My Right Hand Is Too Strong Episode 129

Episode 129. To the Summoner’s Tower

Necromancy.

Literally, the power to manipulate the souls of the dead.

This skill, like Spirit Realm skills, exists in extremely small numbers among all skill categories.

‘It’s an even rarer skill than the uncommon Spirit Realm skills.’

Necromancy skills are truly treated as skills only for the chosen ones.

Due to their complex and intricate skill structure, they’re an even rarer category than Spirit Realm skills.

‘I think there were about three common Spirit Realm skills.’

When I looked it up out of curiosity, common Spirit Realm skills did exist.

From the skill called ‘Spirit Resonance’ that allows one to sense spirits, to the skill called ‘Nature Affinity’ that accepts pure mana into the body.

There were more common Spirit Realm skills than I thought.

But Necromancy wasn’t like that.

The number of common Necromancy skills was only two.

One of them was summoning skeletons with no physical strength.

The other was a skill that controlled dead targets like puppets.

But even those two were said to share one common trait.

That was.

‘The caster must directly control the target.’

Necromancy didn’t work like artificial intelligence that judges and moves on its own just because the skill was used.

In a way, that makes sense.

Even though it’s necromancy, it’s not actually bringing back and controlling the souls of the truly dead.

Necromancy is using mana to control the dead as if they were alive.

Therefore, necromancy must stop moving once the mana supply is cut off.

However.

“There’s no mana supply source maintaining the necromancy. Yet your parents are still moving under necromancy.”

The necromancy cast on Rai’s parents was still moving their bodies despite the mana supply being cut off.

There’s only one thing such a case could mean.

“…Unique skill.”

It’s a phenomenon created by a unique skill, not a common skill.

If it were a common skill, the effects could be predicted, but unique skills aren’t like that.

Everyone possesses skills with different effects.

Therefore.

“The Demon King said there’s no way to know when it will be lifted. Or if it will be lifted at all.”

“Sung Yu-mi said that?”

“Yes. She said it’s carved so precisely that it can’t even be decoded.”

Seong Yu-mi’s ‘Magic Eye’ is an S-rank skill.

The fact that even ‘Magic Eye’ can’t read it means.

‘…The person who cast the necromancy is superior to Seong Yu-mi.’

I want to believe that’s not possible.

Seong Yu-mi is a mid-to-lower tier skilled fighter among S-rank Hunters.

I want to deny that someone stronger than Seong Yu-mi could be a member of Macheongoe, but.

“…Damn it.”

The moment Gaien, who was already an S-rank Hunter at a similar level to Seong Yu-mi, started wielding magi, it became an undeniable fact even if I wanted to deny it.

Rai glanced at me as I clenched my fists tightly, then spoke in a calm voice.

“Mir. This might be a great burden for you, but I have one request.”

“…What is it.”

“Please put my parents at ease.”

Clench.

Rai’s tightly clenched fist trembles finely.

Even so, his voice came to me in a very calm and quiet request.

“It’s impossible for me to do. Even if I cut off their heads, they would still move. That’s why I need your power, Mir.”

“…”

I quietly looked at Rai’s face.

His voice was acting calm, but.

His face couldn’t lie and was expressing his true emotions.

“My parents always told me to make good friends when they were alive. I was only five years old and couldn’t properly introduce a real friend to my parents.”

“…”

“It might just be my own wishful thinking, but I consider you a close friend. So… let me introduce a friend to my parents for the first and last time-.”

“What are you saying, you foolish brother!”

Crash!

A shrill voice came through as the door was smashed.

I turned my head with wide eyes and found Hikari with a furious expression.

“Are you spouting that nonsense again!? Wasn’t slamming you into the floor enough!?”

Slamming into the floor?

The moment I heard those words, I recalled Rai’s face that had burst through the ceiling when I woke up.

So that was all Hikari’s handiwork.

“Hikari! Leaving our parents like this would actually be better for them-.”

“What does that matter! Our parents are… our parents!”

Drip, drip.

Tears fall down Hikari’s cheeks.

Rai looked at Hikari with a complicated expression.

“What the hell is necromancy anyway! What is it that we can’t even make them a proper grave!”

Hikari’s tear-mixed emotions reach me.

Even if they’re parents whose faces she can’t remember, she wouldn’t want them to disappear from this world forever.

Just as those intense emotions were boiling up.

“I thought you’d be fighting as expected.”

