Money-grubbing Necromancer (176)
return
Isabella sat up abruptly.
There was a look of astonishment in her eyes.
‘What was that just now?’
She had seen the techniques of the mind, such as the Heart Sword, Heart Spear, and Heart Quan, while spending time with the four old men. That was why she understood up until the first Heart Sword that cut off Lucas’ arm.
but…….
‘It completely disappeared in the middle. The body.’
It’s not that I missed it simply because I was moving too fast.
It felt like my body had evaporated, as if it no longer existed in this world.
“Really, that’s amazing.”
The swordsman nearby spoke with shining eyes. Isabella asked in slightly awkward Korean.
“Sir. What is that?”
“The flesh has left the material world.”
“… … How is that possible?”
“I guess you understand.”
It was Kim Min-woo who first taught him the secret of the mind. He must have already had a deep understanding of it.
‘That wasn’t the end… … .’
A state where one can freely escape the material world, not just with weapons but even with one’s body. Kim Min-woo had already reached that state.
“You’re learning another trick.”
I never thought it could be used like that.
It was truly an eye-opener.
Kim Min-woo’s enlightenment was always far ahead of his own.
In the first place, he said that he could not use the Heart Sword… … .
‘It must have been humility. That kid was always like that.’
Suddenly I remembered what I had heard when I first met the guy.
―I instinctively realized that I couldn’t go any further. But I don’t want to judge my limits already. If it were a different area than the sword, then maybe I could.
Even after gaining such enlightenment, I felt limited. So I decided to move on to a different realm, not the sword.
That was the necromancer.
I suddenly became curious.
How far can Kim Min-woo show as a necromancer?
While the elders, including the swordsman, were admiring the swordsman, Isabella was thinking a little differently.
When I had a duel with Kim Min-woo.
At that time, Kim Min-woo did not use any techniques.
Only summoned creatures were used.
That was just a month ago.
It’s not like you couldn’t use the heart check a month ago and now you’re using it.
‘Then, did you really look at me back then… … .’
Isabella’s eyes were deeply sunken. Twenty-five years old.
He is only one year younger than Kim Min-woo.
But the time period I lived as an Awakened One was quite different.
She awakened at the age of ten and lived as an awakened person for 15 years.
What about Kim Min-woo on the other hand?
It’s only been about half a year.
Although he was showing amazing growth, he still thought he was ahead.
Because we won the last match.
Of course, all items were utilized, but the original items were also one of the Awakened’s abilities.
That’s why I secretly thought I was superior…
‘No, it wasn’t.’
In fact, it was quite the opposite.
When I looked at it objectively, I was at a huge disadvantage. And this gap might even widen as time went by.
“The world is truly vast.”
Isabella spoke with burning eyes. The competitive spirit that had been dormant inside her was already boiling over.
That was when.
A gray aura flowed out from Lucas’ body.
The energy that had been lingering like a soul rose up and headed towards Hansia.
As the energy was absorbed into Hansia’s body, the light radiating from her body became increasingly whiter.
Right after.
Flash!
A burst of light came out.
* * *
The duel is over.
Isabella walked slowly through the smokehouse, which was as quiet as a mouse.
She said.
“I’ve learned a lot from them so far. Even through today’s duel.”
“Are you planning to return home?”
She nodded.
“I think I need to practice in the real world, not in theory. There are things I missed in my home country.”

but.
The reason she came to Korea in the first place was because of Ainel’s tablet.
Then, he just took the hostage using techniques like sparring and heart attack.
It’s already been over a month.
Considering that I was planning to return home in half a day, I ended up staying for quite some time.
You must have learned from the four elders.
‘It’s about time to go back.’
Wasn’t he one of the busiest awakeners in the world? If it weren’t for his heart, he wouldn’t have stayed even for a day.
“It was a valuable time. I will definitely repay the favor. And… … .”
Isabella said with gleaming eyes.
“For the next sparring match, I hope you don’t overlook it and just do it.”
“uh…….”
I didn’t see it from the beginning.
It seemed that I had a strange misunderstanding because of the guidance of fate.
Kim Min-woo, who had been pondering for a moment, smiled brightly.
“Well, if you have the skills to do so.”
Wouldn’t it be a strange picture to take your foot off the gas here?
‘It’ll work out somehow.’
I can leave tomorrow’s work to tomorrow’s me. Isabella nodded and looked back.
