Game Merchants Starting from the Ninja World.

Chapter 57 Necromancer

"Not a necromancer, but a death mage?"

Fang Yi looked surprised. He had vaguely sensed the presence of the undead, but he hadn't expected it to be a necromancer.

The necromancer is a fairly common undead class.

It can summon skeletons and spirits from the dead to help the caster in battle. Although it is rather eerie, it is still within the range of public acceptance.

But necromancers are like rats in the street the moment they appear.

They also control skeletons and wraiths in battle.

The difference is that mages summon wandering spirits that naturally arise from the dead, while wizards do it entirely on their own.

Skeletons and wandering spirits mostly come from graveyards and mass graves.

Skilled in experimentation, they use the bones and lingering souls of the dead to create undead creatures.

As for the reason why they are disliked

Imagine this: when your loved ones are killed by the enemy, your teammates all decide to help you.

The priest raises his rosary, releasing holy light and energy, determined to help you eliminate the evildoer.

The berserker grips his twin axes, giving you encouragement.

A thief emerges from the shadows and stands beside you.

Only the necromancer raised his staff and summoned a bunch of skeletons, then pointed at them and said, "I will help you defeat your enemies, as well as your dead wife and parents, oh yes, and your son who is not yet a month old, I have also made him a vengeful spirit, he can also do his part."

At this point, do you want to kill the enemy first, or do you want to kill him first?

However, considering Orochimaru's past misdeeds, his disregard for life, and his collaboration with Danzo Shimura to conduct human experiments in order to break the Wood Release, it seems that the profession of necromancer is indeed more suitable for him.

Orochimaru later used himself as an experiment to abandon his human identity, becoming the White Scale Serpent, completely giving up all morality and bottom lines related to humanity, simply wanting to live a more perfect life.

"A necromancer?"

Upon receiving the message, Orochimaru's lips curled up, and he couldn't help but laugh.

Limited by the weakness of the ninja world and the narrowness of his own vision, he only now realized that there was such a suitable path for him.

Despised and hunted?

In the face of absolute truth, what is so terrible about these trivial matters?

Orochimaru had long betrayed the village, betrayed his former best friend, and even went to the Chunin Exams this time because he wanted to kill his elderly mentor with his own hands.

He was unafraid of the shackles and judgments of human society; he only wanted to pursue immortality.

Necromancer

They can manipulate souls and flesh, and even modify their own souls and flesh to make them immortal.

"bring it on."

Orochimaru used his special item without hesitation.

Puffs of pitch-black smoke frantically seeped into his body and soul, causing him to howl in pain.

Finally, having fully completed his inauguration, Orochimaru lay on the ground, his body covered in muddy flesh and blood, like a demon crawling out of the abyss.

He stood up.

Picking up the necromancer's staff dropped by the goblin zombie, he glanced at the massive corpse and said, "What a foolish creature, actually fusing itself with that filthy flesh and blood?"

The most basic knowledge about necromancers was passed down in my mind.

The stronger the life force and soul, the more powerful and perfect the creatures it can create.

Orochimaru even gleaned from the inscriptions left on the stone tablets the existence of terrifying creatures known as dragons in the world, with lifespans exceeding tens of thousands of years and possessing the powerful ability to easily destroy a country.

He quickly logged into the game and, after appearing in the starting village, swiftly opened the in-game store.

"Just like the game merchant said, can we only find high-level items after reaching a certain level?"

Orochimaru searched the game store with great anticipation, but found no item to exchange for the dragon's remains.

The system indicates that the required level is insufficient.

There were a bunch of dragon carcasses, which were either monsters whose bloodlines had changed after being tainted by dragon blood, or monsters with diluted dragon bloodlines.

The cheapest item costs as much as 200,000, which is not something I can afford to exchange for right now.

"These goblins cannot be wasted."

Orochimaru took out the skeleton he had previously stored away from his backpack, and bursts of purplish-black necromantic energy poured out.

This is a skill he awakened after becoming a necromancer: [Resurrection of Bones].

A malevolent ability to summon soldiers by consuming flesh and blood.

The goblin's hand bones, leg bones, and other materials were quickly consumed and eventually fused together to create a crimson-skinned goblin that was two meters tall, much like the one created by the goblin in the trial.

Orochimaru chuckled to himself, "I was just laughing at others, but it turns out my strength is nothing special."

He possesses ghoul blood.

Although it is a rudimentary bloodline, it has a natural affinity for the death attribute and gains a bonus when mastering death attribute skills.

Therefore, although this crimson goblin looks similar to the one in the training ground, it is much stronger in combat.

This is why bloodlines are so expensive.

According to Fang Yi's plan, most players only choose to save money to exchange for bloodlines when they encounter a bottleneck in leveling up and urgently need to improve their strength.

Only Orochimaru, a special player obsessed with immortality, would be willing to spend a high price to buy it in the early stages.

Successfully purchased Experience Capsule and Proficiency Capsule.

Orochimaru, being wealthy and extravagant, bought a large number of capsules directly from the game store without any hesitation.

The Skeleton Restoration skill was upgraded to level 5 in the blink of an eye.

Professional skills can be directly applied to real life without certification.

But skill-created items cannot.

Just like if Orochimaru buys flesh and blood materials from the game store and then uses his skills to create an undead monster, the essence of that undead monster still belongs to the game.

Fang Yi would never allow players to exploit such a loophole.

[Certified reel purchase successful!]

Orochimaru didn't care at all and directly purchased the certification scroll, successfully certifying the Crimson Goblin.

After doing a series of things, he finally woke up slowly.

"Lord Orochimaru!"

The Sound Four immediately knelt down, not even having the courage to look Orochimaru in the eye.

In the brief moment when the other person lost consciousness,

He seemed to have undergone a complete transformation, emanating an even colder aura. If he was like a venomous snake before, he was now like a dead man returning from the abyss, exuding a chilling deathly aura.

Orochimaru's voice was hoarse as he spoke, "Get up, all of you. Thank you for protecting me."

That's what they say.

Actually, right after logging into the game after the trial ended, I had already redeemed a protective shield to prevent being ambushed, as prompted by the game.

He doesn't trust anyone, not even Kimimaro, whom he raised from childhood, let alone the four experimental subjects.

After experiencing the game, Orochimaru decided to change his plans.

Orochimaru stuck out his tongue and licked his chin, saying, "Tayuya, have your summoning beast send a secret message to the spies lurking in Konoha, saying that the plan needs to be slightly changed."

I need a lot of money right now.

Only in this way can we continuously exchange flesh and blood materials to create powerful undead creatures. The ghoul bloodline also needs rewards to be exchanged in reality.

The Sound Village is too small; they only sold 50,000 worth of rewards.

He even began to regret his haste; he should have preserved the continuous flow of money generated by the Sound Village, which would have allowed for a steady and sustainable income.

But it doesn't matter, the Leaf Village in front of us is large enough.

A series of strange, encrypted characters were written on Tayuya's summoned beast, and then the summoning disappeared.

Danzo also played a role in the establishment of the Sound Village.

The two are still in secret contact. Danzo has always used Orochimaru to seek benefits, and this time he also wants to realize his own ambitions through Danzo.
