The Skeleton Soldier Became a Necromancer Chapter 26

26.

A being that appears in various myths and tales with a transcendental aspect.

Dragon.

It is said that dragons have special powers.

After the cataclysm.

A large number of monsters that seemed to come straight out of myths and legends invaded through the gate.

Of these, no real dragon has been discovered, either now or in the future.

‘The closest thing was the Lord of the Dead’s Bone Dragon.’

Instead, monsters classified as dragon type also used some of those powers.

The ability to fly, a strong body, light and strong bones, powerful elemental mastery, a destructive breath, etc.

This dragon has almost all powers with its [Dragon Power] skill.

Although the Dragon Soldier was of low rank, he possessed [Dragon Power].

Thus, the most basic power of the dragon.

Woof woof woof woof.

Dragon Fear.

The roar of the dragon soldier had a presence that overwhelmed the typist and instilled a primal fear.

Excluding the younger generation and the trainees whom Seo Yi-jun recognized as allies, he only recognized Li Wei, whom he recognized as an enemy.

“Hey, go away! Go away!”

Liwei’s cube distorted space and had excellent physical defense, but it could not stop the presence of Dragon Fear.

‘Since we were able to have a normal conversation, it’s not like the sound was blocked.’

Even so,

“Ugh, ugh!”

It was overly effective.

There are several reasons.

First of all, Li Wei was overconfident in his cube and made fun of the appearance of the Dragon Lord, but the Dragon Lord was a C-class, the same rank as Li Wei.

‘It wasn’t just Team Leader Yeon Ha-seong who was tired.’

After two days of spying in Eagle Valley, Li Wei was quite exhausted, although not as exhausted as Yeon Ha-seong.

Finally, the answer lies in [Dragon’s Power] itself.

[Dragon’s Power (C)]

1. Dragon Fear

-Deep: The fear deepens.

-Focus: Fear is focused on a specific target.

‘You little dragon, you only have one option.’

[Dragon’s Power] was of C grade, but there were no options other than Dragon Fear.

I used all the option choices in Dragon Fear.

‘It’s definitely different from the dragon soldier that Kwon Young-woo hatched.’

Kwon Young-woo’s Yuryongbyeong was different.

I was holding three different options.

‘Special units that inherit the commander’s items do not automatically have their options selected.’

The Royal Guard, Black Magic Soldiers, and Dragon Soldiers were all automatically selected without Seo Yi-jun selecting an option.

The subjects of automatic selection are none other than the special units themselves.

‘The dragon soldier read my mind.’

In accordance with Seo Yijun’s wishes, Dragon Fear has been strengthened in preparation for the current situation of the Skeleton Corps and the upcoming battle.

For these complex reasons, the Dragon Fear of the Yuryongbyeong worked properly.

“Ugh, ugh… … !”

Li Wei retched inside the cube.

“Ugh.”

I actually threw up what I ate.

As Li Wei’s concentration wavered, the cube also shook.

‘Found it.’

A crack appeared in the cube that had been perfectly distorting space.

In Seo Yijun’s sight, the cube already looked like a giant lump of bones.

‘cartilage.’

The gap in the cube was soon a very fragile cartilage.

It took all my magical power to break the hard part of the bone, the shinbone.

You don’t need that much horsepower to break cartilage.

Oh my god!

A thick bundle of wires tapped against the cube.

In one breath, the cube was leaking.

Seo Yi-jun swung the bundle of wires once again.

Oh my god!

The cube shattered into pieces, like bulletproof glass had shattered.

“Ughhhh?!”

However, in the aftermath, Li Wei, who was struggling in the Dragon Fear, came to his senses.

Li Wei bit his lip so hard that it bled red.

“Do you think this is what you’ll get? I was taken aback by the unexpected psychic wave, but I’ve trained enough to anticipate situations like this!”

Chararararak!

The broken pieces of the cube began to reassemble in an instant.

‘It’s difficult with wire.’

Given just a moment, I’d pull out the wire again and dig through the gap.

Now was the time when even that little bit of time was not enough.

Seo Yi-jun’s judgment was quick.

