Money-grubbing Necromancer (251)
necklace
Summon skeleton.
It was a skill that had a very special meaning to Kim Min-woo.
That’s understandable, because skeletons learn on their own.
Jobs are popping up all the time.
It was an amazing strength that other necromancers did not have.
Even with half the summoning mana, you can produce twice as many as others.
Is that all?
As you level up, it will evolve automatically.
But even this all-rounder skill clearly had its weaknesses.
‘For enemies above a certain level, numbers have no meaning.’
This was the biggest problem.
Can you catch an apostle-level monster like the High Priest’s clone or Hadronox by pulling out 8,000 skeletons?
You can never catch it.
Eventually, there came a time when the amount of sheep could not cover it.
In that case, there was only one answer.
Running by himself and his legion commanders.
In this case, summoning skeletons was meaningless. Strictly speaking, whether it was a mage, a durahan, or a specter, they were all the same.
The most recently learned summoning skill, Bone Dragon, is also the same.
It was clearly a powerful and versatile summon, but its limitations were clear when used against super-strong opponents.
In that situation, this descent… … .
‘It’s a solution.’
First of all, there are a lot of numbers.
Even though the skeletons there were weak, they still had basic health values. What about 8,000 of them?
If you put them all together, you’ll end up with a health bar that can surpass even the most powerful raid mobs. It’s a perfect example of the saying, “If you stick together, you live, but if you split up, you die.”
“Can I share that stamina bar?”
That’s why Kim Min-woo was shocked.
What are human weaknesses?
Isn’t that the limit of the abilities given to us at birth?
4 per level.
Considering that monsters often go up by 10 or 20 per level, this was no different from the limits of the race.
Although it was supplemented with items, titles, and elixirs, its limitations were clear.
‘Level 655.’
His current ability level was close to an average of 2,200.
In other words, it’s only 2,200.
Abilities are the alpha and omega of everything.
Especially since he was a talentless body that could not freely utilize profound enlightenment like the Sword of the Heart, his dependence on ability values was bound to become even more severe. In such a situation, a breakthrough was found.
That too, a crazy breakthrough called Kangrim.
‘Then, can we say that his stamina is almost unlimited?’
The existing health + the health of 8,000 skeleton priests. Of course, as a skeleton ‘priest’, the health may not be high, but since the number is a lot, the number will be enormous.
Of course, Kangrim also had weaknesses.
First, the skeleton priests are now defenseless.
He was just praying without moving at all, but it seemed like he could be fatally wounded if the goblin hit him on the head just once.
“… …Can’t you move?”
Even at those words, the skeleton priests didn’t move at all. If the enemy used a wide-area skill like that, it was obvious that they would all be swept away.
In other words, even though Kim Min-woo’s stamina has increased, the skeleton priests assisting him have become very vulnerable.
‘I guess I shouldn’t just randomly summon skeleton priests.’
It seemed like we would have to at least defend ourselves with half a skeleton priest and half other summons to be able to hold out.
Second, the weakness was the damage mechanism of the descent itself.
“Merchen?”
-Yeah, Minwoo.
“You want to attack me? With strong magic.”
-okay.
Kwarung!
The moment a thrilling bolt of lightning struck the crown of my head, a pitch-black energy surged over the armor covering my body… … .
[This is a descent state!]
[Skeleton intermediate priests take damage instead!]
[Current damage conductivity: 300%]
Parsak!
Nearly one-fifth of the praying skeleton priests were swept away in an instant.
“Uh, um. Merchen?”
-Yeah, Minwoo.
“Your magic is strong, but it’s not like it can be used like that in one shot, right?”
– Right? Maybe?
Damage conductivity 300%.
What this meant was that if we took 100 damage, it would be transferred to the skeleton priests as 300. This was the reason why the skeletons collapsed.
‘It’s not like there are only advantages.’

There was no need to use it in multiple battles.
Just use the existing undead. The only time Kanglim shines is in a one-on-one situation. And that too when facing off against a strong opponent like the high priest.
‘If you use it at that time, it can definitely save your life.’
The biggest appeal of Kangrim was that it was possible to attack without worrying about defense at least three or four times, in a die-or-die manner.
‘Crucially, the future is bright.’
Skeletons now?
I’m intermediate.
If we were to compare it to an awakened person, it would be roughly a C-rank level. But then this monstrous skill popped out. What if that mid-level priest grows into a high-level priest or a top-level priest?
‘… … The efficiency of descent will also increase, right?’
At least it will be a more reasonable number than 300% damage conductivity.
Now I think I understand a little why they told me to fill the skeleton professions on the path to growth. Even though I only promoted to priest right away, didn’t a skill that would be very helpful pop up?
What if you fill all ten jobs?
‘Even then, something special might come out.’
Considering that, the skeletons’ jobs need to be filled quickly.
I happened to have something in mind for my next career.
‘assassin.’
He was one of the dealers who could inflict critical damage in one hit. He also had the advantage of being excellent at stealth.
‘The Swordsman’s Palace. The rule is for a party of 5.’
Warrior, Mage, Priest, Assassin, Archer.
How great must it have been that even in a world with Death Lords, three of those professions were included?
These five professions were known for having the best balance when put together.
Defense is the responsibility of the warrior.
Long range attacks are done by wizards and archers.
The priest provides support, and the assassin takes advantage of the gaps in the warrior’s defense.
‘What if we make this into a group of 5?’
What if we grouped five skeletons and spread out five professions like this?
