Episode 230

“Whoa.”

A dumbfounded sound slipped through my lips.

“Is something wrong?”

“Sergio says he’ll become my minion if he agrees.”

“Oh my. The Doom Knight must have been moved by Master’s merciful heart!”

Merciful my ass.

Approach it from an academic perspective like usual!

【It’s the first time I’ve seen such a phenomenon, so I’m not sure.】

“I’m sorry. There’s no corresponding information in the knowledge passed down to the Eclipse Witch either.”

Okay.

So it’s not a common occurrence.

Now.

Then let’s ask for the opinion of Sir Isra, a necromancer expert.

“Oh! Praise chivalry!”

Ugh.

Sir Isra kissed his own fist and then raised it high.

“The evil necromancer’s minion has come to walk the righteous path. Isn’t this all thanks to the nobility of chivalry?”

“Yes. Yes.”

If you don’t know, just say so directly.

You got my hopes up by acting all meaningful and weighty.

“Roan. Have you ever heard of this before?”

Shake shake.

Even those who reached the pinnacle in their respective fields are seeing this phenomenon for the first time.

Let’s move on for now.

“Aren’t you going to ask Schne?”

“Thief. Be quiet.”

“You need to know when to butt in and when not to.”

【Kekeke. How would a thief know what even this old man doesn’t know.】

“Read. The room.”

The Zaugg ship has sunk!

Setting aside the unusual phenomenon.

I should hear his opinion first.

“What do you think, Sergio?”

【When I. died. My regrets. were not. great. I thought. it was fine. to embrace. eternal sleep. But.】

The Doom Knight slowly shook his head.

【I cannot. let such. villains. run wild.】

Clank, clank.

The Doom Knight knelt down with slow movements.

Then heavy telepathy rang out loudly.

【What is. your name?】

“Park Min-ho.”

【Park Min-ho. I shall. serve you. as my. master.】

“I might be a villain too, you know.”

【A knight. who worships. noble chivalry. That is. enough.】

This person won’t do.

If I asked him for a guarantee, he’d stamp his seal first.

Sigh.

Can’t be helped. I’ll take him as my subordinate and keep him from falling for scam contracts.

[A contract with Doom Knight Sergio has been established.]

[The Doom Knight is now bound to you.]

Gooooooo!

Vast mana surged up just like when the Doom Knight first appeared.

Whoa.

He’s putting on quite a performance just because the contract was established.

【Right now. my body. is unstable. Must be. sealed.】

“What?”

It’s not a performance but he really can’t control his power?

“It’s probably true. He was revived with an incomplete ritual and even that contract was forcibly severed.”

“This isn’t something to talk about so casually!”

Since it’s advice from a necromancer slayer, it must be certain.

They say the enemy knows you better than a fool, after all.

The Doom Knight couldn’t control his vast mana and was collapsing moment by moment.

I approached and retrieved him into Death Space.

[The Doom Knight’s body is collapsing.]

This doesn’t work either?

Don’t panic.

“There’s one method left.”

I moved the Doom Knight from Death Space to the estate.

I stored him in the Pit of Malice.

“Meigers. I’ll leave the setting values to you.”

There must be an environment that can prevent the Doom Knight’s collapse.

Since I can’t enter the Death Domain from inside a Gate.

The only one I can trust right now is Meigers.

【Kekekeke. Just trust this old man.】

[The Doom Knight’s condition is fixed at its current state.]

[The body will no longer collapse.]

Oh.

Ooooh!

“Hmm. You do have the skill to call yourself a Grand Alchemist.”

“The old man’s got some skills?”

“Schne could do well too.”

“Gal!”

Whether Zaugg was hiding in a corner or not, I didn’t have time to worry about such trivial matters.

“How did you stop the Doom Knight’s collapse?”

【I created an extremely cold environment.】

Pretty clever.

Cold and spiritual energy have quite similar properties.

After freezing storage and even abundantly providing spiritual energy, it became fixed in its current state.

【If he comes out of the pit, the collapse will start again.】

“How can we prevent the Doom Knight’s collapse?”

【I’m not a necromancer, so how would I know.】

You’re pulling an evasive move here?

Actually, I had a rough idea.

“My level rising should be the priority.”

“That’s a reasonable deduction.”

There are two reasons why Doom Knight Sergio is incomplete.

He was summoned by a low-level necromancer.

The second reason was the aftermath of irregular necromancy.

“I’d need to be at least S-rank to have a fighting chance.”

Wouldn’t the irregular creation method also need to be analyzed and reconstructed to become complete?

“Mr. Sergio?”

No answer came.

It seemed he was frozen and unable to send telepathy.

“Hmm. How unfortunate. I thought our forces would be strengthened even further.”

“It’s not like the Doom Knight is disappearing.”

What an ungrateful thing to say.

An SS-rank summoned being appeared for free, yet instead of being grateful.

He even provides motivation to raise my achievements, how wonderful is that?

“Ehehehe!”

It was worth running until my feet were sweating.

I was a bit scared when the two-front battle unfolded.

But in the end, I became the victor.

“Hyung-nim. Were you really scared?”

“Looking at how you kept running with Blink, you didn’t show any signs of it at all. Hyung.”

“Min-hoooo!! I believed in you!!”

Do these guys think I’m made of iron?

I ran because I had a chance of winning, but how my heart was racing.

If only the Doom Knight had overtaken Sir Isra.

If only the Giant Ant Queen had held out a little longer.

The one whose head would have been converted to a soccer ball would have been me, not that scrawny necromancer.

“Haha. Now let’s enjoy the victory.”

