The Necromancer Who Was Despised - The Necromancer Who Was Despised chapter 147
I started engraving runes on each one.
I managed to prepare around a hundred materials.
I couldn’t help but stay up all night for several days.
Kayla would bring me food from time to time, and I would eat and focus on my work.
It was a sorry situation for Atina, Tia, and Mutr, but I promised to make it up to them later.
I took out the coffin I had stored.
The corpse that had absorbed a large amount of black liquid was lying inside, looking quite gruesome.
I placed the coffin inside the prepared magic circle and filled it with magical energy.
On one side of the magic circle, the carefully selected orc bones I had engraved with runes over the past few days were stacked like a mountain.
I confirmed that the preparations were complete after a final check.
Poof.
I carefully placed the shadow of the soul, which I had set aside to prevent it from being overly affected by the magical energy, inside the coffin.
Next, I amplified the magical energy through Elroset’s staff and arranged it, and then I completed the magic with the activation word.
[Rise]
As the magic was completed, the coffin began to tremble slightly.
The bones surrounding the magic circle started to stir.
The magic circle resonated, and the bones, one by one, began to attach themselves to the coffin.
Originally, it wouldn’t have been necessary to go to such lengths.
If my abilities were sufficient, I could have managed with simple preparations.
If my goal wasn’t to nurture my potential, I could have done it with just a few words.
But I’m still lacking in terms of my class.
Even if I’m just one step away from being a 6-class, I’m still a 5-class.
Just like an expert who’s just one step short of being a master, or an expert who can’t take on a master no matter how hard they try, I shouldn’t have been able to create a Skeleton Knight Banneret.
Even if I tried, failure would be the norm, and I’d have to take full responsibility for the consequences.
However, I’ve created undead beings that surpass my abilities before.
It’s because I possess abilities that far exceed those of a 5-class, and I can prepare accordingly.
“Fate has been kind to me.”
It’s the same this time.
The conditions are unfavorable.
That’s why, even though it’s reckless, I can try to do it this way.
Quack, boom!
The attached bones broke the coffin and were sucked into the corpse.
Psss.
The black liquid covered the floor, and the bones attached to the corpse began to compress.
The runes engraved on the bones were gleaming darkly.
As a 5-class, I filled in the gaps with all sorts of elements.
I compensated for the insufficient magical density with the amplified magic of the magic circle and the staff, and supplemented the insufficient magical arrangement with runes.
I’ve maximized the corpse’s quality, so I can say I’ve done everything I can.
The bones compressed and took shape.
The completed Skeleton was already wearing a bone armor, and its size was about 1.5 times larger than its original size.
Rumble, rumble, rumble.
The five rings resonated wildly.
And…
The completed form of the Knight Banneret, along with the wall that had blocked me, began to crumble.
The Knight Banneret’s eyes gleamed with a fierce, crimson light, and my control, which had reached its limits, could no longer properly control the undead.
If it was completed like this, I wouldn’t be able to control it properly.
But I wasn’t worried.
The wall had already crumbled, and the sixth ring was slowly taking shape.
< Chapter 140 ﹥ 6 Class
6 Class.
This was the realm I had reached in the past.
Of course, back then I was at the tail end, and now I’m just at the beginning, but the difference wasn’t that great.
I’m much better now than I was back then.
He’s the same, but back then I didn’t even have proper equipment, whereas now I have the artifacts tainted by Elrose’s staff, undead minions, and good companions.
Not making a contract with the Demon King and reaching my current level is already an incomparable advantage.
As I checked my body, the newly acquired Knight Banneret was kneeling before me.
“-Master, what’s your name?”
“Do you remember your name from your past life?”
“-It’s vague.”
It seemed like some memories were damaged due to the numerous orc corpses I used.
Since I only succeeded in becoming a 5-class, not 6-class, it was inevitable that there would be some deficiencies.
However, it didn’t seem to be a significant issue in terms of performance.
“Entin. Let’s go with Entin.”
“-Thank you.”
The name didn’t hold any special meaning; I just blurted out something that came to mind.
“Put Nelson and Langvink under Entin’s command.”
As I rose to 6-class, my dominance gained a lot of leeway.
It was on a completely different level from before, and even if I were to put all the White Dragon Generals under my direct command, it would still be overflowing.
But I didn’t need to, nor did I think about doing so.
Instead, I was thinking of binding even those White Dragon Generals to another entity.
The one playing the leading role among the White Dragon Generals.
Naturally, that role was only secondary, and I planned to choose a suitable undead with decent combat power as the main force.
“I have the materials, anyway.”
The corpse of a high-ranking expert. This was still remaining.
