Money-grubbing Necromancer (151)
The three heads diligently chanted the spell. Black mana rose above her hands. As expected from the crow school that sees ominous signs, her magic was related to fate. To be precise, it was related to twisting fate for the worse.
[Lerue uses Ominous Explosion (SS)!]
[Leruega’s Nightmare of the Crow (SS)… … .]
What if I get hit?
Twist fate and bring about ill omen.
Twisted fates overlap.
No matter how high the magical rank of that banshee, this unique magic was not something that could be easily neutralized just by talent.
Iris also knew the danger. What if she were to be hit by such magic?
Suddenly, horrible, malignant tumors may sprout all over your body.
An unavoidable bolt of lightning may fall from the sky.
You might turn into a lowly beast. That’s what it means to twist fate. It’s a magic where neither the caster nor the target knows the result.
That’s why I couldn’t help but be more afraid.
Not knowing means you can’t predict how big the ramifications will be.
That’s why the Crow School is scary.
however…….
-Is it still the same?
The banshee took the spell casually, as if she knew how to respond.
Lerouye frowned.
Even if it were another Archwitch, if it were her first time encountering the magic of the Crow School, it would certainly take her time, even if it was just for a moment, to analyze and deconstruct it.
But that banshee didn’t have anything like that.
‘know?’
‘The magic of our crow?’
‘how?’
Have you seen it somewhere?
Otherwise it would have been impossible.
I tried casting a few more spells just to test it out, but the result was the same.
-What? Nothing has changed at all.
“where.”
“how.”
“You know our magic?”
-I’m Merhen.
“… … ?”
The three heads tilted their heads at the unexpected remark. Iris also frowned.
When I asked how he knew, he suddenly answered with my name.
It was a four-dimensional answer, beyond three dimensions.
-Huh? You don’t know me? I thought you knew.
“Are you sick?”
“Seeds of interest?”
“Excessive self-consciousness?”
The three heads answered diligently.
I just cast a normal spell.
The magic of the Crow School doesn’t work at all. So I had no choice but to throw all my normal magic at it.
However, there was a problem.
When I cast ten, five of them suddenly broke in the middle.
‘That’s ridiculous.’
‘Even though I took the elixir, it’s still like this.’
‘How big is the difference in level?’
Canceling a spell is several times more difficult than casting it.
What’s more, Luluye’s casting speed has increased several times after taking the elixir.
But that means half of it is cut off.
The story was that if you don’t take your medicine, you won’t be able to compete in the first place.
Wasn’t it an absurd situation where the magic was canceled even though the power was inflated more than five times?
Still, she was definitely a talented witch, considering she cast half of the spells.
-Wow, this is a really amazing medicine.
Merhen also seemed to be enjoying herself and was using magic to counter Lerue’s magic.
Little by little.
Lerouye was pushed back.
―It’s fun when we do this with each other. It’s like a puzzle game. Right?
Iris, the apprentice witch, was not one to sit still either.
She used magic, summoned a servant horse to attack, and swung a whip. She was doing the best she could.
Despite all the sabotage, the banshee was still flying around and fighting the real witch.
Even though she is an apprentice, she is also a witch.
Because I was born with a talent for magic.
I was feeling firsthand how absurd the sight before my eyes was.
That was when.
-what?
The banshee tilted its head.

Then he snapped his fingers.
That was the moment.
Lerouye and Iris’s bodies stopped.
The basic action of breathing in and out.
As if I were a vegetable who couldn’t do anything else.
“What is it… … .”
“how…….”
“Something like this… … .”
The drug that had accelerated my body and brain no longer worked.
No, rather, his hair became increasingly gray.
The three heads barely managed to spit out sentences. Iris, whose level was much lower than theirs, simply rolled her eyes.
It felt like every single cell in my body was going out of control.
Merhen landed on the floor and jumped up and down like an excited child.
-Interesting!
“What did you do… … .”
“Mana… … .”
“My control… … .”
– My powers are back! Just a little bit! How is it? Amazing, right?
“warrant…….”
“Ira… … .”
“go……?”
-Yeah. It’s annoying to deal with them all individually. That’s why I made this. This way, the fools who rely on magic will be dealt with automatically.
“uh…….”
“How… … .”
“crab…….”
-Why don’t you know? I’ve caught so many witches with this.
Catch the witch?
Lerouye rolled his eyes.
I have never heard or seen such a story. If the witches were swept away by such a strange undead, it would be impossible not to know.
―What was the name of the great witch who came back alive back then…? Was it Ananke? I think she used the same magic as you. Or not?
“Oh… … witch… … lady… … of… … .”
“name…….”
“You… … why… … .”
-Because we’ve met. Didn’t that shady fool tell you about me?
Suddenly, an idea came to Lerouye’s mind. A story of a time of upheaval in which witches were killed by the undead.
I thought it was just one of hundreds of groundless rumors floating around among witches, and I erased it from my memory.
‘no way.’
