Reincarnated As The Hero Ring

It was because that this place ain't full of just giant rats now, it also occupied by the skeletons. We didn't know what had happened here but it seems that the giant rats didn't attack the skeletons, it's like the monster had become allies. 

"Look at the corner... Did you see that particular skeletons?" Vicar ask me whether I see it or not. 

"I see it, it does seem different from the rest that we had fought right..." I said that to Vicar. 

We even noticed among the skeletons there was a new type that we didn't even see before, it was different from the Elite Skeletons and the Skeletal Mage. I realized that it might be the highest-ranking of the skeletal monster. 

This new type of skeletons that we had discovered does have a weapon but its weapon was made of their own bone. It was a bone whip and it's quite a long one. The new skeletons didn't wear any armor or robes, it was like a normal skeleton but with a bone whip. 

Somehow I began to think that it might not be that powerful as it didn't wear anything, but again a new type was always dangerous as we didn't know what kind of stats and skill it has. We can't let our guards down even if it was weak. 

"Do you think that the new type of skeletons is more dangerous?" He said that as Vicar think that the new type will be more powerful than others. 

"I do think so because every time we fought a new one, it will be more powerful than the one that we had fought," I said that as I check the new type of skeletons stats.

The name of this type of skeletons was Skeletal Tamer, I began to realize that this new type of skeletons might be the cause of why the giant rats didn't attack the skeletons. As the name of this skeleton already describes what could this type of skeleton do. 

When I see the stats of the skeletal tamer, I noticed that it doesn't like the stats of elite skeletons or skeletal mage. As its stats were much lower than both of the skeletal monsters we had a fight. This one was pretty much an upgrade to a normal skeleton. 

To think that I even thought that this new type of skeletons would be the first ranking among the skeletal monster, this skeletal tamer could just be easily defeated by Vicar in no time. I didn't even bother to check the skeletal tamer skills as it might not be that dangerous. 

"Vicar! The new type is called skeletal tamer.... you could beat it easily as it was not that strong as the Elite Skeletons." I rely on the info on Vicar as it might help him. 

"If you say that, I guess I had to finish this as quickly as I can..." Vicar said that as he started to attack. 

Vicar really has gotten stronger as the giant rats didn't prove to be that powerful as before. It might be because he had leveled up a bit as he does kill a lot of skeletons. I still remember that these giant rats prove to be a real problem back then as we need to turn back and find another way to enter the town. 

But again, most of the power does come from me. If I hadn't leveled up myself, we would have a very hard time fighting the skeletons before and the giant rats now. I didn't think that Vicar could survive the battle against the undead without me powering him up. 

As I thought that it was gonna be easy, Vicar was overwhelmed by the number of giant rats and skeletons in here. Suddenly, giant rats jumped and bite into the ankle of Vicar. He screamed in pain as he kills the giant rats that bite him with his dagger immediately. 

"Behind you, Vicar!" I warn Vicar as another giant rat tried to attack Vicar with its claws from behind. 

Hearing my warning, Vicar immediately turns behind. He stabs his dagger forward and kills the giant rat that trying to attack him. With that injury on his ankle, Vicar could move that much as he just could stay in one spot. The giant rat's teeth were quite sharp and it has to make it hurt. 

"Drink some health potion! Fast..." I said that as Vicar injuries were quite serious. 

Vicar pulls out a potion from his pouch, flicks out the cork, and chugs it down quickly as other giant rats were about to attack us. The effect of the potion has healed out the wound in Vicar's ankle and enable him to fight as normal again. 

While Vicar was still fighting, I noticed that we had wasted a lot of time here. While we fighting the giant rats here, the casualty of the battle against the undead has increased. We need to hurry up and defeat the monster here to proceed. 

I then realized something, what happens if the skeletal tamer was defeated. Will the giant rats start attacking the skeletons. I don't know whether it will work out like I think it will but I do think there nothing wrong if I tried that. To prove that I need to know whether the skeletal tamer was the one that controls the giant rats now.

=A much more powerful version of the skeleton. It ranks among the lowest of the other skeletal monster. This type of skeletons usually fights with a bone whip that could be dangerous for an unprepared opponent.

The skeletal tamer does have the skill to control monsters and it somehow makes me think that this could actually work. 

"Hey, Vicar? Could ignore the giant rats and focus on the skeletal tamer..." I said that to Vicar. 

"Why?" He asks me. 

"This is just a theory but I think that if we defeat the skeletal tamer first, the giant rats would start to attack the skeletons," I said that to him. 

"Are you sure about that?" Vicar asks as he still was unsure about it. 

"I'm sure about it as the skeletal tamer has the skill to control monster..." I said that to Vicar. 

"If you are that sure about this, I guess we could try it." He said that as change immediately attacks the skeletal tamer. 

It was really that easy to kill the skeletal tamer, it does try to attack us with its bone whip when we were near but Vicar could easily dodge it. The elite skeletons do prove to be harder to defeat than the skeletal tamer. 

With one of the skeletal tamer defeated, I began to see some reaction change from the giant rats but it wasn't attacking the skeletons yet as there was still some skeletal tamer here. It just in a matter of minutes for Vicar to defeat all of the skeletal tamers.

After all of the skeletal tamer has been defeated, the giant rats started to attack the skeletons just like I had thought it will do after been released from the skeletal tamer control. The battle between the giant rats and the skeletons has begun here in the secret path. 

"You were right about that, I worked like you had thought it will be..." Vicar said that as he didn't believe that it would work. 

"Why are you still standing here! Let go and hurried up and escaped this place, before the giant rats and the skeletons started to attack us..." I said that to Vicar as this was our chance to escape as we didn't get surrounded anymore. 

Listening to what I just had said, Vicar realized that this was the chance to escape. He immediately runs towards the exit. There were some giant rats and skeletons that tried to attack us but we did manage to defeat it easily without that much trouble.

I still glowing brightly and because of that Vicar could see and finally reach the exit was. I remember that this place was where Vicar and Tane fight the giant rats. How I wish Tane would be here with us as the team doesn't complete without him. 

Vicar then climbed up the ladder and open the manhole cover and we finally out from the secret path. We were now at the outer wall and we realized that the situation here was much worse.

There were many skeletons here and we realized that there was another type of skeleton here at the outer wall. We also saw many bodies of dead town guard here, it must be quite the fight between the skeletons and the guards here.
