Chapter 36: GATES: Embodiment of Sins and Malice Part 3

I can say that this was the most f*cked up world I lived in. To produce such a heavy amount of malice means that the world is just too corrupted. No wonder too many calamities is occurring one by one. If all of the magicians are the ones to keep on dealing with them, I am quite sure that the magicians would dwindle in numbers due to the excessive amount of enemies and also a bit an inexperienced experience of most newbie magicians like me.

Why I am grumbling a lot is due to the enemies that appeared. These skeletons are too much of a pain. Sure they are easy to kill but they are far too many for me to handle. It was like looking at a group of fish and you are the food. It's not a problem with me with this tabar and the buckler, I managed to clear away many kinds of skeletons although you can say that they are just too brittle. The only problem is that they produce too quickly for me to handle. These monsters have a lot of tendencies to surround and kill me already but since I am tenacious, I am still alive.

"Tenacious? More like a brush. Earlier, you shook when you almost got stabbed by a skeleton on the head if not for the buckler that you quickly used to cover your head, you would be dead right now," the voice interjected.

"Shuddup, I am not talking to you. And also, I am not speaking, how come you can read what I am thinking?! Can't you give me privacy?"

"Hurhur."

"Damnit!"

I bash the buckler once more to the skeleton and with just a single smash and the skeleton fell to pieces. Still, these attacks of mine can't even defeat all of them, only a few can be caught all at once in a single bash and not all of them are brittle enough to break down in one attack. Sometimes, you need additional force to destroy the skeleton but it cost time and energy to do so. Also, there will be no end in sight if the enemy, the necromancer that keeps on summoning the skeletons is still alive. One thing to destroy the horde is to kill the summoner which is, in this case, is the necromancer. And that is the problem right now.

With the skeletons intact together and blocking the way, fighting your way to the necromancer is proving to be one of the hardest things to do. The Tabar is quite good and the buckler did a good job thinning out all of the skeletons but my energy and stamina are depleting way too fast.

"Your stamina and energy are almost around 30%. Please have some rest and retreat from the battle."

"You think it is easy to retreat with skeletons all around my surroundings covering my way?"

"Of course not."

"Then you need to shut up because the amount of enemies here is too much for me. I need to kill the necromancer as soon as possible."

"Then, why not use some tools from the Advanced Kit. Surely, there is something in there that can be of use?"

"Something...?"

Indeed, there were some things that can be useful inside the Advanced Kit but I don't think there is something that can kill these skeletons if used.

"Try scanning the enemies you defeat for information and find the right item. I thought you already realized it but I guess you are sometimes on the slow side."

I had no idea what the voice is talking about but I decided to believe in it. When I focused on the skeleton, a panel appeared before me.

(Cursed Skeleton)

Tier 2-Enemy

Description: These skeletons are not born from human remains. They are born due to malice and curses that builds up the Earth's dark side. You can say that they are not the undead but a type of curse on a moving entity.

Drops: Mana Shards, Dark Shard, Cursed Stone

Wait a minute, they are curses? They are not undead beings? Didn't I have an item that is very effective against curses? Without hesitation, I backed off from the horde of skeletons and made sure that I am free to move at the moment. When I am clear and the skeletons are still far from me, I quickly rummage inside the bag. Good thing this is a dimensional bag, picking up items is like selecting items from an inventory bag in a game. This item I need and that is the holy sh*t... wait, that was the holy salt and not holy sh*t. Also, to use this, I have to make sure that the enemies are curses type and since these bunch of skeletons is curse types, they will crumble in no time.

"Time to go pickle some bones!"

I sprinkle the salt to the incoming skeletons and without a doubt, the skeletons started to crumble to dust. It was quite a sight to see, seeing all of the moving skeletons crumble and disappear. Now, I just needed to go and kill the necromancer.

I have plenty of this holy sh*t- I mean, holy salt to use, and with the necromancer keeping his summons, again and again, this will be easy and I just need to clear the way to close into the necromancer and it will work well with this item. Then, all of a sudden, I heard a flapping wings above me. I frowned because its not a monster but a humanoid entity. The only thing is that this humanoid entity is a woman and she is wearing very revealing clothes.

"Oh? A human male? That was quite unusual for a human to wander around here!~" she said.

I tried directing my scanning ability to her but I only got an error.

"Hey, what io going on? Why can't I scan her?" I asked the voice.

"Oh, if someone cannot be scanned, that means that the entity is a creature or a person. From the looks of it, she is a succubus."

"Someone knows my kind? I see, so we are not yet forgotten I guess! And since you are fighting here and you are a male, will you accept me as your familiar? Then you can receive my assistance and I will guarantee that you will survive this ordeal. But in return, you give me your "energy"
