The other two skeletons fell victim to Midnight and Onyx. Walker didn't even have a chance to use any spells. Midnight pounced on one cutting through the weak and burned bones in a single slash. Onyx coiled and jumped at the other to bind it but found that as he did the bones broke away and the skeleton fell to pieces.

"I feel like the skeletons are not the most dangerous undead here. There are still some markings of the rock horned vipers coming here and these skeletons don't seem like they could easily beat them." Walker was sure that the skeletons would be defeated with ease against the rock horned vipers they saw.

"I wouldn't be too sure. The rock horned vipers are curious and weak when young. The newly hatched most likely came to explore and were ambushed by the skeletons." Zenith understood the rock horned vipers much better since she grew up in the caves. To any dwarf, this was a common knowledge fact. However, to Walker and Su, it was new information.

Midnight was clawing at the bones still and looked unhappy. She normally would have tried to snack on them but continued to find that they were crumbling away and weak. They wouldn't give her anything she wanted. After the evaluation that there were no snacks to be had here, she was not the happiest camper prompting Walker to take a small piece of jerky out of his inventory to share with her.

"Bigger ahead!" The other earth elemental spirit had traveled ahead to check things out. Walker was glad that it had finally started to be a little more interested now that it saw the other elemental spirits speaking. The only other one was the dark spirit which appeared content with hiding in Su's shadow.

"It looks like there is an open space up ahead. We should be able to stretch out a little if there aren't too many skeletons around." Walker pointed ahead and Zenith opened another scroll ready to sketch out what was there.

"Midnight and Onyx can hide away. There may be more to this ruin ahead." Su wanted to have Midnight ambush any skeletons ahead like last time. For her, it was a great way to relax knowing that she could distract and attack while they attacked.

The group moved forward but this time Walker prepared himself to use the twin blitz swords. He wanted to be able to slash through the skeletons if possible but also anything else that they encountered.

When they came to the opening that the elemental earth spirit had warned them of, they were shocked by the designs. There were multiple fire elemental monsters carved in to the walls here along with multiple burial spots. The stone coffins were in the wall slots but some of them shook with skeletons inside.

In the back of the chamber was a set of aged steps that lead to a platform. There were five skeletons surrounding a large coffin that had multiple chests around it. They were standing idly while moving here and there to make motions to the coffin.

"It looked like they are worshipping the coffin. That must be the flame mage buried here," Walker connected these dots as he watched them. "One of them has a staff though. I don't think it will be as weak as the others." As if to react to his words they saw the skeletons all turn their heads to the group.

"Zenith, remain behind me. This is not the same as before." Su was on high alert as she saw the skeletons break their circle and move towards them. Four of them had no weapons and shambled slowly. But the fifth one holding the staff was even slower but appeared to have a slight bit of intelligence. When Walker saw it raise the staff he knew it was intentional.

"Magic attack incoming. Watch out," Su lifted the shield as soon as a fire bolt came at her. This one didn't have the same explosion as Walkers, but it still causes embers to fall around the group. Zenith hurriedly wrapped up her scrolls to protect them since they could get damaged. She hid even closer behind Su so that she wouldn't be targeted.

"I am taking the lead, guard Zenith Su." Walker shouted as he dashed forward towards the skeletons. He wanted to deal with the four weak ones so that they could team up against the mage skeleton that was using magic against them. The good thing was that the skeleton seemed to be gathering more elemental mana and would take time to form another fire bolt.

Walker reached the skeletons and released a cross slash. It had been some time since he used the skill and he felt that it was very fitting since it carved through two of the weak skeletons. The other two were on opposite sides of him but they didn't know that Walker was also using his slash zone skill.

The skeleton behind him came in to his area and Walker slashed backward without even looking. The skull of the skeleton was split in perfect halves and the body fell to pieces. The other skeleton was suddenly crushed as Onyx shot out of the shadows to bind it.

This left Midnight sprinting at the skeleton mage ahead which was sending a fire bolt at her. Unfortunately, for it, this was a terrible match up. Midnight loved the warmth and was able to resist it completely. When the fire bolt was sent at her it hit her and didn't even leave a burn mark on her scales. The skeleton didn't have time to attack again before Midnight slammed in to it crushing it completely The staff fell to the ground that it had wielded. The group sat in silence while they looked for more enemies.
