30 skeleton warriors. 3 Skeleton knights and 1 golem.
If all six NPC's where in their peak form then they would have no problem dealing with beasts that were only level 34. But not only were they in the brink of collapse suffering countless injuries that nearly crippled them, Zoom's summons had the wind buff since Zoom had attached a wind crystal to his bone staff giving his skeletons added haste.
Zoom himself was already prepared thus he had his mana full beforehand. Zoom had a grin when he looked at these poor souls that would now feel his wrath.
'Six high levelled NPCs should give quite a bountiful amount of EXP and loot!'
But something unexpected happened before Zoom could launch his assault on these 6 NPCs.
"Please make us your summons! We will forever be loyal to you and you only. Your every command we will follow until your death." Davie knelt and lowered his head touching the ground.
This action had surprised all of them even Davie, he wouldn't have done this if it weren't for the same phrase he would hear everytime his comrades would sacrifice themsleves.
"Go and live another day!"
This phrase echoed through his body like it was an instinct to do everything in order to survive. Dying now would mean the sacrifices his comrades have made were in vain. At the very least he wanted to live another day, he hoped to come back and give all his fallen members a proper burrial.
If he became Zoom's summon then he could still live again. This was a gamble since he didn't know Zoom's personality but what did he have to lose?
His career was over. All his comrades except for five of them who survived had died. His family and close relatives have long since perished after the abbysals have made a bridge entering this solar system three years ago.
The members were free to choose whether they wanted to join Davie and become Zoom's summons. They trusted their leader especially the four core members of Davie's army, they had been with Davie since the beginning of their careers, through life and death battles they have created a bond that made them almost unseperatable.
The last one was another random soldier,seeing that everyone and even the captain kneeling and bowing their heads he chose to join them and bowed before Zoom.
Zoom was shocked at what he saw but what shocked him next was that a screen had appeared in front of him.
[A human named 'Davie Jerol' has decided to serve you as a summon (Yes/No).]
[By accepting Davie Jerol's request you will recieve a skill called 'Summon']
It was a tempting offer, this was something new that would give Zoom a boost in his fighting prowess. So of course he had to say yes without a shred of doubt.
Zoom had also accepted the five other NPCs into becoming his summons. They were named as Rika, Lemrin, Reen, Fin and Terry. Rika and Seraphine where females with Rika being a paladin while Reen was a holy mage. Lemrin, Fin and Terry were males with Lemrin being a fortress bastion, Fin as a explosive specialist and Terry as a theif.
Davie on the other hand was a war master which gave him skills that could enhance and buff his army.
Zoom was happy to see so many different classes, each were unique that would be very useful to Zoom's progression.
Now that Zoom had finished dealing with the NPCs he went to look at his new skill.
[Summon (Legendary): Those who have chosen to serve you until your last breath will be added to your own personal army of summons. They will not need any mana to summon but upon death they would need a week of recovery before thay can come back to battle. The number of slots left (6/10)]
A legendary skill out of nowhere was definitely rare but it was within the scope of possibility. For such things to happen would require certain conditions to pass such as Davie offering the serve Zoom. Other conditions which were out of Zoom's train of thought had also been passed.
Zoom was already thinking of countless plans he would use this skill for which made him want to unleash a sinister laugh but kept it in. Of course he had to show the new members of his army that he was comepletely sane and not someone who has lost their sanity.
To give off a good impression Zoom removed the hood of his cloak showing his face to everyone.
'Luckily he's a human but is he evil or not?' Davie looked at Zoom with an expressionless face as he made eye contact.
The other five were observing Zoom as he approached them.
"My name is Zoom, just call me Zoom nothing else."
"Yes sir!" They somehow said this simultaniously which made Zoom facepalm.
"Zoom..." He repeated.
"Yes Zoom!"
"Good, I'm not going to act like I'm above any of you, we are a singular unit from this day forth so let's treat each other as family alright?"
What Zoom said stunned them, they had expected Zoom to act high and mighty but Zoom had said that they should treat each other as family. This was rare since most summoners would usually act like their above their summons but Zoom wanted for them to be on the same pedestal.
Whether this was a lie or not they were touched by Zoom's ammicable personality. In truth Zoom didn't want to act like he was above them, it felt weird for him, it was a feeling he didn't like. Since they were now part of his army Zoom wanted them to feel like their at home like a family and treat them with the respect they deserved.
They were suppose to be Zoom's targets to be killed but now they were allies. What a turn of events. They started to introduce themsleves but Zoom didn't stop them even when he already knew all their names.
