As they saw the message about the skeleton hoard, they just sighed. They just woke up and they need to fight? that was the thought that ran through their heads.
Seul-gi sent out her crow while Joon-ho was preparing a spell of short.
"So, how are we doing this?" asked Spark "I and Seul-gi will be on top of the tower, and you with Seul-gi's spirit will be on the ground" answered Joon-ho.
But before Spark could say anything, the two of them went up the tower, closing the door behind them.
"What the hell guys?" screamed Spark. He banged on the door, but he knew it wouldn't help, so the only thing he could do was to prepare for the hoard.
There were around 5 minutes left before the hoard event would start and Spark was reading the basics of ice magic, trying to learn something from it, but it was hard to do on a deadline so short.
He was only able to learn how to make a small icicle, it wasn't much but he knew it was something.
While Spark was doing that down there, Joon-ho and Seul-gi were scouting where the hoard would be coming from.
"Wasn't it a bit extreme to close the door on Spark like that?" asked Seul-gi "He will be fine, if anything happens he will let him inside" answered Joon-ho.
As the timer on the system window reached 0, a flash of light could be seen from the silver pillar and the ground shock, and what could only be described as the sound of an army marching.
Seul-gi felt a thousands of skeletons coming out of the pillar and running outwards.
"Spark you ready?" asked Joon-ho "How much time we got?" responded Spark "About 30 minutes" said Seul-gi "Then I'm good" answered Spark.
Spark continued reading his book, he was now able to create a simple dagger and a small pillar made of ice.
Seul-gi was using her spirit to try making the number of skeletons smaller using lightning, but it didn't make a difference if she killed the skeletons or not because of the their numbers.
Weirdly, Joon-ho was still preparing a spell, but it didn't look like any attack.
At last, the wave of skeletons could be seen from the ground.
Spark prepared himself for the fight to come, the feeling of fear that overcame his body as he saw the wave of skeletons running down the alleyway.
Seul-gi was fireing lightning arrows at the hoard, but it didn't even slow them down.
As the hoard got close enough to the tower, Joon-ho relised the spell he was preparing. A layer of ice cowered the area around the tower, and also creating some walls to slow down the skeletons.
Spark and Seul-gi were surprised at what Joon-ho just did, but they didn't have time for that because of the skeleton hoard.
Seul-gi started fireing arrows, Joon-ho began to fire icicles and Spark was getting ready for the impact.
Joon-ho and Seul-gi were able to defeat most of the skeletons that came using area of effect attacks.
Lightning brush arrows from Seul-gi and what looked like a rain of ice shards from Joon-ho.
Spark and Seul-gi's spirit were responsible for killing anything that got past Seul-gi's and Joon-ho's attack.
The fight was tiring, Seul-gi and Joon-ho were starting to get exhausted from the constant attacks, while Spark was getting more and more damaged from the skeletons.
Spark also used his ability to create daggers to throw them at the skeletons, trying to train in the ice creation and dagger throwing.
When they were about to reach their limit after an hour, the hoard weirdly stoped.
The three of them regrouped at the top of the tower. Spark started the conversation with smacking Joon-ho in the head "What was that for?" asked Joon-ho while covering his head
"What kind of idea was that?!" angrily asked Spark, ready to give him another smack in the head.
"How much copper did you get?" asked Seul-gi, trying to deescalate the situation "I got about 600" said Spark "I got a 1000".
"Isn't little? I mean we probably killed hundreds of skeletons and this is what we got?" questioned Seul-gi, still trying to stop the two from fighting.
"Probably the skeletons drop less money in this event" said Joon-ho "Sounds about right" added Spark, but as he did another system window appeared.
'First skeleton wave is over, soon the wave boss will appear'
"Just great" said Joon-ho before starting to prepare another spell.
