The Necromancer in The Novel Picks up Bones - Chapter 184



Only Noblemtl

Episode 184

Baek Sa-jun walked through the halls of suffering.

The hall was filled with countless souls. They were not the souls of fanatics. They were the souls of non-believers whom the fanatics here had tortured.

Not everyone looked in good condition.

‘Should I call this luck?’

The only good thing is that the non-believers were locked in cages and were not affected by the gunfire.

The iron bars were made of a special material, so they didn’t break even when the ceiling collapsed due to the gunfire.

– Ah, ahhh… … .

– Th, stop. Stop… … .

– Kkaaaaaaah!

Most of the spirits were not communicative.

It was because he had lost consciousness due to the continued torture. But there was still a soul that could communicate.

– You, you… … .

– Are you here to help us?

“That’s not my intention, just in case.”

As I was looking at it, I remembered a dungeon I had cleared before. Was it the in Okcheon-gun? There were souls like this there too.

Baek Sa-jun had a pointless thought.

‘Why do I have so many entanglements with the soul?’

Is it because the class is Necromancer?

Baek Sa-jun talked to the few sane souls and figured out what they had been through.

‘This is the interrogation center of a sect that serves the god of the other world. Fanatics serve the god as spirits even after death, and are also given the role of managing this place.’

That is what the spirits said.

The other world’s goddess who rules over light and justice. Baek Sa-jun clicked his tongue with an indifferent expression.

‘A god from another world.’

Sooner or later, a main story involving the Church of the Savior and the god of the other world will unfold.

It felt like watching a trailer.

“Just thinking about it makes me sigh.”

– What? Why are you sighing… … .

“No, nothing. So? What did the fanatics here do to you?”

– that…….

The non-believers pointed to the ruins around them.

A piece of armor was seen strewn across the ruins. It was a type of armor that gave off a somewhat sacred feeling.

– Endlessly torture them, force them to convert… and lock them in that armor. The souls trapped in the armor become warriors for God, and fight… … .

– The souls that do not surrender are used as nutrients. As nutrients for the ‘Seal’ here… … .

Baek Sa-jun listened to the words of the non-believers.

There were several keywords that caught my attention. The non-believers gasped for breath as if they had reached their limit.

I could see their bodies blurring.

– The Guardian is over there… … . The thing that the fanatics are guarding here… … .

– And, warriors too. We… … .

– freedom…….

The souls soon disappeared.

It was unclear whether it had been liberated or destroyed, but Baek Sa-jun had no reason to worry about it.

He took a step.

“Is that it?”

– Crunch.

At the center of the ruins was a huge room.

In the middle of the room was something like an altar, above which a sphere of light floated.

A vague shape was glimpsed inside. Perhaps something was inside the sphere.

– Saaaaa… … .

“It’s responding.”

Whether it was a correct guess or not, the dead man’s back shook.

As if to quickly free that sphere.

“Where, when I approach… … .”

-Whoooosh!

Just in case, I sent one ghoul.

As the ghoul approached, the sphere began to emit a stronger light, instantly burning the approaching ghoul.

Until it started spitting out arrows of light.

It is a sphere made of powerful divine power.

“It’s made so that it can’t be broken by force.”

I tried attacking lightly once.

Then the sphere absorbed the attack as is. It didn’t stop there and even returned it.

It also appears to have the ability to absorb attacks.

‘This is a place you can’t open without a key.’

Looking closely, I saw a keyhole on the altar. All I had to do was insert the key piece into it.

But is that really true?

‘I don’t think they’ll give it to you that easily.’

Whatever it is, it’s a former event.

Besides, this is where the relics of Thanatos are stored. But it ends so easily? Baek Sa-jun, who had read the End Times, could not have imagined it.

Clearly there is something more.

‘You said there were guardians. And warriors, too.’

But no matter how much I look around, I don’t see any guardians or warriors. I didn’t see any of those guys when I fought the fanatics outside.

Baek Sa-jun looked at the sphere of light.

I feel like something might happen if I open that up.

“hmm.”

Baek Sa-jun has a preferred fighting style.

