Logging back in, the next moments for Levi turned into a blur. First on the list is to grind his way for four level's worth to bump his 51 mana stat into 71 therefore crossing the third thresshold of the mana stat.
He glanced at the reinmated bone-ified version of the Tainted King of the Shallows whom he left when he logged out.
The reanimated boss acted the same strolling down and lunging around the boss area. Even taking the very seat himself.
Shrugging to himself, he led the army to further venture past the shallow Forrest ultimately entering another zone.

> >Startmore
> >>Shallow Forrest of Clike
> >>>Hytheria Barrens
----------------------------------------
From the shallow flood of Clike, Hytheria Barrens was damn dry. Good thing there were gateways that allow fast travel between HytheriaBarrens and Startmore.
And by what it looks like it, is present between all normal hunting areas. Levi must have missed it as he immedietly Found the boss before going straight towards a single direction, farming his way right towards Hytheria Barrens.
Just by one look at the Barrens, Levi immedietly abandoned all plans to directly charge forward, traveling back using the gateway to Startmore. Making sure to buy enough food and water, he ignored the glances of the people as he directly entering the gateway back to Solo mode Hytheria Barrens.
He found it convinient that he can leave the army, as long as they were attached to one of the reanimated skeletons. The Skeletal reanimation looked bored but immedietly got up as soon as I got back, it looks like he was able to puppeteer the Skeletal Warriors while connected to him but found it too difficult and eventually got bored with it.
He then started a slow but steady slaughter. Levi walked slowly as his army advanced. Not willing to float around due to the scorching heat alot different compared to the well ventilated and moist shallows.

As the name falls for it, the Barrens were filled with hyterias, ground drakes with flaky dried mud-ish scales. They were around level 12 at the outer edges of the Barrens, which will only get higher as he reach the center.
Spreading out the Skeleton warriors, he closed his eyes and practiced to guide himself using mana sense and his connection with his summons and weapons to serve as multiple pairs of eye.
At first he took it as a challenge to manuever himself and his summons in between obstacles without attracting agro, making sure his band of skeletons along with their partner floating weapon properly positioned before letting the goons get taken over by their instincts.
Suddenly several roars sounded out all over the Barrens as the dry hytheria dragons suddenly found themselves sneaked attacked by one Skeleton and one floating weapon.
Majority of the Hytheria Dragons snorted at first, but when they experienced a hit from the weapon and their respective foe Skeleton, they gritted their teeth with pain.
As Levi's mana stat grew so does the effects of [Skeletal Arcane] amplified. With his 50 mana stat Levi was able to amplify the movements of his Skeletal summons by passing mana through [Skeletal Marking] making their hits either enough just so they could cut and pierce or at full force allowing them to cleave and hit like a truck at will.
The hytheria dragons soon fell one by one, they tried to fill the Barrens with low grade fire, utilizing their large bodies to snag and snap at the bones and summons but the bones would start to move weirdly and would either slip or fall, sometimes throw themselves at akward angles barely enough to save them.
Then there was their neighbors, whom suddenly appeared. Five horned Tainted carrying weapons made of bones slashed and stabbed at them, the horned Tainted worked like opportunists only going in whenever they see an opening blatantly using the Skeletons and the weapons as distraction and would run away whenever they feel that they would get attacked.
From the dead hytheria dragons, spawned much stronger skeletons, their bones thicker movements heavier, weapons larger.
The roars inevitably brought more and more hytheria dragons adding them to the fray. The bonified version of the boss of the Shallows surprisingly summoned five more horned Skeletal versions of their furry counterparts all adding to Levi's army. Adding more power to the meat grinder.
This continued for less than a minute before it was pitch quiet.
No longer was the outskirts filled with Hytheria Dragons, an undead had replaced the area and at the middle of the kerfuffle was Levi.
