Absolute Necromancer Chapter 440

Episode 440

Jinhyuk returned to the tower through the nearest entrance and went straight to the 100th floor.

Goldrich.

It was to confront the one who had called him.

Jinhyuk, who had parted ways with Alchemy in front of the Goldrich store on the 100th floor, took his colleagues and headed straight to the top floor where Goldrich’s office was located.

Naturally, there was no hand to stop Jinhyeok.

This was because there was no guard who didn’t know about Jinhyeok through his several visits, and Halcyon, who knew that Goldrich had summoned Jinhyeok, had given a strict warning.

Jinhyuk, who had moved to the top floor without anyone’s permission, was able to see Goldrich waiting for him with a calm expression.

Crack!

“Did you know I was coming?”

“I knew it from the moment I set foot in Goldrich Trading Company. This place was no different from my ‘territory’.”

Crack!

“Tsk, I guess that habit of not letting go of anything you hold in your hand will never be broken, no matter how much you die.”

“I don’t think you’re in a position to talk about others. Even though you died once, your temper hasn’t changed.”

Crack!

“… … Let’s stop the editorial and get to the main point.”

“I’m fine.”

Jinhyuk finally opened his mouth as if he was venting all the anger he had been holding in, watching Goldrich shrug his shoulders and put the documents he had been looking at aside.

“So what’s with that kid? What’s he eating while making noise all this time?”

“Ah, it’s my pet. I was able to obtain one after passing the trials. Its official name is Bulgasal. The name I gave it for ease of calling is Will.”

“hi…….”

Jinhyuk, who had been greeted by a boy with shaggy black hair and black eyes who had been chewing and eating something since he entered the room, was finally able to see what he was holding.

“… … Gold coin? No, is it gold?”

“The rice is gold. Don’t you think you’ve found a good owner?”

“It looks like that.”

The owner of a being that values ​​gold as its stock is the Gold Rich, the one with the most gold in the world.

Jinhyuk clicked his tongue and gestured towards Tam and Miho, thinking that they couldn’t get along any better.

“Take this guy outside and let him play.”

“Is that your younger brother Tom?”

“… … I guess it doesn’t matter if you’re my younger sibling since I showed up later than you.”

“Oww!”

“… … If Tam is your younger sibling, then Miho is also your younger sibling.”

“Hehehe, then let’s go play with your younger sibling!”

“……good.”

Little brother.

To Tam and Miho, who had been trampled by the children they had left behind at the orphanage, Will was a good younger brother.

Quiet, calm, and even cute.

Tom immediately grabbed Will’s sleeve, as he couldn’t have been a more suitable brother.

“There’s something even tastier than this!”

“… … I like this.”

“Blindfold! I told you that picky eating is bad!”

Will stared blankly at the leftover gold as Tom shook his head, his hands on his waist. He then put it all in his mouth in one go.

“Can I go out and come back?”

“… … Well, if you’re with others, there shouldn’t be a problem. Have a good trip.”

“Okay, I’ll be back.”

Jinhyuk watched Will being dragged away by Tam with a quiet yet calm voice, and he brought Haryu and Hye-rin along with him.

“Go play with the kids. Feed them some food too.”

“Yes. Leave it to me.”

“Bill the security fee to Goldrich.”

“… … Tsk, you son of a bitch. How much did I spend on you and you’re charging me for that?”

“They say you have to save to become rich. You, who have a lot of money, understand. I’m a beggar.”

Jinhyuk, who calmly took care of the security costs on Goldrich’s behalf, had a private meeting with Goldrich in the now empty room.

Jinhyuk, who had been playful and joking just a moment ago, disappeared without a trace, and Jinhyuk, with a cold gaze, opened his mouth.

“What is the current status there?”

“It’s not good. I checked right away. The information sources sent to that area are out of contact. The Four Emperors are probably handling it.”

“I guess it wouldn’t be strange if war broke out at any time.”

“Yes. We need to reach the 190th floor as soon as possible and contact Dream City. If we’re not careful, we could end up sandwiched in the middle of a war.”

