10.
‘Well, I’ll have to go through the D-class gate alone soon, so it’s better than struggling without one.’
Instead of just feeling regretful, Seo Yi-jun decided to think about the future.
‘Kwon Young-woo will be finished soon.’
This situation will end soon.
Certainly, the 31 skeleton soldiers were overwhelming the 50 skeleton soldiers.
but.
‘I guess we can win against the soldiers too.’
It was definitely not because of the skeletons’ fight that Seo Yi-jun judged that the situation would end soon.
Immediately after his return, Seo Yi-jun vowed to become the true master of the legion.
‘To do that, I had to hunt down Kwon Young-woo, who killed me.’
So I combined the materials to create a B-grade poison item, a permeating poison.
[Bone Lord], through conquering the gates, hidden bosses, and the Black Gate, he has become stronger than expected, but all of this is just to make hunting easier.
In the end, the key is poison.
“It’s almost time. Kwon Young-woo.”
“What if you repeat the same comment I made earlier? Are you afraid I’ll get scared? My magic power will start to wane now, right? Huh?”
“The only thing that matters is your life.”
After enough time had passed, the final stage of the hunting plan finally began.
[The poison seeps into your bones.]
“…Keuk!”
Suddenly, Kwon Young-woo burst into screams.
A pain that was not strong but definite hit my whole body.
“What, what is it? Class B poison, on that topic, ugh!”
B-class poison can no longer inflict damage on a B-class hunter who is on the verge of death.
but.
“Because it’s a specially made poison.”
The seeping venom of Arkreach Vision, by its nature, deals slight additional damage when it penetrates deep into the bone.
[Bone Strike (D)]
-When hitting a bone, the following effects are [certainly] activated.
1. Additional damage 15%
2. Critical activation
[Bone Strike] is activated there, and an additional 15% damage is added as a critical hit.
“This can’t be, no way. This can’t be, hehe, this can’t be, hehe… … .”
Kwon Young-woo laughed, shrugging his shoulders.
Seo Yi-jun didn’t laugh.
“It’s over. Kwon Young-woo.”
“I… I… Did you think I’d get treated like this?!”
Kwon Young-woo grabbed a dagger and rushed forward.
-Dalgrak!
Skeleton soldiers blocked Kwon Young-woo’s path.
Crunch! Crunch! Crunch!
When Kwon Young-woo danced with a dagger, it broke like a corn stalk.
‘also.’
He knows how to imitate various skills, and in his previous life, he ultimately chose to be a necromancer.
‘The class value is great.’
Kwon Young-woo’s basic class is thief.
Among them, since he rode the dagger tree, his close combat ability was excellent.
-Less!
Chae-jaeng! … Crunch!
Even the guards barely lasted one round before being reduced to rubble.
Kwon Young-woo growled energetically.
“Seo-i-jun-!”
Although the skeleton corps was torn apart in an instant, Seo Yi-jun’s gaze remained calm.
‘It came out as expected.’
[Bone Strike] made things a little faster, but everything went according to the hunting plan we had made in advance.
If it was Kwon Young-woo right after entering the gate, no matter how hard Seo Yi-jun tried, he wouldn’t be able to handle it.
B-class hunters and D-class hunters.
There was an unbridgeable gap between the two.
However, Kwon Young-woo imitated two of Seo Yi-jun’s skills.
In that state, I was hit by a B-class poison with my skill settings destroyed.
‘When a crisis arises, the Commander-in-Chief will always protect himself, no matter what the situation.’
If Seo Yi-jun had taken the risk and rushed in at that time, it would have been dangerous for him as well, but Kwon Young-woo didn’t do that.
He stepped back, sending out skeleton soldiers.
‘One of the reasons I wanted the Necromancer class in the first place was because I thought it would be safe.’
What if you feel a sense of crisis again in that situation?
‘Don’t rush in like that.’
In my impatience, I rush in with my vision narrowed significantly.
Seo Yi-jun predicted all of this and laid a trap.

“Ugh?!”
Kwon Young-woo’s movements suddenly became noticeably slower.
The dagger aimed at Seo Yi-jun stopped in front of his nose.
“What, what is it!”
I knew that my body was gradually becoming heavier.
I thought it was because he was close to death and in a dying state.
