I quickly moved forwards, kicking one of the skeletons in front of me. It looked to be a human skeleton based on its size and anatomy. I easily kicked its legs which broke instantly, making it fall into the floor.

BAAAM!

The skeleton quickly attempted to attack me with the rusty sword it held from the floor, but the impact of falling into the cold floor broke its arms as well, and it was trying hopelessly.

CLASH!

I crushed its head with my own foot as if it were a pathetic vermin, it easily died in an instant, as I saw a small soul suddenly fly away out of the skeleton, being guided elsewhere…

"See? They're not so hard to deal with!" I said. "However, it would be better if we narrow it done so they don't flood us from everywhere, they might be weak, but their numbers are too many, and were caught off guard in the middle of a stretchy corridor. Earth Wall!"

"Earth Wall!" Elenora quickly understood what I wanted to do, as we both conjured Earth Wall several times, forming a barricade surrounding our group. There was an entrance, so the Undead wouldn't panic and try to do something like destroying them, but the entrance was narrow enough, only letting them walk inside our area one by one.

Dividing our group into two groups that took care of left and right, we immediately began smacking Undead. Skeleton were the fastest so they flooded us firsts. After seeing how I taught them to fight, everyone began hitting their legs and then crushing their skulls after they fell, like this, piles and piles of bones piled up around us, as the skeletons were left completely helpless.

They seemed to be weaker than Imps based in their stupid and predictable movements. Anyone with some battle experience would be able to defeat Skeletons even with their weapons. But if this army of undead flooded our village, the entire village would be completely destroyed in a single night.

"Now, charge! Aim at the legs!"

Erika lead her Dolls as she had managed to resummon her thirty dolls after most of them died when we fought the previous group of monsters. This time she turned most of them into Spearmen wielding long spears. Using their ability to levitate and easily fly around, the dolls she invoked began to pierce the skeletons and zombies' legs, destroying them and making them all fall one after the other in a line.

"HYAAA!"

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

And by using her big sword, she crushed them one by one as if she were playing around. Although her face seemed very serious about the whole ordeal.

"OOOOHHHH…"

As the skeletons became rarer, zombies and thralls started to slide inside our "room". Zombies were harder to kill than skeletons, surprisingly, as the flesh covering their bones mitigated strong blunt hits. However, they were still frail and their flesh was rotting, so it wasn't so hard to get rid of them. Particularly, burning them into ashes was a good way to kill them. Chris' flames were especially useful as they were spiritual flames, they didn't generated smoke or anything of the sort, so we didn't asphyxiated in the underground by getting everything with smoke.

"Burn! Burn all of you!"

Chris was rather stressed, he seemed to hate how disgusting Undead looked, so he was panicking while firing fireballs and flares at the Undead, especially through the small area where they were able to enter, burning them all from behind.

"Blazing Fox Charge!"

"GROOARRR!"

His Fire Fox suddenly absorbed his Mana and turned five times as big, charging towards the Undead and devastating them all. Chris was taking down them all. Their weakness to the Fire Element was particularly useful right now as Chris was gaining the spotlight.

Well, I wasn't going to remain a sitting duck either. I had lost several Familiars in the previous battle, but I had decided to summon a lot more for this and rebuilt my bonus stats, maxing out MP and Intelligence. This meant I summoned a lot of Fire Salamanders.

With over twenty of them grouped together, it was a storm of flames being unleashed, the Undead were all taking the flames and burning easily, as if they were all made out of paper. This fire was similar to Chris, so it didn't particularly produced any black smoke, though the smell of burnt rotten meat was something we had to just deal with.

"GROOARRR!"

However, our fun quickly stopped when a large High-Ranked Undead emerged- no, three of them at once. Ignoring their own kin being burned to ashes, they marched forward, they were High Skeleton Knights, wearing Black Armor which protected them from the flames of my Familiars, and with phantasmal flames of their own covering their eyes like will-o-wisps. They carried large black swords and shields, and seemed completely capable of taking on our hits with ease, and they did.

"T-Those look strong…" Eric added.

"They are…" I said. "However, not as strong as the Lesser Basilisks, by far…"

FLASH!

Before the skeletons could slide through the corridor we formed, I used [Demonic Eyes of Gravity] and conjured a Gravity Field, stopping their movements and making them float in midair.

Completely confused about what was happening, I quickly ran towards them and used the Gravity Field to my advantage, easily allowing me to maneuver in the air. Infusing Mana and Ki into my spear, I pierced their chests and crushed the Spirit Orb I detected in each one of them, making quick work of them.

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

BAAAM!

Their motionless bodies fell over the floor one after the other almost comically.

"See? They were not that much." I said while I let my Fire Salamanders continue their massacre.

"Ah… It had to be Blake, isn't it?" Sighed Eric.

"That was insane…" Said Chris.

"Wait, Blake, look!" Erika suddenly panicked as she was slaying some zombies, as a gigantic hand suddenly broke through the Earth Walls and attempted to grab me.

CLAAASH!

"GRUOOOHHHHHH!"

"A Rotten Giant… so they finally made their way here."
