The Skeleton Soldier Became a Necromancer Episode 038
Past life.
The 10th Dimensional Ascension Battle was full of desperate elements.
As the remaining human population on Earth was destroyed, supplies were cut off.
‘I lost what I had to protect.’
The number of remaining suicide squads was reduced by two-thirds.
‘I lost the power to move forward.’
The greatest despair was separate.
‘The betrayal of the Commander-in-Chief? That was nothing.’
It is true that the Seven Heroes were annihilated because of the debuffs spread by the King of Death.
However, that was just a dirty act committed by the Commander-in-Chief after defeat was already certain, and was not a factor that influenced the outcome.
The greatest despair.
‘Titans.’
It was the Titans themselves, the opposing race in the 10th Dimensional Ascension Battle.
‘It was strong.’
With an average height of 7 meters, a body as solid as steel, overwhelming physical strength using that body, and even transcendent power using nature.
It was a strength incomparable to that of the opponents in the previous dimensional ascension battle.
‘An opponent that the Seven Heroes and the Death Squad can never win against, even if they are in top condition.’
It wasn’t for nothing that the victory over the Titans was considered an <impossible, incomprehensible, unfathomable> achievement.
‘Ironically, I was able to win because I had no follow-up.’
Since he had nowhere to return to, he fought without sparing any effort, sacrificing himself.
And the commander of the Titans was amazed at the struggles of mankind.
-I never thought a lowly race that couldn’t even open the Black Gate would come this far.
Humanity was said to be a lower race that could not open the Black Gate.
‘If they couldn’t open it themselves, they wouldn’t be saying such things.’
This means that the Titans opened the Black Gate.
‘The Black Gate can be opened only after you have defeated the Hidden Boss a certain number of times and achieved the Conqueror of the Gate achievement.’
But, like Jose, you can’t meet the hidden boss unless you’re a regressor.
Therefore, the black gate cannot be opened either.
So, did the Titans have a regressor like Seo Yijun early on?
‘Besides, judging by the nuance, it seems that the Titans were not the only ones to open the Black Gate.’
The 10th Dimensional Ascension Battle involved several battles other than those between humanity and the Titans.
‘Is there a regressor for each race?’
That didn’t seem to be the case.
If there is one regressor per race, the feat of <impossible, incomprehensible, unfathomable> becomes overly boastful.
‘I don’t feel like humanity has become a superior species just because I opened the Black Gate.’
As of now, there was no one who could answer the questions Seo Yi-jun had, and there was no information for Seo Yi-jun to deduce on his own.
‘I guess I’ll have to think about it carefully.’
Seo Yi-jun decided to put the question to rest at this point.
“Ew, it’s that late? I’m going to go now. I just barely made it to mealtime.”
“Okay, go quickly.”
“You suddenly said you were going out in a hurry, so I wonder where you’re going?”
Jose Woo snickered, and Seo Yi-jun shook his head sharply.
“Not at all. I have to go give the skeletons a milk bath anyway.”
“Today is the day to go play in the tiger cage!”
“?”
“?”
Seo Yi-jun and Jose Woo looked at each other blankly.
‘Where are you going to play?’
‘What does a skeleton soldier do?’
Their intersecting gazes were filled with questions about themselves and the other person.
Then, suddenly, the two people realized the meaning in each other’s gaze.
“Hey, in Beast Gate, we have werebeasts coming from not only Korea but also overseas to join, right? That’s why we have quite a bit of data. Playing with your own animals is good for special training!”
“I see. Well, a summoner must build trust with his summons in various ways. Knowing what his summons like and providing it to them is the most basic of basics. The same goes for necromancers.”
“I see!”
I hurriedly explained and was convinced. * * *
Booooooooo.
The management office’s VIP vehicle crossed the Gyeongbu Expressway.
As always, I enjoyed the ultimate ride.
“Here it is, Hunter.”
Before I knew it, I had arrived in front of a small workshop located on the outskirts of Gyeongju.
Seokga workshop.
It was a workshop run by a pair of B-class producers that Seonwoo Chan had discovered by luck.
“I was wondering which noble person was coming.”
