Necro Master

Dispute Region

“Status window.”

Karma obtained by defeating guards. To this was added 30,000 karma as a reward. Thanks to this, the amount of karma we had was:

[Karma Owns: 36,000]

Loyalty decided as soon as I saw how much Karma was gathering.

‘Karma gained this time is all about skills. ’

As you climb the rank of summoning skeletons, you can see how their A rank skills change. Perhaps other skills will change when you rank up. Loyalty immediately told the system.

“Raises the skill rank of Life Drain and Corpse Explosion. ”

The life drain is 15,000 karma. The corpse explosion required 14,000 karma. Because of this, a total of 29,000 karmas were consumed at once.

[Consume 29,000 Carma.]

[Karma Owns: 7,000]

[Your ‘Life Drain’ skill will rank up to A rank.]

How did life drain rank change as it rose? After a while, the loyalty could be seen. The life drain became rank A, and there was one great feature attached to it.

[Life Drain - A Rank: Designates a target to take health and restore itself. I can use it without physical contact. However, if the distance to the target exceeds 6.5m, it cannot be used. If you move rough, the skill will not be canceled if the distance to the target remains constant. (120,000 karma required for rank 9) (Cooldown: 20 sec)]

The distance to the target increased to 6.5m. 50 cm was added as compared to before. But it didn't end there.

"If the distance is maintained, the skill is not cancelled?" ’

Of course, there was a waiting time for reuse.

‘But you can't think of it as long. It's only 20 seconds.’

Absorbs HP with only one target. Moreover, while absorbing vitality, the cooldown of skills will continue to decrease. Then the practical cooldown was shortly.

‘However, even if you move rough, the skill will not be cancelled.... ’

This was amazing. To be honest with you, it's been hard to move from where you are to keep your life drain. What happens when you move?

‘Skill is canceled. ’

However, it seemed that no matter how far the distance was kept, it could not be undone. This enabled active movements that had never been seen before when the battle broke out.

‘As expected, your skills have been growing explosively since rank A. ’

I changed to rank A, but I didn't know how I would change if I went up to rank 9. It took a lot of karma to become rank 9.

As I examined the upgraded Life Drain, this time it followed the description of the corpse explosion.

[The skill ‘Corpse Explosion’ ranks up to A rank.]

However, unlike the Skeleton Summon Skill and the Life Drain, there was little cooldown.

[From now on, if you use the 'Corpse Explosion’ skill, it will no longer be powerless.]

[The skill ‘Corpse Explosion’ has a cooldown of 3 minutes.]

Looks like the cooldown's a little long. ’

In a way, it wasn't that long a time. It's only been three minutes. It seemed like a long time compared to other skills. However, there was a reason for the wait time compared to other skills. It was because there was a change that was unexpected.

[Add ‘Bombardier’ to the 'Corpse Explosion' skill.]

[Bomber: Can add Bomber to one of the registered bottles. An undead that can detonate a corpse from a bottle with additional Bomber capability.]

Bombardier function! ’

Life Drain was amazing. But this was even bigger. To be honest, the corpse bombing skill was a slightly burdensome skill for normal use. It wasn't easy to procure a corpse, and that's why it was mostly a one-handed skill for hunting things like boss monsters.

Of course, you can still use it as a one-way skill to hunt boss monsters in the future. However, if the Bombardier function was applied, it could be used as a normal hunt without too much pressure.

‘I don't have to worry about the body being consumed. ’

The battlefield where there are many corpses is fine, but now it can be used as much as it wants in a battlefield where there are no corpses.

While the loyalty was surprised about the bomber's function, the system bites.

[Which type of disease do you want to add the Bombardier to?]

[Eligible Soldiers: Infantry, Dark Priest, Wizard, Knight.]

He replied as if loyalty to the system's questions was natural. It had to be applied to infantry in order to be applied. The quantity is also quantity, but the skeletons of other professionals were damaged if you blow them up.

“Apply to infantry. ”

[Do you want to add bomber functionality to "Infantry"?]

[Once you've made your decision, you can't change it.]

“Uh, apply to infantry. ”

[Adds "Bombardier" to the "Infantry" unit.]

At the end of the system's words, a description of the corpse explosion skill appears.

[Corpse Explosion - Rank A: Explode a nearby corpse. The more corpses there are, the greater the power. Only the infantry can use the corpse explosion among the summoned undead. (110,000 Carma required up to rank 9) (Cooldown: 3 min)]

I was relieved that I got the corpse blasted to A-rank. Particularly, the biggest change is that they are now completely free from exhaustion due to the use of skills. Of course, new skills would change the story, but every time I used a skill in the future, I wouldn't have to slumber my heart.

* * *

While loyalty raised the rank of skills, persecution also ended Karma's consumption. He opens his mouth in shock.

