The archers loaded their bow, and shoot at the skeleton beasts, although the arrows shot by Tier 1 Archers manage to cracked the normal skeleton beast. However, it was not enough to make them stop. The only exemption was the Tier 2 Archer, who can make the skulls of normal skeleton beasts crumbled to pieces.

However, there were thousands of them. They were watching the horde of a skeleton beast with a gloomy expression.

After they killed the skeleton beast earlier, all the skeletons in the place received a signal, and then gallop towards their location.

In just a day, Zadrum increases his skeleton beast to one thousand, with the help of his new two human skeletons.

That's why he loves humanoid creatures, to make his skeletons. He can just sit, and let his slaves do the work. He levels up to ten levels in just a day, his total level was now level 246.

"Knights and Shield Bearer!! use your shield blast!!." Nedes give a command.

When the skeletons were in the scope of their 'Shield Blast' skill, they then used it at the same time.

"BOOM"

A green aura simultaneously covered their shield, then a strong air pressure blasted the skeletons in front, blasting them back, some of the skeleton beasts broke to pieces.

They use a skill that needs a wind elemental, although they don't have a wind elemental aura, they can still used it. However, it's not as strong as the person who has wind affinity.

Everyone can use any elemental skill, however, skills were rare. Even a Tier 1 skill has a price of 1000 gold coins. So, they rarely bought skills that were not related to their elemental affinity. Adventurers can only either work hard or join a faction. Most clans had a lot of skills stored, however, most adventurers don't want to become guards of some clan and be restricted. So, their only choice was to join an adventurer team.

Shield blast was a Tier 1 skill, that can be bought with contribution points in their headquarters. They will get contribution points through quests, the points they get varied from the quest's Grade.

After that, the warriors follow up the attack. There was some fire-related skill that burns the normal skeleton beast's fragile bones, a wind slash that cutting them like tofu.

On the other hand, Zadrum was watching them through the eyes of a zombie crow. He can summon other undead creatures, like zombies, ghouls...

If he has a face right now, he would be smirking. Furthermore, he was watching them like he was enjoying the show.

Currently, he can only control up to a thousand undead with his title. Greater than that would make his undead uncontrollable, so even if he can make an infinite undead, it still depends on how strong he is. As he grows stronger, his soul would also become stronger, where he can control more undead.

Furthermore, right now, he only has some Tier 3 skills in his memory. All of his Tier 4 to Tier 8 skills, we're foggy on his mind. He thought that His Majesty was the one that sealed his memory, so he was fearful of Fendrel.

He doesn't have a clue about His Majesty, all he knows was before he got summoned. He was in a dark place, where he can't see a thing, even his own body, everything was pitch black. The place was neither cold nor hot, contrary it was comfortable.

And his mind there was a voice that keeps on repeating a sentence.

"Serve the one who will summon you, he will help you become stronger again..."

"Serve the one who will summon you, he will help you become stronger again..."

"Serve the one who will summon you, he will help you become stronger again..."

He didn't get annoyed by the voice, on the contrary, it was soothing that keep him have peace of mind.

Zadrum makes all the skeletons stop their attack, then commanded them to retreat through his mind.

Seeing the skeleton suddenly stopped their attacks and retreated. Nedes frown, he was unsure of what was happening. The rest was also bewildered, seeing the hundreds of skeleton beast retreated. Although this was their first time battling skeletons, however, any sane person would know an undead wouldn't retreat in a battle. All of them looked at their Captain, who was also confused.

Eventually, he sighs and gives a command. "Let's continue... Be alert."

"Captain, do you want us to scout ahead?" Mozak asked.

"No, all of you just stay here and fight alongside the warriors." He said.

Nedes didn't want them to scout ahead. Because he had a bad feeling, about everything that happens in this forest.

They then continued, the Shield Bearers and Knight we're on high alert. It's creepy because the forest just went quiet, adding to the heavy atmosphere.

Nedes was in the middle of the group, he was using his aura to sense the surroundings. However, he didn't find anything. As though, the skeletons earlier were just an illusion.

As they go deeper, the atmosphere, also been to get heavier. Some of the Tier 1 even began to breathe heavily, their body also began to get heavy.

"Nedes, this is bad. Can't you feel anything? As we continue, the air also began to get thinner, we are having difficulty breathing." Jessica motion the rest to stop, he was the only mage of the Crystal Horned adventurer group, so he was quite respected.

Becoming a mage was not easy, much less become a successful mage. That's why mages were being respected, wherever they go.

Nedes looked around and found out that they were really breathing heavily. he spoke. "Ohh, I am completely fine. So, I didn't know you all having difficulty breathing."

"You are really built differently, even a place with a lack of oxygen, won't give you any inconvenience." Jessica can't help but rolled his eyes.

"Hmm, not really, I do feel uncomfortable for some unknown reason..." Nedes said.
