The Necromancer Commands Slaves, Not Undeads - Chapter 42



42 – The Princess’ Secret Secret (5)

The skeleton orcs running with their bare hands began to cling to the golem’s body. Like climbers climbing rough mountainous terrain, the skeleton orcs began climbing on the golem’s body.

It was an instant for the skeleton orcs to cover the golem’s body. It was disgusting to me to see the pure white bones squirming around like termites.

Maria let out her scream as the golem was filled with skeleton orcs from head to toe.

“Kyaaak! What is this? Get it out quickly!”

Maria gave orders to remove the skeleton orcs from the golem’s body as quickly as possible.

The golem’s body became too dull to follow her commands. There are as many as 40 skeleton orcs attached to the golem’s body.

Skeleton Orcs, which were 1.5 Times larger and heavier than regular skeletons, were not easy to drop.

“Hey, profit… Laser!”

The golem’s eyes flash with light once again to shake off the crowd of orcs.

“Where?”

I have already finished understanding the golem. The skeleton orc warriors clinging to the golem’s face lashed out at its glowing eyes.

Bah! Damn it! Clink! The golem’s eyes were shattered by the successive blows of the orcs.

Unlike the solid body, the golem’s eyes, which emit optical lasers, are made of a weak material.

The Skeleton Warrior’s punches were enough to destroy the golem’s eyes, which looked like jewels but also resembled glass.

“Oh no, how much does that cost?!”

Maria’s screams flowed through one of her ears and she gave instructions to her skeleton orcs. Then the golem’s body slowly began to lean forward.

The golem’s body trembled and tried to resist the skeleton, but it was not enough to overcome the crowd of skeleton orcs.

The skeleton orcs hanging in front desperately grabbed the gap and pulled forward, while those on the back pushed the golem’s back.

“Yeongcha~! Yeongcha~!”

It was a scene that made me cheer. I cheered on the skeleton orcs with excitement.

The golem’s body finally fell forward, and a loud vibration resounded in the clearing, as if an earthquake had occurred.

Among the skeleton orcs hanging in front, some that were unable to avoid were crushed to pieces.

However, since the golem was lying face down and unable to move, it was a very cheap exchange price.

The game has been won. Skeleton Orcs’ bones were large and thick, so they were quite heavy, but their true strength lay in their physical strength.

After being revived, they were able to handle large weapons without difficulty, just like when they were alive.

The big, thick muscles are no longer there, but the strength is still the same.

Even though the golem struggled to move, his body was crushed and did not even move.

I recalled memories from the past. I learned a lot from the fight between the black wolf and the skeleton six months ago.

“Now, what are you trying to do?!”

I rolled up the sleeves of my robe and walked towards the golem’s right arm.

What I was about to do now was teabagging. But Maria was too shy.

I told Dorothy not to be more angry than necessary, but people sometimes change their words and actions.

How dare you make a personal attack on me, calling me visually impaired?

I grabbed the arm of the golem along with the skeleton orcs with the hand holding the ogre gauntlet.

“Okay, one, two, three, and you’re pulling.”

These words were not spoken to communicate with the skeleton orcs. He smiled brightly at Maria, who was filled with screams.

“Come on, one!”

A huge arm was lifted from the ground. When I pulled the golem’s arm towards the outside of the body, it clicked! A strange sound was heard.

“Come on, two!”

The golem’s arms began to tremble. Me and the Skeleton Orc laid back and pulled our arms hard, as if playing tug-of-war.

Thank you. Black wolf. Thanks to you for pulling out the skeleton’s joints, I can give it a try.

“Okay, three!”

“Stop it!! I was wrong!! I’m sorry!! I’ll surrender…!!”

Maria’s declaration of surrender was heard, but it was already too late. The golem’s right arm was pulled out with joints by me and the orcs.

With a huge vibration sound, the golem’s right arm disintegrates from the main body and falls to the ground.

“No…”

Maria fell to her knees and looked at the golem with a devastated expression.

“So, I told you I was sorry in advance.”

