"System, teleport me to the 3rd floor please." "
[Order received.]
[Teleportation in progress…]
[Teleport finished.]
William lands in this familiar red desert.
He couldn't see any difference between the different floors until he looked up.
"Wow, that's pretty impressive. "
Indeed, William could see countless planets from his position, unfortunately, he could not estimate their size since he did not know how many kilometers they were from him.
"It must be the planets mentioned in the system update, it's impressive in the sense that the sky has always been empty, there is not even a sun, but only an eternal red glow. In any case, I will not dwell on them since they will belong to me one day or another. "
William noticed that Victoria and the other Supreme Generals were not nearby.
"The system probably felt that this was the best way to accomplish the first step of the plan, to acquire skeleton soldiers. "
"So let's do it." William flew straight into the skies in search of a skeleton city.
"From what I understand, the bases are distributed from the smallest to the largest: Camps, Villages, Towns, Capital, Kingdom, Empire and the rest are currently irrelevant. "
"Cities should have (D) ranks, so I should try to find one and make it my own base. "
5 minutes later, William spotted a huge skeleton city.
"Finally something after having traveled hundreds of kilometers, but I'm lucky because depending on the size of this city, it is equivalent to Aurora. But I don't think it's designated as a capital, since Hell surely has different standards than a small Kingdom like the Northern Kingdom. "
"So there is a good chance that it is a city, because there are only dilapidated buildings everywhere and there is not even a wall!" William said with a smile.
"I imagine that I can test the 4th movement of the Robin technique on this city"
The robin technique is divided into 5 movements:
1st movement: A drop of water
2nd movement: An autumn rain
3rd movement: A sword breaks the world
4th movement: Divine Execution
5th movement: Divine Rain
"So far I have only used the 3rd movement, wanting to keep the 4th movement as a trump card, because it consumes a lot of mana and I would be weakened by using it. "
"The 1st movement is just an introduction to the 2nd movement, which is a large scale attack.
"The 3rd movement is also an introduction making it easier to understand the 4th movement. "
"The 5th move is out of my reach right now, because when I copied the skill, Victoria was not mastering that move. So I have to rely only on myself to understand this movement. "
"From my knowledge of my technique, the 5th movement brings together the essence of the 2nd movement and the 4th movement to create a sword stroke with greater reach than the 2nd and greater power than the 4th on each target. exercised. "
"We can even say that the first 4 movements are the introduction of the 5th movement, unfortunately Victoria told me in the limousine that even in her family, no one had mastered the 5th movement except its creator. Otherwise, this technique could even be a rank (A) technique given the power of the 5th movement. However, the grades labeled at each technique are an average of the power of each movement, hence the downgrading of the technique's grade. "
"How awesome it would be if I could find a genius in swordbending to copy his talent, the kind who understands everything in just seconds, but it's possible that even throughout the universe, that kind of talent doesn't 'doesn't even exist. William sighed
"Anyway, even if there was such a genius in front of me, I don't even know if I could defeat him." William comforted himself in his heart.
"In the fight against Victoria, her 4th movement could destroy the whole town of Yol, which must have been the equivalent of a tenth of the capital, but currently I am much stronger than she was. "
"I wonder if I can at least destroy half of this city using 4th movement?" Either way he should only have a few skeletons in row (D), Kent can easily take care of them. "
William placed the sword in front of him, closed his eyes and began to gather the energy and circulate it the same way he remembered.
A suffocating pressure began to release from the sword as the energy around William was continuously injected into the sword.
William's mana was dropping extremely rapidly.
MP: 1532/3047
MP: 980/3047
MP: 430/3047
MP: 150/3047
After using over 90% of his mana, William finally opened his eyes.
"Robin's technique, 4th movement, Divine Execution! William whispered
A huge wave of energy came out of the sword and traveled at several times the speed of sound towards the Skeleton City.
*Boom*
A gigantic explosion occurred as a cloud of smoke invaded the entire southern part of the city.
