Conqueror

Zadrum was now sitting on his bone chair, tapping his bony finger on the armchair. He was thinking, what kind of methods he would use to obtain information about the human town.

Then suddenly a normal beast skeleton, deliver a warning to him. In the next moment, his vision blurred, and the scene he was seeing, was not inside the cave anymore. But the vision of the skeleton who transmitted a message to him. Although the skeletons who become skeleton through the title, don't have a soul and their own thought, however, they can still relay a warning to him, and understand basic commands.

Looking around, he saw three humans at the distance, two children and one adult human.

'I've been thinking about how to obtain information about them, but now that these humans come to my place, hehe...' Zadrum then stops controlling the skeleton. He gets up on his bone chair and walked towards scorpe.

"Now, you two, go and capture the Thief human... Remember, I want him alive." Zadrum ordered the two Tier 2 skeletons. The first Tier 2 skeleton was a former Flaming Lion, while the other one was a former Rocky Bear.

Zadrum used a Tier 2 skill called 'Become My Slave'. That's right he named the skill he created, Become My Slave. After he killed his enemies, he can revive them using the 'Become My Slave' skill and make them her skeleton army. Furthermore, the skill can keep the soul of the deceased, and bound it to their skeleton body.

Sam who was fighting the five Tier 1 skeletons, abruptly rolled to his left, dodging the blazing fireball coming at him. After he rolled to the left without a second thought, he jumped backward. A spike made of earth emerged on that place, Sam felt a chill in his spine. If he was not familiar on the beasts here, he might have full of holes right now.

After he dodged the fireball, he felt fluctuation on the ground. Sensing the familiar sensation, without a second thought, he immediately jumped out of that place. He already hunted the Rocky Bear, with some of his comrades on the adventurers team, that's why he was familiar with the skills the Rocky Bear wielded.

He looked around, finding the Rocky Bear. However, he was terrified to see a skeleton beast similar to that of Rocky Bear, instead of an ordinary Tier 2 Rocky Beast, who got drawn in by the commotion. He was thinking of using the Rocky Bear, to escape this area. However, that hope of his took a U-turn, and become the reason for his death.

Suddenly, he was horror-struck, upon realizing the possibility of why there's a skeleton that can use a skill here. At first, he thought that this was just a Plaque of Death Aura. Plaque of Death, would emerge if that area had an incident happened. Like a massacre, or a lot of people died in the area without anyone knowing. The Death Aura that comes from the dead, would accumulate and eventually corroding the area. The only thing to prevent such events to happen was to let the Church know, and the Church would then send a group of Paladin and Priest, to cleanse the place.

However, mostly the Plaque Of Death, wouldn't have a skeleton that can used skills, especially not in this place. He was even dumbfounded upon knowing that a Plaque Of Death was happening in this area. Since this is the first time, the Forrest was hit by the Plaque Of Death. Because mostly this kind of tragedy only occurred on Humans and Demihumans. And never been happen to Monsters who live in tribes.

So the only other reason Sam can think of, was a possibility of a Lich the reason why the Plaque Of Death in this place. Just thinking about it, gives him chills.

While thinking all of that, the two Tier 2 beasts attacked him. Seeing the two enormous skeleton beast charging at him, he lost all the hope, making out this place alive.

"Hahaha!!... Since I'm going to die here, I'm surely going to pluck a piece of bone from you two. If I can't do that, then I will become a beast in my next life. Hahaha!!" He laughed like crazy, then dash towards the two Tier 2 skeletons.

On Oriel's side, he was stopped by the enormous skeleton scorpion. Furthermore, an entity that makes him piss his pants, on the skeleton's back. It's a Lich, a legendary being, who he only heard in stories, and now that legendary being was in front of him, stopping him from leaving this forest.

"Big Brother, are we going to die?" Laci asked, she was also afraid, seeing the enormous skeleton in front of him.

"Hello, kids, do you like my pet. Little girl, you can pet him if you like, it won't bite you. Hahaha."
