The Skeleton Soldier Became a Necromancer Chapter 60

The Skeleton Soldier Became a Necromancer Episode 060

I wanted to immediately reveal the skeleton of a typical example of a bad office workaholic, but I held back for now.

“It looks like you have a schedule since you specifically mentioned that it was after dealing with the Haetae Guild.”

“I think we’ll have some calculations done by the time Hunter returns from Seoul Field.”

The decision was made not to hinder Yeon Ha-eun’s motivation for now. * * *

News spread through the media that Seo Yi-jun was heading to the field again.

“People have been very excited for several days!”

“Is that so?”

“Of course! I’m sure you were curious as to why Hunter-nim is going to the field again, and which field he’ll be going to. How curious must you be? Hehehe.”

Seonwoo Chan shook his shoulders, holding the steering wheel with one hand and covering his mouth with the other.

Seonwoo Chan was the only person, along with Yeon Ha Eun, who knew why Seo Yi Jun was heading to the field.

“There were dozens of hunters who wanted to go to the field with the hunter and asked for an entry permit from somewhere.”

“It would have been nice if you had taken an interest in the field in general.”

“Haha. The chief said the same thing! That’s why they don’t give out permits to just anyone!”

“So you’re saying there are people who have received Seoul Field permits?”

“Yes! There are three people, including Hunter, who will enter the Seoul field today!”

Before I knew it, there were fewer cars on the road and fewer people passing by.

The buildings on both sides of the road were mainly used as warehouses, and even those were mostly empty.

Finally, all human contact was lost.

As soon as we passed a certain point, the city center became colorless.

But I didn’t dare try it on the widely spread DMZ field side.

“You have passed the barrier, Hunter.”

There was a barrier surrounding the Seoul field.

‘A barrier that separates the outside and the inside.’

Preventing the possible outflow of monsters from the field located in the middle of the city.

It was a barrier to prevent ordinary citizens from going mentally unstable upon witnessing the colorless world.

‘If you don’t have prior permission from the management office and your vehicle isn’t there, you can’t come in this easily.’

After a while.

At the border of the colorless and black-and-white worlds, I was able to meet two hunters who would enter together.

First of all, there is one C-class hunter.

“Kyahaha! Jun-ah, you’re here!”

“… …Why are you here?”

“I want to go to the field too!”

“… … So, why?”

“Oh, why? I just wanted to get some field experience.”

“When the DMZ field opens, go there.”

“Kyahahaha! You punk, you don’t have to be so embarrassed!”

Jose Woo grumbled and patted Seo Yi Jun’s shoulder.

He’s the kind of guy who instinctively understands when he needs to.

Why do people misinterpret things like this in their own way?

“Oh, right. By the way, why didn’t you reply to me?”

“Did you really have to send it?”

“Wow, look at that shameless thing! … … Wait. No. Oh no~! Is that it?”

“What now?”

“There’s no need for petty words between men who are best friends and soul rivals! Ugh.”

“… … .”

Even though he’s saying strange things, I still understand why Jose is here.

Seeing Seo Yi-jun go to the DMZ field made him want to go too, and if possible, he wanted to go with his so-called best friend.

Another A-class hunter had no idea why he had come.

“Hunter Yoo Hye-ryeong.”

It was Yoo Hye-ryeong of the Haetae Guild.

“Isn’t the field monster hunting required for the S-class promotion match ticket limited to A-class fields?”

Seoul field is C-class.

It doesn’t help in getting tickets, and it doesn’t help Yoo Hye-ryeong’s own hunter activities.

‘… … You probably won’t like this place.’

Above all, Seoul Field was the place that took away Yoo Hye-ryeong’s right arm.

I couldn’t figure out why she volunteered to go to Seoul Field.

“Obviously… … it won’t help you get a ticket. But it will help Hunter Yoo Hye-ryeong.”

Yoo Hye-ryeong turned her gaze towards the field.

“Because this is my starting point.”

Starting point.