‘that is…….’
‘It was all true?’
At that moment, Merhen asked with a sharp face.
-Then you don’t know that Death Lord either?
Unfortunately, Lerouye did not respond any further.
No, I couldn’t answer.
Because my tongue had already hardened like a stone. Because my breath was suddenly caught in my throat.
Lerue’s brain, deprived of oxygen, slowly shrank.
The crow’s omen was not wrong.
This was truly a disaster.
Death is approaching.
‘like this…….’
‘I can’t die… … .’
‘I have to do something… … .’
The last moments of life.
Thump!
Her last will, mixed with desperation, exploded.
That earnestness took her magical abilities to the next level.
Long ago, an ancient spell learned in the school was cast.
[Equivalent Exchange (SSS) is cast!]
Phew!
Lerouye’s heart was shattered.
[Your heart is placed on the right scale!]
[Think about the price you want.]
-What a strange magic? I’ve never seen anything like it before.
Merhen looked at Lerouye as if she found it interesting.
It was magic that even she had never seen before.
But the magic was being analyzed in detail by the highly elevated rank.
A spell that attempts to exchange weights for something unknown.
‘Exchange cannot be stopped.’
I wonder if it’s because the level has completely returned.
That was the case when only some returned.
Instead, it was quite possible to touch the equivalent weight.
He ‘manipulated’ the intangible price to rise on the opposite side of the raised heart.
Lerouye was terrified when he saw that.
I can’t believe you’re interfering with ancient spells.
She made her first wish in a hurry.
In return, he wished for the death of the master who controlled the banshee.
[The scales are not fair!]
Lerouye was in despair.
Suddenly, the balance was disturbed by the intangible price placed on the other side.
Even the intangible price was growing in size.
Than the side where the heart rises.
The other side was becoming infinitely heavier. An intense fear was eating away at my heart. If this continued, I wouldn’t be able to do anything.
This time, the body, headless, was blown away, leaving not a single trace of flesh behind.
[The scales are not fair… … .]
If even this isn’t enough.
Lerouye, with only his head left, made his last wish.
As the lightest of wishes.
So that even the Banshee’s manipulation can leave something behind.
[The scales are fair!]
[Memories are engraved somewhere in the dimension!]
The despair and fear of this moment.
I wish I could carve it deep in the dimension. So that when the other witches come looking for it, they can see it. So that even that damned banshee can’t find it.
[Equivalents are exchanged!]
Lerouye disappeared without even leaving his head behind.
The official witch’s end was terribly shabby.
Immediately afterwards, Merhen and Iris’s eyes met.
* * *
Jackie Chan and Bingryong.
Against the two dragons, Cedric was carrying hard.
The art of transcending space was truly a work of art.
Looking at that, I wondered why they didn’t use something like that the first time.
‘I get the gist.’
Looking at it, it was a technique that really cost a lot of mana. When it was arranged, there were a lot of enemies, and since there was also a mutakta, it seemed like it was conserving its strength.
Whereas now?
The baby dragon is practically no match for him, and the only ones he has to be careful of are Jackie Chan and Bingryong.
Even Cedric’s power did not end there.
He is a knight in name only.
It’s a job where you can unleash your power just by riding a dragon.
The baby dragon was resurrected as an undead?
This too was a dragon in the end.
He was flying around on one and stabbing the bodies of the two dragons.
There were also allies to assist Cedric. A group of Dullahans riding undead dragons stabbed at him from all sides.
Mages wielding dragon blood tools are annoying you by casting spells.
The dragon’s point was the key.
Two undead hatchlings flew into the sky, holding onto Dolsoe’s arms with their feet. Dolsoe’s massive body fell like a missile dropped from a bomber.
[Dolsoe uses Taunt (A) on Kamar… … .]
[Ice Dragon ‘Kamar’ is provoked… … .]
Instead of Jackie Chan, Dolsoe’s body turned bright red as he aimed for Bingryong, who was more likely to be provoked.
[Use Blood Blast!]
Phew!
The suicide bomber exploded.
No matter how strong the dragon’s outer shell was, it was not enough to withstand damage three times the golem’s maximum health without taking damage. Bingryong, who was already cursed and had low health, could no longer endure it as he was being brutally attacked by Cedric.
Ice Dragon falling helplessly.
Like a swarm of ants flocking to candy, the undead on the ground rushed towards Bingryong as if they had been waiting for it.
The weakened dragon could not withstand the attack.
[Bingryong ‘Kamar’ may he rest in eternal peace… … .]
[Some of the gate clear conditions have been achieved! (1/4)]
[‘Witch Iris’, ‘Witch Lerouye’, ‘Jackie Chan Evellion’ are left… … .]
[Level… … .]
A pleasant level up message.
The gate clear conditions were revealed as a bonus.
Following the capture of the existing witch and Bingryong.
‘It’s a structure where we have to catch the additional guys.’
Jackie Chan Evellion.
