Chapter 107 Resurrection of the Dead

the next afternoon.

– Employer Partisha has applied for the employment of mercenary Choi Hyunseong. Accept?

-[Yes No]

Partisia hired Hyunseong.

Hyunseong clicked yes.

Wrath!

A vast plain spread out in front of Hyunseong’s eyes with bright rays.

“Thank you for coming, my lord.”

Particha greeted Hyunseong with a bright smile.

“Looks like you’re ready.”

Hyunseong said looking at the soldiers lined up on the wide plain.

“Yes, my lord.”

Particia hired Hyunseong after completing all preparations for the march.

‘Do you think there are too few troops?’

Hyunseong predicted that the Partisha would be able to mobilize more than 300,000 troops if not done.

The castle has a population of only 7 million.

However, the ratio of players to the general population was high, so that 1 out of 5 residents was a player.

The total number of troops that can be mobilized is 1.4 million.

He thought that even if he included troops to defend, about half, or 700,000, could be mobilized.

However, the number of soldiers lined up on the plain was at most 50,000.

“Why are there so few soldiers?”

At Hyunseong’s question, Particha opened her mouth with a confident tone.

“Only the most elite troops were carefully selected. All of them are veterans beyond level 400.”

Upon hearing Partisha’s words, she was immediately convinced.

‘Actually, it’s better to have a few elites than to have a lot of unnecessary numbers.’

Based on Earth, it meant that all 50,000 troops were capable enough to be called rankers.

“And in the battles to come, these children will serve as the lord’s help.”

As soon as Partisia finished speaking, a man in his late twenties and a woman in his mid-20s stepped forward.

“Please treat me like a magician, my lord.”

“I will serve you with all my heart.”

Two men and women took the example of a knight with their right hands above their hearts.

Both appeared to be players.

“Who are these?”

“This is my son and daughter.”

“A son and a daughter?”

“Yes.”

Hyunseong put on a surprised expression at Partisha’s words.

“Are you married?”

“Yes, I did.”

Partisha replied calmly.

‘Then it looks like it.’

The figure of Partisha was buried on the faces of her men and women.

It definitely felt like blood.

Well, on the surface alone, these two looked like her brother or sister, not Partisha’s son or daughter.

“These are two of my kids who have achieved the highest achievements as players. In the future, I will be in charge of the master, so you can think of him as a servant and use it comfortably.”

“I don’t really need people like me.”

I really didn’t need it.“These two are also knights under my command. He also serves as a messenger, so keep him by his side.”

Hyunseong nodded his head as if he understood Partisha’s words.

‘Well, this is probably the best sincerity Partisha-sama can show.’

If they were the children of Partisha, they could be called princes and princesses in this dimension.

It was the best kindness Partisha could show to use them as servants.

Also, what if Hyunseong sends a message to Partisha with the cry of the monarch, and Partisha sends a message to these two people with the cry of the monarch?

Communication was possible even from a distance.

‘It is possible to communicate in any other way.’

Hyunseong fiddled with the smartphone he put in his pocket.

It was a specially made smartphone because it had to be away from Earth for quite some time.

It is a smartphone with an improved product of alternating current that is difficult to commercialize because the unit price is too high, and uses magic stones as an energy source.

Naturally, it was possible to use points to connect to computers and smartphones covered with other exchange gems.

Hyunseong gave Lucia a smart phone that he could contact with the smart phone he was holding.

If there is an urgent matter on Earth, Lucia will contact you, and then a system has been established that allows you to return.

He went out of his way to help in another dimension, but it would be a big deal if the earth was in crisis, so he prepared a countermeasure.

‘Originally, I was going to give one to Partisha-nim.’

There seemed to be no need for these two.

In the first place, the point consumption was so great that it could be a burden to Partisha even if Hyunseong didn’t know.

“Can I know the names of the two of you?”

Hyunseong asked the two of them.

If you know the name, shouldn’t it be done or not?

“My name is Kai.”

“My name is Lisa.”

The two quickly said their names.

“Kai-sama, Lisa-sama, please take care of us for the time being.”

“insect!”

The two of them responded at the same time as if they had made a promise and raised the military rite.

‘Ira.’

Partisia, who looks in her late teens, and her daughter and son, who are in their mid to late 20s.

