The Skeleton Soldier Became a Necromancer Episode 034
C-class gate located in Gyeonggi-do, Colosseum of Wrath.
[Colosseum of Wrath (C)]
[Number of people allowed: Up to 5 people]
[Number of channels remaining: 50/50]
[Number of attempts remaining: 100]
This is a new C-class gate that was created recently.
However, there is a clear difference from the general C-class gate.
“Hey, reporters! You can’t come inside this line!”
“You must follow the rules! If you keep doing this, you will be evicted!”
There were too many reporters.
There were so many that the management office staff had to step in and control them.
A C-class gate is usually handled by a major media outlet, and at most, one new reporter is assigned to it.
In terms of professional sports, it’s about the level of interest a second-tier game would be.
But this time it was different.
“What brings you here, Manager Kim? Even when you were working in the field, you never looked down on anyone below Class A.”
“No? Didn’t reporter Choi say that he only covers the field these days? What’s going on at the C-class gate that graduated last night?”
Veteran reporters who had long since left the C-class flocked in.
“Hey, this is too big of an issue for the C-class specialists to handle.”
“Haha, that’s right. That’s why I came too. Look over there, there’s foreign media too.”
That meant that the Colosseum of Wrath was getting a lot of attention.
Looking at the faces of those participating in the gate raid, it was understandable.
Gates of C grade or higher are exclusively available to the guild that purchased the ticket, but sometimes a quota is given to freelancers. This time, it was different.
Flutter!
First, the tent of the Haetae Guild, with a flag with a picture of the imaginary animal, Haetae, on a blue background.
“Haetae C-1 team, where all members will be ranked B early next year! They may be modest, but their performance is top-notch.”
“If the part where the individual doesn’t stand out is Haitai-like, then it is Haitai-like.”
Flutter!
Next is a wave reminiscent of a gate, a flag with an X in it blocking it, and the tent of the administration office.
“He’s a very flashy guy, the opposite of Team C-1. He suddenly became famous for being the number one player in the promotion match. He has a great appearance and an interview skill that allows him to pick only three questions and answer them without hesitation.”
“There really is no star.”
Originally, there should be just these two.
Flutter!
One more was added out of nowhere.
It was a tent of the Beast Gate with a flag with a roaring tiger design fluttering.
“But the original star is this one.”
“There’s nothing missing in terms of bloodline, skills, and personality. Even his appearance is very manly with bold lines.”
“Hey, this guy, you’ve been talking about my looks all this time?”
“Hey. How important is that these days? Look over there.”
Chot chot chot chot chot chot!
Just then, the camera shutter sounded like a firecracker.
There, Seo Yi-jun and Jose Woo were facing each other.
[Seo Yi-jun & Jose Woo “Let’s have a good match” Friendly rivals!]
[A meeting of C-class supernovas carrying the future of the Republic of Korea!]
Articles containing that image were published one after another with hopeful titles.
“… … .”
“Sorry, sorry. I’m a little short-sighted.”
An awkward atmosphere hung between the two. * * *
Seo Yi-jun checked his watch.
‘9:30.’
The gate raid is scheduled to begin at 10 o’clock sharp.
30 minutes left.
I guess I could just meditate and wait.
‘I have to meet that idiot sometime.’
Seo Yi-jun got up and left the tent.
“Open! It’s Jun!”
Just then, the idiot Jose was approaching from the other side.
Today I was wearing a sleeveless top and shorts.
“How have you been?”
“I was doing well.”
“so do i!”
Although Seo Yi-jun insisted on using the past tense, Joseu smiled brightly.
‘this guy.’
It’s not that I didn’t know and just passed it over.
I didn’t know it in my head, but I knew it intuitively, and yet I just let it go.
“Oh, I got [the Solo Hunter]!”
Even before Seo Yi-jun could open his mouth, he quickly brought up another topic.
“… That was good.”

Seo Yi-jun started out as a solo hunter, so he immediately earned the title of [Lone Hunter].
Originally, it was a title that could only be obtained by soloing the raid 5 times.
“Of course I broke it at D-class.”
