In this canyon co-operating with ot

In this canyon co-operating with others was key to successfully completing the quest, also the Necromancers need to be on the constant look out for corpses to raise up a first rate Undead.
Usually Necromancers tried their best to recruit any level of mercenaries, even low-level ones at a high price. Even so as Necromancers had bad reputations in general it was hard to recruit mercenaries.
They did this as if someone could fight for them in the front line it was a tremendous help to them.
It was same for Weed, with monsters swarming all over the canyon it was hard to block everywhere.

Though it was called a canyon, in terms of size it was only wide enough to allow seven chariots to pass at one time. And if he was to fight alone even after 24 hours of non-stop fighting, it would not be enough.
With the monsters also flinging arrows and stone at him, it was too much to handle alone.
“In the best interest of defending this canyon, I think it would be best to help each other. You never know what is going to happen next, so why not team up?”
Even Jeanne was saying her piece, so Weed could not refuse the offer.
“Alright.”
Deploying the Undead equally it was agree that Weed would fight freely just as before.
Necromancers weren’t fit for a party in the first place and this method allowed the best tactic considering the geographic features of the canyon.

“Uuhihihihih.”
Zabrin arrived at Kapua village equipped with items from the Hermes Guild.
“They sure have a lot of items.”
In Hermes Guild’s safe there were piles of rare and cursed items.
Zabrin was in a state where cursed items were useful so he picked the most effective ones.
A ring that reduces luck by 140 but protects the user against specters, armor that spreads rotten mephitis in a body, necklace that creates mana and strength by sacrificing health and a denture for skeletons!
It was too bad that he couldn’t take everything he wanted but these items for Undeads were truly excellent.
Zabrin managed to double his weak magic power.
Even the rod he was holding was an item specifically for Necromancers!
It made the summoned Undeads rough and fast while shortening their lifespan but in here where corpses were plentiful, it wan’t a problem.
‘Now it will be a bit easier.’
Joining the Hermes Guild was truly an excellent choice.
Siding with a guild of terrifying strength, power and authority came naturally.
Even after he was promoted to a ghost, Zabrin did not stop participating in quest using Undeads.
There were so many items he could get if he could just be qualified for it.

“Arrg!
Geomchi287 fell down on the ground.
“I lost again.”
The match that started with Geomchi505 continued on with higher ranking trainees participating but they continued to lose.
Sword Master Ash’s Sword-cloning skill!
Once it was activated, the player’s body multiplied up to 40 times.
It was hard to distinguish the real from the fake bodies, as the clones had mana and about 15% of the original’s strength.
It was a fantastic skill proving the reason for player’s eagerness to get a hold of the Sword Master’s skill.

Every time Ash won, he spoke.
“To master my skills, you need supreme swordsmanship. You have met the qualification. I shall teach you my Sword-cloning skill.”
It was an unbelievable offer.
Though they could not defeat Ash, they lasted a long time against him. With their combat response, instinct and weapon skill they met the qualification to learn the Sword-cloning skill.
Geomchis also respected the strong.
“If you will teach me I will learn it.”
No reason to refuse someone who was willing to teach a strong skill!


- You learned the Sword-cloning skill.


They didn’t have to fight seriously but the Geomchis wanted a fair fight.
Fighting with all their strength and skill a lot of time had passed.
Geomchi5 fought Ash evenly.
After a while of attacking the clones who had low life, he struck a direct hit on Ash.
Though he succeed slashing Ash with his sword, Ash’s unbelievable defense and life made barely a scratch.
However, Geomchi5 wasn’t an idiot that only touted his strength.
Before he became an instructor he spent all his teenage year fighting.
When he reached his twenties the fight became life or death battle so he knew how to fight well.
‘Damage the real one to weaken the clones.’
CLAAAAANG!
Geomchi5’s sword clashed with Ash’s blade and continued to slide down.
The moment the swords clashed and joined, he twisted his wrist in a split second and crushed Ash’s blade.
Not even a legendary sword’s durability would survive when a thick sword pressed passed it.
In reality, it would be fine as long as it was not completely broken but this was Royal Road.


- You reduced Ash’s sword durability by -4%
Ash’s attack is reduced by -11%


And then he pressed the attack!


- You have inflicted a critical strike.
