Defensive measures

[Mission: Light up the brazier]

[Reward: Safety of the camp]

Roan went into the midst of the camp and saw the Brazier that was not lit. Its embers were cold and rekindled ashes only greeted Roan upon his arrival. The brazier was not emitting any radiance as of now.

To light it up, Roan needed some firewood and he has no firewood at the moment. And so, he went to the forest with his torch to gather firewood.

The hoots of owls were heard and the crickets sang in their songs. Sticks were seen and were one by one gathered. Kent was with him and so he helped gather wood for the brazier.

The sticks were one by one gathered and they piled them on the side. It was a peaceful night at that time and no monsters attacked. The winds were not heavy and were just slightly whooshing on the tree leaves. Leaves crackle with every step they made and by far, no monsters lurking within the cover on the night.

Packing up, the firewood irked as they were lifted. Slightly making sounds as they readied to leave the spine-chilling forest.

They put the firewood to their backs and then went back. Roan then heard growling in the dark and it made them freak out a bit. It was the sound of scratches on the tree trunk and a low growl. Slowly following them as they moved. And so, they hastened their pace and the sound that was following them died down.

They arrived at the camp at last and their skin hairs that went up slightly went down a bit.

Entering the camp, they were greeted by the campers. Primarily the necromancers. They were coping up and eating near the campfire. Telling their fair share of stories while captivated.

They soon saw the brazier and then put the firewood on the side.

They soon put the firewood on the brazier. Arranged neatly for starting the fire. Roan soon grabbed the torch and then made a fire to the firewood. Lighting it up with their torch which was in the midst of the camp. Soon after, the brazier was activated.

Ding!

The brazier emitted a glow and it soon bathed the camp with a wave of pulse. Making the camp a bit safe for now.

[Mission: Set up defenses]

[Reward: Safety of camp from attackers]

Kerath then approached him and gave him another mission.

"I might be a bit shameless but we really need your help. The rotten undead are attacking nonstop and our necromancer guards were fatigued. We should let them rest while mitigating the defenses. By that, I request you to have another quest."

"Please install defenses in the camp so we have a better chance of survival. Install summon graveyard spells to skill obelisks. We must put them on the front where enemies were all attacking from."

"Bring the builder as he repairs the obelisks and defends him. The death of the builder is the end of your mission," Kerath said to him. Gave him the spell crystals and Roan put them inside his backpack.

"Okay, I will head there now," Roan said then left.

The builder then went to follow him and then Roan led the way. His necromancer companion Kent was with them and was following through.

They traveled outside the gates and the gates were shut with a thud. Looking ahead toward their destination. The moon shines brightly as they paved the way. Crickets were sounding all around the vicinity.

Roan, as well as the others, paved the road and saw dead bodies on the road. A rotten smell wafted their nose.

"These bodies have to be burned or they will become rotten undead. They can inflict corruption on their prey and it can only be cleansed by holy water," Roan said to them then clicked his tongue.

Roan, as well as the others then saw the obelisk of evil in the past and the builder started his job.

"I will repair the obelisk of evil. Please protect me while doing so," he said to them.

It was then, Rotten undead came to rise once more. They reeked of corruption and it could inflict them with its dreadful curse.

Roar!!!

The rotten then roared and they ran towards them.

"I will protect the builder, you go kill them," Roan commanded Kent.

The enemies then dashed towards them and Kent used [Ground bone spike].

Swoosh!

They were skewered and others were still running toward them. Others were not killed by the skill and they followed the ones that were heading to Kent.

[Bone javelin]

Kent summoned bones javelins and threw them to them. Making their heads or chests hit in the process. Others were dealt with while others survived.

Roan immediately used [Summon skeleton militia] and [Summon graveyard]. Right amid the builder.

"Protect him," Roan commanded.

Roan then used a Reaping slash toward them and one was hit in the process. Roan drew his dual short swords and then dashed towards them.

[Bone armor]

Bones appeared and covered Roan's body.

[Bone shield]

Bones were summoned and they all levitated as they protected him.

Roan then dashed and slashed a horizontal as he aimed to decapitate the enemies. Others were severed in their limbs as they went to claw Roan in the process. Roan then finished them off as he used [Exploding souls] and [Ghost march] on them.

The enemies were slowly damaged and they were killed after Roan dashed in zigzag. Decapitating them as he passed through.

Kent was amazed by Roan's prowess. He didn't know that he has such a master! All he could do was be in a daze for a moment. Still, he helped and did his best to be of use.

The enemies who were already dead became dead once more. Such life for monsters like them.

The builder then finished his repairs and then they installed the spell crystal. Putting it on top of the obelisk and Roan climbed down.

"Well, that's it! Finished repairing. Two more to go," The builder said to them as he wiped his sweat with the back of his hands.

Roan used the spell "Summon graveyard" on the spell crystal and it glowed with a bluish hue.

The spell immediately took effect and the ground glowed. Summoning random skeletons beneath the obelisk. Looking at it, Roan was well pleased to see that it was working.

Roan then went further ahead and saw another obelisk of evil that he destroyed in the past.

It was then, the builder started repairing it and the battle soon spewed forth right after they arrived.

Roan protected the builder this time and Kent was in the action. He slashed with his one-handed scythe and blocked with his bone shield. Skewering them with his [Ground bone spike] and then [Dark fog] was used. Enemies were blinded for a moment.

He then used [Bone javelin] and threw it at them.

[Exploding souls] were fired in intervals as he attacked in melee and switched to ranged.

The enemies were immediately decimated and Roan clapped his hands, "Well done, now we should be able to have our leisure time to rebuild this obelisk,"

The obelisk was finished with its repairs and they installed another spell crystal.

Charging the spell crystal, he used another Summon graveyard. Lighting it up in the process. The obelisk then glowed and it started summoning skeletons.

Roan then went to another obelisk and charged it up. He immediately made the spell crystal emit its glow.
