Episode 58
58
“Oh. Cheok Cheok Seoksa’s excited?”
The fellow who usually spoke in a flat tone for just 1 DP had thrown three exclamation marks into the chat.
The shock must have been considerable.
At that, the other viewers erupted in chaos as well.
[Night Shift Nation has donated 5 DP!]
Jegal Yuyeon is pretty
[Three Cats has donated 3 DP!]
Boss man, rocks on the rocks here!
“Hey, why are you drinking whiskey? You’ll regret it.”
These fellows seem more interested in Jegal Yuyeon than the formation strategy?
The image of a beautiful strategist wielding a fan while critiquing tactics must have made quite an impression.
“Children, compose yourselves. This isn’t what matters right now.”
I continued with deliberate regret in my voice.
“Your precious DP might vanish. What if you don’t land the 6% threshold?”
-No no no! Ahhhhh!
-My 10 DP…
-We’ve only cleared one Safety milestone, hopium engaged
-We can’t clear Food or Health anyway, right? And Safety didn’t go above 80, did it? Right?
The viewers shrieked in alarm.
Since the Safety stat had already exceeded the clear condition, their defeat flags were quietly being raised.
“Well, we’ll know the result when we see it.”
So then, shall we move on to the next task?
My subordinates were rolling ahead with infrastructure work on their own, so I just needed to do my part.
“I’ll leave the subordinates’ work as is… think I’ll go hunting?”
To solidify the Safety stat more reliably, the direct approach was to clear out monsters around the village.
The formation was good for defense, but if we eliminated all threats at the source, that would be the cleanest solution.
“Ho Poong Hwan Woo. Come forth.”
At my call, the four Ho Poong Hwan Woo materialized from the shadows.
I then summoned the Imperial Palanquin as well.
My dominion calculation showed I had enough capacity to summon these four.
Ho Poong Hwan Woo hoisted the massive Imperial Palanquin with ease.
“Go. Outside the village.”
I settled onto the Imperial Throne, crossing my legs without ceremony.
I was starting to understand why that Necromancer bastard in my past life had been so fond of riding around in a palanquin with such swagger.
Once you’ve tasted it, it’s a flavor you can’t quit.
Thus I rode serenely toward the village outskirts aboard the Imperial Throne.
* * *
From what I understood, there were several methods to clear this stage.
Raising the village’s Safety could be solved through wall construction, but other routes definitely existed.
Namely, drying up the source of monsters near the village.
If we eradicated any threats entirely, Safety and everything else would follow automatically.
“The surest way is always to eliminate the root.”
Surveying the terrain around the village, I spotted one mountain, one forest, and plains everywhere else.
The only places monsters would congregate were the mountain and forest.
“Then let’s deal with the mountain and forest first.”
I entered the forest while seated on the Imperial Throne.
Then I withdrew a chunk of meat from my inventory.
“Time to cast the bait.”
I began roasting the meat over a campfire.
Sizzle.
The savory aroma of roasting meat drifted through the air.
This was all part of the strategy.
Once the scent of meat spread, nearby monsters would lose their appetite for self-control and come swarming.
It’s like chumming and waiting for a bite when you’re fishing.
Sure enough.
Rustle, rustle.
A pack of goblins emerged from the brush.
“Ah. Got a bite?”
I watched the goblins snap up the bait, and immediately raised my hand.
“Necrotic Power Arrow.”
Piff-piff-piff-piff!
Black arrows shot forth in rapid succession, piercing cleanly through the goblins’ skulls.
The fire rate rivaled a machine gun—the goblins collapsed one after another without even time to scream.
-Yi Museon using magic is so rare to see
-How long has it been since we saw necromancy? Seriously no clue
-Honestly, I couldn’t tell if this was even a mage class or some hidden boss until now.
The chat’s getting worked up over nothing. But still.
“Hmm. This is far too easy.”
Hard Mode in name only—a few trash mobs and I’m already disappointed.
“Is this really Hard Mode? My body’s not even warmed up yet….”
That was the exact moment I spoke those words.
Rumble-rumble-rumble-rumble!
The entire forest trembled, and hundreds upon hundreds of goblins came pouring out.
“Oh! A goblin wave!”
Now this is starting to look like Hard Mode.
-Whoa goblins coming in groups
-Is Yi Museon gonna be okay??
-All the undead legions are working on construction in the territory right now how is he gonna stop this
-Wait wait Yi Museon you’re not actually dying right?!
-He’s sitting alone in the Imperial Palanquin about to get surrounded isn’t he?
The viewers erupted in the chat, their excitement palpable.
They thought I had no combat forces at all since my entire undead army was busy with construction back at the territory.
Well, I appreciated their concern.
“My, my… all this worry over nothing.”
I sat relaxed in the Imperial Throne, smiling with ease.
“Then let me show you a supreme demonstration of sword technique!”
This was exactly when a popular hunter showed off dazzling martial prowess to captivate the audience.
“Ho Poong Hwan Woo!”
“Yes, my lord.”
“Grass Upper Flight!”
“At once.”
