Absolute Necromancer Chapter 410

Episode 410

Kwak wak wak wak wak wak wak!

An eerie sound rings out one after another.

With a single ‘kwajik’, the crystal ball, which was as big as a house, was shattered to pieces and became unrecognizable, but no one present was able to stop them.

“… …Magi, divine power, spiritual power, dragon power, and great power. All five types of energy were confirmed to be EX-grade.”

“… … Taoist power, brain power, spirit power, main power, and fire power are each between S+ and S.”

Including Mana, there were a whopping six energies, none of which were EX-level, and even the other energies that were less powerful were more than enough to slap any climber left or right.

Fortunately, the remaining auras that were not EX-class did not turn the crystal ball into dust.

It was inevitable that it was destroyed, but it would be appropriate to say that it was fortunate that at least some of the fragments were salvaged.

‘If I sell this, I can make 10% of the profit.’

‘thank god.’

Those who were shedding tears of blood at the thought of having to pay for the shattered crystal balls while announcing the test results were relieved for a moment.

“Can I take the broken crystal ball?”

“……yes?”

Their tears of blood grew thicker at a single word from the being who created this situation.

It was originally a ridiculous thing.

The correction ball belongs to the association after all.

No matter how shattered it was, it was the association’s job to deal with it.

But when Jinhyeok says he will naturally take the shattered pieces, the presenters are left stamping their feet, unable to do anything.

Kwach!

They looked up in horror at the sound of the window on the second floor breaking –

“Tongue… … President?”

“Above… … it’s dangerous!”

It was only the second floor, and only a few shards of glass, but they were terrified, thinking that their boss would get hurt.

Rather, Jinhyeok and his group, who had known about it in advance, were more calm.

‘He won’t get hurt that badly. Of course, he’s the strongest I’ve ever seen on Earth.’

It hadn’t been that long since he set foot on Earth, but he had never seen a being stronger than Duchan, so it was natural for him to be calm.

And Du-chan, who jumped down roughly from the second floor, immediately knelt down and placed his forehead on the ground as soon as his feet touched the ground.

“Chairman?”

“… … You can take the fragments.”

A very polite answer.

It’s hard to believe that he is the head of an association that governs a country called the Republic of Korea.

Everyone who knew Du-chan was terrified, but Jin-hyeok nodded as if it was nothing special, picked up the scattered fragments with a gesture, and handed them to Du-chan, who was still kneeling.

“… …? Are you giving it back to me?”

Jinhyeok tilted his head as if it was strange to Duchan’s question, asking if he was collecting the fragments and returning them to him.

“Didn’t you say I could have it?”

“Yes… … But why me… … ?”

Since you said I could take it, shouldn’t I take it?

Doo-chan, who was thinking like that, soon realized that he still didn’t know Jin-hyeok well.

“Change it into money. I don’t know how to sell this.”

“… … Hey, go settle the crystal shards and bring me cash.”

“Yes… … Yes!”

A creative economy where you steal other people’s stuff and then return it to them in exchange for money.

Jinhyeok, who had created tens of millions of won in an instant without even using any specialization or creation, shrugged his shoulders and spoke to Haryu and Hye-rin.

“If I had known this would happen, I would not have had to take money from Halcyon.”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“But isn’t it true that the more money you have, the better?”

“That’s true.”

“… … !”

They meet each other.

Du-chan shuddered at the sight of them talking to Jin-hyeok as if it were natural, rather than criticizing him in the same situation as before.

‘I must never hold a book.’

It was decided that not only Jinhyeok, but also his colleagues should not be touched.

It was a judgment that rivaled Udyr’s, or rather Udongwan’s.

Du-chan, who had been kneeling until the association staff who had disappeared with the crystal shards returned with a thick wad of cash, received the wad of cash himself and politely handed it to Jin-hyeok.

“This is the calculated price for the 5 crystal sphere fragments. Each one was worth between 10 million and 30 million won. However, since you have entrusted me with the sale, I will give you the total of 30 million won.”

