"These foul demons knew worship? I must be daydreaming." Said Rick.
"Yeah, they do," he replied.
"Oh, I see, I can see them in a new light now." Rick was dumbstruck.
"Well, don't get impressed, it's a norm by the way." Ren explained.
"I see, well we got to stop their chants then? Shall we?" Roan then went to grip his chained daggers.
"Sure, with pleasure!" Rick then brandished his axe on his shield.
"They won't get agitated right?" Roan asked.
"Um, don't worry about such things. Just relax and kill," Rick said to him without worries.
"Um that is polar opposites from each other yes? Haha." Roan nearly chuckled.
Ren then made their team to prepare for combat.
The imps were busily dancing and Roan threw his chains towards one and their chant stopped. Making him to pull the imp towards him and then he stabbed it.
"Wow, I didn't know you can do that with your weapon." Ren praised him.
"Well, you can learn if you love your weapon that much." Roan said.
"Don't question how I love my weapon, it's my bestie in battle." Ren replied with dignified face.
He was still energetic and the other two were still in high energies. They soon raised their weapons and dashed. Ren was in the back and Rick was their fore front. Roan dashed towards the fray and ensued chaos. He activated beast aura and felt the difference in his attack speed. Making him swing his daggers in chains left and right that made the imps to spread out. No one wants to be culled in its path.
The imps then were alerted. But it was for naught. He immediately summoned Ravens to distract their backups, making them delayed for a few minutes. By then, it was enough time to slaughter them all.
Then immediately, he slashed with his daggers. Reverse gripping it and then culling the imps like they were dregs for slaughter.
Rick summoned a 3 elemental vines. The elemental vines spew fire, ice, and poison. Each to their kind.
Meanwhile Ren, he was at the back, firing soul fire and stunning the enemies for a second. Making the chaos to be more chaotic.
Ren was observing the battle and soon joined in. He has an attack that could stun enemies and a mid range slash that was like a wind blade of swordsman called Reaper Slash. It would be a waste if he could not make use of such precious skills.
With that, he slashed the enemies and it flung the imps that were heading towards him. A slash that was both magical and physical was devastating. He immediately went to the back to protect the other two in case some sneaky imps would attack from behind. It would be just a single soul fire to stun them.
Then the two moved deeper, Roan and Rick both on the front while Ren was in the mid. They couldn't afford to lose Ren as their vanguard so they protected him.
As for his asthma, he still has stamina to walk for several hours and still fight, but he won't last long if he will join in the battlefield.
He was having a hard time coping up with the two.
He immediately rest assured them that he could still go on for a another fight.
Then they proceeded deeper. Litters of bones and bodies of guards and several missing people were lying dead. They must be the ones that commander Vale have told. With that, they grabbed their army tags and left the place. They could only pray for their lost souls at the moment.
Ren then saw that these guards were not worth the time and effort to make them soldiers as they were not reaching the bare minimum requirement for them to join his skeletons' ranks. With that, it was better to let them rest. As his skeleton summoning skill was still limited.
Soon after, they arrived to their tents and barrels were arranged on the side of the tents. They were scattered here and there in the surroundings. Making him see that these demons were not responsible enough with their own territory.
The others made it here and some dead guards were here on the floor without being taken care of. Their dead soldiers were left rotting on the floor of this cavern. As such they could only pray for his rest. They immediately looted for some items here and there only to be left disappointed. This monsters were dirty poor and only has a few weaponry on their storage. Several copper coins were there in the chest and they looted them.
Moving on from the storage room, they went to the boss room of the cavern and to their surprise, it was a rogue assassin. Having a double dagger and hood was their signature outfits.
But something was missing, it's eyes were devoid of emotions and was white.
"Hmm, a corrupted hero." Ren told them.
"Huh? You mean!?" Roan exclaimed.
"Yes! He was the Rogue Assassin that fought against the Primordial evils. But was corrupted afterwards after slaying them. Making their minds lose sanity after being possessed. Now that he was here, I can't let this opportunity waste." Ren said to them.
"Meaning!? Oh that, you will make him your summon?" Rick said to him.
"Exactly!" Ren was more energetic than before. His opportunity will be wasted if he would just walk away. "It is not good to walk away from this opportunity. Why would a chicken walk away from it's feeds? Right?" He said to them then they chuckled.
"Yeah!"
"Exactly!"
They soon prepared and then attacked. With their formation, They will have to grit their teeth to attack. Especially when the enemy was a speed type one. Roan was excited to face off this enemy and Rick was guarding Ren. In which was not able to fight in battle of endurance and attrition. Nonetheless his asthma might relapse in the battle.
Roan then dashed and the enemy was sitting on a throne. Then stood up and disappeared in a flicker.
"Roan! At your back!" Ren exclaimed.
