Damn Netromancer (124)
Cursed Earth (3)
Minwoo Kim stared at the headless corpse. He already knew something was strange.
Marchen uses mana to give a signal by subtly tapping its body.
In a situation where even an SSS-level archer is standing still, a wizard gives the enemy’s approach signal first?
If you pretend, you pretend.
From then on, I had a rough idea.
I thought the enemy was using magic to get closer.
There was nothing particularly strange about that.
Because invisibility magic actually existed.
‘Usually the level is a bit low… … .’
Invisibility magic was far worse than the assassin’s hiding ability.
At least that was the case on Earth.
However, the dimension here seemed a bit different.
This was the first time Kim Min-woo had encountered such an elaborate invisibility magic.
‘Was it strengthened through black magic? But, that’s okay.’
A warlock is, after all, just one of the wizards.
At least in the field of magic, there weren’t many beings who could beat Marchen.
That was why.
I just let it approach quietly.
From the looks of it, Marchen seemed to want that too.
I knew it.
He appeared out of nowhere, smiled a repentant smile, and tried to unleash black magic at close range.
It seemed like they hadn’t thought about the number of cases where it would be suddenly canceled.
That was the reason why the guy’s head flew into the sky at once.
If you didn’t expect it, you should die.
[We have hunted Mortan, the priest of the Holy Land!]
[500,000 points will be given!]
“Hey. “They give you a lot of points?”
-really?
“uh. “It’s the same as that vampire back then.”
-Hmm… … . Is that tidy?
Marchen said while tilting his head. Seeing that, I was reminded once again how important compatibility is.
If it had been a physical-type monster rather than a magic-type monster, it would not have been so easy to catch it.
‘It’s rewarding to be chosen as the commander of the corps.’
Minwoo Kim looked ahead.
In the distance, I saw a group of warlocks muttering with bewildered eyes.
What was surprising was the group of awakened people following behind them.
To sum up the situation simply, in the blink of an eye, one of my necks went flying off.
What was surprising was that no awakened person was aware of the warlock’s approach.
By the time I realized the situation, the warlock with hands stained black had already approached Minwoo Kim.
What if it was them?
He would have died without even knowing what was going on.
‘S-class? no. It’s much higher than that.’
If they were ordinary S-class players, they would have been able to respond to some extent.
It is an overwhelming power beyond that.
‘however… … You took it down right away?’
gulp.
The awakened people who saw Kim Min-woo swallowed their saliva.
A spell canceled at once.
The warlock widened his eyes in embarrassment. Even the neck flew away in an instant.
Everything felt like a dream.
Only then did the awakened people accept what they had secretly suspected.
15 million points, I guess I deserved it.
Seo Ye-rim narrowed the distance between the noisy awakened people.
“are you okay?”
“As you can see, it’s fine.”
“… … sorry. I should have found it first… … .”
She speaks while biting her lip.
Due to their good visibility, archers in a party are usually responsible for scouting and sniping.
Maybe that’s why I felt like my pride was a little hurt.
“There is nothing to take to heart. “I shouldn’t have found this.”
It wasn’t worth 500,000 points for nothing.
Although their bodies were much weaker than those of vampires, they had quite cumbersome grips.
He probably had a few more special moves besides invisibility.
If it weren’t for Marchen, he would definitely have been in danger.
Anyway.
If the monster sealed underground was considered the final boss, this warlock would be a mid-boss as he was a priest.

That’s probably why the crowd of warlocks was confused.
It was then.
Seo Ye-rim said, frowning slightly.
“There are awakened people there too?”
“Awakened?”
“yes. “Those Chinese kids I saw last time.”
“You weren’t taken prisoner?”
“If he were a prisoner, I don’t think he would be released unharmed like that.”
Hey.
Minwoo Kim was secretly impressed.
There was a lot of talk about that guy, Liu Wei, having a shitty personality.
But do you think they would join hands with a dark magician and stab the Awakened in the back?
Anger filled the faces of the awakened people around her who were listening to her.
“You’re with warlocks? Is that okay too? This can’t be… … .”
“If it’s true, isn’t this complete trash?”
I thought it would be better for a warlock to capture people. But do fellow awakened people stab each other in the back?
If this is true, they are a terrible breed of human beings.
“Let’s catch them all. “You have to give it as a sacrifice, so don’t kill it.”
The group of awakened people nodded.
We have already seen Kim Min-woo’s power.
There was confidence in victory in their eyes.
* * *
Is it because the leader went to the goal from the beginning? The group of warlocks were captured more easily than expected.
The same was true for the Chinese awakeners. The rough struggle was short-lived as a group of angry awakeners rushed towards them, and they were beaten down one by one.
Liu Wei, whose entire body was tied up, cried out as if it was unfair.
“We really had no choice! “They carved something strange into my heart!”
I figured out what was going on.
From the very beginning, when I met the priest, I was immediately overpowered and made into their subordinate.
“So, you captured the awakened person and offered it to the warlocks?”