What if there are hundreds of such groups?
Rather than just throwing things together as they are now, having a combination like this will have a much brighter future.
That’s why the skeletons chose assassin as their second melee class.
‘Because the archer can’t do it right now.’
There is a Seo Ye-rim who has the title of Shingung, but she has gone far away so I can’t learn from her right now.
So even assassins need to be trained.
As it turned out, there was a good teacher.
“Lee Seo-yoon.”
“why.”
“You should take charge of it, Skeleton Master.”
“… … Well, if you want to be picky, you have to be picky.”
“Don’t worry. I will faithfully carry out your revenge. In fact, if you want, I can do it right now.”
Although Jungyong Pharmaceutical is a large company ranked 31st in the business world, it is nothing compared to Ilsung.
Now that he had found out the inside information through Liang Xiaojun, it wouldn’t be difficult to exploit the gap.
“No. It’s okay for now.”
“Are you just going to leave it alone?”
“No, just harass me. If I suddenly fail, it’ll be too petty for that chairman.”
“Do you want me to slowly destroy you?”
“Oh. Killing is possible at any time.”
Lee Seo-yoon said with a murderous look in her eyes. It was an understandable motive.
Even if it’s Kim Min-woo, if he hears that his parents died in a hit-and-run accident and the criminal is living well, he’ll turn his eyes to revenge like that.
“Okay. Would half a year be enough? If you block the funds, it’ll probably collapse by then.”
“Half a year… … Okay. That should be enough. So, you want to make those skeletons into assassins? Like you made them into priests?”
“uh.”
Lee Seo-yoon is not a SSS-level talent like Han Si-a or Seo Ye-rim. However, she is a talent just below that level.
In fact, even just this much alone makes him one of the best talents in the world.
‘If it’s an assassin of that level… … only one comes to mind.’
One of the main characters of Gate Hunter.
Namgoong Min, a character with three difficulty levels.
Occupation: Assassin.
Talent is also an assassin.
He was a talent optimized for assassination. Then the game play difficulty would be easy, so why three stars?
This guy’s background was a mess.
‘It’s random.’
The starting point is random. The character background is also random. In addition, due to the nature of assassins, their real names are not often used.
Namgoong Min always used a pseudonym when playing other characters.
The common trait is that they always joined a criminal organization.
In other words, there is a very high probability that he is still active under an alias in some criminal organization.
‘How do I find this?’
If you only work in Korea, you might not know, but every time you start, the location is random, so you can’t tell where you are.
He’s not an easy type to find and swing around freely like Park Si-woo, who hasn’t even awakened yet.
‘Crucially, it’s dangerous.’
Because it’s strong.
Unless the player himself plays the character, Namgoong Min’s basic personality is close to a psychopath.
Finding it is a problem, and even once you find it, it is difficult to control.
So I just left it alone for now.
‘I guess I should start looking for it soon… … .’
All of the main characters received the existing warrior party weapons.
Except for Hansia, who changed her profession from a wizard to a priest.
If you find Namgoong Min, you will probably receive the Warrior Party Weapon (SSS).
It was true that he was a talent that was too good to miss.
However, there was something I was worried about.
‘Please, I hope you don’t just join the shadows.’
The Shadow, which has grown into a global criminal organization in this 6th stage.
Namgoong Min Special.
He’s a psychopath.
He is an excellent assassin.
Mainly involved in criminal organizations.
Isn’t this a great composition for holding hands with shadows?
Maybe at this very moment, he might be running wild in a third world country under an assumed name.
With the Shadow’s nameplate attached.
‘There, if you gather all the weapons of the warrior party, there’s no telling what might happen… … .’
The being that made the board.
The being that brought Kim Min-woo to this world. The being, presumed to be the highest-level angel, was desperate to give him the warrior party weapon.
As the Death Lord said.
That might be bait to raise the level.
‘Isn’t this supposed to be a picture of a waste material?’
When they all gathered, all the guild members were thrown as food to the legion commander… … .
This was also one of the reasons why I hadn’t looked for Namgoong Min yet.
‘But, I can’t not look for it for the rest of my life.’
I had to find it eventually.
Because SSS-class Awakeners are that precious.
Because now, he has grown powerful enough to search the entire world.
‘I should just explore for now.’
We can ask for help from the Ilseong Group and the US. Then, someday, we will be able to narrow down a list of similar candidates.
Approach can be considered later.
“Ah, Lee Seo-yoon.”
“why.”
“Follow me this time.”
“Where are you going?”
“Gate. We’re not fighting.”
“… … You’re saying you won’t fight while going to the gate?”
“Oh. It’s a special place.”
To be exact, it’s a gate mounted on a necklace. The dragon and witch’s jewels.
It was an item that allowed entry into the Oak Gate once every three months.
You could think of it as a kind of dimensional travel item.
On the path to growth, it was written to stop at the gate inside the necklace.
It was good to give a skeleton a job, so it will be the same this time.
I was thinking of doing that.
There are approximately 5 days left until entering the S-class gate.
‘That should be enough.’
The reason I took Lee Seo-yoon was to train the skeletons there as assassins. Time is money, so shouldn’t I make good use of my spare time?
[Activates special effects on necklaces, dragon and witch jewels!]
[The entrance to the already liberated gate opens!]
Pfft!
A bright blue portal opened inside the room, large enough for a person to pass through.
The moment I entered with Lee Seo-yoon.
“Huh?”
Kim Min-woo tilted his head as he saw the message appearing before his eyes.