From the other end of the corridor came the voice of Jeong Chan-woo, shaking off his sweat-soaked hair.

He walked over leisurely as if familiar with this situation and looked at me.

“Are you awake?”

I nodded slowly.

Jeong Chan-woo looked me up and down once, then nodded as if I looked fine.

“Were you fighting about your parents again?”

“…”

“I remember that discussion was already concluded.”

Rai and Hikari kept their mouths shut tight.

Jeong Chan-woo turned away from the two siblings who were keeping their mouths shut with identical expressions, then spoke with a sigh-mixed voice.

“There’s one more person under necromancy, isn’t there. Didn’t we agree to leave them alone until we properly deal with that person?”

“…Wait. There’s one more person?”

I looked at Jeong Chan-woo as if asking what he meant.

Jeong Chan-woo looked back at me as if asking whether I didn’t know.

“It’s not just Rai’s parents who are under necromancy.”

“Then who exactly…”

“Aoi Tengen, I think it was. I heard he was Narukami Gaien’s right-hand man who attacked the inn.”

I remember.

He was the man who used sword-drawing techniques.

“But how is that person under necromancy when he’s alive?”

“…No. He was already dead from the time he attacked the inn.”

“What?”

He was definitely alive.

He operated mana normally and spoke proper words normally.

But he was in a dead state.

“When I stopped by the inn to clean up, I naturally thought Aoi Tengen lying there would be dead.”

He wasn’t breathing.

His body was cold.

Phenomena you’d only see in a clearly dead corpse.

But then, Tengen opened his eyes and got up from his spot.

“I was surprised and cut his neck with my sword, but seeing him still move, I thought something wasn’t normal.”

So you cut his neck.

Jeong Chan-woo muttered while looking up at the air as if retracing his memories.

“As it turned out, that guy was already dead. He had been revived in a state where he hadn’t been dead for long, having forgotten the very fact that he was dead.”

Even at that time, there was still mana remaining in Aoi Tengen’s body.

Because mana, the power of life, remained, he retained his reason and could speak properly.

But even that mana has mostly evaporated now that time has passed.

Which means, in other words.

“He came to us in a state where he hadn’t been dead for long?”

“That would be correct.”

No matter how much I think about the reason he died, only one thing comes to mind.

Suzuki, who was his right arm, used magi, but Tengen, the left arm, couldn’t use magi.

Tengen probably died because he couldn’t withstand accepting the magi.

“Anyway, that guy still has some reason left.”

Even saying he has reason left is somewhat inappropriate.

Like a disabled person with brain problems, he was in an unfocused state, unable to properly answer even the questions asked.

“At that level, he’s basically disabled.”

“I think so too, but seeing him occasionally mutter ‘it hurts’ and ‘I don’t want to die,’ he seems to unconsciously remember the scene just before his death.”

People remember most vividly the moments just before death.

But as I said, his mana had almost evaporated and he was on the verge of becoming a mindless monster.

Who the Macheongoe figure that came to the Narukami Clan was.

Also, what kind of existence Macheongoe is.

He was in a state where he couldn’t answer any of those things.

“Right now, although we’re preventing the mana from completely evaporating with senior’s power, it’s uncertain how long that will be possible.”

“What about forcibly injecting mana?”

“It’s not theoretically impossible, but even senior said necromancy isn’t his domain.”

There’s only one solution.

Calling an S-Rank Hunter with necromancy-type unique skills from overseas.

But.

“…That would be impossible.”

“The possibility is almost nonexistent.”

That was close to impossible.

Why?

As I said, necromancy-type unique skills are very rare.

People who became S-Rank Hunters with those skills are even rarer.

There are only exactly four people in the entire world.

For S-Rank Hunters, time is a very precious resource.

Especially if they’re one of only four necromancy-type S-Rank Hunters in the entire world.

Therefore, calling them was practically close to impossible.

‘What should I do.’

If I could just replenish the evaporated mana for Tengen, I could extract information about Macheongoe.

But there’s no method.

Just as I was concentrating, spinning my stiffened head around.

[You have achieved the conditions to enter the ‘Summoner’s Tower’.]

[Condition: Encounter someone revived through necromancy.]

[The remaining time until entry to the stalled ‘Summoner’s Tower’ is now revealed.]

The system suddenly appeared.

