Chapter 97 - Necromancer, 1st Awakening (5)
“Damn it! It’s really over…”
All the fighting scenes were faithfully being broadcast live by the camera operator with a thorough sense of mission. Those watching the scene in the chat room were more shocked than when they witnessed Junghoo’s helpless defeat.
Kuaaaaaaah!
The fight wasn’t over yet.
Roaring violently, Drake began to run in the direction where Necromancer was thrown.
He broke and crushed the tree before disappearing into the forest.
“Oh, it’s not over yet. We don’t know yet.”
Sungwoo grabbed it unwittingly.
-You have completed the exclusive quest <Who is the Master of Death?> with ‘Target Acquisition’.
* Rewards are given. (1st Awakening, Exclusive Skill)
* Your destiny changes subtly.
***
Ahhhhhhh!
Drake burned the Necromancer, then raised its head and roared.
The camera operator captured the scene on the screen. In fact, he couldn’t move, stuck in that place.
“Sungwoo!”
“Hey, Sungwoo!”
Sungwoo’s party ran out of Youido Park, but they stiffened, watching the horrible scene before their eyes.
Clank!
Jisu let go of her sword, watching Sungwoo’s body still burning.
The Crusader Team members and other friendly forces began to walk out one by one.
They managed to defeat the ambush by the crazy Lizardmen, but that’s all they could do. They couldn’t come to Sunwoo’s rescue.
“Oh, even the Necromancer.”
“Cough! We failed… Sungwoo…”
Minhum walked out, supporting the injured Junghoon. Although Junghoon came to senses, he could hardly stand on his own.
“Commander, we have to retreat.”
“I think so. Sorry, Sungwoo.”
They turned slowly.
Right at that moment a message suddenly appeared before their eyes.
– Caution! The ‘Fellblade’ begins in the affected area.
“Uh?”
“What the heck?”
“Sungwoo!”
Sungwoo’s body slowly began to float into the air, and a black mist overflowed from his body.
Krrrrrrrr…
Even Drake began to step back, full of caution. The black mist filled the area around the IFC Mall.
Wooooooooong!
Suddenly, a gust gathered and pushed out the black smoke. Then, an unknown green wave began in the middle of the gust.
Someone shouted.
“It’s the Necromancer!”
Right there, Sungwoo, with some bones of his face and arms revealed, stood, holding a huge black sickle.
“Is he the Necromancer? That is…”
He was Lich.
At that moment, a bizarre sound was heard inside Youido Park and beyond the forest.
Rattle! Rattle! Rattle!
A huge number of something was coming from the battlefield where the battle had ended.
***
The moment Sungwoo saw a black sickle dimly in the dark and grabbed it unwittingly, he felt the sensations of his whole body revived.
“…..Uuuuuuuuuh!”
He felt like all the pain, which he felt when his flesh and intestines melted in the flames, had engulfed his body and crushed his central nervous system, but soon his pain started to stop. Rather, he became numb to it.
When he opened his eyes, he was floating in the air.
-You have completed the exclusive quest <Who is the Master of Death?> with ‘Target Acquisition’.
* Rewards are given. (1st Awakening, Exclusive Skill)
* Your destiny changes subtly.
The place where Death Scythe, the “Grim Reaper,” was located was really “in death”. The moment his breathing stopped, the quest conditions were satisfied.
-You have been ‘resurrected’ with the Necromancer’s job trait. (Waiting time 31 days)
And by obtaining the Death Scythe, Sungwoo reached a certain level.
-You have reached the ‘1st Awakening State.’
* You can summon the masterpiece, ‘Grim Reaper’.
* You can resurrect a large monster as your subordinate spirit.
-A ‘Secret Store Coupon’ is given as a result of your achievement of the ‘1st Awakening’ for the 9th time in history (Limited to 50 people)

“Whew…”
Sungwoo breathed in. He didn’t know how the air was going in and out of his mouth. Obviously, he didn’t have a human body now.
The bones were still exposed in half of his face, and both arms, including his shoulders, had no flesh. In other words, Sungwoo was in the shape of undead Lich, whose whole body was tattered.
‘Well, I don’t feel that bad.’
He moved his stiff neck and looked around. Drake was wandering nearby, on full alert.
Obviously, Drake felt Sungwoo had changed.
Sungwoo’s friendly forces flocked to Youido Park and watched him. Jisu and Hanho were watching him, full of worry, and the camera was still operating behind them.
Rattle! Rattle!
As if on cue, a huge number of white demons began to crawl out. It was as if the forest collapsed, pouring out white bones.
They were 16 beast skeletons, 50 Lizardmen skeletons and ten zombies who had been killed by Drake. Hanho opened his eyes wide while watching them.
“Uh? Orun? Are you alive?”
Standing at the forefront was the smallest goblin skeleton, Orun.
His body, which was shattered into pieces, had been fully restored without any scratches, and a green aura was coming out of his body.
“Yeah! I trusted you, Orun!”
However, there was no touching reunion. The seventy-seven skeletons, including Orun, passed by the allied forces and began to rush toward Youi Street.
Kuaaaaaaaah!
Only then did Drake realize that he could not afford to be complacent. Roaring again, he opened his mouth and let out the damn fire of Breath.
Pooh-hwa-ahah!
Sungwoo, stepping back while floating in the air, gathered all the bones from the corpses scattered on the road. The bones among the abandoned cars began to soar into the air and gathered in front of Sungwoo.
As soon as four square shields were completed, they were stacked and stopped the fire of Breath. The fierce pillar of fire stopped after melting three shields, and in the meantime, the undead army arrived at the side of the road.
Rattle! Rattle!
They came in droves this time. Seventy-seven skeletons dispersed wide to the left and right and poured into the road. They ran through the vehicles and climbed the roofs of the cars to charge at their common enemy.
Krrrrrrrrrrrr….