“So the total is 150 million?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

Huge damage.

Not only were they forced to buy what was originally theirs, but they were also forced to pay twice the market price.

Perhaps it wouldn’t be strange if Duchan’s position within the association was shaken a little bit because of this incident.

But Jinhyuk, who threw the wad of cash into the subspace, was calm.

“Usually, when you make a deal this big, don’t you get a bonus?”

“… … !!!”

Du-chan couldn’t help but slap his knee as he squeezed the dried squid to make water.

After the employee who had brought the wad of cash returned and took 15 million won, which was 10% of 150 million won, and Du-chan was robbed again, he was able to talk to Jin-hyeok. * * *

“So, why did you take care of my convenience this much?”

Jinhyeok, who had received everything he was asked and even received the ID card that showed he was an EX-level climber, only then did Duchan ask him why he had given him these things.

Normally, I would have been on guard and asked why before accepting, but that was just the case for a normal person, and Jinhyuk was not a normal person.

Du-chan immediately opened his mouth to say something.

“Meet the Death Star.”

“… … Hmm, this is a bit unexpected.”

Death Star.

When Jinhyuk heard someone say the old nickname that he thought he would never hear again, he felt both surprise and bewilderment.

of course-

“Since you know my name, I guess you know a little about me. You must be confident that I won’t die, so you brought it up, right?”

“… … !”

Tsk tsk tsk-

Du-chan swallowed dryly as he watched the purple blade wrapped around Jin-hyeok’s hand point to his own neck.

A speed you can’t even imagine.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that the series of actions of raising one’s energy, shaping it into the shape of a blade, and then aiming it just below the neck were all one movement.

‘This is hard for me too. No, maybe it’s hard for Nine Star too.’

A quick and accurate threat.

Even under the threat of his life being put on the line, Du-chan quickly chose the words to say in his head.

“… … I remember that time clearly.”

“What are you talking about?”

“You, who were called the Death Star and were feared and revered by all, may have a cruel personality, but you are not the type of person to die after hitting the back of Nine Star’s head.”

“… … I don’t like what you’re saying, but, well, that’s true.”

Even now, Jinhyuk’s personality cannot be considered very good.

But even that can be seen as a reformation, as it brings to mind the past Jinhyeok.

That’s why Jinhyeok couldn’t refute Duchan’s words.

“But how on earth are you still alive? Did you really overcome death and come back to seek revenge?”

“… … Strangely enough, it hits the nail on the head.”

Jinhyuk quickly looked at Duchan with a stern face as he heard his words, which may have been just a passing remark, but surprisingly had a part that cut through the heart of the matter.

‘About 600 floors. It seems like he’s retired from active duty, but he’s good enough to be active right now. I guess I can replace faith with fear. I needed some useful limbs on Earth anyway, so I’m pretty satisfied with this.’

Climbers on the 600th floor.

Head of the association that manages climbers throughout Korea.

A person who knows a little about his past and doesn’t have much antipathy towards it.

Isn’t he the perfect opponent to have as your limbs on Earth?

‘Anyway, I have no intention of hiding the fact that I am Cha Jin-hyeok and the Death Star. The timing is good.’

Now that he had declared war on Nine Star and revealed his identity, it wouldn’t have mattered much even if Du-chan found out about his identity.

In the first place, he obediently revealed his name to Dongwan when he asked for it with that kind of thought.

Jinhyeok, who had finished thinking that far, naturally put his arm around Duchan’s shoulder and said.

“We need a place where we can talk quietly alone.”

It looked like a gangster was grabbing a passerby and robbing them, but neither Jinhyeok nor Duchan paid any attention to that fact.

“Let’s go to the president’s office. It’s the quietest there.”

“Okay, then what’s my… … name?”

“Du-chan. This is Baek Du-chan.”

“Um, okay. I’ll go talk to Du-chan and come back, so you guys go to the guest room and rest.”

