From Skeleton Soldiers to King of the Undead

"My partner who was born in hell, please answer my call and come to me from afar..."

Philip recited a spell, and the magic circle carved on the ground emitted a wave of magic power.

This shows that the spell is half successful. The target will definitely perceive the summoning message. Whether it wants to come or not is another matter.

…

On the other side, in the cave,

"Ding ding ding, ding ding ding..." Roja was poking at the stone with his spear.

Damn, this pile of rocks is finally about to be cleared.

After several days of hard work, long-term energy cannon bombardment and several excavations in colonial costumes, the place is finally open.

Even the skeleton moose had already fallen into a weak state due to firing too many energy cannons in succession, and was put back into the mount space to rest.

"Ding ding ding..."

[Gunmanship (Elite 496/1000)]

Roja used a lunge and thrust movement to break the rocks while improving his proficiency, and was about to break through the 500 mark.

Still a little worse, still a little worse...

While he was focusing on "quarrying", a strange feeling suddenly appeared in his mind.

Um? This is……

Roja stopped and felt it carefully.

At this time, lines of illusory text appeared on the panel:

[The Skeleton Knight sensed the summons of the contract partner "Philip the Necromancer", but the other party's magic power was not enough to support such a powerful existence transmission]

[Mission: Contract Summons! 】

[Option 1: Philip, I want you to help me practice! Note: Send an undead to Philip to help him increase his magic power. The total magic power increase will be converted into free points according to the original contract content. Difficulty: D, reward: experience +50, strength +0.2]

[Note: The strength of the undead chosen to be teleported should be within the range of Philip's magic power - about the level of a newly born skeleton monster]

[Option 2: Philip, go play in the mud! Note: Ignore Philip's call. Difficulty: E, reward: experience +10, strength +0.1]

[Note: Please complete your selection before the summoning spell ends! 】

It turns out to be Philip!

Roja felt a rare sense of intimacy.

It can be inferred from the description of the options that the boy is in a secret environment and is not in danger.

So this summoning is probably just a simple experiment.

There are only two options, and there is almost no need to think about it. The improvement of Phillip's magic power is also good for him.

Hmm, does it turn out that controlling more undead can increase a necromancer's magic power?

This is really powerful, but there should be limitations.

Roja touched his chin,

The only thing he had to consider was where to find the monster sent to Philip.

Time is limited, but this is deep in the Undead Mountains, and the weakest monster is probably ten times stronger than the newly born skeleton monster...

Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration and came to the entrance area of ​​the cave.

The previous skeleton, whose identity was a mystery, lay quietly in place.

The only robes, boots and accessories that could possibly identify him were all stripped off by Roya.

The rest of his clothes were completely torn, exposing his dark yellow bones, so no one would be able to tell who he really was during his lifetime.

Logically speaking, without the protection of the pendant, this skeleton should have turned into a skeleton monster long ago.

The strange thing is that although Roja could see a faint aura on his body, the dead body did not stand up again.

Could it be that it has been too long and osteoporosis has occurred?

No matter what, the only thing that can be sent is this skeleton.

This may not be considered a monster, but it would be good for Philip to study the mysteries of the human skeleton when he has nothing to do.

Besides, what if this counts as completing the mission?

Roja knelt down and picked up the bones that had long since fallen apart.

With a thought in his mind, magic power surged in front of him, and a blue circular magic circle covered with complicated patterns appeared on the ground.

This is Philip's summoning spell, and the other end is connected to his house.

"Wow."

Roja held a pile of loose bones and threw them in, then picked up the remaining ones on the ground and threw them in.

【mission completed! Experience +50, strength +0.2】

He clapped his hands.

OK, mission accomplished.

I hope Philip will not dislike this gift too much.

…

The following inner monologue belongs to a skeleton who was the "High Priest of the Church of Light" during his lifetime:

"My name is Wallace, and I am the favorite illegitimate son of the most powerful cardinal in the Church of Light, so I will definitely be a cardinal in the future and be able to have many mistresses and illegitimate children."

"That year, when I was promoted to the position of high priest, one of the congratulatory gifts I received was a diary of the legendary dragon knight, Cat-Man Kate."

"I was very curious about the dragon's lair, and imagined that there might be a lot of gold coins and gems buried in it, so I took some guards and set out to find the abandoned lair of the dragon Triss."

"Unfortunately, we found Triss' lair and met a necromancer who was practicing secretly in the Undead Mountains. Of course, the fiercest battle broke out as soon as the two parties met."

"The necromancer was seriously injured and escaped, and all my guards died on the spot. I relied on my equipment to escape to Triss's lair, but I soon couldn't hold on and died. My soul hid in the pendant and fell into a deep sleep."

"I don't know how long it took, but the pendant was broken. I woke up and found that my body had turned into a withered skeleton. Woohoo! I turned into the undead I hate most! Or an ugly and weak skeleton monster!"

"Moreover, I didn't dare to move at all, and even used secret techniques to extinguish the fire of my soul, because there is an undead here who is much stronger than me. I feel that he can kill me with his eyes. Although I hate undead , but I am more afraid of death..."

"Until this day, the undead came again and threw my body into the summoning circle! Guess what I see now? Holy light! Another damn necromancer! Or a poor kid. !”

Wallace's skull rolled twice on the ground and stopped shaking. A pair of empty eyes stared at the boy with a face full of horror.

"What, what is this?!" Phillip looked shocked.

Of course he would not mistake a withered skeleton for his contracted undead, but he just couldn't figure out why this thing appeared.

"Could it be that other garbage was accidentally sucked in after the summoning failed?" The young man murmured to himself, speculating.

"You actually called me trash!" Wallace was a little angry.

In this case, his mind suddenly changed:

"I don't want to die! I've become undead anyway, and the Holy Light can't blame me for falling into darkness...

“As such a weak skeleton monster, following a necromancer is a better choice.

"But the premise is that I can't be used as cannon fodder by him! I must show my precious value!

"Hmph, a little kid from a poor background, who has never seen much of the world, and I show a little bit of ability, and he still doesn't regard me as the legendary ancient heroic spirit and treat me with respect?"

Thinking of this, under Philip's surprised gaze, Wallace began to piece together his body.

After a while, a skeleton stood up.

It stretched out a finger gracefully and slowly carved a profound magical text on the wall.

This scene left the young man stunned.

Just when Wallace was quite satisfied with his hand,

"What kind of monster are you doing! Stay away from me! Water rejuvenation!"

A finger-thick high-pressure water jet hit his forehead, causing his head to fly out!

Thanks to "psycho" and "K2 Metallic Paint" for the point reward
