The two of them ran and stopped when they saw Alex and Max running toward them.

“What happened? who screamed?” Gabriel asked.

“Skeletons…” Max muttered.

“What!! skeletons…where?”

“Hey Rebecca heal Max, we’re going to need all the HP we can if we are hoping to survive,” Alex said.

[+10HP]

[10sec Cooldown]

Rebecca touched Max with her healing cane and the 10HP he lost from an attack was restored immediately.

An eerie sound echoed throughout the forest, and one skeleton stepped out of the darkness, the skeleton was wielding a sword and had a broken shield with him as he dragged his feet on the ground.

“That wasn’t the one we saw, the one we saw was much faster and he had a spear,” Max said.

“Then we are probably surrounded by skeletons, we should find a way to escape or we are all doomed,” Alex said.

“Can I log out…” Rebecca whispered, her whole body was trembling as she saw the skeleton slowly walking towards them.

“You can’t log out when fighting, don’t worry we are going to protect you, just heal us if we are attacked, I’m going to find a way out of here, protect her and protect yourself at all costs,” Alex said and turned around, he quickly dashed away to find a way out.

From the darkness two more skeletons followed the first one and joined him, Gabriel didn’t wait for them to move close, immediately he unleashed a fireball spell.

[-10HP]

The fire hit the skeleton and pushed it back a little but it only removed 10HP out of 170, if Gabriel was alone he would only be able to kill one of them before he runs out of Mana.

“Gabriel stay with her, I would attack them,” Max said and charged forward.

The skeletons were slow and that alone gave Max the fighting edge, he could attack two of the skeletons at once and each successful hit deducted 30HP from the skeletons.

Max attacked the skeletons furiously landing hit after hit on the skeletons till he killed the first one and he immediately leveled up, the bones of the skeletons divides and disintegrate as soon as their HP is zero.

“Those skeletons must give tons of XP… Max leveled up after killing just one” Gabriel looked at Max with a twinge of envy.

“Arrrgh…” Rebecca shouted as she saw another skeleton rushing towards them.

[Fireball]

Gabriel unleashed flame after flame till the skeleton’s HP reduced to zero and it fell on the ground, Gabriel was breathing heavily from all the Mana he wasted on one skeleton.

Max rushed back to them after he defeated the tree skeletons in front of them, and more skeletons continued emerging from the forest toward them.

“What is happening…where did all the skeletons hide themselves?” Max asked.

“That’s because they didn’t hide themselves,” Alex said behind them and all of them flinched, even Rebecca used her cane to strike Alex.

“Your healing cane isn’t for attacking…the skeletons were never here but a mage was here all along,” Alex said.

“So a mage is controlling them is attack us, then we have to find the mage and kill him first,” Max said.

“We have to take care of them first” Gabriel spoke, the skeletons were surrounding the four of them without attacking them.

*Boom!! Boom!!*

The group heard a loud sound and immediately all the skeletons stopped moving and stood still, a green light shined and illuminated the area and the group looked towards the light.

A skeleton was sitting on a stone, the skeleton’s hands were responsible for the green light that illuminated the area and it looked at them with a smile.

It was different from the soldier, its eyes glowed and it felt like the skeleton was filled with life.

[Skeleton Commander]

[Level: 20]

[HP: 300/300]

“We aren’t going to survive this, I’m very sure of that,” Max said.

“That’s probably why the alchemist was ready to give you 1000 coins per leave, with the amount we gathered so far, we would get 40,000 blue coins if we all survive,” Gabriel said.

“If we die here, we won’t die in real life right?” Rebecca asked.

“No, and before I die I have something to ask you… Rebecca where do you stay so we meet in real life” Gabriel said.

“This isn’t the time to ask that, we should be planning on how to survive and make it out of here, I’m already at level 12…I won’t be kicked five levels backward” Alex spoke.

“Humans…” the skeleton said with an eerie voice that sent chills down their spine.

“It talks…”

“You invaded our private space and try to steal plants that we worked so hard to keep alive” the skeleton spoke.

“The moonlight plant…” Alex mumbled.

“We are very sorry, if we return the plants, would you let us leave?” Rebecca shouted.

“You are all dying here insolent humans…” another eerie voice spoke, one of the skeleton soldiers had the ability to speak.

Immediately the skeleton soldier that spoke dropped his weapon and shield, its body began to transform into something else and a blue light covered it.

[Skeleton Mage]

[Level: 20]

“He’s the mage,” Max said as they looked at the skeleton.

He was different from the others, his structure was different and he had equipment on his body and marking on his body, his eyes were also glowing like that of the commander.

He held an item in his hands that radiates Mana that even Max and Alex could feel it, even though they were not mages.

“We are not going to survive this,” Max said again.

“At least we are all above level 5, if we die we can try again when we are stronger,” Gabriel said.

“You guys are taking this lightly, if you die then we would be newbies again, and half of our equipment and coins would be lost,” Alex said.

“I’m not up to level 5, what would happen if I die?” Rebecca asked.

pαпdα`noνɐ1`сoМ “You are going to lose your account, you would need to buy another helmet to play again,” Gabriel told her.

“Then I’m going to buy the diamond quality this time,” Rebecca said.

“I almost forgot, where do you stay? we can come visit you” Gabriel asked.

“Really…I stay at stardom hotel…my dad didn’t want me to live in any of the houses and that is the only good hotel close to the school” Rebecca said.

“What!! you stay at stardom hotel…that is a five-star hotel, we won’t even be allowed inside” Gabriel said.

“Really…them tell them you are here to see Rebecca Star”

“You are Rebecca star…only daughter of Henry star, owner of stardom hotels and other large businesses all around the world”

“Yes,” Rebecca said.

“These puny humans are looking down on us” the skeleton mage gritted his teeth.

“We have to get the plants back from them, then we can kill them, the plants are too important to us,” the commander said.

“Then we can capture them and retrieve the plants first”

“Humans…are you prepared to die” the mage spoke.
