Chapter 52: Ross
Ross immediately took a defensive stance immediately he opened his eyes as he was in an unknown environment.
He seemed to have arrived in what seemed to be a graveyard as he saw slabs everywhere and no sign of life here.
He walked around, feeling suspicious of everything as something could come out of the ground.
He held tightly on the sabre sheath hanging on his waist ready to draw his weapon at a moments notice if he saw anything out of place
Strike first, ask questions later, that was his approach for now until he makes out wherever he is right now.
After walking for a while nothing seemed to happen, as he thought he would be attacked by now but nothing happened.
He walked up to a slab and casually kicked it, shattering it to pieces to see if he would get some sort of reaction, but got none at all.
After some time without anything happening, Ross unconsciously dropped his guard.
Immediately he did, two hand popped out of the ground and held on his ankles to pull him in.
Ross acted as soon as possible, coated himself with lightning and moved out of the way before he could be dragged down.
The ground quaked a little as hands made of bones started popping out of the ground one by one and appeared everywhere.
They all stood up looking at Ross with a small flicker of fire burning in their eye sockets.
Ross heard sounds of a horse from afar and turned his head in that direction.
There he saw a being sitting on a horse, covered in pitch black amour with flames seeping out of its helmet with a sword hanging on it’s waist and a cape flickering on it’s back as it rode the horse.
Behind the being on a horse was another, wearing a tattered robe and sitting on a throne made of bones which floated and moved on it’s own with a scythe sitting on it’s lap.
As they arrived, the being on the horse got down and walked to the other sitting on the throne and knelt on one knee with it’s sword sticking into the ground as a sign of loyalty.
Ross looked at these two as they made an entrance like this was a ceremony or something.
Both beings were Death knight and a Lich.
“Let the game begin” said the Lich on the throne in a bored voice.
As the words dropped, all skeletons started running towards him from all sides.
Ross squinted his eyes, then raised his hands sideways which were covered in thick lightning and punched out in both directions.
***Booomm***Crackle**
Lightning bolts destroyed the entire graveyard and skeletons before they could even reach him and make an attack, charring them to crisp.
Ross wasn’t a fool, with the way they arrived and made an entrance, clearly this wasn’t the skeleton first rodeo.
The small skeletons from the ground were simply cannon fodder for him to fight and entertain the Lich and to slowly deplete his stamina even if it won’t be much.
That’s why Ross decided to flatten everything as he won’t be performing anything for anyone today.
Ross moved with high speed and took the skulls of the cannon fodders.
He then turned to the Lich and said
“If you really want a show or concert you should pay for it you know”
If the Lich could display facial expressions, it would definitely be shocked, as others (the students) usually fight his minions then run away using their ‘life ball’ to escape.
Even if the students survived after fighting it’s minions, they still remain tired, with little to no stamina left or even much mana remaining.
After exchanging blows with him and see they can’t win, they just teleport with their ‘life ball’
This was why it was bored and only watched the students as shows, as they would run away eventually.
Even if he could kill them before they could activate the ‘life ball’, they could still mysteriously teleport away.
“Death knight, you take this one” said the Lich with bright eyes this time, ready to see what Ross held in place for it to see this time around.
The Death knight walked with a sense of responsibility, radiating an intimidating aura.
But alas it was still another monster at the A rank no matter how it carried itself.
Ross wanted to cross swords with it, but he just gave up on the thought of wasting time while others gathered points.
He shook his head and arrived infront of the death knight, placing his hand on it’s shoulder and ran thick lightning throughout it’s body.
The Death knight which was pure black and gave off aura of death glowed white for a few seconds before the bright light calmed down showing the death knight has been reduced to nothing, not even the bones were spared as only the skull that was still releasing faint aura was remain, as Ross left that aside so he could take it back for points.
Ross looked at the Lich and said