The only remaining dragon was resisting fiercely.
A solid shell worthy of a Jackal-level entity. Dozens of powerful magic spells. Breath and vicious physical abilities.
The undead dragon fell from the breath, and the Dullahan riding on top melted. Every time the sharp dragon’s claws brushed against it, even the iron bolt split apart without being able to self-destruct.
Ibellion’s tail barely brushed against the whelp Cedric was riding.
Cedric attempts aerobatic flying as if they were one body.
The pouring magic shattered with each swing of the spear.
pop!
Another hole was ripped through Ibellion’s body with a ripping sound.
Evellion screamed.
Breath, magic.
A hard outer shell too.
A strong force too.
It meant nothing to that little skeleton.
I just couldn’t understand how this was possible.
That was pure skill.
It was also an overwhelming skill.
-This is ridiculous… This is ridiculous!
There are holes all over my body.
Ibelion, sensing defeat, spoke in a trembling voice.
Whatever.
Kim Min-woo leisurely looked at the scene.
‘That must be because they are natural enemies.’
Merhen eats wizards.
It was a story that was not simply limited to levels.
No matter how big the difference, she was the one who ran wild against her natural enemy. You could tell that just by looking at the last preliminary round.
Mortan, the warlock who was the mid-boss.
He rushed in, had his magic canceled, and went to the underworld with one swing of his sword. However, his score was similar to that of the Vampire Duke. This means that he was close to 1,000 in terms of level.
What about the witch?
Level 1,500 or so.
In fact, it was the rice that went with the vegetables.
So, it is possible for Merhen to fight the two witches alone.
Cedric was also applying the formula without a doubt.
To begin with, the guy’s title itself is structured to give the dragon a sense of intimidation.
It means the dragon’s natural enemy.
‘Of course, it would have been difficult if the indomitable spirit had not burst.’
Strengthening the legion commander.
The skills that make up the foundation jumped from SS to SSS. The difference cannot be evaluated simply by the letter S.
‘Even if they are of the same grade, the level is different.’
Are all S-class Awakened users of the same level?
no.
Even though they are both S-class Awakened, some Awakened can beat ten Awakened people of the same class. That was the difference in talent and skill.
The same was true for Merhen and Cedric. Seo Ye-rim and Park Si-woo were also SSS-class, but the two commanders and guild members had lived very different lives.
Experience, presence, and talent.
The highest level among SSS-class.
The two legion commanders were at least at that level. That was the reason why one summoner was tearing apart a high-level monster that was described as a disaster.
[‘Witch Lerouye’ to eternal rest… … .]
[Some of the gate clear conditions… … .]
Just like right now.
at that time.
Merhen has arrived.
And he was accompanied by a companion.
-Minwoo, I’m here. But what’s Cedric doing? He’s not finished.
“It’ll be over soon. But what about this guy?”
―I brought you here because I was curious about the witches’ coven. I originally planned to bring you a three-headed one, but it died on its own after using magic. Sorry.
“It turned out well. Good job.”
I stroked Merhen’s head.
In the first place, keeping the boss alive wasn’t part of the plan.
Even if I were to burst with indomitable spirit, I knew how to defeat the bosses with some difficulty, but I never imagined that I would be able to hunt them this easily.
A situation where there is so much free time that it is dumbfounding.
If I had known it would be this easy, I would have given the order a long time ago to leave one boss alive.
‘That way, the gate won’t be cleared.’
Most gates were structured so that you would either be ejected immediately after clearing the boss, or you would be forcibly ejected after a certain amount of time.
What if I get kicked out like that?
This is a hidden gate, so re-entry will be impossible.
‘Then it’s a shame.’
There was still a lot to be gleaned here.
East, west, south, north, and even the center.
A total of five fortresses.
Now that we’ve destroyed the north, there are four fortresses left, and we need to feed the Winter Shards to Hayang there.
Is that all?
‘All the monsters there are free experience points… … .’
Elf alchemy.
Even the dwarf’s crafting recipe.
They were all educated here.
Isn’t there another technique?
All I needed was time to explore this place.
I looked at the witch Iris.
Her eyes, which followed Merhen obediently, were engraved with fear like a brand.
I don’t think that will cause any problems.
‘First of all, we have to keep him alive.’
Rather, if you were going to keep them alive, it would be best to keep a boss like that alive.
Wouldn’t someone like Jackie Chan or a proper witch have their own way of doing things?
If we had kept it alive for no reason, a variable could have been created.
In that sense, Merhen was brought to life just right.
[Jackie Chan ‘Evelion’ rests in eternal peace… ]
A message came to mind.
‘The level has gone up a lot.’
It was 293 before.
After hunting everything, my level had jumped to 330.
Considering that it had not even been a week since they entered the gate, it was just an unbelievable speed.
even.
‘I haven’t eaten the item yet.’
The official witch and Jackie Chan.
There’s even an ice dragon there.
There were still loot to be gained from the bosses.
