How a Calamity Necromancer Retires

The team leader immediately ran to the benefactor Han Ji-hyeok’s request for help.

Waiting for such a team leader were various skeletons with sturdy bodies.

and······.

“bout!”

At Han Ji-hyeok’s request, the team leader attacks the skeleton with a sword.

However, the skeleton’s defense tossed off the team leader’s attack to the side.

Then, the skeleton takes a step back and takes a defensive stance again.

“crazy······.”

how to say

It feels like fighting a real fighter who is good at two-handed fighting.

“Keep attacking!”

“Ah, I see!”

“in various ways. Cowardly methods are good too!”

“A cowardly way?”

Then, after staring at the skeleton for a while, the team leader throws two daggers hidden in his arms and attacks at the skeleton’s leg.

Dalgrak. Dalgrak.

However, even such an attack was lightly dodged by a skeleton who slashed both daggers with both hands and jumped backwards.

“and······.”

His movements were on a completely different level from the worker skeletons he had seen so far.

“Chairman Han, what the hell is this?”

“What is it, a summons.”

“Are you making real battles now?”

Then Jihyeok Han shook his head and said.

“no? This guy is for bodyguards.”

“Wait, guard?”

“Didn’t you feel that we weren’t attacking?”

“uh? Come to think of it······?”

A skeleton that only defended and evaded, but did not attack at all.

Han Ji-hyeok said with a smile as if he was in a good mood.

“I’m going to make a bodyguard and get him a job as a bodyguard. This guy is D-class bodyguard Death Nai… It’s annoying, so let’s just call him Skeleton, because they look the same from the outside.”

Doing it and now making a skeleton for bodyguards.

“A bodyguard skeleton at a level that can sufficiently block the Awoken. Wouldn’t everyone want this? We plan to release it in various grades here.”

Although the team leader is not a business person, he felt it instinctively.

This is a business that cannot be done without money.

“…that’s a really enviable ability.”

“It was nothing.”

“But isn’t this enough to mean that you didn’t intentionally load it with offensive capabilities?”

“Honestly, you are right. I intentionally left out the attack function.”

“May I ask why? If you have offensive abilities, you could send them to the gate to hunt monsters.”

Then, Han Ji-hyeok spread out two fingers and folded one.

“First, the job problem. If you release a lot of skeletons and catch monsters, the Awakeners will come! It’s amazing, would you like to stay still?”

Then the team leader, who understood right away, said with a wry smile.

“There will be a fuss, a high-level awakener will wipe out all the low-level monsters.”

When a High Awakener enters a lower gate and catches a bunch of monsters, it is called sweeping in informal terms.

Of course, this is like Han Ji-hyeok, a Class A Awakener, releasing summons in all directions and wiping them out.

Even the person himself is sweeping money away from business, but if he only sends summons to dry the seeds of low-level monsters, what kind of awakened person will sound good?

At that time, Han Ji-hyeok folded his second finger and said.

“Second, money. You know how expensive the ransom of an awakened bodyguard is? I have to give up hunting. So at the same level, this side will make more money.”

Fully understanding, the team leader nodded and said.

“understand.”

“It would be a headache if the pet got into an accident with an additional attack ability attached to it. some kind of safety device? So I left it out altogether.”

“okay.”

At that moment, an idea popped into the head of the team leader.

“ah! Come to think of it, if it’s for security, then the emergency response team will also need it.”

“Emergency response team?”

“Anyway, isn’t the emergency response team’s role to block monsters when an unstable gate opens? It’s perfect if you use the skeleton for bodyguards because you can block monsters more easily.”

“oh! That’s a nice idea! This is why I like the team leader.”

Han Ji-hyuk starts muttering something to himself with his eyes shining.

“I need to reinforce the monster opponent algorithm, but since it’s something I have to do anyway, if I spray the bodyguards first and patch slowly…. Are you okay?”

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

“But aren’t you losing your Emergency Response Team job?”

Then the team leader smiled and said.

“It can’t be, the emergency response team is in a manpower shortage. Besides, if you have a skeleton, you can send the skeleton to the front and fall back when your life is in danger like last time, so it would be rather a welcome.”

“Good good. Then consider that too.”

When an unstable gate opens, a skeleton guard is sent to block it, and in the meantime, a power measurement is completed and an appropriate emergency response team is sent.

It was clear that in this way, the probability of an accident could be greatly reduced and the workload on the emergency response team would be greatly reduced.

“ah! Come to think of it, you said you were going to release it by grade earlier. How many grades can you go up to?”

“It’s grade B.”

Then the team leader was silent for a moment.

“To be honest, no matter how I look at it, I don’t think you are a Class A Awakener.”

Being able to summon over 10,000 skeletons and create summons comparable to those of B-class Awakeners is Class A.

