Chapter 244 Necromancy Vs Great Graveyard - Part 2: Maximizing Attack

Shin looked at the Boar King and smirked.

Then with complete confidence, he said, "Let's see, who wins…"

"My Necromancy, or your Great Graveyard…?"

Although he was just challenging Avan, it hurt its pride. Yes, he couldn't bear to see a puny wolf have such a skill.

'A mere white wolf has such a skill…?'

'But didn't that person say that this is an epic rank skill that is rarest of the rarest?', Avan asked himself.

He was confused and shocked by the skill that Shin used.

Yes, both of them used Undead Skills, but Shin's was better. It was obvious from the reasons stated previously.

The smoke took the shape of all those dead animals. It was obvious that they retained their skills as well. Of course, just like the skeleton warriors, they didn't have any self-consciousness.

Yes, they couldn't think for themselves.

Regardless, there were at least 300 dead bodies around. Foxes, boars, monkeys, worms, and what not?

All the beings that had been previously slaughtered by Shin and also by the shadow wolves were present there. They now became undead and became a part of Shin's strength.

When Shin glanced at them, he could see something floating on top of them.

[ Levels to completely regain powers: 1/5 ]

[ Levels to revive: 1/100 ]

'Huh?'

'What are those?'

He was confused. What did it mean by levels before reviving? He ended up asking the system.

*Ding*

[ The specified detail shows the levels required before the undead could regain its complete strength to its previous form ]

[ The below text represents the level required by the undead to gain the authority to regain its body or reside in another body ]

'I see…'

'So in order to regain its former powers, it needs to level up only 5 times…'

'But it needs to reach level 100 before it can revive?'

'It looks like it will take a long time before any of them can be revived.', Shin was right.

In any case, this was not the situation to think about this because the battle had already started.

The undead foes and undead friends started to clash against each other.

"Crush their bones into pieces!", Shin shouted and as per his orders, his army literally went and started attacking the bones to such an extent that multiple cracks appeared soon enough after which they ended up cracking.

Shin's undead army couldn't exactly use any advanced skills, but they could definitely use some basic skills such as 'Bite' and 'Tackle' despite the fact that they lacked physical body or teeth.

Yes, without having them, they could perform those attacks. They would just make the mana gather at those places and then attack.

When Shin looked at them attacking in such a manner, he was surprised.

'Undead isn't supposed to be intelligent…'

'Then how the hell are they able to use their skills like that?'

Whatever, the foes were crushed in minutes. The skeletons were on the ground and were no longer getting up.

The reason was simple, their bones were crushed.

Earlier, the reason why they were able to assemble again and again was because of the Boar King's extreme mana. Yes, using his mana, the bones were able to re-attach themselves.

However, after being cracked, just a mere re-attachment won't do the job. They would require proper maintenance and healing only after which they could continue doing what their job was.

Even if the Boar King was a strong being, at max, he could be as strong as Blanca.

Thus, he couldn't spare any mana for their healing since he exhausted a lot already.

After attacking the wolves and then attacking Blanca, he couldn't have much mana left. Needless to say, a lot of mana would have definitely been used to make the skeletons move.

Regardless, Shin had a lot of mana to spare. Yes, even after using the skill necromancy, he had a lot, and when it spells a lot, it means a lot of mana is left!

[ MP: 1280/1300|| Max. MP: 9999 ]

The only amount of mana that was deducted was due to the usage of Speed Run. No MP was consumed when he used the skill necromancy.

And why was that?

Well, it was relatively simple, instead of MP, the skill demanded something else.

And that was HP.

Yes, the ones who were being turned into undead, had HP bars beside them.

[ HP: 100/100 ]

[ HP: 100/100 ]

[ HP: 100/100 ]

[ H… ]

Since they had been turned into undead for the first time, all of their HP was at 100. Yes, all the 287 beasts that had been turned into undead had 100 as their HP.

