[You have solved 「Main Quest – Eliminate the seeds of disaster planted in the North.」]
[“Reward – Resurrection of the Dead” is obtained.]
‘It is the rebirth of the dead…’ … .’
[Resuscitation of the Dead]
Brings the dead back to life by transplanting their ghosts into the body of the dead.
# The dead cannot leave the 100m radius of the cemetery.
# The dead lose their power the moment the graveyard is destroyed.
When I first saw this ability, I had no idea what it was like to raise the dead.
But I soon found out.
“The resurrection of the dead.”
[Revives Hardik.]
A hand popped out of the grave protruding in front of the tombstone.
The crumbly flesh was torn as it was swept across the hard floor. The blood hardens and does not flow.
The creaking body with difficulty dug out of the ground and stood up.
It was quite bizarre to see its side ripped open by a monster and all its internal organs ripped out.
‘That’s gross.’
It would have been much better if it had been in the state of a skeleton. It looked like this because it had just died.
How much combat power is it?
To answer that question, I raised my sword to the soldier.
Huh-
The way he swings his sword is quite impressive. The burden on the body didn’t seem to matter.
After receiving the sword a few more times, I was able to get a general idea. A soldier of this level did not seem to have much difference in combat power compared to when he was alive.
‘The consumption of spiritual power is also low. Above all, obey my orders.’
He put the soldier down again and this time made the knight-level soldier stand up.
Consumption of spiritual power has increased significantly. Domination was also powerful enough to be felt greatly.
“Raise your sword.”
“… Okay… “Yes.”
The driver answered with difficulty. Were you able to speak?
“Come at me.”
The driver nodded and rushed toward me.
Kaang!
A fairly heavy sword strike fell. I already know this article’s skills. Because he was a member of the Amaranth Knights who died during this monster invasion.
“hmm… … . “Can you write a prayer?”
“… yes.”
The knight raised his spirits. Blue sword energy formed on the sword.
“You’re crazy.”
As I took his sword, I constantly thought about this ability.
Usability, limitations, public image, situations in which it can be used, etc.
Even considering various variables, when looking at the ability itself, it is safe to call it a deceptive ability.
‘He’s at the level of a knight, so his skills are slightly different from when he was alive.’
It wasn’t serious, but it was a difference between a mid-level driver and a low-mid level driver.
“Go in.”
I sent the driver back and headed to another place. Because it was late at night, no one else was visible.
In the first place, I had told the members of the Golden Lion Knights to keep a lookout to prevent them from entering this place, so I used my abilities with confidence.
The next article is a senior article. He was a warrior long before the current Northern Army existed. They said his skills were at the level of a senior knight.
Of course, I heard this from Gunter.
“The resurrection of the dead… … “Hmph!”
[Revives Serta.]
My spiritual power was draining away like crazy. It’s not so much that I can feel it, it’s just that I feel dizzy for a moment.
It had been a really long time since I used this much spiritual power at once. After my spiritual power increased a lot, I didn’t feel that much lack of spiritual power.
‘After being revived, my spiritual power is not particularly consumed. You only need to be careful when using the resurrection of the dead.’
What we need to check now is how much combat power a high-ranking knight can show when revived.
‘Serta is a skeleton without any flesh. I’ve seen the remains countless times, but it’s eerie to see them standing in front of me like this.’
Serta broke the frozen dirt floor in one go and jumped out, looking at me with empty eyes.
As I look at the blurry blue light inside, I feel goosebumps rising all over my body.
“Go for it.”
As I snap my fingers, Serta’s jawbone rattles.
As if he were laughing, he lifted his shoulders, naturally grabbed the sword stuck on the floor, and leapt.
Huh!
Kaang!!
A heavy stab cuts sharply through the air.
“Big!”
It is more powerful than you think. To the point where it’s burdensome to accept it without spilling it out.
“Günter deserves praise!”
The swordsmanship is unusual. A completely different style of swordsmanship than that of ordinary high-level knights.
It was a swordsmanship that focused on stabbing, completely contradictory to the northern warriors who mainly focused on cutting.
‘It is a swordsmanship that moves with an accurate understanding of the interval and beat. ‘You complicate your mind by giving ambiguous intervals.’
