The Skeleton Soldier Became a Necromancer Chapter 56

The Skeleton Soldier Became a Necromancer Episode 056

‘The real enemy is this guy.’

A tamer who lost his proud demons and is causing a fuss about what to do now.

But Joo Seung-taek had plenty of time to himself.

An attitude as if losing the devil would not affect the plan in any way.

As expected.

“Oh, oh, what a waste. Do you know how much it cost to pull out these demons? The guild leader is going to be angry.”

Joo Seung-taek changed his attitude and scratched his head.

“Wasn’t it a 3-star product with good value for money?”

“Even if the cost-effectiveness is good, huh? The basic unit price is soooo high.”

Seo Yi-jun intuitively noticed.

The cost and unit price that Joo Seung-taek is talking about.

This means real money, probably cores as well.

‘Vivisection.’

I was talking about hunters who failed to fuse.

“Do you know what a merge game is? Right? It’s also called a merge game. It’s where you combine identical items to create a better item.”

“I don’t know.”

“Oh my, you’ve really spent half your life losing money.”

“Half… … .”

“huh?”

“It’s more than that.”

He was betrayed by Kwon Young-woo and lived as a skeleton soldier for decades.

I’ve lost more than half my life.

“What? You knew it.”

Joo Seung-taek, who had no way of knowing that fact, smiled awkwardly and forced himself to keep the rhythm before continuing.

“Why did I mention the merge game? Well, my evolutionary traits and new skills! That’s [Merge]!”

Seo Yi-jun’s eyes narrowed slightly.

It was also absurd to confidently reveal one’s own characteristics.

“Evolutionary traits.”

It was because of the strange expression called evolutionary trait.

“Yeah! My original trait was [Double], right? When you tame a pair of demons, they become a bit stronger. But now it’s evolved into [Merge]!”

Traits are unique abilities of a Hunter.

There are occasional cases where new options are added, but the name itself never changes.

‘There is one exception, as far as I know.’

There are exceptions.

It’s Seo Yi-jun.

Seo Yi-jun’s trait changed from [Bone Joint] to [Lord of Bones] as he regressed.

However, Joo Seung-taek was not a returner who achieved the <impossible, incomprehensible, unfathomable> feat like Seo Yi-jun.

“How was it possible? It was the great guild master who gave me his blessing!”

Jang Na-yeon, the leader of the Haetae Guild and an S-rank guild leader.

She used some method to empower Joo Seung-taek.

“Show me your abilities!”

There were still a lot of Sammiho’s corpses lying around.

Joo Seung-taek’s magical power enveloped three corpses.

Kwajajajajak!

The three corpses were attracted to each other as if by magnets, and clumped together in a mess.

Kwaaaaang!

And it caused a huge explosion.

“Hahahahaha! How is it? Huh? This is the power of my evolutionary trait!”

Joo Seung-taek laughed, patting his belly.

Seo Yi-jun was also slightly surprised.

‘… … This is unexpected.’

The skeleton troops caught in the explosion caused by the three corpses combining were all destroyed and recalled.

But what exceeded Seo Yi-jun’s expectations was not the explosive power.

‘I never thought it would remind me of the clutches of the apocalypse.’ * * *

The final break that destroyed humanity in the previous life.

As the field was liberated, the monsters that appeared as if they were causing a break had absorbed a large amount of the turbid mass and were greatly strengthened.

Among them, there were six monsters with desperate powers that surpassed those of S-class boss monsters.

People feared it and called it the devil of the apocalypse.

‘It’s similar to the technology used by one of the demons of the apocalypse.’

There was a mastermind who went one step further than Joo Seung-taek and caused an explosion with just the two of them.

‘It was Kwon Young-woo’s perfect counter.’

Excluding special entities such as the Legion Commander or the Old Ones in the Legion.

The moment two or more units of any type were summoned, they would explode without fail.

A formidable enemy who cannot boast of the legion’s quantity at all.

‘What a pitiful memory.’

The Commander-in-Chief didn’t fight fiercely with the legion commanders, but just fled.

“Hehehe, judging by your expression, I guess you can guess what this means?”

