As soon as he reached the end of the tunnel, he was shocked to see three elemental spirits imprisoned within an energy barrier.
The three elemental spirits are in three different colours namely green, black and red.
The green coloured elemental spirit looked like an angel with four slim wings of dripping light hanging like a mantle around the angel. Its slender body moved with a holy grace and was clad in hanging, white cloth. It held a string of green coloured beads. Overall, it had an aura of magic and mystery around it.
But the black coloured elemental spirit was quite the opposite of green coloured elemental. It had two horns on its head with a barely visible nose and a largemouth. An eerie and gloomy aura surrounded it. Just by looking at it, one can feel goosebumps.
Finally, the red coloured elemental spirit looked like a burly man surrounded with flames around its transparent body. It had a crown on its head and a sharp sword in his hands. Overall, it had a majestic aura around it.
But the common expression on the three elemental spirits was'Worry.'
A black-robed skeleton sat cross-legged before them and continuously made some hand gestures.
'So, these are the elemental spirits I have to save. I think he is an elite undead soldier, but why doesn't he have guards around him to protect him when he is in meditation', Ajax wondered why there was no one protecting him.
Ajax finally found the elemental spirits he had to save.
Ajax silently sneaked behind the black-robed skeleton who was busy in making hand signs.
But before he got near him, his spear fell on the ground making some noise.
Ajax stopped for a second. Seeing that the black-robed man didn't notice him, he slowly took the fallen spear into his hands and thrust it with full force. It made a small dent in the black robe but did no damage to the skeleton in the slightest.
Ajax was shocked when his sneak attack failed. But seeing the black-robed skeleton did not wake up from his meditation, Ajax heaved a sigh of relief.
'What a strong robe,' saying this Ajax continued to thrust at the skeleton but did not manage to land a killing blow.
''Who dares to sneak up on me?'', after some unknown time, the black-robed skeleton woke up from his meditation and shouted with his eerie voice.
Shocked, Ajax did not know what to do, so he turned around to flee from the cave.
"After attacking me, you want to escape, stop dreaming you pest," the same eerie voice sounded from behind. Without looking back, Ajax continued moving towards the tunnel to exit the cave.
Before he could reach the tunnel, smoke arose from the ground, and two skeletons appeared.
Without stopping, he threw his spear at one of the skeletons and punched the other skeleton.
Both skeletons got destroyed, but the spear he threw was broken, and the hand he just used to punch one of the skeletons was also swollen.
"They look stronger than the skeletons I previously killed outside," Ajax silently thought to himself.
'Ding,
Killed two Undead Soldiers
Experience gained:- Zero.
Note:- As per the trial rules, any monsters killed in the trial will not give any experience.
Seeing the holographic screen, Ajax understood that they were called Undead Soldiers who were stronger than the Undead Servants he killed outside the cave.
Within a few seconds, the black-robed skeleton caught up to him and casted a fireball spell at him.
Before Ajax could try to dodge the fireball coming at him, the fireball blasted him away.
Ajax slowly stood up, gritting his teeth and glared at the black-robed skeleton.
"Whoa, a human brat who didn't even enter the basic level 1 soldier realm withstood my fireball, you got an inhuman strength for your age, boy", the black-robed skeleton said with a shocked expression on his face.
'What is he talking about? Soldier realm?? Level 1? What is it?' Although Ajax had a lot of questions, he continued to glare at the skeleton.
"You can consider yourself lucky to die in my, the great undead mage Sigmis, hand, brat. Now die", with that he condensed another fireball, which was more powerful than the earlier one, in front of him.