As time goes by, the apparent difference will widen.

‘If I got married and had children, would it be like that?’

From the appearance of the Partisha family, she seemed to see her own future.

“Advance all troops!”

Partisha’s order to advance was issued.

ridge! ridge! ridge!

The march of the soldiers began with the sound of drums.

‘It looks like you’re planning to do it right from the beginning.’

The drum that announced the advance of the soldiers was not an ordinary drum.

It was a kind of item that could activate the provocation skill in the form of a drum sound.

The magic contained in the drum sound spread across the plains.

-Kyaooooooo!

– Aaaaaaah!

The roar of monsters could be heard from afar.

Doo doo doo!

The earth trembled.

‘Come.’

A cloud of dust rose from the edge of the plain.

The entity that created the dust cloud was a group of tens of thousands of monsters.’It looks like you’ve arranged it in advance.’

Compared to the distance the drum sound spread, there were not many monsters rushing.

But even if there aren’t many, monsters are monsters.

If it collided head-on, it was obvious that the damage to the allies would be great.

‘Let’s go meet him first.’

Shoo!

Hyunseong uses his space movement skill to move forward.

In an instant, the distance between Hyunseong and the monsters narrowed.

– Heh heh heh heh heh!

The harsh breathing sounds of monsters could be heard in front of you.

A thick, bitter smell tickled the tip of his nose.

The monsters continued to charge as if they were going to trample Hyunseong as it was.

Hold on! Whoops!

Hyunseong’s body was covered in jet-black lightning and flames.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Jet-black lightning and flames that spread from Hyunseong’s body engulfed the monsters like waves.

– Kyaaaaah!

– Key profit!

The monsters vomited painful screams and died in droves.

A jet-black lightning bolt spread quickly, turning the monsters’ bodies into ashes.

The flames also spread along with the jet-black lightning, burning the monsters’ bodies and magical powers.

Hyunseong’s stamina and mana were rapidly depleted and replenished repeatedly.

A jet-black thunderbolt and waves of flames that began centered on Hyunseong swept tens of thousands of monsters.

As a result.

Tens of thousands of monsters that filled the plains and rushed were turned into a handful of ashes in an instant.

Some achievement acquisition messages came to mind whether there were monsters that Hyunseong didn’t catch.

‘It seems that there were no legend-grade monsters.’

He only paid attention to expandability and did not pay much attention to destructive power.

It was powerful enough for a legendary monster, but seeing that they were all annihilated, these tens of thousands of monsters seemed to consist of only normal, rare, and heroic grades.

Aaaaaaah!

The remaining magical powers united.

Because they caught so many numbers, a cluster of magic occurred.

‘Good.’

Legendary items were better than heroic items.

‘what?’

But something was strange.

The remaining magical powers from the monsters’ bodies continued to unite in succession.

‘what’s this?’

The remaining magical energy emitted by tens of thousands of monsters was completely united.

Tuk!

And one skill book fell.

Hyunseong grabbed the skillbook.

[Resurrection of the Dead – Semi-Mythic Grade]

-Active skill book

-You must have dark magic.

-Enchants the dead with magic to resurrect them as undead.

-Active Skillbook Resurrection of the Dead – Do you want to acquire the semi-mythical level?

-[Yes No]

“her!”A burst of exclamation broke out.

“I’m sure there will be a quasi-shinhwa rating.”

In the meantime, I caught a bunch of common, rare, and hero grade monsters.

However, there has never been a single instance of an item above two ranks.

Naturally, I thought that an item above one rank was the limit.

But it seems it wasn’t

Seeing this semi-myth grade skill book came out.

‘It seems to be compatible with the Resurrection of the Lion that I saw before.’

Legendary Skill Book Resurrection of the Lion.

This is a skill book that was on my purchase list, but I didn’t buy it because I thought it would have too much of a ripple effect for use in modern society.

However, Resurrection of the Dead, an upgraded version of the Legendary Skill Book Resurrection of the Dead, has been released.

‘Shall we try it?’

This is not modern society.

Using the Undead Resurrection skill would have no way of causing a wave.

Where is that?

A large army was needed to protect the soldiers of Partisha, who could be called friendly anyway.

‘Let’s learn.’