It’s about pushing the opponent so that they can’t do anything. The enemies in are 2-phase, final struggles, and many other things that are annoying.

It’s about dealing with it before you see it.

– Shhh!

“There’s no harm in preparing thoroughly.”

I plan to do that again this time.

Baek Sa-jun summoned the Blood Golems and Ghouls, then injected poison into them with .

I don’t know exactly what awaits me, but I’ve decided to prepare as best I can.

This was part of it.

– Ss …

Then he breathed life into the staff.

The new option that was added this time was to have the ready to use at any time.

After checking the status of the retinue and the undead, he took out the key fragments from the subspace.

– Crunch!

Then the key pieces floated up and joined together on their own, creating a giant key.

The key headed towards the altar on its own.

A giant key that fits into the keyhole.

-Whaaaaaaah!

[Who dares break the seal?]

A sphere of light emitted a strong light.

And then it gradually changed its form. From a sphere, it became a human-like shape. But it was not an ordinary human. It was an angel with three pairs of wings.

This is the that the spirits spoke of.

‘As expected, there was a defense mechanism.’

Baek Sa-jun frowned.

It seems like the Guardian was guarding the relic. It seems like that guy will appear when the seal is released.

It was designed as a double defense device.

A simple, yet powerful device.

[You who go against the law. This is a place where an unclean person like you should not enter.]

The giant guardian opened his eyes.

As soon as he recognized the presence of Baek Sa-jun and the undead, he spread his wings with all his might.

Then light covered the surroundings.

‘More appearing here?’

A large number of armors were revealed.

It was the armor that the soul had pointed out a little while ago. The only difference was that a strong light was now emanating from the armor. And it had a pair of wings.

It was a wing made of light.

‘Are they like Living Armor?’

The numbers are so numerous that it’s overwhelming.

At least hundreds. The guys were watching Baek Sa-jun.

[This is a place where non-believers are interrogated and the relics of evil spirits are sealed. How dare you defile this place.]

[What’s more, the believers who guarded this place… … .]

-Whaaaaaaah!

At the very moment when the Guardian was about to show his anger, Baek Sa-jun activated the option he had prepared.

The option was activated in an instant.

– Use .

“You talk a lot.”

The hall, once covered in light, was suddenly plunged into darkness. And before the Guardian could react, a giant dark sphere appeared in its center.

The sphere radiated power.

-Whaaaaaaah!

It has a very strong suction power.

Everything around was forcibly pulled into the black sphere. The Guardians somehow resisted with their own strength, but the Living Armors could not.

A large number of Living Armors were dragged into the dark sphere.

– Crack, crack!

The bodies of the Living Armors who got closer to the Dark Sphere began to crumble. Unable to withstand the strong suction force, their bodies were destroyed.

Subsequently, numerous spheres were created.

– Kwaaaaaaaang!

A large number of spheres rose like stars in the night sky and exploded simultaneously, causing a huge explosion.

An explosion that engulfs all the Living Armors.

Because there were so many of them, we couldn’t destroy them all. However, the aftereffects of the explosion were enough to immobilize them for a period of time.

That’s enough.

“Golem, ghoul.”

Baek Sa-jun glared at the guardian.

The Guardian quickly blocked the explosions that were pouring down on all sides, wrapping himself with three pairs of wings.

“good.”

– Gooooooo!

– Ghhhh!

No damage was done to the Guardian.

However, he was able to block the bastard’s vision. The golems and ghouls that had been waiting in advance rushed forward and quickly closed the distance between them and the guardian.

The Guardian, who noticed them too late, became angry.

[How dare you, you unclean being!]

– Saaaaah!

The Guardian spread his wings.

Light covered the surroundings. And two swords made of light appeared in the bastard’s two hands.

The bastard’s sword cut through the air.

-Whaaaaaaah!

Then, space split apart, and a huge black aura made of light shot out at the undead.

It contains a divine power so strong that it will disappear the moment it touches you. Even if you have divine power resistance, the damage will be great.

but.

‘This distance is enough.’

I had no intention of attacking with the undead in the first place.