At the sound of Jinhyeok calling his name as if he was meeting an old friend, Duchan felt a cold sweat run down his back, but now the dice have been rolled and the water has been spilled.

‘I’ve already been on the tiger’s back. Now all that’s left is to stay alive and hang on to the tiger’s back.’

If he could just get off the back, that would be the best way, but since the other person was the kind of person who would just let him down as a corpse if he got off the back, Du-chan could only smile weakly and take Jin-hyeok to his office.

It was also the first time in my life that the president’s office, which had always been a joy to walk into, felt like a door to hell. * * *

“Are you sure this is the Death Star?”

“okay.”

“… … Is it true that he died?”

“That’s true too.”

“… … Huh, they say the mysteries of the tower are endless no matter how much you solve them… … It’s true. Who would have thought that even the dead would come back to life.”

Du-chan was astonished at how there were still so many things he didn’t know, even though he had risked his life climbing the tower for over ten years.

But that thought was fleeting.

‘… … Wait a minute. Even if I hit it well, it’s been five years since the tower appeared when the Death Star was in full operation… … So you’re saying that almost 12 years ago, I gained abilities that I still don’t know about? What the heck… … .’

His face hardened as he realized the shocking truth.

Jinhyuk had already acquired an unheard of ability five years before the tower appeared, during the time it took for the mountains and rivers to change once and then half of them to change again.

I couldn’t believe it, but it was true.

Otherwise, Jinhyeok, who died, would not be sitting here now.

“What happened to that body?”

“I don’t know. The being that gave me the ability must have prepared it. It wasn’t originally my body.”

“Who gave you this ability?”

“Baal.”

“… … .”

Du-chan barely suppressed his confusion as the name of the god who could almost be considered the best among the countless gods and demons who had created the tower suddenly popped out.

“… … The rumors can’t be true, right?”

“It’s your freedom to believe, but of course not. In reality, it wasn’t me who hit me in the back of the head, it was them who hit me in the back of the head.”

“So you fought Nine Star alone? With all nine of them?”

“Since Kyunghoon wasn’t there, it’s eight.”

“……oh my god.”

Although it was only the 5th year, each of the nine stars at that time was worthy of being called monsters.

However, Doo-chan was surprised by the fact that Jin-hyeok fought alone against the eight of them and left them so wounded that they had to spend two months recovering.

“What do you want from me?”

The more he listened to the story, the more Du-chan couldn’t shake the feeling that he had stepped into a swamp from which he couldn’t escape, but he didn’t forget the reason why he had brought Jin-hyeok here.

The reason why he revealed to himself that he was the Death Star.

Jinhyuk smiled coldly and lowered his posture.

“You said it with your own mouth.”

“… … Ah. Revenge.”

“Yeah. You’re going to have to help me with that. I need someone on Earth to help me out.”

“… … .”

plural.

He was not an ordinary being, and Du-chan could not dare answer when asked to help him take revenge on Nine Star.

They say the milk is already spilled, but the moment you answer here, you’ll have completely determined the course of action.

“Are you worried?”

“… … Yes. I won’t deny it.”

“Why?”

“Nine Stars hold a very important position on Earth.”

“Even if a substitute emerges?”

“Can I be honest with you?”

“say.”

Du-chan took a deep breath, not knowing how Jin-hyeok would perceive what he was going to say.

He blurted out his thoughts.

“To be honest, people these days don’t even know what a Death Star is.”

“… … Tsk.”

“To put it a bit harshly, you could say it’s a knockoff of Nine Star.”

“… … It’s been a long time, so I can understand that part. Is there nothing else?”

“There are forces. I know the Death Star is still strong, but isn’t the support base on Earth and in the Tower different? That’s why I can’t help but hesitate in making a choice.”

“I understand.”

One’s own name value and power.

Jinhyeok, who realized that these two things were the reasons why Duchan was hesitating to make a choice, nodded lightly as if he understood.

