Reborn in another world as a Hermaphrodite

"Remember, level three mages and level three monsters go through one of the biggest changes that makes lower level unbeatable."

All three of them nodded in agreement as Katherine started burning the spider's body before a massive gate behind the spider was revealed.

"You three prepare for the last room?"

Katherine's question cheered them up a little from losing their chance to fight the spider boss.

"What's behind the gates?" Alex curiously asked as he picked up his sword that had fallen onto the floor.

"You all will see it when you get there. Are you all ready?" Katherine asked as she put her hand on the button next to the door.

With a nod, Katherine pressed the button, causing the gate to reveal a long hallway just like the room they were in.

The room was almost filled with hundreds of skeletons, all with swords and even shields, as the two rooms were now merged.

More importantly, all of them were alive with blue flames in it's eye sockets as they looked over at the four of them.

Alex immediately stepped up in front, showing no fear as Sophia and Mary began casting their spell immediately.

With Katherine turning invisible, the skeleton's attention was focused on Alex, who charged in with a wall of light element covering in front of him.

Almost every skeleton he ran into fell onto the floor before he ran out of mana to keep up the light wall.

Just as he began to run back, ten orbs of light flew right into the crowds of skeletons, causing massive gaps in the skeleton formations.

Still, it quickly filled back up after the orb of light ran out of steam, disappearing as more skeletons filled in the gaps.

"So many skeletons! Alex, do you think we can beat this?" Sophia asked as the two of them started casting another round of spells.

"Just keep doing it. I'm sure there's a limit to how many skeletons there are."

Alex started to get into close-range combat, with his occasional light wall covering spots where his shield couldn't.

But he was slowly being forced back, retreating towards the two to avoid being surrounded.

With more and more orbs of light being shot by Sophia and Mary, the skeleton army finally started to dwindle.

Soon, they were about to kill half of them as Alex had been pushed all the way back to where Sophia and Mary stood.

"What do we do now?"

Mary asked as they were now surrounded by skeletons, with the wall behind their back.

The only thing holding them was the light barrier they cast, which was starting to crack as the skeleton kept attacking it.

"We'll just charge our way out. Cast a barrier on my shield and just follow me."

Just as the barrier was about to break, Sophia and Mary withdrew their mana from holding it up.

Alex immediately charged out, holding the shield lit up with light with both hands, and shoved everything aside.

Fortunately, his gamble paid off as he picked the thinnest part of the skeleton army to break through.

The three quickly continued running forward until they were at the opposite end of the room.

With a small break to regenerate their mana, the three of them began casting orbs of light right at the remaining skeleton army.

By the time the skeleton army reached them, only ten skeletons were remaining.

"Let me clean this up. I want to try to beat this myself."

Both of the girls didn't say anything, but they cast a layer of light over Alex's body.

As Alex charged in with his sword and shield, he blocked the right skeleton's attack while swinging his sword to the right.

The slash was enough to neutralize one of the skeletons as he jumped backward to dodge the other attacks from the side.

Next, he makes his next move by running to the side, forcing the skeletons to clump up as he charged in again.

With a stab, he cuts one of the skeleton's heads right off before raising his shield to block one of their attacks.

Alex continued to dance around the skeleton, making occasional attacks, using its immobile movement as its weakness.

"Can you finish already?" Sophia complained as she was starting to get a little bored.

"Fine."

Alex recklessly charged at the last two, shield slamming one of them down before swinging his sword at the other one.

"Finally, we're done..."

Mary murmured as Alex went over to a few of the neutralized skeletons, stabbing them in the head to end their life.

"Mom, we're done, right?"

Sophia asked as she noticed Katherine still nowhere to be seen, as if there was still a fight coming up.

"Mom?"

Alex and Mary quickly realized something was off as well, as they couldn't find Katherine anywhere in the room.

However, before they could say anything else, dark elements suddenly began to cluster in the middle of the merged room.

"Shit, there's another boss!"

Both of the girls immediately moved behind Alex, letting him stand before them as they had already begun casting their spell.

As the dark element surrounding the center slowly disappeared, a skeleton with full knight armor appeared.

It held a giant greatsword with both hands, slowly turning its head towards them as the blue flame glowed through its helmet.

"I can definitely not tank that," Alex murmured, already picturing his arm being shattered if he tried to block it.

Still, Alex stepped forward to create some distance between him and the two girls as he raised his weapon.

"Come on, swing at me if you dare."

Alex flat-out threw his shield at the skeleton before running to the side, drawing the skeleton's attention.

As the skeleton knight began to charge towards him with its greatsword, Alex immediately bolted as fast as he could.

To his surprise, the skeleton was able to catch up to him despite wearing full armor and wielding a massive sword.

With no time to think, he took a quick turn as the skeleton swung his sword down onto the floor, creating several cracks in the tiles.

"Thank god that sword is slow——"

Just as Alex was relieved at swinging speed, the knight suddenly raised his sword and swung sideways.

Alex was forced to raise his sword, sliding across the floor before stopping as he didn't try to maintain himself in place.

"God damn, this thing is strong," Alex murmured as he could still feel his ankles almost broken from sliding so much without falling.

He could feel his wrist a little hurting as the skeleton raised his sword, getting ready for another round of attacks.

This time, Alex didn't try just running away.

He started casting several rock spells and hurled them right at the skeleton, which delayed several of the attacks.

It was just enough time for Alex to dodge the verticle and the horizontal slash as he started rolling around.

Soon, he realized he could force the skeleton to swing awkward angles as he rolled closer, allowing him even occasionally to stab at the knight.

Even though it couldn't scratch the armor, he was still doing it to keep the knight's attention.

"What's taking you all so long?" Alex asked, starting to feel tired from trying to stall for so long.

"Just a few more seconds. We're trying to make a big one!"

As Alex turned for a split second, he was shocked to see a massive orb of light the size of four times the skeleton knight being cast.

Knowing the plan, Alex immediately withdraws from being so close to the skeleton.

Running at full speed, he lunges towards the two, falling onto the floor flat as they finally finish casting the orb of lights.

The skeleton knight seems to notice the magic as it charges right at them at full speed, getting ready to block it with his sword.

"Take this!"

With a blinding bang, both girls were forced to cover their eyes as the orbs of light hit the skeleton light.

By the time the light disappeared, the skeleton knight had vanished, with the only thing remaining being its great sword.

As Alex stood back up, the great sword evaporated into small particles, and the room was now finally in peace.

"God damn, that felt so scary...' Alex murmured as he still couldn't believe he managed to stall for that long.

He could still feel his heart pumping like crazy, unable to calm down at all as his hand kept shaking.

"That thing looks even more intimidating than the spider."

Sophia commented, still feeling a little scared after seeing the skeleton knight making a desperate charge at the last second.

"Mom! Are we done yet?" Mary impatiently asked, starting to regret exploring the dungeon.

"Yep, you guys are done! That was the last boss of this dungeon."

Katherine finally appeared from the shadow as she began walking towards them, clapping and looking a little proud.

"Mom, was that a level two mob?" Alex curiously asked.
