Chapter 5: The Loa Sword
Overturning the situation!
A necromancer received penalties such as a decrease in physical strength, but they had corpses that could be used as subordinates or to cause a powerful explosion.
"Grrrr."
"Kilkil!"
"I want to chew on flesh. Flesh!"
The skeletons rushed to the giants.
"Kukeeek!"
Skeletons climbed the bodies of the collapsed giants and struck down with a bone knife.
Ujijik!
The bone knife was broken.
"Kueek?"
The skeleton leaned down and grabbed another leg bone to hit the giant.
The giant's mighty health! A skeleton couldn't kill it but there was still damage.
"Fight. Bones!"
Weed even had skeleton archers and skeleton magicians who used ranged attacks.
Pushushuk.
They fired bone arrows and threw blue flames towards the giants.
"Kuooh!"
A blue light shone in the empty eyes of the undead created by Weed.
"Kuaah!"
A skeleton roared with an axe in each hand!
Many college students and scholars researched the various magics and effects in Royal Road. They used professional theories and mathematical formulas. There was a whole thesis filled with mathematical formulas that could make the general public fall asleep.
Summoning undead was particularly difficult since the geographical environment, monsters and necromancers' stats and magic skills needed to be taken into account. The body's capabilities and temperament would have a large and small effect on the undead summoning.
But the general consensus was 75% was skill level and stats, and 25% was the corpse's quality.
Of course, the body of a rabbit couldn't be used to make a dark knight or doom knight. It might be possible for a master necromancer but there were no users who reached this level!
It depended on the situation, but the quality of the corpse affected the undead by 1/4th.
The corpses of the northern users were excellent so there were fairly strong skeletons, with the occasional emergence of boss level undead.
"Master of the flesh! I want blood and slaughter!"
Even a boss level skeleton didn't do much damage to a giant!
"Calling Death Knight Van Hawk. Calling the Vampire Torido!"
Van Hawk and Torido appeared with a puff of black smoke.
They kneeled down politely.
"You finally walk down the road of the power of death. Master."
"I have responded to the summons of the great monarch."
The attitudes of Van Hawk and Torido, who had been summoned after a long time, was respectful. As a necromancer, his control over the undead had increased.
Weed unabashedly said to his subordinates.
"You guys will have plenty of work to do in the future. I will often be leading an undead legion."
Van Hawk, who used to be Commander of the Undead Legion, didn't conceal his expectations.
"Will you paint the Versailles Continent with death? Can the knights of death roam free?"
The madness of war and death!
Death Knight Van Hawk was filled with vitality.
Barkhan's powerful undead army nearly devoured the continent. Once Weed became a necromancer, the undead could sweep through the continent.
"No. That is hard and annoying. I just want to eat and live well as a necromancer."
"I thought being a desert warrior was cool and felt good but... It hurts when I think of the troops I brought up."
Hestiger, who became the strongest on the continent, was like eating ramyun.
"The continent... It needs to dip in death in order for you to become a great necromancer."
"I will reach the top of necromancy alone, while dragging the undead with me. And there is no need to dip in death. The Versailles Continent is a slaughterhouse. Especially in the Arpen Kingdom, there are complaints that people can't hunt because of the stench. The value of housing has fallen. It is absolutely prohibited to summon undead within a 1,000 kilometres radius of Puhol Water Park."
The Necromancer Guild in Morata was a disgusting facility that lowered house prices! In that regard, he hated a necromancer more than a sculptor!
The collapsed giants started to wake up so he stopped talking and used a skill.
"Strengthen Undead!"
-Death Knight Van Hawk's health has increased by 6%.
Attack power has increased by 4%. Movement speed is faster.
Strengthen Undead was a level one reinforcement skill!
Van Hawk's hollowed eyes became bright.
"What is this Master?"
"Now do your best."
"Creating weapons or armour would be better."
Weed could use basic undead reinforcement and equipment skills, but that wasn't much help at this time.
Van Hawk was the former commander of the Undead Legion, a boss level undead and he was previously an abyss knight.
Thanks to steady quests and hunting, Torido was also over level 500.
'It is easy to grow as a necromancer if I use these guys well.'
Weed decided firmly.
The hardships so far wouldn't be for nothing!
His goal was to eat well and live well alone!
"Lead the undead."
"Understood. Master. But the condition of the undead doesn't seem so good."
Van Hawk complained as he watched the skeletons. Van Hawk was a strong knight but if he led the undead, he could draw out their powers.
"Are there no death knights?"
"Eh."
"Dullahan?"
"Not yet."
"The troops I will lead are weak. And the enemy is too strong."
"You don't have to win the fight. Just lead the undead. Act as bait."
"Bait?"
"Take a long time. I will continue to raise the undead, even if they are broken."
