Raise Skeleton.
This is the most basic magic of a necromancer, literally raising a skeleton. Unlike other magic, this is a magic that can only be used if you have a ‘dark circle’.
Fortunately, Seun had created a second mana circle using the Black Tower’s training method in the joint a while ago.
Black mana flowed out from Seun’s hand and seeped into the corpse of a wild boar that was now only bones after it was decapitated.
Bam!
The bones that had been torn apart by the meat being stripped away began to shake and pull each other. The vertebrae meshed together one by one, and the legs connected to the pelvic bones.
“Whoa!”
“What, what is it!”
The people around Seun who were digging meat could not help but be surprised.
The bones are moving.
Because on Earth, it was something beyond common sense, something that could only be seen in movies.
Some people thought a monster was appearing and took out their weapons in a panic.
Dduk dduk!
Meanwhile, the bone that had been infused with black energy regained all its pieces.
The moment when the skull that had been lying alone in the corner approaches the floor and interlocks with it.
“Get up.”
Woohoo!
“What the heck is that!”
“Did you do it?”
The boar’s bones rose from their seats, spreading their knees.
It must have been a fairly large boar, as it boasted a considerable size even though all its flesh and skin had disappeared.
Flash!
A red light leaked out from the eye sockets of the skull that had been filled with pitch-black darkness.
When Se-un did not answer, the people became more wary.
That moment.
dump.
“What the hell is going on… … .”
“Is that some kind of magic?”
“Well, this is not a place where common sense applies… … .”
The boar. No, the being that had now become a ‘boar skeleton’ knelt before Seun and bowed its head.
An attitude of utter submission.
Se-woon stroked the boy’s forehead as a sign of his acceptance.
‘This guy should be enough.’
The Necromancer’s most basic summon, the Skeleton.
Compared to zombies, they have lower strength and defense, but since wild boars are strong monsters, even if they become skeletons, they will still have the strength to pull a carriage.
Moreover, undead such as skeletons have one huge advantage.
That’s right, endurance.
As long as mana is provided, the undead never tires. In a situation where you have to pull a carriage all day, they are a much better fit than monsters captured through taming.
‘Just in case.’
Se-woon raised his hand again.
The amount of luggage on the outskirts of town was greater than expected, so it was thought that it would be difficult to accommodate it all in one carriage.
then.
“Get up.”
Knock knock!
Just summon another skeleton and that’s it.
As with the first summoning, the boar’s bones were aligned as Seun instructed, and it stood up.
Soon, two skeletons bowed their heads on either side of Seun.
‘This is the limit.’
The number of skeletons a necromancer can summon per circle is roughly two. Since Seun had two circles, it was possible to maintain a total of four skeletons.
However, the acceptance limit varies depending on the target of the magic.
Seundo could support four bones of a normal human, but only two of a wild boar, a more powerful being.
“Eek!”
As Seun turned his head at the sound of people around him, the two skeletons naturally moved their heads to follow him.
Then the man nearby took a deep breath and took a step back.
‘Well, that’s a normal reaction.’
The fact that a corpse was alive and moving was something that ordinary people would not take lightly.
But these skeletons will have to pull the carriages that the twin sisters will build in the future, right next to the people.
So I needed to make sure these guys were safe.
“You don’t have to worry, it’s safe.”
“Me, really?”
“You can come and touch it.”
“I, I’m fine… … .”
“Then can I touch it?”
Yushua appeared, cutting through the crowd. She seemed to be preparing food with the camp people.
She walked out confidently and stood in front of the skeleton who was bowing his head next to Seun.
‘You’re nervous.’
Although she was trying hard to hide it, Se-woon could see that her hands were shaking slightly.
No matter how confident she was, she was still just an ordinary person who had just fallen from the tower. So it was natural for her to be scared when she saw the skeleton.
But the reason he stepped forward with such a confident attitude was probably because he understood Se-un’s intentions.
“Ugh!”
“Ugh-”
A small scream was heard from Yusuh, so loud that only Seun could hear it.
At her touch, the skeleton rose lightly from its seat.
Anyone else would have been startled and jumped away, but she held on with her eyes tightly shut and her head turned so that no one else could see her.
After a while.
“Greuk, greuk-”
The skeleton began to rub its head against Yushua’s hand as if showing friendliness.
Yusuh, who noticed it, opened her eyes wide as if she was curious, and this time she touched the skeleton’s skull with both hands.
“Wow, what kind of pet is that?”
“Me, really?”
“Then let me try it too… … .”
“Can I touch it too?”
“amazing!”
The moment Yu Seo-ah showed interest, people’s anxiety also disappeared.
When Se-un nodded, those who felt curious came closer and started touching the skeleton.
Of course, the skeleton’s movements that were just seen were under Seun’s direction. Skeletons were creatures that would not move even a little bit unless instructed by their master.
Thanks to Se-Woon’s sense and Yoo Seo-Ah’s help, people’s anxiety about skeletons disappeared as if it were a lie.
And after a while, two girls who heard the rumor came running towards us quickly.
“Wow! It’s real! The skeleton is standing up!”
“Brother, are these the kids who will pull our carriage?”
“It looks strong! Could you make the carriage a little bigger?”
“I like this one!”
“Then I’ll pick this one!”
“Sister, do you want to have a competition? Whose carriage moves faster?”
“Call! Just look, our little cutie is going to be much faster!”
“The creator relies on the users instead of his own work! I will compete with my own work!”
