How a Catastrophic Necromancer Retired

43 episodes

The team leader immediately rushed to the benefactor Han Ji-hyeok’s request for help.

Waiting for such a team leader were all kinds of skeletons with a strong body.

and······.

“synthesis!”

The team leader who attacks the skeleton with a sword at Han Ji-hyeok’s request.

However, the team leader’s attacks flow sideways with the defensive helmet the skeleton is wearing.

Then, the skeleton takes a step back and takes a defensive stance again.

“crazy······.”

what is it

It feels as if you are fighting a real fighter who is good at two-handed fighting.

“Keep attacking!”

“Oh, I see!”

“in various ways. Cowardice methods are good too!”

“In a cowardly way?”

Then, the team leader, who stared at the skeleton for a while, threw the two daggers he had hidden in his arms and rushed at the same time aiming at the skeleton’s legs.

moon crack. moon crack.

But even such an attack, the skeleton struck both daggers with both hands and then jumped back to avoid it lightly.

“Wow······.”

His movements were different from the worker skeletons he had seen before.

“Chairman Han, what the hell is this?”

“What is it, Summon Suzy?”

“Are you making real battles now?”

Then Han Ji-hyuk shook his head and said.

“no? This is for bodyguards.”

“Shit, guard?”

“Didn’t you feel like you weren’t attacking?”

“uh? Come to think of it······?”

A skeleton that only defended and evaded but did not attack at all.

Han Ji-hyuk said with a smile as if he was in a good mood.

“I’m going to make a bodyguard and get a job as a bodyguard. This guy is a D-class bodyguard, Death Nai… It’s annoying, so let’s just call him Skeleton, because it looks the same.”

But now you are making a skeleton for the bodyguard.

“A level of security that can block Awoken enough. Isn’t this what everyone wants? Here, we plan to release it in various grades.”

The team leader is not a business person, but I felt it instinctively.

This is a business that can’t be done without money.

“…a really enviable ability.”

“It was nothing.”

“By the way, isn’t this enough to not have the attack ability on purpose?”

“Honestly, you are right. The attack function was deliberately removed.”

“May I ask why? If I had the ability to attack, I could send them to the gate to hunt monsters.”

Then Han Ji-hyuk spread out two fingers and then folded one.

“First, the job issue. If you unlock the skeleton and catch monsters, the Awakened will come! It’s amazing, can I stay still?”

Then the team leader, who knew right away, said with a bitter smile.

“It’s going to be a riot, the High Awakeners say they wipe out the low-level monsters.”

In informal terms, the high Awakener enters the lower gate and slaughters monsters in large numbers, called sweeping away.

Of course, this is like A-class awakening Han Ji-hyeok, sweeping away his summoned beasts in all directions.

Even though he is spending his money on business outside, if he sends only summons to dry the seeds of lesser monsters, what kind of good sound will come out of the Awakener’s mouth?

Then Han Ji-hyuk folded his second finger and said.

“Second, money. You know how expensive Awakened bodyguards are, right? I have to give up hunting. So if the level is the same, this one will make more money.”

The team leader, fully understanding, nodded and said.

“understand.”

“If you have an additional attack ability attached to it, and your pets have an accident, it’s a pain in the ass. some kind of safety device? So I took it out altogether.”

“okay.”

Then an idea popped into the head of the team.

“ah! Come to think of it, if it’s for security, the emergency response team will need it too.”

“Emergency response team?”

“Anyway, the emergency response team is not responsible for stopping monsters when an unstable gate opens. It’s perfect because you can block monsters more easily if you use a bodyguard skeleton.”

“Five! That’s a nice idea! That’s why I like the manager.”

Jihyuk Han starts to mutter to himself with his eyes shining.

“We need to reinforce the monster opponent algorithm, but it’s something we have to do anyway, so if we spray the bodyguard first and patch it slowly……. Are you okay?”

At that time, Jihyuk Han looked at the team leader and said.

“But then you lose your emergency response team job, don’t you?”

Then the manager smiled and said.

“Isn’t that right, the emergency response team has a daily shortage of manpower. Besides, if you have a skeleton, you can send the skeleton to the front and fall back when life is dangerous like last time, so it would be rather welcome.”

“Good good. Then consider that.”

When an unstable gate appears, a security skeleton is sent to block it, and in the meantime, the power measurement is completed, and then an appropriate emergency response team is sent.

In this way, it was clear that the probability of an accident could be greatly reduced and the work put on the emergency response team would be greatly reduced.

“ah! Come to think of it, you said earlier that you were going to release by grade, to what level is it possible?”

“Class B.”

Then the manager, who was silent for a moment, said:

“Honestly, no matter how you look at it, I don’t think you are a Class A Awakener.”

