The Necromancer Who Was Despised - The Necromancer Who Was Despised chapter 252

And during that time, the enemy took advantage of the opportunity.

The Ogres surrounding the elderly Ogre began to fall one by one.

And as that happened, the ominous unease grew even stronger.

Kyle’s eyebrows narrowed beside me.

“That’s…”

Another Ogre fell to the ground during that time.

“It’s hiding… resting, I suppose.”

It wasn’t dead.

But it seemed to have lost consciousness, exhausted.

“A giant Ogre that succeeded in giantization, exhausted?”

Not just me or Kyle.

Tinus and Artina seemed to have noticed the anomaly as well.

Quwang!

Tinus fought the flying monster while simultaneously casting magic towards the aged ogre.

It was a battle that required both offense and defense at the same time, but the aged ogre didn’t even flinch, only slightly gazing up at the sky.

Artina’s movements became more urgent, and Tinus continued to press on with his defense.

I also started killing the giant claws and monsters as quickly as possible, and then turned them into undead to counterattack.

It certainly required a lot of magical power and dominance to turn them into undead, but it wasn’t a big problem for me at the moment.

As my hands were freed up, I revived the red ogres one by one and turned them into undead, then advanced a little further and started attacking them directly.

Kyle didn’t stop me.

She also knew that what they were doing was beyond ordinary.

So she stuck close to my side, preparing for any unexpected situation.

-Creu….

As I took the initiative, my companions, who had sensed something was off, also began to pressure our opponents more strongly.

Thanks to that, we were able to reduce the number of red ogres faster than before, and most of the giant claws and monsters that had been ambushing us were also dealt with.

But it was too late.

-Kuaa!

With a tremendous roar, one ogre’s body began to grow at an incredible speed.

It wasn’t an aged ogre. It was one of the ogres that had succeeded in giantification, joining forces with the giant claws and monsters.

The sense of unease surged, and an enormous energy spread out in all directions.

“…Giant.”

Giantification.

Some red ogres used the power of giants to increase their size and physical abilities.

At least, that’s what I learned from direct experience.

But that was different.

Even if you called it giantification, it didn’t grow to that extent.

The ogre that was now standing up had a size that easily exceeded 10m, almost reaching 20m, a monstrous size.

“Is that really… a giant?”

At a glance, it looked like nothing else.

Although it had the appearance of an ogre, its size was so enormous that its appearance didn’t matter.

The giant I had only heard of in stories seemed to have revealed itself in the real world.

“It’s comparable to a dragon in size… no, slightly smaller?”

Although its neck was cut off, I had seen Tinus’s true body. I was the one who turned it into an undead, a legion commander.

So I could make a rough comparison.

In my opinion, the dragon was slightly larger. Of course, there would be individual differences….

“Calm down! That’s not a giant!”

Then, Tinus’s voice echoed from the sky.

He amplified his voice and shouted quickly.

“A giant is a species comparable to dragons! Its body isn’t that small!”

It felt strange to say that Tynos was small, but according to him, a giant’s body was larger than a dragon’s.

So, that thing was small.

Both giants and red ogres had exceptional physical abilities and strong resistance to magic.

However, their strengths differed.

They were a powerful species that could rival the mighty dragon.

If that thing was a real giant, we wouldn’t be able to survive here.

But I didn’t feel that way.

That thing was definitely a powerful monster.

Maybe its pure physical strength was even greater than mine.

Of course, if I excluded Elroset’s staff, my power, which had completed the 8th circle, was similar to or even surpassed that monster’s.

The problem was that, unlike me, who couldn’t be considered an 8th-class warrior with just increased circle levels, that monster relied solely on its physical abilities and magic resistance.

“Of course, warriors also need to have skills and experience that match their level…”.

If the difference in physical abilities was severe, even that could be ignored.

Furthermore, magic resistance had nothing to do with that.

I felt that the situation was not good.

“Tynos…”.

Even now, he was still fighting flying monsters in the sky.

“Can we hold out with just us?”

At that moment, the guy who was shouting while looking up at the sky started to move.

It started with Atina.

She saw the enormous-sized ogre rushing towards her and slightly bit her lip.

The guy swung his massive fist.

Above it was the immense power of a giant.

From noble mtl dot net

Atina didn’t dodge.

Kwaang!

A loud explosion sounded, and a doll flew out.

“Atina!”

After rolling on the ground a few times, she quickly got up.

Fortunately, she didn’t seem to have any major injuries.

