Reincarnated As The Hero Ring

Before I think any further, Vicar said to me that there nothing else we could do and just be prepared to defend ourselves if the skeletons notice us when we were searching for Eli in this area. 

"Don't push yourself to think a way ring, I know you didn't want me to get hurt but this was the only way left to do," Vicar said that as he trying to convince me. 

When I think about what Vicar had said, I do think that he was right. I'm pushing myself too hard to find the safest plan to search for Eli. I guess I'm gonna follow Vicar's idea on this one as he the one that should decide what he gonna do. 

Besides fighting the skeletons and using the vanish skill both will be ended with Vicar either he gets killed or gets erased from the world. So I do think that he was the one that should decide which option he takes. If he decided to go with fighting the skeletons, I shouldn't object to it.

"You are right, I do think too much... this time I will agree with you but please don't attract the attention of the skeletons," I said that as I agree with Vicar's plan on how to find Eli.

"Let search for her then but don't worry I would try my best to not gain any attention..." Vicar said that as he slowly walks forward. 

We begin to look around, trying to find Eli. I know that it would be hard to find her in this area but we couldn't give up as we must remove the dark ring from his finger or else these skeletons would keep on spawning. If that happens, this town could get destroy by the skeletons. 

To prevent that from happening, we must find Eli quickly. So far we didn't find Eli yet but also the skeletons still didn't notice our presence here in the area. I wish that we could stay undetected at least until we find Eli but the skeletons already aware of our presence here. 

All of the skeleton's gaze was turned toward Vicar as the skeletons begin to move towards us slowly. We had another choice that was to run away but there was an area that we hadn't checked yet as the place was full of skeletons. 

So Vicar decided to stay and fight the skeletons if he could defeat the skeletons that seem to be impossible to defeat just by looking at their number alone. We could check the area and we might even find Eli in one of those unchecked areas.

"Don't run out of stamina again, this time no one will be able to save you..." I warn Vicar to look out for his stamina when he fighting the skeleton. 

"Thanks for the warning! I will make sure to save up some stamina to escape, if I forget just simply remind me..." Vicar said that as he takes out his dagger. 

As expected the basic skeletons don't stand a chance against Vicar as it was really easy to shatter its skulls. I do notice that this area doesn't have any Elite skeletons and Skeletal mage. It might be because this area has the strongest skeletal monster and that was the Skeleton Lord. 

Because of the sound, the Skeleton Lord finally notice us here. I thought that the skeleton lord would be approaching us slowly but the moment it saw us, the skeleton lord charges toward us. Both Vicar and I knew that this would not be an easy fight. 

Every swing of the skeleton lord blade nearly hit us as Vicar could only able to dodge in just in time. The speed of the skeleton lord was much faster than the elite skeleton. Vicar did try to hit the skeleton lord with his dagger but the skeleton lord managed to block it with its shield. 

While fighting the skeleton lord, we noticed that none of the other skeletons interfere with the fight. It's like the skeletons were told not to do so. But thanks to that we could focus only on the skeleton lord without the need to think about whether there will be an attack from the skeletons nearby. 

Even though we only fight the skeleton lord only, it still feels like we fighting hundreds of elite skeletons and skeletal mage. Vicar didn't manage to even land a hit on the skeleton lord as it's kept blocking every attack that comes near it. 

It's almost like the skeleton lord knew when Vicar was about to attack and immediately block it with its shield. Vicar just barely able to dodge all of the skeleton attacks, I do know that all of the time Vicar has been using his skill to boost his own stats as if he didn't do so he might not be able to dodge the attack. 

I don't know why but it's like even with my stats that have been combined with Vicar stats, Vicar still proves to be much slower than the skeleton lord. I really didn't understand why Vicar movement was slower, there must be some reason behind it. 

I realized that Vicar will soon run out of stamina and will be killed if he runs out of stamina like in the trade central area as he can't even stand up or move a little bit. 

"Vicar! I think we should retreat for now..." I said that as Vicar looks exhausted. 

"I agree with you, I do think that I need to rest up a little while." He said that as he begins to back away slowly. 

Suddenly, we didn't expect that the skeleton lord to do that. As we never saw any skeletons were able to do what the skeleton lord could do, that was able to speak. 

"Foolish Human! Do you think you could escape from here, we will keep on the battle until one of us died..." The skeleton lord speaks his first word to us. 

Vicar was really surprised by it as he replies back, "You can speak! I never know a skeleton could speak..." Vicar said that as he really didn't believe that the skeleton lord can talk. 

"Don't even compare me with the rest of the skeletons, human! I'm the skeleton lord and I'm special..." The skeleton lord said that. 

"Is that so? The ring told me that you just have the same skill with the elite skeleton and the skeletal mage, nothing about you is special besides that you could talk..." Vicar said that as he tried still trying to back away slowly. 

The skeleton lord didn't reply back to Vicar but I think what Vicar said had made the skeleton lord furious. As the other skeletons around us suddenly approaches us and started to attack us. It must be that the skeleton lord commands the skeletons to attack us. 

"Fight me! And I will command the skeletons to stop..." The skeleton lord told us to fight him. 

When the skeleton lord said that, I realize that I could make use of what the skeleton lord had just said to the Vicar. What if Vicar was able to convince the skeleton lord to stop all of the skeletons including the ones in the town. It would really help to lower the causalities. 

I told this to Vicar and he didn't think that the skeleton lord would agree to the request, he said to me that to never trust someone especially if that person was an undead. I can't believe that he said that as Vicar was the one that trust Eli was a good person. 

"Just try Vicar! Maybe the skeleton would hear our request..." I said that as we didn't even try.

"Fine, let me ask the skeleton lord," Vicar said that as he talks with the skeleton lord. 

When Vicar said that he would agree to fight the skeleton lord if only the skeleton lord stops every skeleton that was in the area and inside the town. The skeleton lord just simply laughs at Vicar. 

"Stupid human! You can't make any demand as I'm the one that allowed to do that..." The skeleton lord said that as it still laughing. 

"Then, I will not fight you... Besides, I could easily defeat any skeletons that tried to block my way to escape." Vicar said that as he didn't want to fight. 

"You dared defy my request human! Aren't you the hero of this town?" The skeleton lord said that as the skeleton lord believe that Vicar was a hero. 

"Hero? I'm not even a hero just a temporary town guard that decided to protect the town..." Vicar said that.

"There no way that you wasn't a hero, you could not lie to me... Everyone that face me would die immediately by my sword. " The skeleton lord said as it still believes that.

I don't know why the skeleton lord believe that Vicar was a hero. He was just a simple man that wanted to protect the town that he loves.
