Facing so many enemies, the health of the two Barbarians had dropped to a terrifying level.
At this time, their red potions were still on cooldown, and if they didn't retreat, they would definitely be killed by the 'zombies'.
"Paladins, Druids, step forward and replace the Barbarians."
"Barbarians, retreat. Pay attention to your positioning and don't make mistakes."
In reality, several of them were experienced in combat. After receiving Shikaku's command, The four people merely exchanged glances, and then the two Barbarians immediately retreated diagonally backward.
At the same time, the Paladin and Druid immediately stepped forward, filling the void left by the two Barbarians.
After taking medicine and resting for a while to recover their health, the two Barbarians stepped forward again to replace the Paladin and Druid.
The entire process was smooth and seamless, without any delay.
Just like that, this group of 'zombies' was completely wiped out in a battle where the Patriarch Squad cooperated flawlessly.
"Everyone, hurry up and recover."
Similar to the situation of many squads, they also smelled a very intoxicating scent.
The only difference was that these Clan Chiefs did not show any abnormalities, nor did they go outside the cave to rest; instead, they chose to rest in place.
Taking advantage of this time, the Elemental Mages, whose health had always been well maintained, began to collect the spoils of war and handed them over to Hiashi for unified distribution... After dealing with the zombie horde, next were the four Dark Skeletons.
When the Patriarch Squad arrived below the altar, Shikaku halted everyone.
"Everyone, line up first. When I say three, everyone will run up to the altar together."
With the previous teams as pioneers, Shikaku naturally knew how the Dark Skeletons appeared.
Therefore, in order not to be surrounded and killed by the suddenly appearing Dark Skeletons, Shikaku had everyone line up in a row, with Mages first, Druids and Paladins second, and finally the two Barbarians.
They wanted to rush up to the top of the altar as soon as the Dark Skeletons appeared, regardless of anything else, and then leave one Barbarian to guard the passage.
"Druids and Necromancers, pay attention to the positioning of your summoned creatures."
"Understood." X2
"Alright, I'm going to start counting."
"One"
"Two"
"Three"
"Run!"
Shikaku was the first to step onto the altar's stairs, and it was at this moment that four pillars of light appeared, and the Dark Skeletons made their debut.
The moment the skeletons appeared, the Druid and Necromancer ran while commanding their summons to entangle them.
Well, that is, to send them to their deaths.
The summoned creatures' suicidal actions bought them some time. Taking advantage of this time, they broke free from the Dark Skeletons' encirclement and all stepped onto the stairs leading to the top of the altar.
At this point, Shikaku's plan was half successful.
Looking at the time, they had two hours of game time left.
If the plan went smoothly, two hours would be enough for them to wear down these four skeletons.
Unfortunately, plans often can't keep up with changes.
As mentioned above, the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill accounted for a large part of Naruto's ability to contend with the Dark Skeletons.
Even if the two Barbarians here had much better Ninja cultivation than Naruto, the lack of raw strength was a major flaw.
"Shikaku, these Dark Skeletons have such high attack. I can't hold on much longer."
Upon contact, Hiashi was almost cut down by a Dark Skeleton. It was only by relying on his own abilities that Hiashi managed to maintain his position.
"The plan has changed, Choza, quickly go and fill the position."
"If you can't hold it, retreat. I'm right behind you."
The strength of the Dark Skeletons exceeded Shikaku's expectations.
In his script, two Barbarians rotating should have been enough to resist the Dark Skeletons, allowing three Elemental Mages and one Necromancer to unleash their full output from the back row.
However, the Dark Skeletons' attack was unexpectedly high, and two Barbarians were not enough for a perfect rotation.
Among the entire team, apart from the two Barbarians, only Shikaku, as a Paladin, had the highest defense.
So, there was no other way. He, the strategist, also had to step forward to block the entrance and buy time for the Barbarians to recover their health.
"Shikaku, Inoichi, get ready, I'm going to retreat."
"Retreat."
Similar to Hiashi, Choza didn't last long either. His health was no longer enough for him to hold on. After calling out to Shikaku, Choza immediately retreated.
Seeing Choza retreat, Shikaku first moved aside slightly to let Choza pass. At the same time, Inoichi also commanded his crows to fly in front of the Dark Skeletons, buying a little time.
After the crows died, Choza successfully retreated behind Hiashi, and Shikaku immediately stepped forward to fill Choza's vacancy.
Shikaku's Paladin equipment was slightly inferior to that of the two Barbarians.
However, fortunately, the Paladin's main attribute was defense, and his upgraded stat points were also primarily invested in defense and health.
Even if his equipment was a bit worse, his defense was not much inferior to the Barbarians, only his health was a bit lower.
But that was enough.
With the front line holding the attack, the back line could unleash their output without restraint.
At this point, the advantage of having three Elemental Mages plus one Necromancer became apparent.
Leaving aside the Necromancer, the power of its summons and curses was not that strong.
But as the class with the highest output, the Elemental Mages' magic power was quite formidable.
The three Mages in the back were not mindlessly spamming skills; they also used a rotation system to ensure continuous output.
Now was the time to test their patience. The Dark Skeletons had powerful attributes and could not be killed in a short time.
Besides the back row, the two Barbarians, the Paladin, and the Druid had to concentrate their attention to ensure they didn't make any mistakes.
As long as no mistakes were made, it was only a matter of time before the four skeletons were worn down and killed.
As the heads of some Ninja clans in Konoha, they would certainly not allow themselves to make such low-level mistakes.
Therefore, after hundreds of rotations, the four skeletons were finally all killed by them.
At this time, they still had half an hour before their game session ended, and their points were almost on par with Kakashis Squad... "As expected of a squad composed of the clan heads of various Ninja clans, truly impressive."
"Indeed, they made almost no mistakes in the game, and even handled unexpected situations very well."
"Can only say, as expected of them, right?"
The Patriarch Squad's operations greatly opened the eyes of the watching Ninja, especially their calm and collected attitude when facing crises, which truly taught a lesson to these Ninja who had never been on a battlefield.
At this point, the Patriarch Squad still had half an hour left. Even if they walked directly out of the cave and casually killed some small monsters, they could surpass Kakashis Squad.
Furthermore, Shikaku also had a town portal scroll in his backpack.
In their opinion, the championship title had already been secured by the Patriarch Squad.
