I used my trusted skill to waste some time of the boss to assign my unassigned points, which became the greatest mistake ever.

[Undead Summon] {-64 MP}

As the two skeletons appeared before me to stall some time with the boss, instead of attacking the summons, the boss stopped in its movement and started glaring at the two-summons standing before him.

Taking this opportunity, thinking that maybe the was deciding which to attack, I pulled out my status screen to the points. I about to use them on AGL and INT to increase my mana bar and also increase the attack power of my spell skills.

But what happened made my hands stop at the moment when I was about to distribute them. A huge amount of mana was released from the Skeleton who was now shouting at the top of his lungs.

"Rahhhhhhhhhhhhh~~~~~. You vile creature of death, I will end you and your filthy master." the Skeleton said. I was shocked as because the power emanating from him was not of a low-level Tier 0 being but of a Mid-tier.

And the indications were true. The new notification shown in front of me made my feet shake a little as the skeleton was getting stronger.

[Detected the Boss Stormblade Skeleton Knight is enraged due to some unknown. The power of the Boss unit is being raised. Lv.27 --> Lv.29]

[Host is recommended to run; the boss is out of your reach now.]

At that moment, I knew I f*ck*d up.

My hands didn't falter, and I distributed the points a way to save my life, which was easy to understand.

As the assignment concluded, I could feel my body becoming lighter and my leg muscles gaining strength as my speed increased due to the significant amount of stats assigned to my agility.

"I swear that I will plunder all of the stats you hold dear for this work of mine. I swear on my stats," shouted glaring at him as he stood there looking at with murderous hatred.

"Oh, you vile creatures of death, and your corrupted master, are doomed to fall under my hands right now." The hazy voice of the skeleton echoed as I struggled to understand how a low-level Tier 0 monster could speak like that.

"Oi, but aren't you also a skeleton?" I said, pointing my sword at him for calling my summon a vile creature. I would show him his place for sure.

"Now, oh deceased steed of mine, rise from the to serve me again and slay those who tried to kill our," he said, looking at the bones of a monster lying on the ground a short distance away.

"Oi, am I not talking you, or do you think yourself too high to talk some random bones but not me?" Just as I said that, before I could shout at him more, the bones on the ground began shaking and magically started assembling into something. Only after the full assembly did I realize what it was.

A horse steed, with a green flash of light in its eyes and a loud roar, emerged without a vocal organ. Shadows climbed its legs, covering it entirely before it was ripped apart, revealing a dark layer of skin on its bones in various places and even hairs on its back.

The saddle was black as the horse read to serve its master and rushed toward him with such speed that it became a blur.

"Oh no, this horse will become his advantage in mobility. I can't let this happen," I said, realizing that if they joined forces, I would be doomed.

[Bone Fang Strike] {-11 MP}

"I won't this happen," I declared as I shot the fang of bone towards it. Just as it was about to hit him, the skeleton's sword intercepted destroying my attack in the process.

Now, the horse and its master were together, ready to worsen situation.

A new notification appeared before me.

[The stead of the boss is being summoned with the skill of the boss, Zephoros, the Phantom Gale is taking steps onto the dungeon.]

[Zephoros, the Phantom Gale (Lv.19). HP (100%/100%)]

The boss was now completely overpowering me in every way.

"It looks like my death is approaching," I said preparing to face the boss, which seemed an impossible feat without some miracle.

"Behold the power of our companionship," the boss shouted as he rushed towards Evan.

The sword was coming straight towards my head, about to slice through when...
