The Necromancer in The Novel Picks up Bones - Chapter 133



Only Noblemtl

Episode 133

Work was in full swing underground in the mine.

The work to turn a newly-built mine into a mining facility. The one leading the charge was Song Kang-gil, the successor to Lupus.

“How far has the work progressed?”

“The installation of the mining equipment is not yet complete. It seems to be about 60% complete.”

“It’s later than I thought.”

Song Kang-gil frowned.

He was already a man with a cold impression, but when he frowned, he seemed even sharper.

“Can’t you do it faster?”

“The workers are demanding a break. They have been working for a week without a break… … .”

“Rest? What nonsense.”

Song Kang-gil clicked his tongue. He was talking about taking a break when he couldn’t even get the mine up and running quickly.

In a world as devastated as this, I can’t thank you enough for providing stable jobs.

“Vice President.”

A middle-aged man approaches Song Kang-gil, who is feeling dissatisfied. Park Min-gyu, a man who has worked for and been trusted by Lupus Corporation since its inception.

He whispered in my ear.

“The work that required specialized personnel has been completed. We have sent them to their quarters, so now… … .”

“I guess you can use my gift.”

“Yes. The remaining work will be done by replaceable workers. Even if they suffer the side effects of the gift, you know that, Vice President.”

“Can I just throw it away?”

Gift, .

It is a gift possessed by Song Kang-gil that increases the physical abilities of those within a certain range beyond their limits.

A gift that increases work efficiency by making the user follow commands while losing their ease.

However, once the effect wears off, major side effects occur, both physical and mental… … .

“If there are many replacements available, then we don’t have to worry about it. Let’s gather the workers. Once everyone is gathered, I will personally use the gift.”

“All right.”

Park Min-gyu steps back with a smile.

Song Kang-gil looked down at the workers who were working tirelessly and snorted in displeasure.

“I don’t have time to stay here like this.”

We need to build up more achievements.

Song Kang-gil is not the only successor to the Lupus Corporation. There are other successors as well.

Among them, Song Kang-gil is the most advanced, but this situation may change at any time.

‘We need to achieve more quickly.’

This was the reason Song Kang-gil commanded this mine.

He closed his eyes, calmed his mind, and waited for the workers to gather at the designated location.

That was when.

– Kwaaaaang!

“… … !”

There was a tremendous noise.

At the same time, there was a vibration that shook the ground. Song Kang-gil looked around with his eyes wide open.

“What’s going on! An explosion?! CCTV!”

“Here you go!”

Song Kang-gil urgently checked the situation on the ground.

“what’s this…….”

What he saw in those eyes was hell.

Literally, hell. How else could I describe this sight? Nothing came to mind.

– Huh, huhhhh!

– Oh, don’t come! I told you not to come!

– Khaaaaah!

The sound of countless horse hooves was heard.

It was the sound of the ghost horses that covered the ground charging forward. They stepped on the mercenaries blocking their path as they advanced. The mercenaries who fell in this way were then trampled and crushed by the ghost horses that charged forward.

Does that mean I can be safe if I avoid it?

– Shhh!

That wasn’t it either.

The knights riding on ghost horses threw their spears at the fleeing mercenaries without hesitation.

– Phew!

– Ugh, ugh… … !

As the spear shot through the mercenary, it emitted a bright light and absorbed the mercenary’s life force.

A mercenary who dies in an instant and turns into a mummy.

Such mercenaries were plentiful everywhere.

“What the hell am I looking at?”

Song Kang-gil’s voice trembled.

The Soul Knights roamed the earth as if it were their own, mercilessly killing people.

“No matter how you look at it, it’s a boss monster. Why is there a group of monsters here… No, an undead type monster like that is appearing in Gumi City?”

“Yes, the one summoned by the necromancer is… … .”

“That’s stupid!”

Song Kang-gil shouted at the employee’s words.

“Who is the necromancer who can handle undead of that level to that extent! It has to be the Ten Heroes… Even the Ten Heroes have a grudge against us… .”

Song Kang-gil felt a strong headache.

There’s no way the ten girls would be targeting this place. In the first place, didn’t that woman disappear for some unknown reason?

It would be correct to view it as a naturally occurring monster.

“Why aren’t the defense facilities operational?”

“Well, I don’t know. I don’t know why, but the defense facilities aren’t working… … .”

“What nonsense are you talking about!”

All kinds of defensive facilities were installed on the surface of the mine, but none of them were in operation.

The ground forces were also trying to operate somehow, but the defense facilities did not move at all.

As if someone had cut the power.

“Hey, guards! What are the defense forces doing? Get up there and stop those monsters!”

“Oh, I understand!”

The troops guarding the mine hurriedly moved up.

Now is not the time to be guarding the inside of the mine. If those monsters enter the mine, they may all die with no way to escape.

We have to stop it before that.

– Gather around!

– Prepare your magic! Target those horses first!

– Warriors, forward! Defense skills first!

Lupus’ guards took up formation.

They deployed a barrier to block the knights, and the wizards hastily prepared various spells.

The tyrant saw that and laughed.

– Kwaaaaang!

The Tyrant’s halberd struck the ground.

Then a huge shockwave occurred, shattering the Lupus guards who had erected the barrier.

The bastard opened his left hand and burst into flames.

– Come here!

“Ooh, ewaaaah!”

A strange energy rising from the left hand.

The energy transformed into numerous chains, grabbing and dragging the guards and mercenaries around.

Right in front of the tyrant.

– Khaaaaah!

