Chapter 31-2

Crackle! Crackle!

The number of skeletons grew more and more. If it was not an illusion, the skeletons were intentionally gathering towards this place.

... Maybe, to capture us?

Stella's student could fetch a high ransom. Or it could be that they would be forcibly turned into undead to create mage skeletons with high potential.

Just because I usually diet hard, I dont want to become a skeleton!

As Ben shouted and beckoned, a fierce gust of wind blew and swept the skeletons away. Although it didn't kill them instantly, Eisel then shattered their skull by summoning an icicle blast with an explosive power of lightning.

The group of students encountered the skeletons for the first time, and it could be said to be their first real battle, but they were breaking through the challenges brilliantly.

However, there was always one variable.

Hee, hee!

Perseok! Kashif Derek, frightened by the skeleton rising from the ground, screamed and fell down.

His position was priest. He cast magic to prepare a big attack.

However, what would happen if it was canceled midway?

Its a rebound explosion! Keep your head down!"

...!

Hong Bi-Yeon quickly noticed it and shouted, but Eisel and Denmark, who were standing close by, were swept away.

Pew!!

The explosion wasn't much of a big deal at the level of a gunpowder bomb, but the most frightening thing about the rebound phenomenon within the group battle was that the rebound happened in a chain.

Kyaaak!

Keugh!

The magic of Eisel, who was swept away by Kashifs explosion, was also canceled and a rebound occurred again, and the magic of the next one that followed her was also canceled.

Pew! Pop! Explosions occurred in succession, and the perfect offensive formation was disrupted in an instant. Edna, who retreated quickly, was not swept away, but several members of Hong Bi-Yeons group were knocked out.

Fortunately, they didn't faint, but due to the mana reflux, they wouldnt be able to use magic for the time being.

<em class="chakra-text css-0">'That idiot!'

Hong Bi-Yeon raised the group members who were deadly pale due to the rebound phenomenon.

Go, Princess, Im sorry

Of course, the girl who was swept away was Arshuang, who had defeated many skeletons with the highest accuracy rate among the group members. She was consuming a lot of mana to appear more active than Hong Bi-Yeon, which made her rebound even bigger.

"No. Theres nothing to be sorry about, so get carried on by Meradin.

But Meradin is a knight

Shut up and get up! Are you thinking of getting in the way?!

Now was not the time to argue. She had no intention of abandoning even a single member of her group, so she had to force herself to take care of them.

".... Yes."

Arshuang bit her lip with a shocked expression on her face and was carried on the back by a boy named Meradin. Since Meradin was the only knight except for Denmark, the situation turned even worse.

That fact kept making Arshuang's heart heavy.

He couldn't protect the one he liked, and the feeling of receiving pity on the contrary was really the worst.

Emotions were running high, and his head was turning into a mess as the situation was getting worse and worse.

Deuk! Tadak! Crack!!

Ugh, too many numbers!

No more magic

The skeleton corps, which had already grown to the point of filling all sides, could no longer be controlled by the tired students, and even Denmark, who had been a strong support in the front, had no choice but to step backwards.

Suddenly, all skeleton stopped moving.

"..... Uh?"

As if the puppets thread had been broken, the skeleton's movements were all stopped in unison.

When they stopped, the boys and girls panicked.

Creepy....

The skeletons slowly raised their heads and looked somewhere.

Suddenly.

Like the miracle of the Red Sea caused by Moses.

In between the skeleton army, someone walked out, slowly paving his way through the undead beings.

That silhouette was so familiar that everyone present was astonished.

Baek Yu-Seol?

He held a skeleton with only a spine and skull left in his right hand.

As long as the skull remained, the skeleton was alive, so it constantly made a clicking sound, but it did not do any damage to him.

Belatedly, everyone seemed to have grasped the situation.

I cant believe that

General level... Skeleton?

At first glance, a necromancer might seem to command an army of hundreds or thousands of skeletons by himself, but in fact he couldnt rule all armies by himself.

So, he must have a chain of command through a skeleton with command authority and a certain level of intelligence.

Therefore, one of the most effective ways to deal with the necromancer's army was to hunt or subdue the skeleton with command authority!

The Skeleton General was a key element that served as a kind of receiver, control tower, antenna, etc., and became the Necromancer's eyes, ears, and sometimes brains.

However, knowing such a weakness, General Skeleton was particularly strong.

There must be elite skeletons escorting that area........

You dealt with a general level alone, and even captured it...?"

A sight that was hard to believe.

But thanks to that.

"This If we can use that, maybe we can get out alive...!"

Students were able to gain hope, albeit very little.
