138. Chapter 138
“great! Is there a way to rebuild the skeleton like that? I couldn’t even think of it!”
The work of filling the inside of the crocodile, the predator of Saha, which was the boss monster on the 10th floor, began immediately.
First of all, Sewoon took the lead and built the basic materials.
Thanks to the knowledge of the Black Tower’s magic, the Raise Chimera, the magical elements were perfectly grasped.
However, production control soon passed into Baekhyun’s hands.
“Oh, I will take the lead in that part. Looking at the curvature of the bone, the tendons were probably connected in this way.”
“Could you make it a little thicker there? It is a muscle that is used to maintain posture, so it needs more strength.”
“Could you, by any chance, tell the difference between white and red muscles in a monster’s corpse? Then you can efficiently classify roles according to muscles… … .”
Amazing anatomical knowledge.
His skills, which were said to have been his long-term skills during his lifetime, began to be revealed in earnest.
It would be the first time even for Baekhyun to dissect a crocodile carcass, but perhaps thanks to his dissection and research on various monsters, he was able to accurately pinpoint the anatomical features even though it was his first time dissecting a monster.
This was knowledge that even Sewoon, who had just absorbed magical knowledge, could not understand.
So, the most important assembly part in making the chimera was entirely left to Baekhyun.
“As expected, it was nice to be together! There were a lot of things that got in the way when I was alone. hahahaha!”
However, the size of the crocodile was huge compared to the castle wall.
Since there were no corpses in the workshop, he had to bring corpses from the desert with the help of soldiers along the way.
The organization-building magic also cost a lot of mana, so Sewoon’s 5-circle mana was running out in an instant.
‘I never thought that making a chimera would be so difficult.’
It is said that he absorbed magical knowledge through Mamon’s treasure, but there was a big difference from actually trying it.
Somehow, I heard that warlocks created their own dungeons and lived in them for tens or hundreds of years, immersed in research.
When I actually tried it, I could see why.
It was an act that Sewoon would never do, but Baekhyun seemed to be able to do it.
“This, it seems that we need more corpses than we thought.”
It seems that a considerable amount of carcasses have already been dragged, but only now the basic skeleton of the crocodile and the tissue of the right forelimb are captured.
It seemed that I would have to hang here for at least a few days to complete it.
“By the way, do you have yourself?”
“of course!”
The scale of this undead production was too large.
To be honest, even as Se-Woon, who had absorbed the knowledge of the Black Tower, it was difficult to have confidence that this production would succeed.
Even if it was a black tower, it was rare to create an undead of this scale, and there was almost no way to fill only the internal organs.
Even so, Baekhyun’s expression looked more confident than ever.
at that time.
“Kreureung… … .”
The low cry of a beast came from behind.
When I turned around, a group of hyenas were surrounding Sewoon and Baekhyun, baring their teeth.
It seemed that he was drawn by the smell of the corpse, and came to recognize Seun as an enemy.
“I will sort it out.”
“No, this is a good opportunity!”
“yes?”

Just before Sewoon took out the Durandal, Baekhyun stood up and placed his hand on the right front leg of the crocodile that was about to be finished.
-The constellation ‘Horse that tramples on death’ roars loudly towards the sky.
Soon after, his mana flowed towards the bridge.
Surprisingly pure, pure black mana.
The crocodile’s legs reacted immediately, and the hard-packed muscles began to wriggle.
“Isn’t this a great opportunity to experiment with intermediate courses!”
The moment Baekhyun smiled with joy, the hyenas seemed to sense a sense of danger and immediately jumped out of the sand.
Those who even ignore Seun and show their teeth to Baekhyun.

Just before their teeth, which were said to break even bones with their tremendous grip, touched Baekhyun, a huge shadow came over their heads.
“Kreung?”
Crocodile’s distinctive rugged leather that looks as hard as armor.
That huge leg fell on them.
Kwajik!
There was no resistance.
The moment the bridge fell, they disappeared, buried beneath the sand without even leaving a shape.
It has no skills, but an overwhelming power created by its size and weight.
I only moved one leg, but that’s about it.
What if I made Saha’s predators completely undead and made them move?
No one would dare to stretch their legs in front of a predator.
“Yeah, perfect! This leg isn’t finished yet, so it’s still awkward to move, but I was able to come up with an improvement point from the movement I just made!”
The soldiers who were watching from afar opened their mouths wide at the sound of impact from the fall of the bridge.
They hadn’t been able to take their eyes off this side since before, but this attack must have shocked them too.
Even with Black Tower’s knowledge, Baekhyun’s skills are hard to catch up with.
The gate opened slightly, and I heard the sound of someone’s footsteps rushing in.
“Hey, hey! You were here! Have you been looking for a while?”
“You mean me?”
It was one of the soldiers I saw at the Davan bar yesterday.
After wandering around to find Seun so much, he even lowered the cloth covering the respirator and was struggling to catch his breath.
Although he had doubts for a moment, Sewoon soon guessed why he had come.
It was because he remembered the conversation he had with Yasha yesterday.
“This is a call from the inner castle! The lord said he wants to meet you in person!”
It seemed that helping to make the chimera would have to be postponed until later.

