Chapter 42 – Teacher-Student's Power

Fuu～. I've petrified all the skeleton archers along the wall into stone statues.

A large crowd of Skeleton Archers with each and every one of them facing toward us. It was somewhat a strange sight to behold.

[You did good, Fate. e, let's go inside]

I followed Aaron through the wrecked castle gate. The inside of the city was eerily quiet.

I thought that the skeleton knight would appear out of nowhere like before, but there was nothing so far.

Aaron soon called me out due to my overt wariness.

[They won't be able to sense our presence for a while since we have decimate all of the gate guardians. But we better hurry before large amounts of skeleton knights appear to make trouble with us. With Fate here, we can go straight to the castle through the main street without having to worry about Skeleton Archers. Can I entrust this task to you once more?]

[Yeah, of course you can]

[If that so, shall we?]

[Roger]

Hausen city's size was about half of the Royal Capital. How many skeleton knights and archers could fit into such a vast place? Just thinking about that sent chills running down my spine. Even with a proper party, it will take more than a week just to clean them all up.

As Aaron said, it would be harder for us to hurry to the castle if the skeletons swarmed us like ants clustering on sugar. We had killed over 100 skeletons, incurring huge amount of aggro in the process. Merely entering their field of vision would incite them to attack us as if we had murdered their parents.

[I will go ahead at full speed. Are you ready?]

[I'll watch the surrounding buildings]

[Cut down everything that blocks our way. Then, let's go!]

Me and Aaron sprinted to the utmost limit of our stats, down the main street.

Around 40 skeleton knights appeared up ahead, trying to block us out. Meanwhile, I could also hear noises of clanking bones from behind, making it clear that there were also several skeleton knights chasing after us.

The enemy was trying to flank us. Other than that, I could see skeleton archers above the marketplace along the main street. I see now. Once our movement stop, they will rain arrows upon us. Although they are only bones and no brain, they are still crafty nonetheless. Or at least more tactical than either goblins or kobolds.

Well, those tactics will only effective against normal warriors. Aaron bore the title of Sword Saint and was of the highest class among the Holy Knights. And I, am his disciple. There was no way something of this level will hinder us.

[Fate, don't get left behind. While I'm breaking through, focus on your own task. Don't even think about stopping]
