He started to pull the monster in the hall one by one. With Auron high leveled skill and his footwork, he easily defeated the monster. He arrived at the entrance to the room. It took 5 minutes for him to clear the monster in the hallway.

He opened and entered the room. Upon entering, He could see a bookshelf neatly arranged along the wall of the room. There was a window on the left of the room. One could see the outside through the window. In the middle of the room, there was a desk and a chair. He could also saw a big painting of a man hanging on the wall across him. The man in the painting exuded a noble aura. This man was Noble Rick painting when he was still young and this room was Rick's study room.

In his life, he would used this room to study and worked. He would arranged all his business strategy here and directed all of his subordinates from here. There were many book when he was still alive, however, right now, there were only few book left here. Moreover, the book was in a very bad condition. Although you could hold and opened the book, you could not decipher the content of the book since the words almost gone. There were even a torn page and page with dried blood on it.

Although the room was not very large, however, it could hold 40 people with all the furniture inside. When entering the room Auron could see a bunch of undead monster on it. There were 5 skeleton guards, 3 skeleton archers, 4 ghoul, and 5 skeleton.

The monster inside sensed Auron's presence. They immediately turn facing the door. When they saw a human, they started to roar and attacked the human. The skeleton guards leading the mob attacking Auron, with skeleton behind them and ghoul at the rear since ghoul had the slowest speed. The skeleton archers also started held their bow and took aim toward Auron.

Seeing the monster's reaction, Auron didn't stay silent. He activated his [Weapon's Aura] and slashed horizontally to the incoming skeleton guards. A wind blade coming out of his weapon and flying toward the skeleton guards.

-432. -498. -523. -482. -398. All the skeleton guards in the front took some damage from the wind blade. This was one of the swordsman's skill they could learned after they learned [Weapon's Aura].

This skill was named, [Wind Slash]. It could only damage the enemy in front of the user. Although this skill could be considered as an area skill, however, the area covered by this skill was only the front of the user. Also, the wind blade was not large enough to cover the side. However, this skill could make the enemy's halt their movement for a seconds if the enemy took the damage from the front.

This was what happened to the skeleton guards. Since, they were the one took the initiative to charge towards Auron, they could not dodged the [Wind Slash] and took the full damage from the front which stopped their movement for a second. In battle, a second could turn the tide of the battle. As an expert, Auron didn't miss the opportunity, he side stepped to the right and used [Charge] toward the skeleton archers at the back.

A ranged monster usually had fewer health that the melee monster. However, because they could attacked from far away, this made them very annoying, especially if there was another monster tanking for them. This was what made Auron aiming to eliminate the skeleton archers first.

With the sudden increase in movement, Auron arrived at the nearest skeleton archers. The skeleton archers had just shot their arrows toward Auron's previous spot which resulted in a big miss. Because they just shot their arrows, the nearest skeleton archer to Auron didn't have enough time to reload his arrows.

While damaging the skeleton archer, the others monster had come closed enough to Auron. Auron directly used his wide area skill. A bunch of red text floated above the monster. However, the monster not affected by the damage, the nearby ghoul started to launched their attack toward Auron.
