Reborn Soul Master: The Rogue's Counterattack

Chapter 286 Bone Powder

A month has passed.

'Is necromancy so simple? ' The knowledge of the ancient necromancers is truly amazing.

It seems clear why so many necromancers want to find the City of the Dead and why they want to obtain the knowledge of ancient necromancers.

No, it was necessary to understand. Simply acquiring the knowledge of the ancient necromancers was already a step further.

Although it has not yet reached nine stars from eight stars, it has become incomparably stronger than it was a month ago.

"I seem to understand why my father is so powerful." Charlotte. Now I finally understand why he became a legend in the Kingdom of Libera and why he became the strongest necromancer in history.

'If Wolfe returns alive from the Necropolis, he will be recorded as the greatest necromancer of all time.'

After coming to the City of the Dead, Wolfe grew rapidly and became the first nine-star necromancer in the Kingdom of Libera.

But he failed to escape from the City of the Dead and eventually became an undead enjoying eternal life.

"Mr. Wolfe." Cardin, who was taking a short break from training, remembered a question and called out to Wolfe who was sitting in a chair.

"what's up?"

"I read in the history books that the knowledge of the ancient necromancers has been lost, right?"

"So what?"

"Why? If this knowledge had been known to the world earlier, the necromancers would have become stronger."

Why is their knowledge confined to history? If the knowledge learned now had been circulated earlier in the world, the Necromancers might have achieved greater power than they do now.

"That's because those foolish nobles moved the entire city to the world of the dead after the necromancers built their city."

There was not a single necromancer left willing to teach necromancy.

Hundreds of years of collected materials and research data have all been moved to the world of the dead. There is no way to take them out.

Ancient necromancers gained immortality, but could never return to the human world.

"However, even after becoming undead, they continued to study necromancy. It's really amazing that they can do this."

"There's nothing to do here. If you get bored, you can only do research. There's plenty of time anyway."

Ancient necromancers also tried to escape from the City of the Dead at first. They tried to use teleportation magic, and also tried to go back to the road of the dead to return to the human world.

But they cannot escape this world. There is no way to turn them back into humans and send them back to the human world.

As a result, they were trapped in the city and devoted themselves to the study of necromancy.

"By the way, there's no weaker necromancer in this city than you. That's for sure."

"Ah..." Yes. Although only in the city, I have been studying the necromancy of nothingness while I was alive.

Cardin seemed to understand and nodded.

"But you learn quickly. No, it's me who teaches you well?" Wolfe said with a cheeky smile, and Cardin nodded as if in agreement.

Initially, the knowledge of the ancient necromancers seemed difficult to understand. Even Cardan, who had only studied necromancy for 20 years, found it difficult.

But Wolfe explains the lore of the ancient necromancers, making it easier for Cardan to understand.

"Thanks to you, I learned a lot." Gained the knowledge of ancient necromancers and learned various techniques.

"But, Mr. Wolfe."

"what's up?"

“When will the exam take place?”

"Don't worry. I'll tell you when the time comes." Although I was told not to worry, it was still unsettling to just stay here.

Although I already know that time passes twice as slow here as on earth, I still feel uneasy.

After staying in the Dead City for a month, I don’t know what happened in the human world. Maybe the demons have started a war, and the loss of human beings may be very serious.

"But, everyone is fighting well." It's not just worry. Although the demons are definitely strong, the humans who insist on fighting are not all weak.

Led by the Guardians and War Heroes, resistance and revolutionary groups have been formed, and they are still resisting tenaciously.

"However, even if war breaks out, returning in the current state won't change much." It would be more helpful to become a nine-star and then return.

'Nine stars...' Charlotte was the only one who became a nine-star necromancer in the Kingdom of Libera.

Of course, Wolfe also surpassed nine stars, but that was after the death of the Dead City... If Cardan became a nine-star here, it would be on the same level as the living Charlotte.

If he becomes the king of the City of the Dead and is able to use the power here, he will surpass Charlotte.

'The disciple surpasses the master...' Although I am worried about the human world, I need training more than worrying about it now.

Cardin thought so, stood up from his seat and walked towards Wolf.

"I've had enough rest. Let's start training again."

"Although you are in the world of the dead, you are still a living person. You have to manage your physical strength yourself."

"Don't worry about your physical strength. I'm confident in my own strength." Wolfe chuckled and stood up from his chair.

"Anyway, if you die, you'll be the only one who suffers."

Every day of being taught by Wolff is moving. Charlotte, Isaac, Gilbert, Dimitar.

Cardan has learned knowledge from four guardians so far.

Charlotte laid the foundation for him in necromancy.

Isaac makes up for the lack of a necromancer.

Gilbert told him a new way to become an eight-star.

Dimitar raised his sense for close combat to the highest point.

They are all great teachers, and learning from them has enabled Cardin to achieve rapid growth.”

But compared to those four teachers, Wolfe's teaching seemed even more remarkable.