“Oh, no! Of course I will compete with my work!”
The sight of twin sisters riding on top of a skeleton brought smiles to people’s faces.
* * *
Darkness fell on the camp.
Since the last wave ended just before sunset, we decided to move the next day.
Perhaps because they were tired from preparing to move, everyone fell asleep earlier than usual.
‘Well made.’
Before going to bed, Se-un spread the leather sleeping bag he had received from people on the floor.
I usually fell asleep using the wolf cloak on my back as a blanket, but it was nothing compared to something that was made specifically for the purpose of a sleeping bag.
The size was just right for my body and it felt soft to the touch. The fluffy fur blocked out the cold night air.
-The constellation, ‘The Hungry Prince’, pats his swollen belly and lets out a deep breath, saying that it was a satisfying meal.
As this was their last meal here, Seun took great care to serve Beelzebub some food.
The ‘Red Claw, Yashak’ that was defeated in the last wave. Seun used the power of gluttony to burn several Red Monkeys that he had defeated, including that guy, with magic.
Thanks to this, not only did his agility and intelligence increase significantly, but he was also able to completely dispel Beelzebub’s complaints.
I probably won’t be whining about being hungry for a while.
‘This is the second chapter of the tutorial… … .’
Se-Woon recalled his memories before his regression.
I saw him barely escaping death and being forced to embark on a journey among people who had lost hope.
Wouldn’t it have been better to die here?
I’m talking about the scene where people were leaving the camp full of corpses while thinking like that.
‘The past is the past.’
Se-woon shook his head briefly and reviewed his future plans.
Things to watch out for in the second chapter, hidden pieces to find there, etc. Since you only get one chance to take the tutorial, if you miss it this time, you won’t be able to come back.
Only when the shining crescent moon reached directly above Seun was Seun able to finish organizing.
Just as I was about to fall asleep.
-The constellation, ‘The Crow with its Head Down’, lowers its beak and points at you.
‘hmm?’
A message from Mammon, the god of greed, has appeared.
Unlike Beelzebub, who would appear drooling whenever he got a chance, Mamon was usually quiet, so it was natural that he would be interested.
-The constellation ‘The Crow with its Head Down’ points at your sword, causing greed.
‘Was it like that?’
Durandal, the legendary sword discovered through a hidden piece in the training grounds of a forgotten hero.
It was natural that the God of Greed would be interested. He showed great interest when he drew his sword in the hall.
however.
‘No matter how much you drink, you can’t interfere with the players.’
You can’t just take it away at will.
Because the constellations that exist on the top floor of the tower basically cannot interfere with the players on the lower floors.
Even if they did interfere, they would have to twist the law of causality and inflict great damage on their own rank. That is why many constellations tried to have followers under them and exert influence on the lower levels.
– The constellation, ‘The Crow with its Head Bowed’, authoritatively recites the command to offer the sword to him.
“Why me?”
-The constellation, ‘The Crow with its Head Down’, frowns, tightening its talons.
Seun’s attitude was completely different from when he first faced Mamon.
nobleness.
Even in front of the demon god, who was known to be of the highest rank among the constellations, he did not appear to be pushed around at all.
Of course, there were good reasons for everything.
– The constellation ‘The Crow with its Head Down’ warns that if you refuse his orders, he will revoke your right to use the treasure vault.
“Why don’t you try canceling it?”
-The beak of the constellation, the ‘Bowed Crow’, trembles.
At first, he didn’t know, but Seun could tell after using over twenty treasures.
The identity of the power you are using.
‘The Mammon treasure vault I am using is separate from Mammon’s real treasure vault.’
This was the conclusion Seun reached.
At first, I thought they were just allowing me to use the warehouse out of curiosity, but that wasn’t the case.
The reason Mammon didn’t block the warehouse was because he couldn’t stop it in the first place.
Seun realized this because of the nature of the power he was currently using.
‘The reason why I could only bring out power without bringing the substance.’
In other words, the warehouse that Seun is using is the warehouse that Mamon owned before his regression. After his regression, he lost his true form, and only his inherent power remained, which was absorbed into Seun as his authority.
This was the reason why Seun was able to stand up to Mamon’s threats.
– The constellation, ‘The Crow with its Head Down’, spreads its wings threateningly at your arrogant attitude.
Even so, it wasn’t good to be hated by Mamon.
Because in Seun’s camp, there were already many demon lords who were interested in people and were making contracts.
If Mammon gives the order to withdraw, even if they are the 72 Demon Lords, they cannot submit to the Demon God’s orders.
So, after Se-un obtained Durangdal, he took out a clever plan he had thought of to prepare for the current situation.
“It’s not that I won’t give it to you. It’s just that Durandal is the most powerful weapon I can use right now.”
– The constellation, ‘The Crow with its Head Down’, folds its spread wings and listens to your words.
“I understand that you have the power to mimic the power of an item.”
In fact, most of the treasures in Mamon’s treasure vault were ‘replicas’ made in that way.
then.
“So, while you imitate Durandal, I will lend you my Durandal.”
– The constellation nods its head, saying that although it is a pity that the ‘crow with its head bowed’ is there, it would not be bad if it could fill its own collection.
“instead.”
This is where it gets real.
In return for lending Durandal, what Seun wanted.
as soon as.
“Please open your ‘real warehouse’ to me.”
It was the right to use the real treasure vault that the existing Mammon possessed.
