Necro Master

# 23.

* * *

Loyalty has been running for almost 10 minutes now. In fact, it was not easy for a normal person to run with power for 10 minutes. Even if it was a level 5 loyalty, running at full speed for 10 minutes was difficult. To be honest, I was able to run as hard as I could until now, just as a result of my persistent determination. It is currently full to the hidden chin of loyalty.

“Huff-puff, that pig. Aren't you tired?”

I didn't have the strength to speak. However, there was an insult to the situation. That's why words popped up without me even knowing it. Behind you, the Butcher is still chasing at a steady pace.

Bang, bang! Kuang!

I was really impressed by his constant pursuit. After another drink, he didn't see any heavy breathing, only repeated dialogue.

“Khhh! Stop! ”

It seemed to have foolish intelligence, but his body was never foolish. You see a notice in front of you, though. The passageway has been turned to the other side for the past five minutes, and luckily, it's an uphill ramp up to the ground. And as a result, I see an exit ahead.

‘Just a little further...! ’

Beyond the exit, you see a void. Whether it was dark or not, darkness was settling in outside. However, the outside landscape was sufficiently identifiable because the moonlight was illuminating the outside. Loyalty runs towards the exit like a bad idea. It was time to get out of here.

‘Almost there. ’

It was a short distance from the exit. It was about 200 meters away from the exit. But close to a certain distance, the Butcher prepares to cast his hook. The windmill-spinning hook makes a heavy noise, then rushes toward the bridge of loyalty.

Whoo-hoo!

It was an honest enough attack to avoid if not exhausted. However, the legs of the loyalty were twisting. He shifts his legs slightly to the side, but does not move enough.

Damn it!

At this rate, the hook caught my leg. In fact, the hook was flying so badly, it ended up on the left leg of the appendage. The hook strikes strongly at the left leg of the chassis.

Phew!

‘Ugh...! ’

A moment of loyalty almost engulfed in the agony of crumbling bones. But I was lucky. It wasn't a sharp hook, it was a blunt force. If I had been hit by a spike, or if the chain had wrapped around my leg, I might have been drawn to him.

The butcher was also loyal for the first time, but he was even angrier when the desired outcome was not achieved. He stopped and screamed.

“Rrrrghhhhh!”

Then he uncovers the chain in his hand. Now I was only trying to see the battle by running. As the chain hits the ground, you hear the system's voice at the same time.

[150m to the exit.]

[Butcher crashes.]

[In 10 seconds, the exit to the ground will be closed.]

At the same time, the place that appeared to be an exit was closed. The stone gate began to descend from the space above the exit.

Glug glug.

A distance of 150m was not too difficult for a challenger about level 5, not within 10 seconds. However, the story was different when all his health was consumed.

Damn it!

The exit in front of you continues to narrow. The distance to the exit seemed far away as time constrained. However, I squeezed the last of the strength of the milk.

‘Ugh...! ’

I was anxious to exhaust completely. The butcher's left leg narrows, but his teeth tighten and endure. Is that why? The body of loyalty responded to that will. I was beating so hard that I didn't know when my heart was going to burst. But I didn't think it was that hard. Rather, he became lucid and cold as a third party would see. It was as if the soul had come out of the body and was watching from afar.

[7 seconds remaining.]

Thanks to this, I was able to break through 50 meters in 3 seconds. I even forgot when I was breathing. I broke through another 50m in the blink of an eye.

[4 seconds left.]

Now there's only 50 meters left. The stone gate came down more than half the way to the exit. If I didn't leave soon, I wouldn't be able to get through even if I arrived within the time limit.

However, it was only a little more than 30 meters to the exit.

[3 seconds left.]

Bang, bang! Bang!! Bang!

The distance from the Butcher has now become a foothold. Is it because he threw away his heavy weapon? His footsteps were faster than ever. Even if loyalty runs fast, it will close the streets in no time.

[2 seconds left.]

You're only a few steps away from the exit. But one second later, it was also true that the Butcher would catch him.

Bang, bang! Bang, bang!

You feel the butcher's strong nostrils behind you. The exit was about to be completely closed. Moreover, with the stone gate almost down, there was very little room to get out through the exit. crawl to get through.

[1 second left.]

Now after one second, the exit will be completely closed. But in time, loyalty was able to reach the front of the stone gate with one second left.

‘We're almost there...! ’

The faithfulness bowed as it did. to get out while sliding. Just as the loyalty leaned in, there was a violent wind in the position where the loyalty's head had just been. The butcher's thick hands cut through the air. The sound of cutting through the wind is as heavy as turning a chain.

Whoo-hoo!

However, the bowing loyalty was not caught in the Butcher's hands. Loyalty just didn't realize how dangerous the moment was. It was because I was so focused on getting out. And fortunately, loyalty was able to succeed in sliding. As I leaned down, I got close to the floor, and added the speed I had so far, my body swept forward at a tremendous speed.

‘Ugh...! ’

As my bare flesh scratched through the ground, I felt my skin peeling off.

However, the loyalty was able to escape before the stone gate was completely closed. Immediately, the stone gate closed, making a loud noise.

Kuang!

At the same time, the dust blows for a moment, but he takes a deep breath into the joy that the loyalty has escaped.

‘I got out...! ’

Contrary to loyalty, there was a butcher who could not escape from within. He began to express his anger if his loyalty had escaped his grasp. However, even though the stone gate blocked the sound wave from transmitting, his monstrosity did not sound so loud. I thought I heard it from a long distance.

