The Evolving Stealth System Chapter 6: Skeleton Summon

"What! You tell me this now? Fine, but what do ES points do...?"

[Ding! Evolving Stealth points are there for host to level up abilities, learn skills, upgrade body parts, and create items using system generated energy to forge the items...]

[Ding!]

[So, just to confirm, host would like to purchase the low-grade binding skeleton charm for 20 ES points?]

"Yes, just quickly make it happen!..." This time, he didn't question the system as much, but he had a tendency to do that even in royal hill capital training center, for undercover cultivators, so yes he wasn't the most usual spy to have taken on this mission.

At this time, the system paused, and luckily a charm appeared in the air causing the phoenix bone soldier's struggle to end under a bright glowing light connecting the skeletons.

[Ding! System is now activating charm to bind the phoenix bone soldier currently in your hand... Host may be surprised by a sudden pang of pain, but it's only for a brief moment...]

Duncan kept running as the bone soldiers chased after him, and above him there was a few skeleton bats curiously looking over the vast wasteland of the Monte Verne Islands down below.

Suddenly, these bats who looked on condescendingly at the scuffle, saw something like a sun appear.

What was this sun, and it really hurt!

It caused the frost bone skeletons in the area to be tossed and thrown back by a gigantic explosion....

They must have traveled 200 meters backwards, and at the center of the explosion the ball rose towards the sky.

This was a powerful charm as was any bonding charm, so lightning naturally appeared around the glowing ball of light.

Inside that ball, Duncan was screaming comparing this current feeling to dying.

It was so much WORSE!

OWWWW!

He was in so much pain, and the other skeleton was going "MEEHHEEHHH! MEEHEEEHHHEEHHH!" wondering what was happening to it.

It just wanted to sit down to rest for a second, just a moment ago after the battle, and now it felt then felt this wonderful feeling spread through its body as the skeleton next to it suffered...

He felt a weird sensation in his heart, so much so that he felt bad for that skeleton...

Was this the purpose of the charm? No, no it wasn't... Because it was a low-grade charm, there was no guarantee it would even work without causing unbearable amounts pain, and so Duncan screamed with agony...

For a few minutes he was screaming, and the frost bone soldiers got bored...

The skeleton bats above also left, and began to watch more interesting battles. On the other hand, a few frost bone soldiers stayed behind wedged in the ground trying to get out... The explosion earlier caused them to get stuck, but they were going to be put to a good use soon!

"Aaaaaahhhhh!" If Duncan could scream with his mouth, that's what how he would of screamed.

It was so unbearable, and over after a terribly long time...

He could only plop down onto the floor as the other skeleton held out its good hand...

Duncan looked up at it, and then was tugged upward before the phoenix bone skeleton disappeared...

[Ding! Congratulations! Host has completed the mission, Rescue the Phoenix from Falling!]

[Ding! Host has received 5 ES points, one steel torso bone (uncommon), and 80 experience!]

[Host has unlocked new skill, summon phoenix skeleton (level 4)... Cool down: 5 minutes]

[Summon Phoenix Skeleton will summon the Phoenix Bone Soldier, and it will fight with you on the battle field until it dies in combat... It is a rare skill, so it will show up in user interface with a purple color, and will remain on field until recalled by host or killed by an enemy.]

[Ding! Phoenix bone skeleton can also be recalled by deactivating the summon, but currently host is reminded he is still in dangerous battle ground!]

[It is recommended that host go to waypoint as soon as possible to complete his main mission as HQ is the one that provided this mission to the host...]

The head quarters the system was referring to was on planet Everton Mega Loren in the center of a hidden galaxy. This was one of the hardest galaxies for the demons to reach, but soon it would probably be swallowed by one of the galactic devil kings...

Unfortunately, Duncan was their only hope, and also their most logical choice, but rather then thinking about that he got up and noticed a row of skeletons stuck in the ground...

They were struggling to get out, and he also found a steel torso bone on the ground. It made perfect sense to use this as a weapon before equipping it, and he began walking towards the frost bone soldiers with a gigantic grin showing his gold tooth.

[Ding! Host has killed a defenseless enemy, frost bone soldier, and acquired +60 experience]

[Ding! Host has killed a defenseless enemy, frost bone soldier, and acquired +60 experience.]

[Ding! Frost Bone Soldier has dropped level 5 uncommon knee bone set! Bone Power is at 12 / 50...]

These items were in red, and Duncan gladly put them on as he bashed more and more frost bone soldiers... It was quite fitting that after suffering so much pain there would be a reward. So, he felt quite content reaching level 6, and finally became curious about how far he was from his original mission...

"System... how far am I from the center of Monte Vernon island?"

[Ding! Host is now 1255 miles away from chosen destination... However, with new maximum running speed of 46 miles an hour, host will arrive in approximately 31 hours...]