“Oh, it can’t be helped! “If you don’t obey orders, you could die!”
“Is the stigma still the same?”
“… … yes. We didn’t want to fight either. But I couldn’t resist the orders of those damn bastards.”
Liu Wei huffed and glared at the warlock.
Minwoo Kim chuckled.
“If that priest had killed me, I think he would have jumped right in.”
“Well, is that possible? This is hurting my colleagues who eat together! “I really had no choice.”
“So, are the awakened people you sacrificed still alive?”
“… … I don’t know… … .”
I hit the guy in the face with my fist.
Bloody teeth flew through the air.
“Ugh!”
“Say it without rolling your eyes. “How many people have you caught so far?”
“Well, about ten people… … .”
“So, are you alive?”
“Ha, I heard that they sacrifice five times a day. Other than that, I don’t know anything! really!”
Kim Min-woo and other awakened people were silent.
‘Come to think of it… … .’
When I first came here, there were monsters crying and tentacles sticking out, but on the second day, nothing like that happened.
Couldn’t it be because of the sacrifice that the monster’s anger subsided?
So that means five have already gone.
I had to save at least the remaining five.
From the location of the ‘temple’, the home of the warlocks, to the composition of its troops.
All information was extracted from the mouths of those captured.
Fortunately, the number of warlocks was not that large.
About three hundred at most?
‘There are no more people like Mortan.’
It seemed like it could be wiped out in an instant.
“Let’s move.”
Before long, a group of angry Awakened people completely swept through the temple. Originally, it might have been a bit more difficult as the enemy’s quantity was small.
But it was different now.
No wizard could resist before Marchen.
Even Mortan, the priest, couldn’t handle it, much less ordinary believers.
The warlocks who were casting magic all collapsed to the ground.
Some were killed and some were taken prisoner.
[You have hunted the warlock ‘Edon.’]
[Score 2,000 points… … .]
Approximately 2,000 points per animal.
I gave about 10,000 points to the level of an executive who said he was doing well.
Massacre of nearly a hundred people.
The score was well over 300,000 points.
They moved under the guidance of the captured warlocks.
Deep underground in the temple.
Captured awakened people were also able to face each other.
“f*ck! “That’s disgusting.”
Thompson, the American awakener with a lumpy body, spat.
In the middle of a magic circle that looked like a pentagram, awakened people were lying unconscious. And with nails stuck in the limbs.
“Why did you put something like that?”
“To suppress the movement… … .”
After hearing the answer, Thompson hit the warlock’s head as if venting his anger. He was about to free the captured Awoken, leaving behind a stunned warlock guy.
The warlocks behind them shouted in horror.
“Well, you can’t just release it! “Sacrifice must continue to be offered!”
“… … “Then what should I do?”
“We need a sacrifice to replace the sealing camp. Otherwise, He will be angry and we will all die!”
Thompson flinched.
This was because the attitude of the warlocks was so desperate.
He looked at Kim Min-woo.
“Leader?”
“Did I say that?”
“Is there anyone else you can call captain besides you? Did you hear what those guys said? “They say they need a replacement sacrifice.”
“yes.”
“Who are you going to use?”
Thompson asked.
Chinese awakeners.
It was more like asking what to do with them.
“I said five. “Let’s replace the three of them with two warlocks.”
“Uuuuup!”
Kim Min-woo’s finger pointed straight at the Chinese awakeners.
Two awakened people, including Liu Wei, began to glow.
“Wow, that’s hot.”
Thompson said, whistling.
To be honest, he was secretly hoping for that too.
‘You bastards.’
No matter what the process was, he ultimately betrayed his colleagues who had worked together in the awakening world. Because of those guys, five people have already entered the monster’s stomach.
If you behaved like that in a situation where your life was at stake, of course you should be held accountable.
Things like being labeled or having no choice are all just excuses and bullshit.
‘It was still uncomfortable, but it turned out well.’
Didn’t they say that there is still a stigma in my heart?
I didn’t know what kind of variable it would turn into if I kept it alive for no reason.
Thompson wasn’t the only one who thought that way.
“Everyone, do you agree?”
Nod.
All the awakened people agreed.
‘There is no reason to keep him alive.’
If Kim Min-woo had been hit, this would have turned into something like that.
Liu Wei?
He was famous for his personality, so he must have been giggling while bowing his head at the warlock.
It was just the opposite.
Thompson said as he freed several warlocks.
“I offer it on their behalf.”
“… … .”
Wow!
Ugh!
The Chinese awakened people are dragged to the center of Pentacle Fortress with their bodies all tied up.
Two warlocks were added to balance it.
“Let me begin the sacrificial ritual.”
Boom, boom!
Nails were driven into the limbs, and in return, the previously bound awakened people were released. Heals from the priests rained down along with the potions.
“Uhm… … .”
“Are you okay?”
Those who opened their eyes looked at their bodies.
Soon their eyes filled with tears.
“Thank you! thank you so much!”
