The Necromancer in The Novel Picks up Bones - Chapter 170
Only Noblemtl
Episode 170
Anyway, what’s left are bones.
We caught an overwhelming number of mutants in this offensive. We had the undead pick up their bones, and the numbers were enormous.
“I didn’t know I would end up writing it all to him.”
Originally, I was planning to use it for Le Wicken and then divide it appropriately among the other members.
But plans changed.
I have to give it all to Le Wicken.
– Kuuuuu… … .
Baek Sa-jun looked at the hatchling in front of him.
A hatchling larger than a human, surrounded by a huge number of bones.
It was a bone containing a gift or skill.
– That’s too much bone to use for one group. Would you like to use it?
It must have been so bad that the message was a warning.
Of course, there was no need to hesitate.
– LeWicken absorbs bones.
The numerous bones scattered around Leweken were broken down. The enormous amount of bone dust created was absorbed by Leweken.
After a while, a change occurred.
-Whaaaaaaah!
A black scam that erupts around Le Wicken.
And when the dust settled.
“oh…….”
Baek Sa-jun sensed the change.
He immediately opened LeWicken’s status window.
[LeWicken]
· Race: Bone Hatchling.
· Gift (1/5): Rapid growth.
· Strength: A · Agility: A
· Stamina: A · Morale: A
· Skills held (0/7): None.
· Race Skills: Bone Hatchling, Dragon’s Breath, Magic Immunity, Fear, Advanced Magic.
All abilities are A grade.
It was on the same level as Jinjoin Iria. Even though she was a hatchling who hadn’t fully grown yet, she was at this level.
What was surprising was the gifts and racial skills.
[Rapid growth]
· Rating: Unique.
· When this hatchling grows up, it uses the power of ‘life’ it has been handling to rapidly grow itself. It can take the form of a bone dragon for a short time.
· All abilities are strengthened by 2 stages.
· Race skills are strengthened, and a new ‘Dragon Language Magic’ that can only be used when you are a Bone Dragon is opened.
[Bone Hatchling (P)]
· Grade: Top.
· An undead created from the corpse of a hatchling. Although it has not yet reached its full power, it is still powerful. It has awakened some of the powers according to its color.
· All abilities are strengthened by 1 level.
· Skill and gift power +80%, defense +60%.
· It has a near-infinite amount of fraud.
· +2 to the number of gifts and skills you can hold.
Rapid growth.
Baek Sa-jun looked at the hatchling in front of him. So, this guy grew as big as a dragon.
I don’t think it will last long.
The passive skill of this hatchling was also strong. It felt like a superior version of the Dragon Tooth Soldier of the Skeleton.
‘Still, it would be good to use it as a last resort.’
There were also several other racial skills.
· Skill, ‘Dragon’s Breath’: Exhales a powerful breath that corrodes everything it touches.
· Skill, ‘Magic Immunity’: Always has 70% magic resistance, and when using the skill, becomes completely immune to magic for a certain period of time.
· Skill, ‘Fear’: Lets out a roar that frightens creatures weaker than you. Enemies that are frightened are subject to various debuffs.
Baek Sa-jun nodded.
There was no need to say anything more.
“Good.”
If you think about how it would be further strengthened by using rapid growth here, it was a level that needed no explanation.
If there’s just one thing I regret.
“It looks a bit ambiguous to ride… … .”
– Kuuuuu… … .
That was the part.
It is the size of a person, but it is a bit small to climb onto for flying purposes.
Should I say I’m anxious?
‘It would be perfect if I were to ride it and then fall off.’
Baek Sa-jun clicked his tongue.
It can only be used for riding purposes when rapid growth is used. In any case, a good means of counterattacking enemies attacking from the air has been created.
I decided to be satisfied with that.
“Okay, then.”
Baek Sa-jun stretched deeply.
The surrounding area has been roughly cleaned up.
“Let’s go back to the safe zone.”
– Crunch.
There won’t be much time to rest.