“Im here! This is the giant rock wall, one of the pride of our city, Skabe!”
The inner wall was not a typical brick wall like the outer wall.
A natural wall made of soil and stones rising high.
It was a wall similar to the circular wall that rose around the crater, which is said to remain where the meteor fell.
I wondered if Skabe itself was a city built by people gathering around this wall.
The walls, which seemed to have been hardened by high-temperature heat from a mixture of soil and stones, were harder than the walls of the outer wall made of bricks.
“Isn’t that wonderful? Now it has been damaged and no record remains, but it is said that it is a trace left by a great man descended from legend.”
it’s a legend
Hearing those words reminded me of the mural Yasha spoke about.
Perhaps that ‘great man’ also refers to outerwear?
The reward through investigation is also a reward, but I thought I should check the mural somehow.
“Loyalty! I am Arrak from the South Gate 2nd Platoon Archers!”
“What is going on?”
“I brought an outsider by order of Yasha, the commander of the South Gate.”
“An outsider?”
“I heard that the lord called.”
“I didn’t hear anything like that. wait a minute.”
“yes!”
The two guards guarding the castle looked over at Sewoon, frowning.
Indeed, don’t the guards of the castle know the guest called by the lord himself?
It can’t be. They just wanted to lower Sewoon even a little bit.
Although the soldiers of the South Gate owed their lives to Sewoon and vividly witnessed the military force right in front of their eyes, those soldiers would have treated it as a ‘bloated rumor’.
Fortunately, before Sewoon’s patience ran out, the guard who had contacted the insider nodded.
“Confirmed. It’s surprising that the lord calls out an outsider.”
“hahahaha… … . Now, let’s go this way.”
The soldier who brought Sewoon continued guiding him while breaking out in a cold sweat.
However, Sewoon had no intention of quietly holding back his anger here.
I didn’t intend to cause a commotion, but rather than being ignored and passing by, I was thinking of paying the minimum price for teasing myself.
Skip.
One of the applications of Kilkerga’s stealth technique.
The moment you pass them, move your hands exquisitely outside of their sight.
That hand exquisitely picked up the pocket he was wearing.
“Hey, what’s on the lunch menu today?”
“It seems to be the meat of the monster you defeated at the South Gate this time.”
“Ugh, I think I can already smell the fishy smell.”
“Why, isn’t that also edible if cooked well?”
“If you cook well, that is. You know our catering skills.”
“Well, let alone the fishy smell, it would be nice if you at least cooked it all.”
“I can’t. Let’s eat outside today. Just because I won the card game with the next room yesterday.”
“Oh, are you shooting?”
“hehehe, I’m in a good mood, so I’ll buy it for you especially today.”
The guard was flirting with the colleague next to him, unaware that his money bag was gone.
It seemed that his anger had subsided a little as he remembered the image of the man who would soon be out of money after having a delicious meal outside.
‘Skabe’s resistance. I thought it wouldn’t be much, but it’s more than I thought?’
As soon as I entered the inner sanctuary, what came into my sight was a beautiful oasis.
Palm trees stretched high into the sky around it, and people dressed in fine silk were chatting leisurely.
A completely different look from the people outside the inner sanctuary who were tired of the heat and moving their feet busily.
No matter how nice the lord is, the difference between classes seems inevitable.
“Isn’t it beautiful? This is the second time I have entered the inner sanctuary too!”
Sewoon nodded slightly.
After passing the oasis, a building appeared that looked surprisingly appropriate to the word ‘sand palace’.
Perhaps, that is the castle of the lord.
When I arrived in front of the palace, feeling the glances of people glancing at me, the guards guarding the palace blocked the entrance, just like the guards in the inner sanctuary.
It wasn’t the skinny body that I thought was characteristic of the people of Skabe.
He was about 2m tall, with thick muscles and a well-eaten, glossy bronze skin that stood out.
The equipment was also different from that of the other soldiers.
‘If I had equipment like that, I’d give it to the soldiers on the wall.’
Indeed, how many times will those who guard the palace fight here?
No matter how much I thought about it, it seemed that the number of battles would be higher for the soldiers in the South Gate.
It was understandable in my head since I had to protect the lord, but I couldn’t help but dislike it.
furthermore.
“When I said I could smell a rotting corpse somewhere, it must have been the outsider I had heard about.”
“Shouldn’t you have washed up and come back? Still, this is the place I came to meet the lord.”
“Hey, what do you not know? Even if outsiders wash their bodies, that smell permeates their bodies because they always wallow with monsters.”
“Really? hahahaha, I didn’t know that! I think the smell of horse manure would be better. Would you like to bring some horse manure from the stable and apply it?”
As soon as they see Seun, the two guards begin to make fun of him.
Watching that scene, I thought that if the attitude of the soldiers at the southern gate and the reaction of the guards in the inner city for the first time was a nobleman.
It was not someone else, but such an attitude towards a guest called by their lord himself.
There were few possibilities.
Is it because the discipline here is messed up, or because I live confined to my inner self, have I forgotten even the bare minimum of courtesy toward outsiders?
otherwise
‘Something like doing it on purpose.’
It could have been to undermine the reputation of Sewoon, who was praised close to a hero among the soldiers of the South Gate.
No, that would be the correct answer.
“Look, I’m afraid I can’t say a word.”
“Look at that. Didn’t I say it was all bullsh*t?”
“We’ll tell the lord well, so why don’t we just go home on our own? Don’t get tired of going in and peeing. hahahaha!”
At the entrance of the palace, I saw a man leaning back and looking this way.
Perhaps, that man is their executive.
It became clear that this position was a kind of test bed to discredit Sewoon.
If so, there was no reason to wait any longer.
“If you’re that curious, check it out for yourself.”
“what?”
“This bastard dares… … . omg!”
sereung.
As if the guards had waited, the moment he was about to pick up the spear in anger, the Durandal in Seun’s hand stopped right in front of the guard’s throat.
The eyes of the man who was leaning back at the entrance gleamed strangely.
