The Precious Spear
Luck was luck, and what needed doing had to be done. Mu-hyuk hurried over to it and activated his skill.
Corpse Dissection begins.
Progress increases…
He stowed the Demon Horse Bone in his inventory and headed toward Sung Min-woo, who was struggling.
"Having a tough time?"
"You done?"
"Yeah."
"Help me out!"
Mu-hyuk watched for a moment.
Hmm, he's fighting well.
The synergy with his spirits was excellent.
The spirits' traits were outstanding too.
But there was no getting around the limit of just four of them.
"Help!"
"Ah, alright."
Mu-hyuk shook off his thoughts and issued commands to his skeletons. Only then did Sung Min-woo let out a long sigh of relief as he made his way over to Mu-hyuk's side.
"Hoo, I'm beat."
"Then why'd you come over?"
"Lemme rest a bit."
"Hunt first, then rest."
Mu-hyuk gave Sung Min-woo a shove on the back.
"Ah, quit it!"
Grumbling all the while, he had no choice but to head toward the demon horse. Mu-hyuk, too, directed his skeletons while slowly closing the distance.
He positioned a Bone Sword at blink range and watched for an opening.
Using the same method as in the previous fights, they finally took down the last remaining demon horse. The two split the magic gems.
Increases by 0.1
Afterward, Mu-hyuk summoned a mage and extracted one of the bones forming its body.
Mage1's Knowledge (0.14) decreases.
The mage tilted its head.
Kiririk.
Back when the other skeletons' wisdom hadn't reached 10 yet, they hadn't even reacted like this.
Now that its wisdom was over 10, though, it managed at least this much of a response.
"Don't worry. I'm doing this to make you better."
He inserted the Demon Horse Bone he held into the empty spot.
Mage1's Knowledge (0.26) increases.
Mage1's Wisdom (0.16) increases.
Mu-hyuk's eyes widened.
Oh, two at once.
If a Demon Horse Bone had two traits and the summon's stats were significantly lower than those on the monster's bone, there was a low chance both stats would rise.
Mu-hyuk extracted a bone from another spot.
This time, the thigh bone.
Mage1's Wisdom (0.14) decreases.
Then he inserted the Demon Horse Bone.
Mage1's Knowledge (0.26) increases.
He repeated the process twice more, boosting Mage1's knowledge. Then he raised Mage2's knowledge by one, using up all the Demon Horse Bones.
The rest could wait.
He unsummoned all the skeletons.
"Let's rest a bit."
"I've been resting already, dude."
"Oh yeah."
Come to think of it, it had been pretty noisy.
Taang!
It was the sound of Sung Min-woo's hammer striking as he crafted gear.
"Whoa, I'm concentrating here!"
Mu-hyuk pulled out a disposable crafting tool.
Wonder what'll come out this time.
He pondered briefly before deciding.
Spear it is.
He set down the iron ore and hammered it.
Kaaang!
The iron ore stretched out in one go.
Hit the grain.
Progress (4.2%) increases.
Ten strikes in, and progress was already over 50%.
A few more strikes.
Perfectly hit the grain.
Progress applied at double rate.
Progress (8.3%) increases.
7 consecutive grain hits.
