Episode 130
After a week, I left the neighborhood and went to a station on the outskirts of Seoul.
“Driver. Please take care of us.”
“Yes.”
Haaaaam.
I had been hammering for days without rest.
I sat in the chairman’s seat, closed my eyes, and when I opened them, we had arrived.
“Are you alright?”
“I feel a bit better.”
“You must have been very tired. You were even snoring.”
Ugh.
How tired must I have been to sleep while snoring in the car.
But saying I felt better wasn’t just empty words.
Heavenly Martial Body is truly the best.
When I got out of the car, the support team friends who had arrived first greeted me.
“Boss. Are you feeling alright?”
Huh?
Seong-su. What do you mean by that.
“I heard you blocked a gate on the verge of breaking by yourself.”
“Yes. I did, well.”
“When you said you’d rest for a week, I thought you were seriously injured.”
“Boss. Are you really okay?”
Mi-jeong also asked with a worried tone.
Sir Isra shook his head left and right and even clicked his tongue.
“Foolish. As long as I, Isra, am here, my lord is safe.”
“Ah. I see.”
“Hahahaha! With my lord’s first sword here, what is there to fear!”
“Ha, haha.”
“Hahaha.”
Everyone forced laughter at Sir Isra’s hearty laughter.
Please everyone, put some soul into it.
I pretended not to see my embarrassing subordinate that I couldn’t show anywhere.
“But didn’t you all have schedules?”
“Since you said you’d rest for a week. We also rested for six days.”
“On the last day, we felt like you might call us, so we waited on standby.”
Wow.
These people know me too well.
Such perceptive team members.
“Seong-su. Could you give us the briefing?”
“Yes. The gate we’re entering today is a place called the Mage’s Tomb.”
[Mage’s Tomb]
Grade: B
Entry Limit: B ~ D(20)
As the name suggests, it’s a gate where magic-type undead appear.
“Wow.”
“Magic types are a bit tricky though.”
No.
It’s not that I’m burdened by it.
An exclamation naturally came out from the joy rising from deep in my lungs.
I was worrying since I only had Dark Hoods and Skeleton Mages.
A B-rank gate with mainly magic-type undead appears.
Is it okay for my luck to be this good?
President Baek, who was brewing coffee, shouted loudly.
“I’ve made a request to the Rift Management Agency! To prioritize contracts for B-rank gates with undead!”
Aha.
It wasn’t just pure luck.
It was thanks to President Baek’s consideration.
“Does the Rift Management Agency show us that much consideration?”
“You’re Ranger Number One, aren’t you. You should enjoy what you can enjoy.”
Wow.
Everyone at the Rift Management Agency, I love you.
Fortunately, it’s a condition where even the support team can enter.
B-rank has strict entry restrictions, but it worked out well.
While listening to the briefing.
The hunters dispatched from the Rift Management Agency arrived.
“I’m Cha Jong-won from Response Department 4th Division.”
“Yes. Please take care of us.”
The hunters dispatched as escorts were all ten people.
Due to the Black Heaven Society incident, they’re providing more thorough security.
President Baek bowed his head.
“The Rift Management Agency is a department suffering from chronic manpower shortages, yet they’re showing us a lot of consideration.”
“Hunter Park is a special person.”
Ugh.
This is embarrassing.
“Hahaha. The public servants of this country know how to judge people.”
Why is Sir Isra butting in.
After a small commotion, we entered the gate.
“It’s eerie.”
“Gates with undead are a bit like that.”
The support team friends rubbed their arms with their hands.
The earth dyed pitch black.
Here and there on the ground, ownerless tombstones were placed alone.
Crack, white bones suddenly popped out above the ground.
[Skeleton Wizard]
Large gems attached to the forehead and both shoulders.
Through the worn robe, hollow bones were clearly visible.
The disparity between the gems and clothing.
That guy must be the main monster of the gate.
『You dare enter the land of the dead without fear.』
“A dead thing without fear dares to hold its head up high.”
Sir Isra.
You’re being a bit harsh?
『Insolent thing. You too will experience death.』
“I will never experience death.”
Don’t lie.
You already died once.
“Since I was resurrected, it’s as if it never happened, right?”
Well, if that’s what he says, what can I do.
[Necromancy]
Crackle!
