Chapter 39 (1/2)
The wall was crumpled like a sheet of paper when they hit it.
‘When they are done changing into monsters, we can’t beat them.’
Sungwoo instinctively sensed it. ‘But they are not done yet.’
“Now is the time!”
“Pardon?”
While Jisu and Hanho were hesitating, the skeletons jumped at their swelling bodies.
Puk! Puk! Puk!
And the skeletons started cutting them indiscriminately.
The reason they changed into monsters was because they failed to adapt to the situation. And the moment they chose to run away at this moment, their fate was decided.

“I’m sorry, but I can’t help it.”
The two boys who were attacked while being changed into monsters counterattacked awkwardly when they were beaten by the skeletons. Losing their minds, they wielded their arms instinctively.
Then, their strong blow smashed one orc skeleton.
Sungwoo was embarrassed. Obviously their counterattack was far from adroit.
Puk!
They just stretched their arms not to counterattack but for defense. But the orc skeleton’s bones were thrown in all directions.

Fortunately, they were slowly collapsing. Come to think of it, even the word ‘slowly’ was ridiculous because they slowly fell even when they were stabbed with the axe dozens of times.
-You have earned 3,000 gold by hunting a Werewolf.
-You have earned 3000 gold by hunting a Werewolf.
-You have leveled up. (LV. 8)
“What?” Sungwoo blurted it out unwittingly. 3,000 gold for each one? It was only 240 gold for one Dire Wolf.
How was it possible that the two boys were changed into such malicious monsters?
‘It was a close call.’
Even Sungwoo felt relieved that the two boys were knocked down before they fully transformed.
“…This was a big deal.”
In other words, this was a happy occasion.
-The dead have become the subordinate under your authority.
-The dead have become the subordinate under your authority.
Sungwoo could resurrect them as mid-sized monsters. He earned something big as a bonus, namely Werewolf skeletons.

Werewolf. Two skeletons, slightly larger than orcs, slowly straightened their backs. The thickness of their bones did not differ significantly from those of orcs. However, given the thick color or gloss shining inside their white bones, they looked much more solid.
“With this solid build, can this fight the vampire one-on-one?” Sungho murmured.
Vampires are so powerful that only when all the skeletons launch a coordinated attack, they would be killed.
That was the case of the lesser vampire that Sungwoo’s party confronted.
So, Sungwoo wondered whether the Werewolves could be overwhelming enough to knock them down when he confronted them.
-Choose your level up card.
1) Stat (Random)
2) Skill (Random)
3) Items (Random)
4) Other (Random)
5) Increase in Physical strength by 2 (Confirmed)
Meanwhile, Sungwoo agonized over the level-up card.
There was one thing that bothered him every time he encountered an enemy with excellent intellect like a vampire.
‘If they find out I’m the one who controls the skeletons, they’re going to kill me.’
Actually, the two vampires he faced were obsessed with killing him. He could be killed with the slightest mistake. When he came across them, there was no guarantee that he could avoid them well like before. That’s why he chose the first one which was a random increase in stat.
-Agility has increased. (+3)
This time he got a pretty decent option. He thought that he should care about his stats sometimes.
“Wow, it looks like an Egyptian god.”
Hanho seemed to be thinking of Anubis. In a way, it could look so because it had slightly dark bones like a dog’s.
On the other hand, the children were in a panic.
“Minsik…”
“Ah.”
They could not be shocked because their two friends turned into monsters before their eyes.
Sungwoo passed by them and stood in front of Taesung.
“Where is the store?”
Taesung seemed stunned by Sungwoo’s calm attitude who was looking for the store in this situation, but he nodded and said, “In fact, there is one thing I couldn’t tell you because I was absent-minded…”
