Absolute Necromancer Chapter 401

Episode 401

“Then are you going straight to the enemy’s base?”

Haryu asked, looking at the serious Ryu Hwan.

Their home base and nest hidden on the 800th floor.

When asked if he would invade there, Ryu Hwan shook his head.

“That’s not it.”

“… … That’s too bad. I can’t help it since Mr. Ryu Hwan said that… … But can I hear the reason?”

“That’s not difficult.”

Ryu Hwan shrugged and nodded, explaining why he could not storm the enemy’s stronghold.

“The first reason is because it is dangerous.”

“… … Dangerous? Didn’t you say that if it’s Lord Ryu Hwan, he’s someone that even the leader of the Four Emperors can’t treat lightly?”

danger.

After hearing the first reason, Ha-ryu couldn’t help but tilt his head.

Even the image of Ryu Hwan, who said that even the Dragon Emperor, the leader of the Dragon Clan, could not dare to do anything to him, is still vivid.

Ryu Hwan nodded at those words.

“That’s right. But that’s not only because I’m stronger than them, but also because if they confront me, the damage to the entire species will be greater. In other words, if I were to become a full-fledged enemy of them… … .”

“… … You won’t just sit back and let this happen either, so that means Ryu Hwan is also in danger.”

“Of course, if I kill a few people like I am doing now, you will consider it as stepping in shit, but if I go to their base and cause trouble like you said, I will have to be prepared to die too. The damage will be enormous, but it won’t reach the level of extermination.”

“If that’s the case, then I too am against invading their base.”

It was not cost-effective to put Liu Huan in danger in exchange for the half-annihilation of these people, who were merely one of the Four Emperors.

Ryu Hwan burst out laughing as he looked at Ha Ryu who was talking like that with a sullen face and roughly ruffled Ha Ryu’s hair.

“… … Huh, what are you doing?”

“I do it because you’re cute. I wouldn’t have thought of doing it even if you didn’t say so. The second reason is also important.”

“Oh, by the way, you said ‘danger’ was the first reason?”

“Yes, the second reason is that I can’t use all my power as I please.”

“……yes?”

When Ha-ryu heard the second reason, he couldn’t hide his shock.

‘… … This isn’t all the strength you used?’

The fact that the two Four Emperors were actually not at full strength, as if they were children, was enough to surprise the lower class.

But Ryu Hwan responded as if it was natural.

“Do you think the Tower would let the transcendent beings who haven’t become gods or demons go free without a leash? We’re not gods or demons, but we do have some pretty heavy chains on us.”

“Ah… … I guess that’s true.”

When I heard it, it was obvious.

Transcendent beings are beings that cannot be defeated even by gods or demons who descend within the tower.

If such people were to run wild within the tower without any restrictions, the ecosystem within the tower would be thrown into disarray.

Since it was an understandable part, Ha-ryu nodded as if he understood.

“There are various types of chains… … but you only need to know two. After all, no one uses anything else than those two.”

“Are you talking about Tess or Walpurgis?”

“Yes, they are both the same chains. Only mine are different.”

Haryu asked, looking at Ryu Hwan, who responded by tapping his own wrist without saying anything.

“Then what are Ryu Hwan’s shackles?”

“I like to wander, so I don’t want to be tied down to one place. Thanks to that, I was able to move around freely without any territory or anything. However, the price I paid was that 10-20% of my power was always sealed. This power cannot be released unless I become a god or a demon or receive a powerful sacrifice.”

“10 to 20 percent… … Not a small amount.”

“The width of the seal increases as I actively intervene within the tower. The maximum is 20%. If you don’t want to get stabbed by a weakling while doing something harsh, then you should just leave.”

Well, even so, the dragon-class one should come and stab me, he said, leaving Ryu Hwan, who was giggling, behind, Haryu asked about other shackles.

“Then what about Walpurgis or Tess?”

“It’s here. Here.”

Knock knock-

Ryu Hwan lightly tapped the ground with his feet as he answered.

Haruyū nodded as if he understood what was happening.

“It’s the realm.”

