Damn Necromancer (32)
Apprentice (2)
In a melee.
A ghost knight blocked the way.
―… … human?
The knight looked puzzled at himself and at Cedric standing next to him.
It was then.
―Chwiik!
Two Orc chieftains rushed towards him as if throwing themselves.
The second Urkan and the third Dekum.
They were the best Orc warriors.
The two axes collided with the knight’s sword.
thud!
Despite the overwhelming level difference, the Chiefs were not easily pushed out.
‘This is the equipment.’
The knight’s hands and feet became dizzy.
Gaps were visible here and there.
Cedric and Minwoo Kim.
For the two of them, finding a loophole was so easy that it made them yawn.
Sigh!
-Oops!
Between the armor.
A ghost knight who dies happily when you stab a silver-plated sword into the seam near his heart.
Cedric’s spear also cleverly pierced the knight’s body.
The body of the guy who could not hold on for even a minute melted under the combined effort of the four.
at that time.
Ellum’s eyes turned blue.
The moment he stretched out his staff forward.
Phew!
Hundreds of undead rose from the ground.
Over two hundred ghouls.
In addition, there are up to 10 Dullahan.
“Cough, clear the way!”
Ellum shouted, his complexion turning pale, as if he had used up all his mana with this one spell.
A group of ghouls and Dullahan cleared the path, paying no heed to the barrage of arrows.
Chimeras and ghost knights also contributed. I felt a strong will to penetrate only one direction, regardless of whether or not I was attacked from all directions.
‘Well, I knew that would happen.’
Even if the elf hadn’t come, the odds would have been high.
Almost two thousand oaks. Among them, close to half were armed.
Even if they had fought normally, Ellum would have had a hard time, and to make matters worse, they were even ambushed. The odds of winning were already tilted in this direction.
How many choices are there in a situation like this where we are under siege and in ruin? At most, it’s just a one-point breakthrough.
‘The more you do that, the more the soldiers melt.’
It was still like that now.
Only drills in one direction?
This means that it is infinitely vulnerable to being left behind. Every time the orcs struck with their axes, Ellum’s minions were dying helplessly.
‘I’ll try to finish this soon.’
Unlike Ellum, his mana capacity is fresh.
After seeing the message that they had departed, the summoning of the skeletons in the blacksmith shop had been canceled.
Summoning is possible at any time.
Now it was time to utilize the skeletons we had saved.
White hands grabbed hold of their feet as they tried their best to clear the path.
The staggering army of Ellum.
In front of them, a group of skeletons were summoned and running towards them.
“Yes, necromancer?”
Elum’s eyes fluttered as he was taken aback by the unexpected sight.
The skeleton army rushes towards its own army as if it were self-destructing.
The weapons and levels were poor, but the problem was the fact that time was taking a long time.
“Damn it! “Why are you coming back to life again?”
The one you thought you killed moves again and sticks to you like a tick.
Even if I tried to ignore it, I couldn’t. Because every time that happened, he was holding onto her entire body and dragging her.
The orcs latched onto the slowed down minions.
Ellum’s army quickly diminished.
“Cough, break through! Break through… … !”
When I managed to get rid of the group of skeletons like that.
“I lived, I lived… … .”
It was a despairing sight.
Once again, a thousand skeletons were blocking their path.
“Ahhh… … .”

Despair appeared in Ellum’s eyes as he looked around. Dullahan, ghouls, corpse collectors, and even wraith knights.
In total, there are less than twenty left.
To clear the way.
For getting hit by an arrow.
Time is running out.
They all died.
From behind, orcs were approaching, drooling.
‘I’m a bit sorry.’
The effect of the highest level mana potion should be amazing. With just one bottle of this, I was able to fill up my mana to full capacity in the low level section. Unfortunately for Ellum, Minwoo Kim was rich in potions.
―Chwiik! Kill everyone except that human!
The orcs faithfully followed his instructions.
Soon, only Ellum and the teeming orcs remained on the snow-covered land.
I approached the guy.
“Huh. “Huh.”
Ellum was seen gasping for breath, perhaps because of the pain in his chest where the arrow had hit him. He looked at Kim Min-woo with bloodshot eyes.
“You, it was you… … Uniting the orcs… … !”
“okay.”
