Chapter 15 Necromancy

“Lalalala. I want to go to the sea. So I can take everything I see. Squidbop Squarepants!” Aldred pointed with his finger. “Pew pew Pew.”

Three fireballs shot towards a green fat ogre. The fireballs blasted its face and pushed it back a few steps. The ogre roared and then dashed towards him.

“I believe I can fly.” Flame jetted out of his palm that pushed him back, narrowly dodging the ogre’s wooden club.

As Aldred was in the air, he pointed with both fingers and fired. “Pew pew pew.”

The fireballs blasted the ogre’s face, and then it fell to the ground.

[EXP +60]

“This is too easy. Let’s go to the next floor of the dungeon.”

Aldred reached the end of the of the dungeon and saw a staircase that led down into the darkness. He stepped in, then suddenly he was in another floor.

Two large ogre with hideous face turned towards him. They brought a large clubs in their hand, wrapped in barbed wire. A pair of tusk came out of their mouth.

“Hello, fellas. Do you have any dinner tonight?”

“GROWL!”

Both of them charged towards him with thundering steps. He pointed both of his fingers at them.

“Pew pew pew.”

The ogres were barraged with fireballs over and over again. As they approached Aldred, they raised the clubs above their head.

Aldred quickly rushed forward and touched their disgusting, slimy, fat, oily body with his palm.

BOOM!

A jet of flame pierced through their stomach. The ogres roared in pain. Their clubs fell to the ground with a thud. The ogres staggered and then fell.

“Haha. This Flame Jet skill is so good in close range. Sadly the flame can only come out of my palm.”

[To make the flame come out of the user’s feet please upgrade Flame Jet to level 2]

“Ohh, you can do that? How much skill points do I need to upgrade it to level 2?”

[Three skill points]

Aldred hesitated. He had learned that to upgrade a skill level it might consume more than one skill points depending on each skill. Upgrading fireball to level 2 cost only two skill points. But there was a problem, he didn’t know which skills to upgrade.

Obtaining skill points would definitely be harder in the future.

[User can earn skill points through mission as well. There is a chance to obtain skill points or stat points through defeating an enemy]

“Nice. What about increasing my skill level?”

Aldred could increase his attributes by training, surely he could improve his skill through training too.

[User can learn and practice the skill to increase its level]

“I know it! Hahaha!”

Aldred looked down at the two death ogres under his feet. He recalled that he also had necromancy blessing.

[Necromancy]

The soul of the dead is for you to command

———

Aldred cleared his throat. If he recalled in the novels that he had read, to something become his soldier he had to chant something. He lifted his hand and stared at the corpse. “Powerful warrior. Rise and be my slave.”

Nothing happened. Aldred was confused. ‘Did I chant the wrong thing?’

He tried again. “Mighty warrior, rise and become my subordinates.”

Still nothing.

Aldred sighed. He kicked the corpses. “You little bitch! Wake up and become my undead!”

Black energy enveloped the two corpses and engulfed them before it turned into smokes that elongated above Aldred’s height. A leg came out of the shadow, stepping onto the stone, then slowly, an ogre came out with black skin and glowing purple lines around its body.

Another ogre came out from the other shadow. Both of them knelt, head facing the ground.

Aldred was smiling wide. “I have two ogre soldiers now. Hahaha. I will clear this dungeon and return with a million ogre or something. Then I will invade the empire. Kill the emperor and take his wife along with his whole harem! Muhahahaha!.”

“What? Don’t disturb my amazing plan.”

[Undead limit: 2/10]

“You mean I can only have 10 undead? Are you kidding me? What kind of necromancer only has 10 undead? This is nuts!”

[User can increase the limit by leveling up]

“How many limits can I get if I am at level 29?”

[User will get the maximum of 29 undead]

“What?! I will only get 1 per level?”

[The limit will doubled. Starting at level 30, user can have 60 undead]

“That’s not a lot. I need more.”

[Starting at level 60, the limit will be tripled. At level 60 user can have 180 undead]

Aldred shut his mouth to think. The limit kept on increasing exponentially as he grew in in rank. If he recalled correctly, level thirty was the start of the Silver stage, and level sixty was the start of the Gold stage.

So every time he increased his ranking or stage, his undead limit would be quadrupled or even more. But even if that was the case, that was still far away from a million undead that he’d dream of.

“Is there any other way to increase my limit?”

[Yes. By defeating other necromancer, user can absorb their undead limit]

“… That’s cannibalism.”

Realizing that the system ignored his comment, Aldred told the two undead ogres to move forward. Their large body blocked the entire view, so he told them to do a crab walk instead.

‘Now, that’s better,’ Aldred thought as the two ogres awkwardly move forward with their backs on the wall.

An ogre appeared ahead of them. Perfect chance! “Go kill it.”

The two undead ogres rushed forward. The ogre ahead of them didn’t show any fear. It roared and bashed one undead in the head with its club.

The two undead were unaffected. They raised their clubs and slammed its head. The ogre fell to the ground. Green blood leaked out of its head. The two undead raised their clubs high over their head, then with a powerful force, slammed it downward.

[EXP +60]

Aldred kicked the corpse before turning the ogre to become his third undead.

He gazed forward and noticed another stairs. “Let’s clear this dungeon.”
