Chapter 24 - Earth realm Skeleton

It might have been hard for him to kill it if it had known about Zynx location, but for Zynx who was in dark, it was easy for him.

By simply using 2 poison spears, he killed it. After it died, the fire inside its eye started to burn even more, finally burning its whole body into dust instead of extinguishing, leaving behind only information parchment.

Because he attacked, his camouflage wore off. When remaining skeleton warrior saw the enemy, they surged toward Zynx getting inside the range of poison ward.

...

After defeating them, he started to collect information parchment.

[Skeleton warrior*4]

As he had already used 10 information parchment to unlock the strength of the skeleton warrior. It had 4 points on it.

[Skeleton soldier*1]

Since he knew all skeleton warriors had about same points on it, he didn't view their information individually. That was why he didn't realize there was a different kind of skeleton.

From that white skeleton, he obtained different information parchment. He would not know anything about this until he could collect 9 more, so he just ignored it.

When he was about to go for searching, another group of skeletons, he saw a single skeleton was running towards him.

Why would he fear single skeleton when he didn't even fear groups of them, so he maintained his position as it was.

Zynx thought, 'Since it wants to die, I will just give that to it.'

Zynx had nothing to do, so he tried to view its status, but he could not.

'It must be Skeleton soldiers.'

With its nearing, he realized it had green fire on its eye instead of white fire and could feel pressure when he looked at it. Zynx had never sensed danger from any other being after coming in this new world, but from this skeleton, he felt.

"Mia, what is with this skeleton?"

[It should be in the earth realm.]

Zynx knew about earth realm but didn't know its exact power, so he asked.

"If you would divide the mortal realm into the lower, middle and upper part, then in which part would I belong?"

[According to your future form, it should be lowered part of the mortal realm but for a human you should be in the middle part.]

Zynx whole body was drenched in sweat for thinking about killing the earth realm with lower mortal realm strength.

Zynx could see skeleton soldier was here for him as it was continuously gazing at him while running.

If he was to fight with it directly, then he was sure he would surely lose, and he didn't have enough time to design trap like before.

From looking at its speed, it should have more points in agility than him, so he was sure if it was to follow him relentlessly, then it would surely catch up to him.

So he didn't un-summon poison ward as it could buy him some time.

Zynx then ran toward the direction of ant colonies because he thought it would give up after not being able to catch him. And if it remained following him, then he had to kill it by using bone penetrating ants.

[Time needed by Skeleton soldier to reach you – 10 min]

He was not sure whether he could reach colonies in 10 min, but he should try.

One minute later it arrived at his previous location, poison ward used paralysis poison 2 times, paralyzing it for a total of 1 min 30 sec.

When poison ward used slowing poison, skeleton soldier slashed it with the white sharp bone it was holding, killing it in single slashed.

When poison ward died, Zynx heard the notification.

[Poison ward had been destroyed.]

[Time needed by Skeleton soldier to reach you – 14 min]

Zynx became happy to be able to increase the time by 4 min. He could summon poison ward again if he wanted, but he didn't.

Because it needed time for summoning and no matter how many times you summoned it, its skill would not reset, so there was no need for it.

[Time needed by Skeleton soldier to reach you – 4 min]

Zynx didn't know why this skeleton soldier was pursuing him non-stop, but if he couldn't find a better way, then he would be dead after 4 min.

It would need at least 8 minutes for him to reach colonies, so he had to find another way.

His brain was working fast and thought of something. He changed direction and move toward dead tree from before.

[Time needed by Skeleton soldier to reach you – 3 min 25 sec]

Although time had decreased by an extra 30 sec, he thought that the possibility for him to survive in that direction was higher than before.

When time decreased up to 2 min, he finally arrived at his destination, dead tree. He could not see anything beneath it, but he was sure, a group of human was still in there.

Without any deviation, he slithered straight into the invisibility barrier.

'Click'

As soon as Zynx got inside the circle, he heard the sound of clicking. When he looked around, he realized he was inside the metallic cage and was surrounded by six humans from before.

He had expected something like this, so it didn't matter as being captured was better than dying.

Knight looked at me and asked wizard.

"Young master, what should we do with it?"

"Leave it…"

Before he could finish his sentence, their group saw the skeleton soldier from before, running toward them.

Except for the wizard, all of them became afraid when they saw it.

Wizard said while pointing Zynx, "Hari, place it beneath a tree and guard it properly."

As Zynx was in the edge of the barrier, a wizard didn't want him to die, while he was fighting.

Hari then carried cage and placed it beneath the dead tree.

Wizard then looked at other four people, "All of you follow me out and attack with me. I don't want it to affect barrier."

They all nodded and went outside the barrier.

When Zynx saw them all moving out living only one behind, he became excited.

'Mia, can my poison corrode this cage?'

[You can. But your attack can't pass outside the cage]

Hearing this, Zynx didn't immediately use it on the cage, as there was someone guarding beside him, and he also wasn't sure whether this group of human could kill skeleton soldier or not.

Zynx did not understand how but from his observation, the skeleton could locate him no matter where he went. Otherwise, how could it locate him, when he was inside the invisible barrier.
