12.
The skeleton guards are E-class.
Kaka kaka! Kakaang!
On that topic, it was an out-of-spec entity capable of a 1:1 fight with a D-class lizard warrior.
‘He was capable of doing that from the beginning.’
1:1 with a D-class monster?
That was possible when the Royal Guard inherited the Death Scythe fragments.
Now that it’s been further strengthened, you can expect even more.
Seo Yi-jun recalled the message from earlier.
[[Death Scythe Fragment] absorbs [Gale Dagger].]
[Inheritance skill [Sickle Technique] level increases by 1.]
[Grade: E-Class -> D-Class]
[Options are automatically selected.]
[Sickle (D)]
1. Scythe attack power 120% -> 150% [UP!]
2. Consecutive Slash [NEW!]
-Attacks twice with 60% attack power.
The guard was fiddling with Kwon Young-woo’s dagger, but the dagger was absorbed into the Death Scythe fragments.
Even the rare equipment disappeared.
It was worth it.
‘Because the level of [Daenasul] has increased.’
The skill [Sickle Technique] possessed by the guards has become D-rank.
Not only has the scythe’s attack power increased, but it also has the additional option of continuous slashing.
‘Attacks twice with 60% attack power.’
Total 120%.
Looking at the numbers alone, it is weaker than 150% of a normal attack with [Sickle] correction.
However, depending on the user’s skill, consecutive hits can have effects that exceed the numbers.
And the bodyguard was a user with enough skills to do so.
-Less!
The scythe on the guard’s right arm rippled like a mist.
Consecutive strikes.
The first slash struck the lizard warrior’s scimitar, and the second slashed at his chest.
-Keruk?!
-Less!
The guards, who had gained momentum, trampled the lizard warrior with tricky movements that mixed normal attacks with consecutive slashes.
one side.
-Less than that~
The black magician was gathering black magic power at the tip of his staff.
Kwaaaaaaaah!
Finally, he threw a mass of magical power the size of his skull, causing a huge explosion to engulf the area.
‘It’s neat.’
Two lizard archers who had been stringing their bows disappeared without a trace.
[[Life Vessel Fragment] absorbs [Wind Ring].]
[Inheritance skill [Black Magic] level increases by 1.]
[Grade: D-Class -> C-Class]
[Options are automatically selected.]
[Black Magic (C)]
1. Black magic power 250% -> 500% [UP!]
2. Dark Arrow
3. Dark Burst [NEW!]
-Causes an explosion by releasing the condensed dark magic.
The Black Magic Soldier also absorbed Kwon Young-woo’s accessories into the Life Vessel fragments.
‘Dark Arrow remains unchanged, but the power of black magic itself has increased, so it will be affected by that.’
Dark Burst, which just caused a huge explosion, was also unlocked.
‘You can use Arrow and Burst alternately depending on the situation.’
Normally, the hunter would have to give instructions depending on the situation, but the black magic soldier has the ability to make his own decisions.
Just adding one option will increase your combat power by a lot.
But what we should pay attention to here is the level of [Sickle] and [Black Magic] itself.
‘It’s amazing that there are levels to the summoner’s skills.’
In general, the summoner’s level is the skill level.
Except for special cases like [Balanced Skeleton] personally engraved by Seo Yi-jun, there should be no grades themselves.
However, [Sickle Magic] and [Black Magic] had ranks.
That’s not all.
‘The skill level is one level higher than that of the two special troops.’
The [Sickle Technique] of the E-rank bodyguard is D-rank.
The [Black Magic] of the D-class Black Magic Soldier is C-class.
‘Strictly speaking, it’s because the owners of the [Sickle] and [Black Magic] skills are not the Royal Guard or Black Magic Soldiers.’
The Death Side fragments and Life Vessel fragments were the owners of the [Scythe] and [Black Magic] skills respectively.

‘So you can use a skill that’s one level higher.’
This was also a special case.
After a while, the battle ended.
[[Balanced Skeleton] proficiency has reached maximum.]
You are given the opportunity to grant higher skills to your skeleton troops. * * *
Seo Yi-jun’s [balanced skeleton] is permanently imprinted, unlike others.
‘I thought my proficiency would drop since I no longer had a chance to use my skills.’