Then Jihyeok Han shrugged and said.

“Think whatever you want. Anyway, let’s continue the experiment. ah. If you have off-duty subordinates, could you ask for help? I have to do F-class and E-class experiments, and there are still a lot of tests to be done, such as how many lower-level Awokens a higher-level bodyguard skeleton can handle.”

*

A world where no one knows when they will wake up.

Of course, criminals were no exception, so people were secretly afraid of Awoken with strong armed forces.

This is especially true for people with a lot of money.

It was because the threat of abduction by the Awoken was the one that popped out every time I forgot about it.

Among them, Yeo Woon-goo, chairman of Yeoryeong Group, the 23rd largest in the business world, was famous for his obsession with safety.

That’s also true, because he had the experience of being kidnapped and subjected to harsh treatment by an Awakener with malicious intent when he was still the heir.

Fortunately, the guild sponsored by his father, who was the chairman at the time, came forward to rescue Yeo Woon-gu, but the trauma he suffered at that time made Yeo Woon-gu obsessed over safety.

Of course, what he cares most about for his safety is his security team made up of awakened people.

However, the main axis of the security team suddenly began to shake.

“Chairman, I have endured it because of my relationship with you, but I don’t think I can anymore.”

A Class A Awakener and Yeo Woon-goo’s most trusted bodyguard had informed him of his resignation.

“Chief Park, is it because your salary is low?”

“no. Rather, I think I received too much.”

“Don’t do this, Chief Park. Is it because you don’t know how much I trust Chief Park?”

Then, Chief Park said with a bitter expression.

“I know. So it was even more difficult to talk about it. But I can’t do it any more. Now, I will be 40 the day after tomorrow, but I want to take on the challenge one step higher before it is too late.”

Due to the nature of Awakeners who become stronger by hunting monsters, Awakened Bodyguards were virtually no different from giving up on their growth.

Yeo Woon-gu said urgently.

“Then, I’ll hold off on leaving the company for now and give you a vacation, so why don’t you come back at your leisure?”

Director Park shook his head and said.

“Challenge is also a challenge, but in fact, I am mentally exhausted.”

It is not an ordinary thing to protect and practice someone by your side every day, but even Yeo Woon-goo is a person who gets anxious when Chief Park leaves his side even a little bit.

Naturally, Director Park, who had been through such a life for too long, is now exhausted.

“If it’s not me, there are other bodyguards, so don’t worry too much.”

Then, Yeo Woon-gu said with a drooping expression.

“If Chief Park is omitted, there are two B-class people, and the rest are all low-level Awakeners. If class A attacks me, can there be a response with only the security team without Chief Park?”

The number of Class A Awakeners is about 1,000 across all of Korea.

Of course, it is extremely rare for such a high-level awakening person to have a single bodyguard in charge, so Chief Park, an A-class, is truly the best person as a bodyguard and was the first-class contributor to allowing Yeo Woon-gu to run the company with peace of mind.

If Park leaves the company, Yeo Woon-goo will inevitably suffer from anxiety.

My heart is even more heavy because it is Park who knows the circumstances of Yeo Woon-gu.

“···after. Then I will hold out a little longer until I find a successor.”

Yeo Woon-gu smiled brightly and said.

“I, really? Thanks, Manager Park! thank you so much!”

“Instead, it’s just one month. From then on, I will live for my family and myself.”

“Yes, yes. I’ll try to find something in the meantime. Thank you, Chief Park!”

*

“I was rejected.”

Yeo Woon-goo frowned at the words of an executive who was instructed to recruit a new bodyguard to replace Chief Park.

“Did you offer enough money?”

“I did. I offered 3 times my income at the gate… but it was rejected.”

“Why?”

“They say they don’t like being restricted in their lives.”

From the point of view of an Awoken who is already making enough money, he has to give up growth and has to be alert all day long. Security work is a 3D industry in the Awoken industry.

Yeo Woon-gu said with a long sigh.

“It touches me even more how precious Mr. Park was.”

Yeo Woon-goo realized how much Park had devoted himself to him and how difficult it was for the Awoken.

“A few Class C and Class D Awakeners think positively, but… they are asking for 5x.”

At least, most of the people who accept the offer are awakened people who have given up on growing up.

As a result, there were many cases where they asked for a large amount of money with the intention of earning a lot of money.

However, there are not even such Awakeners, so what I can’t find is the floor of this Awoken bodyguard.

“after. I can’t help it, if the quality is lacking, I have no choice but to fill it with quantity. Say you know.”

“Yes, Chairman. Then deal with it like that…”

At that time, the president’s extension phone calls.

“yes. Is there a problem.”

Then the secretary said.

-Chairman, I got a call from CEO Han Ji-hyeok of Seron Group.

“Seron Group?”

