Chapter 48
 
     Seo Dawon summoned Lackey immediately. “Lackey!” It was strange to hear my voice from this third person perspective.
     It seemed that [Possession] did not simply allow the Mage to just enter my body but also allowed him to fully use any of my skills without limitation.
     Lackey, who was tussling with the crow, was called back to Seo Dawon’s side.
[Clack Clack Clack!]
     Lackey, who looked around bewildered, stomped its feet when it saw Seo Dawon. Fortunately, it didn’t rush at the Mage like before. Kim Sangyoon also returned safely to us, albeit with the scent of blood hanging heavily on his battered self. “Gasp…Gasp……I-I thought I was going to die….”
     “Sangyoon-ah.”
     “Yes?” Kim Sangyoon sputtered, cold sweat rolling down his back. Seo Dawon spoke in a…..how should I describe it…A friendly but chilling voice?
     What’s wrong with him? I looked at the two interacting sullenly. Kim Sangyoon was drawn closer to Seo Dawon–wearing my body–as if he were bewitched.
      Seo Dawon had even placed my arm around Kim Sangyoon’s shoulders. The Warrior had no choice but to bend his knees when Seo Dawon reached up to whisper into his ears.
     “Lend me Berserker for a moment.” Seo Dawon said.
     “Ye……..What?”
     “Unequip Berserker and hand it over.”
     Kim Sangyoon trembled as if he were splashed with cold water. “I-I can’t…This is….”
     Seo Dawon slapped both his cheeks very weakly. “You’re not even using it properly. Let me borrow it for a while, hm?”
     “….That……But…..”
     “Don’t you want to hand it over while I’m still feeling nice?”
     Eventually, with shaking hands, Kim Sangyoon placed the blood-soaked Berserker in [my] hands.
     I flew to Seo Dawon’s side. “You…know how to use a sword?” I asked.
     Contrary to my expectations, Seo Dawon shook his head.
     “Well then, why…..”
     “Come here, little woodpecker.” Seo Dawon called out, interrupting my muttering. He was talking to Lackey, just a few steps away.
     I tried to correct him–It’s Lackey, not woodpecker!–but Seo Dawon pretended not to hear me and instead brandished the gigantic greatsword. In one fell swoop, he twirled the handle and pounded the blunt edge on Lackey’s head.
     I immediately felt that it would be useless to insist on proper use of my skeleton’s name….Of course, Lackey turned to look at Seo Dawon, trembling in agitation, but I reached out and attempted to appease him again, “Let’s hold it in, Lackey…..Just this once, be patient….” I begged the skeleton to stay calm.
     “Servant, change weapons.” Seo Dawon, amused, barked a [command] that I had never heard before.
     Lackey’s current weapon’s status window opened before our very eyes. I had no idea this function existed, and, of course, the default weapon was quite terrible.

     “At this rate, that goose’s sashimi knife would be stronger than this.” Seo Dawon clicked his tongue.
     My cheeks flushed red at Seo Dawon’s unimpressed tone.
     I didn’t know that I could change Lackey’s equipment for something stronger….! Even to my eyes, Lackey’s original weapon was quite bleak, so I asked him, “Berserker…Are you going to give that to Lackey?”
     “Anything’s better than this…Replace Equipment.” Seo Dawon immediately switched the bone sword with Berserker.
     Lackey glanced at the new weapon in its hands and then stared at us. He looked as if he didn’t know what to make of this new sword.
     “Now, let’s have our Sangyoon-ie use this bone sword for a while.” Seo Dawon said.
     The bone sword was handed off to Kim Sangyoon, whose demeanor seemed vaguely depressed. Seo Dawon passed by him nonchalantly and approached the still motionless Lackey.

