Chapter 31: The First Floor of the Mausoleum

The battle of disparity in strength began immediately, and the troops of skeletons and zombies swarmed towards us as if the entire ground were approaching together. The number of your own team is thirty-six, which means that one person has to face more than ten monsters, or it may be twenty or even thirty.

This huge number gap is almost desperate for the average person, but the adventurers present have no intention of backing down. For them, who have a lot of combat experience, reaching an upper-middle level among adventurers, the number is not a problem. These low-level undead are extremely monolithic and unorganized, so defeating them is not a difficult task, the only question is the amount of time and physical energy spent.

After entering the berserk state, the berserker class will lose most of its rationality and can only barely distinguish between friend and foe, but as compensation, the various functions of the body will be greatly improved, so the berserkers who were originally at the back of the formation instantly rushed to the front line of the battlefield.

The lineup of skeleton soldiers and zombies also diverged after the march, and the skeleton soldiers who moved faster all rushed to the front. The berserkers who were about to encounter the skeletons did not engage them, but instead jumped into the air. Berserker itself is an advanced class of warriors, each of whom has a very good physical fitness, and through the jump of enhanced skills, he can jump past a large number of skeletons and smash them into the zombies behind him like a meteorite.

The powerful impact caused the vibrations came from beneath the feet one after another, and even through the dense crowd of skeletons, they could see the strange sight of zombie flesh splattering from a distance. Zombies are rotten corpses, and their body's defense is not strong, so they can be said to be powerless in the face of berserkers with specialized strength. The berserkers kept waving the weapons in their hands to eradicate the zombies in front of them one by one, and the attacks of the zombies were blocked by the heavy armor, unable to cause any substantial damage to the berserkers, and the corpse poison released was also offset by the unique anti-poison ability of the berserker class, and the battle situation could be said to have evolved into a one-sided form.

As the berserkers swept through the zombies with devastating force, the rest of the men faced off against the skeletons. In the face of the siege of the skeleton soldiers, they quickly gathered into a circle formation, and the profession that was good at hand-to-hand combat acted as a meat shield on the periphery of the circle to prevent the skeleton soldiers from approaching, Ballykaf skillfully used swordsmanship, Anjief released the martial arts of straight attacks from time to time, Yarebak smashed the rushing skeleton soldiers one by one with an axe, and the martial arts released by Locke blew the skeleton soldiers into the air like a tornado. Since skeletons are highly resistant to spurs-type attacks, weapons such as bows and daggers are completely useless, so classes such as archers and thieves also use scepters, macers, and other assault-type weapons to attack.

Inside the circle, the magicians continued to release area magic to deal damage, and the priests also used divine magic to continuously destroy the skeletons.

The skeletons that rushed towards the circle were eliminated, and the gaps created were filled by the skeletons that followed. In this way, the white bones around the circle are constantly accumulated, and if the skeletons have intelligence, they will temporarily stop attacking, but unfortunately they don't have that ability to think, and the only judgment they can make is to rush at the living and kill them. So at this moment, the skeleton soldiers were like moths rushing towards the fire, and the broken bones around the circle were piled higher and higher to become a city wall, and the surviving skeleton soldiers still climbed and rushed towards the circle formation, and then became part of the broken bone city wall.

No less than a hundred skeleton soldiers surrounded me, who was acting alone, and I waved the two-handed long sword in my hand at will, and the ring sword qi instantly turned the surrounding skeleton soldiers into powder. It's hard to be one of the same kind, guys!

Countless bones splattered everywhere, and the sound of shattering echoed in the hall on the first floor, and under the struggle of everyone, a staggering number of skeletons and zombies were gradually eliminated.

Since the first floor was an empty hall and there was no value to explore, after clearing the low-level undead, we began to move towards the second floor.

"This, this is!"

The stone steps leading to the second level were already in view, but a cry of surprise stopped us in front of a square stone monument three meters high and carved with text-like symbols. It was Drucker, who was screaming, and he was looking intently at the stone tablet in front of him, his mouth wide open in surprise.

"What's wrong? Drucker," Anjef asked with concern.

"The inscription on this stele is the language of the sacred wood used by our forest priests, and it records the life and deeds of one of our forest priests and the first king of the Duchy of Basol, Lux 'Green Sage'."

"Wait, you're talking about the king who suddenly disappeared after the establishment of the kingdom?" The expression on Locke's face changed dramatically.

"Ah, I think it's possible that we're in his mausoleum right now." Drucker nodded solemnly.

"Haha, since it is the king's mausoleum, it means that there must be a lot of treasure, and this is really the right time." Locke laughed greedily, and the Dark Hounds let out excited celebrations.

"Don't be too happy, maybe there will be an unexpected powerful guardian." Anjefu cautioned cautiously, but judging by his expression, he should also be full of anticipation for this mausoleum. After all, exploring the unknown is always exciting.

"No matter what kind of opponent we have, we Wilderness Breakers will defeat them," Witt said with a sneering snort, this was the first time I'd heard him speak since the battle with him, and it had given him some confidence compared to the battle with the low-level undead just now.

"Lukes' disappearance has always been the biggest mystery in the history of the Duchy of Basol, and perhaps the answer to this mystery lies in this mausoleum." Ballycalf looked up at the stele as if talking to himself.

"If this is really the mausoleum of that great man, it is not surprising what kind of mechanism it will have, everyone should be more cautious."

"Ah, ah, got it, let's go." Locke shouted impatiently.

"It's really exciting."

After knowing the possible owner of this mausoleum, smiles of varying degrees appeared on everyone's faces.
