Money-grubbing Necromancer (191)
Giggle.
Cedric wiggled his fingers like a rusty machine.
‘It’s a mental attack.’
It was a kind of power rather than magic. And it was a power engraved on the succubus race.
-Forget it.
Memories become hazy as voices ring endlessly in my ears. Like a taut string about to snap.
Cedric’s soul was barely holding on to its fascination.
A strong mind resides in a strong body.
There was a reason for this saying. There were only two ways to endure it.
Either your body can keep up with the high level, or your mental power itself is just very high.
Cedric’s level wasn’t that high because he followed his master, Kim Min-woo.
But the mentality was different.
He had been through time repeating itself endlessly for a very long time. Whether he wanted it or not, his mental strength had been greatly strengthened through that time.
Still, holding on was the best I could do.
If he wasn’t undead.
Also, if it had not been preserved for ages that were close to immortality.
I would have ended up in the same situation as the lizard Amteron, who is sitting next to me right now, with his mouth open and drooling.
Perhaps the memory of this moment had turned as white as a blank sheet of paper.
Merhen, a commander like herself, was also as hard as a stone and did her best to resist the charm.
‘… … By the way, that’s surprising.’
The owner, Kim Min-woo, appeared.
Unlike them, who could only wiggle their fingers, his body was moving slowly.
Soon he was the first to approach the release and stab it with his sword.
‘How do you have such mental strength?’
Frankly, Cedric was skeptical.
It was the same when he first saved himself from the arrangement. In a situation where everyone froze at Mutakta’s shouts, he was the only one who took a step forward.
However, that doesn’t mean I’ve lived a life that would be mentally strong. What more can I say when they call me a loser?
Anyway.
Thanks to the master distracting the succubus’s gaze, it became much easier to move her body.
I could satisfy my curiosity later. For now, the battle was the priority.
[Merhen uses ‘Rampage’!]
[Cedric uses ‘manifestation’!]
Dragon wings soared behind the two legion commanders.
[Merchen Cyclone (SS)… … .]
[Merhen sends a lightning bolt (SS)… … .]
[Cedric uses ‘Dragon’s Blood Slash’… ]
Seven Zone Release.
Skills poured out towards her.
“Haha! Your summons are quite unique too! They’re really interesting!”
Lilith’s eyes sparkled as if she had discovered a beautiful jewel.

Empress of Enchantment Release.
Her strength was the lowest among the Seven. But that didn’t mean she couldn’t fight.
If I had relied solely on charm from the beginning, I would have been evaluated as being far below the Seven Lords, let alone the Seven Sages.
The reason she is called Chiljon.
Among them, vicious physical abilities were also the basis.
Ten sharp claws tore at the area. A suffocating pink aura engulfed the surroundings.
[Enter the realm of fascination!]
[Inhale the dreamy scent!]
[I’m going crazy!]
[Greatly increases the chance of seeing hallucinations!]
A body based on strength and flexibility easily deflects Cedric’s spear. It easily dodges and tears away Merhen’s auxiliary magic.
‘You’re so damn picky.’
Even when trying to attack with a stack, he was able to dodge it first thanks to his overwhelming physical ability. The self-destruct of the stone hammer was also of little use. Even though it exploded periodically, it didn’t seem to cause much damage to Lilith.
That must mean he has a lot of stamina.
‘I’m sure there would have been a huge penalty.’
I came from District 1 to District 9.
I heard that even going from zone 8 to zone 9 would incur a significant penalty, so there was no need to mention that.
He must have been suffering from a huge penalty, but his fighting ability was still at that level.
‘What level is it?’
One thing is for sure, it looks dirty tall.
Her fighting sense was also top-notch. It seemed like she was several levels above Isabella.
The most tricky thing was the pink mist that was rising from the body.
Even though I held my breath, the dreamy scent continued to be absorbed into my body. It seemed like it was being absorbed through my pores.
Should we use nuclear bombs or not?
Considering the difference in strength, it was right to use it. Chiljon was much stronger than he expected.
‘Yes, sir.’

It is a place where all races from all dimensions gather, and among them, the seven strongest ones are of course the most powerful.
However, the reason it wasn’t used right away was because there was no life in Lilith’s eyes. It was like that from the beginning when he secretly watched.
If I had that much power, it would have shown itself the moment I thought about dealing with it.
If not, the release likely had another purpose.
Sparkling eyes.
Kim Min-woo has seen those eyes countless times.
It was a look filled with desire.
Unless you’re the type that would rather destroy something if you can’t have it, you probably won’t try to kill me right away.
