*As a Revived One special privilege, receives 75% additional bonus to all stats.
The displayed specs weren’t that high.
Much lower numbers than Predator – Lex, who was rated A+.
Of course.
Those displayed stats didn’t include the Revived One privileges.
The actual ability values were high enough to be worthy of the S-grade rating.
“Great Lord. Don’t Primitive Species also get a 50% bonus?”
Tsk.
Zaugg, read the room.
“You thief. Are you saying I’m inadequate to be Master’s first sword?”
See that.
At Sir Isra’s blazing gaze, Zaugg whimpered and tucked his tail.
“S-grade, huh.”
To be honest, the specs weren’t tremendously high.
Adding up all the stat increases.
In total, it was slightly higher than enhanced Draco, but didn’t reach Predator – Lex.
Even so.
Sir Isra receiving an S-grade rating must be thanks to his skills.
[Aura Blade]
Not just projecting mana.
But materializing it on body parts or weapons.
A truly destructive power that far surpasses aura’s destructive force!
It’s also an ability that symbolizes S-grade warrior-type Hunters.
“I didn’t expect Aura Blade to appear.”
“Hahaha. I saw the end of the sword in my lifetime. Isn’t that natural?”
“You may be right, but your current body isn’t the same.”
Sir Isra’s body was made based on the Death Warrior creation method.
The strongest individual I can currently create.
Duraham is also A-grade, but analyzing the creation method etched in my mind, it seemed to have lower specs than Death Warrior.
I hadn’t even expected Aura Blade.
Why though.
“Isn’t it because Master witnessed the ultimate technique of Imperial Swordsmanship?”
“What ultimate technique.”
“Hoot. The Vertical Slash is a sword that reached its end. Since you could deploy the sword technique even through expedient means, there must have been an influence.”
That makes sense.
“That alone isn’t enough.”
【Heheh. Isn’t it because of the manual Master possesses?】
“The Homunculus Anatomy Diagram?”
【Perhaps because you walk the heretical path rather than the righteous one, it seems to help Master more.】
[The Homunculus Anatomy Diagram participated in the creation.]
[It draws out the abilities of the dwelling soul.]
[The user’s enlightenment is added, raising the grade by one level.]
Oho.
It was just as Meigers speculated.
Though the person who got the answer right doesn’t look pleased about it.
Homunculus creation, a branch of alchemy.
This anatomy diagram was made by Necromancers as a foundation for undead, so his displeasure was understandable.
【Someday I’ll show you a proper homunculus, so look forward to it.】
“Yes, yes.”
【By the way, this thing called Gaia Former. The more I examine it, the more interesting aspects I find.】
The Gaia Former transferred to the Death Forge.
Meigers was diligently examining the machine that was expanding the subspace.
“Don’t break it.”
【Hah. Who do you think I am!】
Who indeed.
You’re a mad scientist whose eyes roll back whenever he sees new technology.
Right.
I was so focused on the S-grade rating that I missed something important.
“Sir. How’s your condition?”
Until now, I always left the part containing the soul – the heart – during modification processes.
This was the first time completely abandoning the existing body and moving to a new one.
I was worried there might be problems.
“Don’t worry, Master.”
Sir Isra stood up abruptly and grasped the sword his previous body had used.
Woong—
The aura manifested above the blade scattered into dozens of streams.
Then wove together and began emitting an even more intense aura.
Patseutseutsu!
Terrifying mana waves that shook the atmosphere.
My instincts, sharpened by the Heavenly Martial Body, immediately sounded alarms upon encountering this destructive power.
“This is Aura Blade.”
“Indeed. The glorious light permitted only to a select few knights.”
“Iron Head. You deployed Aura Blade before too – is there a difference?”
Nice question.
I was curious about that part too.
“Foolish, Mage.”
Ugh.
0 questions, 1 insult received.
Whoong!
The sword overlaid with Aura Blade sliced through the air in an X-shape.
Each time he swung the sword, fierce winds whirled through the windless subspace.