“I never thought I’d meet the famous Seo Yi-jun hunter these days.”
“It is an honor to meet you.”
“My name is Seok Gyu-hee and Seok Gyu-hyun.”
The two people who exchanged lines with perfect chemistry were the twin siblings who owned the Seokga Workshop.

“This is Seo Yi-jun.”
Seo Yi-jun didn’t forget to look around the workshop while giving a brief greeting.
‘You came to the right place.’
Merchandise still on display, inventory taken out of warehouse for reorganization.
These were mass-produced devices with excellent and consistent performance.
Seo Yi-jun went straight to the main point.
“I heard you are retiring.”
“Yes. Originally, I was planning to tear down this workshop as well.”
“Director Seonwoo came to visit us several times.”
“I will be bringing a guest soon, so please meet me just once.”
“So please bear with me for a little while.”
“haha!”
Seonwoochan scratched the back of his head awkwardly.
While the speed run competition was in progress, Seonwoochan must have visited this workshop several times.
Seo Yi-jun bowed to Seon Woo-chan and then looked at the Seok siblings again.
“The craftsman’s soul has grown cold. That’s what I heard.”
“The hunters in the production world also have a fighting spirit.”
“I hope the equipment I make will help you hunt monsters.”
“As if the combat system wanted to become stronger.”
“The production world has a desire to help that kind of combat world.”
“Even if it’s not that desire, there is another greed that comes from being a creator.”
“I want to try making higher grade items. That’s the kind of greed I have.”
Upper than normal, rare than upper, unique than rare… … .
Any maker wants to make better gear.
It’s like every hunter wants to become stronger.
“That doesn’t mean we are trying to disparage C- and D-class hunters.”
“If we were C-class, if we were D-class.”
“If that was the case, I would have been satisfied with making upper and normal and supporting C- and D-class hunters.”
“That actually happened.”
“But it ended up being a B-grade.”
“I tried to challenge Rare.”
The Seok siblings both shut their mouths at the same time.
Seo Yi-jun also knows what happens next.
The siblings have been trying unsuccessfully to craft rare equipment for years.
I barely managed to complete the rare set.
‘It’s only rare in grade, but its performance isn’t much better than the Upper.’
As Seo Yi-jun saw, the level of completion was extremely low.
The craftsman’s soul was about to grow cold.
Seo Yi-jun said.
“I heard you have a knack for mass production.”
Mass production, the Seok siblings flinched at the words.
It was worth it.
For the two people who had been longing for rare equipment, being good at mass production would have been a curse rather than a talent.
Seo Yi-jun also used that word on purpose.
“What if you could contribute to hunting monsters with upper-grade equipment that is higher than rare or unique?”
Were Seo Yi-jun’s words unexpected?
Siblings Seok Gyu-hee and Seok Gyu-hyun blinked.
“Even after becoming a B-class hunter, or rather an A-class hunter, I still need upper gear.”
“Yes? But Hunter Seo Yijun’s coat… … .”
“It’s unique and personalized.”
Even if his soul is broken, a B-class producer is a B-class producer.
I could immediately see that Seo Yi-jun’s black ghost coat was a unique piece of equipment.
“I need it, but I’m not going to write it myself.”
“Ah… … , I understand what you mean.”
“Hunter Seo Yijun’s class was Necromancer.”
“[Skeleton Soldier Reinforcement] skill that changes standard equipment.”
“But the number of [Summon Skeleton Soldiers] is limited.”
“I understand that the standard equipment options only apply to one type of unit.”
“If you’re focused on the Skeleton Soldiers, you probably don’t need my help, even if I don’t know.”
The Seok siblings recited the orthodoxy with self-mocking expressions.
“It’s a bit cramped here.”
“yes?”
“yes?”
At the back of the workshop, a fairly large open space was visible.
After going out to the empty lot, there was no need for a long explanation.
“Come out.”
Summoned all 160 units of the Skeleton Troops. * * *
Blacksmith shops and workshops are often located next to open spaces.
The manufacturers themselves test the performance of their equipment.
Or maybe it was for hunters who came to buy equipment to test it out.