Not at all.
‘Every time the skeleton of the skeleton was twisted and returned, the skill level increased.’
The skeleton soldier’s lower pelvis twists just by walking.
What if we fight just once?
There is no place from the cervical vertebrae to the toes that does not rotate.
‘The guards are also affected by the battle.’
Rather, they fought more fiercely than the skeleton soldiers, so they ended up getting beaten more often.
‘Black magic and magical weapons were no exception.’
When you fire your magic, the recoil causes your shoulders to fall and your knees to go out.
All of these situations have increased my proficiency in [Balanced Skeleton].
‘There’s also Kwon Young-woo and Lizard.’
Of course, torture cannot be left out.
[[Promote Balanced Skeleton]]
[Grade: E-Class -> D-Class]
[Time limit: None -> None]
[Points remaining: 5 -> 0]
‘It’s just the right time.’
I emptied all the points I had earned while absorbing magic power from the Black Gate.
[[Balanced Skeleton (D)] Adds one of the options below as a promotion reward.]
1. Weight gain of the skeleton
2. Lightweight skeleton
You are given two choices.
First, weight.
This is the defense increase option that Kwon Young-woo chose.
‘Even if the defense power increases, a skeleton soldier is still a skeleton soldier.’
It’s the same as a lizard warrior’s scimitar being split in two with one hit.
‘It just slows down for no reason.’
The concept is that the heavier the bones, the stronger they become, so it slows down accordingly… .
I know this better because I experienced it as an Old One.
I haven’t personally experienced it, but the lightweight option doesn’t seem to make much of a difference.
‘It’s no use trying to hurry up.’
It might make sense when fighting skeleton soldiers like before, but it’s slower than a lizard warrior anyway.
‘Rather, it just makes you weaker to shock.’
Contrary to weight gain, bones become lighter, which makes already fragile skeletons even weaker… .
There is no correct answer.
After much deliberation over what to choose, the necromancers each choose according to their own taste.
‘I don’t need it right now.’
Seo Yi-jun’s choice was to choose nothing.
There was no need to take a sure loss for a mere gain.
‘It’s a bit of a shame, though.’
It’s an additional option that I postponed myself, but there’s no change to the existing options.
‘[Balanced Skeleton] needs to have longer duration.’
Seo Yi-jun has no time limit.
Yes, that’s right.
It doesn’t mean anything.
‘I feel like I’m at a loss.’
I felt like I was at a loss because I didn’t get it when I should have.
“hmm?”
That feeling soon dissipated.
[Time limit has been lifted.]
[The promotion rewards have been changed and the options below have been added.]
1. Strengthening the bone
‘Bone strengthening?’
An option that fully enjoys the increased defense of weight reduction and the increased agility of light reduction, while eliminating all of the disadvantages.
That’s bone strengthening.
‘I thought I’d get this option already.’
It is not easy to obtain that.
First, it was an option that got both weight reduction and light weight reduction, making it plus or minus zero, and then came out.
So, it was like getting the effect from [Balanced Frame (B)], and that too with a time limit.
[The original grade of [Balanced Skeleton] granted to the Skeleton Corps has changed.]
[The [Balanced Skeleton] grade of the Skeleton Unit increases.]
[Grade: E-Class -> D-Class]
It was a bonus that the [Balanced Skeleton] imprinted on the Skeleton Troops was automatically promoted. * * *
“let’s go.”
The skeleton troop led by Seo Yi-jun headed straight into the swamp.
-Shhh!
-Swish, swish, swish.
As we went further inside, the size of the lizard group increased.
There were 8 of them at the beginning, but now they form groups of 12.
-Dalgrak!
-Kekeke!
But the skeleton troopers’ advance did not stop.
Skeleton soldiers were still slower than lizard warriors.
Still, it was difficult to handle that blow.
-Dalgrak!
-Dalgrak!
It’s definitely gotten faster.
It’s definitely gotten more robust.
Then, wouldn’t skeletal reinforcement be of little use to the black magic soldiers and magic soldiers in the rear?
‘How could that be?’
No, it is not.
As the speed increased, the entire process of gathering magic power, aiming at the target, and throwing the sphere became faster.