Hyunseong chose yes.

As soon as the dead man’s resurrection skill was learned, the usage was automatically engraved.

‘High autonomy.’

It is also possible to create multiple undead corps with reduced combat power by scattering magical powers in all directions.

Conversely, it is possible to create a powerful individual by concentrating a large amount of magic on one undead.

What they have in common is that their final combat power is determined by how powerful the individual was while alive, independent of the magic consumed.

‘Simply put, the soul of a legendary monster is more efficient than the soul of a hero-grade monster even if the same magic is injected.’

There was nothing bad about Hyunseong.

I liked the fact that it could give a physical body by giving magic power based on the soul of the dead, not the body.

There are many restrictions if there is a corpse.

But what if there is no constraint that there must be a corpse?

You will be able to collect the loot and make your soul a slave.

‘Eat pheasants and eat eggs.’

There was nothing bad about Hyunseong.

‘Let’s try it.’

Hyunseong activated the Resurrection of the Dead skill.

The souls of monsters that had not been seen before were visible.

Hyunseong bestowed magical powers on the souls of monsters.

Aaaaah!

The magic that permeated the souls of the monsters began to form at a rapid rate.

In the air, monsters made of pure white bones appeared one by one.

woo woo woo!

In an instant, an army of 10,000 undead appeared.

‘This consumes a lot of magic power.’

Originally, Hyunseong wanted to resurrect all the souls of the monsters he hunted into undead monsters.

However, when only about 10,000 were resurrected, their magical power ran out.

‘I also have to do maintenance.’

Undead monsters have a body composed of magical power.

Therefore, in order to restore it when it was damaged, it had to be supplied with magic power.

‘Let’s try it once.’

Once you have learned the skill, try using it.

What if efficiency is good?

Stop using it.

What if efficiency is bad?

It’s okay to use it in a different way.

Hyunseong still had a way to administer a large amount of magical power to one powerful individual.

‘go.’

Hyunseong gave orders to the army of the dead who were resurrected with his magical powers.

– Whoa!

thud! thud! thud!

The monster corps made of pure white bones began to march at Hyunseong’s command.

* * *

“Did you see it?”

Kai and Lisa nodded at Partisha’s question.

The two’s faces turned white.

In the meantime, the two have witnessed Hyunseong fighting several times.

He also wiped out numerous monsters alone and hunted several legendary monsters at the same time.

But every time I saw it, I couldn’t help but wonder.

It was surprising that Hyunseong was a player like them.

“You seem stronger than before.”

At Kai’s words, Partisha nodded her head.

“It seems to me as well. You seem stronger than before.”

Hyunseong has been incredibly strong since he first appeared.

But it kept getting stronger and stronger.

In the previous battle, tens of thousands of monsters were wiped out in the blink of an eye.

Cleared more monsters faster than before.

After that, he took the loot and became stronger as a result.

It was enough to resurrect 10,000 monsters as undead and call them their own limbs.

A true corps was created by those who had the power to call themselves a ‘one-man corps’.

“Perhaps he will get stronger faster in the future. I don’t think the day will ever come when I catch up with him.”

In fact, there was no use in catching up.

Partisha is because she became a subject under Hyunseong’s subordinate, not a monarch who formed an independent force.

Oh, of course, if Partisia gets stronger, she can become a servant who doesn’t listen to the monarch’s words.

That was one of Partisha’s initial goals.

Establishing an equal relationship with Hyunseong and mutual coexistence.

But it seemed impossible.

Fortunately, among the misfortunes, Hyunseong, the monarch to whom Partisha swore allegiance, was not a tyrant, but a saint.

Thanks to Hyunseong’s consideration, the people of Partishia were able to avoid starvation.

Also, with Hyunseong’s help, the territory was expanded without any damage.

From the point of view of Partisha, who was in a situation where she had to worry about her day-to-day survival, Hyunseong’s help was like a rain shower in a drought.

“Be genuinely loyal and trustworthy of him. That is the only way for our clan to live and for the people to live.”

At Partisha’s words, her siblings opened their mouths with firm expressions.

“I will keep that in mind.”

“I will be truly loyal.”

Partisha smiled contentedly at her brother and sister’s promise.

* * *

Hyunseong marched at the forefront with the undead corps.

