The Skeleton Soldier Became a Necromancer Episode 045
A hidden option for the [Suitable Person] title obtained while purifying the field.
Thunder Duke.
Brain energy infuses Seo Yi-jun’s magical power with the attribute of brain power, that is, the energy of lightning.
When I first got it, it was just something that gave me brain power.
‘That alone was pretty effective.’
Seo Yi-jun wasn’t satisfied with that.
In particular, Seo Yi-jun can pull out the wire thin enough that Mudman’s breath immunity pattern reacts.
He was skilled in handling magical powers.
‘It’s inefficient to increase the output of the entire thing. Keep the horsepower at its current level, and only increase the output of the brain.’
That feeling was completely reflected in the way he handled the brain.
Dismissed!
Seo Yi-jun has [Magic Control Technique].
This skill does not help control magical power.
Quite the opposite.
When the user has precise control over their magical power.
1. Magic power 150%
2. Magic range 150%
Increases power and range.
The brain blast that started from Seo Yi-jun’s fingertips extended through the wires to the Mudman’s fragments.
Phat t …
Blue lightning flashed here and there, burning the Mudman black.
Eventually, everything about Mudman was turned to dust, and even the very traces of his existence were disappearing.
“hmm?”
Seo Yi-jun narrowed his eyebrows slightly.
Although the brain power output was raised to the max.
‘Isn’t that thing’s very existence being destroyed?’
It wasn’t to that extent.
Yoo Hye-ryeong, who was watching from behind, said.
“I guess it’s a side effect of fusion.”
The fusion of mud slime and human hunter produced excellent performance, but the side effect was that it left no trace of its existence.
-Less!
-Less than that~
-Daughter?
After a while, the skeleton troopers returned.
“Thank you for your hard work.”
It wasn’t like I had defeated all the gremlins around me.
The gremlin ran away.
The Mudman that was acting as the boss monster has disappeared.
The effect of howling that summoned gremlins has also ended.
“Are you okay?”
“Yes. It was just a slight brush.”
After Yoo Hye-ryeong gave a short reply, she greeted Seo Yi-jun.
“I’m sorry. I think you’ve gotten involved in our guild’s business.”
A hunter named Park Seung-ju, a member of the Haetae Guild who was a member of Mudman.
Haetae guild members Kim Woo-hee and Kim Woo-hyung sneaked into the field without permission and were eaten by Mudman.
There, Yoo Hye-ryeong is also a member of the Haetae guild.
“Do you have any concerns?”
“I have no idea about Mudman himself.”
Yoo Hye-ryeong shook her head briefly and then added.
“But if it was the order from the guild leaders that Kim Woo-hee and Kim Woo-hyung woke up Mudman, then they must have been targeting me.”
“Is there any reason for the Haetae Guild to target Hunter Yoo Hye-ryeong?”
“The guild wants me to give up my promotion to S-class Hunter.”
“Are you saying you’re giving up on promotion?”
“Yes. Instead of staying in the field like you are now, I hope you go around the A-class gate and earn cores.”
“hmm.”
“Besides, there is a clause in my contract that states that if I re-challenge the promotion battle, the guild will provide me with cores.”
At the time she signed with the Haitai Guild, Yoo Hye-ryeong was the most promising prospect.
‘That’s why I put in that condition.’
Yoo Hye-ryeong has become the weakest A-class hunter and has already failed to be promoted to S-class.
50 cores were required to reissue the C-class promotion ticket.
It took thousands of cores to reissue an S-rank promotion ticket.
‘The possibility of Hunter Yoo Hye-ryeong passing the S-class promotion match is extremely low.’
It was estimated to cost over 10 billion, but the expected results were extremely bleak.
‘The Haitai Guild probably doesn’t want to waste that money.’
It would also be a loss for the guild if Yoo Hye-ryeong couldn’t earn cores because she was hunting in the field.
So I understand that the Haetae Guild is against the S-rank promotion.
However, I did not understand why they were trying to take Yoo Hye-ryeong’s life, and why they chose Mudman, who could create numerous victims, as the means to do so.

‘Well, they’re the ones who make things like Mudman.’
Seo Yi-jun decided to just give up on understanding.
“Aren’t you going to ask?”
“What are you talking about?”
