BXBX NOVEL Chapter 582 The Village Of Scourge (IV)
I continue to sweep through all of the villages that are hit by the dark light and with the usual combo of the Desert Wolves plus Lucia, we easily cleared the 6 villages. Now, we are in the final village. I made sure to pick it last because compared to the other villages, this one is more like a little town. I can\'t say it is a town as it is still classified as a village and it is not as advanced as a town does as most buildings here are just residences of the angels. Still, because it is massive, it also means there are plenty of folks here that are going to appear and not just the average amount of monsters that we usually meet.
"Lucia, you tell the wolves that they can rest and sit on this battle. You too Lucia will sit out on this one."
"What? Master, are you thinking straight? This is the biggest village and its twice the size of two villages of scourge combined! This is not something you can handle!"
"I wanted to test something out. I have yet to properly utilize it in battle so in this case, I want to see how it will fare in here."
"Are you perhaps talking about the Necromancy ability you got before?"
"Oh, looks like you have guessed it. Yes, you are right. I wanted to see how much I can utilize the Necromancer ability and see what benefits it will bring to me. I know you guys are eager to fight but there are plenty of opportunities that will rise up later on since we are still in the beginning of the Luminous Expedition. We have yet to see the grand event yet so I can easily tell we are in for the long haul here."
"Well, if that is the case here Master, then we will oblige. But if things went south, don\'t hesitate to send us out to fight. We are always ready to bring down enemies and kick some ass alright?"
"No problem. I know I could count on you guys."
I let Leona land in a bit farther from the village. Just like in the past timeline, this village will be the hardest to beat as this place I spotted a few sentries on that village that are made of some sort of fleshy crap that I am not liking on seeing so I made sure that Leona will not be spotted at all or else, we might get surrounded.
Once Leona landed, I recalled her again as her size alone will attract the attention of those little critters. Once I made sure that everything is alright, I changed the Versatile Weapon into a Necronomicon and summoned the previously summoned Skeletons I have back then. Even the skeleton that I have spotted before is also there and is looking enthusiastic.
Thankfully, the skeletons are not affected by the sun or else, I would waste my time and wait for the night to fall to summon them. Thankfully, that wasn\'t the case.
"You guys are looking enthusiastic today. How are you all feeling."
CLACK CLACK CLACK!
They all started clacking their jaws which made those noises. Their mouths are opening and closing as they do the same clacking sounds so perhaps they are answering my questions but since they are skeletons, they can only do the clacking sounds.
"Alright, alright. Just put a thumbs up instead of clacking your mouths. I can\'t understand what you guys are trying to say anyways."
The skeletons stopped clacking their mouths and gave a big thumbs up instead without a hesitation. It looks like they still understand human language. I am just not sure how they are still able to understand me if they don\'t have brains but since it was a necromancer logic, I don\'t want to think too much about it.
"Alright. It\'s been a while since I summoned you guys and you guys barely have done any real fighting despite giving you all weapons and armor to wear. This time, I am now giving you guys a chance to test out your combat capabilities. Test your mettle and see how strong you all are."
CLACK CLACK CLACK CLACK!
Hearing my words, the skeletons seems to start dancing in joy as their clacking noises echoed around. The only one who seems to be not celebrating is the skeleton that I have seen to have great potential out of all of them. Instead of jumping for joy, he is checking the weapons and armor he had on like how a real warrior does. I don\'t know if this skeleton was a warrior from its past life but hey, if he was, that\'s pretty good.
First, before I launch them to the battle, I checked their gears and they are not that good, so I retrieve all of them and exchanged them with equipment that is much better than their previous ones. When I exchanged the weapon of the skeleton from before, he inspected it for a bit before giving a thumbs up to me, meaning he approved my inspection of equipment. I turned to look at his previous equipment and I found out the reason he did check it because the durability of the items he had are almost gone. This guy would be screwed royally if I let them march and fight with that equipment.
"Alright. Everyone is looking ready. Let\'s go and do some fighting yeah? "
CLACK CLACK CLACK CLACK!
"Ha! Glad you all are enthusiastic. Alright, lets march on boys and gals!"
...
...
...
We are just a few distance away from the village but the f*ckers on the village already spotted us and started to send waves of monsters.
"Gunners and archers!"
As soon as I shouted, the skeletons who hold guns and bows and arrows started aiming and shooting. Of course, even though I am the necromancer here, I am not a coward summoner that would just stay at the back and let all of the work be handled by my skeletons fighting. I am throwing AOE spells left and right to the monsters incoming so that the archers and the gunners won\'t be overwhelmed.
"Melee weapon users, get ready. Things are going to get crazier from here on out!"
In the distance of the village, I spotted not one, not two, and not three of those big monsters with big ass scythes. Instead, I counted six of them standing there, menacingly. I grinned and a bit excited on the current situation. It might look grim but it was clear that we are up for an exciting battle and I can\'t wait to see how well my skeletons would fare against them all.
