294 – Living well even when scattered (3)
Necromancer.
A special class also called necromancer or necromancer.
Generally, contracts are made with monsters called spirits or undead, but if the range of abilities is wide, contracts are often made with special and powerful monsters such as death knights, lichs, and even vampires.
As a domestic holder with such power…
Former Clan master, Hwang Dong-yeon is a representative case.
In fact, until the villain eradication operation, his ability itself was shrouded in mystery, so it was not well known that he was a necromancer.
However, due to his almost perfect handling of the undead army that filled the island during the operation, his leadership ability, and even the [Order of Harmony], The academic community evaluated him as “The best in the country in terms of skill.”
‘Because the Death Legion Commander rune is a fraud.’
I currently own the [Legion Commander of the Death] Rune.
This rune increases abilities when commanding multiple people, and there is no limit to the number of ‘commanders’ that can be contracted.
If you have enough magic power to maintain the contract, you can command dozens or even hundreds of evil spirits.
In the past, Hwang Dong-yeon used this rune as his main rune and displayed the majesty of taking down legion-level undead.
The battle time he showed was very short, and even that was fired at the Allied Forces, with the bond being taken from me in vain…
Anyway, the reason he was evaluated as the best necromancer in the country was because he showed such tremendous power.
‘… ‘I can’t use it properly, though.’
Unfortunately, I cannot use this rune properly.
The [Legion Commander of Death] Rune is a rune whose power itself is very effective when contracted with a ‘Death Spirit’.
But currently, I don’t have a single command under contract.
Originally, there was a temporary contract with the Bone Dragon, but even that became zero again as this dragon awakened into Tyrbond and changed into the form of a ‘complete sub-dragon that escaped the spirit.’
Of course, that does not mean that there is no thought at all in the contract.
Anyway, the [Promise Made by Yongeon] Rune is a legendary contract rune that enables training, spirit, and spirit contracts, and as long as there is the [Legion Commander of the Death Legion] Rune, there are no restrictions at all on spirit contracts.
It was clear that if I signed the contract, the undead would be a great help to my holder’s power.
‘… If a contract is possible.’
Just because a contract is possible does not always lead to execution.
A contract is ultimately concluded only when the contract holder and the holder agree to each other.
Even if I want to make the commanders my contract holders, if they refuse, the contract will end in failure.
And the undead encountered in …
From Noble mtl dot com
Almost everyone refused to sign a contract with me.
‘It’s a problem if the divinity level is too high.’
Unlike when signing a bond…
This is because my current divinity level has become too high.
If you do not possess [Dark Pact] Or the Malicious Incense series rune and your sacred power is high, the spirits will judge you as an unconditional enemy and refuse the contract.
Basically, if the sacred power itself is not tainted by the dark side, it can have light properties, and even the holy sword I am using now has that tendency.
So, after entering the dungeon, I couldn’t even witness the contracts with the spirits.
“All the undead that appear in this maze are contracted spirits. “Every time you wander through the maze, the necromancer hidden in the ground continues to summon you.”
Anyway, unlike me, I am a magician who made a large contract with the evil spirits.
As was convinced of the existence of such a necromancer and explained the current situation to me.
I touched my chin, thought deeply, and then asked.
“So there is only one necromancer?”
“According to our current understanding, that is the case.”
“One person can handle this many undead?”
The number of undead that Jayten and I hunted while wandering through the maze exceeded 100.
It was hard to believe that a contract had been signed with this many people, but As nodded with a confident face.
“You know how to do that, right?”
“Ah.”
[Legion Commander of Death].
A rune that eliminates the limit on the number of spirits that can be contracted.
Apparently, this necromancer also possessed that rune.
“Because the Oathkeeper finished the hunt so quickly, maintaining the summoning would not have required much magical power.”
And since I had so much fun wiping out the undead, I guess it didn’t take much magical energy to maintain it.
I laughed at that.
“It’s more like helping.”
“Still, I would have been embarrassed. The speed of hunting has become much faster than the speed of summoning spirits. So….”
As stopped speaking for a moment and concentrated his magic.
Suddenly, a water droplet appeared in the air…
Soon it turned into a long stream of water and penetrated the floor.
It was the spot that As had mentioned earlier, the place he had mentioned as ‘the current location of the Necromancer.’
“The location was revealed so easily. “Hide your magic power has become sloppy.”
Shooaaa-!!
Pababat-Pababat-!
Qua, quagga-
A huge stream of water pierces the floor like a waterfall and penetrates inside without hesitation.
As the water broke through the ground, it made a loud noise, as if a cannon had exploded.
As I watched the scene, I also stuck out my tongue.