Four Ho Poong Hwan Woo in unison drove their feet into the ground while lifting the Imperial Palanquin.
They then charged straight up the massive tree before us, defying its vertical face as if it were level ground.
The sight of them scaling the tree vertically without heeding gravity was like something straight out of a wuxia film.
Ascending a tree vertically while carrying the palanquin—wasn’t this a visual spectacle rivaling any action blockbuster?
The charging goblins froze, staring up at me in confusion.
They seemed just as baffled as I’d hoped.
“Kiiieeeee!”
Snapping to their senses, the goblins pointed up at me and began scrambling up the tree trunk en masse.
Remarkably persistent creatures.
But then.
Whoooosh!
Crack! Crack!
The Spirit Armor of Wandering Ghosts enveloping my body—the spirits within surged forward as one and savagely tore into the climbing goblins.
“Kyieeeek!”
The goblins writhed in agony and tumbled down in droves.
After that, none dared make another attempt.
“Hmm. I climbed up here to show off a bit, and now they won’t even come at me.”
Here I’d set the perfect scene, only to have the audience run away.
“Can’t be helped. Let’s descend.”
Ho Poong Hwan Woo slid smoothly back down to the ground.
And the moment their feet touched earth.
Whoooosh!
The spirits erupted into a frenzy.
Forty-eight wandering souls scattered in all directions, tearing through the goblins indiscriminately in a massacre beyond measure.
The goblins fell like leaves in autumn wind, barely able to scream before they expired.
And that was far from the end.
A low, thunderous growl.
The dead goblins scattered across the ground began rising to their feet one by one.
They’d come back as walking corpses.
“Go. Kill everything that still draws breath.”
The moment my command fell, the zombie goblins scattered in all directions and charged forward.
They hurled themselves at their former comrades with bared fangs.
An infinite multiplication system—the more I killed, the larger my undead army grew.
This, truly, was the flower of necromancy.
-Wait, why are you making a zombie apocalypse movie solo?
-They were goblins just now and now they’re zombies lol
-Isn’t Spirit Armor of Wandering Ghosts totally broken?
-Thought he was running away into the trees but he started a massacre lmao
-The entire forest is becoming Spirit Monarch’s army
The viewers erupted again.
Well, this was the kind of spectacle that made streaming worthwhile.
“That the enemy has superior numbers does not mean they can defeat me. That a single enemy may be formidable does not mean they can defeat me. Thus may I rightfully claim invincibility under heaven.”
-Here it comes! The Invincibility Declaration!
-OMG lmaooooo so cringe
-But seriously how does he win? Legit confused
-Ah. This too must be through the grace of Master Spirit Monarch.
“Well then. Shall we begin the real cleanup?”
Leaving the chat’s endless barrage of jokes behind, I pressed deeper into the forest.
I’d kill everything I could see!
* * *
A sudden raid on the orc settlement!
In an instant I slaughtered dozens using my Wandering Ghosts, turned them into undead, and commenced battle!
“SCREEEEAK! GIVE HUMAN FLEEEEESH!”
Unlike the goblins, these orcs didn’t flee—their eyes blazed red as they charged mindlessly at me.
But.
Having already made the Wandering Ghosts serve as extensions of my own body, allowing me to deploy some of my martial arts, they posed no real threat!
“Behold! This is the Emperor Sword Form of House Namgung!”
A tremendous slash erupted!
In my past life, I would’ve simply cried out, Ah, the will manifests as heaven and earth itself!, but—
Now, with my knowledge expanded since my rebirth, I could explain precisely what martial art this was.
That’s right.
The Emperor Sword Form channels the energy of the blade into Invisible Sword Qi to suppress the surrounding space—a form of spatial suppression martial art!
However.
To properly execute the Emperor Sword Form, even in my past life, I’d needed to reach at least the pinnacle of mastery.
Otherwise, I couldn’t unify will and energy, couldn’t control the surrounding space through Invisible Sword Qi at all.
And that’s not all.
The Emperor Sword Form.
It’s strong, but honestly speaking, the internal energy consumption is catastrophic.
Without the Necron Ossuary—though my power reserves had weakened somewhat since I’d extracted multiple corpses from it—I’d have completely drained my Spirit Power after just thirty seconds of deployment.
But.
With the Necron Ossuary’s support, I could still manifest the Emperor Sword Form.
This was, in essence—
“Domain Expansion. Infinite Void… well, not quite that. In any case, Domain Expansion!”
A tremendous gust swept outward!
Slice! Shriek!
The charging orc warrior—formidable-looking too—lost his head in a single stroke.
And that was only the beginning.
The moment the flood of orcs pouring from all sides stepped into the domain of the Emperor Sword Form, my Invisible Sword Qi severed their limbs cleanly, while others were torn apart by the Wandering Ghosts writhing around them.
-TTTT… no… what… is this
-What am I even watching?
-A Necromancer using Domain Expansion?
As the viewers gasped, I continued to obliterate the orc village.
Then the chieftain of the orc settlement emerged.
“SCREEEEAK! HUMAAAAN!”
Inferior to Carak, but not so much weaker as to be laughable.
Perhaps half-step level?