“The technique shown in battle was an expedient method, just like Master’s.”
A realm that couldn’t be deployed with the current body.
Since he forcibly drew out and manifested the ultimate technique contained in the sword strike, free wielding was impossible.
“It takes time to deploy, and afterward you’re incapacitated for a while.”
“Literally a one-hit kill.”
“Correct words, Master. As expected of one who walks the path of the sword, your understanding is quick.”
Whew.
I never said I was walking that path.
“With a forcibly drawn Aura Blade, it would be difficult to face a Master-level knight.”
Even if it’s useful for one-time use.
It means the sustainability is lacking.
Well.
Since I forced something that wasn’t possible, it was natural to have backlash or penalties.
That’s how everything in the world works.
“Phew.”
Thanks to Ingrid asking questions, I was able to avoid being called ignorant.
Whether he knows such feelings or not.
“The power bestowed by my Lord. I shall use it to annihilate enemies.”
Sir Isra smiled brightly.
That sight was truly dazzling.
It wasn’t because of the blue light from the Aura Blade.
“Yes. I’ll be counting on you from now on too.”
“Hahahaha. Leave it to me!”
Whooom! Bang!
Excited, Sir Isra swung his sword wrapped in Aura Blade this way and that.
A storm raging through the subspace.
Excuse me?
Could you please keep that sword wrapped in Aura Blade still?
* * *
Transferring Sir Isra to a new body was successful.
“Master! Please grant the Girl a new body too!”
“Let’s do it next time.”
“Eeeeh!”
“I don’t know how to create undead of a higher concept than Skeleton Wizard.”
Even using the same method, the specs themselves would improve.
First, my proficiency has increased.
The second reason is because I have the [Homunculus Anatomy Chart].
“Still, corpses are limited, so shouldn’t we be careful?”
The corpse of an A-rank magic-type Hunter is precious.
During the uninhabited island raid, they were all turned to powder by Ingrid’s magic.
The corpses obtained during the stronghold attack are all under autopsy.
Even when returned, the numbers won’t be many.
Shouldn’t we use them sparingly?
“Mage. Have patience and wait.”
“Tch.”
Ingrid couldn’t hide her disappointment.
Wait a little.
Analyzing the Lich’s remains is more difficult than expected.
How nice would it be if there was a Gate where magic-type undeads appear.
Just then, President Baek, who had come to deliver the finalized advertisement-related content, interjected.
“Oh. Perfect timing. The Gate that the Fissure Bureau requested Hunter-nim to clear is exactly that type.”
“Eh.”
President Baek.
It seems like you were waiting for this situation.
[Cradle of the Deceased]
[Grade: A]
[Entry Restriction: S ~ B(20)]
[Special Notes: Exposed to debuffs except for undead/dark-type classes]
“The reason for the request is obvious.”
“Correct. They say the penalties are considerable, including overall stat reduction and continuous damage.”
Isn’t that like a comprehensive penalty gift set?
The mana distribution has room, but the Fissure Bureau’s position is that they want to resolve it before reaching dangerous levels.
“That works out well. Rangers exist to be used in times like this.”
“You’re already collaborating more than enough.”
“Hey. It’s good work, so let’s not make too big a deal of it. And you’re the one who gave me this job saying it worked out well, Boss.”
Even when I say this.
Given President Baek’s personality, it was obvious he’d try to get something from the Fissure Bureau.
He’s not the type to listen even if I try to stop him.
Since he’s working hard for my sake, there’s no need to desperately stop him.
The Gate location wasn’t far from the Agency office.
“Bro. You have to finish within three hours today too!”
“On-time departure. Let’s go!”
“Since undeads don’t have much to clean up afterwards, isn’t this perfect for early departure?”
Sir Isra, who would normally give the Support Team a look to stay alert.
“Hahaha. I’ll take the lead and break through, so don’t worry.”
He shouted confidently.
Um, what’s this.
Isn’t this a flag?
“It doesn’t look much different from when the big lord says nothing will happen.”
Ugh!
