Episode 6
Elite Skeletons.
They were different from normal skeleton soldiers in many ways.
It’s like that since the summons.
‘It’s similar to making equipment with the materials you hunted.’
A normal skeleton soldier that can be summoned using any bone or corpse.
But the elite Skeleton Soldiers are not like that.
Gather materials through various quests and hunting.
It was an elite skeleton soldier who had to use the ritual skill on the material to succeed.
‘If it fails, all the ingredients will be ash. Did I have to start all over again?’
Flesh, blood, and bones to be used as materials, catalysts, and incantations.
It takes months just to gather each ingredient.
The only thing that is difficult to make is an elite skeleton soldier.
But the effect was certain.
‘First of all, I can put the same equipment as mine.’
Ordinary skeleton soldiers can also be armed.
However, it was possible for elite skeleton soldiers to wear equipment all over their bodies.
From weapons and shields to armor and accessories.
It means that it has the same equipment slot as the player.
And that’s not all.
growth and training.
Elite Skeleton Soldiers were able to level up and skill level up.
Because they have reason, they can give orders like real people.
According to the instructions and training, the control can be improved as much as possible.
Fafnir grinned.
‘Education is nothing to worry about.’
From noble mtl dot com.
The Skeleton Soldier Corps taught by Fafnir himself.
Even the names later in the novel won’t fall for it.
‘Let’s start by gathering the ingredients.’
Fafnir checked the skill.

‘It’s not that difficult material.’
Fafnil bought some materials from users in the market.
Originally, these were materials that had to be obtained by following the quest.
But he had money from robbing the goblin lair.
‘Now is not the time to risk your life for a pittance.’
Horizon then becomes embroiled in an uptrend at a tremendous speed.
When it peaked there, the current investment was really not a big deal.
‘I got some other ingredients, but these two are the problem.’
Bones to be used as materials and bones with ghostly spirits.
It’s a material, it’s a matter of choosing a monster, it’s not that you can’t find it.
The problem was the bones with ghostly spirits.
‘Bone before disappearing with resentment… … .’
Fafnil rested his chin.
Bones imbued with spirits can sometimes be found in the graveyard.
However, it is impossible to take it out and sell it.
In the first place, this bone was an item with an hour expiration.
‘It means you can’t get it if you don’t directly seek it.’
Horizon had a lot of cases like this.
Good items are corroded, or NPCs who are supposed to give a chained quest grow old and die.
A game that is infinitely close to reality, considering not only capital but also time.
‘Anyway, that means I have to step up… … .’
Unlike the other Necromancers, Fafnir has no Skeleton Soldiers to summon.
But that wasn’t too much of a problem.
‘To get a bone with a ghost in this area… … . There was a suitable place.’
A place I know well because it appeared in the original novel.
‘The time has come to use the combination formula received from the NPCs in Clover Village.’
Among the additional rewards given by village NPCs, there were potion recipes and skills, not equipment.
Fafnil traveled around the outskirts of the city and picked herbs.
– Gathering was successful.
-Obtained a red flame plant.
-Experience gained.
The small experience gained in the process is a bonus.
‘No matter how much I prepare, it’s not enough.’
after a few hours.
After getting ready, Fafnir moved somewhere.
Monsters of level 30 or higher appear.
It was in the direction of the high-level field zone.
[You have entered the catacombs (cemetery).]
– You have entered a map with the same attribute (dark).
-Attack and defense increased by +2%.
A cemetery in the northwest of Byron City.
Entering the entrance, Fafnir’s whole body was touched by a bleak aura.
‘It’s arrived.’
A graveyard full of rotting zombies.
There is a dark blue fog all around, and a deafening cry can be heard in the distance.
However, what stood out more than that was the zombies that filled up everywhere.
‘Then before the hunt… … .’
Sitting on the dirt near the entrance, Fafnir opened his inventory.
‘Shall we try doping first?’
Zombies are monsters over level 30.
He is level 16 and has no mediocre skills right now.
No matter how good his control was, he was a daunting opponent to face with his bare body.
-I used a strength-enhancing potion (normal).
– Strength increased by +5.
-Used agility enhancement potion (normal).
– Agility increased by +3.
Fafnir finished changing equipment and doping potion.
However, the condition of the option was a little strange.
Potions that increase strength and agility, not intelligence or wisdom!
It’s a setting closer to a warrior than a necromancer.
‘Okay, I’m done… … .’
After completing an incomprehensible setting.
Fafnir gathered the zombies among the tombstones.
that’s it
that’s it!
Fifteen zombies flocked like touts.
I walked slowly, but in an instant, the distance narrowed to a close distance.
aaah!
card!
Zombies opened their mouths.
It was then.
Fafnir’s spear drew a trail and decapitated them.
– Weakness attack!
– Weakness attack!
– Weakness attack!
Despite the level difference, zombies are cut down at once.
It is thanks to the rise in status due to drug doping.
excellent number.
Fafnir sliced up the zombies as if he were harvesting.
The decapitated zombies struggled and stopped moving one by one.
You got -20 copper.
-Experience gained.
After killing five or six zombies in an instant.
Fafnir grinned.
‘Still, this is worth trying.’
As long as you keep supplying the potion, it is possible to hunt enough.
Experience is also quite good, so there are not many places like this.
‘Then where… … .’
Fafnir’s eyes widened as he tried to catch his breath.
‘This doesn’t give me a chance to rest.’
Zombies appeared all over the graveyard.
Like a scene from a horror movie, they were flocking over the horizon.
‘This is why there were no people here.’
Catacomb zombies have an overwhelmingly wide detection range.
