How a Calamity Necromancer Retires

chapter 19



The team leader sincerely thanked Han Ji-hyeok for saving his life.

If it wasn’t for him, the team leader and all of his subordinates would have been annihilated.

But to have an opportunity to repay the favor right away.

That’s why the team leader readily accepted Han Ji-hyeok’s request for help.

However, the help Han Ji-hyeok asked for was very different from what the team leader expected.

“see······.”

Han Ji-hyeok stopped by the by-product market with himself.

Han Ji-hyeok looked at the various bones in the market and said to the merchant.

“Isn’t there a bigger one?”

“How much are you looking for?”

“First of all, it’s about the size of a horse, and I hope it’s strong because it’s a high-ranking monster. ah! And quadruped walking is even better.”

“How much? Quadruped walking? Then how about this one? It’s a monster called Demora.”

“A demora?”

After listening to the merchant and doing a search, Han Ji-hyeok said with her eyes shining.

“oh! this is not bad A large B-class gate cat monster. Give me one of these. Anything else?”

“It’s a little smaller and weaker than this monster, but there are some that look quite similar to horses.”

“That’s good. Please give me that too.”

Han Ji-hyeok bought a huge amount of bones from the market and put them all into a subspace.

Seeing that, the manager said.

“I think I heard that you can only put summons in it.”

“ah. Was it? I found out later that it was something else. Is it just bones or what?”

Han Ji-hyeok is vaguely evasive as if he is thinking of going overboard.

Seeing this, the team leader immediately smiled and said,

‘okay. What’s so important about that?’

There are too many things Han Ji-hyeok has done and it is too flashy to tackle such a trivial thing.

Returning to the factory after finishing all the shopping, Han Ji-hyeok takes out all the bones he has bought and raises his hand.

OK.

Tak tok tok.

The bones are being completed as if they were assembled one by one in an instant.

Some of them were monsters that the team leader had seen often, but the feeling of seeing them as normal monsters and seeing these skeletonized monsters was quite different.

Dalgrak. Dalgrak.

The monster skeletons move around according to Han Ji-hyeok’s gestures.

At that time, Han Ji-hyeok looked at the team leader and said.

“Take a ride.”

“···yes?”

“No saddle? wait a minute.”

When Han Ji-hyeok waved his hand again, the saddle was created in an instant.

“ruler. Get on it.”

“Would you like to ride?”

“I heard you were helping me.”

“···All right.”

I don’t know why, but the team leader boarded the Demora Skeleton with a saddle made as instructed.

“I walk.”

Demora started walking slowly like that.

However, the ride comfort transmitted from the team leader’s buttocks was really the worst.

“Ugh. Kut!”

It doesn’t hurt as much as an Awakener, but the saddle shakes violently up and down.

“wait a minute.”

At that time, Han Ji-hyeok raised his hand and muttered something.

“ruler. again.”

Then, Demora started walking again.

But, unlike before, isn’t the riding feeling stable?

“oh!”

“Is it better?”

“It is much better.”

“Then let’s jump this time.”

*

The team leader took turns boarding various monster skeletons without knowing why.

However, thanks to that, I was able to realize once again how excellent Han Ji-hyeok’s ability to remodel a skeleton was.

Even though it wasn’t a creature that existed to burn someone in the first place, it quickly changed to a level that people could ride.

“How is it?”

“At this level… it’s really good.”

Like a suspension, it moves the back of a person riding to give a sense of stability.

“hahahaha. Is this enough for me to ride normally?”

“is it so? Then, the first tuning is like this.”

“What are you trying to do anyway? I still don’t know… Ah! no way?”

Han Ji-hyeok was looking for a strong and big monster.

The thought that perhaps Han Ji-hyuk might have finally jumped into the production of combat-type monsters passed through the head of the team.

“Combat type! It’s a battle-type summon that people can ride!”

said the excited manager.

“Even if it’s just the demora I rode for the first time, it’s sure to be of great help in battle…”

However, Han Ji-hyeok said with a sad expression.

“Because everyone is like this.”