Yoo Hye-ryeong called the place where her career ended her starting point.

This time, Yoo Hye-ryeong turned her gaze to Seo Yi-jun.

“Besides, how could I turn away when that boy said he would go to Seoul Field?”

“… I see you remember.”

“I didn’t know he would grow up like this, so I didn’t recognize him at all back then.”

Even up until the last DMZ field, only Seo Yi-jun recognized Yoo Hye-ryeong.

Now, Yoo Hye-ryeong also recognized Seo Yi-jun as the student she had saved during the Seoul Field incident.

“……hmm.”

Jose Woo opened his mouth after listening absentmindedly to the conversation between Seo Yi-jun and Yoo Hye-ryeong.

“I don’t have any memories of this neighborhood. Is that okay?”

“What kind of strange consideration are you trying to give me?”

Seo Yi-jun chuckled at that absurd comment.

‘oh?’

Joseu’s eyes widened at that reaction.

Something about Seo Yi-jun’s reaction was much softer than usual.

“Well, we’re best friends!”

I took a bold step further.

“Hunter Yoo Hye-ryeong.”

It was neatly ignored.

Yeah. This is Seo Yi-jun.

“Do you know of a B-rank tamer from the Haetae Guild?”

“I don’t have anyone close to me, but there are a lot of B-rank tamers. It’s the Haetae Guild.”

Yoo Hye-ryeong tilted her head at Seo Yi-jun’s question.

“I’m a bit chubby, and I like mobile games and stuff… … .”

“… … .”

“… … .”

A strange silence flowed between them.

“The fat B-rank tamer from the Haitai guild who likes mobile games? Are you talking about Seung-taek hyung?”

Joseu intervened.

“Yeah, that was the name. You know the name well even though you’re not a member of the Beast Gate Guild.”

“We played a few mobile games together~ But why that hyung? Jun, he’s not the type that suits you well, is he?”

“It definitely didn’t fit in many ways.”

His attitude towards summoned creatures was completely different from that of Seo Yi-jun.

Usually, necromancers treat their summons poorly, while tamers take great care of them.

He treated all of his followers equally and turned them into bomb material.

“Oh my, we’ve already met. Hmm. Hey, but this place feels really weird.”

Jose ended the conversation appropriately.

At times like this, he was quick-witted and realized that Seo Yi-jun wanted to avoid going into detail.

“But! Of course, the body depends on the mind! That’s something that can be done with determination! Ah, the air is sweet~!”

Joseu opened his arms wide, tensing his muscles.

“… …Will it be sweet?”

Seo Yi-jun muttered in disbelief.

By the way, this guy.

When we first met, he was sweating in the glacier area.

“The conversation between the two of you is interesting, but unfortunately, we have to part ways here.”

From the middle, Yoo Hye-ryeong, who had been quietly listening to the conversation between Seo Yi-jun and Joseu, opened her mouth.

Yoo Hye-ryeong is an A-class hunter, and Seo Yi-jun is a B-class hunter.

Although Jose is a C-class player, he is skilled enough to conquer a C-class gate on his own.

Since all access was controlled, there were people who could easily break through a C-class field without variables on their own.

“Then come back later.”

“okay!”

“Okay, see you later.”

After setting up the gathering place, Seo Yi-jun, Jose Woo, and Yoo Hye-ryeong split into three directions. * * *

Just like the flora and fauna of the DMZ field.

The buildings and cars of Seoul Field had turned into a slippery texture.

Gulp… … .

As we pushed, the car sank into a deep rut, flowing out in a sticky, murky mass.

Even people who were unable to avoid it ended up in a similar situation.

The management office worked with each guild to deploy manpower and the people were taken care of.

Seo Yi-jun walked inside.

Unlike usual, I didn’t summon the skeleton troop.

Because of this, the various sounds of bones that assist the monarch did not resonate.

Seo Yi-jun and the Skeleton Soldiers are almost like one body.

That’s why I didn’t want to ask for the help of the Skeleton Troops this time.

How far inside did you go?