As expected of the main character of today’s duel, a large crowd of people was already gathering around him.
“You must be busy. I guess I’ll be going now.”
Isabella was the first to go out.
A large number of reporters who had been waiting poured out questions into microphones.
“Lady Isabella! How did the duel go?”
“Kim Min-woo won. Overwhelmingly.”
Woof!
The surroundings became very noisy.
“Are you saying that we won… overwhelmingly?”
“That’s what it looked like to me. Well, I have to go back home, so that’s it.”
“Huh? Are you returning home?”
“Shouldn’t I train to catch up with that guy, Kim Min-woo?”
… …Catch up?
The words were a bit strange.
Isn’t that what a latecomer usually says when looking at a starting runner?
That was when.
Isabella spoke as she looked around.
“Isn’t it about time for the Fabs Rankings? I think a new world ranker will emerge this time. And at a fairly high rank.”
Fabs.
Their magazine was very famous as a company that selected the ranking of awakened people every June. The individual job rankings were famous, but the integrated ranking of all jobs was the most splendid flower. Isabella’s remarks in particular had some unusual content mixed in.
World ranker.
Top 200 in the integrated occupation ranking.
In other words, it was a title given to the 200 strongest Awakened people in the world.
Although it is said that the ranking only counts active players, as retirees are included in the Hall of Fame.
Considering that the Awakened population exceeds 1 billion, it would not be an exaggeration to say that he is the ultimate in strength.
I could understand up to that point.
Even Lucas was a world-ranked player ranked within the top 200.
Didn’t you beat that Lucas?
Kim Min-woo will also have a high probability of being ranked among the world’s top players.
However, the words ‘high ranking’ needed to be taken to heart.
It was Isabella, ranked 9th in the world, who said these words.
Her words were credible, as she had made it into the top 10 at just 20 years old.
And that too in abundance.
“Is that all you mean?”
“How on earth did you fight… … .”
Anyway, one thing became clear through this conversation.
At least Isabella has very high regard for Kim Min-woo.
* * *
Victory in a duel.
It was news that shook not only Korea but the entire world.
Lucas was already considered a world-class ranker, and to make matters worse, Lucas was fighting Kim Min-woo while using evil powers.
This fact was testified to by audiences from numerous countries.
But he won it.
And he’s a rookie who hasn’t even been awake for half a year.
It was news that could not help but shake the world.
Even this was beyond manipulation. It was because of a video that came out on Newtube.
A video showing Lucas and Kim Min-woo moving through a completely white area. It was a clean video without any tricks or manipulation.
―So it’s true that you actually fought and won;; What kind of growth is that? You defeated a world-ranked player in just half a year after awakening?
―There was no room for manipulation in the first place. How many observers were there? ㅋㅋ Countries participated equally.
―Really lol. Have you seen the Grief kids? They’re coming back home dead.
―What are they going to do? ㅋㅋ They’re already f*cked. Lucas isn’t here anymore, so how are they going to stop their attacks?
– So, do you think Kim Min-woo will be selected as a world ranker this time?
―Absolutely. Haha. From the moment I caught Lucas, it was natural that the rankings would be arranged. What rank is most important.
-Who was the current #1 in the Neck Rankings? Hamoln? It was probably him.
―Yeah. Level 1,132. American Awakened. High level, SS-class. But still a bit weak. In the integrated ranking, it’s in 1,000 out lol.
―In the first place, the non-mainstream number one is not even considered number one. Kim Min-woo is different though.
-So I asked twice what rank he was in.
―If you look at the selection criteria, there are so many things like recognition, level, gate clearing performance, growth potential, potential, equipment, skills, etc. ㅋㅋ So no one knows what rank they will be in ㅋㅋ
– Is it really possible to become a ranker? You were already out of the rankings. From Fabus’ perspective, it was something he had heard of.
―I heard you guys are primitive people. I haven’t heard a single word about Kim Min-woo.
– First of all, aren’t the leveling and gate clearing achievements almost always a dud?
―6 months, what are you waiting for? lol Anyway, one thing is for sure… … Fabs, those guys are probably going crazy. This is probably the first time this has happened.
Kim Min-woo, who was looking at the comments, turned off his phone.
‘It’s a world ranking.’
First of all, it was confirmed that he would be ranked first in the Necromancer rankings. In fact, this was because there was hardly any Awakener in the Necromancer profession who was doing as well as he was.