How can you summon more than 10,000 skeletons and create a summoned beast comparable to that of a B-class Awakener?

Then Han Ji-hyuk shrugged and said.

“Think of it. Anyway, let’s continue the experiment. oh If you have subordinates who are off-duty, could you please ask for help? We have to do F-class and E-class experiments, and there are still plenty of things to experiment with, such as how many high-level bodyguard skeletons can handle low-ranking Awakeneds.”

*

A world where no one knows when they will wake up.

Of course, criminals are no exception, so people were implicitly afraid of the Awoken with strong force.

This is especially true for people with a lot of money.

If I can forget it, the thing that popped out was the threat of kidnapping from the Awakened.

Among them, Yeo Woon-gu, chairman of Yeo-ryeong Group, the 23rd largest in the business world, was famous for being obsessed with safety.

That’s because he had experiences of being kidnapped by an Awakener with malicious intent and subjected to horrific things while he was still the heir.

Fortunately, the guild sponsored by his father, who was the president at the time, came out and rescued Yeo Woon-gu, but the trauma he suffered at that time made Yeo Woon-gu obsessed with safety.

Of course, what he cares most about his own safety is the security team made up of Awakened people.

However, the main axis of the security team suddenly began to shake.

“Chairman, I’ve been patient because of my relationship with you, but I don’t think it’s going to happen anymore.”

The chief of the security department, who is an A-class awakener and the most trusted by Yeo Woon-gu, has notified him of his resignation.

“Chief Park, is it because your salary is low?”

“no. On the contrary, I think I received too much.”

“Don’t do this, Director Park. Is it because you don’t know how much I trust Director Park?”

Then Director Park said with a bitter expression.

“I know. So it was even more difficult to talk about it. But I can’t do it any more. Now, I am also 40 the day after tomorrow, and I want to challenge myself one step higher before it is too late.”

Due to the nature of the awakening person who becomes stronger by hunting monsters, the bodyguard awakening was practically nothing other than giving up on growth.

Yeo Woon-gu said hurriedly.

“Well, then, I’ll put my resignation on hold and give you a vacation, so how about coming back leisurely?”

Director Park shook his head and said.

“The challenge is also a challenge, but in fact, I was too tired mentally.”

It’s not common to watch and practice by someone’s side every day, but Yeo Woon-gu is a person who gets anxious even if Director Park leaves his side even a little bit.

Naturally, Director Park, who has been through such a life for too long, is now exhausted.

“Even if it’s not me, there are other bodyguards, so don’t worry too much.”

Then Yeo Woon-gu said with a sullen expression.

“If you leave out Director Park, there will be two B-class people, and the rest are all low-level awakeners. If a class A attacks me, is there any way I can respond only with a security team without Director Park?”

The number of Class A Awakeneds is about a thousand people in all of Korea.

Naturally, it is extremely rare for such a high-ranking awakening person to be a dedicated bodyguard for an individual.

If such a manager leaves the company, Yeo Woon-gu is bound to suffer from anxiety.

Director Park, who is aware of Yeo Woon-goo’s situation, makes my heart even more heavy.

“···after. Then we will hold on a little longer until we find a replacement.”

Yeo Woon-gu smiled brightly and said.

“I, really? Thanks, Manager Park! Thank you so much!”

“Instead, it’s only been a month. From then on, I will live for my family and myself.”

“Yes, yes. I’ll try to save them somehow. Thank you, Director Park!”

*

“…you have been rejected.”

Yeo Woon-gu was impressed with the words of the executive who was instructed to hire a new bodyguard to replace Director Park.

“Did you offer enough money?”

“I did. I offered to triple my income at the gate … but was rejected.”

“What is the reason?”

“You say you don’t want your life to be limited.”

From the standpoint of the awakened who is already earning enough money, the 3D industry of the awakening industry is the security work that has to give up growth and pay attention all day long.

Yeo Woon-gu said with a long sigh.

“I can feel how precious Park was.”

Yeo Woon-goo realized how much devotion Park had devoted to himself and how difficult it was for the awakened.

“Some of the Class C and D Awoken are positive, but they are asking for 5x.”

Most of the people who accept the proposal, however, are Awakened people who have virtually given up on growth.

As a result, there were many cases of asking for large sums of money with the intention of earning a lot of money.

However, there are not even such awakenings, so the only thing that cannot be saved is this floor of the awakened bodyguards.

“after. There is no choice but to fill in the quantity if the quality is insufficient. Say you know.”

“Yes, Chairman. Then deal with it that way…”

Then a call comes in from the president’s extension phone.

“Yes. what happened.”

Then the secretary said.

-Chairman, I have received a call from Chairman Han Ji-hyeok of the Seron Group.

“The Seron group?”

