The Necromancer in The Novel Picks up Bones - Chapter 110
Only Noblemtl
Episode 110
The situation was hopeless.
The monsters’ onslaught was literally endless. If you kill one, two will follow, and if two kill, four will follow.
The enemies were replenished endlessly.
“Fuck! Fuck! Shoot! Shoot me!”
“The magic weapon has been destroyed… Kkaaaak!”
“Brother Youngho! Euuuu… Euaaaah!”
The number of monsters is in the hundreds of thousands.
It wasn’t a number that could be stopped by a few thousand or so hunters. No matter how many arrows they shot, how many magic they used, or how many enemies they cut down climbing the wall.
The absolute numerical difference was unavoidable.
“Wall 5! The West has fallen!”
“The East too… … !”
“Monsters are flocking to the World Tree!”
Bad news was heard from all sides.
As the last bastion, Wall 5, collapsed, monsters began to invade the city.
– Kihaaaa!
“Eww!”
“Gyaaaah! Sa, save me!”
The hunters lined up in front of the collapsed wall and tried to block the monsters, but it was impossible.
It was not an offensive that could be stopped.
Despair appeared on everyone’s faces.
“Damn, what the heck is this because of that necromancer!”
“Isn’t it too late to complain?”
“Shut up!”
Isomin tried to shoot an arrow.
But even her arrows were depleted. She cursed and stabbed the rushing monster with her bow.
Kwaaang! Yoon Sang-goo pushed the monster away with his shield.
“Inspiration! Give me some arrows!”
“Heh heh, do you have any arrows or something? Just pick them out from the heads of the dead guys over there and use them!”
“This is driving me crazy!”
Everything dries up.
All the hunters who participated in the were regretting it. They shouldn’t have come to Busan, they shouldn’t have come to this city.
It was all too late for regret.
“Hehe, it’s too late to back out! This old man with not much time left has made the worst mistake! Let’s find a way out, Defenders!”
“What kind of life is this!”
There is no hope in this city.
The guilds, including the Defenders, each gathered together and tried to find a way out.
Even if it’s meaningless.
“Hoo, hoo… … .”
In front of the northern barrier.
Lee Hyuk-woon was standing alone on top of the corpses of countless monsters. Unlike his usual routine of finishing battles without any major injuries, his entire body was covered in injuries.
These were injuries sustained in endless battles.
‘Your body is at its limit. Can you hold out any longer?’
Lee Hyuk-woon quickly assessed the situation.
The state of my body, the number of enemies rushing in. I don’t know how many monsters I’ve killed since yesterday.
Did you catch more than a thousand?
– There is a way to solve this situation. But it is not enough. We need more time.
Suddenly, I remembered what Baek Sa-jun had said.
What he said the last night they met. Lee Hyuk-woon let out a deep sigh as if he was tired.
“Was he someone whose skills you couldn’t even trust?”
Did I trust someone I shouldn’t trust?
Lee Hyuk-woon looked around, regretting having said that Baek Sa-jun’s skills were trustworthy.
His colleagues were also pushed to their limits.
The same was true for Lee Hyuk-woon.
“Baek Sa-jun… … .”
I can’t die here.
If you die here, you can’t change the future. It’s okay for now, but when the moment comes that your life is truly in danger, you have no choice but to change your mind.
“… This time, I will help you as much as I can.”
But there are things we have seen so far.
He saw an unexpected being called Baek Sa-jun change the future. That’s why Lee Hyuk-woon summoned all his remaining strength one last time.
A violent thunder rumbled around.
“Hmm, what an unexpected man.”
The Emperor smiled when he saw that.
Lee Hyuk-woon and Baek Sa-jun. Although they hadn’t seen each other for very long, their relationship was very strange.
They are not only wary of each other, they are hostile to each other. But they also trust each other’s abilities.
“Is this a crooked relationship of trust? Cool!”
It was quite interesting to watch.
The Emperor vomited blood from his mouth. His body had reached its limit, and his vision was blurry.
But I couldn’t rest.
– Push profit!
– Kuoooooo!
Named monsters approached from the front. A melter that melted everything it touched, and a giant corpse spewing lava from its entire body.
Other named people were targeting the Emperor.
“This could be my grave.”
The Emperor took up his sword.
The named men roared at him. The Sword Emperor strengthened his resolve as he watched them approach.
At that very moment.
“… … !”
The Emperor turned his head.
It was because I felt an enormous force right behind me. A force I had never felt before.
It was a power that flowed from the World Tree.
and.
-Whaaaaaaah!
Light enveloped all directions.
The light that flowed from the World Tree. The bodies of the named monsters that touched it disappeared in an instant.
The dragon that tried to swallow the Emperor, the giant corpse that spewed lava, and even other monsters.
All of them, without leaving a single one behind.
“Lee Hyuk-woon, you were right.”
It is said that even though Baek Sa-jun is not a person you can trust, you can trust his skills.
The Emperor smiled.
“It was worth the time.”
Light filled the field of vision.
* * *
Light enveloped everything.
There were hunters who desperately fought off the monsters, and there were those who collapsed with serious injuries.
And even the monsters that invade the city.
After a while.
-Whaaaaah!
– Oh, ahhhhh… … !
– My, my body!
Something unbelievable happened.
The bodies of the monsters that were touched by the light began to disappear. From head to toe. As if they had never existed in this world in the first place.