The good news is that it doesn’t just hit gates of the same level, it also hits gates one level lower.
Joseu went to D-rank, not C-rank, and obtained [Lone Hunter].
“But after I got the title, I didn’t see any results because I was working as a team?”
“I guess so.”
“I’ll finally check it out today!”
“…What are you talking about?”
“What is it? [Lone Hunter]. I’m so curious about the feeling of becoming 1.2 times stronger when entering the gate alone?”
“So… … you’re going to go into the Colosseum of Wrath alone?”
“Yeah! I’m going to do it alone today! Jun, you’re going to do it alone too, right? You said you don’t have any teammates!”
The media and the public interpreted Seo Yi-jun’s interview saying he had no team members as meaning he was in the process of forming a team.
Jose Woo guessed Seo Yi-jun’s intentions exactly.
“If you were recruiting team members, you would have contacted me, of course!”
“?”
The basis for this was a bit strange, though.
“Did you get permission from your father?”
“What? A solo attack?”
“okay.”
“Yeah. He gave me permission, saying that at least I wouldn’t die because of my lack of skill.”
If there was a guarantee from the Beast Master, Seo Yi-jun would also be at ease.
“But why on earth do you want to do this? If it’s a title effect, you can check it at D-class.”
“That’s not fun.”
Joseu chuckled.
fun.
At first glance, it may seem like an expression that doesn’t fit the life-threatening gate strategy.
In fact, it was an expression that fit very well.
‘For a type like Jose, that fun is like a fighting spirit.’
If it was a strong will to hunt monsters, it was a fighting spirit no matter what direction it took.
“And it seemed like a good opportunity.”
“season?”
“My grandfather was the founder of Korea’s first guild?”
“I know.”
“And my father is Korea’s first S-class hunter.”
“I know that too.”
“I am proud, but my achievements are too great. If things continue like this, no matter how successful I become, I will have a hard time shaking off the glory of my grandfather and father.”
“… It won’t be easy.”
That was actually the case.
When he became an A-class hunter, phrases like “three generations in a row” and when he became an S-class hunter, “following in his father’s footsteps” followed Joseu around.
“I hate that.”
Jose’s smile grew even deeper.
“I really respect both my grandfather and my father! But wouldn’t it be filial piety to surpass them?”
“… … .”
Seo Yi-jun was silent for a moment.
“Sorry, sorry. I’m a little short-sighted.”
Jose suddenly waved his hand.
“huh?”
“I’m so sorry! Miaaaaan!”
“… … It’s okay.”
“I’ll buy you a meal next time!”
“Okay.”
Seo Yi-jun had no choice but to accept the apology, even though he had to bow his head.
‘I’m sorry for the misunderstanding.’
It seems that Seo Yi-jun took a different approach when he was silent for a moment during the part about filial piety.
‘Because I’m from an orphanage.’
This was because Seo Yi-jun had no parents to take care of.
But Seo Yi-jun’s silence was absolutely not for that reason.
‘I will surpass them, Ra.’
Now, Jose is loudly proclaiming that he will go beyond the influence of his grandfather and father and carve out his own territory.
‘I couldn’t do that.’
When the opportunity to surpass his father came, he hesitated and eventually let the opportunity slip away.
This hesitation was one of the great turning points in the future of humanity.
“Ha! Are you two getting along well and getting along well?”
A third voice intervened.
It was the fierce-eyed C-1 team leader, Kim Woo-hee, who proposed this match to Seo Yi-jun.
Chomp chomp-.
A shabby shutter sound was heard compared to when Seo Yi-jun and Jose Woo met.
Kim Woo-hee quietly ground her teeth.
“Where are the other team members? Are you two planning on going in as a pair?”
“No way.”
“Hey, don’t do that.”
“Then gather the team members right now. It’s almost time!”
Kim Woo-hee said, nodding toward the gate.
Four members of Haitai C-1 team gathered in front of the gate and did a light warm-up.
Seo Yi-jun suddenly spoke to Kim Woo-hee.
“I have a good eye for detail.”
