Exiled Clan 47 Horde Grows

"Only one of them broke through."

Now two hundred bronze shade skeletons were present in the horde which were all sitting cross-legged at the bottom of the dried pool.

"Increasing the soul power is a pain in the back," Rudra said as he raised his scepter to inspect the souls of every undead under his command.

Rudra pointed at the skeleton that had just luckily formed his soul crystal.

"You are named Deadone." Rudra named it simply so that he didn't have to come up with a new name after every one of his skeletons formed its soul crystal and became a bit smarter.

Deadone with his ma.s.sive crocodile skull s.h.i.+eld bowed his head and thanked Rudra for giving him a name.

"Move out boyz..." sitting on his mighty steed tiger he commanded.

"I should name you too." Rudra stroked the skull with his bony fingers.

"You are almost at the peak of your rank." he looked at the blackish skeleton of the tiger below him.

"Let's name you Blackie..." Rudra said to the saber tooth tiger.

"I need to help you form your soul crystal too."

"Hope we find more preys along the way."

...

.....

...

...

The horde of undead was standing in 4 groups each with its s.h.i.+eld bearing skeleton at the front followed by 5 or so sword carrying skeletons and a single dagger carrying one and the then the dirt poor undead.

All 4 of these groups were positioned in a box formation around the center where Rudra was atop Blackie guarded by Deadra and Deadone who had both broken through to the 7th bone rank and now had a silverish hue on their body.

Rudra had attacked many roaming undead creatures but it had only allowed him to rank up 2 undead to 7th rank while the rest of his horde was still in 8th rank bone.

Rudra didn't make any new weapons, he just used all the bones and souls to nourish his skeleton hordes soul and bones.

Blackie formed its soul crystal and was just a tinge away from a breakthrough in its bone strengthening.

They were all gathered outside a bone castle similar to the one Rudra had encountered before, Rudra was very excited to raid this one he was sure he would gain more undead skeletons for his horde as well a scepter if this castle also contained a lich.

Feeling excited Rudra ordered his horde to charge into the castle,

The red flames skeleton horde with the s.h.i.+eld beares in front charged into the castle clas.h.i.+ng with the normal green flames skeletons that were all of the 9thrank.

CRACK!

BAM!

One of the s.h.i.+eld-bearer pushed the oncoming attackers with his s.h.i.+eld causing them to be thrown at a considerable distance.

SWIs.h.!.+

An enemy undead skeleton lost its head after a swipe from a swordsman from the horde.

The enemies were not able to contend with an armed and superior skeleton horde.

The enemies were easily decimated in a matter of minutes, a clear path between the gate and the throne was made revealing a lich with a scepter similar to the one in the hand of Rudra.

Rudra just stood at the gates and watched the battle unfold waiting for the lich sitting on the throne to take action.

Rudra decided not to destroy more of the skeletons in the castle used his soul thread as a blade to cut their connection with the lich in the middle of the hall.

"How dare you..." an angry voice boomed in the hall.

Rudra paid no heed to it as he transformed the enemy skeletons into his own minions.

"You should worry about yourself, Mate," Rudra said as he raised his scepter to attack the soul of the lich.

Before the lich could respond he was pincered from both sides by the a.s.sault from Deadra and Deadone.

BAM!

Deadone used his ma.s.sive s.h.i.+eld to knock the lich out of the throne and Deadra chased after the ich getting a few hits with his dagger from time to time.

But the lich who was inferior in soul techniques compared to Rudra was defeated before he could do any harm and the castle was conquered.

Rudra absorbed the soul of the lich into Deadtwo, 4th in the horde to form a soul crystal and handed him the scepter and taught him a few simple soul techniques like soul shock and soul blade.

The castle was once again torn down and used to improve the rank of the newly acquired 200 skeletons who were all in the 9th stage of bone-strengthening.

With the new additions, the horde now had Blackie who was at the 6th rank of bone-strengthening, Deadra at 7th rank of bone-strengthening along with Deadone. 8th rank Deadtwo and 200 more undead and the rest were in the peak or late stage of 9th rank of bone-strengthening.

Looking at his horde, Rudra chuckled on as he ordered them to move out.

"Onwards boyz"
