How a Calamity Necromancer Retires

Park In-gwi was very displeased when he was first offered this operation by the Chinese government.

No matter how many summons there are, six SS-class members are mobilized to catch one Han Ji-hyeok.

However, Park In-gwi eventually accepted the operation because he had been cooperating with the Chinese government and taking considerable profits.

The operation went very smoothly.

The success or failure of this operation was how naturally Han Ji-hyeok was sent to the gate, but the operation was already successful at the point when Han Ji-hyeok obeyed so obediently.

So, it was Park In-gwi and the Awakeners who launched an attack with the idea of dealing with it quickly, but…

ping-!

A ray of black light fired like a laser from the tip of Han Ji-hyuk’s finger penetrates the stomach of the Awakener next to him.

“Ouch!”

The Awoken who knelt at the attack and vomited blood.

Han Ji-hyeok laughed and said.

“From now on, it will slowly rot away. Please tell me, I have to block it with my aura as much as possible to slow down the decay.”

Park In-gwi, who hurriedly delivered the response plan he heard from Han Ji-hyeok to the awakened person, looked at the surrounding situation and said with a despairing expression.

“Oh, how could this be?”

It is known that Han Ji-hyeok possesses a large-scale battle skeleton, including S-class summons, and that he himself has powers comparable to those of SS-class.

But even so, since they lent three S-classes to the Central African Republic, the S-classes would not exceed ten at most, and even if all other combat skeletons were combined, two SS-classes would be sufficient to cope, the Chinese government and the Awakeners judged.

That’s because the power gap between the SS class and other classes was enormous.

So, I thought it would be possible to handle it without difficulty with 4 SS ranks, with 2 people in charge of the combat skeleton and 2 people dealing with Han Ji-hyeok himself, but considering the unexpectedness Han Ji-hyeok had shown so far, 6 people were deployed. Upon opening it, the size of the skeleton for battle was far beyond what they had imagined.

The number of S-class skeletons, which were said to be less than 10, is 50, with only 20 bodyguards protecting Han Ji-hyeok and 30 S-class skeletons facing them.

Even with this much, it is already a figure that can deal with 4 to 5 SS-class people, but the bigger problem was Han Ji-hyeok’s own combat power.

Awakeners who are fatally injured whenever a black light flashes from Han Ji-hyeok’s hand while dealing with the swarming battle skeletons.

Park In-gwi said with a terrified expression.

“What kind of SS rank is this…”

Even if you have a summons without your body’s power, you can lightly take down a few SS-class people, and even Han Ji-hyeok, who has tremendous power.

This was clearly outside the standard.

At that time, a Chinese Awakener said with a terrified expression.

“My, I’ll go and ask for backup!”

The Awakener is an SS-class Awakener with the ability to fly that was mobilized in this operation to counter Ji-Hyeok Han who can fly.

“what!? Are you going to fall alone!?”

“If everyone dies like this, it’s dog death!”

Then, the awakening ability to fly soared into the sky.

Originally, the Awakener, who should have blocked Han Ji-hyeok in the sky, is trying to escape by using that ability.

“Wow. No, no.”

At that time, Han Ji-hyeok stretched out his hand and clenched his fist tightly, and a huge black energy spread out and enveloped the entire body of the Awakener who was ascending to the sky in an instant.

“Kuaaa!”

Then, smoke rises from the whole body of the Awoken captured by the black energy in the sky, and they are in pain.

“Where does the gift run away?”

Seeing such Han Ji-hyeok, Park In-gwi trembled and said,

“A gift… they keep calling us a gift.”

The moment he announced his intention to attack, Han Ji-hyeok’s reaction was not fear or alert, but joy.

and said

They call themselves a gift.

The first thing we can tell here is that Han Ji-hyeok has been waiting for them to attack him, and the second is…

“Could it be… to turn us into skeletons…?”

Park In-gwi, whose thoughts reached that point, trembled and said.

“Oh, no. I’d rather die if I die. I hate skeletons!”

He already knew enough information about Han Ji-hyeok’s skeleton.

A de facto puppet that moves as programmed by an algorithm.

But making such a puppet with your own body?

“Aww!”

Park In-gwi chose to run away by leaping into the air.

Seeing Park In-gwi like that, the other SSs start to scream and run away in all directions.

‘Follow the others! Another bastard!’

Park In-gwi, begging and begging, stepped on the skeleton’s head and kept running away.

But at that time, a subspace was created above Park In-gwi’s head, and the skeletons fell in a pile.

“Move!”

