Money-grubbing Necromancer (247)
The path to growth

〈Next is group 2.〉

〈I will decide on the events for the second-ranking battle… … .〉

Krrrr… … !

The dark blue light, presumed to be the shape of a demon, trembled greatly.

〈Oh no. An uninvited guest has arrived… … .〉

〈We will discuss the subject later.〉

―… … Are you a drinker?

〈First, let’s start with the test for Group 3.〉

〈The time is one month later.〉

The form of the drinker became blurred.

-uh?

-Your Mashin?

The demon lords were confused.

Normally, I should have taken the test subjects 1, 2, and 3.

Aren’t you in a situation where you don’t even know the items, except for Group 3?

-What’s going on?

-An uninvited guest?

That was when.

Baal looked around and said,

―There’s nothing we can do. It seems something has come up, so we’ll have to end the banquet here.

Judging from the look of things, Baal didn’t seem to know the details.

The demon lords left the banquet hall one by one. Kim Min-woo, Ahn, and Balkan were the same.

“Is this rare?”

―This is the first time. You only told me the test subjects for Group 3… … The other groups are going to have quite a headache. They need to know the subjects so they can prepare in advance and select the right representatives.

“In other words, there is nothing disadvantageous to us?”

– That’s right. If you go up to Group 2, you’ll be hearing the same thing. So, what are you going to do?

“A month… … If I go back to Earth, is there a structure that will allow me to come back again?”

-Do you have an invitation? Please give it to me.

I gave Mr. Ahn an invitation to the masquerade ball.

[Item ‘Masked Ball Invitation’ will be changed to ‘Demon World Entry Pass’!]

[Demon World Entry Pass]

[Rating: Special]

[This is a certificate that allows you to create a gateway between the Demon World and the Earth of the user, Kim Min-woo. Andromalius has confirmed its identity.]

[Cooldown: 15 days]

“Pass?”

―Originally, you couldn’t enter the Demon Realm unless you were a member of the Demon Tribe. That is, without this kind of pass.

“So, did other agents also receive these passes?”

-It’ll be similar. Probably.

“thank you.”

-No problem.

“But wait a minute. Can someone else come with me?”

-It is possible. You can open the door and come in together.

“Okay for now.”

-Ah, before you go back.

Andromalius handed over a booklet.

―This is a booklet that organizes the ranking of the Demon Lords and information on their agents. Go back and read it.

He nodded.

I opened the door using my access card.

A portal of blue light appeared before my eyes.

“See you in a month.”

It was the moment I stepped foot into the entrance with Balkan.

“You are the child who took my ‘eyes’.”

〈But its utilization is extremely weak, which is very regrettable.〉

〈Let me help you a little.〉

Have you drank?

A message appeared before my eyes along with a familiar voice.

[One of the hidden abilities of the Magic Eye is unlocked!]

[Now you can see the ‘path to growth’!]

* * *

‘The path to growth?’

Kim Min-woo tilted his head as he returned to the room. He heard a voice out of nowhere right before he left.

It was definitely Masin’s.

‘Are you talking to me because I have a magical eye?’

But, if that’s the case, you should have just talked to me while I was in the Demon World. You just left me with a few words right before you left and then just ended it.

“… …What is the purpose?”

It looks like they’re trying to help us out by unlocking a hidden feature called the Path of Growth.

What is the reason?

He shook his head as he pondered.

‘Okay.’

Let’s think about the complicated stuff later.

What matters is what exactly is the ability to grow along the path.

I opened Maan’s skill window.

[Ma-an (Devil’s Eye)]

[Rating: EX]

[Type: Passive]

[Effect 1. Look at the target and analyze it. The amount of analysis varies depending on the strength of the target.]

[Effect 2. When analysis is blocked, you can consume mana to see into the depths. The amount consumed varies depending on the target’s skill.]

[Effect 3. ‘Time of Seeing’ can be activated. You can see everything. It is up to you to avoid it. However, with your current body, you can only activate it for a very short time.]

[(New!) Effect 4. You can observe yourself and see the ‘path to growth’.]

Do you observe yourself and see the path to growth?

It was a vague explanation.

“Then I should try writing it myself.”

I stood in front of the mirror.

Starting from the face, the whole body was illuminated.

To be honest, I’m confident in myself because this is also rotten water when you grow up.

‘No way… … .’

It’s not a concept of listing things you already know, right?

[Use the magic eye!]

[Look at yourself in the mirror!]

[Analyzing… … .]

[Analysis complete.]

[The Path to Growth]

[1. Fill all the skeleton summons’ occupations with half combat and half production.]

[2. Enter the gate using the ‘Dragon and Witch’s Jewel’.]

[3. Hunt 8 more dragons.]

[4. ???]

.

.

“Huh?”

There are several items listed. Kim Min-woo tilted his head when he saw them.

“Is this how you grow up?”

All skeleton summons will have their jobs filled.

This certainly seemed plausible.

‘I had half-forgotten about it.’

There are a total of ten occupations that a normal skeleton can have.

Of those, only five were filled.

Warriors, blacksmiths, alchemists, rune makers, and tattoo artists.

Of course, it wasn’t that I didn’t fill it out on purpose.

The reason for leaving five seats empty.

That was because they thought that production jobs were more advantageous than combat jobs. Combat was a field in which various undead, such as legion commanders, bone dragons, and durahans, could be active, but production was a field that only skeletons could take charge of.

‘I was trying to fill it with a rare job among them.’

It can’t be helped since it’s a job I’ve had since the beginning.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * *
* * Baca Novel Korean * *
* * * Noblemtl dot com * * *
* * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Although the professions of blacksmith and alchemist were ordinary, they had inherited special skills from the dwarf and elf races.

Rune maker and tattooist.

This was a very rare job.

