Money-grubbing Necromancer (175)
Sword of the heart.
Commonly known as the sword of the mind.
It was a technique that Kim Min-woo could not use even when he flew and crawled as various leading characters.
But now it was different.
[Use the Guidance of Fate (SSS)!]
[I choose Park Si-woo!]
[Current favorability rating 85.]
[A future point in time of ’85’.]
[A level of ’85’ is applied!]
A favorability rating of 85, higher than last time’s 83.
A little further into the future.
A little more skilled.
So, the future Park Si-woo, who was close to a monster, was possessed inside his body.
The result was close to catastrophe.
The moment he swung his sword, Lucas’ right arm was cleanly cut off.
Woof!
Many notaries who looked at it began to show expressions of shock.
Before the duel started, I thought Kim Min-woo was crazy.
It was crazy enough to think that way. Let’s say you’re fighting Lucas.
Then, before starting the duel, why don’t you summon a summoner?
At least prepare something.
He had to do something, but Kim Min-woo did absolutely nothing. It was as if he was giving up his life.
It was one of two things.
I just want to die.
Or maybe you really believe in something.
The results are in.
To the latter.
However, there were so many questionable points.
‘what?’
‘It didn’t move?’
The objective situation was simple.
Lucas worked his magic.
Kim Min-woo stood still.
But the result was the exact opposite.
Ranked 27th in the world wizard rankings.
A high ranker who would easily be in the top 200 based on the combined rankings of all occupations.
In other words, it means that he is an extremely strong master, ranked within the top 200 in the world.
Then Lucas’ arm was cut off.
Even Lucas, the person involved, seemed unaware of what had happened.
“Khuuuk!”
Lucas, drenched in cold sweat, desperately grabbed his bleeding arm. His eyes were filled with fear rather than confusion.
‘what?’
An unknown energy tore his magic in two. If only he hadn’t turned around in a hurry from the eeriness.
‘He would have died.’
Clean in one blow.
And that too with the body cut in half!
gulp.
Lucas swallowed.
Of course, I thought that Kim Min-woo would also have something to believe in.
But this was beyond my imagination.
‘Is this a skill you’ve been saving?’
What about mana consumption?
It wouldn’t matter if I could only use it once. But what if I could use this bizarre skill multiple times?
An alarm went off in Lucas’ head.
Kim Min-woo.
The guy wasn’t just some kid with one hidden claw.
It was an opponent I had to fight against with everything on the line, with life or death at stake.
[Lucas uses the power of the ‘Shadow Apostle’!]
A dark force completely enveloped his body. His breathing became increasingly ragged.
Kim Min-woo’s eyes lit up.
‘That’s the power at that time.’
The power of the Shadow Apostle that Jonas used. The difference was in the concentration.
It’s much more damp and dark.
Lucas’s presence was growing so much that it was engulfing the entire training ground. The audience who saw it also widened their eyes. They knew that the Griff family was dealing with evil powers through the incident that happened at the airport.
Of course, I thought Lucas would be able to handle that kind of power too.
I just hadn’t thought of it.
The power was beyond imagination.

‘The ground… … .’
‘It’s shaking?’
A duel hosted by the system.
They set up a territory and fight within it. In other words, no matter what happens internally, it rarely affects the outside.
But now it was different.
A dark force surges, and the seats shake slightly.
It meant that the energy Lucas possessed was great. If it weren’t for the white area of the duel, they would have been affected by that power as well.
‘To that extent… … .’
‘Among all my professions, I’m in the top 100.’
Those who are quick-witted have done their math. Lucas’s power, surrounded by a dark aura, must be so great that he would be in the top 100 in the entire world.
That’s 100th place.
Can you make an Awakener in the top 200 jump 100 steps in one breath?
And that too in the top tier where there’s a huge gap between each rank?
Even if it is an evil power, most awakened people will bow down and accept it.
‘What kind of power is this?’
Half curious.
And half out of curiosity.
‘If this happens… what will happen?’
Everyone’s attention was focused on the two.
―… … I will treat you properly.
Lucas let out a creepy voice. A black magic like death blazed around him.
“sorry.”
―… … ?
“No matter how I look at it, it doesn’t seem like I’ll lose.”
The moment the words were spoken.
Pervert!
Hundreds of spells bombarded the place where Kim Min-woo was.
Magic filled with hatred and malice.
The entire smokescreen was shaking violently from the huge explosion.
Still, Lucas’ face didn’t relax. Just like the word “taste” in a sword.
The magic was the same.
The moment it hits the opponent’s body, a unique wave is transmitted.
Still.
His senses were as empty as a calm lake, even as he fired hundreds, if not thousands, of spells.
The eight-segmented eyes, like those of a spider, scanned the surroundings.
My senses were sharper than ever, yet I didn’t even feel the bastard’s presence.
It felt so cold that my spine felt damp.
‘Get caught, get caught… … .’
Lucas repeated it endlessly.
Great Hadronox.
Shadow Apostle.
Its appearance resembles a giant spider.
Griff’s core members were empowered by such apostles.
But there are differences in the powers granted.
The power that Jonas received was too pitiful to even compare to himself.
Of course, the way they were used was also completely different.
Jonas simply uses the power he has been granted.
But, he was different.
Knows how to utilize the essence of power.
‘spider.’
He is a ruthless hunter.
He knows how to use traps.
And it’s covert and deadly.
Already, around him, a transparent spiderweb-like energy was scattered in all directions.
Even if you can’t see it with your naked eye, you will definitely find it if you approach it. You will get caught in the spider’s web.