As the already strong zombies flocked in droves, the difficulty of hunting would increase rapidly.
‘It can’t be helped.’
Fafnir grinned and straightened the spear.
‘I have no choice but to try and see who can last longer.’
A long-term battle with physical strength.
Fortunately, Fafnir had quite a bit of knowledge in that area as well.
‘I’m going to practice fighting while conserving my strength after a long time.’
* * *
-Experience gained.
– Level up!
“Whoa.”
Fafnir wiped the sweat from his forehead.
“Now I have some time to rest.”
The fight against the zombies in the catacombs was thrilling every day.
Hundreds of zombies attack with serious injuries if even one touches them.
In the appearance of taking a zombie movie every time, Fafnil only showed the necessary movements and accumulated experience points.
Thanks to that, Fafnir’s level also rose by 5 to level 21.
He also earned a lot of items and gold, and gained several times the amount of money he had invested in potions and equipment.
‘Is this a pretty good efficiency?’
It is called a non-mainstream hunting ground, but the experience was higher than that of a mainstream hunting ground.
Compared to the difficulty, the cost performance was not good, so it was just non-mainstream.
The reward was rather better than the honey hunting ground.
Through many dungeons in real life.
It even fits the criteria of Fafnil, which was looking for the best efficiency.
However, the fact that there was little break time was a disadvantage, not a disadvantage.
I was able to barely keep my stamina by doing only the necessary movements with the tips I had in my body.
‘After taking a break and taking a breather… … . I can do some more hunting here.’
Since he had accumulated a lot of money, he should be able to buy the Skeleton Soldier skill.
It was meant to raise Skeleton Mastery.
‘Then get the bones with ghostly spirits, and prepare to make elite skeleton soldiers.’
After finishing the plan, Fafnir tried to go hunting again.
It was then.
aaah!
Zombies suddenly started flocking to one place.
‘what? Did someone else come?’
Fafnir, who was hiding in the soil, raised his upper body.
‘This must be a non-mainstream hunting ground?’
Getting to the source of the commotion wasn’t difficult.
After following the zombies rushing in from all sides, he soon saw a user surrounded by them.
“Ha!”
A female player in leather armor swings her fist.
‘It’s a tremendous power.’
The zombie’s head is blown away with just a slight brushing attack.
That’s almost level 40, no, level 50.
Seeing the light at the tip of his fist, Fafnir nodded.
‘No, the attribute is divinity.’
Horizon has an attribute system.
Inflicts less damage on opposite attributes, and increases the damage you receive.
The monsters in Catacombs are all dark attributes.
If it was the opposite of the divinity attribute, it was understandable that that power would come out.
‘Then it’s worth hunting here.’
This is a great hunting ground for divine attribute users.
But something was strange.
‘It’s a bit strange to fight, right?’
After swinging a fist.
Instead of a chain attack, he steps back and shakes his hands.
The undead zombies attacked again and drove the monk user into a corner.
‘Then the zombies would keep piling up.’
Undead zombies step back and recover their health.
The zombies who filled the vacancy with new HP continue to advance!
As zombies gathered from all over the map were added, the female monk was increasingly on the defensive.
From noble mtl dot com.
‘Still, it seems to be holding on somehow… … .’
A female user who is pushed behind the stretch.
What if you get pushed back like that and get surrounded?
Even if you want to run away, you can’t.
‘If I don’t help him, I’ll really die.’
No matter how different the properties are, the situation in front of me could not see the answer.
Fafnil surveyed the situation.
‘Zombies are all over the place. The surroundings are wide open and flat, so I can’t grasp the terrain.’
Zombies that had already been heard from all over the place continued to come.
If you want to fight yourself, you have to drag aggro and lure it into narrow terrain, but even that is impossible now.
‘I can’t help it.’
Fafnil took out several glass bottles from his bosom and threw them among the zombies.
big!
Zombies hit by a bottle looked around.
But there was no reaction.
Because what Fafnir threw was burning oil.
‘It went well.’
So now the next step.
Fafnir tossed the remaining bottle and took out another bottle.
[Fireweed Solution Bottle]
-Rating: Normal
-Classification: Consumables
-Effect: When hit, an explosion in a radius of 1m is generated for 0.3 seconds.
-Description: A solution bottle made by mixing fireweed with water. It explodes even with a small stimulus, so be careful!
‘The place to guess… … . It’ll be over there and over there.’
Just throw Molotov cocktails among the zombies!
“uh?”
The female user raised her head.
At that moment, the Molotov cocktails shattered.
Fire.
At the same time, fire broke out everywhere between the zombies.
Wow!
Kaaak!
Zombies are rotting corpses.
It means that toxic fumes are expelled from the body.
It’s still a good condition to catch fire, but I even sprinkled oil on it.
The embers thrown by Fafnir began to run amok in the environment.
That’s it!
ok!
The fire gradually grew stronger.
It’s strange that I don’t want to be noticed after such a big accident.
The eyes of the other zombies were all focused on Fafnir.
‘It’s strange to be receiving so much attention all of a sudden.’
“Gwa, are you okay?”
The female user inside also saw Fafnir.
“Come out quickly! If you don’t want to die under siege!”
aaah!
Zombies started rushing in without even hearing an answer.
A great party with burnt zombies and non-burnt zombies!
‘It’s really not a fuss because the tail is on fire.’
Still, it has to be this much to taste the hunt.
Fafnir grinned and raised the spear.
It was the start of an exciting hunt.
Cliche as hell, it’s poison. I’m out
Cliche as fuk, it’s poison. I’m out