This is not to belittle the four teachers. Wolf is indeed amazing. He is a necromancer who has lived in the Dead City for hundreds of years.

Having absorbed all the ancient necromancer knowledge of the Dead City, his teachings felt like learning from a god.

"Nine Stars doesn't seem that far away."

two months.

Two months after starting training under Wolfe's guidance, it seemed that he could reach the realm of nine stars. It took three years to go from seven stars to eight stars, but he didn't expect that it would be so easy to go from eight stars to nine stars.

"If you have learned from Charlotte, you will know that Charlotte's skeleton soldiers are not assembled from bones, but made from bone powder."

Charlotte is not the only necromancer who uses bone meal to summon skeletons. It is a method that has been known for a long time.

There are necromancers who use bones to summon skeletons, and there are necromancers who use bone powder to summon skeletons. It's just that the methods are different.

"Charlotte originally used bones to summon skeletons. It was more effective that way, so she did it that way."

"Then why did you change the method?" Cardin also had a question.

He also didn't know why Charlotte used bone powder instead of bones to summon skeleton soldiers when she first learned necromancy from her.

Bone meal can be used to freely adjust the number and density of skeleton soldiers, but it will consume more magic power and require more concentration.

He didn't understand why he should put so much energy into the skeleton soldiers who could be summoned at any time in battle.

I just learned it because Charlotte taught me.

"Because I told them to do that."

"what?"

"Did you see my Skeletons that day?" Instantly, Cardin recalled the memory of fighting Wolf's Skeletons on the first day of training.

Skeleton soldiers emitting black light. Wolf's skeleton soldiers showed their strength to overwhelm the Death Knight.

"Although Skeletons are classified as low-level undead creatures, they can also become the highest level depending on the summoner."

Snap! Wolfe snapped his fingers, and bone dust began to appear around him, slowly spinning.

"What would happen if you used human bones to create the shape of an orc?"

"The human memories remaining in the bones cannot adapt to the orc form, and will become an existence lower than that of a low-level skeleton soldier."

"Yes. You know that well. So, what would happen if you mixed human bones with orc bones?"

"Is this possible? I tried it but didn't feel much of a difference?"

"It's the difference in the ratio. If you want to use skeleton soldiers to create human shapes, the main component is human bones. The orc bone powder is just mixed in."

Although I had thought about it, I didn't think it was possible.

"So who are Mr. Wolfe's skeleton soldiers?"

“Well, I’ve tried all kinds of mixes.”

“So what kind of monster’s bones are used to mix those black skeleton soldiers?

"You thought it was just mixed bones?"

Snap! Cardin looked at Wolfe curiously, and Wolfe flicked his fingers easily.

Then the bone powder around him gathered together and gradually took the shape of a skeleton soldier.

"This is..." It looks like a bone made of iron.

"When bone powder and metal are mixed together, this kind of guy will be born." A skeleton soldier made of a mixture of metals.

It does look more durable than the average Skeleton.

"But if you mix metals, the action will..."

"As long as we adjust the ratio properly, there will be no problem. On the contrary, the low-level undead creatures will become stronger guys."

I sighed continuously. I didn't expect this method to be possible.

"So were the skeleton soldiers I showed you two months ago made of black iron or ore?"

"No, those guys used something else."

Snap! Wolfe flicked his fingers again, and black bone powder sprayed into the air, forming the shape of a skeleton soldier.

Plop. Except for the color, it is not much different from ordinary skeleton soldiers.

But if you look closely, it's a bit strange. Why do skeleton soldiers have such strong magic power?

"I call these guys the Dragon Teeth Soldiers."

"Dragon Tooth Soldiers?"

"Skeleton soldiers made from dragon teeth." Cardin smiled and observed Wolf's skeleton soldiers again.

It is indeed incomparable to other skeleton soldiers and possesses very strong magic power.

"I've told you the method and provided you with the materials. You can find the proportions yourself. This is a field of feeling and is difficult to teach."

"Provide materials?"

"If you cannot become the king of the Dead City, then these materials must be returned to me, but you can use them freely here."

"Yes, the material of the Dragon Tooth Soldier is dragon, right?"

"Do you think there are no dragon bones here?"

"what?"

"This is the City of the Dead. Don't think there are no materials here."

"Ah..." Cardin looked on in confusion, and Wolfe chuckled.

"Do you know how the first necromancer was born?"

"Why are you asking this all of a sudden...?"

"Ancient necromancers. The first of these to become necromancers were grave robbers."

"Grave robber?"

"Yes. Thanks to them, the ancient necromancers were very skilled in tomb robbing. They collected many dragon bones from hidden places all over the world and brought them here."

Therefore, it is almost impossible to find dragon bones or corpses in the human world. Cardan seemed to understand and smiled.

"I'll give you the materials anyway. Come back to me after you finish the Dragon Fang Soldier. I have things to do as well."
