Chapter 38: Fighting An Entire Army Of Undead Skeletons
Leon stood alone on the broken battlefield, facing an army of Burning Skeletons. His enhanced eyes could see further than a normal human’s being, yet he couldn’t find the end of these monsters.
All of them were just Tier 1 Monsters whom he could easily crush individually, but the sheer number of them put so much pressure on him.
’I need to protect them!’
With that thought and determination burning in his eyes brighter than ever, he brandished his short swords and ran towards the incoming horde, which was led by the peak of Tier 1 Burning Skeletons.
He crashed into them like a herald of destruction that brought them nothing but permanent death. Various weapons flew at him as every Burning Skeleton in his way lunged at him.
Leon quickly used Sprint Boost and spun as the spinning blades slashed off many Skeletons in the way and also helped him dodge every single attack coming at him.
But that wasn’t the end, as more Burning Skeletons lunged at him. This time, there were even archers, so he couldn’t even stop for a moment to take a rest.
His feet moved in sync with his mind and shifted his position so swiftly and precisely that all the arrows missed their target. But it also put him amidst the heat vents and the Burning Skeletons.
Realizing that he had no way out, he used Iron Skin, which made his body have a metallic glow, and it was followed by a quick use of Sprint Boost.
Leon slammed into two Burning Skeletons while swiping his swords at the others. The flames set his clothes on fire, but fortunately, the battle suit was resistant towards high temperatures.
Coupled with his Iron Skin, he barely managed to get out of it unscathed. But repeated use of skills so frequently was putting a toll on his body, and there was no time for rest.
’Shit!’