The monsters were disappearing.
“Look over there!”
“Now, monsters outside the barrier!”
It wasn’t just the monsters inside the city.
The monsters that had been surging in from outside like a tidal wave also disappeared. The giant monsters at the forefront, and the monsters that had been covering the sky.
And the named ones that attacked from all sides.
Finally, even the obelisks.
– Ss …
Their bodies scattered like fog.
As the monsters disappeared, a red fog covered the sky. But that was only for a moment, as the light from the World Tree dispelled even the fog.
“What, what is it? What the hell is going on?”
“The monsters… have all disappeared.”
“What, what is growing?”
Hundreds of thousands of monsters disappeared.
All that is visible is an empty ruin. But that is only for a moment, as something grows on the ground where the light has passed.
Nature like trees, flowers, and grass.
Life was blossoming.
“The World Tree… … .”
It all started with the World Tree.
Everyone’s eyes turned to the World Tree. To where Baek Sa-jun was fighting the vampires.
But the vampires were nowhere to be seen.
Except for one thing, Letum.
“Khaaak! Keuk, woof, woof… … !”
Letum’s condition was dire.
His whole body literally melted. He struggled to get up, but couldn’t.
Because my arms and legs were gone.
“Oh my, this can’t be happening… restoration, already!”
All other vampires were destroyed.
The reason Letum was still alive was because he was a powerful vampire. Since he had received blood directly from Jinjo, his vitality was also superior.
But what does that mean?
“It’ll probably be a long time before it’s restored… …!”
“Oh, that would have been the case if I didn’t have that item.”
“Khuuuk!”
Letum’s bloodshot eyes looked at the World Tree.
Yoo Seong-ah standing in front of him. The soul box in her hand was turned to dust and disappeared.
It was destroyed because it could not withstand the aftereffects of . Still, I guess my role was completed.
“As the monsters surged in like a tidal wave, there were plenty of souls to feed. And your subordinates came too.”
Baek Sa-jun stood right in front of Letum.
Then he created a number of bone arrows and pierced Letum’s entire body without hesitation.
“Ugh, ugh… … !”
“don’t worry.”
The rest of Letum’s body also began to disappear.
It completely drained its vitality. Baek Sa-jun declared as he watched the disappearing face of the bastard.
“Your master will follow you soon.”
“Fuck, eat… … .”
Letum disappeared into the fog.
All the vampires disappeared. Baek Sa-jun looked around the city with a sigh filled with blood.
The city was destroyed by an onslaught of monsters.
but.
“The monsters have all disappeared.”
The monsters were gone.
It was the effect of the world tree.
– The World Tree has regained all its power.
– The power of life purifies everything. Monsters created by the Red Moon disappear.
The monsters in Busan were not naturally occurring, but were created by the Red Moon.
The power of the World Tree was purifying them.
But the message wasn’t over yet. There was more to come. Baek Sa-jun looked up at the sky.
– The World Tree pulls down the red moon.
A turquoise light emanated from the World Tree. The light transformed into a giant tree branch and approached the red moon floating high in the sky.
and.
“All, the moon… … .”
“Am I hallucinating right now?”
The branches pulled down the red moon.
The red moon descended with a huge roar, reaching the place where it originally appeared.
Busan Metropolitan City Hall, and the sky there.
– You can now approach the Red Moon.
– The life force weakens the red moon for a while. You must go to where all the events first occurred and destroy the red moon to end this event.
– The passage opens.
– Time left: 15 days.
Baek Sa-jun sighed.
It was a sigh that came out without me knowing.
“There won’t be any time to rest.”
My eyes became dizzy.
* * *
The monster offensive is over.
But the damage was enormous. The city was destroyed and there were many casualties.
The only good thing is that people’s injuries were healed thanks to the light of the World Tree.
“How many people died?”
“We’re still figuring it out, but I’d say at the very least it’s probably in the thousands.”
“I see.”
There was nothing I could do about the dead.
Considering the number of monsters that swarmed the city, the damage was so minimal that it was almost a miracle.
But what does that mean to the dead, their families and friends?
“Prepare to honor the souls of the deceased.”
“I will do that.”
That was the best the Emperor could do.
“I’ve returned from patrolling the area! The monster nests in the Seomyeon area have been neutralized! And the monsters on the streets… …!”
“I haven’t confirmed it yet, but the number of monsters in other areas has also decreased significantly.”
The light emitted by the World Tree did not stop at the Seomyeon area but spread throughout the entire Busan.
The power of life purified the monsters and removed the bloody fog that had spread throughout Busan.
Until the red moon was brought down there.
“They said the World Tree would be the hope to overcome the apocalypse, and it really was.”
The Emperor looked at the World Tree.
The world tree’s turquoise energy enveloped the entire city. It was a barrier to block enemies, but its strength was incomparable to that of the past.
‘The city is half destroyed. But with this wall, it won’t be difficult to defend the city.’
Because the number of monsters has also decreased significantly.
Now there was only one thing left to do.
“Where is Baek Sa-jun?”
“I heard that he is resting at the World Tree. How should I send someone to call him?”
“No, that’s fine. I’ll do it myself… … .”
The Emperor was heading towards the World Tree.
But his footsteps soon stopped.
-Whaaaaah!
It had to be that way.
Without any warning, a giant portal appeared right in front of him.
A portal that leads to an unknown destination.