The Ceron Group has recently expanded its business at a frightening pace and is certain to become one of the largest conglomerates in the near future.

– You seem to be looking for a bodyguard, but if you are interested, please contact me.

Then, Yeo Woon-gu jumped up from his seat and said:

“Is that true?”

Han Ji-hyeok, who is no one else and is a Class A Awakened person, is contacting him regarding a bodyguard.

Yeo Woon-gu shouted loudly.

“Call me right now and make an appointment… No, give me your phone number! I will contact you directly!”

*

“welcome.”

Yeo Woon-goo, who led the security team with Director Park to the promised place.

Yeo Woon-gu said as he shook hands with me.

“Nice to meet you, Chairman Han. It’s the first time I’ve seen it like this.”

“haha. Yes. The Yeoryung group has no business overlapping with us.”

Then, Yeo Woon-gu looked around and said.

“By the way, you mentioned bodyguards, but where are they?”

As I’ve heard, I feel obsessed with safety from the first meeting.

I said pointing to the warehouse.

“This is it. Come in.”

So Woon-goo Yeo took my guidance and entered the warehouse.

Then, Yeo Woon-gu looked at the skeletons lined up in the warehouse and said with a surprised expression.

“Skeleton?”

It’s no surprise that skeletons have already traveled all over the country, but these skeletons were different.

Because they were armed with hard armor, unlike skeletons that only had bones.

“Let me introduce you. It’s a bodyguard skeleton.”

Then, Yeo Woon-gu said with a puzzled expression.

“Was the bodyguard you talked about a skeleton?”

“Yes.”

“I know that skeletons don’t have combat power, but you use them as bodyguards?”

“To be precise, it’s not that it doesn’t exist, it’s that I didn’t make it. I don’t feel the need to do it. But recently, people’s demand for safety has increased, so I grabbed each and made it this time.”

Then, after hesitating for a while, Yeo Woon-gu said:

“The bodyguard I want is level enough to deal with the Awoken.”

“After all, it would be faster to show than to talk at length, right? Do you have an F-class?”

Then a bodyguard raises his hand.

“I am an F-class.”

“OK.”

As I snapped my finger, an F-class bodyguard skeleton came up to me and stood next to me.

“From now on, I will not move even a single step. If you succeed in breaking through this skeleton’s defense and attacking me, I will reward you.”

At my words, the bodyguard glanced at Yeo Woon-gu, and as she nodded her head, she glanced at her and ran to her in an instant.

Then the skeleton was blocking my way.

From then on, the workshop between the skeleton and the bodyguard began.

To be precise, the one-sided attack of the bodyguard and the skeleton that keeps blocking it.

As the attack continued to block, the bodyguard suddenly turned around and gave a fake, running towards me, raising his hand, either because his pride had been hurt.

At that time, a skeleton wraps around me and defends the bodyguard’s fist with its body.

“Oooh!”

Yeo Woon-gu, who was amazed at the sight, said.

“Is this… more than I imagined?”

I said to the bodyguard standing there with a puzzled expression.

“You suffered. Of course, the attack is a failure, so there is no heavy reward.”

I said as I walked to Yeo Woon-gu.

“As you can see, the bodyguard skeleton is a skeleton focused on security. We prioritize the safety of our guards over our own body. If it’s to protect the bodyguard, I’ll even save my life… Oh, of course I don’t have any lives, but anyway. Plus, they don’t eat or sleep, so you have literally 24/7 security.”

Yeo Woon-gu opened his mouth wide and said.

“24 hours… close security?”

okay.

How safe?

They say that they will protect you when you sleep.

oh Come to think of it, when I wake up and see a skeleton face, I might be shocked and fainted.

This will need some improvement.

Shall I put on a helmet?

Then, Yeo Woon-gu said with his eyes shining.

“Skeleton for 24-hour close security against the Awakened.”

“I don’t even have to worry about betrayal. why? I am the owner of this skeleton. Is there anyone else in the world who has a stronger identity than me?”

Aren’t I the president of the Ceron Group and the entrepreneur representing Gunsan?

At least that means there’s no reason to be greedy for money.

Yeo Woon-gu nodded and said.

“Very satisfied.”

“Yes?”

“However, if there is only one thing that I regret, it would be skill. I was now looking for a bodyguard to fill the vacancy of Director Park.”

At that, I shrugged and said.

“If that’s the case, then you don’t have to worry about it. The end that this skeleton just walked over is an F-class skeleton, then an E-class, then a D-class, and the last is a B-class bodyguard skeleton.”

Yeo Woon-goo and his bodyguards immediately realized what watering meant by my words.

“B, B-class!?”

I said to those who were astonished.

“How are you? You can rent this bodyguard skeleton according to the level you want. If you are curious, you can experiment.”