Of course, this would have meant that Shin lost 28700 HP and since he doesn't have that many, he would have already been dead – of course, this ain't true.

That was because the amount of HP that was deducted from Shin was only 287.

[ HP: 1713/2000 || Max. HP: 9999 ]

That was the nature of his skill  Necromancy.

[ Necromancy ]

-> Mana Free Skill.

-> Consumes 1 HP per undead created

-> HP points of the undead would be set at 100 at level 1.

-> With the increase in the level of undead, the HP would increase.

-> The increase factor will be previous HP multiplied by the increased level.

This was quite overpowered since he could, right now, summon a total of 1999 undead and still remain alive – of course, a single hit after that could kill him, but this was just a possibility!

The undead went forward to attack the boar army.

Blood splattered as if there was no tomorrow.

Out of about 500 boars, only 200 survived.

"You are getting on my nerves!", Avan shouted.

"And you fools, if we can't get any damage done on the undead, then why don't you attack the spell user?", Avan shouted.

The boars heard their boss speak and changed their approach immediately.

"Looks like you are just slightly more intelligent than these dogs…", Shin grinned as he said this to Avan.

"You-"

All the boars charged towards Shin. He prepared himself to attack, but before he could, the undead rushed towards him as they murdered many of the boars.

However, there were too many boars who successfully approached Shin.

They just charged straight and that was when Shin activated what he was supposed to do since earlier.

*Ding*

[ You have used the skill Aura Domain ]

The moment he used that skill, the boars that were charging towards him with great speed, became ten times slower.

Many of them were pinned on the ground due to pressure.

Even Avan, who was in a class of his aura, broke sweat as he felt Shin activate his Aura Domain.

'A…'

'A white wolf using Aura Domain?'

'It was already ridiculous to use an Undead skill…'

'But now he could also use Aura Domain?'

'No way…'

'Could he be-'

'Could he be the rumored ruler of the swamps about whom HE talked about!?', Avan's eyeballs were shaky.

He was completely scared after that.

Blanca was indeed surprised earlier, but now, he started to expect even greater things.

'Someone with the title of Ruler Of Swamps cannot be weak…'

'I knew that…'

'Yes, I knew that he was strong, but…'

'What is this strength? Just how much power is he hiding?', Blanca started asking himself.

*Ding*

[ You have used the skill, Aero Slash ]

And the boars were being chopped one by one with the attack.

Avan could no longer see this.

He opened his huge mouth as he prepared for the next attack.

A red-colored sphere, similar to earlier but quite large was formed. He fired it as soon as it was formed.

He neglected the fact that his own people, the boars were standing near Shin. All he wanted to do was eliminate Shin.

"Master…?", all the boars who saw him attack started sweating profusely as their hearts realized that they were left behind and betrayed by their king.

Yes, they realized that they were just pawns and while realizing this, all they could do was see their brethren get slashed by Shin's skill and the gigantic Red Sphere approaching them.

Most of them closed their eyes, accepting their fates decided by their King.

'Rascal, despite knowing that his men would be caught up in the attack, he went ahead and fired it.', Shin grit his teeth.

'System, add 2000 stat points to attack!', Shin said to the system.

*Ding*

[ Command Accepted ]

[ Atk: 1013+2000 || Max. Atk: 4999 ]

[ Stat points acquired: 1000 ]

Right after that, his body shone in green light for a second.

*Ding*

[ You have used the skill Rage ]

[-> All stats are doubled temporarily ]

[-> Int stat will be halved temporarily ]

[-> Aura Domain will remain activated ]

[-> 10% of HP will be consumed ]

[-> Lasts 00:00:05:00 (5 minutes) ]

With this, all his stats such as stats related to attack and defense doubled.

But what Shin was looking for was doubling of the attack stats.

[ Atk: 3013+3013 || Max. Atk: 4999 ]

Yes, in order to counter the huge level difference and strong attack, Shin needed this boost.

*Ding*

[ You have used the skill Shadow Blast ]