Monsters attracted by the sound of drums rushed in.

Aaaaaaaaah!

The undead corps and the monster corps collided head-on.- Whoa!

The undead monster thrust in its sharp teeth.

However, the movements of the living and breathing monsters were more agile.

Aww!

As the monster swung its front paws, the bones of the undead monster’s body collapsed helplessly.

The combat power of the undead corps was not very good.

If it were a hundred, I was ravaged by a hundred living monsters.

‘not bad.’

But Hyunseong smiled as he saw it.

‘I’m smarter than I thought.’

The undead corps made of magical power continued the battle regardless of whether their heads were broken or their chests were punctured.

As long as all of the given magical power was not consumed, it continued to run towards the enemy.

Fragile! Whoops!

Hyunseong used the Breath of Heukroesin and the Book of Fire at the same time.

Jet-black lightning and flames quickly covered the monsters.

Naturally, the bodies of allied undead monsters that were entangled into one were also engulfed in the breath and flames of the Black Lightning God.

However, there was no damage to the allies.

‘Okay, very good.’

Undead monsters are also part of Hyunseong’s magic skill.

Naturally, Hyunseong’s attack did no damage to the undead monsters.

What if I gave it a little more attention and gave it magic?

Fragile! Whoops!

An undead monster with its whole body covered in jet-black lightning and flames is born.

– Whoa, whoa!

Hyunseong intensively pushed the newly supplied magical power to the undead monsters standing in the vanguard.

As a result, the undead monsters engulfed in jet-black lightning and flames began to slaughter the monsters furiously.

As a result of Hyeonseong’s intensive mana giving, his fighting power increased even more than when he was alive.

‘This is fun.’

Hyunseong strengthened the undead monsters of the tribe that received magical power.

Since there were a lot of monsters coming from all directions, there was no need to worry about running out of stamina or magical power.

‘It’s less efficient.’

Hyunseong drove a huge amount of magical power to the guy who would have been a hero-grade monster in his lifetime.

At first, it grew up.

However, after reaching a certain level, the rate of growth has dropped to an abysmal level.

To put it simply, if you gave 1 mana at first, it became stronger by 1.

However, after giving 100 magic power, it only got about 1 stronger.

‘I think this is the limit.’

It did get stronger if you push the magic power in it.

But it was a loss.

Because it was 100 times more efficient to use that magic power to strengthen undead monsters from other hero grades.

In the case of hero-grade monsters, the limit seemed to come when they were three times stronger than they were alive.

‘What is the limit of the legend rating?’

Even if it was the same, it didn’t matter.

What about three times the fighting power of his lifetime?

You will have the power to chew and eat any legendary level monster by yourself.

‘The good thing is that magic is stored.’

The magical energy consumed to resurrect a monster as an undead is preserved until Hyunseong recovers it or it is naturally dissipated.

‘The amount lost naturally is not that great.’

What if it takes a long time and continuously supplies magical power to create an undead army?It can be used to recover magic power when in a hurry, or it can be used for battle.

‘I should have learned it earlier.’

The Necromancer-type skill book was more useful than Hyunseong expected.

‘Let’s test what the limits are.’

As Hyunseong continued his hunt, he strengthened the undead monsters and continued to increase their number.

He didn’t have to worry about running out of magical power or running out of monsters to turn into undead.

ridge! ridge! ridge!

Because the sound of drums of 50,000 troops following Hyunseong continued to attract monsters.

* * *

The first day of the fight.

Partisha’s soldiers mobilized for subjugation could not hunt even a single monster.

Because Hyunseong wiped out all the monsters.

The soldiers mobilized for the subjugation did not have any complaints about the fact that there was no battle.

rather liked it.

It was because he was aware of the fact that when a battle with a monster took place, large or small damage to allies would occur.

The 50,000 troops mobilized in the subjugation battle were the best power that the surviving human race of this dimension could gather.

If you can save it, it’s better to save it unconditionally.

“You have worked hard, my lord.”

Hyunseong smiled at Partisha’s greeting.

“Am I going too far?”

“no. If you continue to do this in the future, I don’t think I can ask for anything more.”

Hyunseong hunted all the monsters, so Partisha and her soldiers couldn’t even level up and get items.

