The three then went to the next destination and it was by far their greatest fight to look forward to. It was dangerous and more perilous than his past enemies. The sounds of the Brutes were already heard from where they stood at the cavern entrance.
Looking at it, Ren immediately prepared his spells. He could do melee and range by far and so, chose the most energy efficient and energy cost effective approach to the enemies.
The skeleton watched the front and was ready to attack anytime. He also has a sword in his hands and was gripping it with great grip. Roan on the contrary was watching the overall area of their defense. A most crucial thing to do and the most important one as he was securing their perimeters.
They looked at each other and then nodded as they agreed to proceed. Ren was still on his edge and could slash any enemies anytime when it happens.
He immediately prepared his wand and his bone armour spell. He still has to rely on wands as he was still a newbie and skills were given 50% cooldown freely with its skills embedded to it.
He has now bone armour and could be confident battling with a physical or magical damages. The thing was, it was still weak but he would prioritise some skill points to it later when he would be a full build of Warrior. Like a Dark Lord feared by many that could melee and range. Whether support or damage dealing, no problem.
Then immediately saw the enemies and then saw their numbers. Five of them were present and could be seen holding tree trunks. Some were only with their bare hands but still, their height were 9 feet tall and could smash the hell out of you like you were a tomato. They have huge clubs which were tree lumbers as weapons.
Their arms and shoulders were too broad and could be seen like an overgrown monster that has it's face covered by a mask as it was grotesque.
They roared after seeing them and were alerted. The Brutes then ran and they were slow in their movement speed. Though if they dash, they would use their arms to ran in four legged dash. If only in their two feet then they were slow. With their body proportion, their upper body was huge but their lower body were small. Hairy too and smelly.
They dashed and the skeleton ran for them with Ren's control. It dashed to one and slashed the feet. Rotating to another 4 and slashed their same joint which was the Achilles heel and then saw them kneel on the ground after his onslaught of attacks. A good enemy was the incapacitated enemy. Making him use Soul fire multiple times on them.
Roan then used flawless claw attacks on them and damaged the 4 fallen enemies. Making it a smooth sailing ship. Rick also helped him to cull them with his axe.
The skeleton then saw the Brute elite and it was faster than its peers. It could dashed like it's broad body was unseemly weightless. It could smash it's weapon like it was nothing. The skeleton was caught off guard and was smashed like a shattered bones. Making Ren bit his lips in annoyance. It was eliminated with just one of its smash.
Making him smirk like a villain.
Rick used the flames of elemental vines but it just irritated the freak. Making it got his agro and attention. Ren then used Soul fire but it's not even affected by flinch effect. The thing was, it has huge health points and could be a hard battle.
Ren summoned another skeleton to distract him and also used bone armour and wielded his sword. He together with his skeleton, danced like a duo to attack while facing the enemy head on.
They coordinated their attacks and slashed with determination. Ren hit him with ice effect and it was frozen for one second. Making the skeleton to leap on its head and stab it's shoulders with its dull weapon. Sadly, it was not enough for the enemy to get incapacitated.
Ren repeated his ice attacks but in a flicker, the skeleton was slammed to the ground and broken into multiple pieces of bones. Ren then was alarmed and it takes time to cast a summon skeleton to the corpse. Like a one second delay. But it was enough to get hit by a huge tree lumber that could be fatal to him. Not even his bone armour could save him and spare his life.
This time around, he instructed Rick and Roan to assist his attacks with damage dealing combat style. He frozen the enemy with ice then Rick for his elemental vines for damage dealing. Making the two to churn down its huge health points. Thanks to the Ice effect of the sword. Roan then e agilely attacked and assisted with his fast attacks.
Ren made another skeleton and gave it his short sword of the ice and then he focused on damage dealing. Same with Rick's position. The skeleton will distract it and ice the enemy then the two would use damaging spells on it. Making Ren to rest a bit.
Ren Soul fire in succession and it proved to be effective. Making the two to have faster lowering the health of the enemy.
They continued their attacks and felled the enemy. Making him pant and sighed. Rick immediately smacked his back.
"Woohoo!" Ren yelled inside the cave. Echoing in the process.
"We did it!" Roan also shouted.
Rick then smacked his shoulders. "I thought we'd die there!"
The three then felt the place was cleansed from evil. Making them to smile and did a high five.
"Well, haha, is that all?" Ren felt proud but deeply, he was taken aback.
The cave became purified by clearing it. It felt more calming when inside unlike before. Though they saw mutilated adventurers hanged on the walls. They could only pray for their deaths to be avenged and they rest in peace. Though after that, Ren heard a notification. Also Rick and Roan leveled up.
