The dangers that were expected to be encountered never appeared. Dungeon exploration team were moving forward without any problems. Many skeleton soldiers as well as skeleton hounds were encountered but they were subjugated as soon as they appeared.
The mobs inside of the dungeon also moved in a group of three to five. Largest group of mobs encountered till now was only five and the group of five also posed no threat to my skeleton pawns. They swiftly killed the encountered enemies and ventured deeper.
The difference in strength of skeleton soldier appearing inside the dungeon and the skeleton soldier created by me were like heaven and earth. One of my skeleton soldier could fully counter three of the dungeon skeleton soldier. Even though they looked similar, fundamentally one was stronger in all aspects. Comparing skeleton rider or skeleton archer would be like making fun of them. Skeleton rider could fully subjugate and kill a group of five. Skeleton archer could kill skeleton hounds and gravely injure skeleton soldier in one shot. Only if it did not take long to draw the bow string, load the arrow and shoot, it felt like skeleton archer alone could fully conquer this dungeon.
The dungeon exploration team earned my respect. I thought of them as pawns but they proved to be hundred times useful than imagined. They no longer needed my supervision now. I could let them explore on their own but I did not have any other to keep my mind busy. Seeing them explore and bring benefits gave the feeling of playing virtual reality games. I could be there even though I was not.
Skeletons proved their usefullness as well as strength. Creating more skeleton soldier, rider and archer was the first priority in my to do list. I checked the mana and saw that it had fully recovered to 1010 points now. It meant that I could incubate a set consisting skeleton soldier, skeleton archer and skeleton rider once again.
Without any delay I began incubating skeleton soldier, skeleton archer and skeleton rider.
INCUBATE SKELETON SOLDIER.....
A branch appeared, small potrusion formed, took shape and the countdown began.
00 : 1 HRS : 59 MIN : 59 SEC
Now skeleton archer fruit needed to be incubated.
INCUBATE SKELETON ARCHER....
The process similar to the skeleton soldier incubation repeated all over again the only difference being the countdown.
00 : 2 HRS : 59 MIN : 59 SEC
INCUBATE SKELETON RIDER.....
A fruit larger than the previous two fruits began forming on the newly formed branch with a countdown that made anyone impatient.
00 : 5 HRS : 59 MIN : 59 SEC
Seeing the process of incubation did not create a sense of strangeness this time. The only thing that still disappointed me was the time needed. I looked at the fruit one by one and saw the familiar countdown once again.
Mana points reserve emptyed, incubating process was successfully over and there was nothing more to look at for now thus I decided to look at my dungeon exploration team once again.
Dungeon exploration team was moving forward smoothly. Skeleton soldier had some minor damages from tanking all the damages but the abundant deathly aura healed the injuries. Unless the skeletons are destroyed swiftly with only one or two blows, they will keep on recovering, be it enemies or my team. So killing the dungeon mobs swiftly was also one of the necessities inside the dungeon.
If I did not get the necromancer class, it would be a lot of trouble to conquer this dungeon. Self healing skeletons as well as poisonous environment should create a deathly combo for a lot of people but who could have guessed that a necromancer would get a skeleton themed dungeon to conquer.
As I was busy monitoring the dungeon exploration team, I heard something. The source of sound was some distance far from where I was. I shifted my focus and waited for the sound to get louder.
The sound was getting louder and clearer. Even though I could not hear what the conversation was about, I could tell that the owner of this sound were humans. To my surprise two people came out of the bushes, walking towards me leisuerly, talking to each other.
