Chapter 100: Summon Skeleton Warriors
Leo waited for the Magic System to see if it would give him a special mission to clear the monster’s nest, but nothing appeared even a minute later.
‘So I get to decide whether I want to do this or not, huh?’
p ?? da n ?v el Lilith returned shortly after and said, “I just checked. Although I couldn’t see the whole place, I have a good estimate on the amount of monsters inside the monster’s nest. There are mostly globins inside the monster’s nest, but there are a few Berserker Boars as well. As for the estimate… There should be around 1,000 monsters in total.”
“A thousand monsters!” Instead of feeling fearful, Leo’s eyes flickered with excitement after hearing this number, almost as if he’d hit a jackpot.
“We’re going to clear this place, Nina!” Leo said to her a moment later.
“Alright. Give me a moment to prepare.” She nodded.
She then retrieved a weird-looking necklace and wore it around her neck before preparing several mana potions in advance.?? ? ?? n ? ???
“Is that an artifact?” Leo asked her.
“Indeed. It is the B-Grade artifact Necklace of the Dead. It will not only reduce the mana required to summon my servants, it will also increase the limit of my summons. As long as I have this, I will be able to summon 200 skeleton warriors and 20 skeleton mages at once.”
“That many?!” Leo was shocked. The B-Grade artifact had basically doubled her prowess.
Sometime later, Leo asked, “Do you have a plan?”
“No, not really. I was thinking that we should just attack them head on. However, we should focus on the Goblin Casters first. I will use my skeleton warriors to distract the Goblin Warriors and create a path to the Goblin Casters for you.”
Leo nodded, “I understand. But before we start recording, I want to try something.” p??da n?vel
“What?” Nina tilted her head.
Leo looked around to make sure there was nobody watching them before silently casting his skeleton warriors.
The next moment, 50 skeleton warriors appeared before them, shocking Nina.
“W-What is going on?! I didn’t summon these skeleton warriors!” Nina exclaimed, even preparing to attack them.
“Calm down, these are mine,” Leo quickly stopped her.
“What…? You summoned these skeleton warriors? When did you learn this spell?” ,c,om
“I kind of memorized it after seeing you use it so many times…” Leo said with a stiff smile on his face.
“You memorized my magic circle…?” Nina stared at him with her eyes as wide as saucers, her mouth wide open.
Although it is technically possible for one to learn another’s magic spell by looking at their magic circle, it isn’t very practical. In fact, it was impossible. After all, when one casts a magic spell, their magic circle would only show up for a brief moment. If it was possible to learn other peoples’ magic spells just by looking at their magic circle, everyone would be too afraid to use their magic spells in public.
“Are you angry that I learned your magic without asking for your permission? I’ll apologize if that’s the case.” Leo asked her after a moment of awkward silence.
Nina shook her head in a dazed manner, and she spoke in a low voice, “No… I’m not angry. I’m just astonished that you’d managed to achieve such a feat that most people deem to be impossible.”
“Summon Skeleton Warrior is a Tier 3 magic spell, yet you learned it in a few days after watching my magic circle. Words cannot express how impressive such a feat is…”
“I’m relieved to hear that, and since we’re at this point, I might as well tell you that I can also use Summon Skeleton Mages, but I can only summon five of them.”
“You can use Summon Skeleton Mages as well?!” Nina fell backwards after hearing his words, and she stared at Leo as though he was a monster.
“Anyways… Even though these are my summons, we’ll pretend that they’re yours. After all, it’s a secret that I can use magic, and you’re the only student in the academy that is aware of this secret.”
Nina nodded with a dazed look on her face.
Leo looked at his mana. He had a total of 17,000 mana at the moment, which was 6,000 more than a few weeks ago when he last purchased the Increase Mana Capacity from the Magic Shop. Of course, this was also the result of his training when he increased the multiple magic spells to Mastery Rank A.
[Mana: 12,025/17,180]
After summoning 50 skeleton warriors, his mana had decreased by 5,000 since each skeleton warrior required 100 mana to summon. Furthermore, he had to continuously feed these skeleton warriors his mana in order to keep them summoned, losing 20 mana every 10 seconds for each summoned skeleton.
In other words, he would lose 1,000 mana every 10 seconds to keep all 50 skeleton warriors summoned, but considering that he recovers 250 mana every 10 seconds, that would bring down his cost to 750 mana every 10 seconds, so he would only be able to keep his summons active for a little under three minutes, considering that he doesn’t use any mana potions and all of his skeleton warriors remain alive for the whole duration.
Nina turned to look at Leo’s summoned skeletons and swallowed nervously.
‘He’d just learned the magic spell, yet he can summon 50 of them at once, and they already seem stronger than my own skeleton warriors!’ Nina sighed inwardly.
She knew that he was a genius with dark magic and that he was far more talented than her since the beginning, but the disparity wasn’t clear until this moment.
“Are you ready?” Leo asked her a moment later.
“Yes, I am ready.” Nina nodded with a resolute expression on her face.
After Nina calmed down from her shock, she summoned 200 skeleton warriors, and along with Leo’s 50 skeleton warriors, they charged towards the monster’s nest, their movements causing the ground to tremble, quickly alerting the goblins there.
