"These are the skills you will inherit. Defeat them to be yours....." he said in a cold voice then walked back towards the guardian. His presence was slowly blocked by his summons.
The enemies then went ready to attack him anytime and Xin gulped a handful of saliva. He didn't know that enemies were this many. It was too much! All he could do was persevere until the end.
The summon pointed his fingers at him and commanded him to attack. Rein then made his stance as he prepared for an all-out brawl.
The Skeleton warrior attacked and he dueled it. He drew his longsword and their weapons clashed.
Ting!
Xin knee-kicked him and struck him on the chest. He elbowed the skeleton on the helm and then evaded the diagonal slash of the enemy. Further slashing it in the chest with a rising slash.
The skeleton archer fired at him and Xin stepped back and shielded using the skeleton warrior. Making it struck with the arrows.
The Skeleton knight then attacked covered from head to toe with armor and a shield and a sword. Xin dashed towards him and leaped towards it. Knee kicking the shield which made it flung. Xin then grabbed the shield and then shielded the attacks of the skeleton mage and marksman.
He dashed towards them and slashed their heads apart. Xin then felt them dispersed like a blue mist and they went towards the summoner.
The Skeleton Reaper then attacked and Xin deflected its blows. Parries were fast and he was able to deflect the slashes. Xiin immediately dashed and the enemy slashed. Evading the slash with a duck and then grabbing its face. Summoning his strength, he slammed its head toward the ground as if it was light. Its skull cracked into smithereens; ending its life afterward.
Xin was slashed by the Skeleton knight and the Skeleton warrior in a combo. Xin backflipped and then landed further away. Evading their slash on the process. He dashed towards them and then made a sweep. Taking them down and leaping with a drop kick on their heads. Their skulls were then smashed even with their helms.
It was then, a Skeleton assassin attacked him with daggers in both hands. Rein threw a dagger toward him as a distraction then he slashed with a vertical slash. Made the enemy block with a half-second late block and his body was slashed in half. A critical strike from Xin.
Immediately, a Skeleton exploder attacked and Xin threw a combo of one two three throws at it from left and right hands. Making it explode immediately.
The Skeleton general attacked and Xin danced with him. Their blows were fast and Xin was panting. Swiping sweat then attacked again.
The enemy slashed with his sword and Xin parried his strikes. Making him use his sword to parry with great accuracy and his enemy's sword has flung. Landing on the floor with a metallic clunking sound. Xin then made a taken down and then dropped-kick his head.
Xin then saw the Bone golem that moved and he attacked it. Rumbling the ground as it steps towards Xin. He then attacked with his sword and the enemy grabbed an axe along the way. It slashed Xin and he rolled to the side. Leaping towards it then slashed with a vertical slash.
The enemy blocked with the pole of his axe and pushed Xin away. He immediately dashed again and then ducked and slid. Slashing the Achilles heel of the enemy. Making it drop to its knees. Xin slashed and slashed the enemy to chip off its health. The enemy retaliated but it was hopeless toward Xin then slashed the head off and the enemy was down immediately.
Upon defeating the enemy, the Bone spike feral golem attacked and it was fast! It has a bone golem body but has spikes all over its body. Has a tail of bones and was on its fours. Claws were long and were used to attack. Xin was left perturbed. He immediately dashed to the side and the enemy nearly ripped his cloak.
He slashed the enemy and the enemy retaliated. His eyes were crimson red and flashed at him. Xin focused and attacked with more extra care. Though he needed to act fast to counter the enemy.
Xin then was clawed aiming at his neck. He evaded in hair's breadth but his cheeks were scraped a bit. Making him bite his lower lips in the process. With it, he slashed with his sword in a flicker and its neck was slashed.
Its body was full of bones but it has fleshy parts without being covered by them. Making him attack his joints and other fleshy parts. He slashed and slashed with each counter and then the enemy's joints were cut. The enemy then wailed slowly as it was laying down on the floor. Xin grabbed his longsword with his two hands and aimed at its head. Stabbing it in the process and twisting it up.
It was then, Xin drew the sword and saw the bone dragon ahead. He sighed a long breath as if he was an arrow on his last flight.
He then grabbed his sword tighter and then ran towards the dragon.
"Very well, good job. You passed!" shouted the summoned.
"Huh? But!" Xin muttered in great confusion. Making him stop halfway on his path to death.
"Shush! shush! You will die if you will attack the remaining summons. Do not be a fool, anyways, you passed. You should be glad," the summons then vanished as well as their summoner. Only the Guardian was left and Xin.
'Damn it!' Xin inwardly cursed. He thought he was strong enough to beat them but he was not. Making him pity himself a bit. He realized that the world was full of strong entities and he was a weak person now.
Xin then dropped his sword in great exhaustion and then went on his knees as he was panting. The Guardian then went walking towards him, "Stand up,"
Xin then responded with a jolt then stood up.
"The burden of humanity is now in your hands. I will make sure you are worthy before you will take them. These skills were made with great care and research,"
"As you wish," Xin replied.
"This is my Skill Book," a skill book appeared with a skull on its cover. It was radiating with an aura that made Xin shudder, "Treat it well,"
"I will tell you beforehand. You are now my inheritor and you will discover each skill one by one as you grow stronger."
He immediately went inside his soul realm and Xin was shocked that he went inside even without his skill Soul abyss being activated.
Xin went to exit the place and the door closed with a thud.
Xin would have to learn the skill books one by one and they would be given to him slowly as he grows stronger.
