Dungeon and Skeletons (3)

When this troublesome fight had finally ended, I looked upon the ground and saw corpses made of bones lying on the ground. I then looked back at the leader and said

"So, about the promise..."

"Y-yes, I shall be your subordinate," she said while trembling in fear.

"No need to be formal."

"Yes, my lord."

"Hmm? she adapts quite fast. interesting." I said in my mind.

"Since you're now my subordinate, I will grant you a wish."

"Then, can you help my subordinate?"

"Sure, gather them and line them up nicely."

"I will never forget your kindness, my lord."

"[GUIDE], your suggestion?"

[I SUGGEST USING THE OBTAINED SKILL, [POISON BREATH] TO HEAL THE UNDEAD, BECAUSE THE SPELL AND THE UNDEAD BOTH ARE RELATED TO THE [DARK] ELEMENT]

"Ok, thanks."

[NO PROBLEM]

I then proceed to invoke the skill, [POISON BREATH] and directed it to the skeletons that were lined up all thanks to their leader. When I invoked [POISON BREATH], a purple fog started flowing from inside my mouth, and when it had reached the targets, wounds began to disappear, and the skeletons start to gain consciousness. When they came to, swordswomen charged at me, while the magicians started invoking their magic, but their efforts were futile as their leader yelled

"Stop your actions this instant!"

"But ma'am, why?" Said one of the skeletons.

"Because he's the one who saved you in times of need, also he is now my lord. Understood?"

"YES, MA'AM!"

"Hmm, they adapt quickly as well, is this supposed to be a trait?" I said in my mind.

One of the swordswomen came up to me and whispered

"This isn't over yet." She said while making a slitting throat gesture.

"Hmm, I guess that wasn't a trait, but obedience(?)"

When all the issues regarding this matter had been dealt with, I remembered something I wanted to ask the ghost.

"Where are the ghost territories located?"

"Well, most ghosts don't have a settlement as why we are called [WANDERING GHOST]"

"I see, that was insensitive of me," I said in my head

"While the one that has a place to stay, it's usually a place with no light radiating from neither the outside or the inside."

"Then, would you mind showing me to yours?"

"I don't mind, but, there are other ghosts other than me currently staying at the place."

"I don't mind, the more, the merrier."

"But I'm warning you, some ghosts aren't like me, you could say they're a bit 'wild' if you know what I'm talking about."

"It's okay, in the first place, I wanted to know more about the residents living in this dungeon."

"Okay, but I warned you."

When all the arrangements had been finished, we headed out to the ghost's settlement, but on our way there, we encountered troublesome foes such as demonic beasts and the like. Of course, I killed them with ease to earn myself some experience points, when we reached our destination, all of them were frightened at the sight of the skeletons. Honestly, when we were trying to try and persuade them using talk no jutsu, and instead of calming them, they instead got irritated and started to throw their belongings to us. Of course, they weren't the only one who got angry, so instead of continuing the persuasion, I threatened them by using brute force, but that just made them scared, but luckily, the ghost pitched in and explained the situation to them. When the ghosts had finally calmed down the tension within them, I and the other skeletons started introducing ourselves, all the ghosts did was stare at us with eyes filled with curiosity, when our introduction had finished I asked a ghost (who seems knowledgeable) some fundamental questions about this world, as what kind of questions I asked. We'll save them for later, as for now, I'll need to lighten the mood between me and the ghosts. As for what to do…

"What if I were to teach them martial arts, like for self-defence?" is what I thought in my head

But then I just realized that they probably wouldn't be needing that as of right now, well, since they are ghosts, physical attacks shouldn't affect them, so I thought lots about how to raise their level fast, but in the end, I couldn't come up with an answer, but when I almost gave up on it, I just remembered one of my skills that being gave me, [KING'S BLESSING], but then again only my subordinates can have the skill's effect, so in the end I gave up on the idea how to raise their level.

But suddenly…

I'm using this kind of format from now on, and please, share your opinion so that i can improve on my writing skill!
