Necro Master

It was only a matter of time before all the challengers gathered. Soon after, the system informed the challengers gathered at the stadium.

[Current group size: 256 people.]

[All challengers have gathered.]

[Please wait.]

[Progress is being completed.]

It was immediately known to each person what the milestone would look like.

[Necromancer "Lee Chong-ryang".]

[Your opponent has a job as the Thief Leader.]

The system finally asked the faithful.

[Who would you like to lead in the first battle?]

His enthusiasm for the system's questions stares at Jeremy. Jeremy speaks to his loyalty as if he had made a decision.

[Haha, I still don't think I'm going to lose. We'll do our best.]

Loyalty nodded at his mind. And I told the system.

“I want Jeremy in the field. ”

The system has been informed of the answer of loyalty.

[Yes, sir.]

[I'm deciding who my opponent wants to run against.]

[Please wait.]

After a short while, the opposing Pokémon also makes a decision fairly quickly.

[An opponent with the job of the Thief Leader has chosen the number of summons to advance.]

[After a while, your summoner and their summoner will appear on the C-9 Arena.]

I didn't need to find out where the C-9 stadium was. After a while, Jeremy was moved to one of many circular stadiums, because it was the only bright spot in the field of loyalty. The rest of the place looked dark.

[All events start at the same time.]

[But you can't watch other challengers play.]

[Please wait for the other challengers to summon you to the stadium.]

While his enthusiasm waits, Jeremy looks at his opponent from a place that has just been moved.

* * *

Jeremy recently became the Guardian Commander of the Common Shield. He looks at the opponent in front of him. The summoner in front of him was a human.

The target covers its mouth with a meaningful blue cloth and wears a twin dagger in a slender leather outfit. At first glance, it doesn't seem easy to deal with.

< Storm Rogue Member >

I could feel how aggressive it was from the name. As opposed to Jeremy, who grew up to be a defense specialist. The opposing Pokémon opens their mouths before the battle begins. But the first word was very provocative.

“Hehehehe. My opponent is a skeleton. We can win the first battle with ease. The commander will be pleased.”

Jeremy says nothing. I was just waiting for the game to start. I still couldn't move my body properly because of the system constraints.

While we were waiting, the system came to light shortly after.

[In three seconds, the first friendly match begins.]

[Victory requirement is to kill the opponent or knock him off the field.]

[Don't worry, it won't kill you if you're actually killed.]

[Then prepare for battle.]

Finally, the system entered the countdown.

[3.]

[2.]

[1.]

And finally, the game began.

[Start a war.]

With the words, the energy of the suppressive system disappears. Once he's able to move, Jeremy's opponent makes fun of him again.

“Heheheh. Finish it at once.... ”

But even before the opponent's words end, Jeremy uses the skill. It was the first battle since the birth of the self. Then he took his thoughts seriously.

[Summon Guardian Shield.]

When Jeremy used his skill, there appeared 10 Skeleton Shields around him.

[Ten Guardians of the Final Decision will be revealed by Jeremy's summons.]

Ten skeleton-shaped guardian shields looked at the bandits as soon as they appeared. The shields are all I have, but the strength of the guards is unusual.

They slammed their teeth as they looked at the bandits.

Gel.

Gelgel.

GelGelGelgel.

Several undead smiling bastards were enough to embarrass the bandits.

“W-what...! ”

But he panics or the skeletons start to move.

[10 Guardians start to recognize and surround ‘Storm Bandit' enemies.]

Suddenly, things flow strangely, and he says in horror.

“Come on, we're summoning another skeleton to the subject...?" This is treason! ”

Whether the opposing Pokémon are appalled or not, Jeremy gives the opposing Pokémon no time.

[Summon Skeleton Horse.]

Jeremy boards the Skeleton Horse immediately. The user starts pressuring the opposing Pokémon forward, along with its Guardians.

With shields and Jeremy advancing in formation, the bandits step back.

* * *

Jeremy's Guardians had various shield sizes and types. But there was one thing they had in common. The pressure of those who advance their shields was no joke.

At the same time, the Guardians push their shields forward and narrow their distance to the bandits.

Bang!

Bang, bang!

Bang, bang! Bang!

The bandits would have been able to move around and play if they weren't alone, or if the terrain wasn't narrow. But no such situation was given at all. After all, it was the bandits who became more disadvantageous as time went on.

The bandit continues to step back. But soon I realized that I could no longer be bitten back.

Damn it! There's no turning back! ’

If I had gone further back, I would have drowned. If I did, I would leave the stadium. Eventually, it was out.

‘Ugh... I'm sure there will be a lot of torture if I lose this match. ’

He knew. A master thief who does his bidding. How ferocious the challenger is.

I would get that much reward if I did, but if I did not like him, I would be severely punished.

Damn it!

Eventually, a group of thieves felt compelled to lower their posture.

All we have to do is kill that skeleton! ’

In total, 10 stages of skeletons have been constantly pressuring themselves. But you don't have to deal with them all. As long as we get rid of the skeletons behind them, we have enough chances.

