Death Mage with an SS-Rank Talent

Chapter 27: Chapter 27

Aaron was satisfied with what he got by improving the ranks of those two skills. He is a Death Mage and wouldn't be scouting or anything like that. So, the Death's Disguise wouldn't be used that much.

Even so, it can help him evade others who use some scanning skills to find him. It would be very useful in preserving his life.

All skills like that should be at a high rank and as this skill wouldn't develop faster, he used SPs to improve it. Though the loss of SPs was a lot, he is happy with the improved rank as that could save his life one day when needed.

Aaron now has 40 skeletons but can increase that number to seventy after the rank of the skill, Summon Undead has increased to Rank-7.

So, before he started to level, he first started to summon the skeletons. When he summoned new skeletons for his undead army, there was a surprise for him.

Among the first ones, there were Skeleton Archers. Yes, that means that Aaron finally has long-range attack capability now.

Even though, having archers is good, that was not the surprise. The surprise came when he summoned the last twenty skeletons.

There were 10 Skeleton Mages among them.

Yeah, mages and that means he now has magic means to attack as well.

First, he summoned close-quarter combat skeletons who used swords, then mid-range combat skeletons who used spears. He was more than happy with that, but now he has added Archers and Mages to his army as well.

This army can be said to be almost complete.

Since the army is made of undead, there is no need for any logistics. Healers are also not needed but Aaron is still a live person. So, a healer is definitely needed for him.

If not for that, then it could be said that the army is completely set.

Even though he wanted that, the chances of having a skeleton healer were pretty low and he never heard about such a thing before.

He heard about Skelton Mages but he never knew that increasing his skill to Rank-7 would give them. Only now he came to know.

"Maybe when I improve to Rank-9, I might get", Aaron hoped for that, though the chances are close to none.

Aaron once again checked his status before starting the level-up scheme.

Aaron was very satisfied with the status. He still has 422 Status points that he could allocate but a sudden increase in attributes makes him lose control over the body. So, for now, they would stay there.

Also, if there is an emergency where he needs a particular attribute more than others, he can allocate these points to that. So, he would never make the points reach zero easily. Some would be left for emergencies.

"Now, let's clean this dungeon in record time. Wait, is there even a recoding function here?" Aaron wondered for a second.

"It doesn't matter anyway. All of this would recorded in my brain, and that would be enough", he muttered as he ordered his skeletons to go on a rampage.

With archers and mages in the army, there was no need to hold back. The monsters here are just goblins, the weakest monsters in this dungeon. There was no reason to hold back.

So he unleashed all the skeletons that he had on the goblins on this floor.

As soon as those goblins were cleared, he could enter the next floor. Clearing these goblins wouldn't give him much EXP but the wolves on the next floor would.

For others at level 15, they wouldn't give anything but he has a talent which is very helpful in situations like these. For better results, he should go to the third floor or the final floor but Aaron being cautious didn't want to challenge the monsters on the third floor or the final floor.

The third floor is filled with a mix of goblins and wolves but their levels are higher compared to the goblins and wolves on the first and second floors.

The final floor only has a single opponent, the Boss Monster.

The boss monster could be either a Goblin King or a Wolf King.

No one knows which one would spawn. Of course, if one fails to kill that monster and dies there, then that boss would remain there too until whoever comes to clear the dungeon.

Sometimes, even after clearing it, the next one would be the same boss. There were only two bosses. So the chances of the same boss spawning consecutively are very high.

The boss is of level 20 but as Kings, they have special skills and would be much stronger than normal level 20 goblins or wolves.

So, clearing them would be a challenge.

Normally, no one challenges that one alone. Everyone would form a team, even if they are level 20. Only a few stronger professionals with better skills can fight those boss monsters alone.

Though Aaron has 70 skeletons, the boss would be quite intelligent and would definitely target him in the battle, even ignoring the attacks from his skeletons. He has no defensive items or skills to protect himself.

Once he was targeted, that would be it for him.

So, unless he was level 20, he was not going to challenge that boss. Even on the third floor, the monsters would be quite clever than the ones that he would be facing on floors one and two.

He would be going there only after he reached level 17 or 18.

Skeletons grow up with him and they can easily handle the monsters on the third floor at that time. He wouldn't need to be in fear of death all the time.
