Money-grubbing Necromancer (184)
“What a strange place.”
“huh?”
He spoke to Amteron, who tilted his head.
“It’s the Celestial City. Just by looking at the name, I thought it would be a really nice place.”
Didn’t you say it was a shelter and a place of education?
But now the situation was the exact opposite.
It looks like a bunch of veterans are rushing in and persecuting newbies.
Amteron smiled at those words.
Do you know what kind of heaven this is?
As he held a high position, he had a good understanding of the nature of the celestial city.
Survival of the fittest.
Nothing more, nothing less.
“Persecution? If anyone heard that, they’d misunderstand, my friend. Just think of it as a guide.”
“guide?”
“Think about it carefully. Every time you go to the next area, won’t something like this happen?”
“There must be a lot.”
“Of course. Anyone would be jealous of someone as skilled as you. But if you join our Harmon Guild? You don’t have to worry about that, just work hard to grow. How great is that?”
Then Amteron narrowed his eyes and said.
“We need to change our thinking, my friend. We are always ready to be kind, if you agree.”
Amteron, who said so, glanced at the guild members.
Splash.
Thud.
From werewolves who start to unleash their fists, to trolls swinging their maces and goblins aiming crossbows.
“It doesn’t seem very friendly?”
“Ah. Your eyes are so fierce. I ask. Will you join us, Harmon?”
[Would you like to join the Harmon Guild?]
A message came to mind.
Don’t worry for a moment.
Kim Min-woo said with a smile.
“What rank are you?”
“Are you talking about our guild?”
“uh.”
“It’s second place. It’s definitely not low.”
“Then you must know a lot.”
“Well, not much.”
Amteron answers proudly.
As it turned out, this person was a newbie.
A newbie who needs information.
If you’re in second place, you probably know a lot.
No further words were needed.
I reached out.
Merhen and Cedric appeared. The nearly twenty guild members were surrounded by thousands of undead.
That was the moment.
A pure white energy began to rise above the bodies of the Harmon Guild members.
[Entering combat mode!]
“As expected. You can’t understand with words. Show me the bitter taste!”
Amteron drew his sword and began to charge.
* * *
Amteron was full of confidence.
Cleared on Murderous Difficulty.
It wasn’t that I was ignoring that power.
He must be a guy who can do one thing.
But, looking at it broadly, he was ultimately just a newbie in the celestial city.
One of the biggest adjustments to the murderous difficulty is… … .
‘There will be no repercussions even if we strike first.’
Fighting within the city is strictly forbidden.
Who will strike first?
You had to be prepared to pay a huge penalty.
In severe cases, one could even be denied entry into the Celestial City.
But it was different when the opponent was on a murderous difficulty level.
You can get hit in the back of the head at any time.
Because there was no penalty for doing so.
Not even a penalty… … .
[You are in combat mode!]
[All abilities increase by 50%!]
[Skill range increases by 30%!]
[The item’s ability is… … .]

All sorts of corrections were included as a bonus. That’s why newbies with murderous difficulty levels were like tasty prey.
And, crucially… … .
‘You have to get used to it.’
Does the murderous difficulty only have its drawbacks?
Absolutely not.
It gives a powerful bonus to the enemy.
In other words, the rewards are also much richer. The growth rate is much faster than other difficulties.
If left alone, they never knew when they would overtake them.
That’s why I’m trying to fight.
Because as time goes by, it will become unmanageable. The guild members’ eyes were filled with confidence.
‘A newbie who just came in.’
The entry requirement is level 300.
On the other hand, they were veterans who had honed their skills here.
The average level is over 700.
Summoning thousands of summons was unexpected, but the destruction method still existed.
‘Just catch the summoner!’
“Whoaap!”
Amteron swung his greatsword at the horde of skeletons blocking his way.
A wave of mana surged over the shining sword. His eyes sharpened as he looked at the horde of undead.
Amteron was confident.
The level alone is well over 1,100.
The rank is a whopping diamond.
Not only is he in the top 1% of the talent, but he has also been here for 12 years.
It means that you can take the practitioner test and advance to District 8 whenever you want, which is rotten water.
However, the reason it didn’t go over was because we needed people to manage this 9th district.
