Chapter 20 - Thread of Death

This is the worst situation I've ever been in, why now? WHY? Am I going to die here, there's no way we can kill all these monsters at the same time. Even with the help of my skeleton army, we had a hard time. And now we have to fight trolls too.

"Hyungnim.... are we going to die?" Ji-Hae looks at me with a desperate look, as if she has given up on her life.

"I'll fight, you wait here" Even if I said that, I wasn't sure myself that I would be able to fight those monsters.

"My skeleton army you all fight all those trolls! Luck you also help them. I will take care of the troll leader myself!" I ordered all my skeleton troops to focus on those 10 trolls alone, I will face this rampaging troll leader.

I took out my bone sword, I took another one from my blank space. Now I'm going to use two swords, although it sounds crazy dual wielding requires good technique to be able to fight properly. But I don't care anymore, somehow I feel that I can fight using two swords.

The troll leader had already freed himself from the trap Ji-Hae had set, and he turned his back on me. He looked at me with a very angry look and he was very bloodthirsty. I can feel it from here a strong killing aura is coming from the troll leader.

I no longer cared about anything, I ran at full speed towards the troll leader. I raised both my swords and used my slash skill many times. I try to hit the same spot on his chest, but he protects his body with his hands. I didn't manage to injure him completely, the troll leader raised his hammer and he tried to counterattack.

I can see his movements clearly, his movements are very slow I can see them clearly. I dodged quickly and jumped at his head. I drew my sword and hit hard to the side of his face.

However, he was only slightly injured. I didn't understand even though I had used 100% of my strength to hit his face with my sword, but I didn't inflict a fatal wound. How strong this bastard really is.

I groaned and hit his face with my sword many times. I used my slash skill until I was exhausted, but the troll leader wasn't fatally injured. He tried to grab me with his hands, I hurriedly used shadow steps to get away from him.

At this rate I'm just draining my mana without dealing any damage to the troll leader. I'll take a look at my stats for a bit, I took a few steps back to keep my distance from the troll leader.

Looks like I still have a fair amount of mana and I managed to dodge most of his attacks so I still have a lot of health. But I used up almost half my mana without dealing a fatal attack, at this rate I'd be exhausted.

Also my skeleton was reduced by two, it seems like two of them were crushed from fighting the trolls. Damn, but it looks like they managed to have a good fight there. They managed to kill 1 troll and hold off the rest.

I won't expect much for now, but I need to focus on my battle with the troll leader. Ji-Hae also couldn't fight well without his traps and equipment, he had already spent a lot of his equipment against the troll leader earlier.

Swords don't work, poison doesn't work, arrows and other weapons don't work on this troll leader.

The troll leader suddenly ran towards me, damn I was thinking too much. I had to dodge, then I used my shadow step behind him. This time I'm going to try to hurt his neck, I jump high and hit his neck with my two swords.

He turned quickly and swung his hammer. I'm still in the air I can only hold it with my weapon.

*BOOM*

Damn, I got hit by his attack and was thrown far away. It hurts whether I'm going to die. Damn even my mouth is bleeding, this really hurts.

The troll leader walked towards me, and he got closer I could hear his footsteps. Ji-Hae was far away with my skeletons. Am I really going to die here.

At a glance I saw that I was at the end of the thread of death, I could die at any time. I don't want this to end here, I still have to take care of my family. I can't die here.

My vision became dark, am I going to die here. Suddenly I was in this place filled with darkness again. I can't see anything around me everything is dark. Am I going to die like this?

Then the king of darkness came to me, I saw it but I didn't care anymore.

"You think you're going to die like this?" The king of darkness asked me.

"What else can I do? I'm too weak for that monster" I just sat down and lowered my head, I too had lost hope.

"I've given you the power"

"I've used it yet I'm still weak!" I don't understand what that means, I gave everything but still lost.

"You don't use it at all, you haven't seen your true abilities yet"

"What do you mean-" Suddenly I came back to my senses and the troll leader was already in front of me.

My body moved on its own and my body was filled with a powerful black aura. I feel my strength overflowing, I feel I can win against any monster. But I feel that I am not in control of this body.

I moved on its own, this body dodged the troll leader's attack quickly and attacked in a split second. My speed was much faster than before, and I attacked the troll leader.

With just one stroke of my sword the troll leader was blown away, but he wasn't dead yet. I hit him multiple times with my two swords and used up a lot of my mana. Finally the troll leader died.

[Lee Won Myung strength +4]

[Lee Won Myung dexterity +4]

[Lee Won Myung magic +3]

[Lee Won Myung intelligence +3]

Then I helped my skeleton army, I quickly ran towards them and beat all the trolls. I don't know but I feel really strong right now, I feel like I can slaughter all these monsters easily. Then the remaining 9 trolls died quickly.

[Lee Won Myung constitution +4]

[Lee Won Myung dexterity +2]

[Lee Won Myung magic +2]

[Lee Won Myung endurance +3]

[Skill has been improved]

[You got a new skill]

"Hyungnim...is that you?" Ji-Hae was a little surprised at my strength just now.

"Yeah it's me-" I fell because I ran out of energy then I fell unconscious.

After a while I finally came to my senses.

"Hyungnim you finally came back to your senses!"

"How long have I been unconscious for?"

"Probably about 2 hours"

"Damn, I spent too much energy on the fight just now but I can't remember everything clearly"

"You saved me hyung, thank you"

After that I tried to remember things that I experienced before but I only remember a little. I remember I killed the troll leader but I don't remember how I killed him.

Then I tried to open my stats.

It's more awesome than I thought, I've improved this much I should be because I killed the troll leader and a lot of trolls at once. I also got a new skill but it's still locked, does that mean I still can't use it.

I want to see the function of this skill.

[Black Aura]

[Increases 50% of user's stats and consumes mana every second of its use. Also increases the user's sense to be sharper.]

This skill seems very strong, is it the skill I used to kill the troll leader before. I'm not so sure but for now I still can't use it. Besides that I can summon 10 more skeletons, it looks like the strength of my skeleton army will increase greatly.
