Necro Master

? Baloch

* * *

The loyalty of discovering Balock's presence in the Grand Mansion did not go that way. Except for the mansion, all the places inside the fortress were filled with pain.

Artadia, who was initially turned into a skeleton, has not changed since. It is because the speed at which the horde of loyalists hunted was so fast that it did not have to change.

Gargoyles were monsters with high defense power. Stone level skin was extremely defensive. But I didn't like the opponent this time. No matter how defensive you are, the undead of loyalty are just a sight for sore eyes.

[Durahan Devron has cut off Gargoyle's supply to Dark Welfare.]

[Learn 500 Karma.]

[Use the chaos punishment against this Gargoyle.]

[A chaotic punishment that combines the power of light and darkness will fall from the sky and strike Gargoyles.]

[Punished Gargoyles quiver and die.]

[Learn 500 Karma.]

In Daphne's case, the Gargoyles' supply was cut down too easily for Dark Welfare. Marek also killed Gargoyles with ease due to an attack involving the attributes of light.

Jeremy didn't hunt fast, but he did it one-on-one. He was colorfully aggressive in his job as a shield guard. Instead of defending yourself with the shield of death, you used the shield to engage in aggressive attack.

So was the battle you see now.

Gargoyles come down with a large sword, but Jeremy dodges aside lightly. He quickly dodged Gargoyle's sword and slapped Gargoyle's torso with his weight on his shield. Then the body of the Gargoyle is heavily charged with the shield of death.

Paan!

As a result, Gargoyles are slightly pushed. No matter how hard they slammed into the skeleton's body, they were forced to push. Jeremy lowers his stance toward the Gargoyle. Then you rush towards the lower half of the Gargoyle.

Boom!

Jeremy pushes off his leg with his shield, and his body gives way.

Gargoyles have already been pushed away once, and they don't have time to maintain their posture, so Jeremy has to fight.

Is that why? Gargoyle, who gave up his lower body, is finally on the verge of falling, and Jeremy doesn't miss his chance.

Jeremie lowers back up, knocking Gargoyle down. Then, the Gargoyle's body, which had not fallen, falls back. When Gargoyles fall, the ground rumbles loudly.

Kuang!

Jeremy climbed on top of him. Then, with the shield of death, he starts beating you restlessly. Towards his face. You feel the shield bounce off as you hit it, but Jeremy doesn't stop.

Paan!

Bang!

Taang!

Bam!

Bam! Bam! Bang, bang!

Gargoyle is distracted by the endless blast of the shield.

“Kuaak!”

I tried screaming to stop the attack, but Jeremy couldn't stop.

And after a while, the system came to light.

[Gargoyle's head grows stiff and dies.]

[You have learned 500 Karma.]

That way, even Jeremy. A whole group of loyalists are actively hunting monsters. Whenever Gargoyles appeared, they were drying out their seed.

* * *

How many did he hunt? It looks like you've wiped out an awful lot of Gargoyles. So the loyalty stopped hunting for a moment.

It was clear that the number of challengers who died here exceeded hundreds of units. It was because there were truly endless Gargoyles in the fortress.

But thanks to this, I was able to earn a huge karma.

How long have we been together? ’

The loyalty was checked by opening the status window.

[Karma Owns: 140,000]

Gathered enough to level up to 12. Or it could raise a skill to a higher rank. When summoning skeletons, they needed more karma, so they couldn't be uploaded yet.

If you rank up your skills, you can now rank up your skills by blowing up Life Drains and Corpses. There were two. I decided to rank my skills first, rather than level them.

‘It would be better to rank up your skills first. ’

If you rank your skills to rank 9, you will definitely see new features like summoning a Skeleton.

If so, the first choice for this moment was the Life Drain.

‘There is enough firepower for me to not have to take action now. ’

That's why I decided to detonate the body later. It was the right decision to focus on your own survival rather than on your own.

‘So the skill that needs to be promoted first is the Life Drain. ’

The sincere heart opened my mouth.

“System, rank up your life drain. ”

The system replied to the words of loyalty.

[120,000 Carma consumed.]

[Life Drain's Skill Rank increases to 9 Rank.]

As you move up the rank of your life drain, new features have been added as expected. However, the new features were not the only ones added. There are two additional functions.

[Life Drain has 2 more eligible targets.]

[The 'Automation' feature is added to the Life Drain.]

[Automation: If an enemy recognizes an existence within the applicable radius of the Life Drain, the skill is automatically used on the target.]

From now on, I was able to use the Life Drain for 2 people at once. Plus, I didn't have to shout out my skill name. Even if you gave them the distance to use the skill, the skill is now applied on its own.

That's not bad. ’

But it wasn't the end. Could it be because automation has been added to the skill? The cooldown that resulted from becoming rank A has disappeared again as it reappears to rank 9.

