Then they went outside the in the forest along with other skeletons. After 5 minutes of strolling, they met 4 goblins in group.
S- Circle them silently.
Sk- Yes, my lord.
All five skeletons circled the goblins silently as commanded.
Goblins are normally too dumb and just attack anyone when they want food. So they did not notice the skeletons.
After the skeletons completely circled the goblins, Sumeno came in front of the goblins. Seeing him, The goblins started to run toward him but before they could even reach him, the skeletons came out and attacked the goblins. Hence, all the goblins died and the skeletons did not even get any scratch. The goblins were completely overwhelmed by the skeletons and died without having any chance to resist.
Sk- You are a great mastermind, my Lord.
S- it's nothing.
Then they went on. After some time, they found a group of six goblins but were taken care of similarly by 5 skeletons and skeleton elite. Eventually, they found a group of skeletons. In this group were 4 skeletons.
S- Can you?
Sumeno asked, pointing toward the skeletons with his head.
Sk- Unfortunately, I can only command upto 5 undead. If I forcefully command more, they would attack me.
S- Oh. If that's the case then let me kill them.(Thinks>) It will also help me completely my task.
He got inside the sight of the skeletons. Once the other skeletons saw him, all of them started to run towards him with their rusty swords except one. That skeleton stood behind and took out an arrow from his half-torn quiver. This surprised Sumeno as it was his first time seeing an undead archer.
S- Interesting.
The other three skeletons attacked. Sumeno easily dodged them. He kicked one of them but as he was going to punch the other one.
Whoosh!
An arrow came flying at him but Sumeno noticed it and grabbed it which was almost an impossible task for any ordinary person. He used the arrow he grabbed to put it on the skeleton who was in right side of him.
Sumeno suddenly heard a sound. It was from the bushes. Two skeletons suddenly emerged from the bushes with rusty swords in their hands.
S- (thinks>) There are more?!
As he was thinking, a voice came from behind.
Sk- That archer is an elite, Master!
Hearing that, Sumeno's eyes lit up. He retracted his side kick which he was going to attack the skeleton, stopping his leg very close to the skeleton. Due to him stopping his kick, the skeleton did not get hurt but the grass and the bushes moved toward the direction of his kick. This was enough to tell Sumeno's power. He dodged all the attacks of the undead as well as the archer's. He did attack but not hard enough to kill them. He was merely crippling them by breaking off their legs or arms.
At the end, he came near the archer. Seeing Sumeno's cold gaze the archer could not help but shiver with fear.
[Undead Archer- UA]
UA- Plea-a-se spare me.
S- Only if you submit to me. Say, are you willing?
UA- I-I-I am willing.
Hearing this Sumeno felt happy in his heart.
This was his first step to builds an army of Millions. With even Dragons and Phoenixes bowing down to him.!
This was his first step to build an mighty Empire. Unifying this world!
Sumeno and the other undead got back into the cave. Now the cave was not big enough to hold more then the persons in it. To take care of this, Sumeno sent two undead to guard the cave's entrance for the night.
At Night-
After eating the cooked wild boar that the Undead Archer had killed, Sumeno went back to his room and sat on his stone bed.
S- Now, Let's check what I got from my so called First Awakening.
The notifications flooded in his mind. Then, he checked them one by one.
S- The True Essence of Martial Arts.. I am now a Grandmaster! Oh! I got two new skills.
