Chapter 4 - chapter 4

We have stayed in this place for a month now. I hope my mom isn't losing her mind searching for me. I hope she and my sister are safe. I want to beat this thing so that I can go see them. My mom had raised me and my sister alone my dad had died in the navy he died when I was 5 I could nearly remember what he looks like all I know if from what my mom told me know he had black hair just like me and I know he was very tall. my mom told me she was pregnant when he left and he planed on retiring after that last mission.

When I was level 20 I had less than 7 skeletons but now I am level 43 I have 20 goblin skeletons and 5 boar riding goblin skeletons. I leveled up by letting my skeletons hunt nearby monsters and bring tier corpse back. It didn't seem like the dungen was going to open anytime soon so We left to go explore around the dungeon. I left a goblin skeleton to tell me if it saw something suspicious happening. After I leveled up my necromancy I could hold decent conversations with the skeletons but I couldn't do anything other than give them orders because they were not intelligent enough to do anything else. After walking for about an hour I saw a pigman settlement. They looked just like pigs but with a human body. They were around 6 to 7 feet tall and their skin was pink. We avoided the place because we didn't want trouble but we mapped the place out. We saw other settlements like orc, ogre, lizardmen, kabold and some wolves too. I reckoned that if we killed all of them We would be able to get out of the dungeon. I kept on walking for a little bit more and I saw a waterfall. It looked so beautiful. We refilled our water bottles and then we had lunch there. After that we decided to head back home because we didn't want to get lost when it turned dark. On our way home we saw a fight between 3 orcs and 7 pigmen. I knew this was a chance to add some men to my undead army. I told Sasha that we should wait for them to be weakened so that we could kill them. You could see it on her face that she was very excited. "Finally I get to fight strong enemies," she said. It was a pretty one sided battle the orcs beat the pigmen effortlessly they were outnumbered yet they managed to win. The orcs were like taller granger older muscular versions of the goblins. They were around seven to 8 feet tall and were made up of nothing but muscles. The orcs wielded a huge axe while the pigmen had big clubs the size of a human leg. When the fight started the pigmen split into 3 groups each orc got 3 pigmen and the tallest orc got four. The first pigmen rushed the orc screaming something I couldn't understand. Before it could land a hit the orc split it's head in half. The other pigmen circled around one jumped in the air and to hit the head and the others targeted it's knee to cripple it. It was very gruesome most of the orcs died but they couldn't kill any orcs. I jumped in when there was three heavily injured orcs one orc was crippled. I rushed toward the crippled orc to kill it quickly but then the tallest orc threw its axe at me. I nearly got my head cut off. I only managed to dodge it because my skeleton goblin pulled me away. That scared me. I wasn't ready to die yet I was about to freeze up again but Sasha hit me on my head and said that "you will end up dead if you keep on freezing up when you get scared". Sasha and I hadn't talked much lately because scared I would end up yelling at her for being the reason we were stuck in the dungeon. I took my sword out of my inventory. I saw the tallest orc rush towards me. It had lost an eye and it had one leg hurting. But it still ran at me full force. But it was too late. I had imbued my mana into the sword and cut of the head of the orc. You could see the look of the eyes of the orc change. It was filled with nothing but hatred. It must have moved close to the crippled orc. The skin of the orc was very hard. I wouldn't have been able to kill it without imbuing mana to my sword. Sasha ran to me "the orcs can regenerate and they have hard skin" she said. Most of the skeleton Where dead if we wanted to defeat the tall orc we would have to work together. Sasha grabbed me and told me "We need to work together to kill this one. It is their leader so it has to be strong". She rushed toward it with the axe of the other orc.