It hurts!
Getting hit by Zaugg of all people!
“Please forgive me, Master. Just this once, the thief’s words are right.”
“They say even a broken clock is right twice a day, so that’s correct.”
St-stop it.
My life is already at 0!
After such twists and turns(?), the Gate clearing began.
The internal environment was a blackened, dead open field.
[Abundant death energy seeps into your body.]
[The vitality of the living drains away.]
[You are one who handles death. You do not lose vitality to this cursed land.]
I believed in it!
The ‘Necro’ attached to my profession wasn’t just decoration.
“Ugh. This is pretty tough.”
“Urrgh. I’m dizzy.”
“The debuffs are bad, but the stamina consumption is severe.”
In contrast, the Support Team was already panting.
Ten items on the debuff list.
They say health and mana drain away just from breathing.
“It’s okay. I’ve prepared countermeasures.”
“As expected of you, bro.”
The possibility is about fifty-fifty.
If it doesn’t work?
I’ll have to pull the Support Team back.
[Black Blessing]
The Dark God’s blessing is a divine spell but with darkness attribute.
It’s on a completely different level from ordinary blessings!
“Oh! That’s pretty good!”
Kehehet.
See? I told you it would be fine.
Sir Isra stepped forward and drew his sword.
“Lord. Please give me your orders.”
It seems his hands and feet are itching after gaining his enhanced body.
Good.
The performance of his new body. I was curious about it anyway, so this works out well.
“Sweep them all away.”
“Yes. My Lord.”
[Steps of Death]
It should be the same technique as the Death Warriors.
But both the speed of his steps and the density of the ominous aura spreading out were extraordinary.
“Death! Discipline! Oath!”
The crimson knight with his own head tucked under his arm.
The three Durahams spoke in disconnected words, breaking them apart.
“The dead? No. Are you among the living? Interesting.”
An undead wrapped entirely in a black robe, the Black Sage glared at Sir Isra.
Oh.
Finally a magic-type undead has appeared!!!
“Hyung-nim. Durahams are slow but sturdy. They can even withstand aura with their bare bodies, so be careful.”
I nodded at the words of briefing machine Seong-su.
“Sir.”
“Leave it to me.”
Clatter, clatter.
The Sahyeolma charging fiercely forward.
The Duraham riding on top tilted the long scythe in his hand slightly downward.
Blue aura swirled around the curved blade.
The aura curved wide like a full moon, leaving a trajectory in the air.
【They’re compensating for their lack of mobility with the Sahyeolma.】
“Not a bad idea.”
Before the praise from the Great Witch and Alchemist could fade.
Patseutseutsu!
The sword in Sir Isra’s hand scattered blue light.
The light that had gathered on the fiercely charging scythe.
Was swallowed by an even fiercer radiance and disappeared without a trace in an instant.
“Death. Me.”
The long scythe was cut in two.
The head tucked at his side and his waist were split in half.
All three bodies were cut in half and collapsed with a thud.
[Experience has increased.]
“Three Durahams, which are among the top tier of A-rank in terms of durability, in one strike!”
“That’s an Aura Blade!”
“Whoa.”
The Support Team gaped with their mouths wide open.
Heh.
Even though I wasn’t the one using the Aura Blade, my cheeks twitched with pride.
As Sir Isra, who had cut down three Durahams with one sword strike, rushed forward in an instant.
[Memorize ― Dark Thunder]
A massive amount of mana was released from the Black Sage’s hand.
A stored A-rank skill.
Lightning with dual attributes of darkness and electricity painted the front pitch black.
My skin tingled.
Even without being hit directly, it was powerful mana that made its strength imaginable.
That spine-chilling lightning.
Swoosh―
[Imperial Swordsmanship (Modified)_Isra Form]
[Aura Blade]
Scattered left and right, destroying the wrong places.
And the body of the Black Sage, the magic caster, was split in half.
“Today’s raid. I shall finish it within an hour.”
Sir Isra declared confidently.
Shall I check out what it’s like to ride this bus?
