Chapter 23
Heros Hunt (2)
The darkness everywhere was beginning to crumble, the skeletonsrose with noises of the devil crying from Hell.
Kuahahaha!
Because of the Undead, there was pitch ck darkness everywhere;they broke out after their death.
Be angry! On those who pushed you into the hell hole and becamethe cause for your death! And be grateful! Im presenting you with an opportunity to take revenge.
Kheahahah!
The response from the skeletonscame outreadily. Satisfied after gaining their absolute loyalty I nodded my head. Originally it was 20, but now it was 24, because of the magic wand 24 Undead can be summoned now.
Each of them was holding a good amount offirearmsandbombs, as a test I tried to move them.
Uhm, also.
As predicted their movement was very stiff and unnatural. Moreover, it seemed like since the level was still 1, the ability to summon Undeadwas limited.
This wasnt something that could be helped. Later on, I will move on step by step towards summoninga Death Knight.
First, since the summoning was still in the first level, apart from skeletonsitsonly possible to summon zombies while other types of Undead were still limited. The stamina cost for zombies is much greater than skeletons. While zombies have poor attack capability, they were a veryversatile weapon.
I was curious to know how much I needed to level up the Summon Undead spell to achieve that ability. Without more detailed exnations, I wanted to experiment and see where the limit is.
Soldiers, warriors of death, stand before your master!
At this 24 zombies answered my call.
kuhahahah-.
The zombies wereing out from the ground noisily just like what can be seen in the movies.
Euk!
Because I summoned 48 creatures my head felt heavy and dizzy. Everything in the front looked blurry and unclear. It was pretty hard to summon 48 creatures because of the low proficiency rate at the moment. Yet, I wanted to squeeze out more.
In order to win the world, I had to change myself by making my heart hard. If I continue on atthis level, Ill be defeated in a moment.
Soldiers, warriors of death, stand up in front of your Master!
Khuuuung!
Once again ck smoke rose up and this time 14 skeletonsrose up. And the bodies of a dog came up along with the skeleton soldiers and one zombie came out. That guy looked cute so I named him as Sam.
Ging Ging!
Not sure why, it seemed like it had a pitiful life. It looked cute as it went after a bone that I threw. By now there were, in total, 60 zombies and skeletons around me.
Wobble.
My nose began to bleed. Rightnow, the numbers were still limited.
He! Heeeing!
At that time Filly came over and seeing the undead shefelt a little uneasy and restless.
Filly, Its alright. They wont hurt you.
When I was patting the neck of Filly something felt a little weird.
Why doI not see any marauders?
Usually after the end of any battle, there will be a massive looting of the opponents supplies and equipment that follows. Everyone is going to take a bite from here, there are things that are still untouched in the battle field.
The level of the army is 2, these were worth looting. By a local residents, or those who specializes in these kind of things.
But I couldnt see anyone anywhere and Filly was panicking. If this wasnt a practice exercise this doesnt seem right, I dont like this kind of situation.
This was a question of, What went wrong?based on the long experience that Ive got.
Hmm.
I wonder if I should getthe skeletons to scout around, but at that momentakung! kung! sound started to ring. And from beyond the hills, something huge came out.
Ugh!
Being in a state of surprise I almostdroppedthe wand that was in my hand. It was the head of the gigantic dragon that showed his most evil face.
To be precise, it wasnt a dragon, it was a sub-species of dragon called a Drake. It looked simr to a wingless dragon that is covered with brown scales. With humongous weight that is ten times more than an elephant.
It was different from an actual dragon, it is ipetent and stupid, but thanks to its excellent size and solid scales, itwas simr to that of a huge thug. Once he passed a vige, nothing remained over there.
It hase to eat the dead bodies.
Now I know why Im not able to see any predators. It wasnt that they havente. It could be that they were either kicked away or eaten. As he was moving forward he looked at the undead creatures with curiosity filled greedy eyes.
This wont work.
I should quicklymand my undead army.
Comrades! Get up! Rise! Get ready to attack!
The skeletons and zombies instinctively began to move. And I quickly got onto Filly and started moving behind them. amander is basically a person who onlymands.
It was possible to create a bufferwith the use of skeletons and zombies, when I used the undead army on the Drake, I wasnt sure how well they would hold onto it.
But at that time a system message popped up.
[You have gained the leadership for the Undead, and a new skill for those who have neither blood nor death.]
What? Is it because Ive been working on themanding power of the Undead? After I read the skill, my ability tomand the army of the Undead rose high. Firstly, leadersmanding level for the Undead rose to 1.
[The Undead inside 100 meters vitality +10% , defense +10%, attack +5% has been gained.]
Kheeuk! Khuae!
The army of Undead upon receiving the new strength were excited and roared. They set up theirposition and aimed their muskets toward the direction thnd Drake wasing from. At that moment, thnd Drake came out making a kung kung sound.
Commence the gun fire!
Dhadadadang! Dhadadang! Dhang!
My soldiers let out their gun fire. Yet, the gunshots from the musket gun didnt even get through the hard brown scales of thend Drake. He just epted them.
Whoop! Kwaahahahng!
The result came out in just a moment. The skeletons shatteredlikewooden sticks. The overwhelming disaster in front of me didnt seem so meaningful to me. I, who was looking at this intently, felt sick.
Aahhhh..
Everything seemed to happen slowly in my eyes. Countless bones were broken down and scattered everywhere. They werepleted annihted.
Thend Drake which is 10 times the weight of a elephant and 15 meters in the length destroyed my poor little Undead more powerfully than dumping something into a dump truck.
Khuaaang!
A tail that was as thick as three necks hits the Undead soldiers who were left, which made them fly towards the sky.
No way! Sam!
Sam was thest one that came out. I lost all of my men in a sh.