“So if I solve them, will you become my servant?”

“that…….”

“Decide carefully. Once you decide, you will never be able to go back.”

“… … .”

Doo-chan was troubled as he watched Jin-hyeok confidently claiming that he could immediately resolve the issues he had raised.

‘If I can really solve them… … then maybe I can grab this rope?’

In a world where only the strong are respected, Jinhyuk’s strength has already been proven.

It was natural that even Nine Star was certain that it would be impossible to fight Jinhyuk one-on-one.

Then, all that’s left is to elevate Jinhyeok’s name to Nine Star and build up Jinhyeok’s power to the level of Nine Star.

‘The name value can be easily created by the Death Star. If you have strength, fame will follow. What’s important is power… … The Death Star was an unprecedented necromancer in the tower, so the power aspect and the combat aspect won’t be that much lacking.’

Jinhyeok’s strength was enough to create a reputation that didn’t exist before, and Duchan thought that at least in terms of combat, Nine Star’s forces would not be pushed back.

Then, the only forces left are those in the non-combat areas.

‘… … I can reinforce that part. Then, we have the answer.’

Du-chan, who decided that he, as the president of the Korean Top Management Association, could fill the non-combat manpower gap that Jin-hyeok was most lacking, opened his mouth.

“I will do it.”

“Good choice.”

He volunteered to be Jinhyeok’s right-hand man.

It had only been a few hours, let alone an hour, since the two had met, but Du-chan, despite being in a high position as the president of the association, chose to go under Jin-hyeok.

But it didn’t take long for it to become clear that his choice was right.

“The Black Knight Donnas Taylor, the Sage Merlin, and the Pope Cain Fallon are dead, so let’s make a plan excluding these three.”

“… … Yes? When did they die? By whom?”

“Who killed him? Of course it was me.”

“… … !”

Firstly, the fact that three of the Nine Stars, who were thought to be unstoppable enemies, have already died.

“There is a guild inside the tower that I personally established, so you don’t have to worry too much about the inside of the tower.”

“The Death Star is a guild. That’s a bit surprising… … Is that okay?”

“Yes, Kyunghoon is also nominally involved, and Goldrich is in charge of providing the funds.”

“… … Goldrich?”

“That’s right, Goldrich from Goldrich Trading Company.”

“… … It’s hard to be surprised anymore.”

Secondly, it is surprising that Jinhyeok, who always moved alone, established a guild, and the fact that one of the Nine Stars, Musin Choi Kyung-hoon, and Goldrich, who is known to control most of the wealth within the tower, are in charge of finances.

Even after hearing this, Duchan thought his choice was quite successful.

‘I saved my life, and now I’m in a position to take the place of Nine Star and act as the number one person. I guess this might be better than the position of Association President.’

Contrary to what I thought, Jinhyeok saved my life, and I thought it was a pretty good position to be the right-hand man of someone so powerful that he could deal with the Nine Star Set.

But his thoughts couldn’t last long.

“Don’t watch Nine Stars to the end.”

“……yes?”

“Behind them are the Four Emperors. And beyond them are the gods and demons.”

“Well… … Wait a minute. Are you saying that you’re not satisfied with just hitting the Four Emperors of the Tower, but are also going after the gods and demons who created the Tower?”

The Four Emperors.

God and the devil.

Just one of them would make my head spin, but targeting them all is a no-no.

Du-chan looked at Jin-hyeok with a face that seemed to have lost its soul, feeling that what he had thought was a success just a moment ago was crumbling down.

“I told you not to fall. You can’t get out once you make up your mind, so make a good decision.”

“… … !!!”

All he could see was Jinhyuk smiling with his white teeth clearly visible.

Jinhyeok also gave Duchan, who had become his right-hand man, a title.

“From now on, you are the Earth’s version of Gold Rich.”

Earth plate gold rich.

In other words, it is a title that means that you will be in charge of all future events and financial management on Earth.