     In a low voice, he whispered, “Listen to me well when I give orders. If you don’t, you might not be able to see Lee-kyung-ie in this form again in the future.”
     Lackey raised its head sharply and looked towards my soul with mournful eye sockets.
     It seems Seo Dawon’s no stranger to blackmail…
     I clicked my tongue, but I couldn’t tell Lackey to disregard Seo Dawon’s orders. For now, the catastrophe in front of us was a bigger issue.
     Though Lackey glared at Seo Dawon–as if he wanted to charge the man and fight to the death–fortunately, that did not happen.
     In the meantime, all four birds looked at us gathering our defenses and preparing for battle.
[So, you’re finally coming forward?]
     The goose said, offhandedly. It must have been wary of the unknown factor that retreated in the middle of the battle–the probable cause for all the previous lightning damage.
     “It’s been a long time since I’ve seen Owl…I feel sorry for the staff.” Seo talked to himself, ignoring the goose’s pointed remarks. He calmly met the goose’s murderous gaze and held my ghostly hand.
     At that moment, something whistled through the air. A feather struck the ground near Seo Dawon’s feet.
     It was one of the peacock’s blue feathers.
–Boom!
     As soon as it pierced the ground, I heard a momentary ticking noise before the feather exploded like a bomb. Thankfully, Seo Dawon had avoided most of the attack, exercising his reflexes as he quickly stepped back.
     As the dust settled, I was a little relieved to see him standing without any injury; Seo Dawon lightly brushed some debris off my dusty hair. “Hey, Kim Sangyoon. Run straight forward,” he ordered.
     Kim Sangyoon, who had seemed extra nervous since the peacock feather’s explosion, flinched but did not fail to run out, holding the Bone Sword.
     “Lackey, 3 o’clock direction, ‘Rending Cleave.'”
     Seo Dawon summoned Lackey in front of him and started barking orders. As soon as it was summoned, Lackey rushed at the crane, who lept for Seo Dawon’s shoulders, and used Berserker’s skill [Rending Cleave] on it.
     Involuntarily releasing an ungainly sound, the Crane avoided the bite, but he couldn’t avoid the dagger thrown by Seo Dawon. The second attack penetrated its wings–a perfectly executed time difference attack.
[Kwaaakkk!]
      The crane staggered from the pain. Both Seo Dawon and Lackey were relentless in their pursuit.
      The problem, however, was that even if the crane’s wings were injured, it could deliver powerful blows with its feet. Lackey approached the reeling crane from the back, but the bird suddenly turned around with a spinning kick. Thankfully, Lackey avoided most of it, but the talons grazed past its left shoulder–the non-dominant arm. The shoulder broke, causing the arm to slump and fail to function.
     As a skeleton, Lackey seemed to feel no pain, but it was certainly slowed down by this setback. Seo Dawon resummoned Lackey back to his side.
     “Lee-kyung-ah, I have a question.”
     “Yeah?”
      “…Something minute like a broken shoulder won’t cause Lackey to be reverse summoned, right?”
     “Uh…Probably? It’s not really a core part. If the jewel inside its skull gets crushed, however, Lackey will get recalled….” As soon as I answered, I regretted it because Seo Dawon immediately broke off Lackey’s shoulder and separated its left arm.
     Perhaps due to the earlier threats, Lackey flinched but did not otherwise rebel.
     Shocked, I shouted, “What are you doing?” However, before Dawon could answer, the crane’s skill attack barreled into us first.
[Die!!!]
     The crane’s spinning kick, like a windmill, tore past so fast that air molecules must have ripped apart. Seo Dawon narrowly dodged and eventually collapsed where he stood.
     The crane raised its feet high, triumphantly, and aimed its next stomp at Seo Dawon’s neck. Though Seo Dawon rolled and survived, the crane’s kick was so fast that it seemed that a proper hit was only a matter of time.
     “Lackey!” In the end, Seo Dawon summoned the skeleton again. However, it was significantly more sluggish than the crane due to the missing arm. Lackey couldn’t properly catch up to the crane’s speed.
      On the other hand, though the crane had injured its wings, its main skills were centered in its long corded legs. Lackey was unable to properly penetrate the defenses and the bird turned its attention back to Seo Dawon.
     The crane returned to its plan of breaking the Mage’s–my–neck. Suddenly, a gruesome, hair-rising sound filled the air.
[Argh, Ahhhhhkkkk!!!]
     The crane fell down and screamed; one of its legs was twisted in a bizarre and unnatural direction–completely broken.
      And clasped onto the broken crane’s leg was Lackey’s left arm, which Seo Dawon had removed earlier; the skeletal fingers tightened and moved as if it were alive.
     I was so shocked to see the arm move separately from the body that I froze for a moment. “T-that’s…How…?”
     “Your skeleton’s an undead.” Seo Dawon succinctly said, standing up and dusting himself off. He lifted my foot and stepped on the crane’s face in mockery of the crane’s original plans.
     With a poof! a system alarm, [Your level has significantly increased], appeared before my eyes.
 
 
TL: Seo Dawon bullies Lackey, and Lackey definitely dislikes Dawon, lmao. What a mess.
I’m planning on uploading two chapters sometime tomorrow or the day after! See you then!
