Soul Devourer Chapter 1 Episode 52 — Testing【Necromancy】

Editor:
Once I reached near the boss room, I immediately started testing【Necromancy】. First, I needed to know what kinds of undead I could summon.

The moment I tried activating the magic, the possible summons came to me intuitively. To make it clear, I listed them out.


━━━━━━━━━━
Summonable Monsters

• Skeleton Knight
• Skeleton Magician
• Skeleton King
• Lich

━━━━━━━━━━


The Knight, Magician, and King are monsters from C-rank dungeons, while the Lich is from the A-rank dungeon.

There are other undead monsters in the world, but it seems I can’t summon those. I don’t know the exact conditions, but I can guess.

Either I need to have seen the monster before, or I need to have defeated it.

Seeing one is easy enough, so defeating it is probably the real requirement.

Next, I tried actually summoning them while paying attention to how much magic power they consumed.

I started with the Skeleton Knight. Checking the magic consumption, then looking forward, I saw it had a chipped longsword and round shield, with the same number and levels of skills as the originals.

If giving it simple commands allows it to act independently, then I wouldn’t need to personally deal with monsters or hunters ranked C or below.


“No… wait. My Unique Skill’s effects only apply to me. At best they’ll be decoys or distractions.”


I moved on and summoned a Skeleton Magician, checking the consumption as well. Both the Knight and Magician used 20 magic each.

With my magic power now exceeding 2,000, that meant I could summon around a hundred at once. I could single-handedly unleash a swarm that rivaled a stampede.

After that, I summoned a Skeleton King and a Lich. Their magic consumption was 30 and 50 respectively.

Even Liches could be summoned in numbers — up to about forty. And since those Liches could summon Skeleton Knights themselves, they could build an even deadlier undead army.


“An undead army alone could take on an S-rank hunter.”


Feeling satisfied with how much stronger I’d become, I moved on to the final test.

I cut down the four unmoving summons with my dagger… but there were no stat gains and no skill notifications.


“…As expected, I don’t get experience from monsters I summon myself.”


It was what I predicted, so it didn’t bother me much. If I want to get stronger, I just need to fight properly like always.

And after they died, their materials vanished without a trace. It seems I can’t cheat material profits either.

Alright, my body’s rested enough. Time to focus and take on the boss.

E/N:

I remember reading a WN where the Lich (especially one specialising in Wind magic) gave a lot of trouble for the MC. Yuito in that universe would be a menace 😂! Stay tuned!

    Now I think he himself looks more like the Shadow Monarch from the bargain sales bin?

It Seems the Convenience Store Clerk Ossan That Got Dragged Into the Teleportation of an Entire Class Will Make Use of the Leftover Skills the Heroes Didn’t Want and Become the Strongest

Editor:
Image
                   Author: Ayase Hiura A middle-aged convenience store clerk gets caught up in a hero summoning and is transported to another world! Yuichi Otogi, a dull 35-year-old single man, gets dragged into what's known as a "class transfer" to another world. While the summoned heroes each receive a cheat skill from the goddess and are reincarnated, Otogi was only caught up in the summoning by accident—so all the cheats were already taken, and he didn’t get one. As a consolation, the goddess forcibly dumps into him a bunch of leftover, discarded skills she had gathered for cheat-skill reference and sends him off to the other world. His stats are low, and his skills seem useless. But the old guy doesn’t give up. Before he knows it, he finds himself surrounded by girls—and even some pretty boys—who, for some reason, are all fond of him. And he doesn’t entirely dislike the attention, either. When he makes full use of those...

Konbini Ossan Volume 1 Chapter 25 – Herb Gathering and Skill Imbuing

Editor:
After dealing with the man, I checked the requests posted at the guild. Requests are broadly divided into two types:   - One is the standard request — These are the ones taken on by a single adventurer or a party, and the job ends once the request is fulfilled.   - The other is called a permanent request — For example, exterminating wolves or gathering medicinal herbs – jobs that are always available and have no limit. These do not require prior acceptance at the counter; simply bringing proof of the monster hunt or collected materials will be enough to process the request as completed. No matter how many times these are fulfilled, permanent requests are never withdrawn. By the time I checked the requests, it was already early afternoon, so the easy jobs had all been taken. Therefore, I didn’t formally accept any request and decided to fulfill a permanent one instead. Among them, the one I aimed for was herb gathering . There were several reasons, but the main one was simple —...

Konbini Ossan Volume 2 Chapter 26 — A Man Named Yuichi Otsugi

Editor:
After Shuri-kun deliciously took my virginity, the two of us returned to the shop and completed various contracts in writing. Arisa looked curiously at Shuri-kun, who seemed a bit worn out. But she likely didn’t suspect that Shuri-kun and I had done the deed. Surely, we hadn’t been found out. Or rather, we must not be found out. If Arisa knew, she might genuinely start to hate me. Living together while being looked at like filth by my own niece… That kind of hell is unbearable even to imagine. And yet— Thinking about it more, maybe it wouldn’t be so bad in the short term? (E/N: You masochist freak Unc! 🤣) Well, let's set irrelevant thoughts aside for now. After signing the contracts with me and promising to formalize them later with official documents from the royal palace, Shuri-kun and Marceline went home. Then the peak business hours came, which Arisa and I handled together, and night eventually fell. There was no one left in the shop. At this time, we rarely get customers. Occ...