Trembling trembling!
This hatefulnd Drake creature will never be a member of the dragon race, that was what I thought in my mind but my body stayed still. Poor Sam flew away as a fragment and then ran away.
Ohe on! Come on!
Thend Drake smashed my army in one stroke, and sat down and started munching down on the dead bodies.
Edk! Odk! Ohdudhk!
It was eating very deliciously.
That, that! Mother f*cker!
Does the Undead recall have no use in front of the wrath of the nature? But then, at that moment I looked at the stats window.
[You are capable of essingthe 2<sup>nd</sup>stage of summoning the Undead! Consume skill points.]
Oh? 2<sup>nd</sup>stage already?
For the S ss skill experience it is almost impossible to raise it thisfortably. To use it directly certain conditions must be met. So it is not easy to levelS ss skills.
Fortunately, skill points can be collected without using them. Immediately the level of summoning Undead rose to 2.
[Congrattions! The summoning ability of the Undead has goneup to 2<sup>nd</sup>stage. It is possible to summon skeleton warriors, poison zombies, and the shadows!]
Nice, new Undead creatures can be called. There was a burning sensation inside which wanted to go against thend Drake one more time. I ran to theright ce. The battlefield was very wide and there were bodies everywhere.
Soldiers who have died in the battlefield, stand up in front of your Master!
It was three times more than the previous summoning.
Due tothe 2<sup>nd</sup>stage of the Undead summoning capability being huge, 70 units rose up. More could be summoned too.
The skeleton warrior who was ofthe2nd stage is much more agile and stronger than the skeleton of the first stage. It could do quite a lot of things that the body could do in itsprevious lifetime.
From the poison zombies body there was an organ that let it spread poison just like the ones in the movies. This one is a great guy who can make a great deal of damage by sticking it in when fighting other humans.
The shadows strength is a little weak, but it was capable of hiding, being invisible or scouting/tracking someone. It also does not die easily because it negates physical attacks with a certain probability.
Nice! My army! Go and subjugate that creature, the Land Drake!
Kheeeuk! Kheeah!
Its worth a considerable amount of work. I summoned 70 units ofundead and they were marching alongside the shoulder in a disgraceful manner. And thend Drake once again got onto his feat.
Die!
With mymand, the body of thend Drake answered me back.
Kuahhhhhhh! Keahhhhhh! Khuahhhhng!
It was like a bomb fell on the ground, that was the sound of thend Drakes head against the ground. It was as if a giant block of iron fell.
No, No way. The white color on the floor.. are they my skeleton warriors?
Everyone is in a powdered state.
Water was forming in my eyes. I may bea person without blood and tear, but today blood and tears were flowing.
Though I have tried my best it wasnt so effective. Out of the summoned skeleton warriors, one of them managed to pierce thend Drake between its scales and make it bleed, but it was annihted more quickly due to its nature. This time also I ran away from battle ground Burinake. I was grateful that Filly could fly fast.
Hh..
When I reached this ce I felt like crying. All 70 unitsof Undead were strong and powerful. Yet all of them were flown away like soybean flour. My heart is broken and the my breath stopped.
I, I feel like eating sweet potatoes. Save, save me
However, there is no way I can back off. I looked at the stats window once again.
[The summoning ability of the Undead has gone up to 3<sup>rd</sup>stage! Consume skill points.]
It went high. I reached the summoning ability of 3<sup>rd</sup>level.
[Congrattions! The summoning ability has reached the3<sup>rd</sup>level. The burning ughterer, undead spider, and ghost creatures can be summoned.]
3<sup>rd</sup>stage already? Though I was happy, it felt like it was going forward too quickly. These didnt seem like simple summons. Being concerned over it I intertwined my fingers.
I know!
This gavebat experience and strength, the proficiency level might have gone up sharply. The strongnd Drake was, by itself, a precious experience.
Wait? I was thinking like this but isnt this a great thing? There are bodies around, the target does not die even when it is hit. Where will I find an opponent which will give such good training in this whole world?
At this moment my heart felt light. What ambassador Won Hyo said was right. My heart was prepared for everything.
If it wasnt for thatnd Drake would I have reached the 3<sup>rd</sup>level of summon undead? I am satisfied with the level of upgrade that Undead got. Since the darkness wascking, I took out the crystal of darkness from the magic zipper.
This was also something that Walpurgis gave, a bag withrge quantities of goods, this needs to be consumed to restore.
Phajik!
As the gauntlet broke, a dark aura bloomed out and got sucked into my mouth. And suddenly strength started to grow in my body.
[Darkness + 500 recovered.]
Im going to kill you. Land Drake.
The battle was in vain before, but itll be different this time. The burning ughterer is really a strong one. The undead spider is definitely well known for it wickedness. These guys attack with strong acid from their teeth and their tails. Versatile indeed.
Lastly the ghost, is much stronger than the shadow. Able to negate the physical attacks and deals out unique cold damage.
The three upgraded levels are all strong.
Soldiers of death, warriors, stand before your Master!
This time 100 unitscame out.
The burning ughterers 50 units
The Undead spider 30 units
Ghosts 20 units.
Kheuaaaakk! Krk!
As soon as they came out they started to scream from their mouths. However, I wasnt smiling this time. If anyone could look at me now, I was afraid of being a champion of evil that could not hold the madness ofughter while shedding blood.
Lets go! Kids!
This time it was going to be a revenge. My undead 100 units were all dressed in the ck and were marching forward. It was the sight of a loser.
If I have these guys, it means I have the whole world. I headed towards the Drake immediately. I am not going to miss the dragon heart, if I get its strength, my magic will soar. Greed started to rise in my heart.
Nice! Beat!!!
The third battle against thend Drake willmence.