The massive monster called Brute, made from a mixture of rotting soil and flesh, glared with bulging eyes.
The Rift Management Agency Hunters standing in the rear ranks flinched.
“Are you alright, Hunter Park?”
“Huh?”
“Brute is a troublesome monster.”
An incredibly sturdy body.
It’s also excellent at managing aggro, making it difficult to bypass and break through.
The Skeleton Wizard in the rear will trust the Brute and unleash free damage.
Each individual is quite powerful, but when they appear as a combination, they become even more difficult to defeat.
“Honestly, I think our entire team would need to move to handle this.”
“Oh my. It’s fine.”
This worked out perfectly.
It’s exactly the right enemy to test my new undead’s performance.
“Haha. Time to show off our new member’s skills.”
[Gale Knight Order Summoning]
Five Abyss Revenants appeared before Sir Isra.
You have no idea how much I suffered making those.
75 undead created over the course of one week.
Honestly, forget testing or whatever, I just want to sleep.
Sigh.
I need to rest before going to the Tower of Chaos.
I needed to confirm how well the theories I came up with while working would hold up in actual combat.
“Unit 1. Annihilate the enemy.”
“Understood.”
One Abyss Revenant advanced while scattering an ominous aura.
Sir Isra watched with his arms crossed.
I could see the Rift Management Agency Hunters fidgeting restlessly.
I understood their position.
They came to provide escort, so they’d be worried but could only watch.
Don’t worry.
My undead are handmade.
“Gwaaaack.”
The Brute let out a sound like retching and charged forward.
Thud, thud.
The ground shook heavily, reflecting its weight of over one ton.
“Enemy. Eliminate.”
Whooooom!
“My, my goodness.”
“Aura?!”
“Abyss Revenants can use aura, though imperfectly.”
“That’s not an imperfect level.”
[Aura]
[Imperial Swordsmanship 1st Form]
A longsword that looked like a doubled version of [Fallen Knight’s Bone Sword] left a blue line in the air.
Slash!
Clean movement.
The Brute’s waist, thicker than a tree trunk, was severed in two.
“Hahaha. You’re doing well as you were taught.”
Aura.
The power of destruction granted to those who have gained enlightenment.
Sir Isra shared his enlightenment with the Abyss Revenants who became knight order members.
Unlike the Armed Zombie Enhanced, the Abyss Revenants could deploy aura, albeit clumsily.
The result was the sword strike that cut down the Brute in one blow.
“How nice for them.”
Someone gets to use Imperial Swordsmanship at 100% comprehension just by becoming a knight order member.
Meanwhile, I have to swing my sword while dripping with sweat for my comprehension to crawl up bit by bit.
It’s unfair.
So unfair!
“Hyung-nim. You’re not serious about that, right?”
“Ah. I’m joking.”
“We’re the ones who should feel unfair, if you put it that way.”
“We get scolded by Sir Isra for being slow all the time.”
I’m sorry.
I’m the sinner here.
Sob sob sob.
“The Brute. In one strike!”
“You. Eliminate.”
“Dead one. Kill.”
[Burst Flare]
A sphere more than ten times larger than Fireball was launched.
“That’s Burst Flare, a B-rank magic.”
“It’s dangerous to face head-on.”
“You’ll take considerable damage unless you spread your aura wide.”
Slash!
The Burst Flare, cut in half, scattered left and right while spewing flames.
Hiss!
Some of the flames touched the Abyss Revenant’s skin but evaporated with smoke.
“Well done. You cut through the fabric of magic.”
“…”
“…”
Don’t look at me with such surprised eyes.
I thought cutting magic with a sword was Sir Isra’s exclusive specialty.
Knight order members can also perform the feat of cutting magic?
Though it was far less refined compared to Sir Isra.
With the powerful ability called aura, it succeeded in suppressing the destructive power of Burst Flare as much as possible.
Crack!
[Experience gained.]
The B-rank monsters Brute and Skeleton Wizard were destroyed without being able to properly fight back.
Even though the Abyss Revenant is a B+ rank monster.
It showed performance beyond common sense.
“Well done, Unit 1.”
If Unit 1, which was made first and has inferior specs, is this good.
How strong must the rest be?
Seeing it in actual combat made me feel even more confident.
“Shall we pick up the pace a bit?”
“Excellent idea.”
How much time could we shorten compared to when we hunted Trolls?