“Or else you just see the already ruined Dream City.”

“Both of them are not good results, right?”

Dream City, which was reduced to ruins by the Four Emperors and intervened in a situation where the war had already begun.

Both were not good things for Jinhyuk.

War is blind and deaf.

Even if you go there and shout, “Hey, let’s go!”, no one will listen to you.

It was fortunate that they didn’t attack me for no reason.

The latter goes without saying.

“I’ll go right away.”

“That’s right.”

190th floor.

The final destination was the 180th floor, so it was a difficult problem of having to climb 10 floors in a short period of time, but it wasn’t a big problem for Jinhyuk.

No matter how difficult the middle school math problem was, it was no different from an easy problem for this student who entered Seoul National University’s Department of Mathematics as the top student.

Goldrich smiled with satisfaction at Jinhyeok’s answer and explained the situation on the 190th floor.

“The Four Emperors are currently controlling the 190th floor. They will probably react as soon as you step foot there.”

“You’re controlling it? Even the regular climbers?”

“Yes. They say that if you’re a climber who’s not part of their group, it’s tough. Whether you’re a high-rise climber or a low-rise climber, you have to be prepared to run into the Four Emperors if you want to pass the 190th floor, so the 190th floor will be deserted right now.”

“Instead, since it’s so quiet, the Four Emperors will be bustling about.”

“Why, are you scared?”

Jinhyuk met Goldrich’s gaze, who was smiling faintly and making a mischievous joke, and answered with a sly grin.

“That sounds fun.”

“I knew you would do that. From what I understand, the entire Four Emperors take turns guarding the entrance. Most of the time, the Four Emperors from the 300th floor take turns guarding.”

“If there’s a commotion, the higher-ups will come rushing in.”

“There will be dozens of them coming.”

The Four Emperors number in the dozens.

Considering they are in the 300s, it would be safe to say that there are probably dozens of regular climbers in the 400s.

But Jinhyuk didn’t care at all.

“Just that?”

“… … You’re crazy. But I guess that’s your typical answer.”

Just that.

Jinhyuk was incredibly calm as he described the 300-story Four Emperors in the dozens with just one word.

Goldrich, who stuck out his tongue and swore at the sight, glared at Jinhyeok.

“You will gradually receive the price for stealing Alchemy without permission.”

“Thanks to that, I’ve become this strong. Should I count you as a teacher?”

“… … I don’t understand why you benefited, but why it ended up benefiting me.”

“On Earth, we call that ‘Kkanbu.’ And Kkanbu means ‘nothing is yours or mine.’”

“You’ve been whining more since I last saw you. Anyway, I’m done talking, so get out.”

“It’s a bit noisy.”

The playful laughter and jokes continued for a while.

After finishing the conversation, Jinhyuk got up from his seat and revealed his true feelings that he had been keeping hidden.

“I’m glad you came back alive, Susanno.”

“… … That’s what I think every day when I look at you, you f*cking punk. So why don’t you think about your body too?”

“I’m sorry, but I find it hard to value my life when I think of the things that are riding on my shoulders.”

“……shit.”

Goldrich swore softly at Jinhyuk, who was grateful to be back alive, but who was pushing his own life into the abyss of death once again.

But he was very different from the past and the present.

“Just wait. This time, I will fight by your side.”

“… … Don’t expect it.”

Goldrich, who passed the Trial of Greed and became the Demon King of Greed, will certainly be of great help in battle.

In other words, Goldrich had finally earned the right to sit next to Jinhyuk.

Also-

“Others will come. Those who are impressed by the path you have taken. Those who follow the path you have taken. Those who want to stand by your side. All of them will entrust their lives to you in this war.”

“… … That, it makes people feel embarrassed.”

“So don’t think about risking your life alone for no reason. In the past, there was no one by your side, but now there are many people by your side who would gladly entrust their lives to you.”

“……okay.”

It was shaky.

Fighting for someone too.

Someone is fighting for themselves too.

Although I’m somewhat used to the former now, I was even more nervous about the latter because it was my first time experiencing it.

