Chapter 244 - Reality (8)

When Luke was preparing to go to the dark elves' world' Danielle and Sylah showed up the next day. While they couldn't help much since Luke was thinking of raising the strength of the skeletons, they still wanted to go. After thinking for a while, Luke realized that it wasn't a good idea to leave those two at home. They might sneak out again... with them, he will be able to keep an eye on them since their goal would be the same for the time being. Besides, they were pretty strong since they managed to stay in the world without suffering a single scratch.

"All right, you guys can come, but no sneaking around and going without us," Luke said. "The next time that happens, I will really make you all eat broccoli three times a day."

Danielle didn't understand that Luke was being serious, so she just nodded. Come to think of it, Luke realized that Danielle probably fought the sahuagins alone, and she was completely fine when he found her. Although she was only at level 180, it didn't seem like they were a problem to her. Luke learned how she began to fry them up with electric arrows when they returned to the dark elves' world. Since they were water-based enemies, they got paralyzed for quite a while.

While Luke didn't get experience while he was away and the skeletons were fighting, the skill still got experience. So, it was only a matter of time before he managed to increase the rank of the skill. He already could increase the rank of Pain Resistance, but since the upgrade crystals were too expensive, he had to be smart when using them.

In the end, it took four more days for the skill to level up, and naturally, Luke didn't waste time and used the upgrade crystal. 

Congratulations! The skill Necromancy has reached the rank uncommon. Now, you can summon a skeleton rider at the cost of two hundred MP and two corpses.

That was unexpected… but then Luke realized that Weapon Augmentation was one rank above and apparently had some hidden effects. Luke just didn't know them because he didn't increase the rank himself. Nevertheless, he had now a five thousand skeletons army, and they could cover the twenty kilometers long area in which the sahuagins left the ocean.

"I guess this is enough for the time being," Luke said.

"When are we going to the next world?" Danielle asked.

"... Please, put yourself in my shoes at least once," Luke said after a long sigh. "How can I look in the mirror if I bring someone so young to a war zone?"

"I am not a child!" Danielle said.

"I didn't say that you were. I said that you were young," Luke said. "Still… it will take a while before the next battle. I suppose I can take you with me a few times. However, we have our base back home now, and it will be better if you help the others fight when they begin to move."

"I got it. I will fly on the back of our monsters and rain down attacks on our enemies when we find them," Danielle nodded.

Before going to the elves' world, they had to return home. While they were recovering their mana, Luke also wondered who he could make Tame level up faster. He probably had to make his tamed monsters fight more, just like his skeletons. He had to make that skill level up because the only type of monsters he could sacrifice right now was the Pilaswine, and they were too big to fit in his house, so he had to tame smaller ones. In any case, when Luke returned to the elves' hideout in that mountain, he confirmed that things were pretty pacific. His friends were helping the elves train their physical and elemental resistances while they improved their own skills.

"My queen!"

"My queen!"

"My queen…" Luke said and then bent the knee.

"Not again…" Rina said and then sighed.

"You still can goof around even on an alien planet, huh," Amanda said. "How were things in the dark elves' world?" 

"They will be fine if we leave them alone for a while longer," Luke replied. "Their whole planet is being attacked by many overlords, but thanks to their nature, they are hard to be defeated.. With that in mind, it will be better if I focus on taking back this world from the enemies."