Since I had already surpassed the wall and stabilized the circle, I didn’t need to prepare as elaborately as before.
I created a magic circle around the coffin, threw in the prepared armor and the shadow of the soul, and then amplified the magic through Elrose’s staff.
As I channeled my magic, the coffin lid opened, and the armor flew in.
Perhaps it was because I had become 6-class.
Elrose’s staff had also opened up another level.
Thanks to that, the magic circle became even more intense.
A strong magic burst out with a clinking sound, and soon the guy got up.
And then, his head fell off.
A heavily armed knight without a head.
Dullahan.
“-I greet the ruler.”
“What’s your name from your past life?”
“-Gagaru. I’m Gagaru.”
Unlike before, his memories from his past life seemed to be relatively clear.
“What did you do?”
“-I was a mercenary. I’m ashamed to say, but I was caught committing a crime a long time ago and was executed.”
“Is that so.”
It seemed like I was someone who was hastily rescued from the royal palace.
“Was there a dark mage nearby when you were about to be executed?”
-There wasn’t.
If there really was a dark mage close to the royal palace, they wouldn’t have acted so carelessly.
“Use your original name from when you were alive.”
-Understood.
Perhaps it was because my circumstances had changed.
The newly undead Gagarin seemed to be even more wary of me than the previous undead.
It wasn’t that the previous undead had treated me comfortably, but their attitude was subtly different.
“Gagarin.”
-Yes.
“You will take on the role of the senior white knight commander.”
-It’s an honor.
“I will place two white knight commanders under your command, and also assign warriors directly under you.”
-What should I do?
“You will hunt monsters and expand the territory.”
-I see. Securing the territory of our lord is a glorious task.
“Entin, you will do the same. Although you only have two knights under your command for now, you will continue to add more as your power grows.”
I wished I could create a skeleton horse and ride it if possible.
Entin bowed his head again at my words.
“The corpses bought with holy artifacts have all been used up.”
What’s left are just the shadows of souls….
“Should I try to raise the main golem?”
I could use the senior white knight commander Durahan as a model.
I could fill the ranks with knights using the Night Banaret.
The elite vanguard consisted of the Living Armors, including Valdur.
In the rear, there were the skeleton mages, including Mira the priest, Anelis, and me, a 6-class necromancer.
“With Kaila and Support, who will protect me, and Artina, who will provide surprise attacks and reconnaissance, and Ori’s ghost legion…”.
If I add the main golem to this team?
“It seems more effective than adding a few specters.”
I needed to think about it a bit.
There were still lacking points. Not everything was filled.
But since I’ve become 6-class, I’ll soon fill in the gaps.
If everything goes according to my plan, the Holy Empire won’t be able to do anything even if they try to restrain me.
Unless they send an army, no tactics will work against me.
There were also geographical limitations, and their power to mobilize without being noticed by the 6 Kingdoms Alliance was restricted, so even if I were to become a huge threat later, they wouldn’t be able to harm me with their limited power.
“At least here, I can really avoid anyone’s attention.”
It was all thanks to the chain of events that had occurred, which the Holy Empire couldn’t respond to.
If that weren’t the case, there would have been at least one instance of interference, and afterwards, they would have continued to keep a subtle eye on me.
But that didn’t happen, and thanks to that, I was able to reach my current position more easily than expected.
Of course, I hadn’t even made it out of the barren land yet.
As I became a 6-class, I returned to my party with a joyful heart.
“Over here! Not that way, over here! That dull guy isn’t listening to me!”
As I headed towards where I sensed my party members, I found them in the midst of working.
“Ah, Kaila.”
I looked around and asked.
“How come everyone’s inside the castle? Are we taking a break today?”
-Kaila has been prohibiting external outings for a while.
The response came from Orie, not Kaila.
-It’s because there’s an important task at hand, and it’s difficult to provide close protection, so we’re suspending external cleanups and focusing on castle defense for now.
It seemed like they had decided to prioritize protecting the entire castle.
When I checked the locations of my undead, most of them were patrolling around the castle.
It seemed like they were waiting for me.
-By the way… Congratulations?
Orie, who was directly connected to me and under my control, immediately realized that I had overcome the wall.
She smiled brightly and offered words of congratulations.
Kaila also smiled brightly and congratulated me.

“So, as promised… “
“That’s right. We’ll slowly take over the barren land.”
“I’ve been waiting. Everyone will be happy, right?”
“The surrounding cleanup was finished a while ago, anyway.”
“Oh, Director Do-inha. When did you arrive?”
Muter, who was using the original golem to touch up the castle here and there, hurriedly approached me.
“You seem busy.”
The person who called the original golem “dull guy” from afar was Muter.