Kuuung.

A sound like the axis is shaking was heard.

“Huh. Phew.”

As the sound got closer, Seo Yi-jun’s breathing became faster.

-Huhhhh?

A one-eyed man, five meters tall, appeared, carrying a large club on his shoulder.

Cyclops.

It was a C-class giant monster that was also a low-level soldier of the Titan tribe, the enemy of the 10th Dimension Ascension War.

“Hoo, hoo.”

Seo Yi-jun’s rapid breathing had nothing to do with his memories of the dimensional ascension battle.

Not only the Titans and Cyclops, but all the opposing races in the Dimensional Ascension Battle were beings that were encountered as Gate Monsters.

“Hoo, hoo, hoo.”

As my breathing became more rapid, my heart started beating faster, and in response, my whole body started trembling.

If you control your bones, you can stop the tremors.

“Phew.”

Seo Yi-jun didn’t do that.

I didn’t even think about controlling my breathing, let alone stopping my trembling.

Although it has a rather threatening size, Cyclops is still only a C-class monster.

The current Seo Yi-jun is a monster that can fight a hundred times and win a hundred times.

Summoning a skeleton soldier will wipe out all Cyclops on the field without giving any instructions.

By simply manipulating the wire lightly, you can tie and cut down a dozen or so at a time.

“Ugh, ugh, ugh… … .”

But Seo Yi-jun’s breathing did not calm down.

Rather, it became even faster.

Seo Yi-jun held his head and gasped for breath.

I had a bad headache.

Someone is being trampled by vicious feet.

Someone is caught in a vicious hand.

A giant club completely destroys the orphanage where the young man spent his childhood.

The memories of each and every moment were vividly weighing on Seo Yi-jun.

“Hhhhhhhhhhhhhh!”

In an attempt to shake off that memory, Seo Yi-jun let out an uncharacteristic yell.

Seo Yi-jun jumped up with all his might.

Kwaaaaah!

He struck the Cyclops’ chin with a fist charged with magical power.

This one blow broke Cyclops’ neck and he died.

“Ahhhhhhhh!”

Seo Yi-jun didn’t stop.

After interlocking your fingers with both hands, lower your chin once more.

“Ahhhhhhhh!”

He struck the crown of his head with his elbow.

It’s not like I identified the weak point by the movement of the bones.

It’s not like the attack power was increased by hitting the bone precisely.

“Ahhhhhhhhhhh!”

Even the magical power wrapped around his body was just wrapped around him without any precise control.

It wasn’t hunting, it was just violence.

It was a struggle to resist memories from four years ago.

“Ugh, ugh, ugh, ugh… … .”

Seo Yi-jun gasped for breath, his hands on his knees.

[Take control of the one and only Giant Eye (C).]

Before I knew it, I had killed all the Cyclops in the field, including the boss monster.

“……ha.”

Seo Yi-jun sat on the floor.

‘I had decided to fight alone without calling in the skeleton corps, but I didn’t know they would run wild like this.’

Still, thanks to running wild like that, the lump in my heart felt a little bit relieved.

I slowly raised my head and looked at the half-ruined building in front of me.

This building is the gathering place.

They said they split into three directions and headed towards the assembly point, but the assembly point was right in the field where Seo Yi-jun entered.

‘It’s a blessing.’

Jose Woo and Yoo Hye-ryeong were on their way here, deliberately going around the outskirts out of consideration for Seo Yi-jun.

A half-destroyed building.

It was the orphanage that took in Seo Yi-jun when he was a newborn and raised him until he was a high school student.

“… … Okay. Come out.”

Seo Yijun summoned the skeleton troop.

I didn’t really intend to call them, but I could feel the strong will of the skeleton troop in the pitch darkness.

Skeleton Guard, Skeleton Dark Mage, Juvenile, Cavalry, Sorcerer, Beast, Soldier, Magic Soldier, Beast Soldier.

The skeleton troopers quietly saluted the ruined orphanage, each in their own way.