“Correct. They can exert their full power within the area. Maybe even more power. However, if they go outside the area, 30% of their power is unconditionally sealed, and sometimes up to 40% can be tied up.”

“… … I think I know why Ryu Hwan chose to keep it sealed at all times.”

“Heh, really? If I had chosen the domain shackles, I would have killed myself hundreds of years ago. I was bored.”

It was a very simple reason for suicide, but considering Ryu Hwan’s personality, it wasn’t an incomprehensible reason, so Ha Ryu didn’t add anything else.

There is no need to explain further as the reason Ryu Hwan came to the Great Witch’s Forest was because he was bored and wanted to see Walpurgis.

“Then how will you move?”

I knew that an all-out war would be difficult.

No, even if you give it your all, it would be difficult for a Transcendent One to wipe out all of the Four Emperors on his own.

That’s why Ha-ryu was curious about what method Ryu-hwan would choose.

And Ryu Hwan’s method was simple.

“We have to kill them slowly from the bottom up. We’re going to wage a war of attrition. Of course, the only things that will be consumed are their lives.”

“… … Hit and run. Or guerrilla warfare.”

“Yes, if that’s the way to do it, they’ll never touch me. Even if their lords come out and make a fool of themselves, they’ll just stick out.”

“Haha, if that really happens, Ryu Hwan-nim won’t be in much danger, but the enemies will suffer great damage.”

“It will take time, but other than that, nothing is as certain as this.”

War of attrition.

Hit and run.

Guerrilla warfare.

They were all similar words.

However, the lower class was delighted by the fact that the one who would strike here would always be Ryu Hwan.

As he said, Ryu Hwan was no exaggeration to call himself the best hitman.

If he were to act as a hitman, even Jinhyeok would likely be beheaded within ten attacks.

‘Maybe I’ll fall on the first try.’

Ha-ryu liked Jin-hyeok and knew that he was great, but he also knew that compared to Ryu-hwan in front of him, he was like a firefly in front of the sun.

That’s why I welcomed Ryu Hwan’s plan.

“If you guys leave, I’ll move too. So for now, let’s just rest and watch that guy fight.”

“… … Aren’t you going to help me, Brother?”

But when he heard Ryu Hwan’s words that followed, Haryu put aside his joy and hardened his face.

Because I heard Ryu Hwan’s answer that he would not help Jinhyeok, who was fighting a bloody battle with two powerful enemies, Gern and Morg, from afar.

“Why should I help you?”

“… … It’s dangerous.”

No matter how big the gap between themselves and Jinhyeok is, they are still strong enough to be called opponents.

It was natural for Ha-ryu to be worried, but Ryu-hwan didn’t care.

“Can’t you see that guy laughing? If I try to get in, I’ll be lucky if I don’t get cursed at? Well, if that guy really looks like he’s going to die, I’ll think about it, but I don’t really want to save that son of a bitch who stole my cute descendant. And especially not a guy who has more than one or two women.”

“Ryu… …Ryu Hwan! What are you talking about!”

At Ryu Hwan’s grumbling words, Ha Ryu’s frozen face suddenly turns bright red.

Bossam!

When Ha-ryu stamped his feet in confusion, as if he had never expected such words to come out of Ryu-hwan’s mouth.

Ryu Hwan replied, biting the end of the bear’s paw in his mouth.

“… … You said there were other goblins left besides you?”

“yes…….”

“I should meet him sometime.”

“… … Grandpa will definitely like it too.”

“Huh! I guess so. It’ll be lucky if they don’t curse and ask why I didn’t save them.”

Another survivor I heard about earlier from downstream.

A goblin who abandoned his original name, Genno, and took the name Muyeong.

Ryu Hwan seemed quite excited about meeting him, even though he thought he might curse at him.

But that didn’t last long.

Kwaaaaaaaah!

“……what!”

“Hmm, that one’s been decided too.”

Because a huge explosion erupted that swallowed up the battle taking place in the spirit world in an instant.

Gern and Morgue.

It was also the sound of a bell that announced that the two people had begun to burn their own lives.

“Shouldn’t I be helping?”

The restless Ha-ryu wiggled his buttocks as if he was going to jump out at any moment, but Ryu-hwan watched him with a very cold gaze, in contrast to before.

