Episode 386
386
Giant Necromancer Golem.
It wasn’t a common monster, nor was it one that appeared frequently even as a boss, yet its massive frame and appearance were practically indistinguishable from a raid boss.
The sight of multiple spirits writhing together in one place was deeply unsettling.
But to Michael, nothing could have been more welcome.
A real shortcut!
Michael spoke with joy, yet maintained his composure.
“We need to fight this as if it’s a raid boss. Rowell and Noar will coordinate attacks. I’ll take the front line, so Yoo Sung, you’ll have free rein.”
The moment Michael finished speaking, he charged forward seriously, transforming into light as he shot forward.
Seeing the light-attribute swordsmanship, Sung-hyun’s eyes gleamed slightly as he provided light support while observing the Michael Party’s full capabilities.
Though they had fought together, he hadn’t yet confirmed this party’s true strength or actual abilities.
With that thought, Sung-hyun began drawing out beams of light.
Michael, who had rushed at the Giant Necromancer Golem, swung his luminous blade wrapped in brilliant light toward the creature.
Crash———!
The Giant Necromancer Golem’s massive arm, which had been descending to crush Michael, was sent flying backward.
The brilliant light flashed, leaving a rather long gash on the golem’s arm, and in that instant, Rowell shouted.
“Now!”
Sung-hyun, responding to Rowell’s call, first fired multiple beams of light toward the Giant Necromancer Golem’s chest as cover.
The beams flew at the speed of light, striking the golem’s chest with tremendous force, while the red beams traced a straight trajectory through the air, leaving crimson trails in their wake.
Boom———!
Multiple volleys of beams struck the Giant Necromancer Golem, causing an explosion, and as it staggered for a moment, Rowell’s arrow—released at that precise instant—shot forward.
Seeing this, Noar leaped up and planted his feet on the arrow that broke the sound barrier.
With an assassin’s characteristic nimble movements, he stood upon the supersonic arrow, then flew forward rapidly and swung his dagger at the Giant Necromancer Golem’s neck.
A killing intent infused the strike, and the golem’s neck was cut, though the wound was shallow.
Despite attacking with both speed and force, the shallow wound caused the Giant Necromancer Golem to react, reaching out toward Noar, who had delivered the final attack.
Though the Giant Necromancer Golem possessed a massive and heavy frame, due to its necromantic nature, it moved swiftly, clenching its fist and reaching toward Noar.
However, Noar stepped on the arrow flying toward him and immediately ascended to the ceiling, while the Giant Necromancer Golem’s fist cut through empty air.
Whoosh———!!!
The Giant Necromancer Golem’s fist, heavily tearing through the air, radiated overwhelming power, and everyone present realized that no one could afford to be struck by that attack.
-Whoa!!!!!!!!!!!!
-Now that’s it!!!!!!!!
-They joke around, but when it comes to serious combat, this is what the Haelham Party is all about!!!!!!
-Hahaha, so you’re saying the skill is actually really good???
Haha, that’s pretty impressive.
The viewers couldn’t help but marvel, sending praise as they witnessed the Michael Party’s strength after so long.
Michael wasn’t watched merely for being funny and articulate—everyone was genuinely impressed by his party’s abilities.
Just like the viewers, Sung-hyun was equally impressed.
‘Quite formidable.’
If he had to make a comparison, they seemed somewhat lacking compared to the Luna Party, but they were on par with the Embris Party.
It was quite an impressive combination, and Noar’s movements in particular were outstanding.
Of course, Michael’s movements, which controlled everything, were equally excellent.
Even now, he was deflecting the giant skeletal golem’s attacks wrapped in radiant light as it tried to strike Noar at optimal moments, while opening opportunities for Noar’s attacks to land.
Yoo Sung-hyun was also providing support while attacking, and from this, I could understand the party’s structure.
‘A parrying-type tank, a support-type archer, and finally an extreme damage dealer assassin?’
It was somewhat ironic that Noar, who appeared unexpectedly timid, was the one handling extreme damage, but I was beginning to understand why this party so desperately wanted a mage.
Parrying and support were sufficient, but with only one person dealing damage, they needed a mage to fill the gap in their offensive output.
The moment I quickly grasped the party’s shortcoming, I immediately began charging up rays of light and thought to myself.
‘Since that’s what they seem to want.’
With that thought, I drew out a bundle of crimson rays and wove them together like twisting a spiral, creating a single ray that rotated like a helix.
Piiiiiiiii———!!
The rapidly rotating ray emitted that strange sound as it gathered in midair, and the moment Michael saw it and instinctively stepped back, sensing something unusual.
The spiraling ray of light shot into the giant skeletal golem’s chest, and before it could even react, its core was pierced and destroyed.
Michael let out an absurd cry of shock upon witnessing it.
“Whoa—what!?!?”
“Wow.”
“What, what is that!?”
And it wasn’t just Michael who cried out in amazement—Rowell and Noar were equally astounded.
Who would have thought a single strike could pierce through the chest like that?
Until now, Noar had been targeting the neck and the chest where the ray had left its mark, but I never imagined it would be pierced and destroyed in one hit.
And the viewers felt the same way.
-???????????????????
-Lol what was that scream from Haelham lol
-That’s hilarious lol
-Lololololol
-But more than that, what about Yoo Sung? His damage output is insane???
-I knew his damage was strong, but not to this degree!?
The viewers couldn’t help but be shocked by Yoo Sung-hyun’s damage output.