It was natural.

‘It’s going according to plan.’

Because I had anticipated this situation even before breaking the cube. * * *

A hunter’s body usually has superior specifications compared to a normal person.

Even so, the basis of a hunter is people.

Although they can deliver outstanding performance, their joints have limited range of motion.

If you make a move outside that range.

Crunch, crunch…!

Right now, a sound like Seo Yi-jun’s arm is coming out of a human body that shouldn’t be there.

Snap!

The arm twisted at bizarre angles, eventually rotating more than 360 degrees.

From the shoulder joint to the elbow joint, wrist joint, and finger joint.

My whole arm was a mess.

“Hot!”

Seo Yi-jun let out a short laugh and thrust his right arm into the gap in the cube.

But my arm, whose joints were a mess, didn’t have enough strength.

Crackle! Crackle!

For Seo Yi-jun, who possessed the [Bone Lord] trait, controlling his own bones was a simple task.

“Wow!”

Li Wei was the flagship.

“What’s wrong with your arm!”

Seo Yi-jun’s arm came crawling through the remains of the cube as if it were a snake.

This time too, I was taken aback by the unexpected movement.

‘no.’

Li Wei soon made up his mind.

‘Don’t be afraid.’

Seo Yi-jun’s arm was not threatening.

It didn’t carry much weight, nor did it have any special horsepower.

chin.

Soon, Seo Yijun’s palm weakly touched Liwei’s side.

“Phew…, huff…, hwaaaaaaaah-!”

Li Wei screamed, letting out the laughter he had prepared.

Application techniques of [Balanced Skeleton].

Even the B-class hunter, Kwon Young-woo, was left foaming at the mouth.

Li Wei was a C-rank hunter, and even he was a channel user who had never experienced fierce actual combat.

On the other hand, Seo Yi-jun’s magical power has become stronger than Kwon Young-woo’s, and his [Balanced Bone] level has also increased.

‘It seems that what I did to fix the trainee’s spinal fracture earlier helped.’

There he had developed a sense of melting the wire into his own.

“Khuu …

Li Wei tried to block it by raising his magical power and screaming in an unknown manner.

Boom!

It was a pointless struggle.

The sound of bones cracking came from Li Wei’s body.

Knock knock!

It was the sound of the ribs breaking one by one on the side Seo Yi-jun touched.

“… … .”

By now, Li Wei was no longer screaming.

‘I’m completely knocked out.’

Li Wei was something between a vertebrate and a mollusc, his eyes rolled back and he was convulsing in fits and starts.

‘What is this…?’

at that time.

Kwaaaaang!

“Wow!”

“Whoa!”

“Eww!”

A huge explosion occurred from Li Wei’s body, engulfing the entire area. * * *

Kookookookook… … .

The roar of the explosion echoed through the canyon, sending thick clouds of dust flying in all directions.

“Hunter Seo Yijun! Hunter Seo Yijun! Are you okay?!”

Yeon Ha-seong, who was freed from the cube at the same time as the explosion, rushed into the dust while shouting Seo Yi-jun’s name.

It was an unusual explosion.

I don’t know what would have happened if Seo Yi-jun had been caught up in an explosion of this magnitude.

“I’m fine.”

Seo Yi-jun appeared nonchalantly, shuffling through the dust as if he had first arrived here, and dusted off his coat.

“What the hell is going on? Did Li Wei blow himself up?”

“To be exact, it was a self-destruct. It’s a curse that causes Liwei’s magical power to go wild and explode when his vitality drops below a certain level.”

“… … Oh my god. It’s a gag.”

“I guess we should see it that way.”

I knew from my knowledge before the regression that Li Wei would explode if he died.

‘But I wasn’t sure.’

Until Li Wei completely lost consciousness, Seo Yijun wasn’t sure whether there was a curse of explosion or not.

The curse was that secretive.

It was only right before activation that a suspicious flow of magical power was revealed.

Thanks to his constant attention, Seo Yi-jun was able to escape at the last moment.

‘It would be rare even in China to be able to cast such a delicate and powerful explosive curse.’

