Chereads / Starting As A Rookie In The Hardest Level / Chapter 12 - March Of The Dead

Chapter 12 - March Of The Dead

Alex smoothly breaks the arrows coming at him with a butterfly kick, one by one.

Two skeletons comes jumping from left and right, one was holding a spear and other holding a sword.

"Quick Dash" Alex jumps behind the skeleton in the right, kicks him far away and picks up his sword.

This was his first time holding a decent weapon, both the dagger and the dead's sword were unconventional.

He slices the skeleton in the left, picks up the spear and throws the sword away. He was now swinging the spear round and round imagining himself like a Shaolin Warrior.

'When I was a kid I use to spin the sticks and fight against my neighbors, of course I would win, I am confident in ability. This brings back memories'

Alex actually tries swinging the spear in the middle of the fight and cuts three of the skeletons coming at him.

After fighting for the past 5 minutes, the number of backup skeletons were starting to decrease.

"Too bad you guys were against the best spear user from Earth"

Soon one of the skeletons observing from the top of a stone throws a gas on top of the cave. The explosion sent a huge wave of sound across the place.

Alex quickly dashes towards him and swings the spear. The head of the skeleton rolls down like a ball.

All of the skeletons he had broken, all were still alive and staring at Alex, their disected limbs and legs were still moving.

Soon a group of skeletons come rushing, and from all sides skeletons surrounds him everywhere.

Tall 6 foot skeletons were standing at the front, behind were small normal skeletons just like the ones he had recently fought, and rest were group of 50 archers. It was an whole army. Alex could never fight against such number of enemies. What's more worse was, there was a Skelton leaking strong Aura.

It was the Lich. He was wearing a necklace embuded with three stones.

The Lich raises his staff, and all the disassembled skeletons starts to connect their bodies again and stands up.

All the 20 skeleton he defeated were now back to their feet. "You must be their leader" Alex stares at the Lich.

Alex looks at the spear unhappy. "Farewell buddy". He holds the spear tight like a juvenile and throws it at the Lich with full strength.

Two guards in golden suit comes out of nowhere and blocks the spear coming at full speed. By the time they block it, Alex was missing. To be presice, he starts running at full speed.

The archers starts throwing arrows at Alex but he was already too far. And as ge climbs the huge rock, he stares at them with a smile. "You guys are slow"

Down the stone, was other large rocks making the road extremely narrow and unbalanced. Alex was jumping from one rock to another, quickly subduing any leftover skeletons from the front. While also simultaneously blocking the arrows coming from behind.

Alex was going at a fast pace, no one was following him from behind and he couldn't see anymore skeletons from the front. "They finally lost track of me."

Just when Alex was celebrating, from the top of the stone of left side, a huge 7ft wolf falls from the ground. It was badly injured and claw marks were everywhere in his body.

A white tiger comes flying from the stone, immediately landing at the ground with strong aura. It stares at Alex who was 20 meters far from them. Cautious, Alex didn't move and just stares at them.

The tiger presses his paw on the wolf's wounds, helpless he cries. Alex could tell, he couldn't win against him in a fight even if he wants.

As the tiger opens it's mouth ready to lunge at the wolf, a single arrow comes flying from other side of the rock and lands straight at the tiger's thighs.

The White tiger, stares at Alex as he was the only one present there. Slowly it approaches Alex with a strong, angry glare. Slowly moves his paws towards Alex until he eventually speeds up and jumps at Alex.

"Fuck" Alex dodges the attack and dashes straight forward. "Thise skeletons are still behind me." With an annoyed expression he starts running.

Behind him now, the tiger starts chasing him. The wolf also slowly gets up and starts running towards a different direction. He stares at Alex before heading.

The tiger had huge vertical jumps, he jumps on top of where Alex moves and blocks his path for the next two minutes. Alex tired takes out the sword he picked up from one the skeletons on the way.

"I don't know why you're getting in my way, but you will come to regret this, you bloody cat."

Alex starts clashing his sword with the tiger, the tiger was very fast and had strong reflex. Each time he raises his sharp claws trying to cut Alex, that's all the more reason why Alex must dodge him at all cost.

Unfortunately, Alex wasn't able to dodge one of the many attacks. But he almost forgets he was wearing a strong armor. Alex smiles as he heads to the tiger. Each and everytime he swings his sword, the tiger gets slash bit by bit.

Cuts were everywhere on the tiger's body. Desperate the tiger jumps on top of Alex but Alex was too fast for the tiger to catch.

Soon the Skeletons caughts up with Alex. Arrows were flying from everywhere. Both the tiger and Alex retreats from the arrows.

Just when he was moving forward, the tiger angry, also chases him. And behind a group of skeletons on dark horses chases behind the tiger.

In front was a huge dark forest, Alex didn't had the time to process the information and just keeps heading. He runs at full speed leaving both the tiger and the skeletons far behind.

Soon he steps on something wierd, it was a trap leading him straight 20 feet in the ground full of spikes. Thanks to the tough boots, Alex received no injury.

The tiger passes the place without noticing Alex as the grasses were wild and thick everywhere. Eventually all the group of skeletons passes without realising it.

Alex was just chilling deep inside for a little longer. Until he was sure they all left.

Finally, fresh air. Alex takes a deep breath as he appreciates the green scenery raising both his arms. Alex just lies on the ground closing his eyes. "This is peaceful"

Soon he hears a cry from afar. When he gets close behind the long thick grasses. It was the wolf from before crying. Besides him was another wolf lying dead.

It was his wife.

The wolf suddenly notices a noise, his tears turned into anger. His eyes were bloody red as he slowly approaches towards the mysterious creature hiding.

He was grinding his teeth in pure rage and couldn't see anything else. Alex stands up as hiding was of no use.

The moment the wolf looks at Alex he immediately recognises him and just walks past him and heads straight.

Alex on the other hand goes close to the female wolf who was now dead. Looking at the marks of claws it was definitely of the White Tiger.

Alex also thinks about Joshua and Ethan as he stares at the angry wolf quietly walking away. "Will I also be able to control myself like him if something happens to them?"

Soon the Skeletons comes out of nowhere and charges at Alex, he was quickly surrounded. All the Skeletons had arrived, and just behind was the Lich.

Arrows were now coming flying from all directions. Alex swiftly and precisely deflects the arrows with the sword.

The Lich stares at Alex with anger as if this time he won't let him escape.

The 6ft skeletons marches towards Alex swinging their massive great swords.

Alex smiles confidently as the swords were incredibly massive. "I am your worst match up"

Alex starts dodging them while not having to worry about arrows at this point. Breaking their arms, skulls and legs with great flexibility.

The Lich unhappy orders to launch arrows even at their allies.

"Have they gone crazy" But to his expectations the enemies keep attacking as they were undead and arrows had no effect.

Now that his movements were restricted from the arrows, Alex was actively exchanging blows with the giant skeletons. Their sword was so heavy that he had to either deflect them or dodge.

[Strength : 31.3 ]

'If only my strength stats were the same as my agility, I would have destroyed them instantly.'

Soon the white tiger jumps on top of one of the giant skeletons staring viciously at Alex.

"It wasn't me, it was these guys that attacked you" Alex points at the skeletons but it was useless. The tiger was dead set on him.

The wolf howls loudly as soon as the tiger appears, with pure rage in it's bloody eyes, it was now running towards the tiger.

As if it's a do or die.

The Lich raises his staff and starts gathering mana.

Alex was now in the middle of an unnecessary war that he was dragged into.

'It all started after I killed that skeleton.'

"Let's end this once and for all." Alex charges straight towards the Lich evading all the incoming attacks.