Still, there should be time to rest for a day or so. Baek Sa-jun forced his tired body to move.
***
The offensive is over.
Baek Sa-jun, who returned to the safe zone, left the rest to Yoon Seung-woo. Then, after giving orders to Iria, he fell asleep as if he had fainted.
My body felt so heavy that I couldn’t bear it any longer.
“Ugh, I’m tired… … .”
I fell into a deep sleep like that one night, but the fatigue that had built up in my body barely went away.
Baek Sa-jun forced himself to sit up.
Given the circumstances, I couldn’t rest comfortably. The end of this place wasn’t over yet.
“You’re awake. I’ve been waiting for you.”
“Oh. Nothing happened last night, right?”
“yes.”
Yoon Seung-woo welcomed Baek Sa-jun.
Baek Sa-jun looked at the extent of the damage the people had suffered. The damage was surprisingly small compared to the scale of the attack, but it was not nonexistent.
“One of the safe zones suffered heavy damage. It was a place where the enemy’s offensive was particularly strong… … .”
[Half of the people are dead. The other half survived, but will need time to recover.]
Yoon Seung-woo and Han Seo-kyung reported it like this.
After taking out the various damages, the number of hunters that could move was as follows.
“About two thousand people.”
[I don’t write it down.]
“hmm…….”
That’s roughly what it was, after removing the minimum number of people needed to defend the safe zone.
Baek Sa-jun was lost in thought.
[Can you wait until you recover?]
“no.”
Baek Sa-jun shook his head at Han Seo-gyeong’s words.
There is no time for that.
“We have to move now.”
Baek Sa-jun looked beyond, at the guild house of light where the seed of evolution was floating on the rooftop.
There is a commander over there.
“We’ve dealt with the most difficult named legionnaires, so the defenses there should be pretty weak. If we wait for them to recover, we might miss our chance.”
[surely.]
“I guess so.”
Yoon Seung-woo and Han Seo-kyung both thought the same thing.
The enemy’s defenses are already weak. Rather than waiting to replenish their forces, it is better to take risks and launch a counterattack.
“There’s a card there.”
“The card… is that it?”
“okay.”
Yoon Seung-woo looked at Le Wicken, who was standing next to Baek Sa-jun. The hatchling, which was only the size of a person and had only bones, was looking at him silently.
It’s quite a creepy sight.
“You just stare at me without saying a word.”
“I get scared sometimes too.”
Since the subordination has been strengthened, there is an ego, but it is too quiet for such a thing.
Baek Sa-jun looked at the skeleton beside him. The skeleton tilted its head as it received its master’s gaze.
– Huh?
“Well, it will get better with time.”
The skeleton is also problematic because its ego is so distinct.
Baek Sa-jun headed to the rooftop of the safe zone. While going up, he saw many people belonging to the safe zone moving around busily.
“What about the surroundings? What about the mutants?”
“I checked as far as I could, but I can barely see it. It looks like it has withdrawn. I think it may have gone to the Green Zone.”
“You wouldn’t know where it went.”
“Yes. I will check until then… … .”
It would not have been easy to confirm that the enemy’s offensive had been barely stopped.
There was no need to check it.
‘I guess he went to the Guild House of Glory.’
Baek Sa-jun stood on the rooftop, yawning.
Then, a red fog approached from afar and soon took shape. It was Jinjo, Iria.
– Woof woof… … .
Iria handed over the paper.
It was a piece of paper with a drawing of the situation around the Guild House of Glory. How many enemies there were, and what kind of defenses they had in place.
“The guild house is surrounded by railroad tracks?”
– Woof woof.
The building was turned into a fortress.
Was it a skill that came with the Legion Commander’s Gift? It’s a skill that turns the surrounding area into a fortress covered in machines, but it’s quite annoying because it adds a defensive measure.
There is no special strategy.
‘There is no choice but to destroy it by force.’
This is the simplest and most reliable method.
Baek Sa-jun looked at the contents of the paper.
