The Necromancer Commands Slaves, Not Undeads - Chapter 41



41 – The Princess’ Secret Secret (4)

In the evening, Her Majesty the Princess personally came to the guest room where Dorothy and I were staying. Following Her Royal Highness, we headed to the empty lot outside the mansion.

Maria and Oscar were waiting in the vacant lot. Unlike Oscar, who stood silently, Maria’s expression did not look very good.

It seems that what happened earlier during the day was very humiliating. The way she looked at us didn’t look good at all, and we could feel Maria’s strong will to scold us.

In the flowing silence, Princess Amelia opened her mouth.

“You said you would help me on the condition that I release the Golden Lion. What I need now are competent people with the minimum skills of a combatant. I wonder if you are the kind of person who can help me in this mock battle. Prove it.”

Wooden swords or practice weapons mainly used in mock battles were not visible in this place. The basic rules that must be followed did not come out of the princess’s mouth, and unlike me, who was puzzled, Oscar and Maria seemed familiar with the current situation.

In other words, even if it was a mock battle, it meant giving your best as if it were a real fight. It might end with someone getting hurt…

After the princess finished speaking, Dorothy put on the ogre gauntlet on her left hand. I tried to transfer all the Ogre Gauntlets I recovered from Morse to Dorothy.

Because it is difficult to handle a rapier with the hand wearing the ogre gauntlet, Dorothy has the left gauntlet, and I have the right gauntlet.

Like Dorothy, I also wore an ogre gauntlet on my right hand. As soon as the other party finished preparing, the word ‘start’ came out of the princess’s mouth.

As if she had been waiting for those words, Maria threw a black sphere the size of a marble that she was holding in her hand onto the ground.

As the black sphere reached the ground and broke apart, a dazzling yellow flash covered the clearing. The flash cleared and what appeared was a metal golem.

The golem was bigger than any enemy I had ever faced. Maria opened her mouth in an arrogant manner, summoning a huge golem that was over 10 meters tall.

“I will return the same shame you suffered earlier.”

Mary looked at Dorothy with her burning eyes. But Dorothy did not have time to look at her Maria.

As soon as the mock battle began, Oscar and Dorothy clashed as if there were set rules. A knight wearing white armor and a girl with flowing blond hair and wielding a rapier began to tangle.

As I looked at that scene, a question arose. Oscar did not have the greatsword he used during the day. As if he had control of his strength, he began fighting Dorothy with his bare hands.

“I’m sorry, but it seems like your opponent is me.”

I slowly lifted the blindfold to reveal my spiritual eyes.

“Hmm, are you a wizard too?”

When Maria looked at the spider web imprinted on my right eye, she lost her anger for a moment. Maria’s eyes, filled with her curiosity, stared at me.

“You have unusual eyes that are hard to see. What magic do you use?”

“I’ll know it when I see it.”

I hit the wooden staff held in my left hand on the ground. The ground in the clearing cracked and skeleton Orc Warriors began to crawl up.

The 10 Orc Warriors, who were much larger than ordinary warriors, raised their large weapons high and roared.

Due to the battle with Mors, all of the undead bears and Znul’s stock were consumed. Currently, the types of troops I can summon are regular Skeleton Warriors, Archers, Skeleton Orcs, and Morse.

“It uses a unique kind of magic. It’s a type that isn’t written about in any books…”

Maria looked at my undead army with her serious eyes, then she smiled.

“Well, it doesn’t matter. My golem will be much stronger!”

Maria was confident in her own golem. It seems like losing her is unthinkable to her. But I quickly understood why she had such confidence.

Thump, thump, a golem that was over 10 meters tall was walking towards the orcs. Every time the golem moved, a small earthquake sounded in the ground.

The skeleton orcs raised their weapons high and began charging at the golem. When the orcs reached the golem, they struck it down with the ax or hammer they were holding.

