Skeleton archer could not produce any intimidation with its frail body. It seemed like a strong gust of wind would blow it to bits. Even so the skeleton archer pulled the bow string to its maximum and let go of the arrow.
SWOOOOOSHHHH.....
To my surprise the arrow travelled faster than a bullet. Even I was barely able to percieve what had just happened.
The rock that was the target of the arrow, disappeared leaving a mark on the ground. If the rock shaped mark on the ground was not there, no one would believe that there was a rock in that place somewhile ago.
My happiness reached its peak. Frail looking bodies but monstrous strength are the words that fully describe my skeleton subordinates.
After checking skeleton archer out, I made it patrol around the vicinity and support the skeleton soldier if any intruder come this way.
Skeleton archer began moving along with the skeleton soldier keeping some distance as it was a long range combatant and suddenly facing a enemy would put it at disadvantage. A archer who is stopped from shooting arrows becomes a burden on the battle field.
Skeleton subordinates were very loyal but they were like puppet not knowing what to do by themselves. They moved around and just followed the orders that were provided but could not do anything on their own. It was a disadvantage but it could be solved by giving a very detailed command.
I made skeleton soldier patrol and skeleton archer follow behind maintaining a certain distance so that archer would be able to shoot the intruder while the skeleton soldier keeps it occupied.
Satisfied with my work I began focusing on gathering mana points. I needed to incubate more skeleton archers. If I had 10 skeleton archers shoot at one target, the target would surely be obliterated. 10 archers on stand by ready to shoot any thing poses threat would surely create a sense of security.
The day of ranking of players were also coming near so I had to create a lot of hidden cards that could be used at the time of crisis.
Thinking about the hidden cards I looked at the count down of skeleton rider fruit and there was still two hours left. Skeleton soldier and skeleton archer fairly surprised me and the expectations for the skeleton rider just went up a bit.
Looking at the time and mana it took, power level of skeleton rider should be equal to skeleton archer if not more.
Keeping all other thoughts aside I began gathering mana points as it was necessary to check bone manipulation as well. More the weapons one has on his arsenal the merrier it gets. Getting one more hidden cards against the unkown seemed like a good idea to me.
Other active skill that required mana points was the bone manipulation and there were four skills under bone manipulation : Bone spear, Bone shield, bone armour and Dome of bone.
