Weed hunted at an amazing place commanding undead armies, but there were limits to mobilizing for the quest.
Because undead armies are basically cheap and weak, lots of sacrifices were required whenever fighting against Bollards.
“Not easy to explore.”
Undead armies unconditionally get hostile reactions from monsters.
Because of that, he had to fight without rest.
Now, he even summoned 40 Death Knights.
It was the biggest undead army Weed could make with his level, mana recovery rate, and necromancer skill.
Even so, 30 to 50 undead died whenever fighting against Bollards.
“For now, we have to head to the 7th peak where the Armenia pirates headed to. But, we’ll have to fight at least 20 times against Bollards…... “ Whenever fighting against Bollards, the number of undead reduces tremendously.
Mostly low-level undead dies, but if the number of low-level undead get too low, even Death Knights will die.
“Can’t help, but to keep on moving as we fight against Tairbeth.”
At where 4 Bollards are gathered, AOE curse magic is casted, Death Knights attack, and skeleton mages shootout magic.
A bunch of ghouls and zombies charged forward, and Deer that was undead-ized to the Bollards! Due to huge attack by undead army, battles were lead to victories, but 23 undead crumbled from burning, never to be summoned again.
Because they fought against Bollard after Bollard, at least 100 undead were unable to be re-summoned.
“At this rate, it’ll be troublesome.”
Weed moved to hunt Tairbeths, but the closer he went to the 7th peak, the number of Bollards increased and now, at least 5 or 6 of them roamed around together.
To add on, based on what he observed when he turned into a crow, even if he passes through Bollards, Warriors of Chaos will appear.
“Can’t be helped. I’ll think about it later, and use all that I can for now.”
Weed took out his last card, Mirror of Eternal Rest.
It’s an item related to the Matallost religion; it allows an undead to possess high vitality, mana, and strength.
“There’s only 3 left for the durability, so…… I’ll have to use it really carefully and give it back before it breaks.”
As soon as he took out the Mirror of Eternal Rest, black and blue energy flowed through Weed.
Ding!
- A hideous Lich uses the Mirror of Eternal Rest
The raised undead’s vitality increases by 25%.
Mobility increases by 38%.
They’ll use various methods to move. For example, crawling on four feet or jumping off of a wall.
They’ll possess deadly poisons.
Resistance increases.
Instinct becomes sharpened.
The undead that dug and hid inside the earth will be able to endure for longer period of time even without necromancer's mana supply.
You can use level 5 undead summoning skill.
You can summon a group of witches that will obey a necromancer.
Necromancer skill effect increases by 55%.
Able to use special skills.
Grim grave, Ghost Cry in Mid of Night, Acid Breath, Self Destruction of Anguish, Vitality Transfer.
- Not much of the durability of the Mirror of Eternal Rest is left.
Weed’s vitality, mana, and wisdom also increased by a lot. His intelligence and wisdom alone increased by 300, and his maximum mana doubled.
“For now, rest everyone.”
Weed stopped all mana supplies to the undead, and disabled undead summon magic.
Then, zombies, ghouls, skeleton, and Death Knights all collapsed onto the ground.
The only ones left were Death Knight Van Hawk and Geuminyi
“Rise again. I will save you from the tortures at the bottom of the hell. I will give you power, enough to rule the world. Summon Death Knight!”
He raised at least 50 Death Knights using the skeletons that turned back into corpses.
Originally, real Death Knights should only be raised using a knight’s corpse.
The effect is bigger if a corrupt, greedy, and unjust knight’s corpse is used to summon a Death Knight.
A penalty was put on to the Death Knights as they were raised using the bones that were originally of beasts.
Still, the magenta aura that flows on their bodies!
- With necromancer’s skill strengthened, the Death Knights’ strength and vitality also increased.
“At least level 270.”
Weed was very satisfied even with this much.
If their levels were 270, then they were stronger than most Death Knights.
Currently, necromancers are praised by majority, but it is not invincible. While you can bring around undead armies, the quality of each individual units sucked.
It is most suited for fast leveling up, mass production, and mass consumption.
“We want to know if you have the right to order us.”
The summoned Death Knights asked him.
To obtain their loyalty, he must prove his power and leadership.
Instead of inconveniently talking lots, he took out the Royal Seal of Arpen Kingdom.
“Authority of the Emperor.”
Luminosity that gently shone from the crystal skull!
- You have used the Authority of the Emperor.
When a lord or a king uses it, your diplomacy skill will temporarily increase.
You can suppress a citizen’s objection with your authority.
Knights and nobles will follow any orders.
Increases loyalty of commoners.
Leadership increased by 150%.
Charisma increased by 150%.
Stats irrelevant to battle will temporarily increase by 40.
Until you directly get involved in a battle, the Authority of the Emperor will be maintained.
If you battle without cancelling the skill, the effect of the Authority of the Emperor will continually decrease until its owner gets changed.
An emperor does not fight in front of the army!
The Death Knights, as the necessary condition to make full use of the Authority of Emperor was fulfilled, kneeled.
“We will follow your order.”
For now, he got the promise of loyalty, so they won’t betray him easily. Plus, since he, the lord of undead, raised them himself, the basic process was already done.
Weed showed a satisfied smile and cancelled the skill.
“Cancel the Authority of the Emperor!” The aura that decorated the crystal skull slowly disappeared.
“If I walk around the town under that state, it will be pretty useful.”
Weed raised more types of undead using Undead Rise. Undead were now a lot stronger and had their levels raised from 30% to 40% compared to before.
“Let’s go!” Weed ordered the undead to go toward the Bollards.
“Death Knights, mark one for each. Undead, focus on supporting them!” Ghouls and zombies got the mission of staying by Weed.
Skeleton mages used magic attacks, and Geuminyi shot arrows.