‘Are you blocking my way?’
A significant number of enemies were guarding the path leading to the Green Zone, where the Guild House of Radiance was located.
As if to prevent anyone from entering.
‘The guild house is also quite heavily guarded.’
There are even enemies guarding the guild house.
The number of mutants was still large. This must be because they gathered all the ones from all over Daejeon.
‘Instead, the number of difficult legionnaires has decreased.’
Having a lot of mutants is actually a good thing.
Because it is an opportunity to dominate in large numbers using . Of course, there is also a possibility that the Legion Commander knows about the existence of this item and is on guard separately.
‘This should be enough.’
Time is not much.
Baek Sa-jun quickly made a decision.
“I’m moving this evening.”
“yes.”
Now is your chance to end the apocalypse.
***
Daejeon’s Green Zone was quiet.
Until recently, it was a place where many people lived, but now there is no one to be seen.
All you see are mutants.
– Crack, crack… … .
– Ugh… … .
A large number of mutants were roaming the streets.
They were once human, but are now monsters and can no longer be called human.
They walked along screaming.
[… … .]
[Enemy, not found.]
If there were mutants on the ground, there were legionaries in the sky. They were flying through the sky, keeping an eye out for approaching enemies.
The screams of the mutants, the mechanical sounds of the legionnaires.
These were the only sounds heard here, and a terrible silence reigned over the entire Green Zone.
– Kwaaaaaaaang!
That was until the explosion occurred.
A loud explosion shattered the silence. The mutants and the legionnaires simultaneously looked toward the source of the sound.
A road with a huge plume of smoke rising from it.
– Ss …
What can be seen through the smoke are numerous corpses.
Mutants that had been blown up by the powerful explosion were scattered all over the place. And at the center of it all, Baek Sa-jun was standing there, emitting a thick aura.
Fraud dwells in the corpses.
“good.”
– Ghhhhhhh!
Corpses that are resurrected as undead.
A large number of undead began to charge at their master’s command. They were headed to only one place.
They were mutants blocking the way.
– Kuoooooo!
– Okay, okay… … !
Clashing undead and mutants.
There was no need to worry about winning or losing. The mutants were no match for the undead who had been given various buffs.
The undead cleared the way for their master, crushing the mutants that stood in their way.
[Baek Sa-jun… … !]
[Target discovered, report to the commander!]
The legionnaires became aware of Baek Sa-jun’s presence.
They approached him from a certain distance in the sky, and soon prepared to attack.
It is an attempt to launch an offensive from the sky.
“It was a good decision to create a clan.”
This would have been a tricky situation originally.
But not now. Baek Sa-jun had a new subordinate he had acquired yesterday.
– Kiiiiiing!
Magical power rose from the legionnaires.
All sorts of magic and weapons were aiming for Baek Sa-jun and were about to fire. Soon, the legionnaires who had generated enough magic power began to attack.
– Kuuuuu… … !
[… … !]
To be exact, I was trying to spread it.
If it weren’t for the breath that was shot before that.
– Krrrr… Hwaaaaah!
A black breath made of vicious fraud shot out. The breath split the sky in an instant, and fell upon the legionnaires who were trying to attack Baek Sa-jun.
Okay then.
– Pushy profit!
[nice……!]
The bodies of the legionnaires began to decay.
The parts that were touched by the black breath rusted instantly, and then soon rotted and fell off.
The bodies of the legionnaires, the circuits hidden within them, and the sources of their magical power were all the same.
[Ahhhhhh!]
[My, body… …!]
Phew!
The legionnaires whose entire bodies were corroded exploded in an instant. There was no time to react or resist.
That was what the dragon’s breath was like.
[Uh, that’s… … .]
Luckily, the legionnaires who were out of the range of the black breath raised their heads.
What he sees in those eyes is a hatchling made of bones.
LeWicken growled.
“Destroy them all.”
– Kwaaaaah!
A roar of rage filled the Green Zone.
