Episode 296 How long has it been?
Name, family, friends and lovers… … . I don’t even remember where I was born and what kind of life I lived.
After a long and deep darkness, I suddenly came to my senses, and it was a forest.
‘Where is this place?’ The question only lasted for a moment.
Soon, he was captured by the monster’s instinct and started fighting aimlessly. He fought the humans he once was, and he also fought monsters.
An outstanding knight in his lifetime, he became stronger as he developed his magic power. He is the owner of the vast Black Forest, and even surpasses the black magician who controls all the dead in the forest.
– Hey, man! How dare you, Skeleton Knight!
– That ah. ah. ah. ah!
Slap!
The fallen knight became the new master of the Black Forest. And finally, I became the chosen one.
Commander of the Skeleton Corps. Skeleton Warlord was his new name.
‘Was it like this?’ It was amazing. Everything around him changed. For some reason, the magic flowing through the black forest grew thicker, and mighty power overflowed from his body, which was nothing but bones.
To him who had been reborn as such a new being, the small group of humans was insignificant.
‘They are few and everyone is terrified.’ For humans, death is another name for fear.
To him, who had already become a dead man, seeing humans like that was just ridiculous. ‘Run away. And bring me more, more lives!’ Now he was the master of the Black Forest and the commander of the dead.
The larger hordes of humans they bring will soon become their own forces. If he has thousands or tens of thousands of dead under his command… … They would not be satisfied with the territory of the Black Forest.
Only then will he be able to be reborn as a true monarch, not a commander of the dead.
‘I’ll get out of here and conquer a wider territory.’ It was then.
As he gazed at the 50 or so people running away without hesitation, a human entered his eyes.
‘That guy… … A human being surrounded by three Skeleton Knights and exchanging frenzied battles.
Strangely enough, unlike other humans who spoke strange language, I could understand every word that came out of his mouth.
“are you okay! Come on!” How did this happen? What a proficient magi language.
Are you a monster in human form?
He didn’t know the existence of the system applied to Jin Tae-kyung, and he didn’t even know about the function of the [Integrated Language Pack].
He just wanted to turn that guy who seemed useful for a human into a dead man and take it as his subordinate.
– uh. lee. three nine. me. person. liver. this. female.
But he should have known.
The foolish one was himself. – … … huh?
That I shouldn’t have brought all my troops into this narrow trail.
“You are all dead here. Well, that’s all you need to know.”
-what. go?
The answer to the question soon became known.
“One Island (一殲) Shaaaaa!
The moment the blue flames of the dragon sprang up, the Skeleton Warlord felt the overwhelming fear.
It’s a long forgotten feeling. It was the fear of death that had become a friend rather than an object of fear.
– what. two. blood. under??… ?!
Warlord’s words did not follow.
Blue flames engulfed him and hundreds of skeletons.
Loaaaaa!
* * * – All air power and stamina have been exhausted!
– I fell into the abnormal condition [Exhaustion]!
– [Lv92. Skeleton Knight] has been defeated!
– A significant amount of experience has been obtained!
– [Lv75. Defeated Skeleton Warrior!
– Acquired a small amount of experience!
– [Lv78. Skeleton Mage] has been defeated!
– A small amount of experience… … !
belt ring. belt ring. belt ring.
System notifications constantly piercing your ears.
In an instant, my eyes spun and my legs trembled.
I never thought the spear in my hand would feel so heavy.
I barely managed to drive the tipping spear blade into the ground to support my body.
Sibal, I’m going to die.’ Ilseom is the only and strongest skill I have. Using air power and stamina as raw materials, you can generate more explosive power than ever before.
Unlike the beginning, it was possible to control the power given as the level of martial arts increased, but the aftereffects were still severe.
‘A flash is as dangerous as its destructive power. You can’t survive long with the all-or-nothing mindset.’ It is best to achieve maximum results with minimum effort.
As someone who always pursues efficient combat, I couldn’t use Ilseom too much. Because the last move is the same as if you fail, there will be no next one.
But this time it was different.
‘Any time like this or another time.’ narrow trail. Hundreds of monsters tightly packed without gaps.
It was no different from a stage that made me write Ilseom. As a reward for putting all my effort into [Exhaustion], but… … Every action has a countermeasure.
belt ring.
– Genocide! Acquired huge experience points!
– Level up!
– Points earned!
– All status ailments have been restored!
At the same time as the notification I had been waiting for, a feeling of refreshment swept through my body.
Shaaaaa.
Due to the aftereffects of Ilseom, the empty danteon filled up, and strength returned to the trembling limbs.
Only then did the vision, which had been stained pure white, brighten and I was able to confirm the result of the island.
“Hey… … I expected it to some extent, but this is more than I expected?
My tongue hung out at the sight unfolding before my eyes.
Tack, hit.
The path doubled in width due to the power of the island.
The huge trees and rocks that filled the surroundings were uprooted, and on the scorched earth, a pile of bones engulfed in flames was slowly burning.
‘How many of them did you send into the goal at once?’ Still breathing, no. Since they are already dead undead monsters, I should correct them with moving ones. In any case, there were less than fifty of them. Even that was incapable of combat.
one… … Did you kill about 300 of them?’ I can see why the system even called it genocide.
Of course, compared to that grandiose choice of words, he gave me a small amount of experience.
