How a Calamity Necromancer Retires

Even Japan’s SS-class unstable gate was blocked without any damage, and it was not enough that I could not catch it. The world was really upset.

That’s why I thought it would be good to use the response of these people as a stepping stone to come up with countermeasures with the help of the countries… … .

“What are these bastards up to now?”

From nob le mtl dot com

Mongolia, in a hurry due to the presence of a gate in its territory and poor Awakener history, has sent support funds while organizing an emergency budget.

“Can’t I stop right now? Can’t you understand the situation?”

At my words, Deokbae Kim said with a firm expression.

“Both countries have announced plans to place Awakeners at the borders to stop the monsters once they get out of the gate, but they seem reluctant to support the president directly.”

I said with a frustrated expression.

“If it was going to be blocked by deploying the Awoken, I wouldn’t even ask for money. It’s frustrating, I’m going crazy Could it be that you have ill feelings toward me?”

Then, Deokbae Kim shook his head and said.

“I don’t think so.”

“Then what is it?”

“Doesn’t a monster have the characteristic of not moving well after leaving the gate, making the surrounding area a zone? Mongolia’s territory is very large, so I think it was calculated that they probably wouldn’t come all the way to their own country.”

“This crazy.”

Isn’t it your country?

okay.

Originally, international politics is cold-blooded, so you can think of it that way.

However, from my point of view, knowing the reality, the two countries’ response was complacency itself that could not be overlooked.

“He’s not the kind of guy who will ever sit in one place… Ah-oh. driving me crazy.”

The Meat Golem is equipped with an algorithm that searches for enemies and attacks itself if there is no other instruction.

In the first place, the meat golem was made to be used to destroy the surroundings by throwing it in the middle of the enemy country.

Of course, if no one is around after coming out of the gate, the meat golem will start scouting.

And the speed will be as fast as its size, and then the meat golem’s carnage will happen the moment it encounters a person.

Whether it be a normal person or an awakened person.

“Instead, the two countries decided to send subsidies to the Mongolian government, saying they sympathize with Mongolia’s pain, but the amount was combined… Not even $100 million.”

“Not even $100 million?”

put it on someone’s nose

Are you really looking at someone else’s business?

I said as I slumped in my chair.

“People are the same here and there.”

People don’t know until they experience it.

how serious the situation is.

All of the Cerron people who accused me of being a necromancer after I warned against global warming until after the real climate crisis came and experienced the Earth in motion and my undead legions.

“In my heart, I just want to let them suffer… … .”

So the most effective thing is to leave it alone.

After all the Awakened people in their own country are ground to death by the Meat Golem and the civilians are massacred, you will realize how terrifying the SR class I was talking about is.

You also know that their common sense that monsters settle in their own area can sometimes be wrong.

If that happens, the next crisis will show a different level of behavior than now.

Just as the nations of Seron supported me by pulling out even the pillars of the nation.

but… That’s not right.

That guy is the sh*t I made, and I have to clean up the sh*t I made.

“What about US and Western aid?”

“Rather, the distant United States decided to provide the most money. The United States, European countries, and Korea have announced that they will provide about 2 trillion won in total.”

“… It’s an economic crisis and it’s not their business, but that’s a pretty big shot.”

Of course, there is no choice with that money.

I can’t help it.

“First of all, buy all the essences and monster corpses of the highest grade as possible with the money received and the extra funds in the group. If I can get an additional loan, I will take the soul and raise funds. If that’s not enough… Let’s sell at least some of our group assets.”

It’s too late to wait for the fire to fall on their feet and then rush funding.

So, I have to think about the later things later and prepare for it somehow, even within what I have.

At my words, Deokbae Kim said with a puzzled expression.

“Hoe, Chairman, if you sell your assets now, you won’t be able to get the full price!”

Just as I bought Chinese assets at a bargain price, if you sell your assets in the current economic crisis, you will have no choice but to receive a price that is far below the original value.

But what can I do?

In the first place, the Seron Group was created to be used at times like this.

“Why is it so… … .”

“I know, I don’t understand. Just know that there are inexplicable reasons why you have to go this far.”