The enormous ogre, as if it had expected that, charged towards Atina again.

“Faster…”.

Atina had stolen the power of giants from several red ogres and used it to enhance her physical abilities.

Even when surrounded by giant-ized ogres, she had pushed them back.

But even Atina seemed to find it difficult to guarantee victory against that monster.

Atina clashed with the monster once and then dodged its attack.

She used her quick speed to avoid the monster’s attacks.

However, the monster’s speed was also not to be underestimated, and several crises occurred.

Each time, she barely managed to evade the monster’s attacks.

Kwaang! Kwaang!

Every time the monster swung its fist, the ground shook.

The explosion went off, and a massive crater formed.

“If I get hit directly… I’ll die.”

Atina, who had clashed head-on with me, was still alive, and her incredible strength was astonishing.

It was hard to believe that such power was packed into a simple punch.

“I need to help.”

Tinus prioritized gaining control of the airspace.

That meant he thought we could hold out long enough.

And that was a correct judgment.

“Atina’s holding out better than expected.”

But it was only a matter of time.

“We can’t counterattack.”

Atina’s situation was uncertain, and I thought it was time to join the battle immediately.

However, there was a problem. As Atina’s feet were bound, the other giant ogres’ feet were freed.

Because of their high physical abilities, they also had excellent recovery.

The ogres, who had regained their strength after a short rest, charged towards us immediately.

The old ogre’s command was received, and the ogres who had been defeated earlier rushed towards our formation.

“There’s no choice.”

I shot a flame from my hand towards the approaching ogres.

“You’ll pay the price for interfering.”

Next, I used my magic to create a massive wall of fire.

Even if they broke through crudely, the giant, red ogres would have a hard time surviving.

Meanwhile, the number of exhausted red ogres decreased rapidly.

Just as I was about to restrain the massive ogre,

“Do-in-ha, fragment of the dimension!”

At the same time, an enormous amount of magic began to pour out of Tinus’s body.

◈ Red Ogre

Thud.

As the amount of magic Tinus emitted increased, his presence also grew rapidly.

At the same time, I instinctively sensed what Tinus was planning to do.

“Damn it.”

So I prepared for the front line to collapse and used half of my undead to attack simultaneously.

“…Master? What’s…?”

Kayla’s voice was mixed with surprise.

It was natural.

If the number of undead decreased this much, I would be exposed to danger.

My guardian, Kayla, wouldn’t be happy with such a situation.

But there was no time to explain, nor was it necessary.

The opened fragment of the dimension revealed the wyvern that Tinus had created earlier.

“At least we’ve reduced their numbers significantly.”

Dealing with the giant ogres first and reducing the number of red ogres had been a huge help.

Of course, it’s frustrating that the situation I had carefully constructed has fallen apart, but it’s unavoidable.

On the contrary, I should be grateful that the balance has been restored.

Tinus’s existence, which had been gradually increasing, is explosively growing.

His body is overflowing with magic, and soon, his massive size begins to swell.

From the fragmented dimension, an undead Wyvern emerged, accompanied by a miniature city.

A city that didn’t exist at all.

It was like a model, something I had already discovered before.

“Necropolis.”

The undead Wyvern was carrying it, and soon, it began to resonate strongly with Tinus.

“I thought I wouldn’t need the Wyvern’s help in the future, but it seems I still do.”

I had reached the 8th Circle, so I thought I might need a little more time.

I rearranged the remaining undead’s formation, supporting the front lines and protecting myself at the same time.

The red ogre’s slaves, though fewer in number, were still a significant threat, but not to the point where we couldn’t withstand them.

—————

Just as I finished arranging the undead and was about to withstand, an enormous amount of magic exploded, sweeping across the area.

Along with it, Tinus revealed his true form.

“The true dragon…”

However, Tinus’s appearance was slightly different from what I had imagined.

I had thought his final form would be a skeletal structure with a shining dragon heart.

But, unlike what I had thought, Tinus’s appearance wasn’t much different from his original form.

The only differences were the darker color of his scales and his reattached head?

Of course, as an undead, he didn’t have any vitality, and his magic-filled appearance was unlike what I had imagined.

“It’s more fitting to call him an undead dragon rather than a true dragon.”

But that was a minor issue.

He was Tinus, my commander.

And simultaneously… he was a being who could use the 8-Class magic that I couldn’t currently use.

-…….

Tinus, in his true form, and the giant-like ogre gazed at each other.

A strong sense of tension was etched on the aged ogre’s face.