‘… ‘It’s bloody.’
Words are like a stream of water, but they are absolute murder weapons.
The level of magic that had almost mastered [Magic Control] And water attribute magic runes made the inside of the maze vibrate with just the force.
Furthermore, the amount of magic contained in the water was enormous, so it was a torrent that seemed like it would go straight to the bottom if hit squarely.
Not long after As’s water magic unfolded.
The explosive stream of water penetrated to the deepest part of the floor and easily brought out the object we were looking for.
“Puuu… !! Ugh-! Some crazy people… !!”
A man with thick black hair rises from the floor.
That’s right.
Man…
Not undead, but human.
This meant that there was a high probability that he was a member of the Ludenarch School residing in the dungeon.
As soon as I saw him, I didn’t hesitate at all.
I jumped up from my seat and stabbed him with the holy sword.
Because it reacted immediately, it did not contain magical power, but it competed with its speed and divine power that made it difficult to react.
“Sigh… !!”
Kaaang-!!
Well, ugh-.
It was clearly a speed at which the Necromancer could not react.
It was a difficult time to create a [Magic shield].
However, the ‘black magical power’ that naturally gathered at the opponent’s side firmly blocked my stab.
It was the exclusive patent of the Ludenarch guys, [Black Shield].
“Hey, this monster… !!”
This bastard was embarrassed.
It’s just that [Black Shield]’S performance was so good that it automatically defended itself, and this thing didn’t react at all to my high-speed attack.
I understand.
I was suddenly pulled out of the ‘hidden space’ by water magic, and from there, I was struck with a series of sword strikes without any time to rest… Anyone could have been embarrassed.
Thanks to this, I saw a mixture of fear and embarrassment toward me in the eyes of the guy I met.
“Hey, wake up!!”
Has even your judgment become clouded?
Or did he feel that now was his only chance?
The opposing necromancer shouted in front of me with his teeth clenched.
And this.
It was a statement of an ultimate skill that I also know very well.
‘Death Revival.’
[Legion Commander of Death] Rune’s ultimate skill, [Death Revival].
A skill that creates a ‘simultaneous contract’ with pre-made spirits and summons them all at once.
This is a powerful contract-type skill that Hwang Dong-yeon once used during a villain sweep operation.
As expected, this guy possessed [Legion Commander of Death].
Gueouhuh-.
Kaggag- Kaggggg-!!
Stepping on the corpses of the undead that have already been eliminated, other undead are summoned.
The number is so large that it is difficult to estimate even at first glance.
This is a quantity that could completely cover my eyes right now.
You could move with Jayten like before, but since you summoned As, there was a better way.
“Jayten, go in! And As!”
“I’m ready!”
As a former dragon subordinate, As shows excellent sense in battle.
He already knew what I was thinking.
“New wave!”
The [New Wave] Skill of [Wave Swallowing the Vortex] Unfolds.
This is a skill I have already used once.
Of course, this time it is As’s more powerful skill.
Shoot, shoot!!
Quagagaga-!!
A huge wave hits the maze again.
Water pouring in from the right and water pouring in from the left.
If you put it all together, it looks like it will form an ocean…
A massive flood occurs.
As is a wizard with unrivaled skills in the water attribute, and his level of related runes and skill in manipulating magic power are at a level that is difficult to compare to mine.
Of course, even though it was the same [New Wave] Skill, the effect was on a different level.
“Wow, crazy… What is all this… !!”
The necromancer, who had already had a taste of As’s water attribute magic attack, watched this scene in awe as if he was suffering from PTSD.
The large quantity is divided into vain.
The undead were swept away by the torrent that formed in an instant, and as their actions were restricted, the advantage in numbers disappeared.
And this was also the real strength of [New Wave].
It is a water attribute magical attack that inflicts damage on the enemy, but the real purpose of the skill is to be cast in a wide area and completely destroy the structure of the area.
For this reason, Jayten, who is difficult to use in water, was unsummoned in advance.
“As!”
-I’m ready this time too, pledge!
Koo, kuuung-!!
With a cry that changed the form of the voice…
A huge turtle appeared on the battlefield.
Release [Polymorph].
And the archetype of As, which is much more familiar to me.
It was the majesty of the ghost dragon, Aspidochelon.
“Sigh… !!”
I immediately climbed onto As’s shell and looked ahead.
The target is a necromancer.
Time is until all the water in [New Wave] Runs out.
Guuuh-!!
Kagg- Kagaggggg-.
Although the undead, who had just regained their balance, came to block us….
‘As, let’s leave.’
-According to the will of the great being and the ally.
For As, the [Transportation expert].
This level of obstacle running was a breeze.
