Chapter 3 - undead army

After spending a few hours in the dungeon Ash arrives at his home, relaxing as the day goes by.

Once the sunsets Ash returns to the dungeon eager to explore it, he grips his spear tightly as he opens up the dungeon door. Entering the muddy graveyard, Ash glances around him as he enters not seeing any skeletons. Quickly he moves to explore the dungeon.

He finds a small building looking like a gravestone for richer people, he enters the building and inside is a few small chests and a coffin.

Using his spear he first opens the coffin, seeing a skeleton inside holding a shiny sword.

It starts to rattle as it moves standing up, swiftly swinging its sword at Ash.

Enhanced bones

Level: 1

Effects: the user in its life had exceptional strength, a small portion of its strength has been infused into the user's bones. Doubling the user's resistance and strength.

Ash looks with interest as he dodges the sword attacks. "Seams like skeletons carry some of the strength of their lives before death." He whispers.

Using his spear he slashes at the skeleton, as the blade of the spear lands against the skeletons bones it stops leaving just a small scratch against the bone. The skeleton using its sword slashes towards Ash.

Ash narrowly dodging a sword attack he quickly pivots to put some distance between them, he then uses gust of wind. A small swirl of wind forms in front of Ash before it burst forward covering the skeleton, a few small scratches form along the skeletons bones.

Just before the wind disappears Ash launches a few piercing strikes with his spear, the skeleton rattles.

Reacting to Ash's attacks the skeleton strikes Ash with its sword, easily slicing through Ash's stomach. As blood pours from the wound Ash looks with anger activating his black hole skill not holding it back planning on consuming everything including his own weapon.

"Consumed silver coated steel spear Level 1, +1 magic."

"Consumed Royal knight skeleton level 10, +5 strength, +5 resistance."

"Consumed Royal enchanted steel long sword level 5, +10 resistance, +5 strength, +2 magic."

"Life Energy has been consumed, healing 90% max HP"

Ash looks in shock as the wound on his stomach nearly disappears becoming a light scratch. The blood stopped flowing shortly after.

Looking around the room their seams to be two chests each made of heavy wood and thick metal bands, Ash attempts to lift the lids of the chest and struggles barely able to lift it more than an inches or so.

Ash goes to the second chest and this time with more ease he opens the lid, inside seams to be a small vial of purple liquid that sparkles as if made of gemstones.

Looking at it with the card he has, he sees what item it is.

Crystal Clarity Potion

Level 1

Effects: allows the user to use magic based skills at double the normal range. Non ranged skills become ranged with 1 meter of range. This effect lasts for 1 minute.

Ash smiles, his current magic skill has a range of five metres, with this he can attack from a whole ten metres away.

Heading over to the first chest, Ash uses all his might to barely lift the lid. Finally the lid falls over leaving the chest wide open.

Inside lays two beautiful gemstones one of a reddish colour with deep red nearly black swirls, the second a dull clear gray hue fills it through.

Next to the gemstones lay a small dagger looking fairly ordinary except it's outlandish curve of the blade.

Using his card he looks at the three items.

Ash smiles as he pockets the gemstones and grips onto the dagger ready to leave the dungeon for the day.
