Volume 23 Chapter 5 (1/2)
Voluht
Weed hunted over 45 Baritdown the slopes of the canyon on his Phanto blow on these Barits!
“Who is that Death Knight?”
“I don’t know Choosing to be a co this far Does anyone know that guy?”
“I think I’ve seen hiht thatat hiht”
The Necromancers stared down at Weed’s action fro his movements
Sword rotated freely in his hand as he slashed every Barits in his way
On a horse, the knight’s charge was one of the most useful skill available
The skill increased the attack ht
However, attacking with a sword or skill while riding on horseback at full speed was extremely hard
And this was not a flat plain, but a canyon with uneven surface
One needed a perfect balance between the riding the reckless horse andthe attack distance to the enemy
This was difficult even for players who chose to be knights and spend thousands of hours practicing horseback riding
“How can he fight so well?”
“It’s like he has eyes at the back of his head That’s absurd”
“His combinations of skills and dynamics, word can't describe it I am really curious about who that person is”
Horses weren’t always helpful
Even if your charge attack was successful, it created a backlash
If the backlash couldn’t be withstood, there is a chance of falling off from the horse
If heavy armour hen thrown off the horse, the impact caused confusion or paralysis status so it could beco like that on a horse… The Necromancers were a a beast
Barit was a tough ressive monsters lived in a herd and their level even exceeded 350
With their excellent instinct their sense of co the parties avoided facing groups of Barits exactly for this reason
But Weed, he charged the Barits with no fear or hesistation
In the battlefield littered with Undeads and Barits, he fought with most optierous and often inflicted serious daes but Balkan was someplace close from here
Due to this the effect of Death Aura was ht continuously as it constantly regenerated his health
After defending the canyon for the third time, Necro of the dawn as the nu dropped
As Weed was co on his horse, Otem spoke to him
“Hey, excuse me”
“Yes?”
Weed answered with his face still covered by his helmet, this was out of courtesy since his face was just a skull
It was not only him, most Necromancer players concealed their body with robes It made for a pretty weird scenery
“Not many people chose cohting in such manner?”
“……”
Weed was not used to coht well? I shouldn’t have stood out soto affect how much items I can pick up’
In his conscience, he only picked up items from monsters he defeated himself
But to be honest, he did kill plenty of near dead monsters
Under the canyon it was a cluster ofBarit one-by-one with full health was an i the Barits that were distracted by the other Undead, the curses and Corpse Explosion spells flying about helped immensely
He didn’t know exactly which Necro the ing in between the Barits, they frequently su attacks
Truthfully many of the Barits he defeated were already near death
In return there were many other Barits that were left stuned in his wake that he couldn’t finish off
Regardless he was on the constant look out for the boss Barits to kill
Since he was fighting down the canyon, it was different froe where it was impossible not to stand out
“I observed the whole thing”
“………”
“You see Wouldn’t it be convenient to join forces in this canyon?”
Oteether
One of few feht You should join us there won’t be any harm in it We could use some help and it looks like you need some summons there too”
It seemed that as Weed was a combat class rather than a summoner they did not think he was part of the coer
In this canyon co-operating with others was key to successfully co the quest, also the Necromancers need to be on the constant look out for corpses to raise up a first rate Undead
Usually Necromancers tried their best to recruit any level of h price Even so as Necroeneral it was hard to recruit ht for them in the front line it was a tremendous help to the all over the canyon it was hard to block everywhere
Though it was called a canyon, in terh to allow seven chariots to pass at one tiht alone even after 24 hours of non-stop fighting, it would not be enough
With thearrows and stone at him, it was too much to handle alone
“In the best interest of defending this canyon, I think it would be best to help each other You never knohat is going to happen next, so why not tea her piece, so Weed could not refuse the offer
“Alright”
Deploying the Undead equally it was agree that Weed would fight freely just as before
Necromancers weren’t fit for a party in the first place and this raphic features of the canyon

Co-operating with the other Necromancers, Weed was able to defend the canyon successfully for the eleventh ti bit by bit but the main objectives always remained the same, to defend the canyon
‘The central station of Undead Legion is located behind here’
By getting information from the quests, Weed was able to assume its whereabouts
As reinforcements caion
Weed raised hihter ever since he was a skeleton
That hy he didn’t have a high expectation for the Undeads
But as battles continued, he was given underlings
“Please give your command, lord!”
Every tihts, Dullahans and Skeletons were swearing their obedience to Weed
With every successful quests, either his rank got proht
“Hms
No matter how much you raise the world”
Thus, Weed’s true colours caht in the front line Do not step back Fight until you crush them Kill them all!”
“Yes, lord!”
“We will follow the lord’s command”
“We will carry out the orders of the cos in front of hiht
“Attack, attack, attack!”
The tactics he would often eed the battle onward
The fiercer these ht, there wereopportunities
These Undeads could be revived by Necroion nearby so there was absolutely no need to value theht fiercely but so suddenly happened that even Weed didn’t expect
