14.
Skeleton soldiers and zombies.
A necromancer riding a zombie tree and a necromancer riding a skeleton tree will both be at each other’s throats, arguing over who’s better…
The power of the two F-class undead monsters is virtually equal.
‘As expected, it’s a skeleton soldier.’
Therefore, it is also a shame for Seo Yi-jun to nod his head proudly.
but.
-Oh my!
-Dalgrak!
In reality, the battle unfolding before Seo Yi-jun’s eyes was one-sided.
It was a natural thing.
-What the heck?!
The zombie horde was just ordinary zombies inside the gate.
-Dalgrak!
Because the skeleton soldier was Seo Yi-jun’s skeleton soldier.
The basic specs themselves were different thanks to the [Balanced Skeleton], which was upgraded to D-class and had a skeletal reinforcement option added.
The basic specifications themselves were different.
‘Spread out your formation and attack. They have more numbers, but they’re just a bunch of zombies.’
There, Seo Yi-jun’s command brought out power beyond his specifications.
but.
-Ugh, ugh.
It was a bit difficult to stop 200 zombies, which is about 6 times as many, with 29 skeleton soldiers.
‘It’s time to get moving.’
Of course, Seo Yi-jun had no intention of just watching the skeleton soldiers vs. zombies.
Swish.
Silver-gray wires snaked across the ground, wrapping themselves around the ankles of zombies who were climbing up the hill.
-Really?
By the time the zombies lowered their heads, the wires had already cut off their ankles with a pale flash of light.
‘It’s noisy.’
As the zombies with their ankles cut off stumbled and fell, the zombies behind them also fell like dominoes.
Pupupupu! … … Pupupupupu!
-Clap clap clap.
Four skeleton magic soldiers fired magical balls that bombarded the defenseless zombie hordes.
Finally, there were special units, the bodyguards and the black magic units.
-Less!
[Sickle] Option 2, consecutive slashes.
It attacks twice with 60% attack power, and is an option that is used irregularly when fighting lizard warriors.
But when it comes to dealing with zombies, it’s a different story.
Crunch! Crunch!
Every time I swung my right arm, two zombies’ heads would explode.
-Less!
Since there were no particular restrictions on its use, the guards’ sickle swings did not stop.
-Less than that~
The Black Magic Soldiers were also busy without rest.
Phew, phew! Kwaaaaang!
He would pierce three or four zombies at once with the Dark Arrow, and would detonate the Dark Burst to burst zombies that were crowded together.
in result.
[Wave 1 ends.]
[Time remaining: 32 minutes 17 seconds]
200 zombies wiped out, 32 minutes left until the next wave begins.
The biggest feature of the Wave Gate was that there was a set time until the monsters appeared.
For the D-class strategy team, it was a sweet break like rain in a drought.
For the high-level hunters who come in at the request of the management office, it becomes a time of tedious patience.
Seo Yi-jun is neither.
‘I have to use my spare time wisely.’
Using both hands, he created wires and created various shapes, much like knitting needles.
I’m not playing.
It was sensory training to become more proficient at handling wires.
And training isn’t just for Seo Yi-jun.
“You guys, let’s roll hard too.”
Seo Yi-jun looked at the skeleton soldiers and smiled.
It was really the perfect gate.
This was a training that was possible because it was a wave gate that forced time to appear, and you couldn’t do it while trying your best at a regular gate.
But after a while.
‘… … ?’
Seo Yi-jun had to question the sight before his eyes.
‘Is this right?’
That too, quite seriously. * * *

D-class gate, hill of corpses.
In this place notorious for its zombie waves, the sound of bones echoed instead of the crunching flesh.
-Dalgrak!
-Dalgrak!
“… … .”
But the reason for that sound was completely different from what Seo Yi-jun wanted.
‘I wanted a match with an intensity that surpassed real combat.’
In fact, sparring does not have the effect of making the skeleton soldier stronger.
‘You shouldn’t look at it in the short term. Real-life training is meaningful only when you look at it in the long term.’
It may seem like you’re just rolling summons around without any meaning at the moment, but it will definitely shine in the long run.
So, I expected bone plates to be entangled without covering the bones inside the body, with dislocations being the norm, fractures being a must, and bone dust flying in all directions.