There may be an A-class, or maybe even an S-class sorcerer involved.

‘… … How funny.’

Seo Yi-jun smiled bitterly to himself.

The world may seem stable at first glance, but it is not.

Even if you put all your efforts into conquering the gate, it’s not enough.

But, without any specific definition, we have to think of not only A-class Hunters but also S-class Hunters as the ones behind this dirty power struggle just to fill their stomachs.

At this point, it was so frustrating that it was funny.

“ha…….”

Meanwhile, Yeon Ha-seong, who had been sighing briefly while looking at the traces of the explosion, soon bent down towards Seo Yi-jun.

“Hunter Seo Yijun. Not only did you request a rescue, but you also tracked down and subdued the spy… … Thank you so much.”

“The spy gun is part of a rescue mission.”

“The case is too big to let go like that. If I testify and trace the name Li Wei, we might be able to figure something out.”

“That might help.”

Seo Yi-jun pointed to the inventory box lying on top of the traces of the explosion.

Yeon-ha-seong shook his head.

“Do you see the gold rope wrapped around the box?”

Liwei’s inventory box was tied tightly with a golden rope.

The trainees who had come up next to me reacted instead.

“Instructor, what is that?”

“Was the inventory box capable of being manipulated like that?”

“This is my first time seeing it in person, but I heard that the Chinese government’s direct hunters seal their inventories like that for security reasons.”

“Wow, China is tough.”

“You can’t break anything in that box? That’s unfair, what is it?”

“Yeah. If there was an S-class hunter, it might be different, but it would be hard for us. … … But why do you feel wronged?”

That was the reason why Yeon-ha-seong sighed while looking at the traces of the explosion a little while ago, or to be precise, the inventory box.

Because S-class hunters cannot enter Eagle Canyon and cannot move while carrying inventory boxes.

but.

“well.”

Seo Yijun slowly walked towards the inventory box.

Certainly, before the regression, I had seen S-class hunters unseal the boxes.

“I don’t think that’s necessarily the case.”

However, this does not necessarily mean that only S-class hunters can unlock it.

[Title [Usurper] is activated.]

[Releases the seal on the inventory box.]

A list of items in the inventory box along with a message appeared before Seo Yi-jun’s eyes.

‘I didn’t know it had this kind of function.’

[The Usurper] broke the seal on the box.

Even though it’s a C-class, I thought there would be something since it’s a channel user managed by the state.

‘Nothing much.’

There was nothing of use in Liwei’s inventory box.

‘Thanks to you, I can let go of my foolishness.’

[Usurper] is a title that allows you to obtain one additional item from your inventory box.

Normally, you can take out two items from the box.

‘[The Usurper] was consumed in breaking the seal.’

This time, I was in a situation where I could only take out one.

If there were any good items in Liwei’s box, I might have regretted it.

Because the items you get from the box were already decided.

‘If it’s sealed for security reasons, that means there are items in your inventory that are security-related.’

-Magic bamboo stick

A magical bamboo slip, one of the hunter’s notebooks that can be written and erased using magical power.

While Western hunters mainly used parchment, Eastern hunters tended to use bamboo slips.

‘I knew it.’

This was especially true for the General Administration of Superpowers, an agency directly under the State Council, China’s central administrative organ.

The Superpower General Bureau always issued orders to its people’s heroes, or hunters, through bamboo slips.

I thought it would be the safest.

“This is… … !”

Now the order is clearly revealed.

It contained detailed instructions on how to enter Korea illegally and enter the training center of the management office.

“You’re truly amazing! What you’ve shown us so far is amazing, but you’ve even unsealed the box!”

Yeon Ha-seong’s eyes were now filled with respect, beyond admiration and gratitude.

‘… … It’s a bit burdensome.’

Seo Yi-jun, who was respected by the legion as an Old One.

But it was the first time I received such a gaze from someone.

“Ahem… … You’re amazing.”

“Thank you, Hunter!”

“Thank you so much!”

It was a little, just a little burdensome to receive it from so many people at the same time.

“Let’s go out and say hello.”

Seo Yi-jun said, looking away for no reason.
