The Necromancer in The Novel Picks up Bones - Chapter 176



Only Noblemtl

Episode 176

Thanatos’ scythe cut through the iron heart.

The steel heart is different from a normal heart. It has enough durability to withstand most attacks.

But Baek Sa-jun’s attack could not be withstood.

[This can’t be happening…]

It was because of the effect of Thanatos’ Scythe.

The effect of converting fraud into attack power, and the effect of ignoring high defense power of up to 50%.

There was enough leftover to expose the steel heart for energy replenishment.

[Evolution, my, wish… … .]

Baek Sa-jun let out a ragged breath, his scythe hanging down. Suddenly, he felt someone staring at him and raised his head, only to see the commander looking in his direction.

He’s trying to say something.

[Baek, Sajun. In the end, the end is… … .]

“Okay, then just die.”

The scythe decapitated the legion commander.

I have no intention of listening to the cursed will until the end. The commander, whose heart was shattered and whose throat was cut, glared at Baek Sa-jun with eyes full of resentment.

And after a while.

– Kki, kikik, kieeeeing… … .

The commander stopped with a strange noise.

It was completely destroyed. Baek Sa-jun let out a sigh of relief only after confirming that the bastard was dead.

“It’s so fucking hard.”

The Legion Commander is dead. The monster that transformed countless people into Legion members and caused great damage to achieve the goal of evolution is dead.

Baek Sa-jun looked at the bastard’s corpse.

– Shoooooo… … .

Smoke poured out of the commander’s large body.

At the same time, the bastard’s body shrank and he returned to the appearance of the legion commander that Baek Sa-jun knew.

It wasn’t exactly the same. The creature was half machine, half mutant, due to the effects of evolution.

“What does that matter?”

He’s already dead.

Baek Sa-jun exhaled with a face full of blood. He no longer had the strength to move his body.

Still, just in case, I decided to completely destroy the commander’s body. There was a chance.

“Um, this is… … .”

As Baek Sa-jun was collecting his sickle, he discovered an unexpected reward in the corpse of the legion commander.

It was a bone.

[Bone of the Legion Commander (Unique)]

· A bone imbued with the power of the commander. When used, it grants the gift ‘Heart of Steel’ to one of its followers.

· Gift, ‘Heart of Steel’: Turns the owner’s body into a machine. Growth as a living being becomes impossible, but instead, you can use special ‘goods’ to modify your own machine body. You can also turn other people’s bodies into machines… … .

* Warning: If you give this gift to a servant, the servant’s race will change to ‘Machine’. Also, you will no longer be able to give bones.

· Special Effect: When used to strengthen a group, special powers are released to the group.

The Legion Commander’s Gift, a bone containing a ‘heart of steel’.

Originally, there wouldn’t have been any bones from the commander. His entire body was made of machines.

This bone was dropped because it evolved into a form that was a mixture of machine and organism.

“It’s good, but this… … .”

When I read the gift description, my head started hurting.

“It can’t be used for the purpose of giving.”

There are so many things that are tricky, starting with goods.

The Legion Commander wasn’t obsessed with evolution for nothing. was certainly a powerful Gift, but it required too many things to become stronger.

The limit was clear there.

‘Should I use it to release special powers?’

That looked better.

I decided to think about who to give it to later. Now is not the time to worry about that.

Baek Sa-jun raised his head.

– Gooooo… … .

Beyond that, I saw a giant seed.

It is the seed of evolution. Killing the commander does not solve the end of the war.

I have to destroy that seed.

-Whaaaaaaah!

The seed gave off the breath of evolution.

A message appeared before Baek Sa-jun’s eyes. It was a message indicating the time left until he would mutate.

“Oh, yeah. The skeleton was destroyed.”

It was because the that had been protecting the body had disappeared. Since the monster’s shell was destroyed, it had to accept the energy of evolution with its bare body.

Baek Sa-jun looked around.

‘I feel strange.’

Baek Sa-jun looked around.

It was a situation where there was not a single person by his side. In particular, the empty space in the skeleton felt strange.

He looked at the fragments of his followers that were around him. They would be restored anyway with time.

“Come to me.”

– Keeheehee!

I don’t have the energy to summon undead right now.

Baek Sa-jun summoned the evil spirits from the gates of the underworld. They possessed the bodies of corpses and mutants and began to move according to his commands.

He walked slowly.

“Move. Follow me.”

There is only one destination.

Where the seeds of evolution lie. He also noticed that Baek Sa-jun was approaching him.

The body of the seed shook violently.

-Whaaaaah!

The seeds of evolution have begun their final struggle.

The energy he emitted reached the mutants all over Daejeon. Then, the mutants turned around and ran hurriedly towards the place where the seeds were.

It’s about protecting the seeds.

‘Useless fussing.’

Baek Sa-jun snorted.

Just then a familiar voice was heard nearby.

“Mr. Baek Sa-jun! Are you okay?”

“Oh, what about you?”

“We… are okay! We are okay!”

There were hunters including Seungwoo Yoon.

The numbers seemed to have decreased considerably. A considerable number of Hunters must have died in this battle.

But now is not the time to mourn that.

“Do I just have to destroy that now?”

Baek Sa-jun nodded instead of answering.

It’s time to end this tedious apocalypse. He walked forward, led by the possessed demons.

“Let’s go. Let’s end it here.”

