Clara did not like the fact that Elysia would be fighting Shaman alone, but the oncoming horde of skeletons also had to be dealt with.
'Let's hope I didn't misplace my trust.' Although Clara knew they had gotten much stronger, she could not help worrying that they might not be ready.
'Elysia knows Shaman more than I do, so she should be more than capable of fighting her.' Clara shook her head and faced one of the many entrances where the sound of the skeleton horde was coming from.
Elysia and Shaman's battle had moved further in giving them a third of the hall to themselves to fight the skeletons.
Wolfy stood next to Clara as he believed Elysia was going to be alright and therefore decided to help Clara instead.
Wolfy noticed through his highetend hearing that the horde of skeletons was not one small group but rather what seemed like an entire's country's worth of skeletons charging at their location.
"Clara, this is going to be a long battle." Wolfy was unsure if he could survive long enough as the sheer amount of skeletons could overwhelm them.
"Great so I can't go all out, I have to conserve energy." Clara let out a sigh as once again she had to hold back.
"Well, I don't think this is even the final boss so don't worry, we still have more of this dungeon to explore." Wolfy picked up bits of information from Shaman about the skeleton knight which made him believe that it isn't the final boss.
"I know, I have been in here before, but the anticipation is killing meeeee." Since Clara was already at peak tier 4, she had already gone into the dungeon to train.
Wolfy felt a little stupid as it should have been rather obvious that Clara has already attempted it before.
Wolfy shook his head and concentrated on the hallway in front of him, waiting for any sign of the skeletons. The rumbling slowly got louder and louder until even the sound of bones grinding against bones could be distinguished from among the cacophony.
Eventually Clara and Wolfy saw a contingent of skeletons appear at the end of the hallway charging towards them. Each skeleton carried a different rusted weapon alongside having the same purple mist within its skeletal body.
"Wolfy I have an idea, make sure they don't come from the other entrances." Clara quickly rushed to the entrance where the main charge was. Wolfy followed Clara's orders and kept an eye on the other 2 entryways. These 2 entryways were located on either side of Clara which had made it harder for Wolfy.
Clara stopped once she reached the side of the central entrance, then quickly whipped her whip-blades across the doorway, lodging them in the wall on the other side. The 2 blades rested one above the other, separated by over a meter.
Clara smiled, and purple lightning started flashing around her, making violent crackling noises. Clara gripped both of her whip blades tightly and pushed her lightning through the blades. lightning surged through the blades, streaking its way both along the blades and in between them.
The lightning got more and more violent, until its movements finally stabilized, forming a permanent fence covering almost the entirety of the entrance.
Clara had created an electric barrier of sorts over the entrance with her whip blades. The skeletons, seemingly mindless, continued to run at full speed without a care of the barrier.
The skeletons barged through the entrance, only to get turned to dust as soon as they passed through the lightning barrier.
Clara however had to keep supplying mana to her blades to keep the barrier up and realized it might not be the best way to conserve energy.
'Shit this was a bad idea.' Clara could feel her mana getting sapped away, so she quickly pulled her whip blades and jumped back. Wolfy had not seen any activity in the other entrances and decided to quickly go back to Clara to help with the oncoming wave.
The skeletons flooded out of the entrance and instantly locked onto Clara. They all rushed in her direction holding their weapons up high ready to attack.
Before Clara could attack Wolfy had jumped in front of her. Wolfy's shadow started to expand across the floor till it was underneath all of the skeletons. Wolfy then howled which was followed by hundreds of shadow scythes rising from the ground. Each scythe spinned in a circle, destroying the spines of the skeletons. The charging skeletons soon found their upper and lower halves detached from one another and quickly toppled to the floor, the mist being unable to keep their broken bodies together.
"Thanks Wolfy." Clara felt like Wolfy's help was unneeded but still appreciated what he did.
Wolfy's scythes disappeared as it was too costly to keep up for a long period of time and was not worth the struggle.The skeletons continued to rush out the entrance and charge at them.
Clara sighed but nonetheless got to work immediately and used her whip-blade's range to her advantage to kill as many as possible.
Clara started to spin like a beyblade into the clump of skeletons without hesitation. Lightning was also infused in her whips making each hit more destructive. Clara went through countless skeletons until she was bored of spinning around. Clara stopped spinning and slammed her blades together creating a shockwave of lightning that eviscerated all the skeletons around her.
Clara was already getting bored of the endless stream of skeletons as it was not satisfying for her to kill.
Clara, to cure her boredom, started to swing randomly around letting her lightning fly everywhere and pretended to dance. This was a lot more entertaining for herself as she went through killing the endless waves.
Wolfy, who had a stream of skeletons come after him, was using [Shadow sword] to hack and slash his way through. Wolfy also took the opportunity to improve his agility and was trying to kill as many skeletons as he could as quickly as he could. This helped Wolfy to not get bored, allowing him to keep his rhythm during the fight.
Wolfy was jumping around with sword in mouth using the bodies and pillars to move around quickly. He would also incorporate shadow blades coming from the ground if he found himself in a spot where he was unable to react quick enough.
'I hope this ends soon.'

After mindlessly killing skeletons for what felt like forever they had finally killed them all and were able to take a break.
"Why the hell do basic skeletons carry weapons they hardly use to attack, in such a dungeon." Clara was complaining about how easy the fighting was and wondered why on earth such basic monsters were in a high level dungeon.
"Who the hell knows." Wolfy was exhausted as he had to individually kill each skeleton.
As Clara and Wolfy were resting a sudden earthquake occurred and a bright orange light was coming from behind them. They both turned and saw a massive ball of fire at the end of the hall. Clara was rather shocked as the impact of the explosion was shaking the dungeon.
"Quick, let's head over." Clara wanted to regroup as soon as possible and realized that the massive ball of fire was the doing of Elysia.
