The Necromancer in The Novel Picks up Bones - Chapter 174



Only Noblemtl

Episode 174

Mucus spurts.

The mucus that gushed out from the commander’s body transformed into countless cells, which soon turned into flesh.

The guy spread his arms wide.

[Come.]

At the same time, something rose from the ground.

There were numerous stems. The thick stems pierced the commander, providing him with great strength.

and.

“oh…….”

The commander’s body began to grow larger.

The creature had enormous wings, but its body was still within the human category. But right now, it was completely out of that category.

– Crunch, crunch!

The legion commander grew endlessly.

He had grown so fast that his body couldn’t keep up. I could see his muscles bursting as they couldn’t support the ever-growing flesh.

But that was only for a moment, as new flesh took its place and the creature continued to grow.

“It’s gotten so big.”

He transformed into a giant of overwhelming size.

It was literally astonishing in size. It was bigger than a building, and even bigger than the Bone Dragon, Leweeken.

That wasn’t all.

– Crunch! Crunch!

The commander’s skin glowed.

Then, particles shot out from underneath, instantly enveloping the bastard’s entire body.

Particles that eventually change into an alloy.

– Kuuuung!

A massive steel giant, covered in alloy all over its body, stands tall in the desolate land.

That was the second phase of the legion commander.

[This is evolution.]

“Didn’t it just get bigger?”

Baek Sa-jun said that without realizing it.

The second phase is something that also appeared in the original work. When I saw it described in the novel, I thought it was just a giant transformation rather than an evolution.

I felt that way even more when I saw it in person.

[Even after seeing this… … .]

The commander crouched.

Kiiing! There was a tremendous roar. It was the noise of numerous machines working furiously.

His iron heart was working.

-Whoaaah!

A giant wing made of steel appeared on its back. As it flapped its wings, countless particles came out and scattered in all directions.

[Can you say that?]

The particles seeped into the surroundings.

The corpses of mutants and hunters scattered everywhere. And the moment when the particles seeped into the corpses.

– Kiiing!

– Kwajijijik!

The corpses decomposed in an instant.

The particles attached themselves to the decomposed corpse and mutated into machine parts and alloys.

Soon the corpses began to rise.

[… … .]

[… … .]

In the image of a perfect legionnaire.

Originally, it took several processes and time to transform a life into a legionnaire.

But the current commander didn’t need to do that. His Gift had evolved.

[Wow, what a power with infinite possibilities.]

That wasn’t the end.

The particles approached Baek Sa-jun and soon surrounded him. Then, the particles combined with each other and changed into a new form.

[Shoot.]

– Kwaaaaang!

With a huge number of firearms.

The firearms surrounding Baek Sa-jun began to attack simultaneously. He and his followers all deployed their defensive skills simultaneously.

LeWicken’s dragon magic also joined in.

Soon a huge explosion engulfed the area.

– Shhh! Card grab!

Beyond the explosion, particles poured in.

The particles instantly combined and transformed into blades made of alloy that struck the shield.

From a distance, there’s artillery fire, and from close range, there’s blades.

[Remove the target.]

[Baek Sa-jun.]

There, even the newly created legionnaires made of particles advanced, aiming for Baek Sa-jun.

The reason the commander did this was simple.

[Dragon. I will take your corpse. I was the one who created you. It is my duty to take your life.]

The plan was to immobilize Baek Sa-jun and his followers, and then deal with Le Wicken.

And that decision was absolutely correct.

The greatest power that Baek Sa-jun has right now is Le Wicken, who used . If that guy is destroyed and summoned back, there will be no way to resolve this situation.

[I will destroy you.]

Kuuung!

The commander began to walk. Lewicken flapped his wings to try to put some distance between them.

But the particle didn’t leave it that way.

– Crackle crackle!

– Kuuuuu… … .

Before he knew it, the particles surrounding Le Wicken had transformed into numerous drones and formed a formation.

The drones radiated tremendous amounts of energy, forming a net of lightning that surrounded Leweken.

– Kwaaaaah!

LeWicken breathed out a breath of corrosion.

The breath pierced through the net of brain matter, instantly corroding the drones beyond.

But what does that mean?

– Crackle!

The newly created drones quickly took over.

The particles surrounding LeWicken would regenerate into new drones each time they were destroyed, restoring the network.

The guy roared in anger.

‘Nano particles.’

Baek Sa-jun thought as he blocked the attack.

The name of the particle that flowed out from the commander. It was a new function that was created when the gift he had, , was strengthened by the influence of evolution.

‘In the original, it was said to be something like a very small machine that moved according to the commander’s will.’

They look like particles, but they are actually machines.

A very small machine turns corpses into legionnaires, which then combine to form larger machines.

That was the effect of nanoparticles.

Of course.

‘It has tremendous potential.’

The current legion commander has just obtained the nano particles, so he is not able to utilize them perfectly.

It was different in the original. The commander who had completely evolved and left the war had studied nano particles and had completely figured out how to use them.

It was a bonus that he became a powerful enemy.

‘I’ll kill you here before that happens.’

But is that possible?

Is there any way to kill the current Legion Commander, who has gained new abilities and become a giant of overwhelming size?

Fortunately, there was.

‘The Legion Commander has not fully evolved.’

In the original, it took longer for the Legion Commander to finish evolving than it does now.

