How a Calamity Necromancer Retires

The players who ran for a while clinging to the skeleton’s back saw 2,000 undead monsters gathered in an orderly fashion.

“Is that it? That’s what the president said.”

“that’s right.”

At the sudden instruction of Han Ji-hyeok, each of them received a skeleton and arrived at a loss, but all of them are veteran players who have seen countless group battles.

“Our team will lead the way.”

“Then we’ll go back.”

The players decided on a location in an instant and started besieging the monsters.

Then, the monsters who recognized that they were surrounded went into alert mode, and then started a full-scale battle.

The players expected that the battle would not be so difficult because they brought a skeleton twice as large.

But that expectation was wrong.

“uh… uh?!”

Contrary to the expectation of just indiscriminate battles without intellect, the monsters move organically like a legion.

Monsters trying to break through the siege by concentrating their troops in one place.

Then, the player who was taken aback by the fierce attack said.

“Mi, pushed!”

The player who decided that it couldn’t be done like this said to other players through a group call on the messenger application that was turned on in advance.

“Please help those who can afford it! These guys are focusing their attacks this way!”

– I’ll go!

A nearby player drags his or her skeleton and forms a thick encirclement.

However, as the encirclement became thicker, the monsters who were fiercely attacking suddenly retreated back.

“uh?”

And then.

-Ahh! These guys suddenly push!

A player who just noticed that another player was in a similar situation.

The player said with a blank expression.

“Is this something familiar?”

Then the player who came to support said.

“what?”

“These guys are trying to break through to the other side because it’s not possible to break through on our side right now.”

“uh?”

“Isn’t this something we often experienced during group battles?”

This is something we have always experienced in group battles in which each other tries to exploit the opponent’s loopholes and bites each other’s strategy.

“Does this feel like fighting against those monsters? As if someone was controlling it from behind.”

“… no way.”

“Or do they really have intelligence?”

I thought about it for a while, but it was meaningless.

Those monsters came out of the gate, and the gate is still an unknown place where nothing has been scientifically revealed.

“Anyway, if it’s a number fight, you can’t lose even more. How long have we been here to practice and play! is not it?”

“of course! I don’t know anything else, but if I lost in a head fight, would I be embarrassed to live my life as a player?”

“good. Let’s do it. Let’s show these cheeky skeletons what a strategy is!”

* * *

“Chur uh uh!”

The meat golem that defeated the last team.

But the price was exorbitant.

The regeneration speed was noticeably slowed by the continuous wave attacks of as many as 1,000 S-rank skeletons, and the meat golem was cornered to such an extent that it would not be strange to call it a tattered golem rather than a meat golem.

“Good! Now it is my turn!”

After confirming that the time was ripe, I snapped my fingers, and all 4,000 except for the 4,000 who went to stop the other undead army rushed at the meat golem.

The all-out attack of all the undead corps, including not only the SS ranks, but also the highest rank Death Knights I made with all my heart and soul.

Against the all-out attack of the undead corps, the meat golem wielded its huge arms and fought desperately.

coo king!

Skeletons were smashed by the giant arms, but the skeletons lacking reason just attack the meat golem according to the set algorithm.

Swing your sword, embed your weapon into your flesh.

Thousands of skeletons surrounded and attacked from all sides, and from time to time, high-ranking skeletons of SS rank or higher suddenly attacked and attacked, making the meat golem weaker and weaker.

“Now we just need to destroy the core.”

I took out a pile of bones from the subspace and extracted the morale.

And black morale piled up on my fingertips as much as the amount of bones that were broken and scattered like powder.

“It ends in one shot, in one shot.”

Even while preparing to deliver the final blow, the undead legion and the meat golem continue a desperate struggle.

As SS-levels continue to surprise, the Meat Golem now understands and responds to even that.

Thanks to that, the SS ranks are also destroyed one by one.

Of course, Meat Golem also continues to take damage equal to that every time it destroys SS-class units one by one, and the end of this fight gradually begins to appear.

That time when you hold your breath and prepare for the final blow.

The sword of the highest-ranking Death Knight, the strongest undead I currently possess, cuts the meat golem’s chest long, emitting black sword energy, and at that moment, the meat golem’s behavior changes.

“Chur uh uh!”

The Meat Golem suddenly stopped all attacks and crouched down.

I said with a bright smile.

“Now!”

I don’t know anything else, but I remember this one thing for sure.

When meat golems find themselves in an unavoidable situation, the algorithm is designed to condense all flesh around the core to maximize defense and then escape.

Once the escape is successful, as long as the nuclear core remains intact, recovery is possible.

So now is your chance.

When the flesh is condensed, it cannot move inside the flesh, so the core is fixed in the center.

The flesh has just begun to condense, and the defense is still weak, and the core has moved to the center for protection. Now is the best time to deliver the blow I have been waiting for.

“Die, you bastard!”

The morale gathered at my fingertips shoots out like a laser, penetrating the center of the crouching meat golem.

Then, the meat golem suddenly stopped moving.

But it just stopped working and nothing changed.

“what. What happened? Are you breaking?”

Did I miss it?