I thought I was going to die… … .
Everything really felt like a dream.
They expressed their sincere gratitude.
Soon they looked at the awakened people tied up in the sealing camp.
“Those bastards… … .”
The memory of being captured by those guys and being taken to the temple was still vivid.
Even the hellish things that happened after that.
“Well, it’s time. A sacrifice will be offered today.”
With the warlock’s words, a huge pile of tentacles came out from the hole in the middle of the seal. Soon, the tentacles surrounding the five bodies began to be sucked into the hole in an instant.
Wow!
Ugh!
The sacrifices disappeared from the sealing camp, leaving behind death-like screams.
“What is that…?” … .”
One of the warlocks said, trembling.
“He considers body and soul to be a delicacy. If you give just five a day, you can be guaranteed safety.”
“It’s a real sh*t place.”
Someone said with frowning eyes.
It was exactly as he said.
Minwoo Kim looked at the awakened people.
“I’m not going to fight that monster right now. “There is still not enough relevant information, and we have not put it all together.”
“We should have the remaining awakened people join us as well. So, how much are you going to prepare?”
“I’m thinking of giving it a week, what do you think?”
“Then I guess there will be a lot of time left before the second exam ends… … .”
“You might get extra points that much.”
The goal is to survive for a month by offering sacrifices.
Conversely, what if you beat the boss and clear the period quickly?
I didn’t know that a lot of extra points would be given. All you have to do is sacrifice the warlocks and kill the remaining ones before hunting.
The awakened people nodded in agreement.
* * *
The priest’s room inside the temple.
There were thousands of books gathered there. There were quite a few books written about monsters known to have been sealed underground. Among them, I took out one book that particularly stood out.
Seo Ye-rim, who saw that, tilted her head.
“Book of Truth?”
“I picked it up because it had the most colorful cover. “Let’s read it.”
I opened the book on the desk.
The first chapter has been opened.
The first thing that appeared was a painting.
Suddenly, Marchen’s words came to mind.
‘I said the taste was complex. Like a chimera.’
As she said, the monster’s appearance was… … .
‘It’s a real hybrid.’
It was like looking at grapes.
But it was very large and felt like a grape made of eyeballs.
Even the eyeballs were not of uniform size.
The contents were very diverse, from small to large, as if the eyeballs of all kinds of creatures were mixed together.
“… … “It’s really gross.”
“Do you hate scary things?”
“That’s not scary, I just think it’s creepy.”
I nodded and turned the next page. Someone’s biography was written there.
[1st priest, Camilon]
―For us warlocks who were always persecuted, we discovered a city that was like a dream. I feel energetic. There is definitely something underground here. And that is something that is very beneficial to us.
-A basement rotted and rotten by a curse. Training here was nothing short of amazing. While continuing the search, I encountered the source of the curse.
-We gave the underground creature the name ‘Iprax.’
―Iprax appears to be a parasitic life form. It lives underground like a tree. I tried to move to another place, but realized it was impossible.
―In just 10 years, my colleagues and I have gone one step further! Iprax, which grew while eating food, was of great help. I can never give up on this guy… … .
―… … The city on earth is annoying. If time passes like this, Ifrax’s existence will be noticed. I don’t think we can avoid war…
-40 years! Finally, my long-cherished wish has come true! We have finally created a sacred place where warlocks can live and breathe!
―The possibilities of Eprax are endless. May there be brightness in the future of our warlock!
[5th priest, Irmus]
―As time passes, Iprax’s power becomes stronger. This guy has a proper self. He asked us for the first time. Ask for ‘tasty’ food.
―The guy showed his anger. Now, it seems that the level of satisfaction of a wandering mercenary cannot be given.
-I lost consciousness for a moment. Ifrax seems to have mental abilities. It is a very dangerous power. Set up a sealing camp… … .
.
.
[15th priest, Amarjan]
―It is still only a few deviations, but the number of people praising ‘God’ is increasing. Future priests should keep this in mind. That we never serve God.
[25th priest, Mortan]
―I pay endless attention, but there are times when even I falter. Sometimes I feel scared. Even though there is a sealed group, it has this level of influence. What happens if even the priests praise God?
“Mental abilities?”
Seo Ye-rim tilted her head.
It’s not that there were no monsters with such abilities, but it was because they were extremely rare.
‘This gets tricky.’
Minwoo Kim also narrowed his eyes in the same way. It looks like the sealing group is restricting Iprax’s power.
It was clear that if he could solve this, his abilities would reach their peak. If your mental strength is weak, it will be difficult to fight back.
‘I’ll probably use a curse as well.’
Given the circumstances, it was a monster that seemed to be far above the Duke of Timorne that I saw last time.
Then you have to prepare.
He got up from his seat.
“Yerim, please take charge of the search and training of the awakened people. I will attach the corps commanders. “I have something to do.”
“What are you trying to do… … ?”
“Mental attack, you have to prepare for it.”
It was time to utilize the alchemy of skeletons.
