    <span style="font-weight:400">"Phew. We really cut them down," Gabriel stared at the pile of bones on the ground. The group dashed in and took out the boffalos in a couple of blows. As a result, piles of bones were riddled in front of them.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Alright, I''m going to store them." Keith raised his storage ring, and the bones were sucked in.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"But is that really the only thing here?" Herrick looked around. There were only these boffalos.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Mmhmm, this section is meant to be really simple." Keith smiled, then turned serious, "But we have to be serious for the next one."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Understood." Everyone nodded. With that, they headed into another tunnel. As they walked,


    <span style="font-weight:400">"This is a big tunnel?" Looking around, it was wide enough for 20 more people.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"!" Keith raised his hand, causing everyone to halt their movement. His eyes were tense. One look was enough for them to know there were monsters.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Herrick, how many in the front?" Keith could feel movement from the front. However, he didn''t know how much. Herrick, on the other hand, had sensitive ears.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"At least ten. But they feel thin." Several footsteps started to get closer to them. However, he could tell the opponent was weak. If the person was heavy, the footsteps would cause a rumble and thicker sound. However, what he heard was really faint footsteps.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"It''s skeleton soldiers. Prepare yourselves." Keith ordered. Herrick and Melor raised their weapons, ready for a rumble.


    <span style="font-weight:400">White skeletons came out from the shadows. All of them wore broken-down armor. Their eyes were hollowed as they stared at the group. Without any hesitation, they didn''t hesitate and charged at them!


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Hmpf!" Melor swung his axe, splitting the soldier in half. It was a swift and clean kill.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"These guys are lightweights." Melor scoffed.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Don''t let your guard down!" Keith shouted.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Eh?" Herrick looked down and saw the skeleton soldier still moving. Even without half of its body, it can still move! And it was ready to stab Melor''s feet! However,


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Hmpf!" Faelyn stabbed the skeleton before it could.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Thanks." "Keep focus."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Smash their skulls. If you do that, they will stop moving." The skeleton soldiers had one weakness; their skull. As long as that was broken, they couldn''t move.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Understood!" Melor nodded. Now, everyone''s focus was on the skulls. As they did,


    <span style="font-weight:400">"There is no way this is 10!" There were more than 20 right here!


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I couldn''t gauge it!" Herrick groaned as he continued to swing his sword.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Melor, Herrick! Back up now!" The two listened as they jumped backward and away from the soldier.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Burn! ze rush!" "Shred! Wind slicer!" A fireball and tornado passed their face, burning and shredding the skeletons.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Good job, everyone." Keith pped his hand, "We did pretty well for our first fight as a group."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Yahoo!"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Arlo, Jack, Faelyn. Good job on forcing the monsters to the middle." Keith smiled. The three did their jobs correctly.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Melor and Herrick, you guys too. Be more cautious. These skeletons won''t stop even if you slice them in half. They would keeping until you crush their skull."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I understand. I will be more cautious." Herrick nodded.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Good, because this isn''t the end of our fight." Keith turned to the shadows. Everyone turned as well. What came out was even more soldiers.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"We got to get used to it!" Melor raised his ax again.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Let''s get to work! Alfia, Carolyn, prepare the next set of magic!"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Understood!" Carolyn and Faelyn started to chant.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I''m going to crush them!" Herrick roared as he struck at them.
