Sculptural Understanding Advance level 3 had considerable advantages. Besides various curse magic and escort golems, production of every undead went up as well.
“Okay, Undead Summoning is Intermediate level 7.”
Alcohol was useless in his transformed state so this was as far as he could get for benefits. Thanks to the sculpture transformation the majority of his skill of raising undead had improved, while his main attack skills had greatly reduced.
“I think its time to start hunting.”
Weed looked at the rest of his set up before turning to Van Hawk.
“I have no brother more reliable than you brother Hawk, you go first.”
“I get it master.”
Death Knight did not say a word as he walked toward the front. Weed’s hunting laws are usually different when Death Knight comes to the forefront to fight.
“Leaving everything to death knight in the front and fighting behind his back, I’m not use to this fighting style …. Well, it’s no big deal.”
One of the top thing’s to revitalize was the attributes of the job. Producing curses from the back!
“Dark Speculation!”
Around Death Knight’s body distinctive shadows jumped out of hiding places. Access a Weapon! Diet and Exercise! (T/N -.- he’s testing out his skills on Death Knight but I have no idea why the author insist on using these weird references)(PR: I don’t get it TT^T)
The shades that jumped out of the shadows started to attack Death Knight. Deer and chubby bats that were level 300 started to come out at the sound of the battle. Then 6 horses and 5 dogs and a whopping 23 cats came out.
“Master, your command.”
“The darkness descends, corpse soldiers attack!”
Death Knight swung his sword all over the place to prevent their approach and attack, hurling away the ones who came close away as they railed at him. However among the common monsters there were several uncommon:
Tairbeth
(T/N In volume twenty these creatures were called TairBeth’s but in translating I’ve found that their called Tair Badgers, which I think is the correct name since they never give an explanation of what it’s body looks like. I think it’s a flying badger type creature. Since they use their teeth and claws to attack and can spit.) (PR I’m just gonna leave this word there as a reminder then)
The TairBadger quickly glued their body to Death Knight. Their saliva had a sticky mucus like quality that stuck to death knight like a kid playing with glue. It was toxic, and strong enough it melt the bones off your flesh, but the potent poison was of no avail to death night.
‘I think their physical attack power is weak compared with their level. Their saliva can suppress Death Knight’s movements. Then they attack him with attacks too fast for him to avoid. Considering Death Knight’s defenses (armor) he can hold out for a while.’
The TairBadger attacks were quick enough that it made it difficult to dodge, along with the movement sealing mucus, it was too much of a burden to deal with all at once. Assassin, adventurers and explorers have navigation skills. But no matter how much you scout you can’t find out everything hidden. For example, the hostilities of TairBadgers. It was better to throw Death Knight out there as bait instead of charging in like a fool. Weed pulled out the Fallen Saints staff and started summoning.
“Your flesh will be made undead. Ye shall be forever stuck in my hand. Necromancer’s Declaration.”
You have used Necromancer’s Declaration.
◾When you create undead the effect is increased by 15%
◾The target’s physical ability will be decreased 10%
◾The targets mental suffering will be increased by 10%
◾The target’s hit by Necromancer will have greater hostility towards you
Necromancer’s declaration. Before a full-scale fight, use the top tier spells to increase your powers. If your magical proficiency is high enough, then it can even increase the effect of unique techniques. Some TairBadgers turned and attacked Weed, even when they were near death or severely weakened.The 10 TairBadgers attacked his body with spit shots, scratches and bites. Weed’s bones made sounds as they absorbed the attacks.
“The fateful bitterness doesn’t feel. A narrow sight! The confusion and suffering is endless. No end to the pain! Even at dawn, just do as they do and fall in a deep tired sleep. With deep stinging in his eyes and yawning come forth. Increase in Fatigue!”
“Every inch of the body is tickled. The disease of the blood occurs! The body is rotting away from the corrupt air, spreading to anyone who drinks it in. Summon Poison mist”
A huge number of subsequent curse magics were summoned continuously. Weed had summoned up to 4 instantaneous curses a minute. In order to prepare a magic curse he has to constantly recite the exact summoning spell. But Weeds cursing did not falter for even one second.
During the battle he placed curses on the creature that attacked him and the sculptures of life fighting. There was a delay when using curse magic. The effect of using many curses in a row lead to considerable drop in magic concentration.
When the magic concentration drops the spell is more likely to fail, and the spells get considerable weaker. But all the blessings and curses were still recited properly so they worked.
Due to the curses, the TairBadgers were noticeable weakened. Weed drew a long breath as one of the TairBadgers stuck to Death Knight and died. He immediately ordered.
“Corpse Explosion!”
Cracks appeared all over the dead TairBadger’s body then exploded in great flash of light! Part’s of the Tair Badgers body bounced all over the place. The strongest skill of the magical skills, at the top of the necromancer class; the Corpse Explosion. The explosion happened right next to Death Knight, but he was saved from the blast by the Tair Badgers which were stuck to his body, thus mitigating most of the damage.
Due to continuous use magic concentration has severally dropped.
The front of Weed’s eyes suddenly grew cloudy, like cataracts in adults. Even if his wisdom and knowledge was very high for the moment he had still used too many high level spells.
“Chek, chek, chek!”
The TairBadgers now had a new enemy for their animosity. There were only two left on Death Knight. The other TairBadgers flew off as they joined up and came to attack Death Knight/Weed. Due to the effects of the curse they were noticeably slower. They bumped into each other as they flew up and down in the air.
“Geumini, bow and arrows!”
“GoloGoloGol!”
Geumini shot a bunch of arrows from the high elf bow that went straight for the target! For example (T/N I hate when I see these words!) an African bow. The arrows are made from blessed stones and sprinkled with holy water to produce the best results when they are released. The spirits in action are a very beautiful sight, but the Tair Badgers had very little resistance, being just six meters from fight.
“Golden Bird, you go ahead and fight too!”
But the Golden bird only sat and preened its feathers. Weed had not been recognized with a measure of acceptable intimacy so it did not help with the battle. There was a bit of golden light shining up from the ground.