The reason Haetae Guild dispatched Joo Seung-taek to attack Seo Yi-jun was because he could neutralize the skeleton soldiers’ numbers.

“That’s right! That’s how it is!”

Joo Seung-taek projected his magical power towards the three skeleton soldiers.

and.

“Huh? What is it? Why isn’t this working? Eight! Eight! Oh, what the heck!”

Nothing happened.

‘… … I really wonder what it is.’

It was the same absurd thing for Seo Yi-jun.

Before attacking the skeleton soldiers, Joo Seung-taek proudly showed off the corpses that had been blown up.

‘Thanks to you, I got the timing right.’

[Merge]’s magical power surrounds the target and explodes.

Seo Yi-jun figured out the timing to exploit that short gap.

‘I thought of it as an opportunity to prepare for the apocalypse that I would encounter someday.’

I thought that if I practiced with Joo Seung-taek, it would be of great help when I faced the devil of the end times in the future.

That’s what it was.

“Profit! Profit! This is weird? Again! … … Ah, why isn’t it working! Isn’t this a bug? Shouldn’t we check it?”

Joo Seung-taek trembled.

After losing the demons, unlike before when he had been exaggerating and making a fuss, this time he was sincere.

“It’s the same skeleton soldier, right? Then, huh? Then it should explode! Skeletons! Zombies! Spirits! I tried them all, why is it like this!”

Joo Seung-taek doesn’t have the talent to look into the names of other people’s summons.

Instead, when you wrap three targets with the magic of [Merge], if they have the same name in the system, a related message will appear.

[Merge] of 3 identical targets is ready.]

[Preparing to [Merge] 3 identical targets… … .]

[3 identical objects… … .]

The message continued to appear in Joo Seung-taek’s field of vision.

[Merge failed.]

[Merge failed.]

[In the merger… … .]

What followed was not a deafening explosion and a powerful aftershock, but only a failure message.

“Was it like that?”

Thanks to Joo Seung-taek’s scream a little while ago, I understood why things were going this way.

“They may all look like skeleton soldiers to you.”

Seo Yi-jun carefully examined the skeleton corps.

Same skeleton.

Same equipment.

Same skill.

Same specs.

Other people might not be able to tell the difference at all.

“To me, each and every one of them is a different and therefore precious subordinate.”

But it wasn’t the same for Seo Yi-jun.

Skeleton Soldiers 1st and 1st Generation were separate units.

‘Because I was a skeleton soldier too.’

This was possible because Seo Yi-jun, as an Old One, hung out with the skeleton soldiers at the bottom. * * *

The beasts that were a fusion of hunters and monsters were lost, and the plan to explode the skeleton soldiers also failed.

The two most powerful cards that Seung-taek Joo had prepared for Seo Yi-jun turned out to be nothing.

“Who knew it would end like this?!”

However, Joo Seung-taek did not lose all his cards.

Kwaaaaaaaah!

The explosive ability using [Merge] was still there.

The corpses of the fallen Sammiho were all Joo Seung-taek’s bombs.

The Skeleton Sorcerer didn’t even distinguish between corpses that had had their blood and poison extracted with [Blood Poison Magic] and those that had not.

It wasn’t that my eyesight was so bad that I couldn’t tell the difference between the two.

‘It is a kind of mental strength to recognize things that are obviously different as the same and apply skills.’

Perhaps Joo Seung-taek tried to recognize that the Skeleton Corps was the same, and he is still trying to do so from time to time.

□ [Lord of Bones]

… … .

– As the leader of the Bone Legion, I will not yield under any circumstances.

… … .

It was meaningless against Seo Yi-jun.

‘Besides, it looks like you packed quite a bit before entering the gate.’

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Joo Seung-taek took out three items from his inventory at a time and caused endless explosions.

Compared to the explosion caused by Sammiho’s corpse, the explosion from the junk item was much weaker.

Boom!

-Dalgrak!

-Clap clap clap.

-Come on!

It was powerful enough to hold back the skeleton troop.

Kwaaaaang!

Occasionally, three cores were mixed in with miscellaneous items, causing an explosion on the level of the Sam-Tailed Fox’s corpse.

That’s not all.

“Even though I look like this, I’m actually quite agile?”

bang!

