Nothing happened for a while. Manu and Vinay looked at each other. Manu asked, "Does this rule not apply to girls?"
"Let's wait for some seconds; I don't believe undead monsters are simps," replied Vinay, his eyes wide open, scanning his surroundings.
"Can you explain to me what you guys are looking around for? Maybe I can help you," said Nina as she approached them. They suddenly heard the sound of some weird instrument. The giant gate that was half opened until now was finally fully opened, and the skeletons started rushing through it as water does when the flood gates are opened in a Dam.
They were just too many, and while Dilip was able to deal with the ones around him, more and more were rushing out from the sides. He started using the AOE attack skill to target multiple opponents. It worked, but not in the ideal way that it was intended to work.
Dilip shook his head in disappointment. "It's not like I can do something about it," he stomped angrily. His heart started to beat very fast, and that was when a small explosion occurred inside him. He steered and found some weight lifting from his shoulders.
He closed his eyes, and his spear suddenly burned in a strange dark blue flame. The flame started concentrating on the tip and became semi-solid. "All I can do is make sure to stop as many as I can."
He swung his spear again, splitting the opponents around him in half. Everything his aura touched got stuck to it, and he started burning it to ash. He started laughing in joy, forgetting about everything else. "It's been a while since I used my spear aura. It has gotten a lot stronger than the one I remember."
He performed the AOE skill 'Fire Wheel Slash' again; he spun with his spear and launched a wave-like attack everywhere. The attack blasted the ones at the front, while the ones at the back were able to survive only to feel a burning pain; they were burning in a strange blue flame that didn't stop no matter what they did. "It's a pity I cannot use my Aura freely."
"What's that?" asked Nina as she looked at the swarm of enemies approaching them. Manu looked at it and said, "It's what it appears to be, a wave of skeleton soldiers. There are even Skeleton Archers there this time."
"See, I told you undead community people are not simps; they treat both genders equally," said Vinay, not a bit concerned in his mind about the upcoming enemy wave. These skeleton waves were getting stronger each time; if it took five slashes to take down one, they required at least ten to defeat one.
They felt hopeful looking at the number when they saw a wheel-shaped wave from the gate and blasted half of the opponents. The ones caught by its explosion were burning in a strange blue flame that covered their bodies and started to burn them to death.
"What was that?" asked Nina. She could not believe someone could easily destroy so many opponents. Manu replied, "It was an attack from senior Dilip. It looks like he is having fun. It's good for us; we can defeat the upcoming enemies now that their number has decreased."
"He is right; let's start preparing," said Vinay as he started summoning his own Skeleton Soldiers. He also cast 'Corpse Explosion' and blasted the bodies of the Skeletons killed by Dilip's attack.
The explosion was massive and further reduced the number of opponents. The only sad part was that he had recently awakened this skill, and the cooldown for it was long.
The battle continued with Nina and Manu fighting at the front while Vinay assisted them from the back. Dev assisted Lalit and Jay to cross the bridge first while he stooped all the opponents.
When Jay and Lalit crossed the bridge, they saw their teammates and started assisting them. Together, they were able to defeat the opponents soon. Vinay and Manu looked at the two new members and were quiet; instead, they were looking around.
If they were correct, the situation was about to turn to hell. Their prediction was correct, as a strange giant red summoning circle appeared on both sides of the bridge, from which Skeleton Soldiers came out and started rushing at the bridge; this time there were even Skeleton Knights leading them.
When Manu looked at this, he held his head and said, "Shit, what to do now? More opponents are coming from the main gate while those who came out of the magic circles are directly going to the bridge."
"It's simple; we will divide the work. Jay and I will stop the opponents that are attacking Dev with our long-range attacks, while you and Nina will stop the opponents coming from the giant gate," said Vinay.
"Sounds like a good plan," said Nina as she turned towards the opponents coming from the giant gate. They could still see that no skeleton soldiers had come from the center of the gate. Some strange slashes appeared once in a while that blasted every opponent they came in contact with.
"That guy is a monster," said Nina as she looked at the opponents that were turning into ash even when touched by a small amount of Blue Flame. She removed her sword a little from its sheath before attacking every opponent approaching her.
Manu assisted her with his spear; he had significantly improved since he started training with Dilip. He swung his spear and started using it as he was taught; his right hand had a firm grip while his left hand loosely held it. This helped him with the thrusts; he was improving at a very rapid pace while fighting.
Rishi, who was on the shaky bridge, started sweating when he looked at the number of opponents approaching him. He was not afraid of their numbers; instead, the effect of their weight on the bridge was more concerning to him. "This bridge never breaks or cracks when skeleton soldiers run on it; it only cracks when humans do so. What a wicked trap."
He ordered the one hundred and fifty weapons in his hand to attack the approaching enemies. The daggers flowed out like magic swords and started blasting the heads and chests of any opponent they came in contact with. However, these opponents differed from others; it required multiple weapon hits to eliminate even one.
He looked at the two swords of the two skeleton soldiers he had eliminated; he used his "Ruler's Authority" skill and called them toward him.
The opponents were still approaching him, but the two swords came first. Rishi held them in his grip and swung them a little. "I think they will work just fine." He summoned his sword aura and covered them in it. This time he had properly used his indigenous way of covering the swords in sword energy to protect them from his aura.