Thanks to the strengthened skeleton, the frame does not warp as easily even when shooting magic balls as before.
You can now attack faster and further.
Skeleton soldiers and magic soldiers enjoyed this level of effectiveness, so the Royal Guard and Black Magic Soldiers went without saying.
-Less!
The guards were able to buy enough time to fight off two warriors, even if they couldn’t win.
-Less than that~
The dark arrows fired by the black magician suppressed the arrows of four archers.
‘Everyone is fighting well.’
Seo Yi-jun climbed up a tree branch via a wire and observed the entire battlefield.
It wasn’t like they were specifically attacking with wires, but it wasn’t like they were just watching.
‘The consumption of magic power is not insignificant.’
Rather, it was the most magical power he had poured out since his return.
‘I have to calculate carefully.’
Even more than when hunting Kwon Young-woo, to the point where I had to calculate the amount consumed.
The name of this gate is Lizard Swamp.
Amidst the vast expanse of dense jungle, a muddy swamp spreads out below.
It was an advantageous environment for lizards who made swamps their home, but on the contrary, it was an unfavorable environment for skeleton soldiers who did not.
but.
-Dalgrak!
The skeleton troopers moved as freely as if they were operating on flat ground, if not even more so.
-Shhh?
On the contrary, the lizards tilted their heads at their increasingly slow movements.
Swish, swish… … .
It was because of the wire.
-Dalgrak!
Layers of wire were placed under the skeleton soldiers’ feet, which not only prevented them from sinking into the swamp, but also gave them resilience.
-Shh, shh!
For Lizard, he laid a web to hinder his movements, just like he did for Kwon Young-woo.
The environment that was advantageous to the enemy and disadvantageous to the allies has been reversed.
‘I’m starting to get the hang of it.’
Even that was a bit confusing because I didn’t know the exact trick until now.
The advance speed of Seo Yi-jun and the Skeleton Troops has become much faster.
[Entering the boss area.]
Finally arrived at the boss area.
-Swish!
Led by the boss monster lizard hunter, lizard archers formed a formation beyond the cover.
A few lizard warriors blocked the path, carrying shields instead of shmitter.
‘Is it possible to conquer the gate?’
Seo Yi-jun was predicting the possibility of a hidden boss.
With a perfect understanding of the characteristics and a cold, burning fighting spirit, he hunted the lizard.
‘But Kwon Young-woo is an obstacle.’
Kwon Young-woo, who gave away salon orchids, samples, and even coats, is holding back when it comes to conquering the gate.
I wasted time by causing internal strife instead of leaving the monster alone.
Points can be deducted from the hunting content or from the fighting spirit.
but.
‘What if Hunter Seo Yi-jun sees this as a process of clearing away obstacles?’
It wasn’t while hunting lizards that he fought Kwon Young-woo, but rather he was at odds with him from the beginning.
And the process was flawless.
‘If you grade it by those standards, wouldn’t it be almost perfect?’
Seo Yi-jun had made that prediction.
[A hidden boss appears.]
[Lizard Hunter (D) is upgraded to Lizard Swamp Hunter (C).]
That prediction turned out to be exactly right. * * *
A combination of a C-class boss and a D-class monster.
These are monsters that could be described as a disaster if you were to form a team of D-class hunters and encounter them.
[Conquered the Lizard Swamp (D)]
“after.”
However, Seo Yi-jun, commanding the reinforced skeleton troop, swung the wire spider web with increasing skill, and completed the hunt without much difficulty.
[Obtain 100 cores.]
You have obtained 10 times more cores than an E-class hidden boss.
However, unlike the Cobalt Village, no skill book appeared.
[D-Grade Gate Conquest Count [1/2]]
‘Unlike the E-class gates that can be conquered in one go, this one requires two conquests.’
Because the achievements didn’t show up.
So the Black Gate was not opened either.
‘I have to go through the D-class gate one more time anyway.’
Seo Yi-jun glanced at the message that appeared instead of the achievement.
[You have partially satisfied the qualifications to challenge the C-class Hunter Promotion Match.]
1. E-class gate strategy [OK]
2. D-class Gate 2nd Attack [1/2]
3. Acquire 2 or more D-class skills [OK]
Preparations for promotion to Class C were progressing step by step.
