Naturally, the three assassins were not foolish enough to engage in confrontation with Cloe the moment when they failed their ambush. But that did not mean that they would retreat that easily either.
Given that they were currently surrounded by their enemies from all sides, the three simultaneously took out a black scroll from their respective inventory bags before crushing them almost immediately.
Not long after, a huge group of skeleton soldiers were manifested out of thin air, surrounding the three and forming a formation while facing the NPCs around them.
These Skeleton Soldiers might not be as powerful as the NPCs, but they had a unique ability to draw the surrounding mana to reinforce themselves and grow stronger.
Moreover, the purpose of these skeletons was to distract the NPCs until the three were finished with Cloe.
