Skeleton Swordsman, Skeleton Archer, Skeleton Fighter. Besides that, I spent 30 minutes walking with Ethan while killing all kinds of miscellaneous mobs in the skeleton world.

Although I could feel mental fatigue slowly building up, Ethan and I somehow managed to move towards our goal.

“Hoo, hoo, hoo… .”

“Are you okay, Lilith? If you’re having a hard time, I think it would be okay to slowly turn around at this point.”

“Oh, no… . Ah, we can go further, Master Ethan… .”

“… okay. Don’t overdo it though.”

The number of skulls I encountered on the way was more than double digits, so my mind was exhausted to some extent, but strictly speaking, I was just mentally exhausted and not particularly physically exhausted.

As long as I made up my mind, there was no big problem with the combat power itself. Of course, this is only when you can properly control your mind.

‘But on the way here, I got used to the skull itself to some extent.’

Originally, if you saw something that was gross, your threshold would rise. Sewage management workers feel less uncomfortable when they see excrement than the general public, and if you work at a pest extermination company, you may feel the same way even if Mr. Bar or Mr. Gop comes out.

I, too, had encountered so many corpses, thinking they were bandits and demons, that I had become indifferent to the corpses themselves, and now the scope was expanding to include living skeletons, so the initial goal of the test, which was to overcome my weaknesses, was met to some extent. .

‘If my memories from my past life are anything to go by, it should be normal now… .’

Although I only took this class once, I was actually quite familiar with the geography and characteristics of hunting grounds.

I was someone who couldn’t stand something suddenly popping up and surprising me while I was playing the game, so I still remember playing the game by researching overseas strategies so that I could complete my goal without going back as much as possible.

Of course, no matter how much data I researched, I couldn’t help but be surprised by the undead monsters that pop out in random encounters, so I played the game by taking a few steps and then coming back in surprise, which ended up failing to evaluate the lecture.

-Waaaah!

“Huh… . Haaah!”

-Clap!

As I somehow suppressed my boiling surprised emotions and went forward swinging my sword, an unusually clean white tombstone appeared before my eyes.

Seeing the monument we were aiming for meant that Ethan and I had reached our goal. With a small sigh of relief in my heart, I explained my next plan to Ethan.

“This area is probably the center of an old battlefield, Master Ethan.”

“Yes. It seems so. I feel like I can feel a strangely eerie energy centered around here.”

“I think it would be best to collect the strongest monsters that appear nearby, but what do you think, Master Ethan?”

“I also agree with Lilith’s opinion. For skeleton-type monsters, let’s collect the strong monsters that appear around here.”

“Confirmed.”

Now that you’ve heard Ethan’s answer, it’s time to search for monsters.

As with the monsters that have appeared so far, the names of this necromantic quest also had to be searched through random encounters.

As I walked around the white tombstone and walked around looking for monsters, I soon felt as if something was popping out from under my feet.

-grasp!

‘come!’

Could it be the Skeleton General or the Skeleton Knight?

Either way, I was preparing for battle, thinking that it wouldn’t be too bad for Ethan and I’s class assignment, but Ethan and I couldn’t help but be embarrassed by the unexpected pattern that appeared right after that.

-grasp!

“… Huh?”

-grasp! Pop! Papak!!

“Lee, release! It’s dangerous!”

Dozens of white bones suddenly popped out one after another from the floor, centered around the skeleton grip that popped out first.

It was Ethan’s urgent voice that called me, who was confused and confused by the grotesque scene unfolding before my eyes, and as soon as I hurriedly moved in the direction where I heard the voice, dozens of skeletons appeared at once from under the wasteland plain.

“… … … … … !!!!!”

Fuck.

Fuck, what is this?

I was just staring blankly at the resurrection of the skeletons in a scene so absurd that my brain refused to understand it.

The moment I thought about whether I had entered a hidden stage of 『Luminor Academy』, the skeletons in front of me suddenly gathered in the center and began to work hard to build a tower among themselves.

– Rattling.

-Rank, clatter, clatter.

