Chapter 2: Epilogue II Acquire a Skill
The calming peace was in every part of the forest. The birds were twitching along a beautiful melody, deers were jumping up and down in the wide fields, covered by any kind of flower.
Only one place was disturbing this peace, a small clearing in the northern part of the forest. Two figures were constantly clashing with one another, not letting the other side any time to take a breath.
„Why are none of my attacks working?"
I had tried any imaginable spot, but was not able to penetrate the skin of the beast. Something seemed to block all of my attacks. I had to find something to destroy this magical shield.
„System? Do you have anything I can use to help me?"
[ Do you wish to acquire the
Skill „Shield Penetration"? ]
( Can penetrate any magical or physical defense )
( Needs 40 Mana to activate )
[ Cost: 5 Skill Point ]
[ Remaining Skill Points: 5 ]
„Yes!"
This was the only chance to end this battle, as otherwise I wouldn't hold on much longer, the monster had already made me use up most of my stamina on avoiding his attacks and slashing back.
[ You have successfully acquired
the Skill „Defense Penetration"! ]
I jumped on a small rock, again avoiding getting hit by the huge claws. Now was my chance, the moment of victory or defeat!
"Use the skill!" I sprinted towards the monster, from the left to the right, trying to distract the huge beast.
Now than..
"Take this, you shit!"
I pointed my sword to his head and slashed at him. As expected, I could feel a slight resistance but after pressing harder, it just disappeared and my sword slid into the beast's neck. Green blood was flowing out, leaving drops on my sword and clothes.
I fell down, exhausted till the end.
"Finally! I won! Hahah!"
A message popped up, one I had been waiting for the entire time.
[ Hidden Quest completed! ]
[ You have defeated your foe! ]
[ Reward: ]
[ One Death Knight ]
[ 15 Skill Points ]
[ Fortress (Lvl 1) ]
[ Do you wish to summon the Death Knight? ]
[ Do you wish to place your fortress now? ]
I stared silently at the reward message, only some moments later, I read the other two notifications.
"Of course I want to summon the Knight now!"
What would happen if someone a lot stronger than me would appear, why wouldn't I use a life saving opportunity.
[ Summoning the Death Knight… ]
[ Portal appearing in .. 3 …. 2 .. 1 ]
A purple colored gate appeared infront of me. Another person, wearing a deep black armor, and holding a longsword in his right hand, was standing on the other side like a puppet.
„So your my first servant?"
„I am grateful for this opportunity! My Lord!"
He fell down on the dirty ground with his knees, bowing before me with the greatest respect a knight would give to his superior.
I was a little shocked as I didn't expect this, as no one had ever kneeled before me in my past life. As I was just a low waiter in a small restaurant near the beach. It was very full in the summer and I had to work a lot more than I was payed for.
"Stand up!" I waved my hand, signaling him to move.
[ The Death Knight <Unnamed> has pledged his Loyalty to Host ]
[ Do you wish to rename him? ]
"Sure why not." Although I wasn't the most creative person in naming stuff, I could still find a good name, right?
"Why don't I call you …"
