The Greatest Beast Tamer of Earth

Manu crossed the bridge and had just sighed in relief when he looked at the Skeleton Soldiers coming at him. He first wanted to look for Dilip and join him, but when he looked at Dilip surrounded by an endless number of opponents, he decided to take care of the ones at his front.

"I guess someone will need to stop these guys after all," he said, and he started eliminating every Skeleton Soldier that had walked past Dilip.

He got busy and started eliminating all the remaining opponents, but he suddenly heard weird cracking sounds. When he looked back, he realized more skeleton soldiers were coming out of the ground. These were very different from what they had faced till now; they were wearing armor and carrying swords.

"Why now?" he said as he looked at the opponents. Now he had two choices: either go stop these Skelton Soldiers from attacking his teammates or join Dilip and assist him.

"Is that even a question? Dilip will take care of his opponents on his own. I will even stop him from going all out. Helping others cross the bridge should be my main objective now."

He started fighting the newly summoned skeleton soldiers. The battle got even more difficult as more skeleton soldiers kept coming. Manu was now struggling; the opponent around him gave him no room to move, which made dodging difficult.

It was then that when he saw the skeletons around him blasting into pieces, he got scared, as he too was in the radius of the explosion, but when he opened his eyes, he was inside the cage made up of bones.

The cage disappeared, and the enemies around him were gone. He saw a skeleton soldier crossing the bridge, carrying the corpse of a boy with long black hair and a strange skeleton mask covering his face.

"Hi there," a cold voice came out of nowhere. Manu raised his spear at the Skeleton Soldier and was about to attack when he heard the voice again. "It's me, idiot," the corse moved and smiled at Manu, scaring him.

He jumped back and said, "Why can't you have a normal entry like others? Is it fun to go around and scare people?" In response, he heard a laugh from Vinay, who said, "I was just having fun."

Manu looked around and said, "Is it me or the ground is really shaking?" It was getting harder for him to balance, and some cracks started to appear on the ground around the poles on which the main ropes were tied.

Vinay laughed before replying, "Trust me, bro, the ground is really shaking; it's not your imagination, and from what I can sense, it's a very big summoning spell. Prepare yourself; the situation will become even worse now."

"What sort of dungeon is it? Isn't it way more difficult than what we were told? There was never a mention of crossing a bridge," said Manu, who was just unable to remain quiet. Things were getting out of control with every passing second. His heart was already popping out of his chest from the shocks he received every now and then.

"Shit happens sometimes. Just take a deep breath and hope for the best. Take it as special training; as long as you survive, you will be satisfied with your gains."

He laughed before continuing, "You also have me with you; I will not let your corpse rot here even if you die. I will use my spell and transform you into an undead this way we will keep fighting."

Manu felt chills on his back when he heard it. He looked back and was shocked to find out Vinay was not joking. "How comforting! I will try my best not to get in your hands even if I die. I would rather jump in the river of lava than become a disgusting undead and serve you."

Viany only laughed even more: "It's not like I am cutting you in between or anything, but it will be better if you use your hands rather than your mouth."

Hundreds of skeletons appeared out of the cracks in the ground; they were all stronger than the previous ones. Manu took a deep breath and calmed his mind while Vinay was grinning.

This place was like his backyard, and with all the materials available everywhere around him, it was easier to cast spells.

He used the 'Summon Dead' spell and called out his own Skeleton Soldiers; he asked them to stop their opponents from entering the bridge. Vinay looked at Manu and said, "Let's stop them till others cross the bridge. You go fight in front; I will assist you from the back."

When Dilip, Manu, and Vinay were busy stopping the Skeleton Army from reaching the bridge, Nina and Lalit were making their way through their opponents; Lalit was pushing them out of the bridge with his strength, while Nina was killing every opponent they faced.

The bridge was shaking constantly, making it very hard to fight and move while also maintaining balance. Dev was trying to move out of the bridge as soon as he could. He was stronger than Nina, Jay, and Lalit; he assisted them, and they started to move off the bridge.

The number of enemies was increasing, and it was getting tough for Vinay and Manu to face them. They tried their best to hold on for as long as they could. It was then that Nina, who was at the front, saw many skeleton soldiers trying to stop other skeleton soldiers.

They were a little different; she guessed they might be summoned by Vinay. She used 'Sword Dash' and started to use them to get reset; she arrived outside faster than Lalit and Dev. She saw the terrible situation of Vinay and Manu and decided to help them.

She activated the 'Bounty Hunter' skill and the image of a skull appeared above all the Skeleton Soldiers. Then she used the 'Sword Dash' + 'Quick Draw' combo and turned into a blur of shadow. The enemies were all very close, which made it easy for her to chain through them using 'Sword Dash.'

'Bounty Hunter' skill activated, and the damage of her attack increased the more opponents she slaughtered. The red glow surfaced her blade and made it easier for her to defeat the new type of Skeleton Soldiers faster.

She stopped after two seconds and put her sword shining in a blood-red glow back in its sheath. The opponents fell like chopped trees; Vinay and Manu sighed when they saw it.

They smiled at her and started looking around. They have gotten used to the pattern now. Every time a person crossed the bridge, something bad happened. "What will it be this time?" said Lalit as he was looking around.