The Seron Group, which has recently expanded its business at a terrifying pace, is certain to join the ranks of conglomerates sooner or later.

-It looks like you are looking for a bodyguard. If you are interested, please contact me.

Then, Yeo Woon-gu jumped up from his seat and said.

“Is that true?”

To think that Han Ji-hyeok, who is not someone else but an A-class awakener, contacted him about the bodyguard.

Yeo Woon-gu exclaimed in a loud voice.

“Call me right now and make an appointment… No, give me your phone number! I will contact you directly!”

*

“welcome.”

Yeo Woon-goo leads a security team with Chief Park to the promised place.

Yeo Woon-gu shook hands with me and said,

“Nice to meet you, Chairman Han. It’s the first time I’ve seen it in person like this.”

“hahahaha. Yes. Yeoring Group has nothing to do with our business.”

At that time, Yeo Woon-gu looked around and said.

“By the way, you mentioned the bodyguards, but by any chance, where are they…”

As you’ve heard, you can feel their obsession with safety from the first meeting.

I pointed to the warehouse and said.

“This way. Come in.”

Yeo Woon-gu, guided by me, entered the warehouse.

Then Yeo Woon-gu looked at the skeletons lined up in the warehouse and said with a surprised expression.

“Skeleton?”

Skeletons were already roaming all over the country, so no surprise there, but these skeletons were different.

Because they were armed with hard armor unlike skeletons with only bones.

“Let me introduce you. It is a skeleton for security.”

Then, Yeo Woon-gu said with an absurd expression.

“Was the bodyguard you mentioned a skeleton?”

“yes.”

“I know that skeletons don’t have combat power, but you use them as bodyguards?”

“To be precise, it’s not that it doesn’t exist, it’s that I didn’t make it. I didn’t feel the need to make it. But recently, people’s demand for safety has increased, so I decided to make it this time.”

Then, after a moment of hesitation, Yeo Woon-gu spoke.

“The bodyguard I want is at the level of dealing with the Awoken.”

“As expected, it would be faster to show you than to talk at length, right? Do you have an F grade?”

Then a bodyguard raises his hand.

“I am F-class.”

“okay.”

As I snapped my fingers, an F-class bodyguard skeleton came up to me and stood next to me.

“From now on, I won’t move a single step. If you succeed in breaking through this skeleton’s defenses and attacking me, Duduk will reward you.”

At my words, the bodyguard glanced at Yeo Woon-gu, and when Yeo Woon-gu nodded, he noticed and rushed at him in an instant.

Then, a skeleton blocked my way.

From then on, the battle between the skeleton and the bodyguard began.

To be precise, the bodyguard’s one-sided attack and the skeleton that kept blocking it.

As the attack continued to be blocked, the bodyguard suddenly turned around, gave a fake, and rushed at me, raising his hand.

At that time, the skeleton wrapped around me and defended the bodyguard’s fist with my body.

“Ohhh!”

Yeo Woon-gu, admiring the sight, said.

“Is this… beyond your imagination?”

I said to the bodyguard who was standing there with a dumbfounded expression.

“You worked hard. Of course, the attack is a failure, so there is no big reward.”

I said as I walked to Yeo Woon-gu.

“As you can see, the bodyguard skeleton is a skeleton that is strictly focused on security. They prioritize the safety of their guards over their own. He would even spare his life to protect the target of his guard… Ah, of course he had no life, but anyway. On top of that, these guys don’t eat or sleep, so you literally have 24-hour close security.”

Yeo Woon-gu said with his mouth wide open.

“24 hours… close security?”

okay.

how safe is it

He said he would protect me even when I was sleeping.

ah. Come to think of it, when you wake up and see a skeleton face, you might pass out in surprise.

This will need some improvement.

Shall I put on a helmet?

At that time, Yeo Woon-gu said with his eyes shining.

“Skeleton for 24-hour close security against the Awoken…”

“There is not even the fear of betrayal. why? Because I am the owner of this skeleton. Is there another Awoken person in the world who has a better identity than me?”

Am I not the chairman of the Seron Group and a businessperson representing Gunsan?

At least it means that there is no reason to be greedy for money.

Yeo Woon-gu nodded and said.

“I am very satisfied.”

“Yes?”

“However, if there is one thing I regret, it must be my skills. I was looking for a bodyguard to fill the vacancy of Director Park.”

At that, I shrugged my shoulders and said.

“If that’s the case, you can worry about it. The other end that this skeleton just walked through is an F-class skeleton, then an E-class, a D-class, and finally a B-class bodyguard skeleton.”

Yeo Woon-gu and his bodyguards immediately realized what the water supply meant.

“B-class!?”

I said to them, shocked.

“How are you? I can rent these bodyguard skeletons according to the level you want. If you are curious, you can experiment.”
