Damn Necromancer Chapter 33

Damn Necromancer (33)

Apprentice (3)

‘… … ‘I was complacent.’

Elise sighed.

It was definitely as the person named Kim Min-woo said.

The price of life is heavy for everyone.

Since he offered such a poor price for his life, it was no surprise to hear bitter criticism.

What he offered in return for help was also reasonable.

The fruit of the mother tree?

For elves, it is a treasure.

But everything is relative.

The mother tree collapses like this, and the mother tree is protected by giving fruit. There was no need to say which of the two was important.

Potions were like that too.

Once protected, consumption will drastically decrease compared to now.

It’s just giving it to the resistance.

Elise looked at Minwoo Kim.

In front of the skeleton, I could see him diligently putting something together.

“… … What are you doing?”

“Summons are being strengthened.”

“Reinforcement?”

“yes. Can you see the bones here?”

“Isn’t that the leg bone of a cockatrice?”

“you’re right. If I replace it with this guy’s leg like this… … .”

[Use Bone Exchange (B)!]

[Replace ‘Cedric’s’ leg bones with Cockatrice’s leg bones!]

[The level of the material is much higher than your level.]

[Probability of success: 12%]

[Do you want to try?]

Nod.

[great success!]

[The bones are transformed to match Cedric’s body type and race!]

[Cedric’s strength, agility, and stamina increase by 10!]

[*Big success special effect: movement speed +10%]

[Remaining Capacity (20/75)]

Cedric’s leg bones became thicker and harder.

“It goes something like this.”

“How amazing. If you try, are you sure to succeed?”

“It can’t be. “I think I replaced almost 200 leg bones.”

“… … “Is the probability that low?”

“no. It’s not that bad, but if I just succeed, the effect is a bit boring. “There is a separate jackpot effect.”

I figured it out the first time I tried it a few times with a regular skull.

Success and great success.

There was some difference between the two.

Success just takes up a lot of capacity.

There were no special effects.

On the other hand, what about jackpots?

Consumes less capacity.

‘Success was 25.’

The jackpot is 20.

Capacity was reduced by 5.

But the effect is much better.

“Cedric, how are you?”

-Master, it seems like you have gained a very good skill.

Cedric, who was moving his legs, said with a slap.

The efficacy was definitely felt.

All abilities except magical power have increased by 10.

In addition, the movement speed was increased by 10% as a huge success special effect.

‘It’s a really crazy skill.’

The effect was great.

This was especially true when using the bones of high-level monsters.

Cockatrice was a monster well over level 200.

Naturally, the bones will be overwhelmingly harder than the skeleton’s basic body.

Moreover, they used the legs, which are the most representative part of this monster.

If you hit the jackpot, it was truly a jackpot.

‘Of course, there are drawbacks… … .’

The probability of success decreased significantly as the bones of high-level monsters increased.

The probability of jackpot success is almost 1%.

To replace Cedric’s leg bones, I used up all the bones from the group of cockatrices I hunted last time.

To use it properly… … .

‘The money will be ruined like hell.’

When monsters die, they leave behind corpses and by-products.

These by-products were of various types, including important parts of monsters, items, magic stones, and skill books.

Usually, they return with only by-products.

This was because it was heavy and had limitations in carrying capacity.

To add to that, it’s just about dismantling the parts that make money.

This was the case for most, except for some high-value monsters.

The problem was that bones were not usually a high-value product.

Except for some monsters, it wasn’t an item that was brought out out of nowhere.

Even if you scrape it off at the auction house, the amount will not be much.

conclusion.

We need to give the awakened people a reason to bring the bones.

‘I guess I’ll have to pay the bone bounty, right?’

It seems like it will probably be broken in trillions… … .

‘But I still have to do it.’

I don’t know anything else.

But one thing was certain.

First of all, Cedric must shower his entire body with great success with the best bones.

‘What about the rest… … .’

It was unclear whether it would be possible to do this with all of the more than a thousand skeletons, even if dozens of trillions were broken.

I decided to think about it later.

Kim Min-woo’s gaze turned to the side.

He could see Elise continuing to stare at him.

“Do you have any business?”

“… … that is. I apologize for my rudeness last time. “I was definitely careless.”

“I already forgot everything.”

He said while shaking his head.

There was no need to react harshly to the person who apologized, or rather to the elf.

Elise sighed at those words and said.

“… … Do you see those elves over there?”

“yes.”

“It quieted down the complaints, but honestly, it’s a temporary measure. “If you go to a village, the elders will probably start by raising you.”

“So you can’t keep your promise?”

“no!”

She shook her head hastily.

“I am the forest keeper of Mother Tree. I have the power to keep my promises. “I just don’t want you to worry too much about the other elves’ reactions.”

“Elise seems a little different from other elves. “It seems a bit realistic.”

“… … Even if it were me, it would be no different. It seems like I was complacent… … .”

“It’s okay if you reflect on it. “He’s a great elf just because he knows how to do that.”

By the way, is there even a word called Canf? That’s because the elves’ personalities were so damn perfect.

Elise’s ears turned slightly red from the continuous piggybacking. I think this is enough carrots.

“Elise.”

“yes.”

“Even if I can tolerate everything else, I don’t think I can tolerate these three things.”

“What are those three things?”

“first. Disparaging the sacrifices of the Orcs. second. Not educating dreamers sincerely. third. Not keeping promises. If I see any of these three… … .”

“… … “What if you see it?”

“I use a bit of a knife. Sometimes just swinging is the shortcut.”

“… … .”

Elf elder and all.

Doesn’t just hearing it remind you of rotten water?