I patted my palms. I felt a little sorry for Maria, who was on her knees screaming, but it was her fault for not shouting for surrender sooner.

Well, this is completely over. What’s going on on Dorothy’s side?

I turned my gaze towards that.

***

Dorothy and Oscar were exchanging offense and defense without giving an inch to each other. The appearance was like that of a dragon and tiger. In a fierce battle where no one could decide who was superior, Dorothy felt uncomfortable for the first time in her life.

Dorothy continued to win. In less than a month, she picked up a sword and fought a bear, defeated a manticore, and fought an orc leader to victory.

Although she had her master’s help in all her fights, Dorothy had a firm belief that she would never be defeated.

However, the more he fought with the man named Oscar, who was competing with him with his bare hands, the more he became shabby and his opponent became bigger.

Even when he stabbed her rapier through a gap in her armor, her wounds were minimal. In comparison, her opponent’s blow came as a effective blow to Dorothy.

Dorothy instinctively turned her head to throw away the blow that hit her face, but before she knew it, blood was flowing from her nose.

Even though you clearly have an advantage in range, getting hit means you either lack the attack power to stop the opponent or you are slow, and in this case, both were the case.

Dorothy felt as if she had hit a wall. From the perspective of the viewer, the fight with Oscar seemed like a whistle, but it was only Dorothy who was accumulating damage.

‘Why?’

Dorothy raised questions rather than frustration. Why was her opponent still unharmed despite being stabbed by a rapier? Why was he able to be faster than her even though he was heavy and large?

Only after Dorothy asked herself her cold questions did she realize the difference between her and Oscar.

As she looked intently, there was a faint, but blue light hovering over her Oscar’s entire body. It was as cloudy as her mist and dim as a lamp, but it radiated powerful energy.

The only difference between them came from whether or not they could handle that energy.

‘At that time, that feeling.’

Even though it was a tense situation where attacks were being exchanged, the concentration that bordered on obsession resolved the doubts. Dorothy had already manifested it unconsciously during her fight with Morse.

The more you fight, the more vitality comes in, your body becomes light as if you have wings, and your thinking speed accelerates, making even time around you seem to slow down.

‘Apparently, Morse called it an auror.’

Of course, what Dorothy learned was not all about Aurors. But what was important to her now was to once again recreate the sense she had then, even if it was a little weak.

Like the rapier, being an auror was not something someone taught you, but it was an act that you learned on your own like a baby, that is, an instinct.

Reproducing something that has already been done is easier than trying something new.

Increasing the distance between herself and Oscar, Dorothy closed her eyes and concentrated. My vision was immersed in darkness and I couldn’t see anything in front of me.

The girl’s vision was cut off from the world. There is nothing in the pitch black darkness. The only thing that exists is Dorothy’s sense of her surroundings.

However, that is why Dorothy was able to reflect on herself. Only by being trapped in pitch-black darkness was the girl able to understand how she felt about the world.

When vision was blocked in an urgent situation, sense organs such as hearing, touch, and smell became sensitive. My body became activated in a desperate attempt to face the disconnected world.

I could feel small things that I could not normally feel, such as pulse, heartbeat, and blood flow. Among them, Dorothy finally found what was hidden in the deepest part.

It was mysterious. Although it exists in one’s body like a cell, it is so minute that it cannot be felt as one’s own body. Dorothy instinctively realized the mana in her body.

Dorothy opened her eyes. The moment of concentration to feel her mana felt like a long, long time, but as she looked at Oscar running towards her to close the gap, she realized that the time that had passed was only a moment.

Dorothy activated Mana. Her activated mana flowed through her bloodstream and through her body, and her eyes once again took on a ghostly blue glow.

Her thinking speed and visual acuity accelerated, and Oscar’s movements, which she could not see at all, began to appear clearly in her field of vision.

Dorothy was a genius. There were very few people under the same sky as her who had the same talent as her. When the day comes when she fully blossoms with all her talents, her name, Dorothy, will surely be recorded in the history books of the empire.

Now, at this moment, Dorothy, who has grown even more, and her Oscar clash once again.