‘… Wait, this can’t be right.’

I hoped it wasn’t the pattern I thought and started preparing for battle with a dagger in both hands, but I couldn’t stop the monster that had already been summoned once.

It was a moment when Ethan and I were overwhelmed by the shape of a huge golem created from dozens or hundreds of skull pieces.

“Lilith, that couldn’t be… .”

“… It seems we have awakened the most dangerous monster in this area, Master Ethan.”

‘Giant Skeleton’, the skeleton-type boss monster of the Necromancy exploration class.

It was a truly mind-boggling moment because the guy I never wanted to meet was summoned right in front of my eyes.

‘… Why on earth is that popping out now?’

Normally, he was a normal guy who only showed up around the night of the third day, the last day of the necromantic exploration class.

But today is only the first night of class, the first day. It was a monster that appeared on a day when I was tired from driving a carriage all day, so I couldn’t help but feel truly absurd.

-Wheee!

“Lilith, it’s dangerous!”

“Hggyaaa!!”

-Bagagagagagak!!

With Sei’s help, he evades the Giant Skeleton’s attack by walking slightly higher, and at the same time, dozens and hundreds of bone fragments are scattered on the ground.

It wouldn’t be impossible to deal with an enemy that could inflict small amounts of damage this way, but his continued actions made me feel more and more frustrated.

-Crack, crack, crack.

Skeleton bone fragments that gather back together around one object as if they had been broken and scattered at some point.

That terrible regenerative power forced my brain to erase emotions like fear and disgust and instead make a small determination.

‘… ‘You’d better not think of it as a battle that can be easily ended.’

I have no choice but to do my best to somehow defeat that monster, place it in an undead sealing magic stone, and proudly submit it as an assignment.

Ethan seemed to have similar thoughts as me and nodded quietly as soon as our eyes met.

-Whoa!

“Master Ethan! It’s down there!”

“Confirmed!”

A guy with a huge body, estimated to be almost 10 meters long, and a 5-meter long bone knife made of white bone fragments, comes out and threatens Ethan.

While Ethan was dodging the Giant Skeleton’s attack by launching himself into the air, I also quickly chanted and cast a quick attack spell on the Giant Skeleton.

“Explode! A bomb of magical power! Pierce through! Arrow of arcane!”

-Nod, nod.

“… … .”

I tried casting energy bolts and vision arrows at the same time to try to inflict a little bit of damage in a hurry, but it moved around quickly regenerating the area it hit as if it wasn’t much of a threat.

This is why I didn’t want to fight with this guy as much as possible.

Of all the magic I had, the only thing that could cause damage against this guy was Mana Blast, which I used over and over again.

‘There won’t be a situation where even that can be used anymore.’

The extremely long initial damage and the need to consume all magical energy always posed a considerable risk in these battles.

In particular, in this old battlefield, I couldn’t use up all my energy in the boss battle because I had to fight skeleton-type monsters on the way back.

If Ethan’s stamina was at least intact, he could use magic with ease, but since the battle had already begun, it became difficult to use such methods.

‘If I had known in advance that it was coming, I could have prepared.’

Although I was planning to avoid battles with Giant Skeletons, I knew how to fight them if I had to.

Have several shockwave spells ready to be cast in order to focus attacks on one bone, or memorize Mana Blast a little in advance so that you can end the battle as soon as a monster appears.

Of course, I don’t have time for both right now, and if I try clumsily, I can’t even try because it will only endanger Ethan, who buys me time.

‘Could it be that the ‘boss monster event with no contradictions’ that I thought about before will happen again this time?’

Given the circumstances, that was the most likely, but that made it even more questionable.

The player, Gomzoshegigot, is probably going to another exploration class right now, so I wonder why this event is happening to me and Ethan.

The system of the game world was becoming more and more questionable with each passing day, but there was no time to complain about it now.

“Master Ethan! Operation B… No, let’s go to Operation C!”

“Confirmed, Lilith!”

The most important problem that needed to be solved right away was how to somehow defeat this giant bone golem in front of us.
