Chapter 68 - Seems Like The Rest Ended Early!

"Master, towards 8'o clock"

A monster with a single green-colored eye in the middle of the forehead, walking on two legs, dropped to the ground with its head cleanly separated from the body!

A knight in clad armor, holding a bloodied sword was revealed as he took out a cloth and started cleaning his sword.

"Mooooo", A minotaur with a blade of grass on its mouth was rampaging between the monsters while tearing apart their bodies with bare hands. The monsters seemed to be in despair in the presence of the minotaur.

Screech.!!

A huge bone dragon was flapping its bone wings and was destroying tens and hundreds of monsters at once, the breath from its mouth was decimating the whole area into nothing but ashes!

"Damn these ugly bitches"

A young man was holding two small Scythes connected by two sturdy chains to his shoulder guards on either of his hands and was swinging it like crazy. The monster doesn't even have the chance to come near him, even if somehow some monster managed to get near him, the red blood spears pierced their bodies ending their miserable life at once.

Hundred or so skeletons were holding different kinds of weapons and massacring the monsters while a black-robed skeleton stood on the back constantly attacking monsters in between and providing buffs for the skeletons from time to time.

After a minute or so there was not even a single monster in sight. The young man who was responsible for all this sat on a nearby rock. the old butler gave him a glass of juice, which God knows when he had the time to prepare.

"You have worked hard, master", Virupa greeted as he handed the juice glass to him.

"Hmm…Seems like the injuries are all completely healed. It's time to make the decisions"

It has been three months since the colosseum ended, the injuries he sustained in battle with William recovered earlier than he thought thanks to his skill <Undead Confederate> which effectively increased his health regeneration speed.

Even then he was forced to rest in bed for a month, but his summons was not on rest as all of them roamed around the 10th floor massacring the monsters and leveling up. with extra stats points placed in the constitution, his recovery speed took a sharp increase.

After the battle with William, he realized that depending only on his summons was a short way to hell, he realized the need to increase his battle powers, so even when his injuries had not healed completely, he constantly sparred with Kapali, learning various things!

Of course, he didn't become a battle genius or anything like that, if he was a greenhorn before then he can be considered as a beginner now.

He also changed his main weapon from the huge scythe to small two-handed scythes that are connected by two sturdy chains to his shoulder guards. He realized that the huge scythe has many restrictions even though it looked cool, the time needed to swing the scythe and the time lapse between connecting to the next attack if the first one missed, they seemed like trivial things to consider but may become deadly in real battle.

At first, he tried many weapons like sword, spear, dagger even the bow, which had been rusting in his inventory forever now, it was still not possible for him to pull the string of the bow which made him think 'just what kind of a manic would make a bow which can't be used.

Anyway, after so much trial and error, he asked Tony to create him two small scythes by melting his huge scythe and connecting them with two sturdy chains and also a shoulder guard that was attached to the end of the chains.

It looked really cool if I have to be honest.

"It seems everyone has reached lv.100 right?"

He opened his status window after a long time to take a look at it.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

All of his class-specific skills have leveled up due to the increase in class rank.

He also gained two-handed short-Scythe mastery and he got to know how to better use most of the skills while sparring with Kapali.

Overall, his power has increased by two folds may be the major thing being another slot open for his main skill <Raise from the dead> and an increase in the number of skeleton summons to one hundred and fifteen which was a huge number. if he had fought in colosseum as he was now, then no one could have stopped him from winning.

"It's time to go back, Pack up skellies"

For the last three months, he had been staying in the same house that Karna had taken him to, the house was in the middle of a huge forest named 'Skova'. Normal people don't visit this far inner into the forest due to high-level monsters inhabiting the place. It was originally a hideout where Karna used to meet with other Shadows. but now it was a place for Shiva to sleep.

Currently, there were 31 shadows with 18 men, 9 women, and 4 children.

All of them had joined different Organizations as spies while remaining as normal assassins on the outward appearance, and among them, Karna was in Bramhalok, Radha in Asgard, A young child named Kaizer was successful in joining 'White-Tiger', a guild led by one of the 101 myths.

Shiva also ordered Karna to train the Orphans he can find. In the Tower, there was no less of Orphans. He set a benchmark for them to be recruited as Shadow trainers, and ordered him to make all the 'Failed products' work menial jobs.

Karna was hesitant at first but agreed to him as the fate of an orphan in the Tower was already sealed if they don't have any talent. Then giving them food to feed themselves by working them was not bad considering that they would end up dead if they were left alone in the tower.

As for the three who were living with him now, Shiva had already sorted that out.

He promised Anna, who was impersonating as Kenta that he would help her look for the surviving members of nymphs and will seek vengeance for them and in return he asked her to swear loyalty to him along with whoever the survivors he would managed to save with the blood pact.

Blood pact which was considered to be a slave contract. it is way for someone to gain a control over other person, The other person who had signed the blood pact would not be able to refuse any commands of the master, if not they would be only be inviting their death.

It was essentially a very disadvantageous pact for her as signing it would mean that she would became his slave for rest of her life, but she readily agreed to it saying,

"As long as you seek revenge for my kin, I am ready to scarify myself"

'She was definitely insane' Shiva thought remembering the scene of her kneeling in front of him.

He arrived at the shabby house as Karna along with Anna and the Weird clown whose face he still haven't seen came out.

There was also Tony who was hurriedly packing something to his huge bag behind the back of the Mech-Machine. The mech this time seemed more advanced, its huge asses were gone, it was beautifully painted with a 'T' and 'S' mark on its chest.

Shiva who arrived near the house looked at them as he said,

"Then Shall we go find the 'Soul Stone?'"