“Wait. We haven’t even started yet.”

“……yes.”

Haruyū had to put his shaking butt down on the floor at the voice that was so heavy and oppressive.

Ryu Hwan fixed his eyes on Jin Hyeok without even glancing at the quiet Ha Ryu.

‘Even I have never thought of exterminating all of the Four Emperors. Let alone the gods and demons above them, I have never imagined that. Show me proof that what you said was not just empty words, Cha Jin-hyeok.’

The Four Emperors.

Furthermore, the goal is to punish both gods and demons who are hostile to him.

Ryu Hwan quietly watched Jinhyeok’s battle because he wanted to see proof that it could be achieved. * * *

Jinhyuk’s battle went smoothly.

‘The difference in wounds is big.’

The wound that Ryu Hwan initially inflicted.

There was a difference that could be said to be beneficial to those in the lower ranks but poisonous to Jinhyeok.

Of course it wasn’t easy, but it wasn’t that difficult compared to the path I’ve walked so far.

But that is now a thing of the past.

“… … Kwaaaaaaaah!”

“… …Imir! Bless your children! The power to crush the enemy!”

Gern and Morgue, who were furious at the sight of being pushed back every moment, began to gather strength by risking their own lives.

Puhwaaaaah!

The massive burst of magic energy covers Gern without leaving a single space open.

Soon, Gern, who was soaked in magic, looked at Jinhyeok with his eyes shining with magic.

-Your enemy is my enemy. Crush him.

“… … Kewaaaaaaaaa!”

Pitter-patter!

Morgh’s body expands violently as Ymir’s voice is heard from beyond the crimson sky of the Astral Realm.

A gigantic figure of Morgue pumped up in an instant.

Even at first glance, it looked like it could crush a mountain, so Jinhyuk could feel his mouth going dry.

‘Two 700-floor climbers of the complete Four Emperors… … It’s tough.’

They will leave here in exchange for living here, not living at all.

That’s the story of when you win.

But the price was strong.

Because it was an overwhelming sight that was enough to cover up the wounds Ryu Hwan had sustained.

life.

It goes without saying that for most people, the price they pay for putting something up as collateral is high.

Of course, Jinhyuk was nervous about that fact, but he had no fear.

Shhh-

He just smiled with the corners of his lips raised.

“I’m a professional when it comes to risking my life.”

Jinhyeok, who had been watching Gern and Morgue risk their lives in front of him, no different from his own identity, smiled mockingly and then moved.

“Risking your life… … I’ll show you that you have to do this much. Ilwon.”

Kugugugugugugugu-

The energy that became one within Jinhyeok was transformed into something called Ilwonryeok.

Jinhyeok then divided the power that had become completely one.

“Division into four.”

Splash! Splash! Splash! Splash!

A monad divided into exactly four parts.

In return, Jinhyuk felt his dominance surge so wildly that his entire body trembled.

Here, if Jinhyeok lost control of the four-part power, his body would burst like a balloon, but Jinhyeok did not hesitate at all and roughly mixed it up.

The first piece of power is the Taoist.

The second piece of force is the main force.

The third piece of the force is the brain.

The first three energies that were mixed soon changed into the three elements.

The quantity and quality were so vast that they could not even be compared to the Samhaenggi that had been published so far, but Jinhyeok did not stop there.

The last remaining piece of the power.

Hurrah!

A single spark of flame rising from within.

“I will destroy it with the power of the downstream.”

Jinhyuk swallowed all the flames rising from the massive firearm with his fist and threw the last piece into the Samhaenggi.

Kwarrrrrrrr-

The energy of thought, created by the mixing of four energies, roughly wraps around Jinhyeok.

A spirit of thought that grows larger and larger while simultaneously crushing everything around it and sucking in the energy of nature.

“The Four Elements of Energy.”

The Four Elements of Energy.

It was the name of Jinhyeok’s new energy, which was only one step away from the Five Elements.

And Jinhyeok, who was wrapped around the gambling machine, shot like a ray of light towards Gern, who was now almost half-demon, and Morg, who had become larger than Taesan.
