While performing, Marey occasionally check out Weed’s activities.
‘Just like the rumor, he fights really well.’
It was his assessment after the first battle.
When monsters made him into a target, he could evaluate Weed highly as he didn’t run about in confusion or hesitate to deal with the situation.
But his assessment kept changing after observing each battle.
‘The rumour was true that he is a God of War. He fights battles really well.’
………………..
‘My experiences is keep on rising? What short method does he use to speed up his experiences? No, when did he kill that many monsters?’
…………..
‘Is it even possible to make the Undead obey like meek sheep?’
Ever since he was a beginner, Weed’s stat was far high than others at his level.
Maintaining high skill proficiency and stacking up his stats, the disparity manifested.
The hunting speed especially surprised Marey constantly.
If many monsters were gathered, he commanded tactics to the Undead reminiscent of those found in military text books.
He made Death Knights ride ghost horses.
Weed led the Death knights directly, splitting enemies by penetrating their formation and then deploy the Undead units!
Skeleton unit’s concentrated firing, using the spell attributes to fire a circular magic attack.
He didn’t focus on one idea about battles but had all kinds of knowledge and experiences, using it naturally in battle.
Usually, one would only fight when they have tactical advantages but Weed would try many things to figure out must-win strategy and then fight fiercely.
There were battles that even Marey didn’t want to fight.
‘There is no way he can win this one.’
However Weed dragged his Undead units, showed excellent tactics and won. It was a superb battle that made congratulations come out automatically.
After supplementing his Undead units, he initiated fights with group of much bigger monsters.
‘This is really impossible.’
They lost many Undeads and Weed suffered seriously, but they won.
Fight and survive, finally winning and getting stronger.
It was a battle that naturally broke Marey’s common sense and his fixed ideas.
‘Okay, this much is now suicide.’
Group of much bigger monsters!
It was not like Marey did not have heart to stop Weed, but he also wanted to see how Weed would fight so he continued to follow along.
After a battle that took over a day, Weed suffered unbelievable hardship but grasped his victory.
Marey also helped, but it was an intense battle without compare that only 8 Death Knight survived, but they won.
After that battle, it felt to Marey that Weed was so awesome that he did not look human anymore.
Marey saw a lot of battles as a bard but no one ever fought to the brink, pushing everything aside.
Marey had to give his all to survive mobilizing all his abilities to endure, thereby they managed to win.
Not only did they obtain tons of drops, they were able to raise corpses into Undeads.
Weed recruited from Undead Legion and went back to the hunting ground with Death Knights that survived till the end.
Marey now knew the reason why Weed was so strong and received high praises from people.
‘This is why his so strong.’
With a force of 10, it was sensible thinking to fight an enemy with a force of 7.
But when Weed had 10, he fought 11, 12 or sometimes even 15.
With maximum focus, leadership and judgment that dragged Marey’s gazed to the point of making him forget his performance, Weed showed nimble movements and won.
The reason he was able to win 15 with 10, of course it could be because of his excellent decisions, but it was due to him fighting radically.
It was because they were fighting against bigger enemy that they could win.
‘Following Weed was truly the best judgement I made.’
Marey started to feel relief and a sympathy.
He felt sorry for Necromancers. He was convinced that if they were to compete with Weed in a quest, they would never be able to win.
____________________________________________________________________
- As a reward for this quest, you received the authority to command up to 8,000 Undeads.
Current position – Death Knight Commander
Weed’s rank rose many times, his equipment and rides changed as well.
An armour with demon attached, branded iron of a wanted man, boots of a desolator.
He obtained reward items that Death Knights could equip.
“Van Hawk would like this if I give him this later.”
He couldn’t summon Van Hawk or Torido.
They once were affiliated to Undead Legion and he could not estimate what could happen if he summoning them here.
“Come here.”
Kyaaaaak!
A horrible shriek was heard from the sky and gargoyles descended, sitting down on the ground.
Weed and Death Knights evolved their ghost horse and were now able to ride gargoyles made of bones.
Undeads were commanded to fight on the ground while the Death Knight scrambled in the air!
Even the Skeletons were elites, with at least 3~4 sword cuts on their skull.
“Hunting sure is fun.”
