead that we called Elite Skeletons. About the sacrifice..." 

When Sir Esmir was just about to say it, suddenly there were some skeletons that appeared in front of us. Vicar and I didn't expect that there will be skeletons here in the trade central area. Sir Esmir quickly stop and told Vicar to stay behind him as he will handle it alone. 

Sir Esmir take his war hammer from his back and went to his battle stance, the skeletons noticed him and charges toward him. Sir Esmir didn't move an inch, he was not afraid of the skeletons that coming towards him. Vicar tried to step in but Sir Esmir told him not to do so. 

He then raises his war hammer in the air and some light begins to gather around it. He then smashes the one skeleton that already within Sir Esmir range. The bones of the skeleton shattered into pieces and were on the ground. 

Vicar warns Sir Esmir that it was still not dead and tell him to be careful about it. Sir Esmir laugh when he heard Vicar trying to say that the skeleton was not dead yet. 

"I know! Don't worry about it, just crush the skeleton head and it would never rise again." Sir Esmir that crush the skull with his war hammer. He handles the rest of the skeletons pretty easily. 

After all of the skeletons been dealt with, Sir Esmir said that there might be more in the area and told Vicar to stay alert all of the time. While we were still moving forward towards the town gate, Vicar turned to look at the skeletons that Sir Esmir had to crush. 

Their bones were still on the ground and it seems like they would stay that way. We have gained knowledge that was to crush the skull of a skeleton and they would be dead forever again. Vicar was just about to ask about the sacrifice thing again but we encountered another undead. 

It was related to the topics that Vicar just about to ask, we encounter an Elite Skeleton here in the trade central area. Sir Esmir told Vicar to guard him against behind as he tried to handle the Elite Skeleton alone. He just doesn't want any other skeletons interrupting the fight. He also told Vicar not to interfere with this fight as he afraid the Vicar might get harm. 

Sir Esmir charges towards the Elite Skeleton, the elite skeleton notice that Sir Esmir was there. The elite skeleton swings it gigantic mace but Sir Esmir just hit it with his war hammer instead of dodging it as we do. We were surprised that Sir Esmir was not blown away by the strength of the giant mace. 

It was the Elite Skeleton that had lost its balance after that clash as it falls to the ground. I was surprised to see it and realize that Sir Esmir was indeed a powerful adventurer. I was intrigued by it and decided to check his stats and somehow I was amazed by it.

Sir Esmir was on level 50 and no wonder that he could still be standing after that. His strength was more than the Elite Skeleton itself. 

There were some skeletons appear near us, Sir Esmir already expected it and he already gives us the instruction to kill it as he will deal with the Elite Skeleton on his own. The skeletons aren't that powerful and thanks to Sir Esmir, we now know the way to kill them. 

We managed to kill the skeletons that were approaching us and when we turned to see Sir Esmir, the Elite Skeletons were already been defeated by him. Its head was already being crush by Sir Esmir and we kinda expect that Sir Esmir would win the battle. 

"I thought that you can't fight but I was mistaken..." Sir Esmir said that as he was watching Vicar defeats all of the skeletons. 

"I can handle myself just fine, it's just that I lack experience of fighting..." Vicar said. 

"Now that you have experienced some of it, let's go to the town gate." 

"Why? We already defeated the Elite Skeleton..." Vicar asks.

"I doubt that there was just one of them, seeing how much people missing in this area... I would assume that there were twenty of them in the area." Sir Esmir said that. 

I was surprised when I heard Sir Esmir said that there were twenty of them here in the trade central area. I somehow believe it as there were a lot of people here. I was still wondering about the sacrifice thing but it seems that it needs to be on hold now as we need to deal with the skeletons again. 

More skeletons appeared out of nowhere and we somehow were surrounded by it. We know that it's weak but their number was a lot. I don't know where the hell they appear from but it was a bad thing for us right now, we only had two people here. 

I doubt that Sir Esmir could handle numbers like this, there were like hundreds of them here and I could see that there were some Elite Skeletons among them. It will be hard but we had to just believe that we could handle it. 

"It seems that we could not go to the town gate yet, this skeletons wanted us to be here..." Sir Esmir said as he was in his battle stance. 

"Yup! It looks like that they really wanted to hold us here..." Vicar holds his swords and prepares for the skeletons attacks.