‘A real duel is only possible if you obey the summoner without fear of death or injury.’
Would you try that with a summoned creature like a demon or spirit?
On that day, the trust between the summoner and the summoner may be shattered.
‘In other words, only the skeleton soldier can do this.’
Actually, he could be a zombie, but it wasn’t Seo Yi-jun’s fault.
‘It won’t even affect blocking the next wave.’
No matter how fearless you are, if the training you have gained comes at the expense of combat, it is a waste of effort.
Skeleton Soldiers are also excellent in that regard.
‘Because there is pitch darkness.’
All I had to do was send it to the pitch black and have it restored.
This was possible not because of the skeleton disease, but because it was Seo Yi-jun.
however.
‘Is this right?’
Seo Yi-jun kept asking himself the same question over and over again.
-Less.
The guards stand in front of the 29th skeleton soldiers!
-Exactly!
-Taaaaak!
As the guardsman cracked his jaw, the skeleton soldiers clenched their jaws… no, their mouths.
-Tick! Tick! Tick, tick!
The guards struck the jawbone in time.
-Ring! Ring! Ring, ring! Ring, ring!
The skeleton soldiers came and started rolling in a line.
Stand up, lie down, roll to the left, roll to the right, stand up again, lie down, roll to the right, roll to the left… … .
“… … .”
I definitely said let’s roll.
He also said to roll it hard.
‘I meant it as a comparison to actual training, not something you wanted me to do.’
What if it really rolls?
-Snap! Snap! Shut, shut!
Gradually, the sound of my jaw bones began to sound like a whistle.
The red octagonal hat seems to be visible above the bare skull of the guard.
I was wondering what on earth that was.
[Skeleton Soldier (F) 29th class learns the basics of [Martial Arts].]
‘… That works.’
It was a good thing.
On the other hand.
It was also quite a sight to see what the black magic soldier did with the magic soldiers.
Unlike the skeleton soldiers who were rolling around like crazy, the magic soldiers were sitting calmly in a single line.
‘… …Is it meditation?’
He sat cross-legged, just like a magic hunter meditates.
Judging from the fact that everyone’s eyes have lost their light, it’s similar to having their eyes closed.
Then what does the black magic soldier do?
-Less than that~
He is walking back and forth behind her, holding her backpack… … .
Taaak!
Then, for no reason, he picked up a magic bottle with his wand and struck it on the shoulder.
The guy who was right clasped his hands together in greeting and then meditated again.
When monks meditate, it was similar to being hit with a bamboo stick.
“… … .”
I was wondering what the heck that was.
[Skeleton Magic Soldier (E) 4th unit learns the basics of [Magic].]
‘… That works too.’
As expected, it was a good move. * * *
[Physical Arts] and [Magic Arts].
These are basic skills that form the basis of martial arts and magic respectively.
Although they are not displayed in the status window, hunters acquire these upon awakening.
However, the lowest-ranking monsters, E-class and F-class, do not have such a foundation.
The only exception was a bodyguard who was an E-rank and had developed [Sickle Technique] beyond [Physics] through an inherited item.
‘The purpose of the actual training was to have the skeleton soldiers and magic soldiers acquire [physical arts] and [magical arts] later.’
So, Seo Yi-jun chose real-life training as the most efficient way to invest for the future.
Then, the royal guard and black magic soldiers came out and the results were achieved in an instant.
At first, I was confused as to whether that was right.
‘It’s a blessing.’
I was just grateful now.
It wasn’t just because the results were promising.
‘Death Knights and Archliches didn’t train their legions that way.’
However, the Royal Guard and the Warlocks trained the Skeleton Troops.
The difference was clear.
‘The Commander and I.’
The summoning subject was different.
The Royal Guard and the Black Magic Troopers personally trained the Skeleton Troops for their true monarch, Seo Yi-jun.
Thank you… … .
-Wow!
Taaak!
‘… … You’re not taking it out on the kids because your grades dropped, are you?’ * * *
[The second wave begins.]
[The second wave ends.]
… .
[Wave 20 ends.] * * *
About 20 hours after entering the gate.
Seo Yi-jun continued to fight and train while summoning his skeleton army.
All this time, the wires did not disappear from Seo Yi-jun’s hands.
A relentless march.
In that situation.
[The final wave begins.]