There is one reason why I sent the Blood Golems and Ghouls.

– Phew!

[Ugh, ugh?!]

It was meant to blow them up.

As the golems and ghouls exploded, a huge amount of flesh and blood covered the Guardian. The Guardian instinctively covered himself with his wings.

And at that moment.

– Pushy profit!

[… … !]

The Guardian’s wings melted away in an instant.

That wasn’t all. A vicious poison began to seep out from the wings and spread throughout the body.

It was the effect of .

– Use .

– Grants the Guardian the and . This enemy has strong resistance. The effects of the curse are greatly reduced.

Even a series of curses.

The effect is greatly reduced because it has strong resistance, but that is enough.

Baek Sa-jun changed his cane into a sickle.

“I prepared it for you. Do you like it?”

[Crack!]

The sound of the Guardian gritting his teeth was heard.

Poison is flowing throughout the body. However, with divine power, it can be recovered. The guardian quickly tried to recover his body by emitting light.

Of course.

– Pushy profit!

[Ugh!]

Baek Sa-jun didn’t let it be.

The ceiling was collapsing. Beyond it, a breath of corrosion poured out. It was the breath of LeWicken, who still retained his dragon form.

The breath of corrosion covered the Guardian’s wings.

– Taaang!

– Pushy profit!

Wings that can’t hold on and melt away.

The retinue moved as if they had been waiting. The first thing to be fired was Magnus’ magic bullet.

bound the Guardian, and spread, burning his entire body.

And then Cerberus charged.

– Kkwadkku!

[Providence is against… an evil being!]

Cerberus, who used , bit the Guardian’s nape. The Guardian tried to deal with it by spitting out countless feathers made of light.

But the bastard had a shell.

It’s the .

– Krrrrrr!

[Don’t disturb me!]

Cerberus took all the attacks the Guardians were sending at him with his own body.

And then the undead began to move.

– Shhh! Phew!

[Ugh!]

The arrows fired by the Bow Masters struck the Guardian, and the Iron Golem ran out and helped Cerberus crush the Guardian.

And the Knights of the Black Order charged at incredible speed and pierced the Guardian’s wings.

– Kwaaaaah!

– Ooooh… … !

This was followed by the skeleton and Iria.

The blade containing the and the claws sharpened by attacked the Guardian.

The Guardian’s Wings, to be exact.

– Toouk!

The wings, which had been rotting away due to the effects of poison and corrosion, were cut off and soon rolled around on the ground.

Originally, it would have been able to withstand the attack, but now it is weakened by the poison.

It was enough to cut off the wings.

[God! Give me strength!]

The Guardian lost his wings, but he did not panic and immediately tried to summon his divine power.

At that moment, there were undead coming forward.

– Light, rejected… … !

[… … !]

They were dark paladins.

The ten fallen knights summoned an unholy power. An ominous light enveloped the guardian, momentarily interrupting the power he was trying to summon.

And Baek Sa-jun moved.

– Use .

– The wearer’s abilities are enhanced by 20%.

I felt a strong power surge through my body.

Baek Sa-jun kicked the ground. Using , he closed the distance between himself and the Guardian like a ghost.

And when the Guardian recognized him.

– Crunch!

[Ugh… … !]

The scythe cut off the guardian’s head.

, whose attack power increases depending on the fraud ability, and even ignores defense.

It was enough to cut down the guardian.

The body of the headless man froze.

– Kkwadkku!

There may be a pattern to the tantrum.

After making that decision, Baek Sa-jun stepped back, and his followers and undead finished off the guardian instead.

A guardian destroyed without even being able to resist.

That was the end of it.

– Ss …

The destroyed guardian’s body turned into light and disappeared.

Then, the item inside the bastard fell out. It was a relic that this temple was protecting.

Baek Sa-jun tried to take care of it, though.

“You’re here.”

A strong slap pierced my skin.

There was no need to say whose fraud it was.

[Baek Sa-jun! Show yourself before me!]

“I told you I read too many martial arts novels… … .”

It was a fraud by Luo Gui and Xiong Wei.

Baek Sa-jun sighed.
