Days passed slowly for David, with the built-in 3 times speed of the capsule the week before his first reconstruction surgery was especially long, more rest awaited him and more SSO to play, his parents came back from Europe and visited him quite a few times with his older brother, they still had no news from the eldest one but they knew he and his family was ok.
Back in the game, David managed to repurpouse the small tunnel his critters made to exit the old cave to a nice nest for his critters, Ben laid 10 eggs and Lorne 6 after she was transferred to brood mother when her services ended, half of the plated rhinos were assigned as defenders and the other as attackers, the main differences laid in the size of the horns and the thickness of the plates, the tunneling worms were made scouts, making them a bit larger than their mom in their original form. As for their names…he just used Rhino 1 to 10 and tunnel 1 to 6, he didn’t want to name every monster he received bFinally, David could feel more relieved when his little critters began to eat the corpses and lick their wounds. He ordered the worms to collapse the tunnels and Earl to stop the echolocation to recover energy. At last, he looked at the notifications he ignored during the hectic fight.[Rhino 1 has killed Skull rat (x7) and obtained 105 XP][Rhino 2 has killed Skull rat (x5) and obtained 75 XP][Rhino 3 has died!][Rhino 4 has killed Skull rat (x2) and obtained 30 XP][Rhino 5 has killed Skull rat and obtained 15 XP][Skeletor has killed Skull rat (x5) and obtained 25 XP][Tunnel 1 has killed Skull rat (x11) and obtained 165 XP][Tunnel 2 has killed Skull rat (x8) and obtained 120 XP][Tunnel 3 has killed Skull rat (x3) and obtained 45 XP][Tunnel 4 has killed Skull rat (x5) and obtained 75 XP][Skull rats available for summoning: 187]
After a good rest of 8 hours, he awoke again in the grassland feeling excited and nervous about the trek that his little army had to take to complete the quest. He stretched and watched a quick recap of the news to stay informed, called his family to say that everything was going well, and argue with his brother as usual. When he dealt with everything, Alex opened the door to let David jump straight back to the game.All of the members of the army were ready to set off, the Tunneling worms came back and rested well enough, the rhinos were not at their 100%, even then, they weren't going down without a big fight, Skeletor made another ax so he could dual-wield. Earl and Upton didn't return because such a trip could be dangerous, and they weren't in danger themselves with the tribe nearby, only receiving curious looks from the occasional golem controller. Lastly, the brood-mothers didn't lay their eggs yet becaus
The eggs hatched not too long after. Two little scrubs scared of Skeletor's existence that preferred cuddling with Earl, but that didn't stop Skeletor from pestering them. David smiled at the antics of the little undead and let him do as he pleased. The last battle was too stressful for everyone.[Mission complete! (Abyssal novice guidance)][Reputation system unlocked][Church of the abyss: 500/1000 {Welcomed Guests} ][Welcome to the Winged skull tribe]"At least that went better than Duat, get up boys, we can't rest yet." Skeletor picked the nameless, squirming worms in his arms, and all the group moved towards the settlement. David took a moment to appreciate it from a distance and was not very impressed by it. "It is what it is," he whispered and shook his head.As the group approached the entrance, the same Golem that Earl and Upton encountered was waiting by it. The g
As the parade was ending, David remembered. He still didn't ask everything he wanted, so he ordered Skeletor to catch up to the Chief. After a series of hand movements and charades, he could relay that David wanted to talk to him again. The Chief nodded and did the same trick again to talk with David."Do you need something, Mr. David?" Asked the rat skull politely."My army can cause corruption and potentially kill living beings, isn't that a problem?""Well...how can you drown a fish with water?""What?" David got very confused about the sudden question."Yes, how can you drown a fish with water?""It's impossible...""It's the Same with us, how can you corrupt with the abyss aura an abyssal creature?""Makes sense." David nodded and shrugged his shoulder. "One last question, do you have any currency?""We do, I was planning on introducing them to you at the fields when
The Magic tower was a small cylindrical tower of only three stories high made out of quartz brick. A soft red light came from its walls, and low rumblings came from the interior. In the roof were four gargoyles carved in wood, the craftmanship was superior to the golems that David saw so far and had the most amount of wings on their flat faces: 6 of them. The little ones could not see it but David could, they were watching them.After the Chief entered the tower, David ordered his minions to do the same and remain close to one another. The interior was a bit cramped, lumps of crystal and wood were on the shelves that filled the walls, magic circles painted in different colors on the ground, and multicolored light came out of the lamps in the ceiling. David was impressed by the interior, but even more so by the appearance of the shopkeeper."Greetings." A 3-meter tall figure bowed to the group. Gray fur stuck out from their clothes, and their two pairs of curved horns protr
While the critters were traversing through to tunnels again, David was looking at the stats of the golems carefully.[Name: Chaos Golem][Master: Skeletor][Tier I (0% towards Tier II)] [Race: Lesser Chaos Golem] Abyssal force: 40/40 [Attack: 5] [Defense: 5] [Dexterity: 2] [Agility: 8] [Intelligence: 4] [Skills:] Soul devour Lv 1 (2 AF/s) Mind shock Lv 1 (39 AF due to low AF) [Spells:] None [Affinities:] None[Name: Bone Golem] [Tier I (0% towards Tier II)] [Race: Lesser Bloodwood Golem] Abyssal force: 40/40 [Attack: 6] [Defense: 6] [Dexterity: 6] [Agility: 3] [Intelligence: 4] Skills: Sharpen LV 1 (5 AF) Bone Manipulation Lv 1 (15 AF) Spells: None Affinities: None [Name: Banshee Golem] [Tier I (0% towards
While every member of the army was working hard to build their future home, there were two shiny cocoons in the middle of their lot guarded by rats and their little golems. They were Lorne mowers II and Ben Dover II, and as their mothers, were brood mothers too. David needed tanks and attackers to start hunting, and the solution was simple: plated rhinos and blood vultures. Bone vultures would not be as useful as their red cousin, so Upton was spared of the role.When they broke free of their crystal prison, they started to produce two eggs right away. David's contract with the Chief stipulated that they were going to feed 200 of his critters, but there wasn't a limit to how many he can have. He Just needed a reliable food source to feed the rest.And that reliable food source would come very soon with the new druidic spells: Voice of the forest and Poem of roses. [Poem of roses: Increase the size of flowers and roots 25 meters around the user. (55 AF) (3 hours, 30 m
Just as the Chief finished brawling with a 6-meters tall six-armed ape, he caught a helmet made out of green crystal that someone threw in his direction. He wore it and tapped at the right side of it as if he was activating a communicator."I want a full report of the situation." Spoke the Chief in a solemn tone just before throwing a punch against a sneaky greater chameleon. "Dance of thorns." He whispered before gray-colored thorned vines popped from the ground and trapped the reptile, a nearby member of the tribe decapitated it with a sword."Yes, Chief." Answered a calm, feminine voice, there was a lot of noise on the other side of the call as well, mostly screeches and the buzz from insect wings. "The swamp front is full of insectoids and reptiles, and some amphibians appear sometimes, but they refuse to engage with our forces because they would be vulnerable to their predators.""The members of the tower are making their golems patrol the streets! So far, three
