Even with such a scene, the other skeletons didn't have any fear and they still rushed forward without any fear of death.
Seeing this, Asher stomped the ground with his right foot and rushed at a speed that was even more difficult for the death warrior to notice.
Asher's class is a mage, but at this moment, he has only learned a transformation spell. So, he could only use his strong physical body to attack these skeletons.
Although Asher was a bit regretful that he didn't choose the magic arrow spell, but thinking that it requires MP and can only be used for limited times at the moment, he wasn't much entangled.
In this petite form, he can have an agile body and in a fight speed is an important factor in addition to attack power. His attack power is already high, and along with high speed, Asher can easily crush tens of skeletons in an instant.
[Ding! You have killed a Tier-1 ordinary skeleton and gained 5 gold coins.]
[Ding! You have killed a Tier-1 ordinary skeleton and gained 5 gold coins.]
[…]
Wherever Asher strode forward, the skeletons didn't even have a chance to react and they were crushed to death.
If someone sees it, they wouldn't dare to believe that such a petite body was crushing tens of skeletons with a flick of his body.
This is not called fighting, but one-sided slaughter. Although, there is no thrill of fighting, but the pleasurable prompt of earning 5 gold coins was overwhelming.
Only now did Asher know how high the attack and defense power of this overlord body represented in a real battle. Even if both of them are of undead race, but these low-level undead skeletons were not at the same level as him, an overlord.
On the other side, the death warrior was also fighting in a full swing and from time to time, you could hear the sounds of bones crushing.
However, suddenly the atmosphere in the graveyard turned a little more gloomy and a dangerous aura appeared in the arena.
The aura was not weaker than him and it was even a little more stronger.
Next second… suddenly a dark red fireball rode towards the death warrior and with a 'Boom' the area was scorched into burning flames.
Although the death warrior swiftly avoided the incoming fireball, but the skeleton that it was fighting was all burned down to black dust.
Just a look at it, Asher can tell that if it had touched the death warrior then it would have also disappeared in the engulfing flames.
"Elite Monster?"
Asher looked over and knew that an aura that can compare to or even surpass him can only be an Elite monster with a full set of elite skills.
This is a different kind of undead skeleton, wearing a tattered robe while holding a long staff.
…
[Skeleton Mage]: Tier-1 Elite monster – Lowest ranked in the hierarchy of the Elder Lich-type undead race. Although they are weak in physical attack, but they are proficient in low-level magic attacks.
Abilities: Fireball (Tier-0), Consecutive Fireball (Tier-1), Lower Shield (Tier-0)
…
The skeleton mage was chanting its attack and with his magic power, it will pose a big threat to the death warrior.
Asher used his high agility and immediately rushed to the front. His petite body immediately rushed with 20 agility and along with 40 attack power his fist instantly break through the shield, intercepting the skeleton mage's waist.
Although the Skeleton Mage was high in attack power, but it had low defense and was no match for Asher's physical attack.
Boom!
His fist passed through the skeleton mage's bones and Asher was already behind its shattering body.
[Ding! You have killed a Tier-1 Elite skeleton mage and gained 50 gold coins.]
[Ding! You have conquered the Malevolent Garden and obtained a Dark iron treasure chest.]
A large rusted treasure chest appeared in Asher's hands. In this game, players can get random treasures from the treasure chests.
There are generally two ways to obtain a treasure chest.
One is to explore the area and find the treasure chest on your own, which will mainly depend on the player's luck, whereas another way to obtain a treasure chest is to conquer an area or dungeon.
This treasure chest is obtained by conquering this Malevolent Garden.
"Open the treasure chest."
[Ding! You have opened the Dark iron treasure chest.]
[Ding! You have obtained 200 gold coins and a Tier-1 spell: Summon Undead 1st!]
…
[Summon Undead 1st]: A Tier-1 spell that allows the user to summon any kind of skeletons such as animals or humans using gold coins as a medium.
[Requirements]: 300 Gold Coins to Learn
…
This is good stuff. In the early stage, along with the innate abilities that the players had to unlock, they can also learn other spells.
Every extra skill or spell is of high value in the early stage. Although it costs gold coins to learn, it is cheaper than unlocking racial abilities.
Even if this spell only summons those walking-bones skeletons, it doesn't mean that this is useless. If there is a large number of these skeletons, then they can be useful battle troops.
In this battle of Malevolent Garden, Asher got 150 gold coins from skeletons and 50 gold coins from the skeleton mage.
At this early stage, gold is a very precious thing and, with these 200 gold coins, he can summon 40 undead workers or 4 combatants.
If it was another player, then with such a big harvest, they could be satisfied and go to rest in the base.
But… Asher didn't leave, because according to the information about this Malevolent Garden, there should be another extra hidden treasure.
After some exploration, Asher successfully found a basement leading to an underground space. The basement was filled with vials and jars along with a mess of many books.
The potions in the vials were all rotten for a long time, but the books were well preserved. Although they weren't any special magic books, they can be used to gain more knowledge which will be of great help in future strategic development.
Soon, Asher finally found a hidden treasure chest.
[Tier-2 Summoner's Treasure Chest]: Contains the heritage of the Tier-2 summoner.
Found it!
This is what Asher was looking for, and after opening it, he saw an incredible stack of gold bars. In addition to gold, there are different types of coins and various gems.
"Big harvest!"
This is literally a great harvest.
Even in this new world, gold and gems are the main material sources to summon other creatures. And a Tier-2 summoner's legacy is not a small amount for Asher at this stage.
[Ding! Obtained Tier-1 Undead Core x 1, Tier-1 Earth Gem x 1, Tier-1 Magic Stone x 1…]
Along with summoning, gems are also valuable for forging and construction.
[Ding! Physical Gold bars are discovered. Do you want to convert it to gold coins?]
"Yes"
[Ding! Gold Conversion is successful! Gold coins: 1200]
The shiny gold bars disappeared with a dazzling light and it was converted into a skyrocketing amount of gold coins, a full set of 1200 gold coins in one fell swoop.
Awesome!
Asher continued to explore further down the basement and after a long time of exploring, he also found a few precious gems and other materials.
After the hard work of a few hours, he returned to the altar where the fifteen undead heroes were working like crazy slaves.
