The Barbarian Became a Necromancer

012.

oh that’s sore

Still, it’s not to the point where I can’t stand it.

I checked my body condition.

There is no fatigue from spiritual incarnation.

The aftermath of the storm sword is bearable thanks to the Bone Eater and buff magic.

I was sure

With the buff magic and Bone Eater, you should be able to use the storm sword twice.

‘I also collected a lot of undead.’

All the undead collected by Serad belonged to me.

Although it is the lowest level undead, it is possible to build a company made up of undead.

’36 zombies and 4 acid bombers?’

Acid Bomber was the same type of female zombie that brought me here.

Although it is a one-time effect, its destructive power is comparable to that of a 3rd circle fire property magic.

If you use Invisible Undying, you will be able to poke the enemy’s gaps.

‘Anyway, it’s amazing.’

Unlike other magics, arcane magic has no proficiency.

It is not possible to expect a good fortune to become stronger through repeated mastery or elevation of the realm.

Literally, it was an ultimate skill bestowed upon a wizard who had joined a school and reached a certain level.

Still, depending on how to use magic and techniques, the class is divided.

It was because of that that they were called full-time or beginners.

‘Maybe I’m fully matured.’

This guy’s mental power pushed me into the realm of understanding the moment I read the Arcane Spellbook.

It was raised to the level of maturity at once.

In terms of experience, it was no different from usual, but it was the mental strength that exerted its own strength when engaging in combat or magic-related work.

Before leaving, I looked around Serard’s laboratory.

I was looking to see if there was anything to be saved.

But all he could see was an experiment log and a useless liquid.

‘As expected, there is no black magic book.’

Not disappointed.

Because I didn’t expect it in the first place.

Because the transmission of black magic or necromancy is closed.

Arcane magic must be arranged and left as a book, and the teacher carries it, and most of the general magic is taught orally.

‘Still, if I keep hunting, I’ll be able to pick up a few.’

I stretched out my hand toward Degrease, who was sitting quietly.

Even if you put your hand on your head, it’s still.

Looking at it like this, it wasn’t a high-level monster, but it looked like a little big puppy.

‘Hide it.’

I chanted arcane magic in my heart.

The power of Invisible Undying, which was used as an experiment, permeated into Degrease’s body.

“hmm.”

It’s like this.

It’s the same as when you were alive.

The dark magic and the ugly pierced part are also gone.

If anyone sees it, it will look like a tamed monster.

Is it like becoming the only monster tamer?

I can’t take it out openly, though, so I’ll have to keep it in my inventory.

‘Even when there are many eyes to see, if I have an assortment, I will be able to openly operate the humanoid undead.’

This was the solution to the biggest problem.

Now we are done with our work here.

I climbed the stairs leading to the top without regret.

***

Alkanite entered the narrow passage.

They were divided into four-man teams to optimize troop management.

Everyone knew that it would come with a crisis.

But it was a promise.

“For the glory of the lord!”

“under!”

Zombies flocking to and from the narrow aisle.

Despite the murderous amount, the knights did not back down.

He prepared for battle with the Alchemist in the middle.

“Throw!”

The vanguard leading them orders.

The alchemist threw the vial.

A purple liquid covers the floor.

The zombies’ feet melted as soon as they touched them.

“Injection!”

The knights pulled out syringes.

A milky liquid with a soft light gleams.

They inserted it without hesitation into their respective forearms.

“Big!”

“Kuaa!”

Change came quickly.

Tendons sprouted on the forearms exposed through the greaves.

The bright yellow eyes that have transformed into those of a cat become thinner vertically.

The pitch-black darkness turned into a gray-white world.

The springing force was transmitted through the sword soldier, and the sword body trembled.

The knights lined up in twos listened to the call of the vanguard.

“Destroy all the evil in front of you, even at the cost of your life!”

“Aww!”

A resounding spirit echoed through the narrow aisle.

Soon after, the slaughter battle began.

Zombies to bite the living.

The knights constantly cut, suppressed, and advanced to punish the culprit of all this.

“Don’t despair! It’s our victory! Just cut it down and disperse the dark magic! Back off and you’re done! Defend the alchemist until the end!”

The alchemist also continued to support the knights.

It was the reason they were able to endure without being pushed back.

A mixture of various herbs filled the feet of the knights.

The fresh scent that rises invigorates and awakens the tired mind and body.

Alkanite’s fighting style was like that of a berserker as long as the drug was present.

Because he did not get tired easily, he trampled on despair and practiced swordsmanship.

“Huh, keuh… .”

“Ha ha ha… .”

But even that is limited to tens of minutes.

Human stamina was finite.

No matter how much you raise your physical ability with drugs and training, there is an end.

On the other hand, the zombies were alive and well.

Even though dozens of spheres were cut down and made incapacitated, they continued to flock.

The will to fight that has been hardened and quenched hundreds or thousands of times becomes dull.

Hope is transformed into fear in vivid despair transmitted through the five senses.

Still, the knights did not back down.

I acted like a stubborn person because I had no place to retreat anyway.

“Aagh!”

Eventually, the zombie bit the back of the neck and the knight screamed.

In the meantime, he cuts the sword around his neck like sawing to take him away.

When a hole was pierced in a defense made up of only four, it collapsed in an instant.

“Sah, live… Turn it off!”

The Alchemist with the weakest fighting power was defeated.

The vanguard had to deal with even zombies running backwards.

Even the iron plate wrapped around the body is terribly warped by the zombie’s physical strength revived by black magic.

“Cool!”

I was helplessly pushed away by the shock transmitted to my internal organs.