This was my first time seeing this kind of swordsmanship. A method of repeatedly giving confusing choices and disrupting the opponent’s timing.
Steps moving back and forth. The movement to control the distance is excellent, but… … .
“Hmph!”
A slight awkwardness revealed in the skillful swordsmanship using long limbs.
Serta, who was about to swing her sword at me, flinched for a moment.
Huh-, Kaaang!!
The tip of the sword, which was slightly short of reach and did not reach, stopped in front of my chest, and at the same time, Chohon flew Serta’s sword upward.
Then he brought the sword to the pure white bone without a single trace of blood.
Sigh.
The sword that was spinning around stuck on the floor.
Serta clicks her chin with an angry look on her face.
‘It’s scary because this habit is like this.’
No matter how advanced a knight you are, if you change your sword overnight, your old habits will be revealed.
The same goes for Serta. She focused on stabbing, so it is likely that she used a longer sword than she does now.
The gap between her, which was occasionally visible, was somehow awkward, so I looked at it and found that the difference was that the sword’s reach was shorter.
“This is invalid.”
She spoke for the first time. It’s a very angry voice.
“I think you all know that those are meaningless words.”
She closed her mouth at my words.
No matter how she felt, I focused on assessing the ability to revive the dead.
‘I think it was said that he was a high-level knight, but even considering the difference in swords, I would consider him a mid-level person.’
It seems like you can dominate if you force it, but I think it would be very difficult.
‘If Serta is like this, it will still be impossible for me to raise my ancestors with my abilities.’
Still, it might be possible to cause Potter at least. There was still room.
After sending Serta back to the tomb, I approached Gunter.
– You have all kinds of abilities.
“I want to bring back Günter, too, but I think it will be difficult in my current condition.”
– Okay. I don’t really want to wake up looking so ugly.
Gunter surprisingly refused to be revived. After killing the shadow archer, he seemed completely detached.
Maybe, seeing the North collapsed because of my blindness to revenge, I feel regret.
“I don’t know how long I will be in the North, but I am grateful.”
– It’s me. Thank you for protecting the North.
I left the cemetery, leaving Gunther behind.
As time passed, Brain Crow’s body was discovered within the castle, and it was discovered that it was a chimera.
And a new main quest occurred to me.
[Main Quest – Corruption of the Heir]
[When Lev Hertia was on the defensive, it joined hands with demons and began to become corrupted. The king of the Brillant Kingdom, Maurice Hertia, is sacrificed to summon a demon and ascend to the throne. Kill Lev Hertia and save Maurice Hertia.]
[Reward – Call Soul]
‘What is this… … ?’
Is this what Mr. Cohen meant when he came and said that Brilliant’s situation was not good?
They are joining hands with the devil and trying to summon the devil by sacrificing the king… … .
‘You’ve gone crazy.’
What I heard was that Lev’s resistance was stronger than expected and that the forces within the Geut Kingdom were split in half, creating a serious confrontation.
It was a situation where we had an overwhelming number of absolutely strong players. I was confident that even if I missed out, I would never lose.
I never thought Lev Hertia would cross the line this far.
If he ascends to the throne in this way, he will inevitably be swayed by the devil. Lev Hertia probably doesn’t know that.
‘Fortunately, the situation in the north has ended. The monster army retreated, the sword demon disappeared, but all the remaining named were killed. There will be no invasion again.’
Cleaning up after the fact was a problem, but it was something that could be done without me.
Moreover, since this incident has been witnessed by Shinsung and Baran, including Karina, they cannot help but provide support.
‘We have to go now.’
There is no time. We don’t really know what Brilliant’s situation is yet, so we need to get there as quickly as possible to deal with it.
Summoning a demon ultimately creates an environment where demons can overrun.
In the past, Lev ascended to the throne with ease. Is that really the reason why the devil was not summoned?
‘No, if a demon could have invaded the continent so easily, it would have done so a long time ago.’
A few more years passed after Lev ascended to the throne, demons roamed the continent, and demons appeared.
Meanwhile, Lev was mysteriously assassinated, and Louise, who remained, took over the throne.

But not long after that, Brilliant is destroyed by the invasion of demons.
‘There will definitely be restrictions. There is no need to rush. The fact that the main quest has popped up for me now means that I will have time to deal with it even if I leave right now.’
