Malvoid looked at the place.

There were skeletons on the ground.

The walls were covered with luminescent crystal, 40 meters long and 20 meters wide.

Then in front of him he saw a child sitting on the ground. Beside her there were 3 rocks placed as a triangle that formed a blue transparent barrier. She was staring at the ground with emotionless eyes.

At that moment, Malvoid spoke,

"Are you OK?"

The little girl slowly lifted her head and stared at him, expressionless. Her eyes were cold as ice. As soon as he made a step, skeletons emerged from the ground with swords — only about 3 of them. They moved toward him. Malvoid severed them all.

Then he moved and other skeletons emerged with shields — 3 of them.

They ran toward him and attacked.

He dodged and cleaved a skeleton’s skull in two.

Malvoid threw a slash and it was blocked by a skeleton.

A successful block... Interesting.

At once his eyes shone red. Rapid slashes — the skeletons’ parts hit the ground. He moved again, and other skeletons emerged from the ground. They had armor and swords — 3 of them.

"Come and see your dad and take the morning tea," he said.

The skeletons jumped toward him. They were rapid, but Malvoid was as fast as light. He made a swing and severed them all.

He advanced again. Malvoid was 15 meters away from the girl. Malvoid shouted,

"I don’t know who you are, but I will save you from that prison."

He made a step and skeletons emerged. At that moment, the girl saw a skeleton fighting, clashing, slashing again and again. No stop.

It’s been a long time since I saw someone here... going this far.

A tear ran down her eye and hit the ground.

After that, Malvoid moved forward and a skeleton emerged from the ground. It was covered with darkness. It had a long black sword.

His hollow eyes shone red light.

The predators stared at each other.

[Warning: Your enemy is above your level]

The next second, Malvoid was thrown away and collided with the wall.

I’m thankful that he is not at the advanced tier.

He stood erect, and a piece of luminescent crystal hit the ground. His dark hollows shone red with intensity.

"I can’t lose to a skeleton."

He bent his neck.

The ground cracked.

He was near the skeleton.

The skeleton threw a slash.

He bent under the sword and threw a vertical slash.

The skeleton dodged with ease.

At that moment, he took a swordsman’s posture.

I need to recover my skin or level up.

[Recovery of skin: 30%]

The two attacked.

The two swords collided with a sharp clang. They slashed one after the other.

Their swords clashed, sparks flying with each strike.

Then, for a moment, the dark skeleton was dominating. Malvoid was slowly pushed backward, and he was only blocking the slashes.

This is bad.

Then Malvoid’s arm was cleaved.

[Your vitality has reduced by 10]

The skeleton raised its sword, inserted darkness into it, and threw a vertical slash. He blocked, but his sword bent. His other arm was cut off and removed.

At that moment, Malvoid tightened up. He jumped at it like a zombie and bit the skeleton’s skull.

Then he stood behind the skeleton and spoke to the little girl,

"How could a skeleton win over me?"

At that moment, the little girl cried out. But the skeleton covered with darkness wasn’t dead.

His skull was damaged.

He moved toward Malvoid.

Malvoid didn’t shake.

He didn’t move.

At the last moment, he dodged.

The black sword struck the barrier, and a blue energy struck the skeleton covered by darkness away like a stone.

The skeleton collided with the wall.

As soon as he was about to move, a mouth opened and approached his skull.

Malvoid devoured him entirely.

[+1100 Exp]

[A skill in the course of acquiring]

[Recovery of skin: 50%]

I don’t even have time to rest.

He looked at the barrier.

How can I break this without an arm... Let me try something.

He moved toward his arm and ate it all. He devoured all the bones he said.

"System, do something for my arm."

Then, after a minute:

[Converting stocked Experience to stored energy]

[-500 Exp]

His bony arm slowly regenerated. His bones strengthened. Then he picked up the black sword and stared at its blade.

Then the little girl said,

"What will you do with that sword?"

He moved toward her.

"To cut this barrier."

She then stood up rapidly.

"Can you really do that, Mr. Skeleton?"

Malvoid nodded. "Move away, I will make it split open."

Malvoid moved away, took a swordsman’s posture.

Mana radiated from him, his hollows shone with red light.

The sword became luminescent with red light.

Immediately he threw a strike.

The impact was so strong that the barrier bent a little.

I think I can do this with brute power.

But in a fraction of a second, a blue energy struck him 5 times stronger than before.

[Warning: Your vitality has dropped to 25%]

He was projected away, struck the wall, and the impact cracked all his bones.

[All your attributes have decreased by half]

He fell to the ground and his vision faded away. Meanwhile, the little girl shouted his name.

4 hours later, he woke up. His sword was clutched in his bony hand. He looked at the sword — its blade was still intact.

This is a good sword.

He stood up and saw the little girl was crying. He moved toward her.

"Sorry for what I made you endure."

The little girl wiped away her tears. Malvoid knew about this quest, but in the game he used brute force, destroyed the barrier, and exited her story. It was a quick play.

I didn’t imagine this to be as strong as this.

Then he moved toward the rock and struck it again and again. But at one moment, a blue luminescent energy struck him. He was thrown again and fainted.

4 hours later, Malvoid woke up and stood erect in despair. He moved toward her. Still, she was crying.

"I thought... you died this time."

Then he said,

"Sorry."

He sat down and crossed his legs.

"Explain to me your story."

She nodded.