Then, Deokbae Kim, who had been silent for a long time, bowed his head and spoke.

“I don’t know why, but I get it. Because the president is not the kind of person who would do nonsense. I will move right away.”

Deokbae Kim, who faithfully followed my instructions even in situations I couldn’t understand.

It was just a relationship between the owner of a dying shoe factory and a takeover, but now he was one of the few people I could trust in any situation.

“thank you.”

“no.”

“ah! And call all the Skeleton League players.”

I got up and said.

“It’s time for a real raid, not a fake raid.”

* * *

An SR-class monster that appeared in Mongolia.

Kwon Ju-min, the best player in the skeleton league, felt sorry for the Mongolians up to this point, but that was it.

Kwon Ju-min is always a sports player, and hunting monsters is the responsibility of the Awakened.

However, Kwon Joo-min, who was suddenly called and explained by Chairman Han Ji-hyeok, could not help but be engulfed in excitement.

“You upgrade our skeletons and use them for actual combat?!”

When the Skeleton League was activated, some opinions popped up to use skeletons to act like semi-awakened people.

If there is someone who can control it and the skeleton’s combat power is sufficient, in theory, ordinary people can go hunting for monsters like the Awakened.

However, Chairman Han Ji-hyeok, who always drew the line saying that he had no intention of invading the realm of the awakened, suddenly announced that he would mobilize the skeletons of players for the first time in a real battle.

It is a story like sweet rain for Kwon Jumin, who was always thirsty for new and thrilling battles.

“That’s right.”

Chairman Han Ji-hyeok pointed to a picture of a monster and said.

“This monster is huge and strong. However, when I faced it myself, it was similar to the meat golem I made in many ways, from movement to regeneration. Of course, my meat golem is much smaller and looks a bit different, but I thought about it anyway.”

Han Ji-hyeok looked at the players and said.

“I think we have veteran players who have dealt with meat golems countless times. Wouldn’t it be possible to make the skeletons of such players strong enough to stand up to that meat golem, and then mount a meat golem-specific algorithm to deal with it? What do you think?”

At that, Kwon Ju-min nodded vigorously and said.

“Of course you can! How many times have we fought against meat golems?”

Kwon Joo-min and the players have repeatedly played countless matches, learned from defeat, and overcome again until they faced the current 13-phase meat golem.

To them, the Meat Golem was a very familiar enemy.

Kwon Ju-min said with a thrilled expression.

“To think that my skeleton is going to fight… … . Oh, I never dreamed that a day like this would come.”

Kwon Ju-min, who was so excited about the real battle, said.

“By the way, how are you talking about upgrading?”

“I don’t want to get in the way of the algorithm, so it’s convenient to think that all abilities and sizes are multiplied while maintaining the shape.”

“okay. ah! But is it possible the other way?”

“The other way?”

“In fact, there is an operation that was scrapped because it was impossible to implement with our skeletons’ specs… … .”

Then Jihyeok Han nodded happily and said.

“Anything is fine as long as it helps to catch the monster.”

“Oh oh!”

Excited to hear that he could realize what he had only imagined, Joo-min Kwon excitedly began to explain the strategy he had devised.

“If you add these parts to this, the gaps will be more clear… … .”

After hearing all the explanations, Han Ji-hyeok nodded and said,

“This is good! hey Didn’t you think of this? Let’s apply it. ah. For reference, please note that we plan to pay rewards according to your contribution to monster hunting this time. Of course, as it is a real raid, the amount will be different from the game.”

Then, all the quiet players stand up and start spitting out new ideas.

“From what we understand, cores tend to move in the opposite direction of the most damaging area. If that monster had a similar structure, I would deliberately induce it… … .”

“Nice idea!”

“Then how about this? Using the self-destruct skeleton… … .”

“Reject that! The odds of failure are too great.”

The meat golem countermeasure meeting began in earnest.

Han Ji-hyeok, who continued to listen to the opinions of the players and make judgments, said with a smile on his face.

“As expected, many good opinions come out when many people put their heads together. Very good. If I keep going like this, can’t I stop even a single meat golem?”

