n'I think I should take a gamble, even if it doesn't go well, I will die anyway when the timer runs out.'

n'From the way I look at them, they both seem kind of weak, I think I can take care of them easily, but it's better to be careful.'

nWith these thoughts, he threw an ordinary stone towards the skeletons guarding the cave and hid himself behind a boulder.

nThe Skeletons became alert. They looked at the stone and then at each other's faces.

nWith a nod, one skeleton ran towards the direction from which the stone came.

nAs soon as the skeleton, which was only two meters in height, came near the boulder, Ajax's fist landed with full-body force on its neck. He hit the part where only one single bone is connecting its head with the remaining body.

nIts head rolled on the sand, and soon, the skeleton's remains started disappearing, leaving behind an armour, a spear, and five spirit stones.

n'Ding,

nKilled one Undead Servant

nExperience gained:- Zero.

nNote:- As per the trial rules, any monsters killed in the trial will not give any experience.'

nAs usual, a holographic screen appeared with some words.

n

"So, this thing is called Undead Servant, then what level will that elite undead soldier be? Whatever, I will know when I meet one, right?

"Ajax gaze soon landed on the items left behind by the skeleton.

n

"Although this spear looks ugly, it's better to have something to attack.

" Ajax took the spear into his hand and thrusted it into the air.

n'It's not bad,' said Ajax silently to himself.

nThe spear was only one meter long, so he felt awkward to call it a spear when it was in his hands.

nHe left the armour on the ground only because it did not fit him.

nBut he took the spirit stones, which contained death energy in them. As usual, they soon disappeared from his hand, and the holographic screen showing his progress appeared in front of his eyes.

n'Ding,

nTask 1:-Collect 100 death energy spirit stones.

nProgress (52

/100)

nTask 2:-Save three elemental spirits.

nProgress (0

/3)

nTask 3:- Kill the Undead Elite Soldier.

nProgress (0

/1)

nRemaining time:- 8 hours 31 minutes.'

n

"48 more to go

", Ajax concluded excitedly.

nSeeing that its companion still did not return, the second skeleton moved in the same direction the stone came from, to check on his companion.

nHowever, it was always on its guard.

nAjax tried to attack it the same way he did with the previous skeleton, but who thought this new skeleton could dodge his fist.

nSoon the skeleton stood in a fight stance and looked at him.

nWithout waiting for its attack, Ajax rushed towards the skeleton with a spear in his hand and used his full body force in attacking it.

nThe skeleton stood at its place steadily and trusted its spear at Ajax.

nSeeing that, Ajax stopped in his tracks and took two steps back.

nHe threw the spear in his hands at the skeleton with his full force, which knocked the skeleton down. Before it could stand, Ajax punched its skull until it broke.

n'Ding,

nKilled one Undead Servant

nExperience gained:- Zero.

nNote:- As per the trial rules, any monsters killed in the trial will not give any experience.'

nSoon he got the notification from the system.

nAs usual, the skeleton started disappearing leaving behind the same items the previous

nskeleton left.

nThis time he only took the spirit stones. But the good thing was, he got seven spirit stones. Instead of the previous five.

nSoon he took the spear he threw earlier and went towards the cave.

n'Oh God in heavens, please bless me with good luck,' Ajax prayed in his heart and entered the cave.

nThe cave entrance looked like a tunnel that was 100 meters long.

nHe went into the entrance without making any noise.

nAs soon as he reached the end of the tunnel, he was shocked.

n