Newbie’s gathering place, District 9.
Wasn’t this a region where there was always a flood of talent to recruit?
‘Let me show you the difference in level!’
That he is not a talent who should be confined to District 9.
As he swung his sword, a huge wave of mana rose up.
Its size alone was so large that it could cover hundreds of skeletons.
Daughter!
The skeletons raised their heads in the face of the huge wave of mana and stared blankly.
Even if they are undead with a faint sense of fear, they cannot help but feel fear at this moment.
That was when.
Flutter!
A single skeleton spread its huge dragon wings. A red aura surged over the bone spear.
The skeleton flew up at incredible speed and thrust its spear with all its might.
Flash!
A red aura penetrated and a huge hole was torn through the waves.
‘no?’
The skeleton, which had closed the distance before he could even startle, stabbed him with his spear. Amteron quickly swung his greatsword.
Pervert!
Swords and spears clashed violently.
Amteron’s hands and feet became dizzy from the trajectory of the spear that struck his vital point.
“This f*cking shit… … !”
He was terrified.
It didn’t matter what I added or subtracted.
In the end, it’s just a skeleton.
But, a mere skeleton was pushing itself forward.
That too, with all sorts of buffs!
The bad news didn’t end there.
Harmon’s elite guild members.
They were also unable to keep up. They were being hunted by the hordes of undead rushing in from all directions. In times like these, even the magicians needed to show their strength, but the magicians who could use area-of-effect attacks were equally incompetent.
That was because he was rolling on the floor with blood spewing out of his mouth.
‘Nonsense!’
This is absolutely ridiculous.
How strong is the Necromancer’s summons that the guild members are pushed back?
-Is that all you have to do to be angry with your master?
Amteron’s eyes rolled back at the sight of Cedric laughing coldly.
“It doesn’t seem like you’re just some random summoner. What’s your name, you punk?”
-Cedric.
“Yeah, I remembered it well.”
Immediately afterwards, Amteron’s body, which had been gnashing its teeth, began to glow white.
[Amteron uses ‘Celestial Projection’!]
“Let’s play a little more seriously!”
Boohoo!
Cedric hurriedly raised his spear as the greatsword was swung at an even faster speed.
Bam!
Cedric is instantly slammed into the wall.
Kim Min-woo’s eyes lit up when he saw that sight.
“oh.”
What kind of skill is that?
It was interesting.
* * *
Amteron, the 9th district leader of the Harmon Guild.
I kind of thought there might be something I could do.
That’s understandable, since he’s a guy who walks around the Celestial City with a lot of confidence.
It certainly seemed that way, seeing him suddenly display superhuman strength during a one-sided fight with Cedric.
‘It’s strange.’
Amteron wasn’t the only one whose body began to glow white.
The guild members under his command also began to display superhuman strength, like unsealed monsters.
Even the skeletons that had been moving organically through the heart of the legion were blown away by that power.
‘Well, there’s nothing strange.’
Even if you assist the movement as you think, it will be useless in the face of overwhelming speed and power.
I looked at Merhen.
The wizards of the Harmon Guild were still powerless.
The only difference from before is that before, if you just stretched out your hand, you would vomit blood and fall down.
Now that his body had started to glow white, all he could do was stagger a little and then fall down.
“how is it?”
-Do you feel like you’ve become a little less stupid?
“Oh, is that it?”
Kim Min-woo looked at Merhen with a slightly surprised expression.
By Merchen’s standards, ‘less stupid’ was almost a compliment.
-Yeah. They’ve gotten better at controlling magic than before. Of course, that’s just the way it is.
“Doesn’t that seem like a good skill?”
-I think it would be good if Minwoo got it.
Of course it would be good.
Here’s how to get it… … .
‘He must know.’
Amteron was seen pushing Cedric with all his might.
It’s gotten a lot stronger than before.
‘I guess it’s okay.’
If you put strength into this too, it will be enough.
I approached the guy with my sword drawn.
Amteron, who had been running wild, laughed coldly.
“What are you doing?”
“What are you doing? You’re trying to fight. Then why are you bothering my summons?”
“That crazy guy.”
A necromancer approaches with a sword?
It’s to the point where I’m begging to be killed.
Of course I had no intention of killing him.
