Chapter 77 – Episode 77. Legion of the Dead
I entered the cradle of rest, sat down on the floor, and spoke.
“Let’s all sit down. Then, shall we talk about the goods we received? Shi-eun first.”
“Yes, brother.”
What Shi-eun took out was a small ring.
“It is said to be the ring of protection I received after finishing 4th in the first dungeon. The 200 gold I received as a separate injury must have gone directly to my brother. Once a day, it blocks an attack the wearer is unaware of. I think it would be perfect for my brother to use.”
Oh, the ring of protection.
It’s a considerable effect to block an attack the wearer is unaware of, isn’t it?
If you have this ring, you can prevent sudden attacks, right?
I handed the ring that had been handed over to Si-eun to Dong-seok and said,
“Put the ring on your finger. And Jisoo, pick up anything and attack Dongseok from behind.”
“Me, me?”
“Yeah, just in case you don’t know, don’t aim for the head, aim for the back.”
“Hey, how much power should I use?”
“Swing as hard as you can.”
I don’t have to worry because I can heal the destructive power that exceeds the power of the ring.
Dong-seok was staring at the front blankly while wearing a ring, and Ji-soo went behind Dong-seok and swung the sword he was holding with all his might.
Kaaang
“Kyaaak!”
Jisoo’s sword bounced off with the sound of metal clashing.
Right before Jisoo’s sword touched Dongseok’s back, it was clear that something like a translucent shield had been created and then shattered.
Looking at Dong-seok’s back, he seemed to be intact, as if he hadn’t been hit at all.
I can only use it once a day, but isn’t this a pretty good item?
During the event, the strength stat of Jisoo, who shook her waist with me, is well over 100.
To think that Jisoo was using all his strength to block the attack without any damage.
It means that you can block most attacks at least once.
It’s a pity that it’s only once a day, but where is this?
It is an item equivalent to adding one extra life to me.
With a satisfied face, I took the ring from Dong-seok and put it on my finger.
A ring that is perfectly adjusted to the size of my finger.
I looked at the ring with a satisfied face and told Shi-eun.
“I think it’s a really useful item. You really worked hard, Sieun-ah.”
“Oh, no. I’m so glad I helped you.”
Shi-eun lowered her head as if embarrassed.
I turned my head and looked at the captain and said.
“What did you get, Uncle?”
Si-eun’s item, which was the 4th place product, was so useful, how much better was the item of the second place, Mr. Captain.
However, the expression on the face of the captain is… It seems that something is restless.
Why are you doing that
Said the chieftain.
“First of all… I received 500 gold for the second place injury. I think it probably went right into Min-gu. And… The prize I received was that…”
Hesitant uncle.
“What’s wrong? What did you get…”
The captain sighs a little at my question and speaks out.
“.. I don’t think this item will be of much use to Mingu. It’s called the Poison Combination Set… It’s a set of tools that allow you to create and combine all kinds of rare poisons…”
Hmm, definitely not a very useful item for me.
However..
Poison combination set for the poison master.
Was a customized item provided to each winner in the first place?
Looking at the products of the dungeon I went to… The third place Isu received was a cloak.
I don’t know the option, so I can’t tell if it’s customized for Lee Soo-ah or not, but at least Lee Soo-ah seemed quite satisfied.
And the muscle man who was in second place was very satisfied with his main weapon, the great sword.
The ring of protection Shi-eun received is actually a customized item that is perfect for Si-eun, a long-distance dealer.
Originally, ranged dealers are vulnerable to surprise attacks.
If Shi-eun didn’t have to worry about death, the ring of protection would have been put on and used by Shi-eun rather than me.
Thinking about it, I can see that the hypothesis that the prizes received by the award winners are customized items suitable for each individual’s job fits perfectly.
Then…
“Juniel. What is the number one item you received?”
At my question, Juniel took out her fancy black bracelet and handed it to me.
“What I received is this bracelet. Call it Berserker Armor. Summon equipped armor with extremely high defense.
There is also a magic nullification effect that cannot be penetrated by magic. It’s an armor equipped with an additional skill called berserk.”
“… What options are so deceptive? Magic doesn’t work at all… I guess it’s the number one product after all.”
“By the way, this armor is very similar to the one I used in the Demon Lord’s Army. The attached skills are also the same.”
“Is it similar to the armor you used?”
Juniel nodded at my words.
“Huh. Originally, when I was a corps commander, I fought in the style of charging into the middle of the enemy with my coachman’s Grand Tail and wearing black Berserker armor.”
Ah, come to think of it, that was Juniel’s nickname.
The mad dog of the Demon King.
I get goosebumps all over my body when I think of Juniel holding a huge godfather, covering his whole body in black armor, and slicing up enemies in all directions.
Anyway, the number 1 item that Juniel received is also a difficult item for me to use.
