The Necromancer in The Novel Picks up Bones - Chapter 181



Only Noblemtl

Episode 181

Salvation Church.

A place that emerged after the end of the world and is rapidly growing in power, centered around Gangwon-do.

After they established churches in places within their reach, they were gaining the people’s faith.

“What has the god of this world done for you!”

“Look at the light that I am raising! From whom does this light come? Who is the One who allows such miracles? Everyone, listen to me!”

“Him. It all comes from Him!”

The Church of Salvation is a typical pseudo-religion.

The problem is that the power they bring about is ‘real’. Unlike those who claim to have made absurd miracles, the paladins and priests possessed divine powers.

That gave credibility to the Church of Salvation.

“The God who leads the light and upholds justice! You must all follow him! Serve him! Then salvation will follow!”

“Ah, I believe. I believe… … .”

“Please, please save us too… … .”

Even today, the branches of the Salvation Church are full of believers who have come to prove their faith.

Archbishop Yeom Woo-il looked at the scene.

“Faith, faith gathers together.”

Salvationism needs more faith.

It must be done for the sake of the ‘Second Coming’ that will soon follow. Yeom Woo-il looked at the believers praying and thought about what to do in the future.

It was just then.

“Archbishop, are you there?”

“Come in.”

A man entered the room.

It was a knight in pure white armor. As soon as he entered, he knelt down and showed his respect.

Yeom Woo-il nodded slightly.

“What’s going on?”

“I have something urgent to report. This is… … .”

The reporter handed over several documents.

Yeom Woo-il checked the documents with indifferent eyes. The contents of the documents were summarized as follows.

[Necromancers gather in Yangpyeong-gun, Gyeonggi-do.]

Yeom Woo-il’s expression became crumpled.

“The necromancers have gathered?”

“Yes, that’s right. There are evil people in Yangpyeong-gun, Gyeonggi-do. Rumor has it that there is a ‘former event’ hidden there.”

“Unholy!”

Yeom Woo-il expressed his anger.

It was something he could not tolerate.

“How dare you, in our sphere of influence! A necromancer trying to gain power? This is unforgivable! He will not tolerate it either!”

“That’s right, Archbishop. Then… … .”

“Send out the Knights Templar! Those who defile our lands will never be forgiven!”

Boom!

Yeom Woo-il hit the desk hard.

“Punish all the wicked!”

“Yes, Your Majesty!”

The knight hurriedly left the bishop’s office.

Yeom Woo-il trembled with rage. Undead, and necromancers. They are the enemies of the gods served by the Salvation Church, and they must be subdued.

“How dare you, without even knowing your own subject.”

Coming into the sphere of influence of the Church of Salvation.

“Those necromancer bastards.”

I won’t let a single one go alive.

Yeom Woo-il prayed with his hands clasped together.

***

– That’s what happened. The fanatics will be flocking to you, so survive on your own. We left yesterday, so we should be arriving soon, right?

Baek Sa-jun wandered the mountains for a day after that.

To be exact, I pretended to wander. I pretended not to be able to find my destination, but to wander around trying to find it.

The necromancers were blatantly chasing him.

“How many do you think will come?”

– The Salvation Church uses armed knights and priests as a separate force. Their name is . The force chasing you is roughly a thousand strong.

“There are so many. That many came?”

– I heard you’re famous?

It’s famous, isn’t it?

Baek Sa-jun sighed. Well, if a lot of people come, that’s a good thing.

“And what did I ask for?”

– A new one will go. You receive it, and the money will be charged later. Instead, 1.5 times.

“Do that.”

Baek Sa-jun hung up the phone with Hong Ju-yeon.

Just then, a huge falcon flew down from the sky above and landed on his shoulder.

The bird was holding a scroll.

[Scroll: Restricted Area (Epic)]

· A ‘restricted area’ is created, denying entry to anyone without the caster’s permission.

It was a magic scroll.

It was also a tool to give a tease to the necromancers chasing Baek Sa-jun.

After moving for a while, he stopped walking.

‘I guess this is enough time to kill time.’

The destination that guided me to was already found. The reason I had wandered around the mountains until now was to buy time for the Savior Church to arrive.

There’s no need to waste any more time since he said he’d be coming soon.

“Well, before you go… … .”

Baek Sa-jun summoned Le Wicken.

Le Wicken stood there blankly, as if he had no thoughts, just like when he first joined the group.

He took the bone out of his bosom.

“This is probably the one you should write.”

– Kuuuuu… … .

It was the bones of the legion commander.

Gift, a bone with a ‘heart of steel’ in it. Of course, I had no intention of using it for its intended purpose.

Because the race of the servants changes to a machine and there is a penalty of not being able to grant bones.

“Why are all these guys getting penalized?”

– Kuuuu… … ?

It must have been a penalty because it was such a powerful and rare gift, but I couldn’t help but feel annoyed.

It is ambiguous to use it for the purpose of granting.

‘It can only be used for strengthening purposes.’

Baek Sa-jun placed Le Wicken in front.

I was wondering which clan to give it to, but no matter how much I thought about it, Le Wicken was the most appropriate. There’s also the fact that it’s the bone of the legion commander, who is this guy’s enemy.

He consumed the bones of the legion commander as material.

– Passs …

The bones crumble in Baek Sa-jun’s grasp.

The bone fragments gathered around Lewicken, swirling around him and quickly seeping into his body.

And then the change began.

– Strengthen ‘Lewicken’ with the bones of the ‘Legion Commander’. These are bones with special powers… … .