Because his abilities were so great that I was tempted. What if I had that kind of ability, a murderous compensation, and even Harmon’s information and help?
There is a lot of potential for it to be active beyond District 9 and even in higher districts.
If you scout and promote talented people like that, you will receive a fair reward.
‘Subjugation comes first.’
Amteron’s new form became blurred. He approached Kim Min-woo from behind and swung his greatsword at his arm.
Even if you cut off an arm, it’s something you can always reattach, right?
That should be enough for true education.
That was when.
Kim Min-woo’s new model has sunk.
With Hayang’s fairy tale.
[Use Shadow Move (SS)… … .]
He used the power attached to the Shadow Sword. No matter how brightly his body glows, shadows exist everywhere.
Kim Min-woo, who rose from behind Amteron’s shadow, stabbed with his sword.
“joy!”
It was when Amteron, who had quickly turned around and blocked it, tried to counterattack.
The new model stumbled.
Before he knew it, a pile of dirt had risen from the ground and was tightly catching his arms and legs. As if that wasn’t enough, Cedric was stabbing him with his spear.
Wood crack!
Amteron, who was holding the limbs with tremendous strength, tore the magic and blocked the spear. His hands and feet were busy like crazy.
As expected from the rotten waters of District 9, Amteron had a lot of combat experience.
pincers?
Of course, I’ve been through it hundreds of times.
however…….
‘what?’
This was the first time in my life that I had seen such an elaborate joint attack.
The wizard holds the body.
Cedric and Kim Min-woo take advantage of that gap.
Up to this point, it was a classic example of joint attack.
The problem was that the overlapping attacks started to overlap.
In just five minutes, his greatsword was in tatters.
That meant one thing.
Kim Min-woo’s close combat skills are overwhelmingly superior to his own!
If not, there is no way he could have manipulated and driven his actions like this.
“What is this… … !”
“Are you in your right mind?”
As he said, my mind suddenly opened.
It didn’t end with just being a powerful necromancer.
‘rather…….’
This guy uses a sword better.
Even the equipment seemed far ahead of his own.
That would be the case, as the damage done by the sword was beyond imagination for someone to be treated as a necromancer.
I looked at the greatsword.
A dangerous sound was coming out, as if it would break at any moment.
Amteron’s eyes shook violently.
What if the weapon breaks here?
There was no chance of winning.
Because I wasn’t an opponent who could fight naked.
‘Even celestial projection won’t work?’
Even though I already received a murderous correction, I received it again?
It was astonishing.
The guild members were also subdued with swords held to their necks.
There was no chance of winning.
Before he knew it, a knife was at his neck.
Green drops of blood flowed down.
“Ugh… … .”
I never thought I’d lose so miserably.
It was a picture I could never have imagined.
“What the heck… … are you… … .”
There was fear in his eyes.
I know I’ve passed a high difficulty level. Of course, I have to be much stronger than my peers.
But this was beyond imagination.
‘Chiljon… … .’
Seven rulers who rule the Celestial City.
They also showed tremendous performance in the past cultivator stage.
I think they said it was different from the cotyledon.
Those seven were monstrous beings that shook the order of the city.
Why is that?
The name of the Seven Heavens comes to mind when I hear this necromancer.
‘lost.’
It was absurd, but that was the result. Now, a newbie who had just arrived in the Celestial City was completely destroyed.
The result would be death.
It was when Amteron closed his eyes as if he had given up on everything.
“Should I save you?”
My thoughts were interrupted by the words I heard.
“… … You’re going to save me?”
“Your speech is a bit short.”
“… … You’re saying you’ll save me… … Right?”
“I have a lot of questions.”
If you’re in a guild that ranks 2nd, you probably know a lot.
They were useful.
Not sure until I hear all the information.
At those words, Amteron’s eyes shook violently.
I was worried for a moment.
dump!
He knelt down.
“If you spare my life, I will be loyal to you.”
Survival of the fittest.
It has long been clear who is weak and who is strong.
[The quest is cleared.]
[Rejected the recruitment and subdued the 9th district leader of the Harmon Guild.]
[Public service points are given as a reward!]
It was a bonus that a message appeared before Kim Min-woo’s eyes.
