27.
Li Wei is dead.
I also took out the bamboo strip as evidence from the inventory box.
However, Seo Yi-jun’s request to save Yeon Ha-seong and the trainee was not resolved.
‘I just met the target of rescue.’
Rather, it was just the beginning.
“Move.”
Seo Yi-jun led the group from the front.
Liwei’s explosion shook the canyon.
It was enough to cause the Garuda and Harpax eagles, who had been nesting far away, to come out.
Had to move location.
The place where the Yeonhasung party was was good for hiding, but not good for fighting.
These are people who have suffered physically and mentally from being isolated for two days.
In the meantime, one of the trainees was revealed to be a spy and his life was threatened.
“Is everyone okay?”
A B-class hunter, I don’t know if it’s because of the younger generation.
“Ugh, ugh.”
“Why is it hard to breathe?”
“I’m okay? … Ugh, ugh.”
The three D-class new recruits were already pushed to their limits.
C-class gate, Eagle Canyon.
Although not as striking as glacial or volcanic areas, the environment here also puts pressure on hunters.
‘Lack of oxygen.’
Eagle Canyon causes oxygen deficiency, leading to symptoms similar to altitude sickness.
It was not simply a phenomenon caused by altitude, but a phenomenon brought about by the flow of magical power.
Sararak.
Seo Yi-jun secretly untied the wire.
It was not intended to set traps or back up skeleton troops in preparation for an enemy that might be encountered at any time.
Swish.
The wire wrapped around the three D-class people, blocking the flow of magical power unique to the canyon.
Okay then.
“Huh? Something feels a little better.”
“Are you able to breathe more easily?”
“See! I told you I’m okay!”
The three D-class people whose complexions instantly improved were delighted without even knowing why.
‘… dominated the environment?’
However, Yeon Ha-seong couldn’t help but open his eyes wide because he realized what Seo Yi-jun had just done.
‘Is everything okay?’
It was amazing, but there were also some concerns.
When destroying Liwei’s cube, Seo Yijun consumed a considerable amount of magical power.
It was clear that the magical power manipulation that now governs the environment would require considerable magical power.
Will we be able to safely clear the gate in this condition?
Yeon Ha-seong soon put his worries aside.
‘No. I guess you have a plan.’
Judging from the short time Seo Yijun had shown, he was not the type of person to use up his magical power without any plan.
So, just put your worries aside and just admire it.
Until this point.
“……oh my god.”
Yeon Ha-seong didn’t know he would continue to be amazed like this. * * *
-Dalgrak!
-Clap clap clap.
-Come on!
The sound of the skeleton corps advancing filled Eagle Canyon.
-Dalgrak!
The lack of oxygen typical of Eagle Canyon had no effect on the skeleton troopers.
‘Because I’m not breathing.’
-Dalgrak!
Skeletons don’t breathe.
It was not affected by whether there was too little or too much oxygen.
-Keeeeeek!
-Koooooooooo!
A roar was heard from above the valley.
A flock of Harpax eagles and Garudas flew in on the downdraft.
-Come on!
-Come closer!
The skeletal beast soldiers ran forward, their fangs clashing roughly.
The beast of burden zigzagged along the jutting parts of the canyon.
Finally, just before the flying monsters and beast soldiers collide.

Woof woof woof!
Suddenly, a shrill noise struck the monsters.
-Ki-ge-ge-ge-ge!
-Kuhuuuu… … !
-Daughter!
It was the dragon peer of the Yuryongbyeong.
The flying monsters, gripped by fear, flapped their wings and crashed instead of descending.
-Come on!
The teeth and claws of the beast did not miss it.
-Keeeeeeee!
-Kueukeuk! Kuueukeuk!
Monsters that had not reached the range of Dragon Fear circled the sky and roared.
Papapak! Papapapak!
The Harpax Eagle fired its talons like bullets, and Garuda scattered her feathers, which were as hard as daggers.
-Less than more~
-Clap clap clap.
The Black Magic Soldier led the 4th Magic Soldier.
Gwagwagwagwa-!
A chain of explosions occurred.
[Black Magic] Dark Burst of the Black Magic Soldier.
And it was the magic sphere of the magic soldiers who had achieved [Magic Binding] with the remaining magic power of Dark Burst.
The barrage of bullets created by the chain explosions wiped out the monsters’ ranged attacks.