After I completely stopped moving, I felt an unfamiliar sensation all over my body.
“What is this?!”
As I quickly turned on [Scan], the silver-gray wire that had caused the first surprise attack to fail came into view.
It’s not just one strand.
“You… commanded the skeleton soldiers, and used this much magical power separately…?”
The wires, which were pulled out thinner and thinner, were spread out here and there like spider webs, camouflaging the bushes and sunlight.
Kwon Young-woo was a fly that threw itself into a spider’s web.
“This is nothing!”
The moment when Kwon Young-woo uses all his strength to untie the spider web.
Kwaaaaah!
“Ugh!”
Seo Yi-jun pulled the wire and delicately twisted Kwon Young-woo’s joint to activate [Bone Strike].
“Ugh!”
Plus additional damage from subsequent addictions.
‘Ha, just one breath! Just one breath!’
As the addiction and wire took turns dealing damage, I couldn’t gather enough strength to channel my magical power into my body.
Kwon Young-woo realized it instinctively.
‘no.’
There is no escape from this.
‘That can’t be true.’
He will die soon.
“I’m going to die, to a mere D-rank hunter! Seo Yi-jun, to you!!”
At first, I denied reality.
“Jun-ah, brother, you punk. Is there nothing I have to teach you? This is the end of the lesson. Relax your expression! Relax your expression too, hyung!”
Then she started to coo with a soft expression.
“Save me! Little brat! Save me!”
In the end, he got angry and begged for his life.
“Say something! Seo Yi-jun!”
“… … .”
Despite repeated pleas, Seo Yi-jun made no response.
Just before the return, when the Lord Commander shouted for him to return.
-Less!
-Less than that.
The bodyguards and black magic soldiers watched over Kwon Young-woo instead, while Seo Yi-jun did what he had to do.
-Dalgrak!
The task was to command the skeleton soldiers and subdue Kwon Young-woo’s skeleton soldiers.
But Seo Yi-jun couldn’t finish the job.
Persseok.
Kwon Young-woo’s skeleton soldier turned to ashes on its own.
There is one reason.
Kwon Young-woo died.
[Title [Lone Hunter] is activated.]
-All abilities increase by 1.2x
[Lone Hunter], which activates only when you enter the gate alone, has been turned on.
Sarararaak.
As the wire was retrieved, Kwon Young-woo’s body was lying on the floor in an unsightly state.
There wasn’t even a jolt.
“……after.”
The hunt is over. * * *
To use [Summon Skeleton], you need a monster’s corpse.
You can’t do anything with a human corpse.
However, Seo Yi-jun in his previous life was turned into a skeleton soldier by Kwon Young-woo.
“Let’s go together.”
Then I wondered if the opposite might also be possible.
‘It’s not working.’
Even when I used [Summon Skeleton Soldier] on Kwon Young-woo’s body, there was no response.
‘Well, I was the only one that Kwon Young-woo made into a skeleton soldier.’
It was a special option that was activated when a good matching trait was imitated.
Seo Yi-jun put his foolish thoughts aside and turned his gaze to the box placed next to Kwon Young-woo’s body.
‘Inventory box.’
When a Hunter dies, the subspace in their inventory folds and materializes.
It’s called an inventory box.
‘I can only take one out.’
There is only one thing Seo Yi-jun can take from the box.
As expected of a successful B-class hunter, there were various items in the inventory box.
What I would choose here was decided early on, as soon as I returned.
[Dragon’s Salon (S)]
A Sarongran that died inside an egg without hatching into a dragon.
‘……at las.’
Seo Yi-jun’s expression softened noticeably.
-Less!
-Less than more~
The bodyguards and black magicians also approached, shaking their shoulder blades.
In his previous life, the King of Hell succeeded in hatching this Sarongran and continued to evolve it.
The entity that was born at the end is this.
‘Bone Dragon.’
The strongest commander was the Bone Dragon.
This was the reason why not only Seo Yi-jun, but also the personal guards and black magic soldiers were happy.
‘… It’s not working after all.’
But Seo Yi-jun soon had to swallow his regret.
The Skeleton Soldier and Skeleton Mage immediately gave me a sense of where to place the Death Scythe Fragments and Life Vessel Fragments.
‘I had a hope this time too.’