In a situation where clearing was the goal, there was no time to get caught up in those guys.

I looked at her with a grin.

“I believe you understand.”

“… … “I will be careful.”

“The elf village will leave tomorrow. “Let’s get some rest.”

* * *

“Today we go to save the elves!”

―Chwiik! Save the ear!

―Chwiik! I’m going to drink the potion and get stronger!

He had already preached to the Orcs about the necessity of joining forces with the Elves.

Eat the potion and get stronger.

Use it to split the witch’s head.

Things like this.

Thankfully, there was no opposition.

“let’s go!”

More than two thousand orcs moved.

I’ve already heard about the troops attacking the elf village. With this much force, they could crush it.

‘It may be difficult to stop the news from spreading.’

The size of these guys was quite large.

It seemed like it would be difficult to stop all the escapees like in Elum.

‘I can’t help it.’

It’s not like you can move in stealth mode forever.

If the elf conquest army all die, it is normal for the apostle to notice something unless he is an asshole.

The majestic Orc army set out on a journey and arrived at their destination after 6 hours of marching.

An area with a huge forest.

It was the territory of the mother tree.

Elise and the group of elves moved first and entered there.

It was to deliver the strategy planned yesterday to the elves and move it organically.

Let me add one thing to that.

Perhaps it is also to explain what he personally warned me about yesterday.

‘I doubt I’ll eat it though.’

If the elves had reformed that much, they wouldn’t have even had the nickname Kanf in the first place.

Of course, not all elves have answers.

However, it was true that there were many elves among the beings for whom there was no answer.

In the distance, an army could be seen cutting down trees in the forest.

‘I started to turn and cut it.’

The Mother Tree’s territory was a very difficult area to attack.

Trees came alive and moved, obstructing the path, and plants would devour enemies.

There’s even an elf hiding in the forest and shooting arrows.

If the enemy commander has a brain, of course he won’t go in.

Usually, they would advance by setting fires or destroying trees from the outside.

The commander chose the latter.

‘It’s not easy to light a fire.’

Usually, the mother tree would block it by releasing moisture.

Only after it all evaporates does it catch fire.

‘We’ll have to supply corpses there too… … .’

Burnt corpses are non-recyclable waste. So, it would be like turning and cutting.

I already finished the story in advance. When the Orcs attack from behind, the Elves attack from the front.

-Oak! Oak!

The apostolic army turned around at the sound of hitting the floor.

Soon a commotion broke out.

A group of orcs appeared out of nowhere, so it would be understandable to be confused.

What do I need to say?

“Let’s kill them all! charge!”

A group of orcs rushed in.

* * *

The battle ended smoothly.

The enemy commander fled without even being able to properly counterattack the pincer attack, and his troops were scattered in all directions.

Of the nearly five hundred enemy troops, four hundred were killed. Of course, about four hundred orcs died in return, but considering the average level, it was a miraculous exchange price.

‘Thanks to you, I got a huge boost.’

From 75 to 85.

He hit a great last hit and increased his experience.

Considering that the experience required increases explosively as the level increases, the level up was close to the speed of light.

‘Well, it’s natural since we’re catching high level guys, but… … .’

The Apostle’s army was basically level 250 or higher. So the explosion wasn’t that strange.

Before long, a group of elves appeared between the trees.

The total number is about four hundred.

Elise was at the front, followed by the old elves.

Probably elders.

“Thank you for your help.”

Elise bows her head.

Haha, that’s the end of the story. Because originally, life was give and take.

“If you can help, of course you should. Then it’s time to get paid… … .”

“yes. “I have already delivered it to you.”

With Elise’s answer, a group of alchemists came forward.

The elves look at the skeletons with their ears pricked.

“… … “You mean we can teach those skeletons over there?”

“yes. Since it’s five hundred, I think it would be enough for each person to take twenty. Dwarves are also very satisfied with these equipment. “It will be rewarding to teach.”

The remaining five hundred were pounding hammers in the dwarven blacksmith shop.

This was because I had not learned production skills yet.

The alchemists nodded their heads one by one.

‘Well, a reaction like this is a noble thing.’

conflict! How dare an evil undead learn alchemy?

There’s just something about this reaction that isn’t there. Elise, who went first and spread the message, seemed to have put in a lot of effort.

As the skeletons learn alchemy, potions will be produced faster, so the first promise has been kept.

“Then I guess I should now receive some fruit from the mother tree…” … .”

at that time.

One of the elders who had been showing a sullen face earlier came forward.

“human. “Please wait a moment.”

“Do you have anything to say?”

“You’ve put up with a lot of things! In the first place, teaching alchemy to evil undead was surprising, but I understood even that. But fruits are different! That is a great treasure for us elves. “It is something that only a select group of our people can eat!”

“yes. So, I’m trying to get something in return. “If it wasn’t valuable, why would you have asked for it?”

“Don’t you think I’m asking for too much?”

This is not a question of intelligence.

It’s just a belief.

That way, you can confidently step forward even when you see a group of orcs behind you.

I looked at Elise.

She sighs.

I guess I wasn’t able to convince even the strict elders.

“If you object, is there a way to stop it?”

“Fruits can only be taken out if all elders agree.”

“okay. “I respect your beliefs.”

If you are this stubborn, it is right to applaud.

I nodded.

Suddenly!

The elf elder’s head fell off.

Still, he must have said everything he had to say and left.

He shook off the blade, swiped away the blood, and looked at the elders.

“Anyone else objecting?”

“… … .”

“If you don’t have it, I’ll take it.”

Since the dissenting votes disappeared, all votes were in favor.

It was time to take the fruit.
