Collecting Rewards

Lovo and the remaining Skeletons turned towards the Alpha and charged! He have a command to Grimmal as the rest ran. Grimmal and the Alpha were rolling around on the ground fighting one another. Grimmal moved himself to have his back on the ground and kicked the Alpha off of him. While running Lovo picked up the sword Julki was using.

The Alpha was sent a couple feet away, but was sandwiched between the group. Grimmal was on one side with Lovo and the last 2 skeletons on the other. Seeing its predicament it chose to stand and fight. It had the strength to conquer its pact, it won't let piles of bones and meat win without a fight!

As Grimmal leaped at the Alpha it's Tail Whip ability evolved. It stood still and spun hitting Grimmal in the face and sending it 10ft away.

-[30]

Out of sheer desperation and anger it's Tail Whip skill evolved. No longer needing to move a distance to build up the power to send targets flying.

'Man this thing is getting tougher!'

Bulwark reached the Alpha first and tried to bash it with its shield. Only to get hit by another Tail Whip and shattered to pieces.

-[40]

[ Skeletok Bulwark has perished]

Bone pieces went flying in every direction. Even with Bulwark death Atlas was close enough behind him to swing his falchion before the Alpha could Tail Whip again!

He took his giant sword and swung down on the tail!

[30] (Critical)

*Blich*

He managed to cut the tail off the Alpha. The beast howled in pain and lashed out at Atlas!

-[20] -[20]

Ignoring the damage Atlas fought in drawing the monsters aggro. Grimmal attacked from behind while Lovo flanked from the other side. Lovo lashed out with both swords at the Alpha.

[15] [15] (Bleeding proc)x2

[4] [4]

'Finally some good news!'

He just managed to the bleed affect to proc. Not just on one sword but both!

The left side of the Alpha had two jagged cuts from the underside of its belly to its side. It quickly turned to strike at Lovo but was stopped by Gimmal. The skeleton beast managed to tackle the Alpha to the ground. It was a disturbing sight. Since Grimmal had the skeleton of a snake and was more a ribcage, he managed to open its ribcage. Like a mouth opening it latched on around the Alpha and shoved its bones into the ground.

[20]

It was easy pickings at this point.

"How dare you help thessse deal breakersss!"

The Alpha yelled out cursing Lovo and his skeletons. Lovo simply stood there and nodded at Atlas. Taking his large falchion he pointed it at the head of the Alpha while it was yelling and thrusted. He shoved his blade straight down the mouth of the Alpha.

[100]

He definitely killed it. He slowly pulled the blade out seeing it covered in blood and viscera. Lovo noticed he leveled up again. He was back at full health and mana. He once again had 5 attribute points and 1 skill point. He spent all 5 attribute points on his intelligence to raise his mana and decided to save the 1 skill point for later.

"Man that was a tough battle, but I leveled up. Let's see if I can bring these skeletons back to life."

Lovo ordered Atlas and Grimmal to start collecting the bones of Julki, since he was scattered around. First was Bulwark. He went over the bones and used his Raise Dead skill.

The same red mist bellowed out his hand can covered the bones. Still not being able to see through it he wasn't sure if Bulwark was being reconstructed. Although he could hear the bones clattering and moving so he know at least a skeleton was being made.

As the red mist disappeared a skeleton revealed itself with a mace in its left hand and a shield in the other.

[Bulwark, Skeleton lv 1

Hp 120]

"Yes it does bring him back! And it bring back their weapons also! Sweet! I should definitely make some armor and test it out."

With that Lovo was confident and brought back both Strider and Julki.

[Strider, Skeleton lv 1

Hp 100]

[Julki, Blood Skeleton lv 2

Hp 110

Mana 20]

"Interesting. Julki managed to level up and I can see more of their stats. He also now has mana. I'm not sure if the others do also or if it's because Julki was a vampire before? Maybe I can ask Karik."

Looking at Atlas and Grimmal both had large chunks of bones missing and fractures in other bones.

"Now. How can I fix those? I know I can dismiss you and resummon you to fix the issues but that will cost a lot of mana. Let me try something."

Lovo closed his eyes and channeled his mana to his hands. Heating them up like he did crafting the weapons. He had Atlas hold out it's arm that was only fractured. He placed his hands on the skeletons bony arm and moved his hands up and down.

[4] [4]

Noticing the notifications of dealing damage he opened his eyes. He accidentally melted Atlas's arm off!

"Ah shit. I'm sorry buddy."

Atlas dropped his sword to the ground and picked up his arm. He tried shoving his melted arm back together to no avail.

"Let me try something else."

Lovo sat down and had Atlas do the same. He focused on his mana again and this time instead of envisioning a liquid passing through his body but a gas. He pushed it out of his hands again. Once again forgetting to control it. Red mist shot out of his hand and on to Atlas!

[10]

"Ah shit I'm sorry Atlas."

Atlas looked like he was made of wax and slowly melting. His arm was melted off, his chest was melted and even his skull was slightly melted. If he wasn't happy Lovo couldn't tell.

"Let me try again. Not as powerful this time."

This time he just let the gaseous mana flows naturally this time. He felt it move from his stomach to his chest and lungs before moving up to his throat and mouth. Using both his focus and how much he opened his mouth the red mist sprayed out of his mouth gently on Atlas. The mist was slower then normal but completely envelop Atlas. After a handful of seconds Lovo stopped and watched. He stood up and circled the mist that covered Atlas. After 2 seconds went by the mist disappeared. Atlas was fully healed!

[ New Skill acquired: Bone Restore]

[Bone Restore: Costa 10 mana.

-Heals undead creature by 50% it's maximum HP]

"Hey that's great. Just hate that it's comes out my mouth…"

[Atlas, Skeleton lv 1

Hp 150]

"Huh. Wonder why you have more health then the rest. I need to ask Karik about all this later."

Lovo turned back to Grimmal. He used his Bone Restore skill. Same red mist traveled out his mouth and completely covered the bone beast. After a couple seconds the mist dissipated and revealed a pristine white skeleton.

[Grimmal, Bone Beast lv 4

Hp 200]

"You too?! You were a Wolfaconda Skeleton before. Now you're a bone beast?"

At this point the fighting was done the Goblin made himself known.