Khhh! Khhh!

However, as the Butcher began to knock on the stone gate, the stone gate seemed to crack wide open.

Boom! Kuaang!

Of course, the stone gate never broke.

[Strong stone gates are not broken by the Butcher's attacks.]

[However, in eight hours, the stone gate will reopen.]

There was, of course, a reward for the successful escape.

[Successfully escaped from the Human Storage.]

[1,000 Karma will be awarded as reward.]

The fidelity of hearing the system's voice lay flat on the floor and breathed. The heart that seemed to burst did not calm down at all.

“Hah... Hah... ”

It was a loyalty to end such a difficult pursuit and take a short break. However, the system has been known without considering the state of such fidelity.

[The Butcher was originally the lord of the castle.]

But he began to follow the Devil, along with the corrupt.

[You killed all those who didn't follow the devil.]

At first, it created a crisis, and now it's a system to unravel the story of the current place.

After all, the fortress inside the castle was destroyed.

[I couldn't find any living people in the villages.]

At the same time, the system informed the faithful of the final objectives to be carried out here.

[Find the portal before the Butcher escapes.]

[The portal's location is random.]

[You must flee through the portal and inform the corrupt lord.]

The goal of the stage was to ‘escape’ as well.

[Be careful.]

[There are many undead and demonic followers in the ruins of the castle.]

[Search for the portal while avoiding them.]

[In particular, the Devil's followers are not all that powerful.]

[Display your location on the minimap in the top-right corner.]

[The ruined Castle cannot be escaped.]

[Well, good luck.]

And the time limit for the Butcher to reappear was displayed.

[7 hours and 59 minutes and 21 seconds until the Butcher is released.]

Finally, the system spoke no more. The loyalty barely calms the breath that has not yet subsided, looking at the minimap and its surroundings. The current location indicated on the minimap was as follows:

[Lord's Mansion - Garden]

It was the house where the Butcher lived before he followed the Devil. The underground man-made storehouses and gardens were already decorated with dried plants, and the walls surrounding the mansion had mostly collapsed and were creating a desolate scene. Luckily, there aren't any monsters around yet.

“Hah... Where do I start? ”

Looking at the minimap, the size of the castle is not small. It was the size of an entire urban village. I had a lot of places to look around. First, I decided to summon the skeletons.

“Summon Skeleton Troop. ”

However, it was also impossible to use the skill.

[Skill cannot be used in this area.]

[All your skills are sealed.]

‘I have to be careful.... ’

Monsters here are said to be followers of the Undead and the Devil. Demon followers may be human, as is the case with butchers, but they will be close to the creature. We had to be careful not to get hit by them. Considering the butcher's level, the Devil's followers will never be an easy opponent to watch. Especially since you can't use your skills right now.

Anyway, there's a gravestone around. Loyalty first examined the tomb.

- What the fuck, man?

- You have to run all the time just to get rid of the Butcher.

- I don't have time for this. There's no safe zone.

Resurrect the dead here in the mansion garden as undead!

- Run faster when you see this.

- W. W. what? Yes, sir.

It was time to examine the first tombstone. Suddenly, you hear an uproar around you. It was like the sound I heard when the loyalty summoned the skeletons.

‘No way...? ’

The prediction was accurate. Undead are happening near where the loyalty lies. It was as the tombstone said. Soon the undead began to rise around us.

[Some people decapitated in the garden are resurrected as undead.]

I quickly looked around. Then, from the dirt floor of the garden where there was nothing, you can see skeletons' hands coming up. The number was exactly three.

"Oops."

You can't use your skills, but the loyalty moves quickly before they come up. If all three come up, it won't be easy to deal with now without skills.

‘I step on it before I come up. ’

Loyalty first leads to the nearest skeleton. However, the skeleton rose faster. By the time loyalty got to one of them, Skeleton was completely out of the ground. He tried to swing the sickle in his hand toward the rushing loyalty. Seeing his weapon, he must have been a peasant before he died.

The loyalty was inevitable. To disable his attack before he can swing his sickle.

But it was then.

Immediately before his loyalty struck, the system heard a voice.

[The Undead recognizes you as a Necromancer and stops attacking.]

The fidelity that heard the system's voice immediately turned the direction. Then the body of the loyalty that was about to hit Skeleton shifts aside. Loyalty was wary of the skeleton in front of the eye as it learned to position the voices of meaningful systems. However, unlike the concerns of loyalty, the system has given us some unexpected news.

[This undead is not affiliated.]

[The vengeful undead would like to convey something to you.]

It is also surprising that there is no intention of attack from the undead. even though it wasn't a loyal summoned entity. And you're trying to convey your will? Loyalty first decided to listen. But unfortunately, it was a system that delivered sad news because the level of loyalty was not high.

[Your level is‘ beginner ’and cannot be delivered perfectly.]

But it didn't matter. Imperfect concepts began to be conveyed, but loyalty was soon able to interpret its meaning.

[Revenge... Lord….]

[Follow… Necklace….]

That was before the undead's principles were conveyed to the loyalty and the loyalty was reacted to.

[The original vengeful undead has an aggressive attitude towards living creatures.]

[But your Necromancer energy awakens part of the undead ritual.]

And the undead, who had to meet the challenger, became allies.

[‘Fairly Dead Farmer’ has joined you.]

[Gain 40 Karma.]

[This is a self-generated undead, so the maximum number of summons will not be affected.]

Along with him, the name of the undead rises above the nose of the enthusiast. And that was a clear indication of friendship.