[Detected that a rank (D-) Skeleton Swordsman has been defeated. Soul available]
[10,000exp (+5000) received.]
[Detected that a rank (D-) Skeleton Lancer has been defeated. Soul available]
[10,000exp (+5000) received.]
[Detected that a rank (D) Skeleton Swordsman has been defeated. Soul available]
[50,000exp (+25,000) received.]
...
A hundred notifications resounded like this. William was initially happy to see his experience bar increase at an extraordinary rate but a bad premonition invaded his heart.
"It's clearly not normal that I only kill skeletons in row (D) right?" "
"Wait, if there are only ranks (D-) and above, that does not mean that I have attacked a capital and that there is a rank (C-) or even several that are ' are there? "
ding
[You attacked a skeleton camp.]
[The skeletons in this camp will now chase you until you die.]
"A skeleton camp? No kidding ? If this is a camp, what does a city look like? Especially since from what I see, even in the base of the lowest rank, the skeleton is at least at rank (D-), so that would mean that there are skeletons of rank (B) or even rank (A) in a city? "
"If this camp is placed on Teloria, it could easily wipe out all human realms on Teloria!" "
"If I am able to subdue the skeletons of a village, I should be able to greatly increase the chances of completing Operation Aurora, let alone a town…"
Suddenly several figures quickly flew out of the cloud of smoke and headed straight for William.
By instinct, the latter asked the system to analyze the various shadows.

William could only glimpse the status of his attackers for 0.3 seconds before finding a sword in front of him, which he quickly blocked.
Another sword strike came quickly, but thanks to his mastery of the sword of a higher rank, he could easily see the flaws in the mastery of the sword, effectively blocking the sword and redirecting it to the side. Taking advantage of his agility twice that of the skeleton, William formed an effective counter-attack.
-7220
A red number appeared above the skeleton before it was propelled by the shock wave a few hundred meters into the air.
However, William did not have time to linger on the swordsman skeleton as a spear headed for his neck, he propelled himself with his mana a few inches in order to avoid the spear, while he was also attacking. the skeleton lancer.
But William's sword could not achieve its goal, because William had to deflect it to block the arrow that would pierce his brain in the next moment.
However, the arrow made a strange movement that William couldn't predict, and it finally came to his chest level.
" Not good ! "
-3400
A red number rose above William.
"Damn it hurts, I'm not going to hold this pace for long if I don't use [Wrath of a King] but I could only last 30 seconds or less with my remaining mana!" William thought quickly. After all, if he had his full mana, fighting for several hours wouldn't be a problem !
But there is no medicine for regret.
In addition, William did not have to face only 3 skeletons!
Indeed, countless skeletons were arriving one after the other!
William could estimate that there were already several hundred and more continued to arrive!
"I guess I have no choice but to rely on my army, despite the fact that I would have liked to sharpen my combat awareness further. "
"Let's start with these little souls floating in the city"
"Come back to life and help me win this fight"
There is no precise formula for reviving the dead, as long as he conveys his intention.
Following this sentence, countless small black shadows joined William.
When they got near him, they all assumed their skeletal form with their weapons.
Thus a "small" army of 100 ranks (D) was formed. Unfortunately, even William was a little embarrassed when he made the comparison between the two sides.
But this embarrassment did not last long.
"I had long wanted to see your effectiveness in combat since you reached the rank (D-)" Said William has all his skeletons, including 3 swordsmen disciples, the master swordsman, the master of martial arts, and finally Kent Zerafie , the skeleton mage.
"Kent should be able to take care of at least 100 of them, while the Master Swordsman and Master of Martial Arts should be able to defeat 50 of them."
"Even the swordsmen disciples should be able to take care of a dozen of them, after all, in their lifetime, they were all geniuses without equal to be able to be under the tutelage of a rank (B)"
As a huge battle was about to begin, various small explosions were heard in this silent place charged with a heavy atmosphere.
William glanced below him: "Ah, I forgot that the ranks (E) didn't fly…"