The stickiness of the spider web imbued with the power of the apostle is so strong that even a world-ranked player cannot escape it right away.
It was good, even if only for a little while.
If I can just stop that bastard, I’ll hunt him down in one breath with overwhelming firepower.
-You damn rascal! Don’t hide like a rat, show yourself!
As if in a panic.
Lucas fired his magic around him as if he felt an indescribable fear.
Anything is good.
If I could just make him let his guard down a little, this much acting was nothing.
That was when.
The spider web at the back shook.
Just the weight of one person.
Lucas’ eyes glowed red.
It was clear that the stupid prey had fallen into the trap.
-Haha! Die!
As if nothing could be happier than this.
He turned around and waved his hand, his mouth wide open and screaming.
Just before the magic runs out.
‘… … ?’
Lucas opened his eyes wide.
A shadow of a person hanging in the air.
But, it wasn’t a person.
‘… … Skeleton?’
That was a skeleton.
A chill ran down his spine.
I forgot for a moment.
From the beginning, I forgot that Kim Min-woo was a necromancer, not a prosecutor, because he used such bizarre skills.
What was even worse was that he had carefully placed a single skeleton there, as if he knew where the spider web was.
“I am here.”
Then, a voice whispered in my ear.
Crunch!
Lucas’s neck was cut off.
A fountain of black blood spurted out.
* * *
85’s favorability rating was so great that it was hard to explain in words. I wonder how the energy he uses will flow.
Where to go.
How to utilize it.
It just seemed that way.
I felt it.
That meant one thing.
The future Park Si-woo’s status is overwhelmingly superior to Lucas’s, who uses the power of the apostles.
Because the high-ranking officials tend to easily predict the actions of the lower-ranking officials. The only thing they lack is physical specifications.
This was because the guidance of fate did not exchange even this body.
In other words, the hardware is the same.
‘Software is running wild.’
Of course, this alone was a total rip-off.
The sword transcends the material world.
And, what goes beyond the material world is… … .
It wasn’t just a sword.
[Your body temporarily transcends the boundaries of the material world!]
The favorability rating that grew to 85 made even this kind of feat possible.
For a moment, Kim Min-woo’s body became hazy. He felt as if he was floating in the ocean.
Lucas’ magic was seen filling the training ground.
Yet not a single bullet hit his own body.
A phrase that transcends the material world.
‘Maybe it’s because of that.’
His magic was no longer a threat.
But there was one thing that was different.
A spiderweb-like aura spread around the bastard’s body.
‘I don’t want to get caught doing that.’
It seemed to be Hadronox’s ability.
So even if you use the guidance of fate, you will still feel threatened.
So I threw one skeleton as prey.
Lucas turns around with a face full of joy.
The spider webs around them became blurred.
Instead, the energy gathered in Lucas’ hands became much more intense.
If Merhen had seen this sight, wouldn’t she have called him an idiot?
[Entering the material world!]
Before I knew it, I was nearing the back of Lucas’ neck. I used my sword to cut off his neck. As smoothly as I was cutting a cake, the sword dug into his neck.
-Khaak!
Lucas screamed.
I easily cut off the magic that was being fired randomly around me.
A neck with more than 90% of its length cut off.
The dangling head cried out.
-Uh, why is the recovery… … .
Eight pupils resembling spiders were seen shaking madly.
Lucas’ body trembled.
The power of the apostles is great.
Even if the neck is completely cut off, it will regenerate.
But now it was different.
The healing ability wasn’t working at all.
Kim Min-woo shrugged and answered.
“I exposed your essence.”
―What, what the… … sound… … is that… … Whew!
Lucas fell down with a thud.
A dizzy feeling came over him.
The power of the great apostle was now not working as if it were broken.
Slowly, the strength left his body. He barely managed to raise his head and shouted in fear.
―W, nonsense… … No way… … !
Are you saying you’re going to die here?
To a little brat like this?
It was an ending I never even thought of.
That’s why it was more terrifying.
-Ugh… … !
Eight pupils began to spin madly.
“What are you looking for so diligently?”
―I… … am a body… that… cannot… … die… like this… .
Lucas cried out earnestly with a voice that gradually became smaller. His dilated pupils returned to their human-like shape.
The body that had been writhing like a bug slowly began to stop functioning.
That was when.
Lucas’s eyes, which had been rolling around like crazy, opened wide.
His gaze turned to somewhere in the audience. He saw a middle-aged man with a very ordinary appearance. A man who smiled as if he found it interesting.
There was nothing unusual up to that point.
But, there was one thing that was different.
Fingers moving on the arm as if playing the piano. At first glance, it seemed like an action with no particular meaning.
It was different for Lucas.
It was a gesture that he had seen for a very long time, ever since Hansia was born. It was so familiar to him.
It was a sure thing.
That was the high priest.
―Keuheu… … High Priest… … Sir… … To… … Wa… … .
The man who had been smiling brightly raised his finger.
Easy.
Immediately afterwards, his new form disappeared as if washed away.
‘High Priest?’
Kim Min-woo’s face suddenly turned around.
The position Lucas is looking at.
The stands were empty.
As if it never existed in the first place.
[Opponent is dead!]
[You won the duel!]
[Level increases by 15!]
[The Commander’s Sword absorbs the blood of its prey!]
[The Commander’s Sword is in full bloom!]
[New effects are unlocked!]
[You are in a state where you have blood imbued with special energy!]
[The effect is greatly enhanced!]
The duel ended with a message.
At the same time, a pure white halo began to appear over Hansia’s body.
