Necro Master

* * *

A berserker defeated by Raleigh. His loyalty was absurd.

‘Surprisingly, it's nothing. ’

Of course, Raleigh was strong. However, it was the end of a shameless fanaticist, considering the gravestones of the challengers. Even though all the summoners of loyalty didn't show up, they won. It wasn't harder to handle than I thought.

‘Well, if you look at the tombstones, the challengers were battling the berserker because of the mission. ’

In other words, the challengers who fought were most likely not masters. They are forcibly sent to the mission area. But he was a master. So it could have been relatively easy for the fanatic opponent.

‘Thinking about it, the mission to become a master was much more difficult than dealing with a berserker. ’

I was just unlucky for the fanatic who faced loyalty.

Anyway, the Lord simply died, but what he left behind was not simple.

500 Skeleton Soldiers lost their affiliation as he died right away. They stood there, dumbfounded.

[The Berserker who was in command of the Skeleton Soldiers has died.]

[Once you've defeated the Berserker, you can join the remaining Skeleton Soldiers or capture them captive.]

[Or you can get Karma by defeating them.]

[Decide what to do with the Skeleton Soldiers.]

The system suggested either absorb, capture, or defeat forces.

‘There is no reason to take prisoners. There's no one else to take them. ’

Then join them or kill them. It was either. Of course, the idea of loyalty was fixed.

‘You don't have to kill me. ’

If I could increase it, I'd have to increase my troops a bit more.

“Let them join my forces. ”

The system replied to the words of loyalty.

[500 Skeleton Soldiers will be moved to your Necro Legion Ring.]]

[Skeleton Soldiers are added to the Necro Legion's ring.]

[Current nested number: 383]

[Currently Stored Undead: 112 Zombies, 619 Skeleton Soldiers, 30 Wyatt,]

Thanks to the lord, the undead stored in the ring has increased to an enormous number. But his gift is not yet finished. By the time loyalty brought him into the company of the soldiers he left behind, his spirit condensed over the fanatical corpse.

[Concentrated Berserker Soul]

As the soul appeared, the system brought it to the front of the loyalty.

[Your summoner has defeated the Berserker.]

[You can decide what to do with the condensed soul.]

A condensed soul of a photopolitan who sits in front of such fidelity. It was just a very small shape, like a firecracker. It was close, so I could see the detailed description.

[Concentrated Berserker's Soul: It is his soul that the Berserker died from. His life force has condensed so far. As a Necromancer, you can decide whether to free his soul and ascend it, or absorb it and strengthen it.]

The loyalty of reading the description said reflectively.

“Why are you setting me free? ”

I had no reason to let him go without any gain. Then it was wise to just eat. Because of this, he immediately opened his mouth and said.

“Absorb.”

In the words of loyalty, the system explained in detail.

[With the spirit of a condensed berserker, you can strengthen one of your summoners.]

[Who would you absorb it from?]

[Recommended for Jeremy (1st Place), Others (2nd Place).]

It was Jeremy who emphasized that the system was ranked first. Then it didn't have to be absorbed by others.

“Absorb to Jeremy. ”

Then the soul of the photopolitan was absorbed into Jeremy's skull in an instant.

* * *

Thanks to the Berserker, I grew up in Defron and then Jeremy. What happened to Jeremy was even more surprising than Devon.

[Jeremy absorbed the spirit of the berserker.]

[Jeremy's Skill Rank advances to Grade 9.]

[Jeremy's position rises from 'Guardian General’ to ‘Guardian Lord’.]

As Lord of the Guards, Jeremy grew tremendously. His skills, which only worked on individuals, are now transformed into military skills.

The first change was the formation of special forces.

[Guardian's Brand: Jeremy's bones were engraved with the Guardian's tattoo. Whenever an ally nearby or self is attacked, the Guardian's location is charged with energy and can be used to use any skill.]

The next one consisted of skills used as an organization.

[The 'Absolute Defense’ is enhanced with 'Absolute Protection’.]

[Absolute Protection: Jeremy is on the front line, gathering and using all shields. Absorbs all damage for a certain period of time in front of allies. The amount of damage that can be absorbed varies depending on the strength of the shields gathered.]

Skills were enhanced one after the other.

[Aura, the Guardian Commander, is enhanced with Aura, the Guardian Monarch.]]

Aura, the Guardian Commander, had the ability to reduce only certain amount of damage. However, the guardian monarch's brother was different. It was simply renamed, but the content was very dramatic.

[Guardian Aura: Reduces damage taken by nearby allies by a certain amount. Protects allies who have suffered critical damage due to incapacitation with the power of a protective detail for a certain period of time. It will not be applied if there is insufficient energy in the Protection Seat.]

I had to express my admiration for reading the contents.

"Oops."

Now, summoning Jeremy will dramatically reduce their damage. Taking fatal damage to keep an ally from dying. Of course, I don't know how long it took, but it was a scam if I didn't let him die for just a few seconds. In the meantime, Marek needs medical attention.

‘There really is no end to growth. ’

But there was no surprise.

[Summon Guardian Shield skill is enhanced.]

[Greatly increases the number you can summon.]