“What is leveling up just once? Seriously.”
I clicked my tongue and started processing the remaining skeletons.
In the current situation where the amount of experience required to level up is increasing like a mountain, it is regrettable that each and every rubbish mob is a mountain.
– Kiki profit. gigg.
Kwajik!
He broke the skeleton of a skeleton that was crawling hard while losing both legs.
belt ring.
– [Lv73. Defeated Skeleton Warrior!
– Acquired a small amount of experience!
pestilence. Experience really sucks.
It was the time when I grumbled and turned my head to find the next monster.
“oh. Oh oh. Hopefully that… … !”
My eyes flashed open and a corner of my heart warmed.
With excitement, I approached the guy stuck in the dirt.
A trembling skeleton with only its neck remaining.
The green naturalized flower that had been burning like a torch shrank like a candle in front of the wind, but it was enough to identify its identity.
[Lv105. Skeleton Warlord]
I smiled broadly and waved my hand at her head.
“nice to meet. friend!”
“You were here! Then tell me beforehand, why did you stay quiet!”
– < Chick-gigg?
See this clever bastard pretending to be a Skeleton Warrior?
I raised the blade of my spear with a slightly disappointed look on my face.
“Ah, what is it? It was a trash mob. I just have to kill it.” – for a moment!
“omg. Are you talking?” – that. yes all. as soon as. grow.
The Skeleton Warlord opened his eyes and continued.
– Of the Black Forest. master. Twisting the dead. Commander. Warlord. this body is
“Wow! Warlord!” – Do you finally know me?
“and! Experience!” – … … What is it?
Feeling strange, the Warlord hurriedly continued.
– Are you going to kill this body?
this bastard… … . Look at how smooth his words are because he is in a hurry.
“Who dies? You are already dead.”
– This body can die, die, and die a hundred times over!
“… … Are you Jeong Mong-ju?”
Is he a single-minded person who has read a little?
As I stared blankly at it, the Warlord clicked his chin.
– Human. Why don’t you do business with me instead?
“transaction?”
– Yes. I can give you a lot
“Preemption.”
– You’re preemptive. What do you mean?
“Tell me what you can give me. Listen and decide.”
Warlord, who was silent for a moment as if lost in thought, answered.
– I am the ruler of the forest. I will present this vast black water to you!
“It belongs to the Black Forest.”
, huh?
“It doesn’t matter because I have a gate monopoly.”
– Gate monopoly. I don’t know what it is, but it would be much better to be the master of the forest!
“No. I think it’s much better to come and hunt sheep every time a monster regenerates.” – Mo, moose hunting!
“huh. I’m still thinking about sending one.” cringe
As he tightened his grip on the creature’s head, the Warlord shouted urgently, his chin shaking violently.
– for a moment! wait for a sec! I just heard a strange noise!
“Come to think of it, can a guy without a cochlea even hear sounds? – There is a crack on the top of the head!
“and! Earn experience points!” – Inom! This prince is the ruler of the Black Forest, the commander of the dead, ?… ?.
Hard!
– Ruler of the Black Forest! Lord of the dead. / Pray for mercy. / This bastard’s stance conversion speed is minimal.
It’s the first time I’ve had a conversation with a monster like this, so it feels very novel, but I should stop joking around at this point.
“Open inventory. Summon the dagger.”
sereung.
As I put the blue blade in front of my eyes, the Warlord asked in an anxious voice.
– What, what are you trying to do?
“huh? not a big deal. Close your eyes and stay still. It will be over soon.”
– No, it’s over. What do you mean?
“Uh huh, shh. Keep your jaw still. If even a bone is cut off, the market price will drop.”
The body of the Wyvern, Carus the One-Eyed, that I had previously killed was a lump of gold, but I don’t know which part of this skeleton is particularly expensive.
‘Still, wouldn’t it be expensive if it was a skull decoration for a named monster?
Even if it rots, it’s a cuttlefish, and the surface of the bone glistening with black gloss is quite pretty.
– for a moment! Please wait!
right! Follow me!
Oh, it’s noisy.
It was the time when he was trying to hold on to the warlord’s chin, which was constantly bobbing up and down.
– Go, experience! I’ll give you experience points!
“huh. I’m trying to get it right now, so would you stay still? And you don’t even know what experience points are.” – no! I’ll give it to you! I’ll somehow get my men to save it and give it to me!
“What bullshit. It’s not a thing… … I was about to speak, but I hesitated. It was because of the thoughts that ran through my head.
Could this be it?
“You said you were the owner of the Black Forest, right?”
– yes. yes yes!
“How many subordinates do you have?”
– entire! That’s it! It’s not right now, but you can muster over a thousand people if you go around the black water!
“A thousand people?”
– That’s a thousand at least! have you forgotten who i am?
“Skeleton Warlord.”
– Yes, there is no soldier who can disobey the commander. No sub-object dares to stand against me!
Hmm.”
– Even if you search all over the Black Forest, no matter if you overturn it, I will get you what you want!
I organized my thoughts while looking at the sad green eyes of the guy.
And the trouble didn’t last long.
“hey.”
– yes.
“You, let’s work together with me.”
– What kind of work…?
“There’s something like that. You just have to do what you’re told.” The warlord’s skull quivered at my insidious laughter.