Seo Yi-jun thought.
‘I guess I’ll have to replenish my magic bottles next time.’
I’m saying that we need to increase the number of skeleton magic soldiers.
The Skeleton Beast Soldiers filled 29 units with Harpax Eagles.
There was also Garuda, a humanoid monster that was a skeleton soldier, so it was only a matter of time before we reached 100 units.
The problem is the skeleton magic bottle.
‘The number is still the smallest.’
The fourth machine made from the samples in Kwon Young-woo’s inventory box was the end.
There are no magic monsters in Eagle Canyon.
This way, not only will the skeleton corps be unbalanced,
‘… … The Black Magic Soldier might be dissatisfied.’
Even if it’s a skeleton soldier, there’s nothing to say if the black magic soldier who compared the number of beast soldiers and magic soldiers is upset.
While Seo Yi-jun was seriously thinking about the lineup.
-Less!
-Dalgrak!
The guards returned after leading the skeleton soldiers and clearing out the remaining monsters.
“Let’s go together.”
After adding the Garuda corpses to the skeleton corpses.
“Let’s set off again.”
He spoke to the group of younger men standing behind him.
“Oh, yes. Guys. Let’s go.”
Yeon Ha-seong, who had been blankly staring, flinched and spoke to the trainees.
“yes yes!”
Likewise, the trainees who had been standing there blankly answered in surprise.
Seo Yi-jun never rushed.
If you move at your usual pace, the trainees won’t be able to keep up no matter how much wire you protect them.
There was no need to rush.
‘The hidden boss doesn’t appear.’
Hidden Boss is a system that is only allowed to Seo Yi-jun, the regressor.
As long as there are juniors and trainees, the hidden boss will not appear.
‘I should take it as an experience.’
It’s not about just destroying the enemy in front of you, but moving forward while protecting people.
This was a good experience for both Seo Yi-jun and the Skeleton Troops.
‘We are also testing the power of the Skeleton Troops, which have been joined by the Beast Troops.’
Seo Yi-jun and Yeon Ha-seong’s group continued to cross the valley. * * *
When I first encountered the Harpax Eagle and the Garuda.
‘oh my god.’
Yeon Ha-seong was once again amazed.
‘Come to think of it, he was a necromancer.’
When I defeated Liwei, I summoned a three-headed winged beast soldier, but I didn’t use any other summons.
So I wasn’t aware of it properly.
“Come out.”
That is, until Seo Yi-jun said a word and dozens of skeleton soldiers opened their shadows and came out.
First of all, the composition itself is amazing.
‘There are three major types of diseases, right?’
There were skeleton soldiers, of course, but also magical soldiers and beast soldiers mixed in.
‘You’re already using C-class skills.’
It’s been a few days since you fought in the C-rank promotion match and you’re already using C-rank skills?
‘As expected, benefactors are different.’
It seemed possible for Seo Yi-jun.
‘The number of summons is also on a different level.’
The number of magic bottles is a bit small.
There are over 20 beast soldiers and over 30 skeleton soldiers.
It far exceeds the amount of normal [Summon Skeleton Soldier (C)].
“Let’s go together.”
After each battle, the number of beast soldiers and skeleton soldiers increased.
‘different.’
Thanks to this, Yeonhasung was able to tell the difference between the existing skeleton soldiers and the newly joined skeleton soldiers.
‘New soldiers are stronger than regular soldiers, too.’
Immediately after pulling the skeletons out of the corpse, Seo Yijun touched them carefully.
‘… … I don’t know if anything has really changed.’
Something must have worked, seeing as they were sturdier than the average skeleton soldier.
The existing skeleton soldiers that Seo Yi-jun commanded were far superior to this.
‘Only a D-class hunter in his first week of training.’
Well, if we really fight, the new hunters will win by a landslide.
The skeleton soldiers were no less skilled at utilizing their specs than the new hunters.
‘The beast soldiers aren’t really like that, but the magic soldiers are also handling magic power with a sense at the level of a new hunter.’
It was as if the skeleton soldier had learned [physical arts] and the magic soldier had learned [magic arts].
‘No matter how great your benefactor is, that doesn’t make sense, but if that’s not the case, then it can’t be explained.’
In fact, there was something else that made even more sense.
-Less!
