The commander hurried and went to see them himself. Approaching his assistant on the way and he wore a worried expression.
"Sir, those three, they were monsters!" He shouted.
"Huh? Why? What happened?" Vale asked.
"They, they are too strong! They could rival the best in the guards. No, to think they were just playing with them! I have seen it, they could obliterate the whole guards in the camp with just one of them. How much more with their summons!" He blurted out.
"What? How come? They were just kids right? Damn, my premonition was true after all." Vale could not hide his excitement. Finally, they have ace and trump card in their sleeves. With them, they would have a chance fighting the darkness.
They hurried to see the three and they saw the guards shaking. Some were shocked to the point they smashed their butts to the ground.
The three then were seen standing at the center of the training grounds and all the guards who were training there were left with no choice to surrender.
The aftermath was chaotic. Almost more than half of them were left traumatised with what they experienced.
They soon gathered and Commander Vale arrived. The guards then went to meet him and saluted.
He saluted back and they were immediately relieved by other guards.
"Rest well, you all did a good job." He said to them.
Ren as well as the others came to meet him and were giggling. They finally went to release a bit of tension from their shoulders.
"Gosh the guards nearly peed in their pants." Said his assistant.
Vale then turned serious, "Follow me," he said to them then turned around. The three immediately followed him.
"Where are we going?" Asked Roan, he was curious as to what would happen next.
They immediately felt that Vale became serious. As to what he was thinking, they did not know.
They arrived at the tent of his and then they all saw a chest covered with red cloth. The three all looked at each other before seeing Vale to kneel and opened the chest. He searched the inside then got three papers made of brown colour. The three then already knew what was it and they all smiled.
"These three skill pages, will be handed out to you in advanced as an advanced payment. Please make use of it. It was all the skill pages that I could acquire for now. I will find more in the near future." He said to them.
"Sir, thanks for the skill pages. We will make use of it to the fullest. As for the skill pages, we could acquire them on our own." Rick said to him.
"Oh well, I would not worry then. We will still try to do our part. Also, we will send recommendation letters to the Academy if you all want to grow further. I hope you all would grow there." He said then gave them the letters.
They received the skill pages and Ren got a Necromancer skill page. It was called [Reaper Slash]. It was a magical and physical damage that converges in a slash.
He got the skill and then was happy. As for Roan, he got [Beast Aura]. It would have result to having more sensitive reaction speed and attack speed as well as movement speed.
For Rick, it was called [Druidic Armour]. It would make his body covered in Druidic Armour that blocks damage for a period of time.
The three then were excited. "Guys let's take down the monster lair. I am excited to let loose." Roan said then Rick agreed with a nod.
They all went to exit the camp and then went to see the dead forest outside.
"Guys, let's all come back in one piece." Ren said to them.
"Agreed." Roan said to him. Rick then went to go in the front, Roan on the mid and Ren in the back.
"How strong imps are? I am curious." Asked Rick.
"Ah, well, they are short and fast. They could even be better at arms compared to goblins." Ren explained. "As well as they are able combatants solo. Some elites could even rival or could kill hobgoblins."
"Nice, well, we could rely on you when it comes to monster encyclopedia. By then, tell us about what we encounter okay?" Rick said to him.
"Sure, leave it to me," Ren said to him while scratching his head. "I sure know a thing or two,"
"Good, now who will be the leader?" Asked Rick. "I am hot blooded so I can't be the leader."
"Ren, you should be the leader. Seeing that you reached for me when I am wounded, I know you will be the one who leads us." Roan suggested.
"Yeah! Be the leader, also, we need to form a party of job classed persons that will vanquish the evils!" Rick suggested.
"Sure! That is a big goal but we will try!" Shouted Ren.
"Yes! From here on, we will be called the Resistance!" Said Roan. "Let the purge of evil begin!"
Yeah!
Alright!
They soon were in high spirits and were in the mood to slay some monsters. The thing was, they prepared to their conquering of the cavern of evil. They said their farewells to General Vale.
"Come back alive. I will wait here for you all." Vale stood on the exit of the camp. Facing them to send them off.
"GOD SPEED!" He said with a proper salute.
"Yeah! You too! God Speed!" Ren replied.
They soon went to the road leading towards the cavern. As they have stated, there was a graveyard nearby and they soon followed Ren towards it.
It was full of thorny vines and some of them were covering the walls of the graveyard. It was eerily deafening, the silence was suffocating and disturbing. Ren then smiled after seeing some ghosts.
"Ren? Why are we in a graveyard?" Asked Rick.
It was an old graveyard that has dead soldiers and civilians alike. They were teeming with walking undead and also some ghosts wandering about.
"Hmm? I will take some of our soldiers from the ghosts here! Also called the Ghost Recruitment. Or what I called it." Ren explained but they immediately caught up to the uptake.
He was a Necromancer by the way.....