With his back to the wall next to him, the vanguard let out the breath he had been holding back.

‘This far… .’

The knights and alchemists who came with them fluttered their arms and legs asking for help.

But nothing could be done.

The feeling of being immersed in helplessness was terrible.

‘Is it really like this to die?’

Even so, it was unfair to accept death quietly.

The vanguard firmly gripped his sword.

He replaced despair with anger and swung his sword.

It was an intention to sever the head of the man who rushed with his mouth wide open.

At that moment, the approaching zombie collapsed like a doll with a thread cut off.

“uh?”

A moment of bewilderment at the sudden change.

Starting with him, other zombies were also knocked down.

The vanguard knew the cause of these changes.

Perhaps that is why he was thrilled with the salvation that appeared earlier.

“As expected, did you place the glowstone?”

A man with a heavy voice and a big hand.

Whether it was a glowstone or not, that didn’t matter now.

“Don’t worry, I’ve eliminated the culprit.”

undefeated warrior.

The vanguard, who rolled the sound in his mouth, held his hand.

“thanks… do.”

Those who did not believe in miracles came to believe in miracles today, seeing those who cut through despair.

***

Settlement was quick.

They were the undead who moved after receiving the dark magic of the black magician.

It was only natural that the main body would gradually lose its dark magic and stop functioning.

“How many casualties?”

Out of curiosity, I asked Duke Lönverton.

“There are 12 of them.”

“okay.”

It was considerably less damage compared to the troops brought.

Still, his expression was not bright.

The narrowed brow was full of dissatisfaction and anger.

I immediately figured out why.

‘By killing the warlock, Duke Terren’s position has grown.’

It was an obvious reason.

I didn’t want to dig deep, so I turned around without regret.

Teren, who was waiting, saw me and smiled brightly.

“As expected, I thought you would be safe. Was the black magician inside strong?”

“It was a tough opponent.”

“If you, a high-ranking warrior, felt that way, you must have been a tough opponent for me too.”

“I will not deny it.”

“Kyung, you are as honest as Leah said.”

Even as a great mage, Sera would have been a tough opponent.

The black magic she used at the cost of her life was strong enough to kill even a high-ranking warrior.

‘I didn’t have any damage because I was transformed into a spiritual body.’

Certainly, there was a reason why they couldn’t do anything about it even if they were openly fighting in the underground waterway.

I guess I’ll have to revise my rating.

Warlocks who have retired or appeared on the surface are stronger than I expected.

‘I must be nervous.’

Now it’s my turn to receive the reward I’ve been waiting for, but I wanted to take a break.

My body shuddered, as if my body was moving up.

“Then I will go to rest. If you have something to call, please send an attendant this way.”

I told Duke Terren the name of the inn he was staying at.

Then Terren put a hand on my shoulder.

“Stop that and come to my mansion. Why are you staying at an inn? They say it’s not enough for the royal family to take you.”

That’s because I want to rest comfortably.

I rejected all the offers of the attendants who had come.

The reason is simple.

Even if you are wrapped in a veil because you made a mistake while sleeping, try to be released.

It was almost certain that he would become the dew of the executioner.

“sorry. Since I am from a humble background, I felt more comfortable in a dusty inn room.”

“Umm, since I didn’t do anything for you, I’d like to treat you with utmost hospitality, but how can I not?”

“Thanks for the suggestion.”

“Since you stubbornly refuse, I can’t recommend it more. you are so… Be humble.”

“I’ll take that as a compliment.”

“It’s not a compliment, but… So, is there anything else you can ask of me? Unlike the reward from the royal family, I want to repay you.”

If that’s the case, that’s fine with me.

What should I ask for to root it out?

If you are the owner of the White Horse Tower, you should be able to receive help related to magic.

I looked down at the ring on my finger for a moment.

Also this would be nice

“Do you want to go to the Magic Tower? I guess I can take a moment.”

“Phew, what if I turned down this too? Would you like to teleport?”

“… I want to go slowly and have a conversation. On the way, I will tell you about my experiences with Leah at the academy.”

“oh! That’s tempting. Got it. Go slowly, like taking a walk. Heh heh heh!”

Phew, I just passed it.

I thought I would vomit if I experienced it in my current state.

Inwardly, he let out a sigh of relief.

I moved to the White Horse Tower with Teren.

I was able to score his points well as I went.

***

I saw the virtue of winning points.

‘Because I knew it would exist.’

In my hand was an ugly-looking stone.

It only looked like this, but it was as precious as an artifact.

‘Charging stone.’

In an era where artifact production technology was lost, charging stones were also one of the lost production technologies.

The effect of the charging stone is simple.

Recovering the number of uses of an artifact.

Even those that have lost their function by consuming all the number of times can be reused with this.

‘It’s a waste to write this here.’

It was more powerful than this, and I needed to use it for an artifact that would supplement my lack of strength.

‘In my heart, I want to rob the ruins, but I have no clue.’

Arriving at the inn, I pondered for a while.

According to Terran, an attendant from the royal family will come in a week.

The reward will be received then.

It was like having time to spare.

‘Then let’s get an artifact before that.’

Borrowing the power of an artifact is important as it is difficult to restore one’s own power without a spirit herb or elixir.

‘Because it’s hard to get spirit herbs and elixirs. It could still be for sale.’

I’ll have to go to the auction house sometime.

Since I had a lot of money, I intended to buy precious herbs or elixirs as soon as they came out.

Maybe it’s because a good performance artifact might come out.

‘It’s time to return to Rok the Wanderer.’

I usually have no intention of going to an auction house.

I was thinking of going to the black market auction house where rare items are traded.