Or maybe the nucleus was on its way to the center, but was fired too hastily before it had reached the center yet?

At that time when I had so many arrogant thoughts.

The meat golem’s flesh slowly begins to crumble.

I clenched my fist and said.

“yes! Success!”

Frankly, I was lucky.

I’ve been using the players in advance to study the meat golem strategy, and I was able to figure out the weakest point as I was the meat golem’s maker, and thanks to the meat golem’s weakening as it broke through the gate, I caught it relatively easily. This meat golem would have been the scourge of mankind.

“hahahahaha! did i say The day it comes out is your memorial day… Not the day it came out. Hmmm. anyway.”

Defeated one of the 5 strongest battle weapons.

That means that if you prepare as hard as you do now, you will be able to stop the undead army.

At that time, the players who went to deal with the other undead legions came to mind.

“I am going right now. Please block it well.”

* * *

I ordered the surviving undead army to guard the remains of the Meat Golem and flew straight to the players.

And what I saw there… … .

“Right support!”

“I am going right now!”

It looked like 70 players, each with 60 skeletons, moving organically, surrounding and annihilating the undead army.

“You are doing well.”

Even though they are not floating in the sky like me watching the battlefield situation, they use the experience they have accumulated in group battles to efficiently operate their skeletons, and the Serron Undead Corps struggles with the strategies of such players.

“As expected, the more field commanders, the better.”

In the meantime, I’ve been commanding all the undead corps by myself.

From strategy planning to detailed troop control.

Of course, in this way, I can manage to command in a large-scale battle against large corps, but in a wide and extensive battle, it is true that I could not control each detail one by one due to the limitations of my mental power.

But if there are players like that, it’s enough to fill that lacking part.

“Good, good.”

My knowledge of the undead army and even the commander of a small unit that was not in Ceron.

This is the advantage of the Earth Undead Corps that the Seron Undead Corps did not have.

“Originally, I was going to intervene and deal with it right away… You’re doing well, so wait a bit.”

Because the experience of such a large-scale battle becomes all flesh and bones.

I said with a smile on my face.

“Eat a lot and grow up.”

* * *

The players and I succeeded in dealing with the giant meat golem I named SR-class and the large-scale undead monsters that suddenly appeared.

“Thank you for your hard work, Chairman.”

At Park In-gwi’s words, I smiled and said.

“I usually say it wasn’t a big deal, but this time it’s a big deal, so it’s right that you worked hard. Ah-oh. it’s tough.”

I stretched out and said.

“How is the atmosphere?”

“Every scene is broadcast live to the whole world by drone, and people are cheering for you.”

“okay?”

“yes. In addition, public opinion that the SR class is too exaggerated also went into it.”

Anyone can see that it shows Awakener-level movements, and it’s understandable since I saw thousands of skeletons, including skeletons that could be compared to SS-levels, run into piles in real time.

“I’m not sure if I’m going to lie.”

“Anyway, it seems that the favorability of the skeleton will go up as the loss of life has been minimized thanks to it.”

“okay. Good up to there. the players.”

“All of them are outstanding and continue to make their names in the media.”

It’s a natural thing to say because he proved his skills in real battles beyond simply competing in the arena.

“I wonder what to do with using the skeleton again to get in and out of the gate.”

“Perhaps it is.”

“That’s not allowed. This is because it is an emergency, and a player must remain a player forever.”

Aside from the resistance of the Awakeners, isn’t it troublesome when players and skeletons are consumed while hunting monsters?

Moreover, hunting monsters and fighting the undead army are completely different.

So, having a group battle in the arena is the most effective training effect.

That’s when I had a brief conversation with Park In-gwi.

“Congratulations, Chairman Han.”

A Chinese diplomat came up to me and congratulated me.

“Congratulations should come from China.”

“I am speechless. I shouldn’t have congratulated you, but I should have said thank you first. hahahaha.”

“It’s okay, as long as you compensate me with money. see. Of the skeletons lost this time, there are roughly 2,000 of them, excluding those made with Chinese subsidies. Please include this in your compensation.”

Then the diplomat spoke in an urgent voice.

“Well, even if you don’t, I have something to tell you about it.”

“I can’t afford it.”

“Not that… The financial situation of our government is not right now. So, by the way, can’t we pay the compensation slowly?”

The support money was literally paid immediately with the money that China supported to create a new skeleton, but the compensation for the consumption of the skeleton I made before was the money I promised to pay after the situation was over, that is, debt.

They say that they can’t afford to pay it in lump sum, so they want to pay in parts.

I said with a smile.

“I thought I might be talking about something else after work, but you’re surprised?”

Even if you usually give it if you think of Chinese tendencies, it’s not strange to wash your mouth once the case is all over.

“We, China, keep what we promise.”

what… More than that, I felt my power through this situation, and if a monster like that appears again, it’s obvious that I came out in a low profile because I needed my help, but there’s no need to say it out loud.

It’s me, as long as I get the money for sure.

Anyway, installments are not my taste.

“Why don’t we turn it into an asset instead?”

“ruler… mountain?”

“There are a lot of Chinese public enterprises and a lot of land.”

