- 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.
- You have slashed Ash’s chest.
- You have slashed Ash’s knee through his armour.
With Ash’s sword becoming dull, the clones weakened as well.
Geomchi5 proved that the Sword-cloning skill was not an almighty skill.
“You are truly an amazing swordsman. I would like to remember your name.”
“I am known as Geomchi5.”
DING!
- You have shown excellence in your duel against the Sword Master Ash.
Ø With an outstanding duel that would be enough to be recorded in the history of swordsmen, all combat related stats increase by 6.
Ø Fame increase by +5,800
Ø Proficiency in weapon skills have increased.
- Having fought Ash with lower rated weapons and armour, all stats will increase additionally by +3.
- Through the match you learned the swordsman skill, Sword cloning.
Geomchi4 inflicted critical strikes six times in a row.
Geomchi3 left a hole in Ash’s armor.
They chose different methods of reducing Ash’s life so they could take care of clones faster.
They all acknowledged Ash after their fight.
“That guy is really strong. No matter how many times I hit him, there is no mark.”
“Yes hyeognim. His stamina is endless.”
“Even without his skill, it would be hard to win against him one on one. Unless you level up 200 more times.”
Ash always managed to adjust his strength and fight them on an even level.
If he didn’t do so, they wouldn’t even be able to clash their swords with Ash.
“But I don’t think it will be impossible to beat him.”
Geomchi487 spoke after fighting Ash.
His sword and armor have become like rags.
It reached a point where the swordsman had to fight with his bare fists.
If all the Geomchi’s jump on Ash at the same time, no one could promise if Sword Master Ash could survive.
When hunting a high-level monster with a guild or party, it was obvious double up on the enemy.
All kinds of blessings and rear supports from clerics were compulsory.
But these Geomchis fought one by one fairly and were satisfied with it because their opponent was a swordsman.
“Well, we had a good time. Anyways, I think had enough rest. Let’s get back to swimming.”
Geomchis jumped into the sea to start swimming across to the Northern continent.
They received an ardent farewell.
They became really close enough to catch and eat fishes together.
“Farewell. Please you my skills to good use.”
“We won’t use our swords on those weaker than us.”
But they didn’t reveal what was going on their minds.
‘I need to beat this guy someday… But I don’t know where this is.’
‘Next time I am definetly going to kill you with my sword.’
____________________________________________________________
Co-operating with the other Necromancers, Weed was able to defend the canyon successfully for the eleventh time.
The contents of the quests kept changing bit by bit but the main objectives always remained the same, to defend the canyon.
‘The central station of Undead Legion is located behind here.’
By getting information from the quests, Weed was able to assume its whereabouts.
As reinforcements came sometimes from their central station of the Undead Legion.
Weed raised himself as a front line fighter ever since he was a skeleton.
That was why he didn’t have a high expectation for the Undeads.
But as battles continued, he was given underlings.
“Please give your command, lord!”
Every time he made received an achievements, nearby Death Knights, Dullahans and Skeletons were swearing their obedience to Weed.
With every successful quests, either his rank got promoted or he obtained a Death Knight.
“Hmm!”
Weed had zero attachment to his Undead underlings.
No matter how much you raise them, it’s over once they die.
“It’s a dog eat dog world.”
Thus, Weed’s true colours came out.
“Fight in the front line. Do not step back. Fight until you crush them. Kill them all!”
“Yes, lord!”
“We will follow the lord’s command.”
“We will carry out the orders of the commander of the dark army.”
With Undead underlings in front of him, Weed killed monsters left and right.
“Attack, attack, attack!”
The tactics he would often employ was no where to be seen here.
He just encouraged the battle onward.
The fiercer these monsters and Undeads fight, there were more chance of rich hunting opportunities.
These Undeads could be revived by Necromancers players anyways and there was the Undead Legion nearby so there was absolutely no need to value them.
All he did was ordering them to fight fiercely but something suddenly happened that even Weed didn’t expect.
- As a Death Knight by ordering an aggressive assault on the enemy, Knight’s leadership is activated.
Ø The item you are storing, Emperor of the continent’s seal is activated.
Ø By the emperor’s authority, maximum loyalty and morale of the Undead increase by +25%.
Ø By supplementing the Undead’s morale their attack increase by +17%.
Ø Your command to assault is sent to the Undead Legion.
With the Emperor of the continent’s seal, which was the royal seal of the emperor of Arpen, Undeads were fighting the monsters with amazing attack capabilities.
Compared to when Weed was a sculptor, these commanding skills didn’t activate fully.
But now that he was a Death Knight a type of a knight class, his commanding ability increased by 100% with the activation of its effects.
“Lord, I offer you my loyalty.”
“Everyone, attack on the order of our commander!”
More and more Dullahans and Death knights swore their loyaty to Weed.
With that the Undead army, on Weed’s orders, managed to take down monsters with monstrous strength.
The Undead could only show their full potential while attacking.
Leadership increased by +1.
Infrequently, Weed’s leadership related stats increased as he fought alongside his underlings.
There was no doubt that the summoned Undeads from the Necromancers and the reinforcements from the Undead Legion made the bulk of the army.
But under Weed’s presence, the entire Undead army became a whole new force.
They were so loyal to Weed that they carried out his orders immediately.
“Death Knights, fall back.”
“Falling back my lord!”
Weed instructed a withdrawal.
As soon as the Death Knights withdrew, the heavily wounded Barit leader swung around its whip insanely.
“You are mine!”
Weed satisfied his selfish interest and desires!
Just like other stats, a sculptor had uniquely high charisma, leadership and fighting spirit.
Though the Emperor of the continent’s seal was active he did not bother to stack up the effect by taking out the Demon Sword of Kolderim or the Horn of Treserk.
So far, Weed collected almost every good item drops possible in this hunts and quests.
He could just imagine what could happen if he put all these high value items on auction!
But for now, he decided to wait.
‘I’m not wasting these on the Undeads!’
Power increased proportionally to the equipment. Weed didn’t even need to use the Lion’s Roar skill, these Undead who lacked intelligence followed his command loyally.
They did whatever Weed told them to do and gave their loyalty even after the monsters vanish.
Before Weed came to the canyon, not every quest was successfully accomplished.
When these monsters broke through the defence line and entered the Undead Legion’s central station, the quest failed and fame and reputation decreased.
When they were begging in their minds for strong allies, Death Knight Weed arrived.
They had no expectations of him so they were amazed at Weed’s fighting skills.
When they had free time to gather mana by meditating once they were done with their duties of summoning more Undeads, strengthening the defensive line with bones or using Death Plant spells, they all watched Weed’s actions.
Every time Weed gave a command, the Undeads responded as fast as possible.
He desperately resisted against these monsters with his Undead underlings!
He was truly a king of Undeads! Or could it be said knights of knights?
The horse riding knight! Whose class was characterized by strong defence, attack, loyalty and honour.
It was amazing to see him lead such battles even though Undead had very low intelligence.
“GULP!”
“Wow, amazing.”
“How can he be that strong? Was he originally a Death Knight?”
“If he commanded humans rather than the Undeads… There is a no doubt that he would be able to control tens of thousands soldiers. If someone like him initiate a siege warfare, it would be a sight to see.”
