Okay, two things can be said about their current situation.
One while the choice that was made can be considered a good one it can be set as 'temporarily' so.
Then secondly there isn't another way to leave the crypt as it only has one exit, with the main problem being the named monster.
will it bring chaos like Yok'ta did or not?
The place smelled like mold with moss and stain marks covering some of the parts of the place, old cobwebs that hung from the ceiling with the occasional fist-sized spiders that scurried away upon seeing this group, and falling apart, with some holes in the floor that could end anyone's life should they be dumb enough to jump in.
The interior reminded him of that colosseum in Rome just older more Refined and the collection of coffins and graves with some undead waiting for someone to open it which is something that the colosseum lacked as every sound made would echo, create a small amount of dust and debris, with the ceiling creaking from wear and tear.
Putting the usual stuff aside, Walter had another monster within his group just that this one is either shy or that's how things will be since he really can't see the outline of whatever it was other than when it attacks or blocks a potential attack towards him, in this case, lowered parts of the ceiling and walls thanks to how fast yin was going.
As for why he was bringing this up, the new Summon, which by the way he had no idea when he got it, was acting as some kind of armor for him as well as his attacker as its body was several times larger than his but this time it came at a cost, 50 mana per sec!
either it is too damn powerful or he is missing a piece as its 'status' was just like when he had first gotten Angel.
!)@(#&$ (Aegis) level 0/0 2/10 fragments(?)
>Armament
>Iron will
It also had a question mark unlike with the wendigo and angel since it piqued his interest he focused his thoughts on it, upon doing so made another screen appear as this summon was giving him some kind of quest asking Walter to find a specific item within the crypt and deliver it to Kashya.
Seeing that there weren't any problems other than it being already named, he accepted it since he was inside of the crypt, albeit, against his will might as well profit a bit from it, however, upon doing a burning crest was marked on his chest nearly making him pass out from the pain as it wasn't just physically marking him, Walter felt it reach passed that, like a part of his soul was taken as the familiar feeling he gets from whenever the summons level up surged through him just that this time it was the opposite!
Luckily for him, Yin was still carrying him like some luggage on her shoulder when this transpired so they were still on the move, as he was trying to recover he decided to name the other two summons with it being Berhald and Tarka not very original but it'll do rather than calling them by their race and weapon~
It worked well to distract him from the ongoing pain and when they reach the second basement downward was when the pain finally stopped as Walter felt stronger than ever.
within the area were a collection of old skeletons thoroughly corrupted and unable to return to the earth through regular means, but they served well as more experience for his summons since hairy had some of the minions carry him as he was keeping the aura going since there wasn't anything that he CAN do right now, Walter checked Hairy's stats.
Cleansed Shaman (Hairy) level 27/??
>Summon Servants (19/81) +3 per level
>Resurrect Servants
>Empower Allies
>Fire magic
>Lightning magic
>Water magic
>Sanctuary(Skill Book)
Just the first three alone made him one of Walter's favorite Summons and the struggle against blood raven made his levels jump up nearly reaching Quinn that was waiting for Walter to be put down as it flew above, trying to get back on its favorite spot!
Berhald and Tarka worked well as vanguards, the whole time these two were in sync in everything that they did, both were level 11 and they played their roles well, Berhald was the muscles of the two, smashing through anything that came their way even some of the walls were spared from his meddling and destruction.
Tarka was the swift and efficient of the two as all of the traps and sneak attacks were taken care of by her, yes her, Tarka was a Goat woman which would explain the overly slim frame of hers but she was just as tall as Berhald but she was more inclined with deadly attacks that killed the enemy in one go with her keen sense for any possible danger thanks to her skill.
these are the stats of the two
Goat man Dark Spearman (Berhald) level 11/??
>Spear mastery
>Dark Mirror
>Stomp
>Last Stand
Goat woman Cloaked Blade (Tarka) level 11/??
>Katar mastery
>Danger sense
>Sonic blow
>Critical Strike
a spearman and an 'assassin' quite a pair to have, but Walter was really thankful for the danger sense skill as there were a good number of normal-looking pots that could've anyone that was dumb enough to try touching it one of which was Walter since yin like an overprotective sister finally let him down and his curious hands reached out to an old pot near him before Tarka stopped him just in time as his hand was mere inches away from one of such items mostly due to how exquisite the pot looked to him thus the stupid action.
Tarka gestured him to step back which he did before she threw a small stone at the pot that exploded into flames when the stone hit it!
After seeing what those devious pots can do, this made Walter turn slightly pale then gulp and return back to the group before Quinn found a chance to land on its favorite spot as it started preening his hair.
the crypt started shaking before all of Walter's summons readied themselves except for Quinn the damn bird was too focused on preening his hair at the moment, as shortly after the shaking they found a room that had a narrow passageway making it the best place to resist the horde of monsters in small batches making it the ideal place to cull their numbers before facing their leader.
Once the prepared traps that Tarka was making were halfway done, the first batch of 20+ monsters had arrived while Walter was collecting the loot from the minions of Hairy with a few gemstones in his inventory He quickly ate more of those pebbles to increase their chances of survival with one particular one just like with Quinn's made him feel pangs of hunger so he tossed this one inside of his mouth and let it do its work as upon doing so... he experienced yet another out of body experience~
