Everyone was ready!
We were going to raid this camp and kill them all. As simple as that.
I divided the inner space within my [Shadow Storage] into three “bubbles”, which should be more than enough for the little trick I plan to do.
However, I remember that the Netherworld Beasts were able to slash through my shadows and even destroy my shadow storage. This means that with enough strength, it is possible to even destroy my precious net of shadows!
Due to that, I gotta be careful.
The group is mighty enough to do tons of killing, but the goblins are weak.
Lucifer and Partner are the strongest as of now, and I can use their help to take care of the tougher ones. However, that skeleton knight laughing… That guy is no Bueno.
[Dark Skeleton Lord (Special Unit): Lv12] [Rank: C+] [State: Commanding Troops]
He’s C+ Rank, but he has the “Special Unit” thingy in parenthesis.
I don’t get it, but it might mean that something is wrong with this guy… He’s probably quite the mighty bastard.
And by looking at his list of skills, he’s rather interesting.
He has things such as [Dark Commander], [Undeath Coordinator], [Chains of Darkness], and weird-sounding stuff such as [Nether Death Cage]… He sounds scary… I might even have to run away…
Joking! I will fight him later after picking up his guys, killing them, capturing the slaves, knocking them out, and then he will be the final boss we’ll fight to deepen our bonds and friendship.
A perfect plan! Let’s do it!
FLASH!
I reached the camp, and the first thing I do is transform the soundproof barrier by infecting it with my shadows and abyssal darkness body.
I then use [Shadow Manipulation] and [Materialization] to shape this useful barrier and convert it into my own Barrier of Shadows.
I don’t think I have the mana to make this thing last for long, and I am using existing barriers to do it, but let’s see how far it lasts.
The entire invisible barrier turns into darkness, and my shadows attack the skeleton wizard controlling it.
I then manipulate them to grab the wizard and then throw him into my shadows while I expand my shadows below the entire camp in just mere seconds.
Everyone began to freak out like wild animals, so I didn’t hear any “What’s that?!” or “Impossible!” and instead, I heard their roars of surprise.
The skeletons, which were approximately 15 Soldiers, 5 Wizards, and the Dark Skeleton Lord, quickly noticed me but didn’t know how to target me; after all, I am meddling with the shadows themselves!
Hahaha!
But the Dark Skeleton Lord seems pretty suspicious. He already knows where’s my main body is and immediately charged at me!
However, I quickly evade, moving my mass of a phantom body away from the shadows I have expanded across the field.
The entire floor is made of my shadows, after all.
As I continue to send every bandit and slave into my [Shadow Storage], I play a game of cat and mouse with the skeletons, running in circles.
They seem dumb enough to not realize they could surround me…
Meanwhile, the bandits and slaves disappear from their sight at a breakneck pace.
I am already spending so much Mana that I spent around 50% of it in a single minute, even though I am constantly absorbing the mana of everyone here.
But even by calculating it, I will not have enough to make this last more than 5 minutes.
We have to get this done quickly!
The Goblins are greeted with a group of Bandits, and one by one, they begin to drop into the shadow space inside my [Shadow Storage].
Led by Lucifer and Partner, the Goblins begin to gang up on the monstrous and crazed Bandits.
They seem way stronger than before as the bandits had drunk several potions, and their strength seemed now comparable to E-Rank monsters, compared to the measly G-Rank losers they were…
Each goblin is around G-Rank too, but if they use the help of Partner and Lucifer…
“[Blood Blade]!”
Partner danced in the shadows as she released several blades made of her own blood, filling the bandits with deadly wounds, making them groan in pain on the ground.
“Let’s go!”
The Goblin Chief raised his arms as he unleashed the mighty rage of the goblins onto their first victim.
Lucifer does the same, burning a group of Bandits with his phantasmal flame breath and slashing another one with his claws!
As the bandits squirmed half-dead, the goblins separated into different units amazingly well-coordinated thanks to the Goblin Chief’s Ability named [Chief of the Village], which helps him coordinate his troops and enhance the power of his villagers by just a slight bit!
It is something he just got after leveling when he killed the skeleton scouting the area.
Coupled with my Titles which have effects that enhance those below my command or that follow me, they grow a bit stronger and at least double their power which is enough to be able to overpower the half-dead crazed bandits.
They begin to earn tons of EXP, causing many to gain a few levels.
While the bandits fall to their demise and begin to go down in numbers quickly, I separate the slaves into a different bubble and knock them out by using my [Abyss Body] Skill, which can make people so fearful that they faint.
I used it until it worked on them all.
Some died, but I stuck the soul back in, and they revived barely… Haha, I had it planned, of course!
Meanwhile, on the outside, I was being chased by skeletons.
“KAKAKAKA!”
The Dark Skeleton Lord seems furious, raising his Demon Blade and releasing a dark and red beam at me.
I swiftly evade and dive into the shadow surface, but he keeps firing his demonic beams at me.
Meanwhile, the Skeleton Wizards are up to no good either!
