Asgold the necromancer

Walking up to Asgold and his minions, which are crafting weapons, he spots us and starts to walk towards us with a few of his soldiers.

"Well, well, well, what brings this ragtag team here? Interrupting my training grounds." He asks.

"We are only here to take in Oliver. We don't want to fight you unless we have to." Julian replies.

"Well, that's a problem. I brought him here to train him. Luckily, the dragon king allowed us here as long as we could provide some food for his people and took care of some not so pleasant dragons." Asgold says as his soldiers draw swords, and the skeletal dragon with boney plates of armor walks up behind him.

"I see there's no way to talk you out of this if you want to make Oliver your own," Julian says while his soldiers start to March towards us.

"If you want him, then you can have him, but only over my dead body." Asgold replies, his soldiers running toward us and his skelatol dragon charging.

I charge the dragon, the others taking care of the soldiers while Calu goes for Asgold.

I jump at the dragon, and it swipes its tail at me. I quickly dodge and knock its armor off before it can hit me.

It screeches loudly as its tail is now only bones, and the bone armor on its tail is gone.

I land on the ground, and the dragon swipes at me again with its claws. I block the claws with my sword, but the force knocks me back.

I get up and notice the dragon is preparing for a breath attack. I quickly dive to the side as a purple beam shoots from its mouth, destroying the ground. I quickly get up and charge back towards the dragon.

It swipes at me, and I dodge under its leg, cutting its side with my sword. It roars in pain before slamming its other claw down onto me. I roll out of the way of its claw and cut the other side of its neck.

The dragon falls to the ground, dead, and I turn to see if anyone else needs help. Calu is fighting Asgold, and the two seem evenly matched. The others are winning and are almost done.

I turn back and run to Asgold, slashing him in the back and leaving a cut in his armor.

He stumbles forward, and Calu punches him, breaking his ribs.

"Damn brats. How did you become so strong?" Asgold says before falling over.

I walk over to him and stand above him, ready to deal the final blow."

"Just give him to us. We'll take him and you can go back to whatever you were doing before involving yourself with Oliver." I say.

Asgold starts to laugh, coughing up blood in the process. "That's the thing I wasn't doing anything. I was going to kidnap him anyway, it just so happened you guys were here."

"What?" I say, surprised.

"Yeah, you see, I want all the strongest fighters in the world. So, I've been kidnapping powerful fighters and turning them into skeletal slaves. Hence my dragon and giant skeleton being past adventurers. But it seems you guys are here for another reason than that." He explains.

"We need to get rid of him before he can cause more casualties." Calu says before taking out his heart with her hand.

I walk over to the others. They've already killed the soldiers and are waiting for us. A pitch black skeleton watching us from nearby.

"That was weird." I say.

"Yeah, it was. He said something about turning other fighters into skeletons. However, all of them should have died after him." Julian explains.

We head to where we saw the black skeleton spotting him next to a small pond soaking in the water.

"Who are you and why didn't you disappear when a behold was killed?" I ask the skeleton.

It looks up and notices us, getting up and facing us.

"I'm a charred skeleton named Ricker, just some old raggedy bones, oho." The skeleton replies.

"Why don't you have a magical collar like Asgold's soldiers?" Calu asks.

"I was just taken by Asgold while I was in a dungeon with my other boney friends. Asgold didn't want them, so they were eliminated. However, he took me in as his own. I'm not entirely sure why me particular." The skeleton explains.

"Well, my name is Nux, that's Julian, Calu, Frank, and Piro." I say, introducing everyone.

"So what do you guys plan to do with me now?" Riker asks.

"Nothing really. You can do what you want apart from going back to the dragon king." I reply.

"Anywhers's better than in a hole. That'd be pretty lonely, oho." He says, while laughing.

"I have an idea. Why don't you come with us? I know we'll have a few problems with people. But we could use your strength in our guild." I suggest. (Especially after our recent event)

"What?" Julian says loudly.

I explain to the group about hiding him and that we really need the assistance in the guild. They reluctantly agree to let him join.

"You want me to join your group? Well, sure, but we have to wait until we defeat the dragon king." Riker replies.

We all head back to the cave to rest up before the next day, searching for Oliver and Dragtar.

Now having a large enough group, we split into three groups to search for everyone.

Ricker and I spot an ominous cave in which we feel demonic energy spew out of. We enter and are immediately attacked by a giant demonic dragon.

The dragon with large horns and red scales. Claws having extremely long talons.

It swipes its claw at me, and I dodge under the claw.

"Hey, help me out." I call out.

"Got it." Ricker responds.

He jumps over me and lands on the dragon's head and drives his sword into the dragon's head.

The dragon swipes its head, trying to throw Ricker off.

I stab the dragon's foot, piercing through the scales.

The dragon turns towards me and swipes its tail.

I jump up, avoiding the tail and drive my sword down on its head.

The sword hits the dragon, but its scales are too hard. My sword doesn't do much damage.

The dragon swings its head, throwing ricker into the cave wall and charges at me, mouth wide open.

I quickly jump on the dragon's head, casting a ice spell that pierces the spot Ricker hit, killing the demonic dragon.

"That was close. Good job, ricker." I say.

"Thanks, but I think something's wrong." He replies.

"What is it?" I ask, confused.

"There is a kid over there." He replies pointing at a small figure.

"That must be him, let's go check it out." I say.

We walk over to the figure seeing Oliver drinking demon . Gasping in shock Oliver looks over towards us we try hiding. (Shit he can't spot us here without the rest of the group to back us up.)

Oliver finishes the demon and gets up. Walking over to us we hide in the shadows. Sensing where we are Oliver gives and eery grin.

"This is all thanks to you Nux if my blood didn't react to yours like it has I wouldn't have gotten this strong." Oliver says before running towards us.

We run out of the cave as fast as we can with Oliver following closely behind. My wings sprouting as I grab ahold of Rickers boney body flying off.