-Less than more~
There were skeleton soldiers that were strong enough to take down a D-class hunter even in a 1:1 fight.
‘That wasn’t a joke.’
Yeonha Seong thought of the Hunter bulletin board on the day of the C-class promotion match.
There were many posts criticizing the skeleton soldier with a scythe on his arm and the skeleton magician wearing a black robe as being too strong.
I thought you were just joking.
-Less!
-Less than more~
It was no joke seeing him leading skeleton soldiers and magic soldiers to destroy the Harpax Eagle.
There is one more special entity.
-Daughter?
A winged, three-headed beast soldier whose head-tilting appearance makes you think it’s cute even though it’s just a bone.
The scythe-wielding soldier and the black-robed magic soldier are only slightly different from the existing soldiers and magic soldiers.
This guy was different, too different.
‘… … No matter how I look at it, it seems to be a dragon type.’
Every time there was a fight, the sound that was like a scream was clearly Dragon Fear.
No matter what, the person who was most admirable was Seo Yi-jun himself.
‘You’ve been maintaining this number of summons while consuming a considerable amount of magical power.’
Far from being tired, he seemed relaxed even while doing this.
In reality, Seo Yi-jun continued to protect the three trainees with his magical power.
It was originally Yeon Ha-seong’s job, and he said he would take over again.
“I want to keep trying it.”
Seo Yi-jun showed his enthusiasm.
“… … Okay, I understand. But if something happens, please leave it to me right away.”
As a young man, I had no choice but to say that.
Seo Yi-jun, who was a C-class hunter but felt like a complete person.
‘In the end, it was a perfect form within the range that I could perceive.’
But through this process, Seo Yi-jun felt like he was developing one step further. * * *
The next day.
After a few hours of rest, Seo Yi-jun woke up.
“I’ll be back soon.”
This time, Seo Yi-jun moved alone.
[Entering the boss area.]
This is because all the monsters in the area except for the boss area had already been annihilated.
-Keeeeeeee!
Garuda’s distinctive roar echoed through the sky.
‘Harpax powder.’
Boss monster of Eagle Canyon.
It was a giant, 5-meter-tall monster that was a hybrid of the Harpax Eagle and Garuda.
-Keeee!
As Harpax Garuda flapped his massive wings, the air currents in the canyon shook.
-Moon, Grak!
-Dalg, rock!
The skeleton soldiers in front rolled on the ground, unable to withstand the swirling air current.
-Keeeeeeee!
As Harpax Garuda shouted, the flying monsters around him moved.
Whee!
Unlike the skeleton soldiers rolling on the ground, the flying monsters freely manipulated the swaying air currents.
Taaaaaah!
The claws and feathers, accelerated by the air current, were enough to split the skeleton soldier vertically.
‘If it weren’t for the [balanced skeleton], there would have been chaos.’
The soldiers in the rear stumbled but did not fall.
So I defended against the projectiles, and they only managed to get an arm blown off or a skull pierced.
-Keeeeeeee!
Once again Harpax Garuda roared.
Ppagagak!
This time, the monsters came down on the air currents themselves, destroyed the skeleton soldiers, and then leisurely flew up.
It didn’t fly alone.
-Dalgrak!
He was holding the skeleton soldier’s shoulder with his claws.
Boom! Boom, Boom! Boom!
Skulls rained down here and there, soon hitting the ground and scattering bone fragments in all directions.
-Come on!
-Clap clap clap!
The beast soldier’s attempt to climb up the canyon, and the magic soldier’s attempt to restrain it by throwing magic balls.
Whioooooo!
Harpax Garuda stirred up the air currents, turning everything into bubbles.
‘It’s a level of domination over the environment.’
If Seo Yi-jun had actively intervened.
‘I’ll probably defeat the monsters that came down through counter-summoning and re-summoning, and block that air current.’
It would have been a different sight than it is now.
However, Seo Yi-jun was quietly watching the skeleton troop fight in the boss area as if he had been conquering the Eagle Valley.
Now, it seemed like there was no way out as the skeleton troop was being defeated unilaterally.
‘I was a little worried, but it was for nothing.’
In reality, that wasn’t the case.
-Less!
-Less than more~
-Daughter?
Royal Guard, Black Magic Soldiers, and Dragon Soldiers.
The 3rd platoon commander started moving in earnest.
