6 Chapter 6: At Death Knight's Mercy
Poison Sting
Guillotine Trap
Poisonous Breath from skull Statue
Metal Flail
Wall Crusher
Guts and Co. almost died because of this activated traps
"This kind of trap was triggered only with living beings" Olf said to them after he inspected all of activated traps and came to conclusion, he along with Kuno insists on become their scout after this, they are veteran to this kind of thing so others only to obey.
The other two Scouts also join them and help for dismantling traps, the two (Kuno and Olf) Instruct them how flawlessly deactivate it. after them was others followed behind for any upcoming battles
==========
P.O.V of Olf
"Battle Formation! Vanguard Triangle Formation dont let any of them slip pass to our rear!" After I cry those, my party Immediately positioned themselves, infront was clacking sounds of skeletons.
So Damn many skeletons.
So I hurriedly charged fast and pierce through their very center and targeted any long ranged type skeleton of everything I saw.
If by chance there's a bunch of Long range type skeleton, we're screwed for sure. Like that, we smoothly and slowly destroyed them, some vanguard was Injured but because we had cure' potion and healer type mage, that thing is neglible.
...
Another hour later and again we encounter hundreds or maybe twice the amount from our first battle. SHIT!.. Some of them are digging using their boney arm or sword.. wasn't that mineral their digging? Wait. I dont know exactly what kind of minerals their mining but.
==========
P.O.V of Kuno
There's something amiss, were only battling Skeleton Warriors, Mages and Archers until this point. Some are also mixed like Black skeletons, but their numbers is almost infinite, this is kind of taxing specially for newbies. What to do.
...
..
.
Its been 6 hours since then, or maybe more than that? Our total rest is ony 1 hour. We've only been dismantling traps and killing Skeletons here and there, even those mining skeletons is too much to handle that we almost wiped our asses, still, those are mere skeletons so we can still manage and clean them out but thats why there's something amiss, by chance if, unintelligent Boss monster resides in this Dungeon there's no point if he commanded this skeletons to work to their bone and not summon higher tier Undead! So I conclude this BOSS isnt your run in a mill normal Boss. What's more this Mineral isnt a mere level-3 Adventurer can have. Im not sure, but maybe level-4 and above knows this stuff.
"Lindo!", I called Lindo one of our Archer scout as I look at Olf, he only Nod, I knew it....
After what I whispered at Lindo, he basically nod, seconds later he took out a piece of paper and feather like pen, he then wrote what I said, fold it and took out a small Bird from his bag again and insert the letter from where a small plastic attached on its small leg, the bird is just small as my palm.
Before he finish what he's doing I moved forward and I nod to Olf.
After the bird flew away, I only sigh and move forward.
I'm counting on you!
==========
P.O.V of Olf
As I thought, this isnt your daily normal Dungeons, this is far beyond what Guild Adventurer's currently release Difficulty. But, we still have to test our Luck! If we gave up now the BOSS of this Dungeon is going to get even more stronger day by day.
After Kuno looked at me and called for 'Emergency Alert' I only nod and he do the Job.
This kind of thing is an Exclusive for any Level-3 Raid Leader and above. Meaning, this Dungeon is beyond the average Level of our party, worst case is, if they go out to the surface and run havoc the nearest village will surely be destroyed without resistance.
An Adventurer isn't liable for this one in a million chance kind of Dungeon that emerged, but for I and Kuno and as a veteran Adventurer, this isn't ignorable.
'Haaaaaa', when I sigh Kuno patted my shoulder. The resolve in his eye is melted my worry.
I fake my smile, Look at my Party and said.
"Lets go!".
Atleast we'll have to decrease its minions before we retreat..
...
I die if you die! If one of you will be killed in front of my very Eye, I will follow you.... To the very Depths of Oblivion.
...
==========
Its now been half a day when Guts and co. Entered Nocturne Cave.....
TTANG TTANG
CLANG CLANG
Guts is parrying Death Knight's assault one after another.
They arrived here not too long ago but this Death Knight was unstoppable.
But what Irritated him is that he' isn't its Target even though he's doing his best by taking its Aggro.
Their Aquamancer's right arm' was cut after this Death Knight entered their rear formation and continue its assault.
Kuno was Supporting the Vanguard to his very best against Lich' Boss so theres no room for supporting their back, if there was, its only futile as his magic arrow parried by the Death Knight without looking at him.
'Damn, Stay safe guys!' Kuno Thought. Even though his Vanguard team isn't as good condition as his rear team.
==========
P.O.V of Death Knight
I don't like this! Whats more, my body is moving on its own and this Lich dare to Command me!
I, Eris, Knight of Eight, Sword Saint of Gamma Kingdom! The one called Thousand Murderer! obeying this low life command? this is humiliating! My subordinates sure are laughing at me from Hell!
But Im glad he 'Commanded' me to play at this group of men's back row, He even separated this group from others using his malignant spell. So damn dirty bastard.
But thats not my problem.
Now lets return back. His [Area of Command] in this area was weak. Hmpf! I will to kill his skeleton chump from here without him knowing.
Im sure he already had a Hunch that I can sometimes 'Resist' his Command so he selfishly let me stay by his side before, even if he didn't wanted to.
Now then, this Green Horned small creature is pain in the ass, I have no choice but to cut its comrade's hand and instill fear, but this kid is persistent like the one I know, this kid had a future attached in his shoulder so Im doubting to end its life.
'GROAAAAAAWWWWRRR'
[Halfmoon Pierce]
Get out of my way!!!
I unleash my Favorite skill, My Rapier multiply by two then four, then eight, sixteen, thirty two till it insanely multiply like the tip of my sword and create half-circle like wave, it pierces anything within its grasps. Heh' I really like this skill of mine.
TTANG TTANG
CRACK CRACK
Multiple bone crack and sword clashing could be heard, some skeleton try to parry my skill but only in vain, of course how the hell a mere skeleton can parry my one deadliest attack? Dream on!
Now after I unleash my skill, Hundred meter in front of me turned to ashes especially those skeleton soldiers.
or so I thought.
The skeleton perished but... I see, during my skill activation this kid called out his team and gather at his back.
'GRRRRROOOOOOAAAAAAA'
ARE YOU STUPID!?
I cry, you stupid asshole sacrificing yourself for others!.. GAH!
Who am I to preach you, Im so Dumb to reprimand you, yes? I grip my sheath and my body tremble every time I remember my life, 'sigh' I reborn only to become a killing machine.
Then I feel killing intent and a Gusts of wind and I Immediately slide my body to the left using my boney right foot to kick the ground, but before I knew it the kid Goblin is now on my right side five meters near, and my right hand is now broken after I check what happened.
"I see, you are formidable swordsman of your time, but please don't look down on Adventurer. That will cost you your life a second time.." He lifted his left arm holding short sword and pointed it towards me, he then drop the small round shield on the ground which full of holes, his green body covered with injury with light green blood especially his right arm who had shielding my last strike, but what's surprising was his horn.... It shrink its size? His emerald green eye became black and lifeless now, and full of cold freezing killing intent, if that stare can kill, I already turned to shreaded iced now.
Also, some heavy fog of this cave concentrating near him, hovering and slowly circling his entire body.
So damn cold.
...
Father, I will becom- no!, I will surpass you!' A voice of a cheerful little boy flashes from Death Knight Memory
'Why now of all times' He thought.
