“Don’t be fooled. Because it’s a frivolous trick and just a provocation.”
Choi Hyun-woo pulled out his sword at the words that Jin Ye-seul uttered from behind and said.
“I know. Don’t worry, because I wasn’t excited or not.”
“Who cares about you… What I’m worried about is that you’re ignorant and goofy, so Jihyuk will be a burden.”
“haha… .”
Saying that, Jin Ye-seul kicked the flying arrow with her feet and blew it away.
Yeeun Lee calmly moved the branches of the world tree while fiddling with her bow.
“Should I step back?”
To Hyun-woo Choi’s question, I answered while fiddling with my sword and spear.
“no… rather good The fact that there are no magical traps or devices means that this place has not been turned into a workshop yet.”
The most frightening thing about wizards, alchemists, and necromancers is the fortifications, also called workshops, so-called water battles.
If you make an area your own and prepare everything for the incoming enemy, you can literally show the effectiveness of a fortress, and the first iron rule against a fortified wizard in that way is to set the wizard there. It was to the extent of pulling it out of the mage or scattering the wizard’s realm itself.
rich… If it was an area like that of Richie, who had lived for hundreds of years, he would have had to put a lot of effort into attacking it.
But now, he wasn’t taking any measures other than simply sending an army of a mixture of skeletons and fairly powerful undead in the middle.
It was said that this place was not yet his territory.
It was also said that he did not even properly prepare for battle.
why?
Although there was time to place the undead like this, it must have been that there was not enough time to seize the territory.
“… … .”
The answer was simple.
Here is the energy left by Han Soo-young from another world.
Since it is such a powerful energy, no matter how rich it was, there was no way that it could take over the territory without stimulating it, and even if it was made into a territory in the first place, it was sure that it would soon be disrupted due to fraud, so he must have let go of it too.
It had come right.
And, at the thought that it would have been really late if I did, my strength went into the hand that was holding the weapon.
“… Necromancers are literally a one-man army. In particular, its strength is the ability to attack through a variety of combinations and to force a long-term warfare that forces the opponent to use endless warfare. In fact, it was said that there was a time when a country was destroyed due to an army of undead. But look at his army now.”
Most of them are skeletons.
The only things that stood out were Hana Durahan holding Choi Hyun-woo’s head and a few wights floating in the air with cloths on them.
“No matter how much you think about it, it’s hard to see it as a necromancer’s realm or a prepared ambush. It’s not that the entrance we came in was blocked. It looks like they intentionally left the escape route open and pressured the canal to get us to escape. why? From his point of view, the best option would be to kill me and retrieve the corpse when the opportunity arises.”
I started moving Henir’s shadow.
Fortunately, this time I moved on my own will.
“That means our attack is something he never expected. And the best moment to defeat a wizard is when none other than the wizard is embarrassed. In other words, now is the best time to take him down… !”
As always, most of the correct answers lie in a head-on breakthrough with force.
As soon as I finished speaking, I moved my fingers.
Quad Duck!
In an instant, Henir’s shadow rose and literally crushed dozens of skeletons in front of us.
“Isn’t that, Milited’s bastard?”
[…] Kill it! Kill them and bring their corpses to me!]
That was the signal.
At the sound of a voice from somewhere, the skeletons literally rushed towards us like a water wave, and we each raised our weapons towards them.
“Ugh!”
When Yeeun Lee stomped her feet, vines soared up from the ground, smashing the skeletons and obstructing their path.
It was clear that I had prepared while I was wasting time by talking for a long time on purpose.
“Get away!”
Jin Ye-seul knew her role well, so rather than going out, she focused on the skeletons who were aiming for Lee Ye-eun and Han Soo-young.
Lee Yu-na started making dozens of weapons while muttering, and Han Soo-young was also quickly forming a sign and memorizing spells.
“I’m supposed to take that guy.”
Choi Hyun-woo murmured as he stared at Durahan, who was running with a frightening force with his sword raised.
If so, there is not enough avant-garde to follow.