‘Well… … it’s not bad.’

But that wasn’t all bad.

A feeling of tingling in one side of my chest.

That must be the feeling called ‘feel good’.

of course-

“Spread the word that I’m going to conquer the top.”

“There will definitely be checks and balances, right?”

“If you’re going to do it, do it. There’s no more hiding.”

Jinhyeok, who had no intention of leaving everything to her in a state of nervousness, said that with a cold gaze and left the place.

The days of hiding are over.

The Nine Stars had annihilated more than half of the enemy, and the Four Emperors were confident that they could defeat anyone who came.

At least, if he isn’t the monarch of the Four Emperors.

Jinhyuk, who had been living in hiding and revealed his true antagonism towards the Four Emperors, began preparing to run.

The goal is floor 190.

It was where Dream City, the headquarters of the organization that Uriel belonged to, was located. * * *

“Damn it. What the hell is a noble of the tower?”

“Damn it. What the hell is on the 190th floor that you’re even controlling and blocking?”

“Those damn guys. They’re going to be the top.”

Many people were annoyed by the fact that not one, but all four of the Four Emperors were controlling the 190th floor.

Of course, the 190th floor itself wasn’t anything special, so not many climbers flocked there, but the ‘control’ imposed by the Four Emperors was not to their liking.

“If this continues, won’t they just do whatever they want with dozens of floors?”

“That could be the case.”

“Then how are we supposed to climb the tower?”

“Why on earth do God and the Devil allow such things to exist? Isn’t the tower theirs?”

“That’s right. There may be differences in talent, effort, and birth, but this isn’t it!”

Right now, it is only a single control on the 190th floor, but this could soon expand to control tens or hundreds of floors.

The tower is a place of opportunity.

Of course, just as there are differences in talent among ordinary people, everyone has a set limit, and only special people or a small number of people can break that limit.

However, since that was an individual problem, there was nothing that could be done, but on the contrary, in the current situation, since it was a group’s act of violence, the backlash was even stronger.

“… … There’s nothing we can do. With even the big guilds keeping their mouths shut, what can small guilds like ours or climbers without a guild do?”

“Ugh, f*cking world.”

The problem was that the backlash did not explode outward.

The Four Emperors.

The nobles of the tower who tremble at the mere mention of their names.

They never tolerate backlash against them.

So, no matter how annoyed and wronged they were, all they could do was keep their mouths shut and pray that this situation would pass and that something like this would never happen again.

[Resume climbing the Mask Tower!]

[His next goal after visiting his home dimension is the 190th floor?!]

[The Four Emperors are waiting for the mask on the 190th floor. What is the mask thinking?]

It was natural that people would be interested in the new news about Gwimyeon that was heard at that time.

Of course, that interest wasn’t good interest.

“… … What is this?”

“A mask? You’re already challenging the 190th floor?”

“But the 190th floor is currently under control. So what difference does it make if I challenge the 190th floor?”

“That’s right. Does Guimyeon have a connection to the Four Emperors?”

“Ha… … Another rookie is going to be the footstool of the Four Emperors… … .”

This is because most people thought that since the Mask had a connection with the Four Emperors, it would be possible to surpass the 190th floor even under their control.

It was a natural thing.

Because a normal person would never imagine that anyone would do anything that goes against the control of the Four Emperors.

But now they knew.

[Gwimyeon: Control of the Four Emperors? If they can stop me, I will.]

[Gwimyeon said, The Four Emperors are currently on the 190th floor trying to exterminate the races that oppose their will.]

[Gwimyeon. Helping the race targeted by the Four Emperors?]

[Guild, reverse. Advance to the 190th floor!]

“……crazy?”

“Is this real?”

“Isn’t that a malicious article? Are you trying to soak the mask?”

“That sounds plausible, but… … .”

That the mask will never become a footstool for the Four Emperors.

Of course, there were those who did not believe the article itself, but it left a lasting impression on people.

‘Will a mask change this situation?’

Mask.

I wonder if he can change the current situation of the tower being manipulated by the Four Emperors.