“Cough! Save me! If you kill me… … “It will be truly irreversible!”
“If I don’t kill you, can I turn it around?”
“Yes, yes! The Apostle does not know this yet. “If I speak well, I’m sure he will forgive you.”
“You don’t know yet?”
Nod!
Ellum nodded vigorously and said.
“Yes. Your undead are special. It’s coming back to life! He will definitely be able to play a big role in these fortresses as well. Then, all kinds of rewards… … .”
I cut off the guy’s head.
[Necromancer ‘Ellum’ has been defeated!]
[Your level increases by 2!]
‘oh.’
Even though I only hit the last hit, the experience point was great. He was definitely a high-level name.
That wasn’t the only reward.
A book glowing next to his body.
When Kim Min-woo saw that, his eyes instantly became serious.
‘It’s a binding skill book!’
When you kill a monster, it will drop a skill book.
The skill books that dropped like that had random occupations. The efficacy itself was not that great.
‘Because only basic skills are dropped.’
If you are a necromancer, summon a skeleton or a mage.
For swordsmen and wizards, things like elemental mastery and swordsmanship mastery were the same.
These were usually called ‘basic skills’.
These are skills that are actively traded because they are dropped from monsters on random days, and even if you can’t get them, you can quickly find them by combining them.
‘Literally, these are just basic skills if you learn them.’
In other words, it meant that it was a ‘basic only’ skill.
If you want to serve 2 or 3 servings instead of just one, you need to learn special skills other than those.
A representative method was the awakening achievement. If you achieve a high level of achievement, you will be given a bunch of skills that even the highest awakened person can’t get at level 1.
‘That’s why people are so excited about their achievements.’
Minwoo Kim was like that too.
So didn’t you learn the devilish skill called Death Lord at level 1?
Another way was to obtain a binding skill book.
belonging.
Simply put, it is an item that cannot be traded from the moment it is acquired.
As such, it had such powerful efficacy. Once acquired, the occupation and usable level are aligned.
There is no such thing as an unfortunate situation where you obtain a bound skill book but cannot learn the skill due to a different job or lower level.
‘There… … .’
In the bound skill book, much better skills appeared instead of basic skills.
‘The ranking varies depending on how many of these skills you have.’
As effective as it was, the drop rate was very low. First of all, it was safe to say that it rarely appeared in general monsters.
‘It’s a named mob after all.’
It was rewarding to hit the final blow.
I picked up the binding skill book with a happy heart.
[Obtain a bound skill book.]
[Obtain the Necromancer Skill Book, Bone Exchange (B)!]
‘… … huh?’
Bone exchange?
I looked at the contents.
[Bone Exchange (B)]
[Level limit: Level 75 or higher]
[The summoned animal’s bones can be replaced for each part. However, replacement beyond capacity is not possible. Capacity is proportional to the average level of the summon.]
[Relevant summons]
[Skeleton (Capacity 0/25)]
[Skeleton Mage (Capacity 0/17)]
[Cedric (Capacity 0/75)]
‘oh.’
I felt like I knew roughly what the effect was. It would be a skill that would have some effect by replacing a bone with another.
‘I think this will suit me very well?’
Can’t you just buy the bones with money?
[Would you like to learn this skill book?]
“of course.”
It is a skill that appears to be very effective at first glance.
There was no reason not to learn.
[Acquire Bone Exchange (B)!]
at that time.
Urkan approached.
―Chwiik! Big brother! Those cuties over there said they wanted to see big brother! So first of all, I didn’t kill him!
As they say, far away.
Figures wearing robes were gathered together.
“good job. You can’t carelessly pick up an axe. “Except for the witches and Bingryong’s forces.”
―Chwiik! Urkan is smart! I remember everything you said!
“I’ll come back, so just wait.”
―Chwiik! i get it!
I approached the elves.
Then one of the elves came forward as a representative.
“Nice to meet you. “My name is Elise, forest keeper of the Mother Tree.”
“My name is Minwoo Kim. Thank you for your help. Thanks to you, the fight ended easily.”
As I received help, I first bowed my head politely.
Elise nodded and said.
“I heard a rumor about you. “They’re forming a resistance group against witches.”
“you’re right.”
“Can we elves also join the resistance?”