Sarongran didn’t know where to put the broken dragon’s head.
‘Let’s put it in inventory for now.’
It was something I had guessed to some extent.
Well, the shell of the sarongran is not a bone.
‘All you have to do is make the beast bottle as originally planned and transplant the broken dragon’s words.’
Seo Yi-jun neatly put an end to his foolishness.
There is nothing more to see in Kwon Young-woo’s inventory box.
If you leave it like this, the whole box will disappear in an hour.
Another item in the box caught my eye.
-Siren specimen
-Goblin Wizard Sample
-Cobalt Shaman Sample
-Orc Warlock Sample
‘You drank a lot of kimchi stew.’
Seo Yi-jun laughed in vain.
specimen.
It is a special item that is completed by a gatherer gathering a large amount of materials from monsters and passing them through the hands of an alchemist and a blacksmith.
They are mainly produced for research purposes by countries, guilds, and research institutes, but in very rare cases they are used for other purposes.
‘If this is the case, [Summon Skeleton Soldier] will recognize it as a monster corpse.’
It was the summoning material for the necromancer.
‘I rarely use it though.’
It is rare for a necromancer to utilize a specimen.
Considering the time it takes for the gatherers, alchemists, and blacksmiths to work and the costs to pay them, it’s much better to just airlift monster corpses from the gate.
‘Even on the subject of riding an exploding tree.’
Kwon Young-woo hit the explosion mark for both the D-class and C-class options of [Summon Skeleton Soldier].
I was planning to take the option to summon a magician when I became B-class, but it was a far-sighted kimchi stew.
‘…What a pity.’
Seo Yijun opened the skill window.
[Summon Skeleton Soldier (D)]
1. Summon 1 Skeleton Soldier (F) from the monster’s corpse.
-Maximum Summon Number: [30/30]
2. Summon 1 Skeleton Magic Bottle (E) from the corpse of a magic monster.
-Maximum Summon Number: [1/10th]
Unlike the skeleton soldiers who had 30 slots filled, there were 9 empty magic soldier slots.
‘But I couldn’t just pick a sample from the salon.’
It’s just that I feel it’s a waste to throw it away, but I don’t regret my choice.
‘It’s a magic bottle, so just increase it by one at a time.’
Seo Yi-jun took his gaze away from the box and turned his body.
‘… … I think it will work?’
I stood in front of the box again.
Somehow it seemed possible. * * *
Inventory.
It is a separate space completely isolated from reality where hunters store their items.
Even an S+ rank hunter can’t do anything about a D rank hunter’s inventory.
The same goes for inventory boxes.
It is visible only in the form of a box, but cannot even be touched.
‘It might be possible.’
But Seo Yi-jun slowly nodded while looking at the inventory box.
‘Let’s try.’
Seo Yi-jun’s eyes calmly settled down.
I’ve been in and out of isolated, separate spaces countless times.
It is the pitch-black robe of the Lord of the Dead that came and went during the Old One era.
I unleashed my magical power, recalling the feeling from back then.
‘Found it.’
I detected a link between the inventory box and reality.
It’s in the form of a box, showing a list and allowing you to choose one.
Through the tiny gaps created, the feeling of bones could be clearly felt.
“Let’s go together.”
Finally, Seo Yi-jun gave the order.
Wince!
The bones inside the box moved slightly, but that was it.
Seo Yi-jun slowly spread his fingers and then clenched them again.
“Let’s go together.”
He gave the order again.
Something amazing happened.
-Clap clap clap.
Part of the inventory box’s contents disappeared, accompanied by the distinctive bone-crunching sound.
It was immediately clear where the missing list had gone.
“Come out.”
All the skeleton troops had already been summoned, but the summoning order was given again.
-Clap clap clap.
-Clap clap clap.
-Clap clap clap.
-Clap clap clap.
Four skeleton magic soldiers were summoned.
“Nice to meet you.”
At the monarch’s greeting, the skeleton magicians stood in a row, holding the hems of their robes and touching the floor with their staffs.
The specimens in the inventory box have become magic bottles and joined the skeleton army.
Of course, Seo Yi-jun’s actions are like this.
[Additional items have been removed from the inventory box.]
[Achievement <Inventory Box Robber> achieved!]
Recognized for his achievements.