“yes?”

“How cumbersome it is to separately tune the battle horse and the undead riding on it. If you need a cavalry soldier, it’s best to just attach a skeleton upper body to the horse’s body like a centaur. I never fall off my horse, how nice.”

I don’t understand what you’re talking about, but the team leader clearly noticed one thing.

“You’re not a combat type…?”

“This guy is just for riding. I want to make this and sell it.”

“You sell? this? For riding?”

In a world where there are tens of millions of cars rolling around in Korea alone, there is no way that anyone would buy this simply as a dragon to ride around.

“Wait, it’s not finished yet.”

As Han Ji-hyeok raised his hand, Demora’s body began to change with a brilliant glow.

The pupils, which were empty due to the lack of eyeballs, are filled with a blue glow, and steam with a bleak energy rises here and there in the body.

Is that all?

Bones from the corners of the warehouse flew in and formed a form of bone armor, wrapping between the bones that had become empty due to lack of organs and flesh.

“uh······?”

At first, the team leader thought why he was making this, but an unknown sensation welled up in his chest.

Gorgeous bone armor and eyes that radiate a dreamy blue glow.

In addition, unknown vapors that enhance the atmosphere.

It was a demora skeleton that was obviously ugly with only bones left, but before you know it, it goes beyond regaining the majestic appearance of the original demora, rather transcends it.

‘What, what is this sense.’

I already know that it’s not for combat.

But something… it’s cool.

that’s huge too.

It was all the more so because he is the team leader who values appearance to the extent of buying a sports car.

“How about this?”

“Uh, how are you?”

“I put in everything that would look cool.”

“Are you cool? no way······?”

“yes. Its eyes glow and that, it has no function, it’s just a cool-looking dragon. I’m going to go to the middle of the day.”

It was embarrassing to hear that he added such a thing because of his coolness, but the team leader nodded his head involuntarily.

Because honestly it was cool.

“Don’t you think people will look away if you ride this guy around? Even if you didn’t ride and just followed behind, you would feel a lot of intimidation.”

Only then did the team leader clearly realize what this unknown sensation was.

It was possessiveness.

An undead mount that can only be seen in games.

A B-class gate monster adorned with splendid bone armor and brilliance.

“Uh, if I ride that and go around…”

Now, if you are an Awakened person, you will get a lot of attention that can’t even be compared to a sports car that everyone rides on.

At least, the intimidation would not be a joke if I had to lie face down in front of the house.

The team leader said with a blank expression.

“It’s ticklish… it’s ticklish.”

“Yes? What if we add a monster avoidance function so that we can ride inside the gate?”

“You can ride this to the gate?”

“Well… only the appearance is different, the basic principle is the same as the transport type.”

It is common for all Awoken to walk on foot when it comes to navigating complex terrain, especially forested trees.

But can you ride it around comfortably?

Now, the team leader clearly understands what Han Ji-hyeok said about horseback riding.

“It’s cool… an undead mount you can ride inside the gate…”

“Do you think it will sell?”

“Sold unconditionally, unconditionally.”

It can fill your vanity and even be practical.

What kind of awakened person can see this and not roll their eyes.

“is it so? ok, that was good Anyway, what else can I add here to make it cooler? I’m not familiar with this kind of thing, but can the team leader help me?”

Does it reflect my taste?

The team leader rolled his eyes.

“Eh, first of all, the color is a bit plain, so if you paint the bone armor black and add an iron plate, it will be a little more cool… Ah! I think it would look better if the legs were also shiny!”

“As expected, it was good to ask the team leader for help. I’m a bit out of touch with this kind of aesthetic sense. So, keep talking! more!”

“Can you make it react when you touch it? Something a little more communicative.”

“oh! That’s good too! Do you rub your cheeks with your hands when you touch your chin?”

“nice! That’s it!”

“good! good! I really like the boss! Continue!”

*

“Hasn’t the team leader been discharged?”

“You said you were on vacation. what did he say? I think CEO Han Ji-hyeok asked for something.”

“what? If so, tell me too!”