[Deletes the cooldown time for skills applied to the Life Drain.]

Other skills had an indefinite wait time for reuse. But not in the case of life drains.

‘It turned out to be a great skill. ’

Maybe not. I thought it would be okay to be completely naked and surrounded by enemies with a deadly blow.

Anyway, I looked at the contents of the changed life drain.

[Life Drain - Rank 9: Automatically steals the target's health from enemies. Up to two can be applied at the same time. However, if the distance to the target exceeds 6.5m, it cannot be used. Rough moves do not cancel the skill if the distance to the target remains constant (170,000 karma required for rank 8).]

It was time to rank up and examine the skill. Artadia said to the faithful:

“Vallock moves. His energy is moving somewhere. ”

Baloch moved?

I thought you were staying in the mansion. ’

I guess not.

Finally, the system has been informed.

[Baloch realized the importance of defense gear, which had previously been severely damaged by some challengers.]

[Baloch, who was asleep, woke up and started moving to the forge.]

[In a moment, Vallock wears new armor.]

‘Forge.’

Then there was a place marked as a forge nearby. It was closer than a mansion. Of course, jumping from here was more than 20 minutes away.

‘But we have to go there first. ’

If he wears defense gear, he may become more difficult to deal with. This is no time to hunt Gargoyles without a hitch.

‘Most of the Gargoyles in a decent location have been eliminated. ’

First, I thought I'd give him a ride before he put on some new defense gear.

‘It'll take time, by the way. ’

If we don't move quickly, we may reach the forge later than Balock. You can board the Hellhound and travel, but if you do, you can't burn everyone.

Even if you go to a minority and use the Summon Skill again in front of Balock, it is difficult to summon everyone because of the cooldown time. But there was no need to worry about moving.

Why? Artadia. Because she was there.

[Artadia transforms into a Bone Dragon.]

Artadia has once again turned into a Bone Dragon. She told all the undead, including her loyalty. Her voice as the Bone Dragon resounded in everyone's mind.

[Get in the car. We must get there before it gets too difficult to deal with him.]

* * *

It was time for the faithfulness and hordes to fly quickly aboard Artadia, which had been turned into Skeletons. Unfortunately, Balock has already arrived at the forge and is wearing a new piece of armor.

The beast, which was roughly seven to eight meters tall, looked like a black beast. A pair of big horns stood on the forehead of a giant beast.

He smiled as if he liked the armor made by the Dwarves.

“Hehehehe. You're a dwarf, right? I like it a lot. ”

However, the Dwarves in front of him had a very dark look on their faces.

“I haven't finished making it yet.... ”

I did. That armor was unfinished. However, he had already worn it, where he had been going.

“I'm happy with this. The guests are here. I want you to dress neatly and meet her. Huhu.”

Baloch made a promise to the dwarves. When you've finished making your armor, you'll let them go. Of course, he didn't say he would let me go alive. Even the Dwarves knew about it. Even if I make the right armor, I can't get out of his hands.

That's why I haven't planned it all along. So that even if you die, you can still inflict mortal damage on him. But the plan failed by half.

Especially the dwarf chieftain.

‘Dammit. If only I had a little more time...' ’

Then we should be able to apply the rune of the hidden explosion to Baloch's defense gear properly. However, I couldn't apply the runes properly because he suddenly asked me to give him my armor.

It's not easy to apply a rune to avoid the attention of Balock in front of your nose. At least it was applied roughly.

After all, Baloch was satisfied with the armor he was wearing, so he tried to get out of the forge. But before he left the forge, he freed the Dwarves from their chains.

“By the way, you have to keep your promise. I'm really good at keeping promises again. ”

Then Baloch frees the dwarves from their chains. The chains that restricted the movement of the dwarves are released in one fell swoop.

Iron Dough.

Huff.

But the reason for his release was simple.

Unchain them and you have nowhere to go. I'm confident I can catch him if he runs away. It was an exhibition.

Of course, the dwarf who knew this had no choice but to go there. Even if it makes me feel dirty.

‘Damn it.'

Baloch, who freed the dwarves from the chains, begins to move somewhere. He spread huge wings like bats behind his back and began to fly in the sky. As he makes his move, the dwarf chieftain looks at the two surviving tribesmen and opens his mouth.

“Let's go after him first. ”

Then one of the tribesmen replied.

“Why would you want to help people who are guests? ”

“Why do you ask? As long as Baloch is out on the road, there is a good chance that a strong human will visit again. The only way out of here is to help the Humans. ”

Then he was a dwarf chieftain ready to follow immediately. He speaks to the two tribesmen with a blacksmith's hammer in his hand, just working.

“What are you doing? Without the tools. ”