“Why am I challenging the S-class Hunter… … .”
Yoo Hye-ryeong trailed off.
It’s not just the Haetae Guild.
There are also articles that occasionally mention Yoo Hye-ryeong.
The comments on that article too.
Everyone just questioned Yoo Hye-ryeong’s S-class challenge.
Seo Yi-jun thought differently.
“It is a natural desire for a hunter to challenge for a higher rank.”
If you can’t meet the requirements to challenge for promotion, or if you decide to be satisfied with your current rank, then that’s fine.
If not, then challenging a promotion match would be a natural attitude for a hunter.
It must have been a rare positive opinion for Yoo Hye-ryeong.
“… …Is that so?”
For some reason, her words were slurred.
“I will ask the Director of the Management Bureau to investigate this matter secretly.”
“I’ll look into it within the guild too.”
“yes?”
Seo Yi-jun expressed his doubts.
“Even though I’m only a guild member, there are things I can confirm. If I cooperate with the administration, I’ll be able to find out more.”
“But that’s not something Hunter Yoo Hye-ryeong should do.”
Seo Yi-jun was firmly opposed.
How much information would she get out if she, who is in a position to just wander around, stirred up trouble within the guild?
“As a hunter, I have my own goals. Hunter Yoo Hye-ryeong, you also have a goal of promotion to S-class, right?”
“… That’s right. I think it would be right to delegate and cooperate with the management bureau. My goal is the S-class promotion match.”
“I know it’s presumptuous of me to say this, but.”
“Yes, go ahead.”
“What do you need to do to advance to S-class… … You probably know that yourself.”
According to Seo Yi-jun’s words.
“!”
Yoo Hye-ryeong’s eyes trembled slightly. * * *
It was a blessing in disguise.
“Hmm, I think I was suddenly struck by magic. I feel so embarrassed.”
“I’m glad you’re safe.”
Seonwoo Chan was taken by surprise, but he wasn’t seriously injured.
But I was cautious about leaving the driving to him.
“Let’s go.”
Seo Yi-jun took the wheel.
Woohoo!
The car made a strange engine noise.
Seonwoochan, sitting in the passenger seat, was startled.
“Yes, you need to release the side brake. And unfold the side mirrors as well.”
“Oh, I see.”
“Hunter, do you have your driver’s license?”
“doesn’t exist.”
“……uh?”
“But I’ve seen it a lot, so I’ll try to do something about it.”
“I do have it.”
Yoo Hye-ryeong said from the backseat.
“Oh, I see. Haha.”
Seonwoochan forced a smile.
What can I do with a driver’s license?
My right arm won’t move.
Ki-ki-ki-ki.
“Ah, ahh… … .”
Every time the side of the car scraped against a tree branch, Seonwoochan felt like his heart was being scratched.
Fortunately, a checkpoint appeared shortly after, and we were able to secure support from a driver there.
Seo Yi-jun thought as he retreated to the back seat.
‘As expected, there was no record of the two siblings entering the checkpoint.’
I kept checking as I passed through other checkpoints, but there was no record of Kim Woo-hee or Kim Woo-hyung’s entry or exit.
‘Someone must have exerted influence over the entire checkpoint.’
That someone here was obviously the Haetae Guild.
‘Even if you ask the Haetae Guild about the siblings’ whereabouts, they just disappeared after disciplinary action was taken. I guess that’s how they’ll deal with it.’
Since Mudman was defeated in the field by Yoo Hye-ryeong and Seo Yi-jun, there was no evidence left.
‘Because the cameras don’t work in the field.’
What was inside the field was not even visible by satellite.
‘I have no choice but to rely on Chief Yeon Ha-eun’s skills.’
As originally planned, we had to borrow the power of Yeon Ha-eun and the Management Bureau.
“I’ll excuse myself here. Hunter Seo Yi-jun, I owe you a lot. Chief Seon Woo-chan, get well soon.”
After leaving the field, Yoo Hye-ryeong got out of the car.
After the vehicle starts again.
Seo Yi-jun looked at Yoo Hye-ryeong’s empty seat.
‘The ultimate in functional beauty achieved by using swordsmanship with only one’s left arm.’
I’m not trying to come up with a skeleton specifically… … .
