<[Description]>

[An abomination, its existence spits in the face of life and death – and they spit back. Flee if possible. Execute with extreme prejudice.]

“Hmm, no corundum bite since that came from the wolf skull, no corundum claws either. I guess the only difference is the name and five less health?”

“Oh wait, fear?”

Jay analysed the strange new skill.

<[Fear]>

[A gentle tapping in the back of one’s mind. A cold breath on the neck. A gazing shadow on the very edge of one’s vision. You can run, but not forever; You can kill it, but not forever.]

– The human skeleton creates an unnatural sense of fear in humans, reducing morale and concentration.

– 1% less strength..

– 0.03% Chance of fleeing, higher chance if more skeletons than humans, higher chance if higher level than human.

“Huh… Cool. Weird that it would make such a change though.” Jay scratched his head, thinking that the wolf skull skeletons were much more menacing.

“I wonder if the fear effect would be better than the extra damage.. It seems like if I had a high level army of them, then they would cause everyone to flee? Hmm, I guess it depends if the fear effect stacks.”

“It seems like it’s a true skeleton now. Quite fitting for a pure necromancer. Good thing I have a large stockpile of human remains.” Jay smiled to himself as he imagined his future army.

Jay sent the skeleton off once more to die in the glorious battle taking place in the next room.

He waited patiently as he heard the occasional hiss sound, with the crunching noise of the hammers mixed in. It seemed that the pace of battle had been set now, so he decided to investigate.

It wasn’t as safe as waiting near the door, but his curiosity was getting the better of him. Besides, the skeletons were mostly fine, so it couldn’t be too dangerous, and Jay wanted to at least analyse it before they killed it anyway.

Still keeping his guard up, Jay went to peer around the corner, to look at the shrieking, hissing beast.

Finally, he laid his eyes upon the monster.

Another notification sounded but Jay ignored it, he was too shocked by what he saw – somehow his skeletons were fighting this thing without dying?