“of course!”

“Let’s keep going! I’ll show you! Your skills!”

* * *

He spends all his money and collects a large amount of monster corpses to create an upgraded version of the skeleton that is optimized for the meat golem and overwrites the algorithm.

In addition, the things I have been devising to deal with the undead army, such as collecting and introducing new ideas, are progressing smoothly.

“There are 20 days left.”

I said with a confident expression.

“I can catch it.”

The efforts made so far have never been in vain.

From nob le mtl dot com

My undead algorithm, which I made for low-end considering all situations, and the players’ algorithm, which I made to deal with only one meat golem, are different in efficiency.

Is it supposed to be a kind of rock-paper-scissors?

The players’ corkscrew skeletons are specialized only in catching meat golems, so there’s no chance of winning against my undead army, but on the contrary, my undead army will struggle against the overwhelming meat golem.

“I create gaps with the corkscrew skeleton, and I and the undead army finish it. Perfect. The problem is the money, but that’s it, if the assets are sold, it will work out somehow.”

I can understand the feelings of Chinese companies and banks that sold their assets to me at a low price.

Even if you just hold it, it will be several times more, but you are in a hurry right now and you have no choice but to sell your real assets.

But isn’t there any other way?

“Let’s do what we were doing.”

That’s how I make an upgraded version of the corkscrew skeleton.

It extracts morale from the purchased corpse, injects it into the corkscrew skeleton, and injects mana of artificial essence.

The completed stopper skeleton is an average S-class, and at this level, the spec gap with the Seron Meat Golem can be made to a level similar to that in the game.

Of course, it would be better to make an SS class to narrow the gap further, but now that funds are insufficient, choice and concentration are needed.

The players’ algorithms are specialized for group battles, so quality is quality, but quantity must be matched.

“If we have time later, let’s make an SS class as well.”

That’s when I continued to make upgrade spigot skeletons.

There is a call from Deokbae Kim.

-President!

Deokbae Kim’s urgent voice.

Sensing that something urgent had happened, I said with a firm expression.

“Is there a problem.”

– A monster has popped out of the Mongol Gate!

“yes?!”

already?

“What do you mean? They said there were 20 days left!”

Of course, it is true that there is an error in measuring the critical point due to the shape change of the gate.

However, such an error usually does not exceed 3 days, and especially in the case of the critical moment, you can see the gate fluctuating more clearly, but did you miss this?

-The gate I checked with the drone was not at all what it looked like right before the critical point! In addition, unlike the usual disappearance, the gate exploded as if it were being smashed, and a monster appeared!

“As if it was smashed? no way… … ?”

Did this monster force its way through the gate?

I said with a puzzled expression.

“No, what kind of crazy monster… … .”

It was clear that the meat golem, who saw me and the survivors going in and out through the gate entrance, forcibly broke through the gate entrance, which was judged to be a passageway, after completing all the reconnaissance inside the gate.

“The gate entrance is small. how did you get through that? Besides, monsters can’t go through the entrance in the first place. damn. What the hell happened?”

I can’t grasp the situation, but the important thing right now is to stop him.

“What is the monster doing now?”

– Spins around and is on the move!

From nob le mtl dot com

Meat Golem’s reconnaissance speed is unrivaled by its size.

If you look at it from a height of several tens of meters, you can see the entire surrounding area.

From nob le mtl dot com

Moreover, since Mongolia is a steppe, there is no topography to block the view, so even a cursory glance would have immediately sensed that there were no enemies around.

so it’s moving

to find enemies.

“sh*t! Get ready to fly the private jet!”

* * *

I arrived at the Mongolian airport, flew to the place the Mongolian government informed me of, and checked the meat golem in a location where it would not be detected.

“I’m going to China.”

It’s not like I’m sensing something.

It’s just endlessly moving in search of enemies, and the only direction is China.

“We will reach the border in a day or two. Then, after annihilating the Awoken defending the borders, we will continue to advance toward the populous and building-rich interior of China.”

I need more money and time to complete my plan.

At least ten days or more, no matter how little you catch.

