The sentinel skeletons surrounded the towering Giant, their bones clanking together as they closed in on their massive target.

They lunged at the Giant, kicking and punching with all their might.

Their skeletal fists connected with the Giant's stone-like skin, sending small cracks spreading across its surface.

"Oh, this time it must hurt."

Archvel laughed.

The Giant swung its massive arms, attempting to crush the skeletons under its powerful fists.

But the agile undead creatures dodged and weaved, narrowly avoiding the crushing blows.

They countered with swift kicks to the Giant's legs, causing it to stagger momentarily.

"The speed difference between Giants and Sentinels and the fact that Skeletons are controlled directly by me changes everything.”

The Giant let out a deep roar of anger, shaking the ground beneath them.

Undeterred, the sentinel skeletons pressed on, using their teamwork to gain the upper hand. One skeleton distracted the Giant with a series of quick jabs to its chest, while another delivered a powerful blow to its knee, causing it to buckle under the force.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaah"

The giant shouted again, but this time his voice carried even more pain and agony.

As the Giant fell to one knee, this time more tired, the sentinel skeletons seized the opportunity to launch a coordinated attack.

They swarmed around the Giant, delivering a barrage of punches and kicks from all sides.

At the same time, Shadow Cat and other undead creatures attacked with all their power.

Despite their relentless assault, the Giant refused to be defeated easily.

It counterattacked with a sweeping kick, knocking several skeletons back and sending them flying through the air.

But as they crashed to the ground, the sentinel skeletons swiftly rose to their feet,

"Despite taking damage, sentinel skeletons, or the undead in general, have no understanding or feeling of pain. Which makes them relentless enemies. Unless they are destroyed completely, they will try to obey my orders, and it does not mean if my orders mean certain death or pain, as there is no concept of death or pain for them..."

The sentinel skeletons closed in on the Giant once more, using their combined strength to push it back.

They struck with precision and skill, targeting weak spots on the giant's body and chipping away at its defenses.

The battle raged on, the clash of bones and stones reverberating through the air.

Each punch, kick, and strike was met with an equal display of resilience from the Giant.

As the battle reached its climax, the sentinel skeletons gathered their strength for one final, powerful attack.

With a mighty roar, they converged on the Giant, striking with all their might. The sound of shattering bones filled the air as the Giant finally crumbled under the force of their assault.

"It took much longer than I thought."

Archvel took a deep breath and closed his eyes for a second.

He turned to look at the ordinary skeletons and shook his head.

"Yeah, these are not going to be useful in fights. They may look scary to ordinary people, but against proper enemies such as mages and magical creatures, they are helpless."

"I need to focus on creating stronger armies and helpers."

"Also, it is clear to me that from now on, I will quickly need more versatility in my summons as well as myself."

"As always, there are many things to do."

Archvel then looked at the body of the Giant and smiled.

"Skeletons, take his corpse to the Dark Archive; use the main gate to enter, as it would not find it in the small entrance."

"Quick, we need to be fast to not encounter any more creatures."

With the order from Archvel, the skeletons looked at the giant and then started working.

Using all of their power to carry it back to the Dark Archive.

Archvel went back to the Dark Archive.

He went directly to his room and started writing with his pen.

He wrote down everything that happened as he battled against the Giant.

In a sense, this was his first battle using his only summons against some sort of strong enemy.

Of course, he does not consider the mages from Death Tree he fought before.

Because the nature of that battle was much different.

Archvel considered fighting against human mages harder than fighting against monsters. At least for now.

"Fighting against mages is harder because they are able to think, combine their attacks, and plan further than most monsters."

"Even that giant, who was at the level of three, only had the intelligence of a teenager."

"I presume that until level four or level five, most of the monsters would not have intelligence that rivals that of humans."

Archvel took a deep breath as one of his sentinels came to his room.

He closed his eyes for a second, and all existing sentinels vanished.

At the outside.

"Boom."

The huge body of the giant fell on some of the skeletons.

The skeletons were taking help from the sentinels, and after they vanished, the sudden increase in weight caused some of the skeletons to not be able to handle the weight and be crushed under the weight of the giant.

Level Two Undeads looked at the crushed skeletons and then at the existing alive skeletons.

It was easy to see that three undead at level two were laughing their asses off.

Archvel remains unknown to the events outside as he started working on his magical understanding.

In the depths of the forest, three humanoid creatures similar to the Giant that Archvel has killed are talking.

In the middle of their camp, there was a huge bonfire, and on top of it, there was a creature being cooked.

The creature looked similar to one of the deer, but it was huge—more than four meters in size.

"Brother Langar did not come back."

One of the young-looking giants spoke as it looked at the meat being cooked.

"Langar is smart. Langar will find a way to come back.

The giant in the middle spoke. Its words were simple but easy to understand.

"What if Langar is hurt?"

The oldest giant spoke as he looked at the two other giants.

He seemed far more knowledgeable than other giants.

His eyes revealed deep wisdom.

It seems like being older makes him more experienced and maybe more powerful.

The words of the older Giant caused some silence before the Giant in the middle spoke again.

"Langar is smart and strong. He will find a way to come back to his brothers."

After the words of the Giant in the middle, there were no more words from the giants. They all focused on the meat that was cooked and started eating it directly without caring about the huge fire.

Despite their intelligence, it is clear as day that they were still creatures and not humans in the end.

They were wild and uncivilized. It is only to be expected that they have some sort of different kind of behavior when compared to humans.

Three days passed in a flash. The body of the giant was put in the middle of one of the big hallways of the Dark Archive Temple, and Archvel was inspecting it as he was thinking about what he should do with the body of the giant.

The answer seemed easy to find when he thought about it, but he was not sure.