“… … !”

Kkwaduk!

What awaited them was the halberd. The halberd, imbued with an ominous aura, crushed the enemies.

Then their corpses were possessed by souls, and soon they became undead and joined his army.

– Go… kill all the living!

– Oh my!

Undead charging at the tyrant’s command.

He and the Knights of the Soul were increasing their army by killing their enemies and taking them as subordinates.

The mercenaries were terrified at the sight.

“Ah, no matter how I look at it, it’s a boss monster!”

“How can you deal with something like that!”

“I, I won’t do it!”

“What! If you run away, I won’t let you go!”

The mercenaries began to flee.

You were hired for money anyway. If you abandon your job and run away, your credit will suffer greatly, but your life is more important than that.

One, right then.

– Ss …

Someone appeared through the fog.

A figure made of red fog. Just as the mercenaries were about to show their guard, a face appeared from the red fog. A pale, withered face.

The face whispered.

[Fight and die.]

Ominous whispers.

Some of the mercenaries tilted their heads as if wondering what was going on. But the other mercenaries.

– Phew!

“Khuuuk… … ?!”

“You, you little punk! What are you doing!”

As if waiting for an order, he stabbed the heart of his comrade next to him with his weapon.

A comrade who dies instantly from an unexpected blow.

The mercenary who saw the sight was astonished.

But it was too early to be shocked.

“Eww!”

“Hey, wait a minute… Uwaaaah!”

“Die! Die!”

The same thing happened around me.

Gift, the mercenaries who fell for started attacking their comrades with their eyes turning red.

Since they could not just die, the attacked mercenaries began to counterattack and soon chaos broke out.

A vicious cycle of killing and killing each other.

– Haha, haha… … .

Iria laughed at them and disappeared into the fog, soon turning to the other mercenaries.

To further add to the confusion.

“This, this… is not right.”

“Vice President?”

Song Kang-gil, who was watching the series of scenes, shook his head with a frightened face.

It’s dangerous. If you stay here, you don’t know what will happen to you. Before that happens… … .

– Use the item, .

I have to get out of here.

Song Kang-gil used the item he had, the Ring of Transference. It is an item that allows you to move to a designated location within a certain radius.

If you just have this.

– An unknown force interferes with the transfer.

“what?!”

But, it was impossible.

The light emitted by the Ring of Transfer disappeared as if it had been absorbed by something. Song Kang-gil was shocked when he saw that.

“The transfer was interrupted? Who on earth… … .”

Something incomprehensible is happening.

Song Kang-gil stared blankly at the situation on the ground, wrapping his hand around the ring of transfer that had lost its light.

For a long time, without stopping.

* * *

When Song Kang-gil was in despair in the basement.

“The transfer was interrupted.”

A group of Hunters were hiding near a mine that had been ravaged by a Tyrant and a Ghost Knight Order.

They were assassins affiliated with the Magina Corporation.

“I checked. You said it was you who made it?”

“Yes. You helped create it. You used Gift and Amplification to enhance its effects.”

“You’ve gotten better than before.”

What prevented Song Kang-gil from activating space transfer was the effect of the item amplified by Yoo Seong-ah.

It’s an item that disrupts the flow of magic when transfer magic is activated, and its effect is amazing.

“Did your experience in Busan help you a lot?”

And something even more surprising happened.

The assassins checked the situation inside the mine. Their faces were all filled with shock.

It had to be that way.

“That’s amazing. Is that the power that an individual can wield?”

“It would be possible only if it is at the named level.”

As I watched the undead sweeping through the mine, my whole body trembled in fear.

A necromancer who can handle hundreds of undead on his own. This is impossible for anyone other than those who are called named among the necromancers in the world.

But that was happening right before my eyes.

“Whatever it is, it’s gorgeous. If anything, it seems a bit more gorgeous than I expected.”

“Wouldn’t that be a good thing, since we’d be more visible? No one would care about us.”

“Okay. Activate the suit.”

The assassins activated their suits.

The sound of the magic stone being activated was heard, and magical power spread throughout the suit. A type of armor developed by Lupus Corporation that enhances physical abilities.

I felt my body accelerating.

“Song Kang-gil, that bastard’s transfer has been blocked. You may have come this far because you had an item you believed in, but… you will realize that your judgment was wrong.”

“You remember the internal geography, right? Everyone, hide.”

The assassins disappeared.

Their new form quickly leapt over the barrier and headed into the chaos-filled interior of the mine.

“Finish it quickly.”

The new type of assassins quickly disappeared.

And after a while.

– Aaaah!

A desperate scream was heard from inside the mine.

* * *

Baek Sa-jun was watching the situation in the mine from a distance.

The ground is in ruins. The assassins have gone underground.

And after about 10 minutes.

– The duration of ‘The Tyrant’s Return’ has ended.

– Tyrants and Soul Knights disappear.

The Soul Knights that swept across the earth have disappeared.

It was because the duration had ended. As the enemies they had been opposing disappeared, the guards and mercenaries of the Lupus Corporation were seen to be greatly confused.

“The performance is certain.”

Baek Sa-jun looked at the cane and admired it.

The short duration is a shortcoming, but the effects of are so great that it’s worth it.

In addition to summoning a force of about 200,300 Soul Knights, there is also an option to have those killed by the Soul Knights become undead and join the army.

It was an incredibly powerful option.

“I wonder what the Chairman will give us as compensation.”

The situation is over.

Baek Sa-jun looked down at the chaos on the ground and thought about what kind of compensation he could receive.