I’m looking forward to it.
* * *
The Abyss Revenants who became members of the Gale Knight Order showed movements on the level of A-rank Hunters.
[Abyss Revenant]
*Race : Undead
*Classification : Revenant
*Grade : B+
Strength : 1,017
Agility : 648
Stamina : 839
Durability : 1,123
Mana : 1,035
*Skills
-Incomplete Aura[B] → Aura[A]
-Imperial Swordsmanship[A][New!]
-Lion Heart Technique[A][New!]
-Mana Emission[B]
-Wraith Form[B]
-Immortal Legion[B]
-Combat Continuation[B]
-Abyss Understanding[C]
*This monster is a large type. Melee-related stats are increased by 30%.
*Additional damage is applied based on mass.
The Incomplete Aura was completed when Sir Isra’s enlightenment was shared.
Imperial Swordsmanship and Lion Heart Technique were also added as skills through training.
He was someone who could whip up Imperial Axe Technique for the Armed Zombie Enhanced to use.
Training undead who had joined the Knight Order was quick work.
The sluggish agility problem typical of large monsters could be solved by properly applying Mana Emission.
How?
“These underlings all share their master’s talents, so it’s an easy task.”
Damn it.
Can’t you give me some remote control or commands too?
Or put me in the Knight Order!
“Hmm.”
What’s with that lukewarm reaction?
Sigh.
This won’t do.
“Draco. Show me your power.”
“Woof!”
Draco, having completed his evolution, kicked off the ground and charged forward rapidly.
A powerful undead that the system rated as A+.
He tore apart Brute, a monster slightly smaller than himself, with both arms.
“Grrrrrr!”
With Fire Breath, he burned away the magic flying toward him and even the Skeleton Wizard.
It was faster than the Abyss Revenant.
“Grrrrowl!”
Draco came to my side and pushed his head forward, asking to be petted.
“You little…”
“Growl?”
“You need to preserve the Skeleton Wizard’s original form!”
Oh my.
To analyze it with Corpse Processing, you need to leave the bones intact.
“Whine.”
Was it because his intelligence had increased?
When I scolded him, his whimpering was exactly like Happy from my hometown.
“You need to bring back the bones. Got it?”
“Growl!”
“That’s right, good job.”
With the Abyss Revenant group and Draco leading the way.
The clearing speed was so fast that walking couldn’t keep up.
“I’ll collect as we go, hyung.”
“Ah. Please do.”
Even slowing down a bit, an SSS-rank clear was a sure thing.
But.
I’d rather go faster than slower.
I began to understand why gamers risk their lives for time attacks.
【Great Lord. Why aren’t you bringing out the cavalry?】
“The purpose of this raid is to check our strength.”
I’d already confirmed Tigris’s breakthrough power through several real battles.
On the other hand, evolved Draco and the Abyss Revenant were fighting their first real battle since creation.
Checking through status window information.
And actually watching a real fight were clearly different.
“The hard work paid off.”
I thought my eyes would fall out making the Abyss Revenant.
It was really incredibly exhausting.
The creation process seemed to test all of Necrosmith’s capabilities.
I’m glad I can feel the reward for all that hard work sweating profusely.
Seeing it in actual combat, it seemed more than twice as strong as the Abyss Revenant I faced in the [Abyss of the Forgotten].
Necromancer’s Body sharing.
Sir Isra’s techniques.
With these two elements added, despite similar specs, the combat power difference was outstanding.
Like that.
We cleared the Gate without resting once.
[Skeleton Wiseman]
“Death to the living!”
“Dead one. Return to where you belonged.”
Slash!
As Sir Isra cut down the boss monster, an enhanced version of the wizard.
He annihilated all monsters in the [Mage’s Tomb].
“Hunter Park. How about registering this raid record with the World Hunter Association?”
“Raid record?”
“Yes. 42 minutes 15 seconds, it would be the best record for a B-rank Gate.”
“The previous best record was probably 1 hour 45 minutes.”
Wow.
42 minutes?
That’s crazy.
When I raided the Troll Gate, I struggled to finish under three hours.
Even though the main monsters were different, it was still a B-rank Gate and I drastically shortened the time.
It was all thanks to evolved Draco and the Abyss Revenant.
“Let’s register it.”
World record?
I can’t resist achievements.