You haven't changed your name, but there's been a tremendous change in your summoning skills.

[Summon Guardian: Summon Heavy Shields with Large Shield and Armor. Can summon while consuming the Guardian's power. Able to summon up to 100 groups.]

Jeremy now has three summoned numbers. I only got a business card called the Monarch, but I grew up much more than before.

‘I've become something I shouldn't be anymore. ’

Particularly his defensive skills were essential. Of course, skill growth still remained. The following two skills also grew briefly.

[Ground Smash Turns to Fury of the Earth.]]

[Rage of the Earth: Consume the power stored in the Guardian's Throne to enrage the earth. The ground shakes and splits. The more power you consume, the greater the range applied.]

[Skill ‘Taunt’ will be changed to ‘Guardian Taunt’.]

[Guardian Taunt: Jeremy in the Monarchy position doesn't need to use Taunt. His shields will now use Taunt to turn the enemy's gaze on themselves. Defenders can use Taunt every hour.]

As a result, Jeremy's growth ended with the last of his taunting skills.

* * *

It was about the last time Jeremy grew up. Loyalty has heard new news of the territory.

[The Temple of Chaos's "Blessing of the Dawn" has become available again.]

The news was not only that. Wright, instead of persecution, waited for his surrogacy.

[Delegate Light awaits your visit.]

[The Messengers of Medusa have visited your lands.]]

Medusa?

Medusa was a force I met when I was on the side of the Skeleton King in a conflict zone. Of course, Medusa did not face herself, but despite her power relationships, she was indifferent and neither hostile nor friendly to loyalty.

‘Then why did you come? ’

The messenger didn't seem hostile to me. I don't know how they got to their territory, but it was time to visit.

‘I should also use the blessing of dawn. ’

You've gathered quite a bit of karma. I think I should use the dawn's blessing to strengthen someone and meet the Apostles.

The dense forest gives me a cool shade. And the wet swamp situated beneath it provides moisture. The swamp would be an uncomfortable place for a human, but not for Nagas. The kingdom of Medusa that was built there was like heaven to the Nagas.

But the atmosphere inside such a kingdom was not good. Far from peace. A group of Nagas situated in the palace battle spoke with a serious look on their faces.

“Your Majesty. This place must be abandoned. ”

A Naga called Her Majesty. Her lower half was made of snakes, and her upper half was Medusa made up of a woman's upper body. The Queen's position, but Medusa is strangely unarmed. Well, there was nothing all the Nagas, including her, were wearing in the first place. But it didn't matter. Everyone who went out was a woman. Therefore, there was no one who cared about such things. There's only one thing they care about. It was the comfort of the kingdom.

Somehow Medusa opened her mouth to the words of the attendant.

“I can't give up this place. If we abandon this place, we have nowhere else to go. ”

The other Nagas begin to persuade Medusa in an urgent tone. They knew. If Medusa is defeated, the Nagas are finished.

“I've found a place to leave in a hurry. The Skeleton King of the Undead has decided to help us. ”

Medusa replied with a surprised look on his face.

“The Skeleton King who fought us so often to take possession of the land? ”

Medusa, of course, had no ill feelings for the Skeleton King. It was only natural for a strong man to conquer the earth, and because of that, they fought against each other. But a Skeleton King with a history of fighting each other, he reached out his hand.

Come on, Medusa and the Skeleton King never did anything nasty when they were fighting each other. I always fought fair and square. That's probably why it seemed to help even in this situation.

But Medusa asked about something else just before the Skeleton King reached out to her.

“What happened to the other allies? Any word from them? ”

Medusa says the officials bow their heads. Then the report continued in turn.

“The Centauri have refused shelter. ”

“The Harpies crashed our envoys high and killed them. ”

“The werewolves also beheaded our envoy and handed him over to the enemy.... ”

But before they could finish, Medusa was furious. She couldn't keep up.

“These ungrateful bastards...! ”

They were probably people who had been around, but they didn't seem to help when they were in crisis. Rather, they betrayed him. I couldn't help it. Honestly, going to the Undead was a bit of a burden. However, the Naga who brought me the news of the Skeleton King gave me some information that might be tempting.

“I asked him to introduce me to a friendly human first. Your skills are clear, so you are a human being who can provide shelter if you deal well. I sent messengers... But I told them not to worry, even if negotiations are closed, they'll hide them for a while. ”

You're a good human being? If the Skeleton King could talk like that, he must have been good enough to stop the rain from falling.

‘I don't want it to stop raining. ’

However, Medusa was satisfied to keep her body from getting wet by the rainfall, if only she could serve as a roof.

‘If you do so, you can do anything for the human who helped you. ’

I was willing to give myself up if I wanted to.

Anyway, I had to make a quick decision. Allies who lend a hand. No, now I bow my head to the traitors who draw their swords and cut their throats. Or even if he's been at war, he'll go to the Undead and hide himself. One of them had to choose.

But Medusa believed in the Skeleton King even more for some reason. Even though they weren't allies. Reason told me to look again for other allies to help, but I've already listened.

Medusa gives the order before any more risks occur. Now was the time of a minute and a second.

“We're going to the Undead. ”