It was clearly a completed functional beauty, but it looked precarious.
It’s a contradiction.
‘I understand why you felt such a contradiction.’
Just before Yoo Hye-ryeong cuts off Mudman’s torso.
Mudman was surprised to see Yoo Hye-ryeong approaching and threw his fist.
‘Even if you can’t use your right arm, there are plenty of other means.’
You can use your magical power to push away or form a defensive barrier.
There were also several evasion routes.
‘Hunter Yoo Hye-ryeong twisted her body forcibly to avoid it.’
Yoo Hye-ryeong didn’t do that.
As a result, he gave the Mudman troll blood.
There was also something odd about Mudman regenerating and preparing for sword attack immunity.
‘There should be a spare weapon in your inventory.’
In the past, Yoo Hye-ryeong carried five swords.
The future Yoo Hye-ryeong also used five swords.
The other two should have definitely been in your inventory.
‘I didn’t use it.’
Yoo Hye-ryeong hesitated to pull out the sword from her inventory.
‘An obsession to replace one’s lost right arm.’
Yoo Hye-ryeong didn’t swing her sword with just her left arm.
The right arm, or rather the right side itself, was excluded.
To the point where he hesitated to hold the sword he had previously wielded with his right arm at a crucial moment.
It was to fight completely with only the left arm.
‘A distorted obsession that stemmed from wanting to regain one’s past skills with one’s remaining left arm and become an S-class hunter.’
Even though Seo Yi-jun accepted the challenge for S-class promotion, Yoo Hye-ryeong’s words were vague.
Because he knew that his challenge was not for the hunter’s self-improvement.
‘And yet, the obsession with the right arm that cannot be let go.’
Ironically, that kind of mindset gave birth to obsession.
As long as that obsession remained, Yoo Hye-ryeong could not rise to S-class.
‘It seems like in your past life, you were able to straighten out your broken heart and finally let go of your obsession.’
However, it was impossible for Seo Yi-jun to intentionally break Yoo Hye-ryeong’s heart.
‘I deliberately tried to provoke you by saying that you know what you need to do for the S-class promotion match… … I don’t know what will happen.’
If only Yoo Hye-ryeong could shake off her obsession even a little.
‘I can move that right arm.’
Seo Yi-jun had a way to help her. * * *
The head of the Haitai Guild HR team and the head of the Kookcheol Sang team checked their watches.
“We just got word that they’d passed the checkpoint, so by now, at the latest, Kim Woo-hee and Kim Woo-hyung would have woken up the test subject.”
“Huh? It’s already like that?”
Jang Na-yeon, the leader of the Haetae Guild and an S-class hunter, muttered listlessly.
“Could they be dead~.”
“That’s true. We lost a C-class prospect and a D-class prospect, but… … .”
“What? There’s more?”
I don’t know about other guilds.
“Yes, there is more.”
There were other promising players in the Haitai Guild, which boasts the largest scale in South Korea.
“Then it’ll be fine. I discarded it, but it’s pretty strong. What a greedy bastard~.”
Team leader Kokcheol swallowed dry saliva at Jang Na-yeon’s words.
‘It’s a scary ability.’
A fusion of a monster and a hunter.
‘I left him in the DMZ field because he didn’t even follow basic orders, let alone intelligence.’
The abilities of the test subject born in this way were real.
‘Even Yoo Hye-ryeong in her prime was just a swordsman who could only swing a sword. Let alone now that she’s become a piece of trash.’
Yoo Hye-ryeong alone cannot break through the subject’s immune system.
‘Even though Seo Yi-jun is there, no matter how outstanding he is, he is still a C-class.’
Even if a C-class necromancer mobilized all his summons, the subject’s immune system was able to overcome it easily.
“Yoo Hye-ryeong became a hero three years ago by saving people from a confirmed break.”
“He is a hero with eight disabilities.”
“So the public forgot her name for three years. But if the story is completed this time, the name will belong to the Haetae Guild forever.”
Completion of the narrative.
Of course, it is the hero’s retirement.
Seo Yi-jun didn’t even bother to mention it.
“Completing a hero is quitting… … . I said it, but it’s a pretty good saying.”
Jang Na-yeon smiled happily.
but.
“What is this?”
Her smile didn’t last long.
