Vincent retracted his tentacles, liquifying them into layers of blood, absorbing the blood back into his body through the pores on his skin while dropping straight down to the ground. He created a few crimson platforms in the air, stepping on them to decrease the speed at which he was falling towards the ground.

Once his feet touched the ground, he started to dart towards one of the four corners of the hall, which was the furthest away from his teammates.

The four giant skeleton warriors, as well as several dozen skeleton warriors, chased after him, moving as fast as their bodies could, trying their best to catch up to him.

Vincent ran away from the giant skeleton warriors and charged straight into dozens of skeleton warriors, launching his fists and legs at them, smashing them into pieces with normal punches and kicks.

After finishing them in a couple of seconds, he started running again, moving towards the vacant corner and luring the monsters behind him there.

Along the way, many skeleton warriors managed to land a hit on him, but the negative energy barrier protected him from all the attacks, making sure that he receives no damage.

Vincent smiled. He was physically powerful enough to smash the skeleton warriors in the early to the peak levels of the magical realm into pieces and above all that, the defensive skill of the Bracelet of Strength was strong enough to endure all the attacks thrown towards him by the skeleton warriors. With such an overpowering combo of skill and physical strength, he didn't need to worry about moving through the ranks of a huge number of enemies in the first to the tenth level of the magical realm.

Moreover, he didn't only merely destroy the skeleton warriors but also took away their life orbs, storing them in his subspace.

[Item's Name: Life Core of a skeleton warrior in the ninth level of the magical realm.

Description: Created by a person proficient in alchemy and dark arts, the core has a lot of uses. You can convert it into 90 units of the essence of life or use it to create undead.]

"I have hit the jackpot!" Vincent said wordlessly, smiling from ear to ear while killing the skeleton warriors on his way towards the vacant corner of the hall.

He reached there after a minute and then came to a halt, waiting for the giant skeleton warriors to catch up to him. Once they reached near him, they brandished their weapons towards him at the same time, swinging it down, making it fall towards Vincent.

Whoosh

The shadow of the four swords loomed over him as they dropped towards him.

Before they could reach him, however, Vincent stomped his foot on the ground, dashing out of the range of the swords.

The swords crashed on the ground. The impact created four large lacerations on the ground, caused dust to rise from the ground, and produced a resounding thudding voice that echoed through the hall, ringing in the ear of Vincent and his teammate.

Although his ears were ringing and his body trembling due to the vibration, Vincent didn't stop stopping, and he rushed towards one of them, and once he reached a few meters away from it, he took off the ground, landing his feet on its ribcage, creating a large crack to appear on it, and lifted it off its feet.

The sword slipped through the hands of the giant skeleton warrior, plunging down to the ground as it flew backward, crashing down on top of more than seventy skeleton warriors.

The giant skeleton warrior crashed on top of its kin, crushing them down to the floor, shattering their life orbs, killing them.

The moment their life orb shattered, life force leaked out of it, permeating the surroundings.

[There's a large condensation of life force in the air. Do you want to absorb it?]

Vincent didn't have any time to reply to the heirloom of his family as the other three giant skeleton warriors brandished their weapons at him, intending to crush him to death.

When the weapons were about to reach him, he moved out of the way, evading all three of them by a hairsbreadth.

The three swords crashed on top of each other, producing a distasteful sound that rises chill up one's spine, and Vincent, whose hearing was far better than a normal human, didn't far any better.

He controlled it, though, moving ahead and sliding from underneath the narrow passageway of the swords to run away from two of the giant skeleton warriors and towards the giant skeleton warrior whose sword was pressed beneath the sword of the other two.

The monster saw Vincent near it, so it decided to crush him, but when the monster tried to raise its sword, it was confused to realize that it could not raise it.

It's because its sword was pressed beneath the swords of the other two giant skeleton warriors.

Thus, the monster used all its strength to forcefully lift its sword from the ground. Although it managed to yank off their sword and lift it above the ground, it also caused the two others giant skeleton warriors to stagger and fall on their butts.

The skeleton warriors unlucky enough to be behind them were crushed under their weight, dying immediately.

"These four monsters are no joke. They are at least as powerful as a monster in the demonic realm. If their weapons hit me, my shield would surely shatter, and then I might even lose in the long run." Vincent's eyes squinted as he thought that there is no way he can afford to get hit by them. "There's only one way to perfectly secure victory against them. Take advantage of their weakness and use it against them."

The big guys were strong and fast, but there's no denying that they are clumsy and dumb.

As long as he uses their stupidity and clumsiness to his advantage, then he might be able to take them down all by himself, and even if he failed, he was sure that he would be able to kill them once his teammates finished the remaining skeleton warriors and group up with him.