This means that the evolution was hastily completed due to the existence of Baek Sa-jun. Even if it is incomplete, if the evolution is not completed immediately, the plan becomes unstable.

There was some basis for knowing that.

‘A stem from the seed of evolution.’

The Legion Commander does not have the ability to maintain his enlarged body and nano particles.

For now, that’s it. It’ll get better with time.

The reason the Legion Commander can maintain them now is because of the seeds of evolution.

Just like I just supplied power to the stem.

– Kwaaaaang!

‘If we continue to launch attacks of that scale.’

Particles gathering around the commander.

The particles transformed into giant weapons that fired beams of light and launched fierce attacks at Lewicken.

‘There comes a time when you need to replenish your strength. Obviously.’

The question is whether we can hold out until then.

The commander closed the distance between himself and LeWicken. In the meantime, the defensive barriers protecting Baek Sa-jun were destroyed.

It couldn’t withstand the pouring fire.

“Iria!”

– Ooooh… … !

Baek Sa-jun summoned the followers except for Le Wicken and Iria, and grabbed Iria’s hand.

Iria, who had accelerated even further due to the effect of , flew up into the sky in an instant.

At the same time, the barrage of fire that destroyed the shield completely swept away the area where Baek Sa-jun had been just a moment ago.

– Ooooh, chase after me… … !

“Yeah, they’re chasing me! Run away… Huh?”

Machines made of particles immediately chased Baek Sa-jun and Iria as they flew into the sky.

Urgent situation. Baek Sa-jun frowned.

It wasn’t because of the pursuing machines.

“What, you gave up on the concept?”

– Woof woof… … !

It was because Iria spoke.

She spread her wings and scrunched up her face as if to say, “Isn’t that the time to care?”

Blades of particles slashed at her wings.

– Card grab!

“Ugh!”

Until the successive saturation.

The nano particles were chasing Iria at a speed that could not be followed by the eyes.

Actually, now is not the time to care whether Iria spoke or not.

‘Time, I need more time.’

Baek Sa-jun must not be neutralized.

LeWicken can’t be summoned back either. To do that, we have to interfere with that legion commander somehow.

But how.

He gripped the scythe tightly in his palm.

– Ss …

– that…….

“huh?”

Iria, who had been enduring the pouring attacks while regenerating her body, pointed to Baek Sa-jun’s scythe.

He also looked at his scythe.

The scythe is shining. And it’s shining very brightly.

“This is… … .”

The moment I saw that, something came to mind.

A quest given by Thanatos. He said that if you collect enough lives, he will give you a corresponding reward.

The reward is a powerful skill.

‘Many lives have been lost here.’

How many mutants have you dealt with?

It’s more than enough to complete the quest. If this phenomenon is related to the quest.

“Anything… … .”

Baek Sa-jun raised the scythe of Thanatos high.

The scythe emits a strange light and activates the special effect, . The countless souls of the dead in this area are being forcibly drawn to his scythe.

“It’s worth a try.”

The scythe of Thanatos that reaps souls.

Meanwhile, the distance between him and Legion Commander LeWicken was shortened.

– Clang! Kiiing!

The commander, who had been firing numerous beams at LeWicken, soon reached right in front of the guy’s nose.

Particles gathered around the creature’s arm. The particles surrounding his fist transformed into an alloy that radiated electricity, transforming his fist into a giant gauntlet.

The commander threw his arms wide.

[Be destroyed.]

– Kuuuu!

A fist was fired at Leweken. Leweken pulled out all his strength and used his dragon magic to create several layers of defense barriers to block the attack.

but.

– Kwaaaaang!

Couldn’t hold out.

The moment the fist and the shield collided, a shockwave so powerful it swept away buildings on all sides.

At the same time, a storm of lightning erupted from the fist, instantly destroying LeWicken’s shield.

– Khu, wooooook… … !

The fist struck Lewicken’s body.

A body that could not withstand the impact flew away. It crashed down like a bone dragon crashing into the ground, and was pushed back greatly due to the impact it could not absorb.

– Kwarrrr!

LeWicken is stuck in the middle of the buildings.

Debris from the collapsed buildings he was involved in fell on his body. The commander extended his left arm as he surrounded Lewicken with drones again.

– Shhhh!

Particles gathered again on that arm, and transformed into a weapon made up of numerous mixed firepower.

They all aimed at Le Wicken.

[It’s unpleasant to be touched by someone else’s hands.]

A weapon that absorbs massive amounts of energy.

A blinding light enveloped the surroundings.

[Your body, I will use it again.]

LeWicken unleashed his dragon magic.

But there was no stopping him. Lewicken and the hunters watching him thought the same thing.

– Squeak… … .

Somewhere.

Until I heard the door open.

The commander of the legion who was about to destroy Le Wicken felt a strong sense of crisis for a moment. And he wondered at the fact that he felt this level of crisis.

‘A sense of crisis? The me now?’

What on earth?

The commander turned his head. What he saw in his lens was Jinjo and Baek Sajun floating in the sky.

and.

– You have had enough life.

– Thanatos blesses you. The mighty power of the Underworld seeps into you… … .

– congratulations!

A giant ‘door’ appears in the air.

A horrifyingly shaped door, entangled with countless souls and skeletons, stood tall behind Baek Sa-jun.

– Learned the skill, .

A deep smile appeared on Baek Sa-jun’s lips.
