Chapter 24: Almost Level 6
Max stayed at the front with Charlotte in the middle and Stelle at the back. It was a good formation as Max could deal with the enemies coming from the front while Charlotte could support both of them from the middle.
As for Stelle, she was positioned at the back for any sneak attacks. After all, the tunnels were a complex maze and who knew what kind of enemies were lurking in the dark.
The pair of skeletons had noticed their group and came running towards them. Max was also ready to intercept them with his dull blade unsheathed.
He had read and developed many techniques and martial arts in his previous life to use them for his novel. Now, he was using those same martial arts and techniques to fight the monsters.
Granted, it wouldn't have been easy without his adaptation skill, and he had also been fighting life-and-death battles with the monsters, so he was learning quickly.
Smiling at the incoming skeletons, Max dashed forward, parried an incoming sword slash from a broken sword, and went right for the spinal cord of the skeleton.
However, this time the skeleton had support and was also powerful.
The second skeleton also punched at his chest, forcing him to change his stance and attack the ribs instead of the spinal cord.
The ribs cracked and white fragments dropped on the ground. However, the wound swiftly closed up and the two skeletons were upon him once again.
All of a sudden, however, their speed slowed down slightly, making Max smile. He took advantage of the opportunity created by Charlotte and sliced at the skeleton's weakness.
It took two hits for it to be destroyed, but he managed to take it down. That left only one more skeleton.