I tilted my head.
Elves are a race famous for being stern and closed-minded.
But first, he comes to you with a beoseonbal and helping you isn’t enough, so he asks you to join the party?
There was no reason to act like that unless I was on fire.
“Elise. Before that, let me ask you something. Are elves also being attacked by witches?”
“… … yes.”
“I don’t think things will be good.”
“… … “That’s also true.”
“sorry. It is true that we received help, but I think it would be difficult to decide to join based on that alone.”
“… … Is this a rejection?”
“no. “It’s not a rejection, it’s just that I think we need to talk more.”
“Tell me please.”
“Dwarves supply weapons to Orcs, and in return they are guaranteed safety. “Maybe the elves want something similar, right?”
“you’re right.”
“So what can the elves give our resistance in exchange for guaranteed safety?”
“I can provide you with troops and a map of the surrounding terrain.”
“What is the size of the army?”
“Just about us here… … .”
“It’s not enough. Absolutely.”
I shook my head.
It is true that the elves helped, but at most they only sent about 30 people to hunt them down.
On the other hand, what if you help the elves?
As the situation looks dire, hundreds of orcs will die.
Exchange that for 30 elf troops for one map?
Both are useful things, though.
‘Still, it doesn’t fit the budget.’
This is the worst deal of the worst.
The help I received so far was at best just handing over some dwarven equipment and ending on a warm note, not at the level of throwing blood money everywhere.
“… … Then we can supply fruits, herbs, etc…. … .”
“Elise. Does our resistance’s blood price seem that light? “Enough to ask hundreds of orcs to die for this much help?”
She was speechless.
“We received help, so we will repay you. “I will give you dwarven equipment, so please leave now.”
Where are you going to eat me?
I turned around without hesitation.
It was that moment.
“… … Wait!”
Elise hurriedly ran over and grabbed her shoulder.
“Please tell me what you want.”
“The divine fruit of the mother tree. And a large supply of potions. “I’ll have to take it to this point.”
Shingwa is a fruit with good health that only occasionally grows on the mother tree.
Additionally, the elves were a race renowned for their alchemy. He is good at making things like potions.
Both were representative items that could be obtained from elves.
‘It’s not really a rip-off.’
To be honest, I thought this was worth risking my life to protect.
Otherwise, the dwarves will be greatly offended.
“… … !”
Her ears trembled.
The elves behind were equally agitated.
“God! “No, Elise!”
“There aren’t enough potions for us to use! “What’s more, it’s supplied in large quantities!”
The elves were horrified and opposed.
I looked at Elise.
“If you don’t like it, just refuse.”
“… … “God is a precious treasure.”
“Our lives are just as precious.”
“… … “Weren’t you fighting a witch?”
I chuckled.
This elf is mistaken about something.
“So? We are a group that fights witches. “But not the elves’ babysitter.”
“But if we fail, so will the resistance… … !”
It’s ruined.
Seeing those words coming out, it seemed like the elves’ situation was very urgent.
And yet you’re suggesting something like that?
I heard that racial characteristics don’t go anywhere.
It was a noble race.
“is it so? I’ll take the time until it’s about to fail. “We will make good use of that time.”
The elves are buzzing.
Are you really not going to help me?
I guess that’s the vibe?
So what should we do?
I felt like I could clearly see their thoughts.
If you don’t have teeth, your gums get cold.
I think they’re trying to stick to that feeling.
‘It’s not some kind of hostage game.’
Elf?
Of course it’s good to have.
But you don’t die without it.
This was even more so now that the orcs had gathered and the ransom was much higher.
Elysee seemed to realize the seriousness of the situation and spoke with a stern expression.
“… … Please give me some time to think for a moment. “We also need time to decide.”
“I’ll give you 5 minutes. After that, I decline any offers. Then get the equipment and leave.”
Elise nodded and the elves talked from afar.
It seemed like a heated discussion was going on as the shouts rang out.
When exactly 4 minutes and 55 seconds have passed.
Elise approached.
“… … I will accept it. but… … Supplying large quantities of potions is realistically difficult. “There are not enough alchemists to create them.”
“Then you can make it.”
“… … “What do you mean?”
“Alchemist. “We have a lot of dreamers.”
That number also exceeds one thousand.
