One by one the skeletons crawled out of the pile of bones. Then, they picked up their weapons and lined up in a line. They began to snowball to hundreds in an instant. They slowly raised their heads. A blue eye light was emitting from their hollow eyes.
â You are given the command over the Apocalypse Army (Prisoners).
* Assault Warriors of the Ancient Conquest Empire (150 players)
* Shield Warriors of the Ancient Conquest Empire (150 players)
* Elite Archers of the Ancient Conquest Empire (150 players)
* Iron Armored Knights of the Ancient Conquest Empire (50 players)
* Dark Priests of the Ancient Conquest Empire (50 players)
Sungwoo didnât know the details about this skeleton army, but all of them were fully armed.
They were not simply wearing shallow armor, but they were armed with items containing magical power. They seemed to be at least hero level.
âEach of them is a well-armed player.â
Sungwoo noticed that purple chains were wrapped around their necks. He didnât know much about it, but it seemed that he could control them with the chains.
Rattle! Rattle!
They numbered a total of 550. While they were raising their bodies on the ground and sorting their weapons, 550 extra shadow soldiers were created. It was a moment when 1,100 soldiers were recruited at once.
So now, under the root of the world tree, it seemed that the huge underground space was reminiscent of the terracotta army of Emperor Qinâs Mausoleum in China.
âRattle! Master, you are truly the Lord of Death!â
Victor, the natural undead, grated his teeth, with both hands trembling violently as if he admired Sungwoo.
âWow! They befit the title of the undead corps!â said Minseok, who couldnât help but admire Sungwoo, either.
Honestly, Sungwoo was surprised because the power of his army increased tenfold in one day.
But that wasnât the end. Immediately after Sungwoo summoned the Apocalypse Army, a black wave spread across the ground. It was as if the water was filling up.
Whoooooooo-
And gray smoke slowly rose.
â A certain area (10km) has been declared as a âdeath placeâ.
This was the effect of the famine power among the âPower of the 4 Knights of Apocalypseâ skills.
â The area (10km) will temporarily enter the âAbyssâ and âSpace Overlapâ state.
* The âPeople of the Abyssâ takes effect. The attack power and defense power of the undead army increase. (+10%)
* Random grade âOwnerless Zombiesâ are generated in random numbers (maximum 5) at a certain period of time (1 minute).
âZombies can be replenished in real-time?â
âDeath Placeâ overlapped with the space called âthe abyssâ, which was like the hometown of the undead. In other words, Sungwooâs army was going to grow more and more as time went on.
With such an overwhelming force under his control, Sungwoo looked up at the World Eater, whose face turned even more gloomy.
âWhat do you think? Do you still think Iâve not changed at all?â Sungwoo asked.
â...â
âYeah, if you still donât know, let me make you feel it.â
At that moment, Sungwooâs undead army began to move and turned into a huge wave to charge at the World Eater. Hundreds of bows and magic were fired, followed by the arrival of more undead troops.
Rattle! Rattle! Rattle!
Along with the footsteps of the undead army, the sound of their bones clashing resonated through the unknown space.
âThey are heavy.â
Obviously, Sungwoo felt something pretty different from when he mobilized a couple of undead armies in the past. The difference was so huge that he felt like he was running a large truck instead of a small car in the past.
âYeah, it means they are very destructive.â
The attack by such a large number of the undead army was unprecedented.
The new âApocalypse Armyâ was definitely different from the general skeletons. Even though Sungwoo didnât give them an order, they knew how to use systematic tactics on their own.
They divided their forces and surrounded the enemy. The skeletons with the shields advanced first. By the time the âDark Priestsâ were giving buffs to them, those in the rear fired shots at the World Eater all of a sudden.
Shhhhhhhhhh!
They also threw things like bomb sacks, which released Abyssal Breath while they were exploding.
Rattle! Rattle!
Seizing the moment, the âIron Armored Knightsâ rushed toward the World Eater.
They were so swift and overwhelming that they would have smashed the typical enemy in an instant. But their opponent was the mighty World Eater.
âAre you going to kill me with such shabby tactics?â the World Eater shouted.
As expected, the World Eater was not an easy opponent.
Bang!
The moment he set foot on the ground, a shock wave was generated, blowing away the armored knights who were closing in on him.
Then his sword burned red, which was about to explode at any moment.
Feeling uneasy, Sungwoo backed away as far as possible.
At that moment, the World Eater swung the sword at Sungwoo.
Kwagagaga!
A pillar of fire erupted, but the skeletons threw themselves first to form a shield to protect Sungwoo.
âFire Breath?â
It was an overwhelming flame that could be called the dragonâs flame breath.
Dozens of large skeletons melted in an instant. If they melted like that, it would be difficult to resurrect them, Sungwoo thought.
âNecromancer!â
When faced with the undead army charging at him with vehemence, the World Eater smashed them one after another, targeting Sungwooâs heart.
âYou canât come close to me.â
Stepping back, Sungwoo analyzed the situation. He might have had his heart taken away by the World Eater if he had not obtained the power of the 4 Knights of Apocalypse.
No matter how many skeletons he had dispatched to block the World Eater, the latter would have broken through them and dealt a fatal blow to Sungwoo.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âBut you canât do it now.â
Sungwoo became much stronger than before. So all the World Eater could do was to get out of Sungwooâs fierce attack.
âFinally, that monster is getting exhausted.â
Sungwoo could see the World Eaterâs mouth slowly opening.
âHow can the level 43 knight-type player get exhausted so easily?â
Sungwoo thought it was strange. Even the Tsar, who was much lower level than the World Eater, confronted Sungwooâs undead army but never showed he became exhausted.
âObviously, the World Eaterâs condition is not good.â
Since he had been asleep in the capsule for a very long time, it looked like the World Eater had a mental and physical problem. Besides, he wasnât armed with any items, so it was obvious that he couldnât show his skills fully.
âYeah, I can beat him!â
Dodging his attack adroitly, Sungwoo took out another item.
[Item information]

Woooooooo-
Ten spirits appeared around Sungwoo.

* Not affected by âphysical attackâ.
* You can âcontrolâ the weapons of âall gradesâ.
* You can issue the curse of âconfusionâ to the attack target.

Sungwoo scattered all his items in the air. At that moment, ten ghosts ran toward them and snatched them away.