“What are you saying? Ha, haha! Reporters! Did you hear that? What is he saying? Is he trying to trick me? Or is he trying to flatter me to give him some leniency?”
“You have a weak backbone.”
“Does that mean I’ll let you, what, what? What did you just say!?”
“No matter how good of a wizard you are, if your frame is like that, it will hinder the circulation of magical power and the angle at which your magic is fired will be distorted.”
“Hey, this kid?!”
Kim Woo-hee’s neck got a bloodshot look.
Chot chot chot chot chot chot!
The reporters didn’t miss the timing.
“And I don’t need a teammate. I’ll go in alone.”
“What? Hey, what’s he saying? Are you crazy? Hey! Are you crazy, your friend?”
“Huh? I’m going alone too?”
“… … Uh, what?”
Kim Woo-hee slurred her pronunciation in embarrassment.
Kim Woo-hee wasn’t the only one who was embarrassed.
“You’re going in alone? Hunter Seo Yi-jun and Hunter Jose Woo too?”
“Even if I could do it solo, wouldn’t this be a speed run?”
“Right. I don’t know about Joseu Hunter, but shouldn’t Seo Yijun Hunter be like that?”
“You didn’t promise to join the Haetae Guild after going to such lengths, did you?”
“Well, I don’t think it’s that kind of atmosphere?”
The reporters surrounding the area were also in an uproar.
Whatever.
“It’s ten o’clock sharp!”
Seonwoochan announced 10 o’clock sharp in front of the gate.
“Excuse me.”
Seo Yi-jun passed the others and entered the gate. * * *
[Enter the Colosseum of Wrath (C).]
Colosseum of Wrath.
As the name suggests, it is a large stadium.
Unlike regular gates, there is no need to explore the surrounding area.
‘I can’t explore it.’
Because the only thing inside the gate is the Colosseum building.
-Chwiik! Chwiik!
-Whoosh! Whoosh!
The starting point is the exact center of the Colosseum.
If you just stand still here, enemies will swarm you from all directions.
This part is reminiscent of the Wave Gate and the Hill of Corpses at first glance.
But the rules of Wave and Colosseum were completely opposite.
‘If waves have monsters appearing at set times, then in the Colosseum, when you defeat a monster, the next one appears right away.’
Therefore, it was a gate where the attack time difference was very large depending on the skill of the attack team.
That is why it was chosen as the stage for this match.
The Colosseum is divided into two sections.
The inner city where the battle takes place.
And the outskirts where the orcs wait their turn.
‘There are a total of 8 entrances and exits.’
Seo Yi-jun quickly figured out the location of the entrance connecting the inner and outer walls.
-Chwiiik!
-Take it!
Already, the orc warriors were divided into eight groups and were charging forward, armed with various blades and bludgeons.
But the momentum didn’t last long.
Sararak.
Strands of wire were laid low, covertly scattered.
-Whew, whoosh, whoosh?!
-Cheers!
The orcs in the front row who had just passed through the entrance tripped on the wire and fell over.
The orcs that were coming right after also became entangled with the fallen orcs and their ranks collapsed in an instant.
-Whoa, whaaaaaaaaaaaa?!
The fallen orcs are not Seo Yijun and the skeleton troopers.
He was trampled to death by his fellow orcs.
In the meantime.
“Everyone, come out.”
-Less!
-Less than more~
-Daughter?
Shock Troops, Magic Troops, Beast Troops.
-Dalgrak!
-Clap clap clap.
-Come on!
A total of 160 skeleton soldiers rose from the spot designated by Seo Yi-jun.
Colosseum of Wrath.
Orcs pour in from eight directions and launch a fierce attack.
Hunters spread out area-of-effect skills, long-range skills, and trap skills in all directions to inflict damage in advance.
They form a solid defensive formation in the center to withstand the orcs’ charge.
Although there are some variations, the basic strategy for conquering the Colosseum of Wrath is defense.
but.
‘Just because it’s a method chosen by many doesn’t mean it’s necessarily the best method.’
Seo Yi-jun had no intention of quietly solidifying his defense.
The best defense has always been a good offense.