Even if it wasn’t, I couldn’t buy it because I didn’t have money, so I’m using my debt to do additional shopping.

The amount that China has to compensate me is 30 trillion won in Korean money.

Then the diplomat freaked out and said.

“Now, assets.”

“What key asset did I ask for? If you give me a list of things like 2nd or 3rd, I’ll pick one.”

I said with a bright smile.

“Thanks to me, human casualties were reduced, so I have to do this much. isn’t it?”

* * *

I received praise from all over the world for stopping the Meat Golem.

And players as well as me enjoy world-class popularity, and the skeleton league spreads more and more around the world.

In case of emergency, it was confirmed that if a Skeleton League player received only a skeleton for combat from me, it would be of great help in dealing with monsters, so foreign countries began to actively encourage it.

At the time when the meat golem’s aftermath spread to the world, I was worried about another problem.

“An undead army appears from the gates around me.”

This case made it all the more certain.

So far, the undead army has appeared 4 times, and all of them have appeared not too far from where I am.

The farthest was Mongolia, and since I was in Beijing at the time, the distance is about 1,000 km, which is about the distance from Jeju Island to the northernmost part of North Korea.

The problem is that 1,000 km from Gunsan, where I usually live, includes the entire country of South Korea and North Korea, as well as half of Japan and most of China’s densely populated coastal cities.

“All of the most populated places in the world are within range.”

Even this is at least this much.

“This time, I was lucky enough to appear in the Great Plains and save time. If a meat golem appeared in the middle of a big city… … .”

It’s a catastrophe.

Probably the city will be completely destroyed and there will be a huge loss of life.

I said a moment of silence.

“… Can I stay here?”

A situation where I myself have become a kind of disaster.

Isn’t that why you can’t go to Antarctica or a place like this where there are no people?

“You don’t have to be in business to make money. And you have to earn money to create an undead army.”

You can’t stay here and you can’t leave.

I thought for a moment, then opened my eyes and said.

“for a moment. Are gates always created only on land?”

I don’t know why, but there has never been a case where a gate has been created above or below the sea.

In other words, if I am on an island surrounded by sea, I can specify the location of the gate where the undead army will appear.

“Shall we buy an uninhabited island and use it as a base?”

Then use the power prepared in advance to destroy them on the spot, or if you run out of power, run away to expand your power and then deal with the remaining ones on the island.

I said with my eyes shining.

“Anyway, my undead army doesn’t have a swimming algorithm. Is this perfect?”

As it is an undead legion with an algorithm designed to avoid entering the deep sea at all while avoiding water as much as possible since they only engage in land battles in Seron, leaving them on the island will literally blockade them.

“It’s more perfect because the supersonic jet will be released soon.”

A supersonic dedicated aircraft made to fly at Mach 2 to urgently intervene anytime, anywhere.

Considering the speed of this supersonic jet, a distance of 1,000 km can be secured even if it is only 30 minutes away from Korea.

Considering that Japan is in the middle, an uninhabited island 2 hours away makes it easy to get to and from, and safety is secured when in a hurry.

“You can’t cut yourself off from the world if you want to do business anyway. So, we made a system that allows us to come and go to Korea at any time within two hours, and we do business going back and forth between Korea and an uninhabited island.”

Even just like this, the risk to the undead army would be greatly reduced.

As the thought reaches this point, other thoughts creep up.

“But wouldn’t it be boring to be on a deserted island?”

In the first place, my goal was to retire peacefully with people, but suddenly I was stranded on an uninhabited island.

Just thinking about it is terrifying.

“Anyway, the pilots and flight attendants of the private jet must have a place to live, and they have to coordinate their business, so they need an office. Then the secretaries and key personnel must also be present.”

Anyway, as many people, including me, have to live, in case of an emergency, when the undead army appears, not to mention a safe place to hide and an evacuation method, other infrastructure must be made to a level suitable for living.

“You have to have essentials like electricity and water, and employees are people too, so you don’t need something to play with. Besides, if you are away from your family for a long time, dissatisfaction will build up, so you make a resort so that your family can stop by at any time… … .”

As personal greed begins to grow, the plan for the uninhabited island grows larger and larger.

Not only the airport, but also entertainment facilities and various living convenience facilities.

In addition, as more people are added to manage such amenities, the number of people staying also increases.

“No, what… This is almost the level of developing a new city?”

After writing down the uninhabited island development plan spontaneously, I was silent for a while.

“Let’s just do it.”

Although the number of people staying has increased, it has to be this much crowded to taste people’s life.

In addition, since a large undead army is planned to be deployed all over the island, even if the other 5 decisive battle weapons come out, you can do as much as you can to take the time and safely escape.

“When I retire anyway, buying an island near the equator and using it as a personal vacation island was on my bucket list.”

So, take this opportunity to find an island as large as possible and develop an uninhabited island for personal recreation and blockade of the undead army.

Your own island that is fun and safe at the same time.

“nice. It’s thrilling just thinking about it.”

It was perfect because he could prepare for retirement and isolate the undead army.

“This is the real Sheron Land. good. Let’s develop an uninhabited island.”
