Pushing their claws in the road, the skull-revealing wolves kicked the ground while baring their teeth at Danzel.

`Fast´

Seeing the speed of that beast, Danzel would have frowned if he could.

Taking a large step to the side, the largemouth of the skull wolve closed in like an instant, making a *clack* sound. One could compare it to the bite force of a snapping turtle, but much stronger.

Danzel managed to throw a swing at the side of the beast, leaving a large cut that had signs of decay taking place.

"It´s tough too...

" Danzel commented as he stared at the howling skulled wolf.

"Gweeeegh!

"

*Clack, Clack, Clack, Clack*

Staring at the one who inflicted such pain in him, the skull wolve together with the other two started opening and closing their mouths, creating a continuous sound with them.

Though their face revealed their skull, it was similar to the exoskeleton.

They weren't undead or something alike.

One would have noticed that by the pair of hateful eyes of the skull wolves.

As if they have finished their communication, all three stopped moving their mouth in an instant, while taking a similar stance that the one that just got injured.

"Gweeeegh!

"

"Gweeeegh!

"

"Gweeeegh!

"

`Since you failed alone, now you want to try with all three of you´ Danzel scoffed at the sight that those beasts displayed.

Opening their mouth wide to the point where the flesh around the mouth was starting to tear, all three of the skull wolves leaped at Danzel with their large mouths

"Alright, bring it on! I will make you realize your own weakness.

" Danzel declared as his mana surged out of his body.

One would say that Danzel was taking his current situation lightly or that he got arrogant through all the fights against powerhouses such as Hanson.

And in the past, where he first awaken in the cursed lake. Those ones may have been right.

But the current him was not.

As he knew his limits and capabilities.

Not waiting to be pincer attacked from all his sides, Danzel kicked the ground and dashed towards the wounded.

Making the two unwounded skull wolves chase after him.

"Gweeegh!

" But that wasn´t the case in the wounded one.

Seeing his prey running by his own free will towards his mouth, the wolf's eyes circled in moon shape, waiting for the free meal to come.

As it was about to close his mouth though, it felt an instance of the insane amount of pain before everything went black.

"Gwe-eggh...

"

It felt confused.

Scared of the endless darkness that was filling his vision with a much darker liquid.

It tried to close his mouth out of reflex, but once it did he felt something off.

As if...something was inside his mouth.

"As stupid as predictable...

" Danzel said as he was holding a spear with one of his hands.

Seeing the spear inside the skull wolves mouth which went out of the beast's skulls, the skull wolve could only shake and nothing else.

You received 20 000 XP

"Not bad.

"

Letting go of the spear that he pulled out of his storage ring, Danzel glanced at the other two closing in.

"In that Necronomicon that I read, I quite like one phrase that it had

"

Swinging his long sword to the air, the gathered mana from the blade was sent out, creating a sharp blade of wind towards one of the skull wolves that jumped at him.

Being in the air, the skull wolve had to fully withness his fate by his very two eyes.

That being him having the wind blade cut him from him in half.

"That, in pursuit of magic, doing the same over and over again, is the definition of insanity.

" Though in the context of the book, it meant it more than limiting yourself on the none taboo magic alone and not all magic, including necromancy. Is a sin on all those who pursue the path of magic.

At least that was the author's opinion.

Danzel, by a single exchange already knew how those beasts are fighting.

With their large mouths and muscular legs, their dashing power was really impressive.

Putting their biting force at that too, they were extremely dangerous.

They had both power and speed.

With apparently a tough body for his sword to not fully dig through their flesh.

But that´s all they had.

With them practically being built to leap and get a piece out of you, they were only so few ways for them to attack.

It didn´t take much to figure out.

If they were to run straight at you, why not hit them harder back instead or before they come close to you?

Well, it was easier said than done, as either a magic caster or one weapon with longer reach.

You received 23 000 XP

Witnessing the death of his kind, the skull solve didn't falter a bit once it was before Danzel.

Being in range and seeing that something was in his mouth, like a metal gate closing.