He even demonstrated his ability to escape the skeleton troop’s encirclement by jumping onto the air current and creating a small explosion under his feet.

‘That’s pretty good.’

The tempo of a weak explosion and a strong explosion.

A sense of using explosions to move.

Everything was like that of a skilled B-class hunter.

‘It’s ridiculous that someone so skilled is just a hunting dog.’

Seo Yi-jun smiled bitterly.

at that time.

“Is this just the right range?”

Joo Seung-taek, who had been jumping over and over again to dodge, smiled sinisterly.

WHACK!

As Joo Seung-taek struck the floor with the whip he took out of his inventory, demons resembling bears, lizards, and wild boars were summoned.

An ordinary demon with no visible traces of a monster.

“… … !”

Joo Seung-taek projected [Merge]’s magical power toward the demons.

The demons have united as one.

Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-!

An explosion much larger than the Sammiho corpse engulfed the area.

Seo Yi-jun frowned.

‘Are you treating the three demons you tamed the same way now?’

What was more disturbing was the fact that the explosion occurred, rather than the force of the explosion itself.

If Seo Yi-jun had accepted the skeleton soldier who was identical in every way,

Joo Seung-taek treated all the other demons equally.

Joo Seung-taek is a tamer and Seo Yi-jun is a necromancer.

Although they are different classes, from the perspective of someone handling summons, it was an unsatisfactory result. * * *

When the smoke subsided.

The only people standing in the meadow were Seo Yi-jun and Joo Seung-taek.

Just before the demons exploded, Seo Yi-jun turned everyone back to pitch black.

Joo Seung-taek, who couldn’t have known that fact, shrugged his shoulders and laughed.

“Hehehe, there aren’t any good skeletons left? Oh, of course I could just summon them again, but it won’t be easy. Huh?”

“It’s not easy?”

“The one with the scythe, the one with the different colored robe, the one that looks like a lizard… … If those things get counter-summoned, it’ll be a big hit to you, right? Huh? I saw the promotion match video! Hahaha!”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“Haha… Huh?”

“Even if the skeleton soldier gets hurt, it doesn’t harm me at all.”

“lie!”

“Yeah. That was a lie.”

“No, that’s not what I meant! Are you just bluffing? Huh? You were bleeding like that?!”

“That was a lie. Come out.”

At Seo Yi-jun’s call, the skeleton troop was summoned in good condition.

“No… … , what is this… … .”

Joo Seung-taek muttered with his eyes wide open.

“Let’s end this now.”

Seo Yi-jun lightly rolled his feet. * * *

After confirming the message that the hunting dogs had come in, Seo Yi-jun laid the wires tightly.

The fusion demons were not used because they could be sufficiently suppressed by the skeleton corps.

Although I did use wires to back up the assault troops.

‘That level of backup is sufficient if you extract it in real time.’

The installed wires were not consumed.

When Joo Seung-taek caused an explosion with [Merge], I intentionally did not use it in order to observe it as much as possible.

‘It didn’t work on the Skeleton Troopers, but if you know the timing of the explosion, it will be easier to deal with the Demon of Doom.’

There’s nothing more to see.

The action of just rolling your feet triggered the wires planted all around you.

“what’s this?!”

The wire tied him up like a rope before Joo Seung-taek could even figure out what was happening.

“No way, there was definitely nothing around here!”

In the Class B promotion match broadcast, we clearly saw Seo Yi-jun swallowing up the Chinese team.

So, as soon as Seung-taek Joo met Yi-jun Seo, he used his keen senses to check and check again if there was a trap.

Still, just in case, they tried to dislodge the trap by detonating explosions here and there.

“It was there from the beginning. You just didn’t know.”

Seo Yi-jun clenched his fist.

Blue lightning crackled and rippled across the wire.

“Right now, let’s go, let’s go!”

Joo Seung-taek’s whole body trembled and he cried out something between a scream and a howl.

At some point, it became quiet.

[Title [Lone Hunter] is activated.]

[The Lone Hunter], whose hounds have recognized his death, is back on.

“… … This is?”

Soon, Seo Yi-jun opened his eyes wide as he checked Joo Seung-taek’s inventory box.