After thinking about it, I immediately took out one of the items I had prepared.
“What is that?”
“I got a present.”
What I brought out was the golem creation kit that I received as a gift from none other than Cas Lyle.
After taking out two of the three guns, I put the crystals in the potion bottle as he said, and then quickly threw them towards the inside of the skeleton.

One fell into them, and the other crashed against the wall, causing a raucous sound of glass bottles shattering in succession.
and… .
[aa!!!!]
[Kaah!!!]
Concrete, pipes, and reinforcing bars gathered together as if they had a will, and the golem swung his fist violently and blew up the skeletons.
Then the golem pushed them with his whole body, like a football player making a tackle.
Then, another thing that could be called a Skeleton Golem appeared, which was made by gathering the remains of the Skeleton, and began to shake their body and destroy their formation.
As soon as I saw that there were fewer places to pay attention to, I jumped into the middle of the guys with spears and swords in both hands.
As they frantically swung, slashed, stabbed, and slapped, a terrifying scream could be heard in his ears.
[Kyaah… !]
“next.”
Han Soo-young, who picked and destroyed only the whites floating in the air and blowing annoying curses and magic, muttered like that.
Magic bullets were constantly being fired from the tips of her fingers that made her fingers look like guns, which she showed us when we first met.
It was only the size of a small marble, but everything it touched was shattered regardless of whether it was a wight or a skeleton.
Lee Yu-na was constantly making weapons to support the surroundings, and as it was a weapon made with magical power, she was demonstrating excellent power in dealing with the undead.
In the case of Yeeun Lee, she didn’t forget to move the branches of the world tree while shooting arrows to disturb them, and to give blessings to us by memorizing spells from time to time.
To be honest, he was also the person who helped me the most.
“Ugh!”
However, surprisingly, Choi Hyun-woo was struggling against Durahan.
There were small scratches all over Choi Hyun-woo’s body, which he used to attack each other with his opponent.
[Kang Ha-kun, that Durahhan.]
It was according to Sbangali’s impression.
It was not because Choi Hyun-woo was weak, but because that Durahhan was stronger than I imagined.
Some of the swordsmanship he used was not a normal swordsmanship, but above all else, he was constantly pushing Hyeonu Choi because he was an undead, so he had to destroy his body to become incapable of combat, unlike normal humans.
In addition, it was evident that Choi Hyun-woo was unable to pour all his energy into dealing with Durahan because of the skeleton that occasionally rushed from the side.
An undead like that wasn’t something that could be made by gathering half-hearted corpses.
The person who became the main body of that Durahan must have been a famous swordsman in his lifetime, or a hero or hunter equivalent to that.
“… … .”

Of course, I had no intention of leaving it like this.
It was time to get ready to throw a spear to rescue Choi Hyun-woo.
“Jihyuk!”
Jin Ye-seul’s urgent call.
Just before she signaled the danger, I could sense something rushing towards me at high speed.
“Twitch!”
As he turned his posture and swung his sword, it quickly extended his fist and slammed the blade.
I could tell that this guy was an undead who put a lot of effort into it, just like that Durahan, by the feeling of his stinging and ringing wrist.
“this… !”
Then, suddenly, Jin Ye-seul came right next to me.
She grabbed my shoulder with one hand as if supporting me, and she flew away and kicked it as hard as she could.
[aah!]
“Kangshi?”
It was none other than a strong poem.
Covering her face with an iron plate and exposing her purple and green skin to perfection, it looked like it was a fighter in a bizarre pose to Jin Ye-seul.
His face was obscured by an iron plate, but the long, shiny black hair that flowed out from behind caught his eye.
“… … .”
Jin Ye-seul, who looked at the boy’s nails, licked the wound on his forearm, and then spit out blood mixed with a whistling sound.
“A eagle? You raggedy bastard, who dare you target with your poisoned nails… ?”
As soon as she murmured in a hoarse voice, the shadow of Henir that climbed up her body fell on her hand, taking on the shape of a gauntlet.