Han Ji-hyeok is a lifesaver who saved the lives of all members of the emergency response team.

“I guess the team leader once said that it was enough.”

Then one team member said.

“Anyway, is it really A-class?”

Han Ji-hyeok scattered the rain of bones like a storm from the sky.

The rain of bones instantly shattered all the skeletons on the ground in just a few seconds.

The question is, is that all Han Ji-hyeok has?

Because Han Ji-hyeok had never properly revealed his abilities.

“At first, it was 30 summons in F class, then suddenly 500. Then 1,000, then 2,000. And now it’s all A grade… To be honest, I wouldn’t be surprised if something new pops up now.”

Then, the team member shook his head and said.

“That I don’t understand either. If this is the case, wouldn’t it be better to disclose all of one’s abilities from the beginning and live with a sense of pride? It may or may not seem like you are trying to hide it.”

The team members who were talking about Han Ji-hyeok like that.

At that time, a team member jumped into the waiting room with a shocked expression and said.

“Ji, out now! Out now!”

The team members jumped up from their seats at the appearance of an urgent look.

“Is it going!?”

“Damn it… I’ve been shaking a bit since that day…”

Thinking it was an emergency dispatch, a team member said to the team that was about to leave.

“That’s not it, the team leader is here just now!”

“manager? You said you were on vacation. Besides, is that such a surprise?”

“damn. I can’t explain it. Go out to the parking lot and see for yourself!”

The team headed for the parking lot with a puzzled look on their teammates’ words.

however.

“How have you all been?”

The team leader greets the team in the parking lot with a calm expression.

However, something that the team leader was riding shocked the team members.

“W-what is that?!”

A massive feline monster.

However, the sight of her wearing shiny black bone armor studded with various jewels, radiance emanating from her eyes and legs, and bleak steam gushing out was truly majestic.

Seeing that, the team leader riding on the top said with a happy expression as he stroked something on the ride.

“let’s go.”

Then a sound came from something burning.

– Krrr.

Then, step by step, that something that walks towards the team members.

Then one of the team members who heard the cry said.

“Does that sound like a demora cry?”

“Demora? Is that a demora?”

The team members didn’t recognize it as a demora due to too many changes, such as full-body bone armor that covered the whole body.

The team leader who arrived in front of the team members said that.

“sit down.”

Then, the demora skeleton naturally fell down, and the team leader got off the demora with such light movements.

“great job. I am resting for a while.”

Then, as the team leader scratched Demora’s chin, Demora let out a pleasant cry and rubbed her cheeks in the team leader’s hand.

-purr.

If it’s Demora, it’s a B-class monster, and it’s a powerful monster that their entire team can’t deal with.

To think that such a monster was lying down quietly like that while showing off cute charms to the team leader.

“Shut your mouth, the flies will enter.”

The team members who had their mouths wide open at the words of the team leader spoke.

“What the hell is that? It’s a demo, right?”

“Is it a skeleton? That’s a skeleton, right?”

The team leader smiled and said.

“That’s right, Demora Skeleton. Representative Han Ji-hyeok made it.”

“Can I touch it?”

“Touch it.”

“By any chance…”

“I’m not sleeping, so it’s okay.”

Then, the team members rushed at Demora with their eyes shining.

I touched Demora here and there like that, but Demora didn’t react at all.

“How did you do that? I just rubbed my cheeks.”

“ah. that?”

The team leader said with a confident expression.

“That’s only for people you recognize as the owner.”

“Oh oh!”

“Shall I show you again?”

When the team leader approached Demora and stroked her hair, Demora made a pleasant noise once again, and the blue light that shone like snow shone thinly as if it had opened its eyes.

-purr.

“Oooh!”

“cute! It’s like a big cat!”

The team leader smiled and said.

“yes?”

The team member said with an envious expression.

“and. I heard you were asked by CEO Han Ji-hyeok, did you accept it as a thank you?”

Then the team leader suddenly said with a slightly gloomy expression.

“···That’s not right. In fact, it was only rented for ten days.”