That’s why I was thinking of filling the remaining five positions with rare production positions.

“Isn’t that necessary?”

The path to growth required just the opposite.

It’s half combat, half production.

‘So, you’re saying we need to fill four combat positions and one production position?’

Why?

If we organize it into nine production positions and one combat position, will there be any problems later on?

“My head hurts.”

For a brief moment, I wondered if it might be a trap set by the demon.

There was no reason for Masin to do that.

‘It was my skill in the first place.’

Even if Mashin intervened, Maan is ultimately Kim Min-woo’s skill.

I’ve never heard of a story where skills hold the owner back.

Then you have to believe it.

Isn’t this supposed to be an EX-level skill?

conclusion.

“I just need to complete four battles and one production.”

But what do you fill your job with?

I had never thought about a combat job before, so I had a headache.

First of all, a skeleton warrior.

The advantage is a balanced offense and defense.

The downside is that he doesn’t have any ranged attacks. Up until now, he’s been relying on the Skeleton Mage or Merhen’s abilities to deal with long range attacks.

“Come to think of it, it’s definitely weak at long range.”

Recently, with the introduction of flying summons and bone dragons, the means to close the distance have increased considerably.

Looking at the list of summons, there was a severe lack of ranged attack summons.

‘Even Dolsoe is like that. He’s a total tank.’

Even if a Dullahan rides a horse, it still ends up being a slow walker, and while Specters can fly, they are actually just one-tools that attack with claws or close-range weapons.

The same goes for Vulcan and Cedric. They can fly, but they are basically close-range attackers.

I haven’t felt any shortcomings so far. It was because I pressed on with the specs.

‘Come to think of it, I guess I need to reinforce it.’

In terms of short and long range balance, it feels like short range is about 8 and long range is about 2.

It seemed like the skeletons’ combat skills needed to be improved upon in some way.

‘The magic is already being done by the mage, so that’s fine.’

The most important thing when filling the skeletons’ jobs.

1. Do you have a great teacher?

2. How can we keep the skeleton safe from learning anything?

These are the two.

Just looking at the captain and alchemy, it was the same. Since they learned it inside the gate, there was no need to worry about maintaining security, and since they received special race buffs for the elves and dwarves, they were also able to learn special crafting skills.

If you think about it… … .

“One combat position has been decided.”

A job that satisfies both of these.

‘Archer.’

It was an archer.

There is a teacher named Seo Ye-rim who is so excellent that she is overflowing with qualifications.

Even though they were members of the same guild, there was no need to spread rumors about them even if they taught skeletons.

Of course, unlike in the past, now that they’ve grown up, security isn’t as essential as it used to be, but it still wouldn’t hurt to keep the skeletons’ learning ability a secret.

‘Perhaps, a special skill could be developed in archery as well?’

Dwarven crafting recipe.

Elven alchemy.

Archery like this, Seo Ye-rim style.

I thought something like this might happen.

“… … But wait a minute.”

Guild members, I just thought of something.

Park Si-woo is a prosecutor, so he’s similar to Jeon Sa-rang, so I’ll pass for now.

But what about Hansia?

Hansia’s occupation is a priest.

He is also a SSS-class priest.

‘Can skeletons possibly become priests?’

Priest was also a very good job. First of all, there is healing.

There were also several means of long-range attack.

From the perspective of wanting to reinforce long-range, a priest?

It was a pretty good job.

Coincidentally, the topic of the 3rd group test was also survival.

“Do you like this?”

The only problem was that the skeletons were undead. Undead and priests were not compatible professions.

But if you think about it carefully, there is nothing that you can’t do.

Is it really necessary for a priest to believe in God?

no.

If you just received the priest skill book at the time of awakening, then you were a priest.

Look at the monsters there.

Even giants and such go around wearing heals, saying, “I’m a giant priest.” So, why can’t skeletons not be priests?

‘If it succeeds, it’s a jackpot.’

Skeleton Priests shower healing on depleted Legion Commanders?

Just imagining it makes my heart swell.

Conversely, if it failed, it was a failure.

For example, if you heal an undead, their health will decrease, or if you use a blessing, the skeleton priests will fall apart.

There were many things that came to mind.

‘I don’t know. It’s my first time, after all.’

In the first place, the skeleton is unemployed.

Formerly, it was also an element that Kim Min-woo first discovered on Earth.

Of course, I’ve never seen anything like a skeleton priest in the game.

So how do you know if it will succeed or not? I called the legion commanders and asked them, but the answer was the same.

-Skeleton Priest? What kind of mint chocolate is that? That’s a strange combination. I’ve never seen it before.

-Idiot. Mint chocolate is delicious, isn’t it?

“I don’t know. That kind of thing.”

The answers were Cedric, Merhen, and Balkan, in that order.

The bottom line is that none of them know.

“I guess I’ll have to try it myself.”

-Is that okay? If I make a mistake, I’ll end up giving up my job.

“Even so, it’s only going to be one failure out of ten, right?”

-That’s true.

Cedric shrugged.

Although I had grown attached to the skeletons while training them, except for Hae-il, they were all just soldiers. That was why I was not at the level to stop my master, whose eyes were burning with research.

I opened a guild chat room.

The most recent list of people I’ve talked to were Park Si-woo and Han Sia.

‘I guess Yerim hasn’t come yet.’

I sent her to the Celestial City with the Diamond Sponsorship Certificate, but it seems she hasn’t returned yet.

Kim Min-woo sent a message.

[Kim Min-woo]

– Mr. Sia, are you there?

[Hancia]

-Yes! What’s wrong?

[Kim Min-woo]

-I wish you would make my skull into a priest.

[Hancia]

-……yes?

[Park Si-woo]

―… … ?

[Kim Min-woo]

-I’ll go now.

The skeleton job project is about to begin.