The largemouth closed at bit Danzel's whole left arm off.

Feeling the cold metal that it was used to eating from other explores that had armor, the skull wolve wanted to burst out laughing menacingly.

After two of his kind died against that prey, he finally had the chance to taste that delicious meat that they all so favor.

But while he was chewing, he notices something weird.

Isn't too bland?

Before it could realize what it was eating, a long sword was pushed to his head.

You received 25 000 XP

Huh?

*Baahm.

With his massive body falling to the ground, Danzel looked at the place where his left arm was supposed to be.

"Sigh...I should have even cast a stone wall or something. Now there goes my armor.

", Danzel said with regret.

Losing his arm didn't pain him at all, both figuratively and literally.

What pained his none existed heart was the loss of his armor left-hand part!

"If it weren't for that sand storm, I would still have the barrier from the Runes of Force. I guess luck isn't on my side.

" Shaking his regrets away, he stared at the dead body and raised his palm towards them.

'Reconstruct Undead'

With dead mana sipping out of his body, he went one by one of the corpses and repaired their skulls.

Though because the skill was still lv.1, it took him quite a while to finish all three that were much stronger than the average human.

"I guess that's good enough...

"

Putting the corpses in his storage ring, he thought for a second about what to do for his missing arm.

'Leaving it as is should be alright, but...' Danzel though.

He wasn't much fond to stare as his dead mana was coming out of his 'wound'.

"It should take a few days to recover with all the HP that I have.

"

Hiding his missing arm with a large cloak, he created his longsword back to his sheath while continuing exploring the place where he was.

In among the endless silence, Danzel caught a small sound through the distance.

*Tinnk~

"This sound is...

" Recognizing the sound all so well, he used High Jump to go to the roofs and follow the directions of the sounds.

And before long, he confirmed what those sounds were.

"Kaaaa!

"Brace yourselves! They are coming!

"

'Human...' Danzel thought as soon as he saw them.

They numbered in 5 people in total. At least that was now the case.

Starting around the place, he saw many fresh corpses with large bite marks.

And seeing the skulled wolves that he faced not a few minutes ago, was now making life difficult for those people, Danzel went inside a crumble-up building so that he can stalk them better.

Seeing the fight in that group, Danzel was secretly impressed.

Each of them played a role and each of them looked after their back.

Once their frontier that wielded a great sword missed his target or make a mistake, the other would try and think of a way to save the.

By watching their showcase in power, Danzel could vaguely guess that every one of them was on the lower side of the 3rd-tier.

And by what things looked like, those guys seemed to have the advantage of the situation.

One by one, the number of skilled wolves number dwindle slowly yet surely.

By now there were over 20 bodies of such wolves lying dead to the ground.

And the few that remained were 7 in total who were looking for an opportunity to strike their exhausted prey.

Those being the human party.

Although they looked exhausted, Danzel knew that they still had some juice left to finish the remaining skull wolves, if not only barely.

'Now..what should I do...

" Danzel thought as he looked at the fierce fight of the two parties from the window of the crumpled building.

"Those guys would surely make up for some good and fast XP since they would be tired and all, but...

" Danzel mumbled as he stared at his missing arm.

'Fighting them head one with my current situation sounds risky too.'

As he knew nothing of this enemy's, diving in now while missing an arm would be stupid.

Nonetheless, he couldn't guarantee that these skull heads would ignore him.

But, as if being struck by lighting.

A sinister idea came to his mind.

'Who said that I need to go myself there?'

Raising his hand to steak out of the buildings, Danzel grinned to himself.

"A guess a helping hand would be much appreciated.

"

Concentrating on his spell, the dead mana flew through the ground and entered the body of the dead skull wolves.

"Be made to serve~

"

As the group fighting for life noticed something dark entering the body of the dead.

They exclaimed in surprise.

"What!?

"

Standing up from their deaths, the newly formed undead received their very first command by their liege.

'Kill the humans.'

"Gweeegh!

"

"Gweeegh!

"