Park In-gwi, thinking it was a weak battle skeleton, swung his hand down and tried to strike it down.

However, isn’t it that he doesn’t get smashed in one hit by his own attack and sticks to it while enduring it?

Park In-gwi, who was surrounded and subdued by the S-class skeletons, said with a dazed expression.

“S… class? Could there be more S-class?”

At that time, Han Ji-hyeok’s voice was heard.

“It wasn’t that there were more, I collected what you were dealing with in subspace and then sprinkled it on top.”

“No, that’s nonsense.”

“What doesn’t make sense. Skeleton rearrangement mercenary using subspace is my main specialty. Anyway, end with this. Got them all.”

“Did you catch them all? already?”

Even though 2 people were killed, there were still 4 people left, and they already caught them all.

“Because there is nothing as easy as breaking each other. anyway.”

Han Ji-hyeok said, putting his hand on the head of the captured Park In-gwi.

“Can you explain what happened now?”

*

“It’s an E-class gate decorated with SS-class gates…”

Park In-gwi, who blew everything up in fear.

According to Park In-gwi, the Chinese government figured out that I was very interested in undead monsters and used that to plot this operation.

If I pretend to be killed by a monster at the SS-level gate, I can ease the burden of assassination.

So China put a large number of SS-class awakeners into the newly created E-class gate to wipe out all the monsters in a short period of time, and then transformed the Awoken with the ability to transform into skeletons, sacrificing a few of their own Awakeners who entered the gate unknowingly.

That’s how this operation was completed.

“There are two of them, so you have two shapeshifters?”

“There is only one transformation ability, and there is a teleportation ability next to it! The teleporter moved the shapeshifter and made them look like two! Both of them are SS class!”

“Could it be that they are two missing SS class members?”

“Yes, yes!”

“So you only sacrificed weak Awoken? Ugh. You bad boys.”

Park In-gwi nodded vigorously and said.

“you’re right! They are very bad guys! I have no choice but to be threatened by them…”

I slapped Park In-gwi on the back of the head and said.

“Don’t talk nonsense. Where is the country that threatens the SS class all over the world? Even if you gently coax, it won’t be enough. Anyway, the awakening ability is really amazing.”

Seron, who had highly developed magic, could teleport, but that was possible only when he used a large-scale magic circle using magic stones.

Because jumping over space isn’t easy in the first place.

So even when they summoned me, they said that the empire had invested enough to stumble, but that’s it, how easily an individual can teleport with someone else so easily.

“Anyway, so you’re saying that the other six people who came in don’t know about this operation?”

“yes. yes. Those six are the witnesses that will prove that the monster skeleton is real.”

So you’re saying it has nothing to do with the Chinese government, so you’re saying that 8 people, minus those 6, plus 2 people who are said to be missing and 1 team, are presents from China this time?

It’s salty.

The packaging is so fancy in China that these 8 people can eat the whole thing in one bite without any problem. It’s the perfect gift.

As they say, what’s the deal with 6 more people missing from an SS-class gate where 2 people have already gone missing?

Of course, the Chinese government, knowing the truth, will be angry with me, but what can I do?

However, with their mouths, in fact, it is not an SS-level gate, and they cannot disclose it now.

I said with a smile.

“Thank you, but I needed an SS rank. Say thank you… Ah. can’t you pass it on? Because skeletons can’t talk.”

Park In-gwi said with tears in his eyes.

“Please save me. Aren’t we compatriots!”

“I never had a compatriot who tried to kill me? You shouldn’t have been naturalized in Korea long ago. Then you might have been friends with me.”

“please. Then, even if you kill the skeleton…”

But then.

Flames rise from the body of an Awoken who was suppressed.

“Aww!”

The final push of the Awoken who had the ability to fire.

“Well, should I send you to a nice place now?”

I shot the collected morale like light and penetrated his head.

Of course, the Awakener who died in one shot.

Starting with that guy, I killed all the Awoken without getting hurt as much as possible.

I spoke to Park In-gwi, who was the only one alive and trembling in fear.

“You wait, because we need bait to lure out the other two missing people. do you know If you cooperate, I will not make a skeleton and just kill you.”

“Ugh…”

I gestured and dragged the corpses of five dead SS-class Awakeners in front of me.

“nice! SS class.”

To be honest, it was because I was so easily defeated. With 6 SS ranks, it was by no means a weak force.

The reason they suffered from me was because they were so ignorant about necromancers.

If it had been the demon king’s army who had fought with me countless times, he would never have challenged me like this.

Ironically, the best way to deal with the Necromancer’s quantity was quantity.