I exhaled slowly and calmed my beating heart.
“… “The Allied forces will return tomorrow.”
Dissolution of the Allied Forces. A large number of support personnel will be sent to rebuild the North, but the return of the Allied Forces will not be very pleasing to the Northern Army.
I also wanted to do more or go back with the Allied Forces tomorrow. However, right now, every minute and every second is a waste.
“I’m sorry, but I have to go too.”
Stefan’s expression hardened a little at my words. But I can’t help it.
I immediately struck up a conversation with Cohen.
“We should leave right away.”
With those words, I started preparing to return to Brilliant.
The people leaving today, including myself, are the Knights of the Golden Lion and the Knights of Brilliant.
Since there are not that many people, the return time will be shorter.
If necessary, you can split the number of people in half and go faster.
“what? “Why are you leaving so early?”
Zane, the leader of the Rose Knights, asked me. There was regret on his face.
Well, it was a short period of time, but we fought together, so maybe we developed a sense of camaraderie.
“Brillant’s situation is not very good.”
“How bad is it that you’re in such a hurry?”
“It’s probably a lot worse than Sir Zane thinks.”
“Huh… … , It looks serious. “Is there anything I can do to help?”
I didn’t expect to hear that they would help here. It would be a great help if the Rose Knights led by Zane came with us, but that would not be possible.
“Thank you even if only from the bottom of my heart.”
I didn’t ask for help at all. In the first place, they were knights belonging to the Kingdom of Rosaria. It is a body that cannot be moved at will.
“Captain! “We’re ready!”
Dominic came over and said to me. I never thought it would be over already. Since they were in the north, they became very quick-witted.
“good.”
My gaze shifted to the side.
From far away, Kali Argen was walking with a slightly more serious expression on her face than usual.
‘I don’t think Brillant would be particularly interested in that guy?’
I don’t know why it was so serious, but it seemed like everyone had come, including Kali Arzen.
“I have to go now.”
“Is it true that you are going on a white wolf?”
“yes. “They are well-trained, so as long as you give your legs some strength, they will be fine.”
Cohen nodded slightly, and Brother Kar glanced at the white wolfs a little fearfully.
Carly Arzen and Kate Travis didn’t seem to be interested, and the Knights of the Golden Lion were already experts at riding white wolfs, so it didn’t really matter.
“Then say hello-.”
“for a moment! for a moment!”
At that time, Devon Biermatts rushes over from afar and shouts.
‘Why are you doing that?’
“Big, big.”
In front of me, Devon relaxes his neck and looks at me with an arrogant look on his face.
“I heard things aren’t going well for Brilliant, right?”
“Yes, but.”
“Our White Horse Knights will help.”
Are you suddenly offering help? Devon’s White Horse Knights are a completely unexpected force.
‘It would be nice if the White Horse Knights came to support me… … , why?’
I thought about asking why, but decided to stop. There is no need to make me feel bad by doubting that I will help you.
“… … It could be dangerous. “It may take several times longer to return to Forzent.”
“Okay. “Are you saying you don’t like it?”
“It would be nice if you could help me. “It will be a forced march.”
“That’s not a big deal to us, the White Horse Knights.”
Devon: Contrary to his outward attitude, this guy secretly seems to have a good heart.
‘Your talent and skills are outstanding. There is enough passion. He’s a guy with a lot of potential to become big in the future.’
It would be nice if we could become friends in the future.
I smiled and held out my hand to him.
“thanks. “Don’t forget this debt.”
“… … .”
He closed his mouth and slowly took my hand.
“… … .”
“… … .”
“Shall we leave this alone?”
How long are you going to shake hands?
“Big, big!”
Devon hastily lets go of his hand and turns his head.
“Anyway, the White Horse Knights are already ready to leave.”
“okay? It’s fast. “Then tell me to come here.”
“i get it.”
After saying that, Devon left.
‘good. ‘I’ll have to leave as soon as the White Horse Knights arrive.’
I looked beyond the walls of the South Gate.
Pure white foggy sky. It was as if I could see the path ahead of me. A series of unpredictable events.
As time passed, I felt that the continent had festered more than I thought.
‘Call the soul…’ … . I wonder what kind of ability it is.’