That was then.
[Kyaah!!!]
Creepy screams.
And, feeling the reaction of great magic, I reflexively pulled Jin Ye-seul back and spread an intangible shield using the ‘mirror of counterattack’.
But before that, a wave of magical power seemed to overwhelm us.
It was the protective magic that Han Soo-young unfolded.
Quang!
A flame mixed with purple and blue immediately stuck to the intangible wall she opened and exploded like an explosion.
After a while, over the faded flame, a little more distinct than the Wight who had just floated before, but reminiscent of red hair, a guy with a red cloth hanging behind him was swaying in the air.
“Look at this bastard… ?”
If you’ve made it this far and don’t notice, you’d be a fool.
He changed the appearance of the undead as if to mock this openly.
No, they couldn’t change their appearance, so they prepared them with similar temperaments.
I don’t know if the sword-wielding Durahan had plastic surgery, or if it was made by magic, but he was holding Choi Hyun-woo’s neck.
Kang-shi, who fights physically like a fighter, had iron plates on his face, but his black hair was fluttering as if reminiscent of Jin Ye-seul.
Finally, Wight, who floats in the air and spits out magic and curses, was hung with a red cloth like his hair, which is also the pride of Han Soo-young.
It wasn’t just me who noticed this.
The evidence was that Choi Hyun-woo, Jin Ye-seul, and Han Soo-young’s expressions began to turn harsh.
And Yeeun Lee, who looked at it from the side, murmured in a small voice.
“It’s bad taste. It makes me nauseous too.”
“… Don’t leave me alone.”
At that moment, a hoarse voice was heard, and when I turned around, Lee Yu-na had a grim expression on her face.
Her gaze was particularly focused on Kang Si.
It was over there that was the first to move in an instantaneous situation.
[You run away.]
As Sbangali said, the three undead showed themselves as if to show off to us, and then began to retreat quickly.
I grabbed Jin Ye-seul, who was about to follow me, and chinked around.
“As you said earlier, Yesul is a cheap provocation to excite you. So calm down, Yeseul.”
“… Oh yes. sorry.”
Jin Ye-seul said so and nodded her head.
Han Soo-young and Choi Hyun-woo didn’t say anything, but they looked just as angry as Jin Ye-seul.
… Not long after, we were able to defeat all the skeletons that filled the first floor of the shopping mall.
I quietly opened my mouth, feeling that everyone’s eyes, including the two golems, were focused on me amidst the wreckage of the skeleton piled up.
“Now then, what shall we do? continue? Or do you want to step back and wait for support?”
“Let’s go inside.”
It was Choi Hyun-woo who answered immediately.
While I was thinking the same in my heart, Yeeun Lee opened her mouth.
“I think so. By nature Necromancers shouldn’t give them time to reorganize. Even with simple skeletons, you have to put a lot of effort into dealing with them, so if Jihyeok turns into a simple attrition, as you said, the advantage is over there.”
I nodded and looked around.
“Anyone with an objection?”
No one was there.
After confirming that, I took out the potions I had received from Cas Lyle from the shadows.
“Let’s leave in five minutes. Here’s a magic recovery potion and a potion that boosts energy, so it’s okay for everyone to drink one bottle at a time.”
“Are you Jihyuk?”
“I’ll take care of it afterward.”
The potion of purification brought along with the horse was scattered over the remains of the skeleton.
It was because there was no need to leave resources that could be reused.
No matter how rich he was, he would not be able to immediately turn the corpses purified with the purification potion into undead.
“… Is this by any chance Cass Lyle, he made it?”
“uh… Yes.”
Seeing Ye-eun Lee’s nervous expression on her face, I thought for a moment and then nodded.
She pursed her lips, closed them, looked at them, and then swallowed them with a click as if determined.
“eww… .”
“great… .”
After a simple reorganization, we immediately headed towards the place where the three undead escaped.
And after a while, I stopped in front of a huge pit.
Inside, there was a strong poison and morale that even the most insensitive person could understand.
