Episode 211

Even after Emilia joined us.

The gate conquest pattern didn’t change much.

[Imperial Swordsmanship (Modified)_Isra Form]

[Aura Blade]

The power of destruction granted to S-rank Hunters mercilessly slaughtered enemies.

[Unique Technique ― Eclipse]

[Burst Flare X 5]

[Lightning X 10]

[Modified Technique ― Release]

Techniques that dismantled and reconstructed completed magic swept across the battlefield.

If there was a small difference.

“Oh, ooooh!!”

It was that Emilia’s reactions were added.

“Crimson Witch!”

“Just call me Ingrid.”

“Ingrid. Ingrid. How did you interpret that technique just now?”

Eyes sparkling brightly.

The eyes of a madman driven crazy by magic following her fandom.

“You know that what I just reconstructed was the girl’s unique technique, right?”

“Of course. The miracle of freely tearing apart and modifying mana structures! But if you don’t understand the magic structure you’re modifying, it’s useless.”

“Good. As long as you don’t say something absurd like copying the girl’s technique.”

Ingrid spun the Burst Flare she had just manifested round and round.

“You know that even the same technique can be modified slightly, right?”

“Yes. Yes.”

“It can’t deviate greatly from the original form. But still…”

“Ah! I see!”

Something, something was happening.

‘Understanding’ the magic Ingrid used was easy.

Should I call it the realm of intuition.

That kind of feeling ingrained in the body that can’t be explained in words.

Emilia organized such ‘feelings’ into refined language and mathematical formulas.

“Mm, mm. I see.”

Mi-jeong, the only mage on the support team, also started nodding beside them.

At first she had an expression of not understanding.

But with Ingrid’s kind interpretation, she gradually organized the theory.

“Hyung.”

“I don’t know either.”

I’m not even a proper mage!

Even though I’m in the necromancer category, my skill mechanism was 100% pure physical.

Hammering, sewing, and even circuit engraving.

It’s a profession that requires painstaking manual labor stitch by stitch.

Anyway, besides gate conquest, there was one more change from Emilia joining. Undead creation work was postponed for the time being.

[You have cleared Bullsan Fortress Gate.]

[Grade ― SSS]

[You are rewarded with 100 A-grade magic stones.]

We conquered gates in the morning and afternoon.

“Come eat! Uncle!”

“I’m busy.”

“Boo. How can you neglect a fan who came just to see you, Uncle.”

“…”

Because in the evening we had to provide meals and fan service(?).

“Oooooouuuu!!!! Yeeeees!!!”

Shouting echoing through the coin karaoke room.

Yeon-du.

Tell me honestly.

Fan service and all that.

You’re just selling me and Emilia out because you want to have fun, right?

“What do you take the fan club president for!”

“So you’re saying you have absolutely no selfish motives?”

“Of course I do. Ouch!”

I knew this would happen.

I lightly knocked Yeon-du on the head.

Look at Emilia.

She’s sitting in the corner like a borrowed barley sack, just staring at the ground.

Still, there was something to learn.

“Magic.”

Until now, I had mainly received training from Sir Isra.

Minions who share my sense and intuition.

Since magic-type undead were few in number, it was first to strengthen the military power of warrior-type undead.

Actually, Sir Isra’s training was quite helpful for Death Warrior creation too.

But still.

Staying in the rear during battle and providing support fire seemed pretty good too.

Since I also acquired large quantities of Black Sage remains, which are higher undead than Skeleton Wizards.

It would help strengthen magic-type undead forces too, right?

“Master should sing a song too.”

“I politely decline that suggestion.”

The only song I know is “Playing is the Best” penguin song.

Back when I was stuck at E-rank.

After participating in gate conquest as a mercenary, I sang the children’s president song at a company dinner and was told never to touch a microphone again.

Sob sob.

President Penguin is innocent.

While spending each day with the mindset of serving fans.

[Death Forge upgrade has been completed.]

[Death Forge → The concept has been expanded to Death Domain.]

[Many items have been added. Please enter the Death Domain to check the details.]

Finally.

The enhancement of the Death Forge that absorbed the dimensional barrier generator was complete.

When I visited occasionally, there weren’t any big changes.

I was looking forward to seeing how the Death Forge had been expanded.

“I’ll take a break today.”

“Yes, yes. I can write my thesis, so don’t worry about me.”

I also got permission from Emilia.

Ziiik―

I pulled down the subspace carrier zipper all the way and boldly pushed my foot into the pitch-black space.

* * *

The Death Forge I entered after several days.

“It’s changed quite a bit.”

Where did the subspace that was blocked on all sides go.

An open space with a white background appeared.

[Death Forge → Death Domain]

Workshop Grade: 5

Equipment Level: Lower

Capacity Limit: 18,000kg → 500,000kg

Area: 420 pyeong → 3,000 pyeong

*Work speed decreased by 27%.

*Concentration Lv 20 → 25

*Health Recovery Lv 24 → 29

*Enhanced performance of crafted items.

*Low chance of grade increase or additional ability granted during Corpse Processing.

*Subsidiary Structures

―Pit of Malice Lv1

―Cursed Gravestone Lv1

―Giant’s Tomb Lv1

―Death Office Lv1[New!]

―Gaia Former Lv1[New!]

In the center of the expanded subspace stood a pitch-black building.

[Death Office]

Grade: 1

A building responsible for the administration of the Death Domain.

Deploying Undead to the office increases the efficiency of all buildings.