“The Girl is here. Master, please put your worries to rest.”

“Shall we go find some treasure?”

“Me. Have.”

Really.

From Roan’s ability enhancement to the Hydraigon.

Without even one of these, it would have been a situation where we’d suffer fatal damage or it wouldn’t be strange if one or two died.

Still.

We won, right?

Thud, the undeads who lost their master collapsed like puppets with cut strings.

“Great Lord. Shouldn’t we collect these guys too?”

The remains of three Death Knights scattered about.

Oho.

If I analyze these guys too, I should be able to complete the Death Knight creation method.

“Oh right. I can’t forget about you either.”

The necromancer whose head had relocated.

I placed my hand on his crown.

“Death is not an escape.”

You who have commanded the dead would know that better, wouldn’t you?

[Possession Unity]

The success rate is highest when they haven’t been dead for long.

Even if making him into an undead comes after the situation is settled.

I had to capture his soul now.

【Yukiyaaaak!!!】

With a strange scream, the scrawny one’s soul was bound to his body.

[Death Space]

I immediately stored his corpse.

Perhaps because of the intense battle.

My shoulders felt heavy with a fatigue I hadn’t felt recently.

“Whew. Then let’s go back.”

I slowly walked toward the exit created at the end of the Gate.

They’ll handle the internal cleanup themselves.

* * *

The vicious Gate that devoured three GGG Hunter teams.

[Black Tunnel] was finally conquered.

[Korean conquers A-rank Gate on the verge of critical state?]

[Following Yoo Jeong-kim, Min-ho Park – black-haired heroes save LA!]

[GGG not what it used to be? Concerns about conquering with foreign help…]

GGG extensively promoted the Gate conquest to the media.

Not all media was favorable.

But media companies connected to GGG put out several positive articles.

The reaction from people who heard the news wasn’t negative either.

“Did Yoo Jeong-kim find a successor?”

“GGG’s franchise is courage and grit.”

“East Asia produces exceptionally outstanding Hunters.”

The melting pot of races.

This refers to California, where countless East Asian immigrants came and settled in the 20th century.

While there’s still an underlying atmosphere of discrimination against non-white races on the American continent.

LA had less of such tendencies.

This was thanks to the activities of Yoo Jeong-kim, one of the few SS-rank Hunters in the world.

Following Korean-American Yoo Jeong-kim.

The guild where he serves as Master invited Min-ho.

With their success in conquering a dangerous Gate, there were actually more favorable views toward people of color.

“Phew.”

Sophia leaned back against her chair and stretched her stiff body.

After hearing the media staff member’s briefing, her tension completely melted away.

“Good work.”

“There are also some malicious stories about Min-ho Park coming out.”

“Were white supremacist idiots ever just one or two?”

Though the Southern Dixie was swept away by the tide of the times and disappeared.

There were still many who acted arrogant as if having white skin was life’s greatest achievement.

She never expected to win over even those guys’ hearts.

“It seems there are those within the guild trying to lead public opinion.”

“Ah. That’s a bit of a different story.”

It must be William’s faction.

Crack, Sophia ground her teeth.

“Please investigate that part well. I can understand politics, but family members stabbing each other in the back is a bit much, isn’t it?”

“Understood.”

After the media staff member left.

Sophia brought over a tablet.

It was a device with a backup of the action cam footage Min-ho had worn.

A video just under two hours long.

She’d watched it several times but never got tired of it.

Sophia pressed the play button once more.

“Really amazing.”

Prowess unbelievable for an A-rank Hunter.

Not only the military power of each undead minion.

But the efficient command and boldness made even Sophia click her tongue in admiration.

“No wonder our kids all got wiped out.”

The attack of giant ants began as soon as we entered the Gate.

Their numbers were no ordinary matter either.

A scale like this wouldn’t be strange even if it received an S-rank classification.

“How are five A-ranks supposed to clear this?”

I could even feel malice that was determined to kill any Hunters who entered.

A queen that laid eggs and continuously replenished her forces.

When heading to the rear, the giant ants we had defeated were revived through necromancy.

It was natural that GGG’s elite Hunters failed in their conquest.

It’s just.

Min-ho was simply abnormally strong.

The scene where the Doom Knight appeared gave me chills no matter how many times I replayed it.

The video couldn’t fully capture that monster’s overwhelming presence.

Even so.

Having faced the Doom Knight directly, Sophia could feel the enemy’s strength in her bones.

“To think Juan Carlos was in a place like this.”

With that level of power.

Even if Sophia herself stepped forward, she couldn’t guarantee victory.

She only had a chance because she wielded power that was the natural enemy of the Undead.

An ordinary S-rank Hunter couldn’t defeat Juan Carlos even if they died and came back to life a hundred times.

“But he won anyway.”

The fact that Min-ho’s Summoned Beings were extraordinary was something she had known for a while.

But wasn’t this going a bit too far?

Watching this video, she even felt relieved.

Giving him the Tower of Chaos entry ticket wasn’t an excessive investment, but closer to buying undervalued blue-chip stocks at a cheap price.

Her review ended there.

“So it was a commission to the Black Heaven Society.”

Sophia clenched her fist.

The body camera had captured Juan Carlos’s statements in their entirety.

It was obvious who the client was even without hearing it.

The decisive evidence Min-ho had given her.

She wondered how she should use it to damage the William Faction.

“By the way, what kind of reward should I give to Mr. Park?”

His performance made the Tower of Chaos entry ticket feel cheap.

The level of activity made it difficult for Sophia to determine appropriate compensation with her discretion alone.

What choice did she have.

She had no choice but to pass the buck to Master.