“Ten days?”

“Sell deal, this. So he asked me to drag it around and find out how many people would react to it and how much would be appropriate.”

“You sell it?!”

The team member said with an excited expression.

“How much is it?!”

“I don’t know that yet. Rather, let me ask. How long will you live? By the way, it has no combat ability.”

Then the team members said with a slightly disappointed expression.

“You don’t have any fighting skills?”

“of course. You may have to ride around the city, but it’s difficult if you have combat skills. Still, it can run at a top speed of 120 km/h. Of course, if the government permits it.”

The team members who realized the point in an instant said.

“Yes.”

“This is neither a horse nor a car… Can it be recognized as a means of transportation in the first place?”

The team leader smiled and said.

“You can ride through the gate instead.”

“uh?”

“gate!?”

“So, how much can I get?”

You can bring your own monster with you, and you can even ride through the gate.

The reason luxury items are expensive is because of their rarity, and the rarity of this Demora Skeleton was so overwhelming that it exploded.

“Honestly, if I had money, I think I would buy anything.”

“me too.”

The team leader nodded and said.

“I will tell the representative. ah. By the way, now I have to cross the city to see people’s reactions and promote it, so who wants to go with me?”

Then the team members said with excited expressions.

“Hey, wait! I’ll pay half the car now, so wait a minute!”

“me too!”

*

Skeleton for boarding.

Regardless of the species, the appearance of this skeleton, which was named Commander, aroused considerable interest.

From the original version, they are medium-sized monsters that people can ride, so they have a great sense of intimidation when you look at them from the outside, and in addition, the various bone armor and brilliance decorated only to look cool really caught people’s eyes.

Of course, when this commander went around, I didn’t bother talking about it, but inquiries poured into Seron.

Because I am the only person in Korea who can create an undead like a corpse.

“There were countless people passing by and asking the price.”

“What do you say?”

“Most of the questions asked were how much was it?”

“They said they saw that it would exceed 100 million unconditionally.”

“ah. And the gate management guys say that you can’t summon a summoned beast in the city.”

I said with a sad expression.

“are you okay.”

Unlike the transport type, this one looks strong to anyone and is full of coercion, so it’s worth it.

But even so, if the necromancer spreads and more and more people drag it around, it will eventually become a meaningless protest.

Because these guys don’t have any offensive ability in the first place, and in case of an unexpected accident, the creature avoidance algorithm was created with special care.

“Because if there is a problem, I am going to nail it to the contract saying that the buyer is responsible.”

All I have to do is sell it.

After that, it’s the people who bought it drunk and the government officials roast and stir-fry it.

In the first place, I said it was for boarding, didn’t I tell you to walk around the city while riding this?

“I’m a civil servant, but if you say that in front of me…”

“Are you trying to catch me? A life saver?”

“… that’s just what I’m saying. I’ll pretend I didn’t hear it.”

okay.

“That’s how you deal with it. Then what should I do with the price?”

Kids like Demora are big and come from B-class gates, so their bone value alone is quite high, and when you add all sorts of jewelry and accessories, the cost alone is tens of millions of won.

I thought about it for a while and said.

“Basic price 150 million. how is it?”

Then the team leader said with his eyes shining.

“150 million? Is that true? At that price, I’ll go first…”

“ah. Of course, other than the ones I used to ride.”

I said, pointing to the bony skeleton of Demora, not the No. 1 Demora that radiates all kinds of decorations and brilliance.

“This is 150 million.”

“···yes?”

“Instead, the cost of the custom option is separate. how is it?”

First of all, the basics are cheap.

Instead, options are expensive.

How much brilliance weights and how much bone armor weights are sold like this.

In addition, if you want to change the decoration later, they will charge you and change it again.

In addition to this, when you sell second-hand to someone else, you will be able to continue to make additional profits if you receive the transfer fee.

Jagoro’s ride is an option after all.

I said with a smile.

“how is it? If you don’t have money, ride plain, if you have a lot of money, decorate it and ride it. Do you think this is good enough for marketability?”