“yes!”

Baek Sa-jun and the hunters kicked the ground.

The destination is the Guild House of Glory. It was originally renovated into a fortress, but it was restored to its original form after the commander died.

The entrance to the building was guarded by mutants.

– Keeheeheehee!

– Kkaaaaaaah!

“Use the demons as shields! Don’t die!”

The first ones to rush in were the evil spirits.

They pounced on the mutants, and while they were distracted, the Hunters launched a fierce attack.

Baek Sa-jun ran without stopping.

“Open the way! Open the way for him to go!”

“Eww!”

There must be no delay.

This was a common thought among the hunters here. If we delay, more mutants will come, and we don’t know what will happen.

I have to finish it before then.

– Kieeeeek!

“Go! Quickly!”

“Ugh, this damn monster… …!”

Mutants rushing towards Baek Sa-jun.

The hunters threw their bodies at them to block them, making way for Baek Sa-jun to advance.

He ran up the collapsed stairs.

Over there, I can see the rooftop.

– Khuuuu… Kaaaaah!

“Special mutant!”

A giant mutant guards the Seed of Evolution.

Baek Sa-jun snapped his fingers. The evil spirits running beside him all rushed towards the mutant.

And when they got close enough.

– Kwaaaaang!

The body possessed by evil spirits exploded.

It was a that Baek Sa-jun caused by squeezing out all his remaining strength. The special mutant fell to his knees, and the hunters rushed straight at him.

“We’ll hold on to you!”

“hurry……!”

Baek Sa-jun didn’t hesitate.

He ran between the mutants that covered the rooftop, closing the distance to the Seed of Evolution.

From the seed, numerous stems sprouted. These were stems that were trying to block Baek Sa-jun.

– Clang!

Stems split by a sickle.

Baek Sa-jun jumped high. Then he lifted the sickle in his hand with all his might and swung it down.

A scythe cutting through the air.

– Crunch!

The scythe cut down the seeds of evolution.

A seed split in half. A monster covered in sticky liquid emerged from within.

[Kkii, kkieeeeek… … .]

It was a hideous looking monster.

It was a form that seemed like a mixture of all kinds of mutants. It was a thing that would break your heart just by looking at it.

The monster struggled a few times, looked at Baek Sa-jun with resentment, and then died.

‘If this guy comes back to life, it’ll be a headache.’

It’s a monster inside the seed.

When all the seeds of evolution have grown, the monster will appear in its full form, which is quite tricky. It is better to take care of it now.

– Kkaaaak!

– Kkuruk! Kkuruk!

– Passs …

When the seed was destroyed, something strange happened.

The special mutants that the hunters were fighting screamed in pain and began to disintegrate into dust. It wasn’t just the special mutants.

Other mutants were experiencing the same thing.

“The mutant… … .”

“It’s disappearing.”

Baek Sa-jun stood in front of the railing of the rooftop.

The ruined Daejeon landscape was visible. The mutants that had been rushing towards this place were turned into dust and scattered, and the hunters who saw this cheered.

[The mutants are disappearing!]

[It’s the same here! The enemies… … .]

[Oh, is it over? It’s over, right?]

I heard a communication in my ear.

Baek Sa-jun nodded with a tired face.

“okay.”

The seeds of evolution have been destroyed.

“It’s over.”

It was the moment when the tiresome apocalypse ended.

***

The apocalypse is over.

As if to announce that, a message appeared before the eyes of the hunters in Daejeon.

– has been destroyed.

– The third apocalypse has ended. Congratulations, you have managed to survive.

– A special reward will be given to Baek Sa-jun (85%) who contributed the most to overcoming the apocalypse.

The Seed of Evolution was also a monster that didn’t drop items like the Predator. Still, there was nothing to be sorry about.

Because a replacement compensation was given.

“85%. That’s reasonable.”

“Um, um.”

The hunters saw the contribution Baek Sa-jun had made, but they didn’t seem particularly surprised.

Because I had already guessed.

The person who played the biggest role in the end of Daejeon was Baek Sa-jun. If it weren’t for him, the damage would have been greater, and we wouldn’t have been able to overcome the end.

‘If not that person, then who else would receive it?’

Everyone thought so.

Surprisingly, Baek Sa-jun thought so too.

‘If not me, then who will receive it?’

No one else will receive it but you.

Baek Sa-jun looked at the window that appeared right in front of him.

– You have achieved the greatest contribution in the third apocalypse, .

– Appropriate compensation will be given.

– Would you like to receive it now?

Baek Sa-jun looked around.

The hunters were sprawled on the ground, exhausted. There were no enemies coming to attack them right away, so it wouldn’t be dangerous to rest for a while.

It would be better to get a reward while you’re resting.

He nodded.

– Phew!

Items appeared right in front of me.

There were a total of four items that appeared. Needless to say, they were all rare items.

Among them, there was one thing that stood out.

[The Unblooming Seed (Myth)]

· A seed fragment with powerful evolutionary power.

· When using a seed, the user’s Gift’s potential will blossom with the power of evolution. In addition, a special effect related to the Gift will be activated.

The seeds of evolution.

It was the first ‘mythical’ grade item that Baek Sa-jun obtained, and it was an item that strengthened Gift.

He closed his eyes without realizing it.

“It was worth the effort.”

It was literal.

It was a reward worth the effort.