[Summoner’s Tower]

[The Summoner’s Tower permitted only to you who have been recognized by the Tower of the Wilderness. You can enter the Summoner’s Tower when using skills.]

[Time remaining until Summoner’s Tower opens: 8 hours]

It asked me as if wondering if there was something I had forgotten.

Looking at such a system, I let out a hollow laugh and muttered quietly.

“…I had forgotten.”

The Summoner’s Tower.

A place that sounds like it would be related to necromancy just from the name.

It doesn’t matter whether the people there are written in the ‘Roster’ or not.

If I go there, I’ll surely be able to gain knowledge related to necromancy.

‘That alone is enough.’

If I gain knowledge about necromancy.

I can use it to inject mana into Tengen.

“Rai. Hikari. Can you wait about two weeks… no, about one more week?”

“…Do you have some method this time too?”

“I think there might be. With a very high probability.”

I turned my head to look at Jeong Chan-woo.

Meeting my gaze, he soon chuckled and looked to the side.

“That’s what he says, so how should I answer?”

“What do you mean how to answer. Of course we should let him go.”

“That’s the answer, Hunter Han Mi-reo.”

At Seong Yu-mi’s playful voice coming from beyond the wall, I also let out a small laugh.

Right.

That’s enough.

I exhaled deeply and clenched my fist.

8 hours from now.

I will enter the Summoner’s Tower.

* * *

That night.

I muttered while eating sashimi.

“Setting that aside, so this place was the Narukami Clan.”

I naturally thought it would be somewhere else.

But as it turns out, this place was the Narukami Clan’s annex.

“The main building is still under reconstruction, so it can’t be helped.”

“I wasn’t complaining that it was small.”

Even the annex was bigger than the inn we had stayed at.

I put white rice in my mouth and quietly looked to the side.

There lay Rai’s sword in its sheath.

“Come to think of it, what is that sword?”

“Are you talking about Raiden?”

“Yeah. Didn’t lightning come out of it?”

My memory is hazy since it was during battle.

But I remember some strange lightning coming out.

“I heard Raiden is a sword that’s been passed down for thousands of years.”

I turned my head to look at Hikari.

She was slowly patting the back of Jini, who was pouting with her lips pushed out, sulking about being forcibly put to sleep.

“The one who properly used it was Narukami’s founding head, but given how much time has passed, perhaps some mysterious power has settled into it?”

“…Is that so?”

I tilted my head and looked at the sword.

I definitely felt a strange power then, but now it seems ordinary again.

“Even when I try to use it again, it doesn’t respond. Though a skill called Raiden appeared in my unique skills.”

Does that mean I can’t use it again?

Clicking my tongue softly, I finished my meal.

I immediately stood up from my seat.

“Thanks for the meal.”

“…Are you leaving now?”

“I have to go.”

I quietly turned my gaze to the side.

[Time remaining until Summoner’s Tower opens: 0 hours]

[The Summoner’s Tower is now open as of this time.]

The Summoner’s Tower was already open.

There was no need to hesitate any longer.

As I stood up from my seat, Elpinire, Kargon, and Jini rose from their seats one after another.

“Shall we go?”

No words were needed.

They too had already been told they would enter the Tower.

Coming out to the entrance and putting on my shoes, I looked ahead.

“Be careful, Black Dragon. We can hold out for a month, so there’s no need to push yourself.”

“We’ll be waiting.”

“I want to go home quickly, so hurry back.”

“I-I don’t know what it is, but be careful!”

Seong Yu-mi, Jeong Chan-woo, Im Seung-hun, and Cheon Yu-na were saying their farewells at the entrance.

I wasn’t sure if they came out to see me off because we’re in the same Guild or what.

“I’ll come back with gold rank.”

But it didn’t feel bad at least.

Chuckling softly, I waved at them and turned around.

After leaving the entrance, I walked for a while and entered a deserted forest.

After confirming no one was around, I took a deep breath and said,

“I’ll call you once I’m inside the Tower.”

“Okay.”

“Yes.”

“Got it.”

The three people instantly turned into mist and disappeared.

Left alone like that… no.

“Squeak!”

Left alone with just Cheo-ri, I made a strong wish.

[Summoner’s Tower]

Please send me to the Summoner’s Tower.

My body began to float upward.

My vision was dyed with bright light.

I calmly exhaled the breath I had been holding and closed my eyes.

And so in the dark forest at midnight.

“…”

No one remained.