Marey was barely able to follow.
Composing and performing weren’t the only things bard did.
They adventured, enter dungeons and fought a fair amount of battles.
But following Weed he had eager thoughts for small breaks.
“This place is cleaned up. Let’s go.”
“Can’t we sit down for a short break before we go? We’ve been fighting for almost two days now.”
“I rested plenty just now.”
“When?!”
“I yawned twice.”
If this was a break than did this mean that the nap that workers took briefly during lunchtime was a vacation?!
“There could be monsters remaining in other places, we have no time to delay.”
Because Undeads have infinite stamina and didn’t need to eat, Weed lead them into endless amount of battles.
Fighting battles like this the Undeads developed and Marey felt that Weed’s unit were becoming stronger.
The Death Knights became extremely strong by fighting by the skin of their teeth and winning.
Level was a level, but surviving battles beyond their ability their combat capabilities increased exponentially.
With help of Death Knights the overall skills of Undead units were extraordinary and even if they were in a dangerous situation surrounded by monsters, they could withstand for a long time and their defence became extraordinary.
It was the Undead’s best units.
Suddenly, crows came to not only Weed but Marey and other players hunting on and over the canyons, and gave a small piece of paper they were biting on.
Another quest occurred.
· Monsters of Natalia plains
There are barely any groups of monsters large enough to challenge the Undead Legion in the vicinity.
The last remaining monsters joined forces and are heading toward the Natalia plains.
If you drive them back in four days, you will officially enter the Undead Legion’s encampment and will be able to meet the Balkan Demoph, the king of Undeads.
Also Death Knight can go one step further and qualify for the last promotion.
After four days the main force of the Undead Legion will mobilize and depart. After that day the quest cannot be cleared.
Difficulty: A
Reward: Promotion, Undead summon spells.
Quest Restriction: Undead Only
Limited Time.
Quest will not occur again.
A quest requiring a cooperation between Necromancers players.
It was the final request that need to be done before entering Undead Legion.
“Let’s head there right away.”
Weed and Marey led their Undeads and head straight toward the canyon.
The connection rate of Necromancers players were very high side.
“Hegigigig”
“My, my head, I don’t know if I was holding it with my left or right arm.”
“Undeads, line up, for the great Balkan-nim!”
As they were getting close to the canyon, they were able to see unbelievable amount of Undeads.
Among Necromancers, some preferred summoning small number of high rank Undeads to fight but the opposite was true most of the time.
It was safer to fight by throwing out curses and summoning Skeletons and Ghouls generously.
Each Necromancers players could lead from the smallest amount of hundreds, up to 2,000 of Undeads.
They summoned them directly or gathered roaming Undeads split from the Undead Legion.
To Marey it was a really hard scene to experience as there were every kind of Undead around them.
“At the least it must be about hundred thousand in number.”
Weed spotted skeletons laid down neatly like piled up bricks.
As the space was few they were using this method to save space like that.
“It looks like it’s more than that.”
Necromancers did not leave their summoned Undeads far from them so around the canyon was a world of Undeads.
But as Weed’s units came closer these Undeads, as one, step back far away from them.
The Death Knight, who surpassed life or death situations more than ten times, flared their miasma and the Skeletons, as if instilled by fear, were busy trying to hide.
Kyayaaaa!
Some portion of Death Knight that were part of Weed’s unit followed riding on their gargoyles as they flew in circles.
The sight of all Necromancer in the canyon was toward Weed as he made a majestic entrance as a Death Knight.
“What is that? Are that many Undead units led by those two men?”
Including Weed’s and Marey’s Undead there were about 9,600 Undeads.
Weed was able to have more than the quantity allowed by his rank because of his high leadership and charisma but for efficient control, he limited his capacity strictly.
But in the sight of the Necromancers that number felt extremely large to them.
“It’s really a lot.”
“There are plenty of Death Knights… and all variety of Dullahans and Skeletons prepared. It would not be wrong to call it a real Undead army.”
“If only we could command such an army… Should we have tried to promoted to a warrior-type class?”
Looking at Weed, many players regretted their past decisions.
They, not able to take their eyes off in jealousy, approached Weed and Marey.
“Hello.”