However, the goal of this subjugation was not to level up and acquire items.

To expand the territories where humans can newly settle.

That was the purpose of this subjugation war.

From the Partisia’s point of view, she could not help but be happy that she succeeded in securing the territory while there was no damage to her allies.

Daily necessities and combat supplies are being produced in-house, and food is provided by Hyunseong.

There was no reason for Partisha to earn points by hunting monsters in a hurry or to collect points by selling items.

So, she did not need to raise her enthusiasm for hunting monsters until she had to bear the damage of her allies.

“Then shall we continue the subjugation war like this tomorrow?”

“If it doesn’t bother you, it’s something I wanted to ask you first.”

“all right. Then we will proceed with the subjugation battle tomorrow as well. Then I will go back.”

Points are automatically consumed just by Hyunseong being in the dimension of Partisha.

As such, it was good to go to the original world in situations other than combat.

Because there was no need to waste points equivalent to 20% of the mercenary hire price.

Even if there were no point consumption, Hyunseong would have returned to Earth.

‘It’s best to rest at home.’

You don’t have to go camping for nothing.

“You have worked hard, my lord.”

“If there is an urgent need, please hire me right away.”

“I will. Rather, my lord.”

“What’s going on?”

Hyunseong asked with a puzzled expression.

“I want to send these children to the world where the master lives.”

“Yes?”

Hyunseong’s expression changed in a strange way.

“I am sending you to the world where your master lives, to broaden your knowledge and serve you there.”

‘Isn’t this what it is?’

The king of the former monarchy sent the prince and princess hostage to the emperor of the monarchy in the name of studying abroad.‘I said, ‘Why did you introduce me?’

He probably introduced him to take him as a hostage.

‘Did you think I would like this?’

It meant showing loyalty, but it wasn’t good enough for Hyunseong, a modern man.

If they were taken into the modern society, they could be deprived of information and knowledge that only Hyunseong had.

“I will respectfully decline that. I trust Partisha.”

After saying those words, Hyunseong returned to Earth.

* * *

Hyunseong took care of the backlog immediately after returning to Earth.

Most of it was a problem with the games they were servicing.

“Did nothing special happen?”

Hyunseong, who handled urgent matters, asked Lucia.

“The dimensional gate has opened in India. However, it is said to have been safely suppressed by the Indian Players Association.”

It was a minor incident that Hyunseong did not need to worry about.

“Anything else?”

“There is not.”

Hyunseong nodded his head as if he knew and fell into the thought.

‘It is inefficient to maintain too many undead.’

Mana is consumed continuously to keep undead monsters like spirits.

Of course, it’s pretty insignificant.

But what if that number exceeds 10,000?

That insignificant loss is quite large.

No, to be honest, even at the level of 1,000 horses, a huge loss of magical power occurs.

Because of that, Hyunseong recovered the magical power he had given to the undead monsters he had summoned over 10,000 and hit them with the 300 undead monsters.

This is because it was impossible to keep up to 10,000 undead monsters because of the natural loss of magic power if the battle continued and the magic power was not supplied.

‘I think a hundred or so would be just right.’

It seemed that the amount of magical power that was naturally restored was about the same as the amount of magic that was naturally dissipated.

You don’t have to worry about losing horsepower.

‘If you are in a hurry, you can make it and use it at any time.’

The more monsters there are, the more numbers are created with the overflowing magical power.

What if there are no monsters?

Only one hundred are kept.

From Hyunseong’s point of view, there is no burden, and when you are in a hurry, you can use it as power, and when you run out of horsepower, you can recover it and use it.

‘Let’s catch the right guy tomorrow.’

In today’s subjugation battle, only hero grade monsters appeared.

‘I hope that a legendary monster will appear tomorrow.’

What if a legendary level monster appears?

Hunt and earn points and loot.

After that, you can resurrect it as an undead monster and use it.

‘The Orc Road is not worth it. Imoogi and hydra are too expensive.’

The quasi-myth grade monsters that were just killed in the past were Orc Lords and Legendary grade monsters.

If he had learned the resurrection skill of the dead at that time, wouldn’t he have proudly brought him back to life as an undead?

‘Forget it, it’s already gone.’

You should do well in the future.

There are many legend-grade monsters in Partisha’s dimension.