– The ability level of the clan increases.

– Unique gifts and skills have been created for the clan! These gifts and skills will not disappear when the clan evolves, and will be strengthened together.

The same thing happened when I gave the skeleton the bones of the ‘soul reaper’.

And the results appeared before my eyes.

[LeWicken]

· Race: Bone Hatchling.

· Gift (2/5): Rapid Growth, Individual Name: Dragon.

· Strength: A+ · Agility: A+

· Stamina: A+ · Morale: A+

· Skill held (1/7): Full bullet launch.

The newly created gift was , and a skill called was created.

But it was a rather unique gift and skill.

[Entity Name: Dragon]

· Rating: Unique.

· Implements the equipment of a ‘Legion Member’ that was not desired but gave great power for a certain period of time.

· Individual Name: It can handle the firepower of a dragon, and when used with the ‘Rapid Growth’ gift, its firepower becomes even stronger.

[Full bullet launch]

· Rating: Unique.

· Gift, can only be used when using ‘Individual Name: Dragon’. Unlock all equipment and unleash all your firepower on your enemies.

Baek Sa-jun touched the corner of his mouth.

“It’s good, but… … .”

– Kuuuuu… … .

LeWicken, I don’t know if this guy will like it.

Simply put, it is a gift that allows you to attach to your body things like weapons that you used when you were a member of the legion.

That much firepower was added.

“Even if you don’t like it, just use it.”

– Kuuuuu.

As if he understood what was being said, Le Wicken nodded as if he understood.

Baek Sa-jun looked up at the sky. Bats were flying in the dark sky.

“It’s time.”

The actors have all arrived.

Now all that was left was to build the stage. Baek Sa-jun walked towards the destination he had discovered earlier.

– Ss …

Some people tracked him down.

***

Deep mountains, wooded places.

On the surface, it looks like an ordinary mountain landscape with nothing unusual about it. However, when is illuminated, the landscape changes in an instant.

“It’s blinding.”

As the surrounding space opened up, crosses appeared all around. And in the center of it, a portal made of pure white light appeared.

The portal was wrapped in all kinds of chains.

[Sub-story, .]

[The place where the souls of the fanatics who serve God reside. They imprison non-believers here and guard certain ‘relics’ stored here… … ]

[This place is now sealed.]

It was a portal leading to a sub-story.

Baek Sa-jun looked up at the portal quietly.

‘It’s been a while since I’ve done a sub-story.’

I was so busy solving the apocalypse that I didn’t have time to go into sub-stories or anything.

Anyway, beyond this portal, in a place called the , there is the relic of Thanatos.

– The portal is tightly sealed. Use the to break the seal.

– It takes time to break the seal.

Now just break the seal and go in.

The problem is that it takes time. And there was another annoying problem left.

Baek Sa-jun turned his back.

“Isn’t it time to crawl out?”

Baek Sa-jun said while looking at the forest.

There were no traces of people in the forest. But that was only for a moment, as one by one, people began to appear from the shadows of the forest.

“Baek Sa-jun.”

“As expected, you noticed our presence.”

“How could I not know when you make it so obvious?”

They were necromancers.

I felt a strong sense of fraud. It means that the power was so strong that I could feel the fraud even when I was still.

There are five of them in total.

“Is this all? I think there’s more.”

“There’s no way they wouldn’t. They’ll be watching this place. They’ll be checking the situation and preparing to intervene.”

“so.”

Baek Sa-jun nodded his head.

“What do you want from me?”

“You know. That back you have. And that portal behind you… … .”

The necromancer chuckled.

“Just give up your previous opportunity and get out. If you do that, you might be able to save your life.”

“It might be possible. I don’t think they’ll keep it alive if you put it down and turn it off, do you?”

“Well, I plan on saving your life.”

The necromancers searched through the Baek Sa-jun.

He has all sorts of rare items, items that any necromancer would want.

“I don’t know. Aren’t there people who covet those items you’re wearing?”

“No matter what I do, it feels like I’m going to die… … .”

Baek Sa-jun grabbed his cane.

The fraud that flowed from him spread.

“I can’t give you a pretty death.”

“If you resist, that’s fine too.”

The necromancers struck down their staffs.

Then, the undead appeared behind their backs. Skeletons, ghouls, all kinds of undead.

The number of undead was unusual, as they had been summoned by five necromancers.

“Do you think you can win against these numbers?”

“… … .”

Baek Sa-jun did not answer.

Instead, he responded by committing fraud. His followers appeared beside him.

The necromancers laughed.

“In the end, you choose to resist.”

“then.”

The undead began to move.

The undead surrounded Baek Sa-jun in an instant. The necromancers slowly lowered their staffs.

“Die here… … .”

The order to advance was given to the necromancers.

And at that very moment.

– Kwaaaaang!

“Huh… … ?!”

A powerful shock wave swept through the surrounding area.

Dust rose thickly everywhere. The necromancers frowned and looked beyond the dust.

There was someone standing there.

“Hehe, I never thought I’d come to this stinky land again.”

An old man whose whole body was strangely thin.

A monster with such powerful power that just being near it will make the hairs on its body stand on end.

“A nameless child.”

Samak, kept an eye on Baek Sa-jun.

“I have come to see you.”

Words filled with deep power.

The necromancers flinched when they heard those words. Those words had that much power.

Xiong Wei, still watching Baek Sa-jun.

Baek Sa-jun slowly opened his mouth.

“You bastard, have you read a lot of martial arts novels?”

“What?”

Xiong Wei’s face was wrinkled with sullenness.
