Chapter 110: Job Change

Summoned creatures grow at certain levels.

Skeletons were the same.

101, 201, 301...

In this way, as their average level increased, they grew in size, their bones became stronger, and their basic weapons also became more advanced.

In other words,

‘Isn’t there supposed to be no such thing as a job change?’

Warriors and archers weren’t something that skeletons turned into as they grew.

They were skills that were acquired separately through class skillbooks.

‘But a job change happened?’

Acquisition of skills due to strong learning ability.

And one of the effects of the Master of the Dragon Knight title was that skeletons could reach the rank of Dragon Knight.

Perhaps it was because of these potentials that the job change system was activated for skeletons.

Whatever the case may be,

Since a job change was now possible, I decided to take a look at what was possible.

[List of Available Job Changes]

[1. Skeleton Apprentice Warrior]

[2. Skeleton Apprentice Blacksmith]

[3. Skeleton Apprentice Alchemist]

[There are multiple jobs available for job change.]

[New growth potential of skills has been discovered!]

[Calculating...]

[All Skeleton Summons Are Canceled!]

THUMP!

In an instant, the skeletons were reverse summoned.

Immediately following,

[The contents of Skeleton Summon (F) +9 have been significantly changed!]

The message that the contents had been changed appeared.

I checked the contents of the skill.

[Skeleton Apprentice Summon (E) +9]

[Consumes 10 mana to summon 2 (1+1) of your desired LV101 Skeleton Apprentices.]

[* Currently Available Summon List (3/10)]

[1. Skeleton Apprentice Warrior]

[A skeleton slightly more proficient in close combat.]

[* Summoned with Melee Weapon Skill (E).]

[2. Skeleton Apprentice Blacksmith]

[A skeleton slightly more proficient in equipment crafting.]

[* Summoned with Dwarven Crafting Technique (E).]Thee source of this content no/v/(el)bi((n))

[3. Skeleton Apprentice Alchemist]

[A skeleton slightly more proficient in alchemy.]

[* Summoned with Elven Alchemy (E).]

[4. Pending.]

[10. Pending.]

The skill had suddenly changed drastically.

It started with the rank changing from F to E.

‘Apprentice Summon?’

Apprentice.

It meant something that was being learned and mastered.

Since the skeletons were still diligently learning, it wasn’t that strange to call them apprentices.

‘So then...’

To summarize the key points,

The summon mana was the same.

Instead, it seemed that it was now possible to summon skeletons that were suitable for the stage and situation.

“A kind of specialization?”

Of course, it was more advantageous to summon warriors when fighting. On the other hand, it was naturally better to summon blacksmiths or alchemists when crafting.

‘Could it be that... this can be switched freely?’

Kim Minwoo’s eyes lit up.

The mechanism of Skeleton Summon was simple.

If 10 could be summoned, they would be summoned from 1 to 10.

If he had enough mana to summon 20 skeletons, the existing 1 to 10 would be summoned fixedly.

Then, new skeletons from 11 to 20 would be added.

The level of these additional skeletons was fixed to the 101 level displayed in the skill.

His current level was 230.

He had about 9,000 mana.

The maximum number that could be summoned was approximately 3,600.

The first skeleton, Haeil.

To test his theory, he used the Summon skill.

— He must be over level 200 by now, right?

— He must have been over that a long time ago.

— Did you hear that? There’s a frenzy in the US because there are no B-rank skillbooks available right now.

— Yeah, they were all sold out in Korea a while ago too.

— So, it seems like...

— Yeah; it seems like Ilseong is using up all the skillbooks. They’re probably going to learn Dullahan summon soon.

— B-rank in just 3 months after Awakening? I’ve been playing for 3 years and I’m still D-rank. Is this right?

— You need to have a lot of money and talent to do that.

— True that xD.

— (Curious) How strong do you get when you learn Dullahan?

— (Info) Dullahan is where the true power of a Necromancer lies. Those guys are something else.

— (Info) Dullahan buffs the meat shields. The buffed meat shields are pretty tough.

— Necromancers are useless before B-rank, but they can definitely handle themselves from B-rank on. But that’s only if they have Dullahan.

— Yeah, but I heard it’s really hard to subjugate them. Their minds are like those of noblemen, so if you’re too humble, they’ll eat you alive, and if you try to act like their master right away, they’ll draw their swords lol

— How do you block the swords?

— Block what? You just have to stall by setting up meat shields or casting reverse summons lol

— Can’t a Necromancer defeat Dullahan?

— Those guys are smart and will only target the master, so do you think a squishy Necromancer like you can survive? lol

— I’m a Necromancer and I’ve had my struggles. But once you subjugate the first one, it’s easy from then on

— Dude, why are you even a Necromancer?

— If someone asks about the future of Necromancers, raise your head and look at Kim Minwoo.

— KIA~ Master~

— But it’s not just Necromancers. It’s a universal rule that all summoner-related classes have a hard time subjugating strong summons.

— Yeah, the Chinese Mind Emperor, he almost died trying to tame a top-tier Thunder Spirit lol

— If it were Kim Minwoo, he’d subjugate the Spirit in 5 seconds, right?

— Right? Dullahan? Merhen Noona would turn into a charcoal barbecue with a flick of her hand.

— Come to think of it, Kim Minwoo wouldn’t have much trouble subjugating them either. He has Cedric, Merhen, and he’s a swordsmanship genius himself lol

— And Dolsoe? He has that Golem too~

— Is this the same pathetic Necromancer I knew? I feel so proud.......

Amidst the flurry of posts on GateNet, a green light burst forth in front of the gate that was being broadcast on the news, and Kim Minwoo emerged.

As always, a swarm of reporters pounced on him, peppering him with questions.

“Mr. Kim Minwoo! Apparently all the B-rank skillbooks in the US are sold out. Are you planning to learn the Dullahan skill?”

“Yes, I am.”

“Oh my goodness... So you’ve reached level 251...”

“Why are you so surprised? Everyone must have guessed by now.”

Kim Minwoo’s rapid leveling was no surprise considering he was shattering A-rank gates left and right.

He had already reached level 251, which was classified as B-rank, a while ago.

‘Since Hyungseok is also supposed to be here...’

He just needed to receive the skillbook and learn how to summon Dullahan.

“Alright, I’m off then.”

He exited the gate and got into his car.

Soon, he arrived at the airport – Incheon Airport, where Hyungseok was supposed to land.

“Hey, you’ve been working hard.”

“It’s nothing.”

Hyungseok handed him the skillbook.

[Dullahan Summon (B)+9]

[This skill has already been enhanced to its maximum limit.]

[Consume 200 mana to summon LV1 Dullahan 2 (1+1).]

‘200 mana, huh.’

He realized it once again.

Summoning Merhen and Cedric.

These two skills were incredibly efficient.

It only cost 100 mana to summon the Legion Commanders.

On the other hand, it cost 200 mana to summon just two Dullahan.

‘I guess it’s only 100 mana with the Death Lord discount.’

Even considering that, it was still quite mana-intensive.

But that didn’t mean he could avoid summoning them.

“I’ll head out now.”

“Alright, study hard.”

Hyungseok nodded and boarded the plane to the United States.

After seeing him off, Kim Minwoo headed towards the training grounds of the main house.

‘I should finish this tedious task in one go.’

He immediately used the Dullahan Summon skill.

The Death Lord reduced his mana consumption, allowing him to summon two Dullahan for 100 mana.

[180 Dullahan are summoned!]

Countless headless knights filled the training grounds. The Dullahan looked at him blankly.

Their loyalty was at 40, still a poor level.

He drew his Command Sword.

“Charge. Kill them all.”

It was time for some training.