Upgrading the Death Office also increases the domain’s grade.

―Deployed Undead: 0/3

―Efficiency Improvement: 0%

The office was about the size of a convenience store.

A modest size that didn’t match its grandiose name.

The next thing that caught my eye was naturally the Gaia Former.

[Gaia Former]

Grade: 1

A structure combining magical engineering with Earth’s scientific technology. Enhancing its performance can expand the domain’s area.

“I didn’t expect this to become an official structure.”

It generates a dimensional field.

A device that prevents monster spawning inside Gates.

It was something I acquired while raiding the stronghold China had established.

Originally, I planned to destroy it.

But the Death Forge absorbed it whole without losing a single feather.

【If the conditions are met, Master’s domain can be expanded further.】

“You still don’t know?”

【Don’t worry. Who do you think I am?】

“The Grand Alchemist, sir.”

【Hehehe. As always, I’ll find the answer, so wait patiently.】

To say he doesn’t know so confidently like that.

Since it’s not displayed in the system either, I’ll have to leave the Gaia Former to Meigers.

“Why isn’t it displayed in the system?”

“It’s probably because it’s not standard.”

【Master’s reasoning is correct.】

It’s like tuning an unauthorized device onto the pure product that is the Death Forge.

It’s compatible enough that the domain expansion succeeded.

But since the additional tuning method isn’t standard, they’re telling us to research it ourselves.

“The standard path isn’t blocked. That’s actually better.”

There’s also the method of upgrading the Death Office.

Let’s think positively since there are two ways to expand the domain.

“With more space available, we can conduct various training.”

“It’ll help with magic training too.”

Sir Isra and Ingrid’s faces also brightened.

Why are you two thinking about working people first?

Meanwhile, Roan looked around and then knelt on both knees.

【Blessings. Upon this place.】

A posture that even felt reverent.

He was called a saint until his death, so I suppose it’s natural.

It’s just that the god he serves is quite formidable.

【I have a suggestion for Master.】

“Gaia Former research?”

【Hmm. I’m not sure if I need Master’s permission for that.】

“Zaugg.”

“Arrogant newcomers should keep their mouths shut.”

Thwack!

【Kieeeek!】

【….】

Even Roan, who had been kneeling and blessing just moments ago, jumped up and joined the rookie education.

Thwack thwack thwack!

Hello there.

Please return the reverence.

【Li, listen to what I have to say!】

Meigers, now in tatters, flailed his hands.

Now he’s ready to speak.

“What did you do wrong?”

【I’ll get Master’s approval next time.】

“Good. Now tell me what you wanted to say.”

【While observing the expansion process, I found a building to recommend to Master.】

“A building that can be constructed now that it’s become a domain?”

【That’s right.】

When it was the Death Forge, we couldn’t build more structures due to area limitations.

Still, structures like the Pit of Malice, Cursed Gravestone, and Giant’s Tomb were being put to good use.

Pit of Malice ― Corpse aging and Undead Enhancement

Cursed Gravestone ― Crafting soul stone fragments into soul stones

Giant’s Tomb ― Death Giant production

The [Slaughterhouse] was a building we couldn’t construct due to lack of space.

While automatically butchering corpses would certainly be convenient, it wasn’t significant enough to replace other structures, so I didn’t miss it much.

【Do you know that quite a few buildings became available to construct when it became the Death Domain?】

At Meigers’ point, I checked the building list.

[Constructible Structures]

*Necromancy Research Institute

A research institute that improves the efficiency of Necromancy skills.

*Dark Magic Tower

A magic tower for researching dark attribute magic.

*Simulation Lab

A laboratory that analyzes the experiences, information, materials, and byproducts possessed by the Death Domain’s user and conducts simulations.

―Slaughterhouse

A factory that automatically dismantles monster corpses.

―Repair Factory

A factory that automatically repairs damaged Undead minions.

In addition to the Slaughterhouse, the number of constructible structures had dramatically increased.

“Oh. This one’s pretty tempting?”

A factory that automatically repairs Undead!

With a Repair Factory, I could work Tigris to the bone without worry, even with her high consumption rate.

After one large-scale battle, repairs alone would take several days.

With just this structure, I could drastically reduce such troublesome tasks!

The other structures were quite appealing too.

Like the Research Facility that improves necromancy efficiency.

The Dark Magic Tower also caught my interest.

[As a Death Domain upgrade bonus, you can immediately construct one structure.]

Ugh.

What should I choose to earn a reputation for making a good choice?

【Master. Build the Simulation Lab.】

“Lab?”

Unfortunately.

That building wasn’t even on my priority list.

“With knowledge and experience, there’s no need to experiment, right?”

【I stake the Grand Alchemist’s honor on it. The lab will be of great help to Master.】

He’s staking his honor out of nowhere.

Since he’s guaranteeing it to that extent, I might as well do it.

I’ll construct the other structures whenever I have time anyway, so it’s just a matter of order.

I decided immediately.

“I’ll construct the Simulation Lab.”

Rumble!

The corresponding resources were consumed.

A dome-shaped building suddenly rose up at the designated location.

The empty interior.

【Once you try operating it, you’ll understand the significance this old man emphasized.】

Alright, let’s see.

“Begin simulation.”

[Activating the Simulation Lab.]

[Results will be inferred based on the user’s memories and data stored in the Death Domain.]

A moment later.

“Wow. Whoooooa.”

This is totally amazing, isn’t it?