“Your skills have changed tremendously since you became a rank A. ”

His words give you a nod.

‘He's growing fast, too. It's already A rank.’

Of course, if you don't level up first, it wasn't difficult to raise the skill to rank A. I was on the easy side. Every time the level went up, it took a lot of karma.

I consumed karma somehow or happily. But there was one problem. It was a state of loyalty.

"By the way, aren't you given a break? I'm a little nervous about the undead right now. ’

The persecution was also concerned about the condition of such loyalty.

“But hey. You okay? You look pretty serious. ”

I had no choice but to see the persecution. Loyalty was like a rotting corpse. Loyalty answered his concerns.

“I'm fine.”

In response, the persecutor nods and shuts up. You may have a lot of questions, but you don't seem to want to ask.

After each other's repairs, however, the system explained the following areas: I didn't seem to have any rest at the moment. Rest time was given later.

[If you move on to the next area, you will be given a short break.]

[Let's start with a description of where you'll go next.]

Due to this, loyalty began to listen to the system's explanation.

[Many races and characters live in Helios.]

[In addition, their conflict is constantly going on.]

[The next place to go is one of the disputed areas.]

one of the disputed areas. Where are we going to go to the conflict zone? There wouldn't have been an easy place. Moreover, I am now participating as an apprentice, away from being a beginner. So you will go to the harshest place that suits you.

[If you are going to a Conflict Zone, you can choose one Faction from several Factions.]

[You will then join the dispute in the selected faction.]

‘Maybe the camp can choose. ’

I didn't know which faction I could choose.

‘Well, you'll see. ’

While thinking that, the system asked loyalty.

[Would you like to go with the challenger 'persecution day’ to the next region?]

[If you go along, 'persecution day’ will be your exclusive assistant.]

The loyalty to the question of the system looked at the persecution. And he said,

“I will definitely support you to the next area. Do as you please. ”

I opened my mouth to the answer of the persecution. Dispute area to go to. If only one hand were added, it would be better than doing it alone.

“System, did you hear that? I'll go with you.”

The system replied to the words of loyalty.

[Yes, sir.]

[Let me take you to the Neutral Zone of the Conflicted Zone.]

In closing, loyalty and waves disappeared from the Operations Conference Room.

* * *

The vision that had been blacked out for a while was quickly restored. The place to move was an inn in the Neutral Zone. Loyalty and tide are the first floor of such an inn. I arrived at a place where a lot of tables were placed. The size of the inn was approximately 40 square feet.

There were challengers sitting around the table, eating or talking. There were a lot of them.

“Yuck, the inn's food is perfect whenever you eat it. ”

“It's even better because it's free. ”

“But where are you going to go? ”

“Let's go to a place that promises a good reward. We don't have any gravestones here, so we should be careful. ”

“After all, if our factions were different, we'd be fighting our enemies. ”

“Yes. I can't help it then. ”

“Huhu. If you encounter an enemy, be prepared. ”

Challengers seem to have gained some information even without the tombstone. As he looked around at the challengers around him, loyalty entered the system's voice. The information they obtained was included in the information the system provided.

[The disputed area where you came is where Medusa of the Naga Kingdom, Leo of Skeletons, and Selafiel of the Sacred Hall are in conflict.]

[They've been fighting over this side for the past few months.]

For the past few months? There have been conflicts for quite a long time.

[In 12 hours, the envoys from each faction will come to the inn.]

[You can listen to their introduction and choose the faction you want.]

[They will promise you a reward to bring you in.]

[Once a Faction is selected, it cannot leave the conflict region until the selected Faction wins or loses.]

I suddenly had a question. If we win, of course we will survive, but if we lose, what will happen?

“Systems. What happens if the chosen faction is defeated and I survive?" Are you dying? ”

The system answered the question of loyalty.

[Don't die. If your life depended on it, regardless of your faction's victory or loss, you can leave the conflict area after the conflict ends.]

Surprisingly. I can't believe I lost and survived.

“I see.”

Then, regardless of winning or losing, all you have to do is act well. Your life depends on how you behave.

“That's why the atmosphere of the challengers is not bad. ”

I felt like I was trying to be friendly on purpose. If you meet an enemy, he will do it to save your life.

These were all skilled men who finished the Ascendance Battle. They are aware that they have to do this to increase their chances of survival. Everyone knew it was foolish to take a useless grudge.

Of course, challengers didn't care much about friendship or loyalty. He was a loyal person who wanted to take care of himself a little more than he cared about others.

‘I only have 12 hours to rest, by the way. ’

Perhaps loyalty and Tidal Wave were the challengers who arrived late. So you only have 12 hours.

‘I need a little rest first. ’

We can't stay in the undead. I had to save one more life.