“I want you to attack me like this from now on.”

Necromancers, who have to judge everything by themselves, get distracted as they go into large-scale battles, and as it is a large-scale battle, the rate of loss of skeletons is enormous, so they are busy recovering it, so they can’t pay attention to other things.

That’s why the demon king’s main method was to mobilize a large army to push back my undead army, and select elite troops to attack me directly, aiming for an opportunity to deal with it.

Even the demon king’s army is like this, but these guys are only 6 people and I run away from a distance, so I have no choice but to end up being surrounded by my skeleton and wasting my strength.

If they responded by creating a siege using awakeners in thousands of units, it would have been much more difficult.

I said while handling the corpses to prevent fraud from escaping.

“see. How many artificial essences are left?”

The reason why he was able to mobilize dozens of S-class this time was because he confirmed the possibility of being an undead army and mass-produced S-class by mobilizing the S-class corpses and artificial essences he had collected so far.

Thanks to that, he consumed a large amount of the artificial essence he had collected so far, but there was still a little bit left.

“I think you can make about two of them?”

Shall we try making one?

I reached for the corpse of the Awoken who had the ability to fly.

“Corruption.”

Then, the blood and flesh of the awakened Chinese began to rot in an instant.

The reason why bones are mainly used to create undead is because the morale contained in bones is the most and is preserved for the longest time, but immediately after death, morale remains even in these blood and flesh.

So, the standard way is to rot it yourself, extract this fraud, and then use this fraud to make a skeleton.

I then took out the gold and silver, melted them down with magic, and immediately began carving magic circles into the remaining bones.

“Hee hee hee. exciting.”

It’s always exciting to turn my enemies into undead to fight for me.

Like that, I carved a magic circle all over my body with gold and silver and then injected magic power into it.

however.

“uh?”

what’s this.

When mana is administered, something strange that has never been felt before, either in Seron or on Earth, is felt inside the body of an Awakener.

Something similar to a magic circle, yet different and subtle.

“what?”

Are you seeing this for the first time?

Out of curiosity, I put my magic into something.

But then.

Isn’t the corpse of an Awakener suddenly floating in the air?

“The ability to fly?”

Does the ability remain in the corpse?

“This crazy.”

Since it was my first time making a skeleton with the corpse of an Awakener, I never dreamed that such a thing existed.

I said wriggling the corners of my mouth.

“Then the story will be different again.”

*

Park In-gwi watched in real-time as his colleague, who was alive just before, turned into a skeleton with only bones remaining.

But suddenly, isn’t that skeleton flying in the sky?

“Oh oh! If you move the magic within there, you can control it!”

The skeleton flying through the sky repeats going up and down.

As the flight was repeated, the skeleton began to fly more and more freely.

“Rain… ability to fly…”

Park In-gwi saw it and knew it right away.

That’s the ability that skeleton had while alive.

At that time, Han Ji-hyeok mumbled.

“Some kind of authority is imprinted on it, and it can only be used where that authority permits. Is this what people call awakening? In any case, even after death, the authority remains in the body. So if you make it into a skeleton, you can use it. It’s fun.”

I don’t know what Han Ji-hyeok was talking about, but one thing was certain.

Han Ji-hyeok makes the awakened person into a skeleton and can utilize the ability that the awakened person had while alive.

“Monster, monster…”

If Han Ji-hyeok continues to increase the number of SS-class awakeners, starting with 8 SS-class awakeners including herself, an individual with an unprecedented national level awakening power may be born.

Literally, a creature worthy of being called a monster.

At that time, Han Ji-hyeok turned his head toward Park In-gwi and said.

“Ingwi-ya.”

“yes. yes!”

“I don’t want to become a skeleton.”

“Yes, yes.”

“But what? Now that I’ve discovered something very interesting, it’s a situation where every single SS rank is regrettable.”

Park In-gwi put his head on the ground and said.

“please! It’s okay to die, so the skeleton…”

“hmm. Saying that makes me weak again. Like you said, we are compatriots.”

Park In-gwi, who was hopeful at Han Ji-hyeok’s words, spoke in an urgent voice.

“you’re right! Aren’t we all Koreans!”

“So, how about finding someone to replace you?”

“···yes?”

“You are probably not the only Awoken who cooperate with the Chinese government and do dirty things like this. China openly wants to kill me, but if I leave them alone, how can I stretch out my legs and sleep? You have to arrange it in advance.”

Han Ji-hyeok smiled and said.

“So, if you help me and lure them in, then a substitute will be created, so wouldn’t I just let you go? what do you think about it?”