The final wave has begun.
Wave Gate has no boss area.
Instead, the last wave is 1.5 times stronger than the monsters, and in the case of the hill of corpses here, it spews out 300 zombies.
Urgh. Urgh.
-Uh… … .
-Ugh… … .
A horde of zombies filled the hill below.
However, this time, Seo Yi-jun satisfied the three gate conquest elements: hunting content, understanding of characteristics, and fighting spirit.
[Changed to Hidden Wave.]
The last wave became a hidden wave.
Honey.
A turbid mass flowed down over 300 zombies.
[Zombie (F) 300 bodies are improved to Ghoul (E) 300 bodies.]
300 F-class zombies turned into 300 E-class ghouls.
‘at las.’
Seo Yi-jun’s gaze was not directed at the ghoul and the message related to it.
[Skeleton Guard (E) learns [Command].]
[Skeleton Warlock (D) acquires [Magic Binding].]
Was it because he trained his troops during every break and led them during every wave?
The Royal Guard and Warlock have acquired new skills.
‘Great. I guess I can test it right away.
Hidden wave?
They were merely test subjects for the enhanced skeleton corps.
“Assault squad, charge.”
Seo Yi-jun gave the order.
-Less!
The guard ran forward, raising his right arm, which held a scythe.
-Dalgrak!
If it had been before, the remaining skeleton soldiers would have formed a tight formation to fight off the ghouls, but now it was different.
-Dalgrak!
The skeleton soldiers charged after the guards.
All of these were assault troops.
-Less!
With the guards at the top, the assault troops formed a wedge formation and charged up the hill.
-Dalgrak!
The assault troops clashed with waves of ghouls that were rumbling up the hill.
Wow wow wow wow wow!
There was a huge crash and the ghouls were thrown in all directions.
-Less!
‘The [leading] of the guards strengthens the group’s breakthrough power when standing at the forefront.’
-Dalgrak!
‘If it had been a previous skeleton soldier, it would not have been able to withstand the force and would have broken.’
However, the skeleton soldiers who had acquired [physical arts] in addition to bone reinforcement were able to overcome the breakthrough without difficulty.
It was the synergy created by the newly equipped skills of the assault troops.
‘I wish I could just push it all the way down the hill.’
Unfortunately, the assault brigade’s breakthrough power also had its limits.
-Oh my!
-Oh, oh my!
‘Tsk.’
There were too many ghouls.
It was noticeable that the assault unit’s breakthrough power was gradually decreasing.
‘If this continues, the mass of the ghouls will swallow up the assault troops.’
It’s okay to send it back to the pitch black and then summon it again, but it leaves a bad aftertaste.
“Magic Troops, it’s your turn.”
The skeleton corps wasn’t just comprised of assault corps.
There is a magic troop consisting of black magic soldiers and magic soldiers.
-Less than that~
Shushu shushuk!
First, the black magician fired four dark arrows, piercing the heads of more than ten ghouls.
-Clap clap clap.
Then, the magic soldiers fired the magic balls they had prepared in advance.
Four magic balls that are 120% larger than before thanks to the application of [Magic].
The magicians threw their magic balls exactly along the Dark Arrow’s trajectory.
Kuuuuuu!
Suddenly, the magic ball began to turn black like a black magic bottle.
‘Dark Arrow’s remaining magical power and magical orb were combined through [Magic Binding].’
In this way, it is strengthened with [Magic] and the combination of [Magic Binding] is achieved.
Kwakwakwakwakwang!
The four magic balls showed off their power that was more than doubled.
-Less!
-Dalgrak!
Meanwhile, the assault troops regrouped and swept through the ghouls again.
-Less than that~
-Clap clap clap.
The magic troops dug a hole in the ghoul horde in the same way.
‘That side is done now.’
With the assault troops running wild and the magic troops bombing, it was only a matter of time before the ghouls in this area were cleared out.
Seo Yi-jun turned his head backwards.
-Ugh.
-Oh my god.
Behind the hill.
There was a herd of about 150 ghouls coming up without any disturbance.
“Come in.”
Seo Yi-jun’s hands moved splendidly like those of an orchestra conductor.
Puppupupupupuk-!
The ghouls were torn to pieces, splattering rotten blood.
[Conquered the Hill of Corpses (D).]