A storm bandit. He decided to pull out everything he had from the beginning. But a little anxious, he yells at Jeremy in a slightly shortened tone, unlike before. His voice was full of desperation.

“You're so mean! Come out and face me one-on-one! I have a skill called Storm Strike! If you hit the opponent 100 times with an incredible speed, you will break anything...! ”

Is his desperation working? Jeremy gives the orders to the Guardians in response to the bandit's shout.

[Everybody back off.]

The situation was insufficient even after pressuring and killing. Jeremie, however, bites the shields back as soon as he listens to the bandits.

* * *

It was a long way from the stadium, but I could see it as if it were close. The loyalty of observing the nature of the war stopped smiling at Jeremy's actions.

100 hits. I can't believe you told me that. They're stupid too. ’

If Jeremy is hit 100 times, he will take heavy damage, according to the opponent. But loyalty knew why Jeremy wanted to step up himself.

"Will you defend yourself with the shield of death?" ’

Jeremy has a death shield. The Death Shield has the ability to inflict a death curse on a target that may have attacked it at some point.

‘And the curse of death is a lot like the Death skill I learned recently.' ’

The Pokémon is a type that immediately kills the target.

However, there was something different about the skill of enthusiasm. Only those who attacked the shield were cursed, and the undead were not cursed. But it didn't matter. The opposing Summoners were Humans.

* * *

When Jeremy stepped out of the blue, what excited him was the bandits. He takes a step forward and cheers himself up.

"Hehehehehe. What a jerk. It's surprisingly simple, isn't it? I'll make you regret coming out alone. ’

Whether the bandit thinks so or not, Jeremy steps off the skeleton horse and slowly approaches him. Jeremy holds the shield of death in one hand and the flag in the other.

You could have used the flag as a spear, but Jeremy didn't. With a flag on your back, you raise your shield of death.

As Jeremy advances his shield, the thief's smile grows darker.

‘Shields won't do you any good if you try to stop them. ’

His own storm blow was a skill that sharpened the target itself. The bandits went forward each with their daggers in reverse numbers. To deal with Jeremy.

An immediate situation where the two of them are engaged in a battle. The first one to move in that situation was a bandit.

“Here we go! Here we go! Storm Strike!”

The thief chants his skill name, making his movements incredibly swift. It looks like you're seeing an assassin ambushing you, not a bandit. However, Jeremy calmly raises his shield due to his tremendous speed.

Suddenly, it seemed like a plan to give the enemy a death curse just as defensively as it is.

But Jeremy didn't go on such an adventure. Jeremy showed more than just how to fight with himself. It was not glamorous, but it worked outside the mind.

The opposing Pokémon's blade is sharpened, and Jeremy raises one foot and plunges it to the ground as he lunges into Jeremy's shield. At the same time, the skill was used.

[Ground Smash.]

The system was informed when Jeremy used the skill.

[Use Heavy Strike 2 if Jeremy loses on a roll.]

[The ground around you is shaking roughly.]

At the same time, the ground shook.

Kuku Gugu Bow!

As the ground shakes, the center of the bandits' weight shifts at a rapid rate. Haven't you ever been to a rocky land? He tries to fall without getting the center of his weight right. On Jeremy's trail, too.

“Huh…? Huh……! ”

And it was the beginning of his misfortune.

Jeremy lunges at the squadron of crooked thieves right in front of him. Of course, the bandits tried to evade Jeremy's approach. But it was already too late. Jeremy's shield snaps at his head, even before the bandit clears his posture.

After a while.

The bandits shake their brains at Jeremy's strikes. Because the Death Shield hit his head hard.

Phew!

After being hit in the head, something bad happened, no matter how high ranking the bandits were.

[A storm bandit was hit hard on the head.]

[He's been in a concussion for two seconds.]

[You can see and hear, but you can't move your body properly.]

And those two seconds were enough to determine the life of a thief. It was quick for a bandit who couldn't move his body properly to fall to the ground.

Fluffy.

Jeremy glances up at him, temporarily paralyzed, raising his shield of death.

[I looked at my level and it was so fresh...... Anyway, goodbye.]

At the end of the sentence, Jeremy slams down the edge of the death shield at the thief's neck. The bandits opened their mouths in a hurry because they didn't think they would get hurt like this. Maybe he could talk even if his body didn't move.

“W-wait...! ”

But Jeremy couldn't stop. His shield, which Jeremy slashed, snapped the thief's neck.

Qajik!

After Jeremy defeated the bandit crew, the system was alerted to the loyalty. I haven't given him that much karma yet because it's his first game. However, it was not too much karma for this simple game.

[Congratulations.]

[Your summoner has led the first battle to victory.]

[You will be given 10,000 karma.]

After all, Jeremy just wanted to know how good he was, so he took it upon himself. The hidden function of the Death Shield is useless.

In the end, the first battle ended too easily, unlike worries.