And ten days is enough to enter China’s mainland and destroy the surroundings, considering the monster’s speed.

“You have to take your time.”

The only way is to keep the meat golems supplied with enemies so they don’t wander off in search of them, and keep them tied to the spot.

Of course, as it involves sacrifice, the most realistic alternative is to provide my undead legion with food.

The problem is consumption.

“For that guy to be recognized as an enemy, we need to mobilize at least a hundred units… … .”

One or two low-level skeletons were not enough.

That powerful guy had to have enough size and power to be recognized as an enemy, so he had to mobilize at least a hundred battle-type skeletons or send out powerful objects.

Of course, this unit will be torn to pieces, and when that unit is used up, another unit will be mobilized to delay the time.

“Damn it.”

No matter how many skeletons there are, in the end, the last blow is mine, so I have to change the undead army, which should be in charge of that one axis, to this kind of time dragging?

It’s too inefficient to leave a wasteful thing.

“Or should I put in a bunch of worker skeletons? I think I can send thousands of them, but… … . But then, the consumption of worker skeletons would be enormous, and then the business wouldn’t come to an all-stop.”

Combat types only have money and can be restored, but businesses that are intertwined in all directions with contracts, etc., require more effort and time to reestablish themselves once they have gone haywire.

“Mmm.”

That time when Django was repeated Django after Django.

A strange sign is detected from the meat golem.

“uh?”

The meat golem possesses an enormous amount of morale and magical power for its size.

However, the amount of morale and magic I feel now is noticeably less than when I saw it from inside the gate.

“Could it be that it happened when you came out through the gate?”

but.

No matter how powerful the meat golem is, there’s no way it’ll be fine after forcibly breaking through the gate, an unknown phenomenon.

“There is some hope in this.”

The less undead you need to feed for food will be consumed less, and the preparations will be completed earlier.

“5 days. If we wait five days, we can proceed with the operation.”

The problem is also money.

When the thought came to this point, I gritted my teeth and said.

“I wish these Chinese idiots would have cooperated a little earlier and shot a lot of money!”

No matter how bad the economy is, it’s not like there’s no money at all.

“I’m getting cheap sh*t, but if you’ve put in this much effort, you should at least help me out!”

You’ve been pretending you didn’t know that it wasn’t your country, right?

but what about this

Now it’s your job.

So, should I open my wallet?

Everything, even the portion of the undead legions that would be sacrificed to pass the time.

I immediately took out my cell phone and called a high-ranking Chinese politician I met during the asset purchase process.

-way?

“I’m Han Ji-hyeok. Interpretation quickly.”

Suddenly, there is a crackling sound and the interpreter answers the phone.

-yes! Chairman Han!

“You know the freak is going to China right now, right?

-I know! So now we have a meeting… … .

“That’s all right, do you need any mercenaries?”

– A mercenary?

“I will stop him.”

-Are you sure!?

“yes. Instead, there are conditions. I have a plan to deal with him right now, but this will take some time? That’s why I have to take my time, and in the process my skeletons will be crushed into heaps. If you promise to pay for this, I’ll give you more time and take care of that guy.”

– Ship, compensation?

“Originally, when a mercenary dies, death insurance money comes out. In any case, since he died fighting for China, he must compensate. I didn’t make it for free. 500 million for class F, 1.5 billion for class E, I promise to give you differential compensation in this way.”

-Ho, do you know how much you will lose?

“About thousands to as many as 10,000?”

As it is an undead army made with an emphasis on quality rather than quantity, the percentage of higher ranks is higher than F or E ranks, so each unit will average billions of dollars, so if you add them all together, it will be roughly tens of trillions of won, but all these losses are passed on to China.

“Apart from that, give me some funding, because the current power alone isn’t enough to deal with him.”

-The current economic situation in China makes no sense… … .

“Is the economy important right now? Do you know if it’s real poop or soybean paste when you eat it? The moment he advances into China, he will die in a pile of people. Can the Chinese government handle it?! I’ll block that! That crazy monster! therefore!”

I said, rolling my eyes.

“Give me the money.”