No matter how strong someone was, there were few who could use a skill of that magnitude.
Because of this, some viewers grew suspicious.
-Wasn’t that just now a Secret Technique????
-A Secret Technique????
-Rankers can usually use Secret Techniques, right??????
-There are people who can use them before reaching that rank too.
-Is it really a Secret Technique??????
-Based on the power alone, it would be believable if it were a Secret Technique;;;;
Reading the viewers’ chat, I smiled quietly to myself.
Because their suspicion was actually correct—it was indeed a Secret Technique.
I had borrowed the power of the Red Moon from Serpina and drawn upon the Necromancer Lord’s power as well, transforming the skill to resemble a Secret Technique.
The viewers were sharper than I expected.
Even so, without explicitly saying anything, Sung-hyun silently absorbed the aura of the undead creatures as he watched the giant undead golem crumble to ash alongside the other undead, unnoticed by anyone.
As the Necromancer Lord, he needed to recover a certain number of these lesser undead to handle more powerful ones.
Thinking to himself that coming to Mugan was truly the right decision, Sung-hyun watched the experience points flow in and smiled with satisfaction.
As the relatively simple raid came to an end,
Michael, Rowell, and Noar hurried over to Sung-hyun.
“Wow, what was that just now!?”
“Is that some kind of secret technique? That was absolutely incredible!?”
“That was… truly amazing.”
When everyone gathered around and praised him like that, Sung-hyun seemed a bit embarrassed and scratched his cheek with his index finger.
The viewers erupted in cheers watching him.
hahahahahaha
I can see you’re embarrassed lol
“A handsome guy who’s also cute? I can’t handle this lolol”
Is -??? a woman?
-Shh, don’t go revealing that.
I’m shaking/trembling (expressing fear, shock, or cold)
His bashfulness had such power to draw cheers that even Rowell found himself unconsciously swallowing hard as he watched Sung-hyun.
In any case, Sung-hyun explained to the Michael Party members who came rushing over.
“It’s the technique right before the secret art.”
“Ohhh!!!”
“That makes sense.”
“It really was incredibly powerful.”
Everyone nodded in agreement at Sung-hyun’s explanation, and the viewers also found it reasonable.
-If it’s the technique right before a secret art, then that much firepower makes sense.
Lol, but doesn’t the Haelham Party not have anything similar to Oh’s previous stages, let alone the stages themselves?
Why are you rubbing salt in the wound again?
-Secret arts are pretty rare among jobs anyway.
-Still, everyone in the Haelham Party is above Legendary grade, so they might obtain one eventually?
-Ah, that’s true. Secret arts aren’t exclusive to lord-class jobs anyway.
Yeah, that’s true.
As the viewers continued chatting,
Michael glanced at the increasingly lengthy analysis and chat, then cut it short appropriately.
“So shall we take the shortcut? I think we can really make fast progress today!?”
As they began their advance, the viewers focused on the stream, and they quickly cleared the dungeon via the shortcut. With Sung-hyun’s assistance, they accelerated their progress even further, and that day they managed to reach Underground Floor 75.
Even for latecomers, clearing two or more floors a day was considered excellent, but after clearing Floor 71, they broke through Floor 73 via the shortcut and swiftly conquered Floor 74, allowing Michael’s Party to become the practical second-ranked party since the Mansik Party hadn’t yet uploaded their video.
Michael, along with Rowell and Noar, were astonished at the breakneck pace, and thus the first day of broadcasting with Sung-hyun’s arrival came to an end.
0.
Sung-hyun exited the Capsule and stretched his stiff body, then after loosening up appropriately, let out a quiet chuckle.
“That was fun.”
The broadcast had been quite enjoyable, and the party hunting had been rather entertaining as well.
Thinking about forming a party after such a long time, I found myself drawn to the idea of continuing this arrangement for a while.
Particularly with Michael, I was learning about broadcasting rather than anything else, so it wasn’t now, but before long—before reaching Underground Floor 100, the Deep Area—there were some things I’d need to ask permission for.
If I continued alone like this through the raids connected to the Necromancer Lord, the Destruction Lord, and the Despair Lord, it would be absolutely impossible for me to handle.
Of course, fighting alone wasn’t a problem, but reaching Floor 100 by myself was impossible.
How long would it take to start from Underground Floor 1 and reach Floor 100?
It was better to ride along like this and ask for their cooperation instead.
If they refused, there was nothing I could do, but based on Michael’s personality, I didn’t think that would happen.
Besides, I’d already mentioned that I had a guild.
‘Later, when I tell him I’m the Demon King and do broadcasting together, that should be helpful in its own way, right?’
I concluded that this wouldn’t be a burden on Michael at all.
Rather, it was an opportunity for promotion, so Michael would definitely appreciate it.
Well, as I mentioned earlier, if he refused, I was willing to capture the three Lords on Michael’s broadcast instead.
My true objective was the three Lords, not broadcasting above all else.
I wasn’t sure how Michael would respond, but for now, I intended to enjoy this.
Of course, I’d hinted at it today.
I’d asked if it would be okay to ask for a favor later if needed.
Michael had readily agreed, saying of course it was fine, so I headed to dinner with some anticipation.
But then my older sister Yoo Mi-na said something quite shocking.
“The guild is asking what you think about going on summer vacation this time?”
“Summer vacation?”
It was quite shocking and quite unexpected news.