It’s a natural result since Lucas was also beaten there.
‘The problem is the integrated ranking.’
Honestly, I never thought I would make it into the world rankings this year.
To begin with, it’s not easy to be in the top 200.
I was thinking that if you do really well, you’ll be included in the rankings of necromancers.
‘Things worked out well.’
Thanks to the guidance of fate, things went smoothly. However, obstacles remained.
Not only is the level extremely low, but the hidden gate is excluded from the gate clear achievement, so the contribution score is not high compared to other rankers.
‘Decisively not in the current rankings.’
Entering the top 200, the so-called world rankers, all at once?
It’s very, very tricky.
Even in the case of Isabella, she was ranked in the top 1,000 in her third year of awakening, but as the year passed, she slowly rose vertically to the 900th and 800th places.
It was all an incident that happened thanks to the guidance of fate.
If it weren’t for this skill, I wouldn’t have been able to catch Lucas now, and it would have been difficult to receive Isabella’s fancy lip service.
Misconceptions and misunderstandings.
Anyway, thanks to that… … .
“If I do well, I’ll be able to enter the top 200 right away.”
-Kuku.
Whitey, who was sitting on my shoulder, nodded her head as if she was excited.
anyway.
Well, Fabs will come to check it out anyway, so we can just talk about it then.
I looked at the results I got this time.
First, the commander’s sword.
No, now the name has changed to ‘Sword of Shadow’.
[Shadow Sword]
[Rank: Ancient]
〈Rune of Cutting II〉, 〈Rune of Absorption II〉, 〈Rune of Disposition II〉
[The sword has grown further by absorbing the power of the Shadow Apostle. Now it can utilize the power of the shadows.]
[Usage Restrictions: Kim Min-woo]
[Effect 1. When wounding an enemy, a significant portion of their health and mana is absorbed.]
[Effect 2. Shadow Confinement (SS) can be used.]
[Effect 3. Shadow Movement (SS) can be used.]
[Effect 4. Requires the power of shadows for growth. (??/??)]
The existing commander’s sword could absorb the blood of a strong enemy.
However, this feature was limited for a while, and the reason was simple.
‘It was because of the blood prison.’
When I hunted the dragons at Oak Gate, the blood jade sucked my blood first.
So there was no blood left for the commander’s sword.
The real witch couldn’t suck Merhen’s flesh because she was left without a single bit of it.
Iris is… … .
‘Because he’s working underground right now.’
It seems there was no food to give to the commander’s sword.
But this time Lucas was different.
It was the Commander’s Sword, not the Blood Jade, that sucked blood and grew in return.
From Legend+ grade to Ancient grade.
That ability was very salty.
Changed from absorbing ‘some’ stamina and mana to absorbing ‘a significant portion’ of it.
Shadow-related skills were created.
Shadow Imprisonment was a suppression skill that rendered an enemy unable to move by stabbing their shadow.
Shadow Movement is a skill that literally allows you to move through shadows. The downside is that it costs a lot of mana to use it once.
‘Because the effect is good.’
Even the possibility of growth was still the same. It was just that the condition changed from requiring the blood of a strong enemy to requiring the ‘power of the shadow’.
It literally seemed like something you could get by hunting shadow guys.
I guess I’ll just have to go around killing all the guys who are using their black power.
That wasn’t all I got.
Main villain Lucas.
Did you get Hansia’s talent back there too?
I even received a reward related to my achievement points.
If there is a singularity… … .
● I hunted the ‘priest’ of Hardronox!
● The fate of one of the main characters, ‘Han Sia’, begins to change drastically!
● All related rewards are combined into one special reward!
● As a special reward, you will be given a job change ticket!
Instead of points, they just gave me a job change ticket.
The price of the job change ticket I bought at a 99% discount last time was 230 points.
That means the original price is 23,000 points.
There was no way I would give 23,000 points just for catching Lucas and twisting Hancia’s fate.
That’s right.
‘You must have intervened. Just like last time.’
Hansia’s occupation is a magician.
But talent is closer to a priest.
I thought this was going to be fixed somehow, and it really was.
And unlike the last 99% discount, they’re just handing it over.
Fortunately, there was nothing like last time that required it to be used within a minute, so it was stored for now.
‘I should hand it over slowly.’
To make a priest.