I shook my head and asked Juniel.
“What kind of skill is the berserk skill that is said to hang on the armor? Uh? Come to think of it, didn’t you originally have a skill called berserk?”
Juniel nodded at my words.
Certainly, when I first met and fought with Juniel, there was an incident where Juniel suddenly showed an absurd move and put me in trouble.
That skill must have been berserk.
Instantly boosts stats.
However, the recoil put me on the verge of death, and I was able to successfully counterattack.
“That’s right. My berserk skill is a skill that doubles all stats the moment it is activated. Instead, it’s a skill that can’t be used easily because there is a big recoil when using the skill. However, if you have this armor with a berserk skill, you can use the skill for a fairly long time with much less recoil. “
“Oh yeah?”
Juniel nodded and said.
“Yes. The armor with the same skill takes part of the risk of the skill instead. You won’t be in a dying state like before. Because the body grinds in proportion to it.”
Juniel looked at his own hand and said with a bitter expression.
“Now, I can use berserk for quite a long time. It’s a body that doesn’t die anyway, and won’t the owner fix the bodies that are being ground?”
“Um… Well, that’s true, but try to save your skills as much as possible. I need my life force to heal you. And right now, there’s no enemy strong enough to fight using that skill.”
Juniel nodded her head and said.
“Then can I use this armor?”
“Okay. Because it seems to be a custom item for you anyway. Try installing it Let’s take a look at what kind of armor it is.”
At my words, Juniel wearing a bracelet.
Within,
Charrrr
The black energy that started from the bracelet enveloped Juniel’s whole body, and with the sound of metal joining together, Juniel stood there, clad in sleek black armor.
Hey, there’s even a hole for Juniel’s horn on the helmet.
Are you too cool?
It’s like watching I O-Man.
This is what men want, but I don’t feel like wearing it.
In the first place, I’m not a person who charges and fights, I’m just a weak necromancer.
Well, with Juniel wearing it instead of me and fighting well.
I looked at the captain and said.
“Either the poison combination set you got or something is something I can’t use. I hope my uncle puts it to good use. What can I do with it?”
“You can create poisons of various effects. If there is a poison you want, please let me know. I will make it for you.”
“Well, I can’t think of anything right now. Please make good use of it and work hard to defend your shelter. Now that new monsters have appeared, you will have to pay more attention to defense.”
“All right.”
Uncle bowing his head.
He seemed quite excited, as if he liked the poison combination set he was able to use.
Jiyoon looked at me and asked.
“What item did you get?”
“I’ve been receiving a skill acquisition ticket to receive one job skill.”
“A skill? What skill is it?”
“I’ll have to check that out now.”
I took out the 2nd job skill acquisition ticket from my pocket.
Except for the items our party received and the ring Shi-eun brought, all of them were items that were of no use to me.
In the first place, these are items tailored to the winners.
However, this small piece of paper is the perfect item for me.
I tore up the skill acquisition ticket with high expectations.
[You have used the 2nd Job Skill Acquisition Ticket. You have acquired the ‘Army of the Dead’ skill.]
Skill has emerged
It’s an army of the dead… What kind of skill is it?
I opened the status window.
“Status Window”

When I checked the status window, the first thing that caught my eye was the huge increase in gold.
The gold received as a result of the event alone was 2700 gold, so the total amount of gold was over 4,000.
You should try it out in the store.
When I think of the cute Jun’s face, I smile without even realizing it.
And, the ‘Army of the Dead’ skill that has not yet been activated.
Fortunately, I have 2 skill points left.
When I used 1 point to activate the skill to lv.1, I was able to check the details of the skill.
[Legion of the Dead: You can summon a moving skeleton for the caster by consuming mana.
Number of currently summonable skeletons: 10. Derived Skills: Weapon Summoning, Evolution, etc.]
Wow
It’s a Skeleton.
A fraudulent skill worthy of a necromancer has gone up!
I couldn’t hide my excitement.
I immediately consumed the remaining 1 skill point and raised the ‘Army of the Dead’ skill to lv2.
[The ‘Legion of the Dead’ skill has reached level 2. When summoning a skeleton, it is summoned while holding the ‘Goblin Dagger’.]
OK, now I don’t have any more skill points.
I walked out of the cradle of rest.
My companions rushing after me.
You might be wondering what skills I got.
I stretched out my hand in the middle of the empty square and used the skill.
‘The Legion of the Dead.’
I feel like my mana is running out.
When I checked the status window, 100 mana was gone at once.
And,
Hard
The ground starts to shake.
Soon, piles of skeletons squeezed through the ground.
“I-that’s…”
Shi-eun freaks out and clings to me.
Fevered skeleton soldiers standing blankly with daggers used by goblins in their hands.
It was my legion of the dead that I summoned by consuming almost half of my mana.