The empty lot of the Seokga workshop also existed for that reason.
-Dalgrak!
It was now being used for other purposes.
Seo Yi-jun’s 160 skeleton troops appeared all at once.
The sight of the assault troop, magic troop, and beast troop lined up in rows with each troop leader standing in front was truly spectacular.
It was thanks to Seo Yi-jun giving the order in advance while it was pitch dark.
“Wow, woo, wooaaaah-!”
The first thing I was impressed by was.
“These are all Hunter’s skeleton diseases!”
“……yes.”
It was Seonwoo Chan.
“Wow! The famous scythe-wielding soldier and the black-robed magic soldier! Oh, that beast soldier has wings?!”
Seonwoochan trembled with his whole body as he examined the skeleton corps.
‘Come to think of it.’
Yeon Ha-seong, who was trained directly by the management office, and Yeon Ha-eun, who observed the situation in the middle, confirmed the size of the skeleton corps.
Seon Woo-chan, who was actually in charge of Seo Yi-jun, was unable to see him at the time because he was busy running around the local workshops.
I felt a little sorry for Seonwoo Chan.
I never thought you’d like it that much.
“… … .”
“… … .”
The Seok siblings stared at the skeleton army for a long time in silence before they stammered and opened their mouths.
“No, Seo, Seo Yijun Hunter, you are definitely a C-class Hunter, right?”
“Well, since there hasn’t been a B-class promotion match in a while, it’s obvious that you’re a C-class hunter, right?”
“Why are there so many of them?”
“If you choose all the options for each unit, and increase the quantity with the characteristics, it shouldn’t be more than 100 units, which is normal!”
“And that sword! And that robe! And that necklace!”
“All units are wearing standard equipment!”
“oh my god!”
“oh my god!”
The Seok siblings were both excited by the gradation of giving and receiving.
“If I become a B-class hunter, I will have at least 500 units.”
Seo Yi-jun lightly poured oil.
“500!”
“500!”
The two shouted with a startled expression.
“Wow, if all 500 skeleton soldiers are armed with our Seokga Workshop’s upper equipment… … .”
“It might be more rewarding to complete a rare set of that level than to equip it to a B-rank hunter… … .”
Moreover, anyone could see that Seo Yi-jun was not a man who would end up as a B-class man.
The Seok siblings swallowed dry saliva together as they thought the same thing.
‘What if I become an A-class?’
‘Then how many times is it?’
‘If you are Seo Yijun Hunter.’
‘It’ll definitely be A-class!’
Wouldn’t it be enough to make upper equipment in advance from now on?
Meanwhile, Seo Yi-jun looked at the Seok siblings and thought.
‘The spark in my heart has been rekindled.’
I could feel the enthusiasm to make equipment again from the two people who had only self-deprecating smiles on their faces.
‘A manufacturer specializing in mass production.’
It’s not common.
It’s not that rare though.
Those who are trying to supply training equipment to the management office right away are also the mass production type.
There are also many who make a living selling upper gear to C- and D-class hunters.
‘But it’s hard to find a B-class producer among them.’
Class B mass-produced types are rare.
Even just the siblings Seok Gyu-hee and Seok Gyu-hyun were now B-class, but the craftsman’s spirit was broken by the fact that he could not properly make a rare.
‘Seokga Workshop not only has blacksmiths and craftsmen specialized in mass production, but they also work together perfectly.’
If it’s a weapon, it’s a weapon, if it’s armor, it’s armor, and if it’s an accessory, it’s an accessory.
Seokga Workshop has the capacity to supply all equipment.
‘There are no long-term contract partners as I am considering retirement there.’
This part was also important.
In his previous life, Kwon Young-woo also had a hard time finding a dedicated manufacturer to mass-produce the legion’s equipment.
That was when.
“But Hunter, there’s one thing I’m curious about.”
“Scythe-wielding Soldiers, Black-Robed Magic Soldiers, Winged Beast Soldiers.”
“I can sense the energy of the rare equipment we created from those three.”
“Did you happen to absorb all of our equipment or something?”
The Seok siblings glanced at the soldiers and asked.
… … How did you know?