Kang!! Kang!! It sounded like iron being struck in a blacksmith shop. The golem was immune to the Orc Warrior’s attacks. Although there were wounds like hammer marks or ax marks, to the golem they were just scratches.

The metal golem moved its arms. The golem’s movements may seem slow at first glance, but in reality they were not at all.

The golem’s huge arms swept the ground. It looked as if a large truck was crashing into the orcs.

The swept away skeleton orcs flew away like paper due to the impact and began rolling on the ground.

As the skeleton orcs were sent flying away, the golem’s eyes sparkled. The golem’s vision was directed to the place where the orcs had fallen.

Jiying – A laser with high enough heat to melt the ground swept away the orcs. I was amazed as I looked at that sight.

The golem, with its enormous weight and size, is a siege weapon in itself, but I never would have guessed that it even possesses an optical weapon.

At best, the magic the old woman showed me was about using elements such as fire, water, earth, and light to make daily life more convenient…

Is this the real magic that wizards use?

Of course, what I was thinking now was not that the old woman was inferior in status as a wizard.

I have never seen an old woman use magic with all her might. There were over a hundred magic books in the cabin’s study. The number of years we have lived is different from that of Mariana and I.

As someone who has personally experienced the years she has shown, I can tell you that the old woman is definitely a great magician.

I was just distracted by another magic that I had never seen before.

“Is this all? Even if I used unusual magic, it was too much for me, a genius wizard!”

Maria had no doubts about her own victory. I looked at that figure and smiled.

Her There were many ways to deal with her. The weakness of wizards is none other than the wizard himself. A means of attacking her without dealing with her golem existed.

She also had the means to attack me other than the undead. Both Maria and I knew those facts well.

Nevertheless, the reason they are competing with each other’s summons is because the princess is the one holding the mock battle and watching.

The condition for victory in this mock battle is not to kill the opponent, but to prove one’s abilities.

Of course, you may think that destroying an opponent’s strengths and attacking their weaknesses is an ability, but I intended to show the princess as much as I could in this fight.

Based on her actions just now, Maria seems to be planning to defeat her opponent by destroying everything from the front.

Among the Skeleton Orc Warriors that survived the laser attack, there are only 5 Skeleton Orcs that can currently act.

“I’ve never seen such a great golem. I think it’s such great magic that it makes sense of your confidence.”

“It looks like you’ve finally realized your situation. But you were late in understanding the topic. Just prepare for an ugly defeat!”

The Skeleton Orcs once again raised their weapons and ran forward. However, just like before, he was helplessly trampled by the golem.

It is generally believed that golems have a weak point called the core, but it did not appear to be anywhere visible to the naked eye. It’s probably hidden tightly inside.

I continued to watch the golem, which looked as strong as an iron fortress, and finished my judgment when all the skeleton orcs were incapacitated.

“Is it really difficult to make a golem?”

“Of course, it’s a much more difficult and precise task than summoning a bone. What you’re looking at right now is my masterpiece that I worked hard to create for half a year. Please know that it’s an honor to be able to see it for yourself.”

“If that’s the case, I apologize in advance. I’m sorry.”

I bowed my head towards Maria. For a moment, Maria’s expression was colored with her doubts.

I hit the cane hard on the floor. I have now summoned all the orcs stored in my stock to this location.

The ground splits and skeleton orcs climb out of the cracks. Skeleton Orcs, which were four times more numerous than before, roared.

“What, what! Suddenly there are so many…!”

Maria was embarrassed for a moment. But she quickly regained her composure.

“Still, your bone attacks can never hurt the golem!”

That was correct. Even if you hit the golem with a white-bladed ax or hammer, the skeleton orcs could not inflict effective damage to the golem.

However, unlike before, the Skeleton Orcs began to throw away their weapons all at once. Let me remind you how scary the humane tactics are.

The bare-handed skeleton orcs began to rush at the golem, raising a cloud of dust on the ground.
