Debra tried all the skills of Skeleton Centaur Knight on Paul one by one and Paul like a worthy C-rank shieldbearer took them head-on.

Even though Skeleton Centaur Knight is a C-rank summon its strength was reduced to D-rank summon as Debra was still a Card soldier.

Since the origin cards are the individuality of the card apprentice their rank is dependent on the realm of the card apprentice.

If Debra were ever to become a Card Grandmaster or higher then her origin card would also undergo baptism and become a B-rank or higher card.

Even though the Skeleton Centaur knight is weakened it is still invincible under C-rank. And most of the skills shown by Dedra’s Skeleton centaur knight are rare skills.

“The origin card is good but I still don’t think it’s worth 100 million dollars.” Said Jaya.

Seeing that Jaya’s problem is not with me, all she wanted was to criticise Cindy I choose to ignore her comments.

“Miss..madam there are still two more skill to test.” Said Debra, it seems she did not know how to address Jaya.

“No need for honorifics, I am a trainee just like you. I think we have seen enough except for few rare skills there is nothing special about the skeleton worthy of 100 million.” Criticised Jaya.

Debra did not know how to reply. after all, Jaya’s status was special and she did not want to be on her wrong side on the first day of her new job or any other day.

“No, Debra display the other two skills. So I can judge your strength and decided on the role you will be playing in your new team.” Cindy thought otherwise.

Debra nodded and looked at Paul, he nodded and shouted “Don’t hold back newbie”

With a serious expression, Debra chanted “undead minions”

Suddenly, an eerie breath started to leak from the skeleton centaur knight and filled the entire training hall. The skeleton centaur knight raised its front hoofs and stomped hard on the ground.

The ground vibrated and 100 skeleton centaur soldiers surfaced above the ground surrounding the skeleton Centaur knight. unlike the skeleton centaur knight who was covered in bone armour, the skeleton centaur soldiers were equipped with worn-out dirty armour and weapons.

Looking at the 100 skeleton centaur soldiers that surfaced on the ground everybody was dumbfounded, even though I had already read the card skills beforehand I was also shocked as the scene of 100 skeleton centaur soldiers in the formation surrounding the knight was dreadful and overwhelming.

Facing 101 Skeleton Centaurs Paul’s knees were trembling and they almost gave out, if not for his years of experience as an adventurer.

‘I am shieldbearer, not a roadkill.’ He thought looking at 404 hoofs in front of him, they can stomp him to death.

Jaya’s mouth hung open, not just her everyone else in the training hall was in a state of shock.

I was looking at Cindy she seemed to still maintain a calm expression and did show any emotion on her face. Are her facial muscles dead or what!

But 4 members of Pauls party quickly responded and went to support him. It seems Fine Gold Guards are not to be underestimated.

Thankfully the Skeleton centaur army did not plan on attacking or else it would be a blood bath. 100 D-rank undead monsters were more than enough to bring down a C-rank party.

“Is this worth 100 million dollars?” I asked mockingly. I did not know why I said that but it felt good.

Jaya did not respond as she was still in a state of shock. Pointing her fingers at the skeleton centaurs she exclaimed “It’s a Boss monster!.. It’s a boss monster ability how can a card have boss monster ability!!”

Undead Minions/ Minions is a Boss skill only the dungeon bosses have them to call for reinforcement.

‘Huh,’ I snorted not bothering to enlighten her and I had a feeling of satisfaction for some reason.

“My fated ingredient was part of a Boss monster.” Debra tried to explain even though she did not know the reason.

Undead Minions (active) – The user can summon 100 undead minions of the same race.

Additional effect – ability to induce fear in the opponent.

Restriction – the summoned minions are a rank lower than the summoner.

Cooldown time – 12 hours.

“Now that’s worth 100 million! Hell, I almost pissed myself.” Said Jaya with a wild look.

And eagerly asked, “use the next skill, I want to see. come on!”

About the next skill, even I was eager about it because I did not know what this skill did as I did not add this skill to the card. when I tried to read the skill effects it only showed a series of question marks.