Then, is there no need to use nuclear bombs?
That’s why.
Just keep fighting.
You could also consider this a kind of interview.
‘If I can cooperate with Chiljon… … it’s not bad.’
This was especially true when he was at odds with the Blood Wolf.
As Kim Min-woo was analyzing the release, so was the release.
‘Really, that’s great.’
A resident of District 9 was able to withstand dozens of her attacks. Considering the level difference, this was ridiculous. Her level was over 10,000.
The special nature of being a celestial city.
This was possible because he was a resident who had lived there for hundreds of years and had the skills to enter the Seven Zones.
Is that all?
The quality of the equipment is also very poor.
If it were a normal necromancer, he would have been defeated without even being able to handle such a unique summon.
Because in the first place, they are not a job group that is good at close combat.
But it holds on.
It feeds attacks one after another.
“Really, that’s great.”
“Shit.”
“I’m serious. Even if I get penalized, there’s no rookie who can take my attacks this much.”
This isn’t even at the raw level.
It was a jewel that shone brightly.
Even if the Blood Wolf comes, it will be difficult to subdue it all at once. It will probably take some force to deal with it.
If it had originally been half curiosity and half anticipation, it was different now. An intense desire was surging in her eyes.
‘Want.’
No, you have to have it.
Because she wasn’t the type of fool to just pass by a jewel after seeing it.
The harvest was beyond expectations.
It was worth it to get down there after taking the penalty and making eight moves.
However, there was one thing that was disappointing.
Looking at Kim Min-woo’s eyes, it seems like he believes in something.
‘I won’t pull it out until the end.’
I wanted to see everything, but the situation was not favorable. I tried to block out the surrounding noise, but more and more residents were crowding in.
Even if you issue an order to forget, if the number continues to grow, it will be difficult to handle. If you delay too long, the news of your visit will spread.
‘The penalty will also get worse.’
It was right to end it at this point.
“Enough. You probably know the purpose of my visit.”
Kim Min-woo stood still.
“I don’t know the exact purpose.”
“If I was going to kill you, I would have done it a long time ago.”
“Even if you didn’t kill me, you could control my mind.”
“Don’t worry, I don’t think that’s the case anymore. You know that charm doesn’t work very well, right?”
“so?”
“Congratulations on being listed as a trading target.”
The release smiled faintly.
* * *
Release visited the guild building.
At the same time, Amteron, who had been following along absentmindedly, suddenly came to his senses.
When he saw the release, he was astonished as if he was seeing it for the first time.
“Hey! Chi, Chil-jon!”
“Calm down. I won’t eat you.”
If they were going to cooperate with Lilith, it would be good if at least the guild leader, Amteron, knew about this fact.
‘Because if I go back, I don’t know when I’ll be able to come back again.’
The Celestial City Travel Pass allowed a stay of one month when used.
The cooldown before it can be used again is a whopping 6 months. In other words, this means that Amteron will have to manage the guild for half a year.
That’s why.
I brought that guy to the guild master’s office.
“Just listen quietly.”
“Oh, I understand.”
Kim Min-woo looked at the release.
“So, what do you want to say?”
“Oh my. Your horse has become prettier. Are you finally going to treat me well?”
“If you’re going to cooperate, it’s better to be polite. That’s not difficult.”
Lilith nodded as if she was pleased with those words.
“Excellent. If you want to survive long, it’s important to know how to live in the world. First, I have a question. You killed Hyulrang’s younger brother, right? What were you thinking?”
“If I had saved you, would you have been able to go smoothly with the Red Flag?”
“Hmm. Probably not.”
“That’s why I killed him. Even if the Blood Wolf came, I had a method I could trust.”
“I wonder if it’s a reliable means…?”
“Were we that close?”
“Well, there’s something fun about finding out secrets.”
The release followed shortly afterwards.
“The timing of the incident wasn’t bad. The Red Flag has many enemies right now. For example, there is a fierce territorial dispute with the Demonic Cult.”
“The devil’s cult?”
Are you talking about that demonic cult from martial arts?
Since various characters gathered from all dimensions, it wouldn’t be strange if there were residents from other martial arts worlds. Didn’t the gate also have various martial arts?
Lilith nodded at those words.
“I guess you haven’t heard of it. It was made recently.”
“Who made it?”
“Cheonma Yoo Hyeon-bi. One of the Seven Lords like me. He had never formed an organization before, but for some reason he founded the Demonic Cult. He became the center of the martial arts community. That’s how he gained power.”
“That’s good news. For now.”
“That’s right. Because they’re fighting over territory with the Red Flags. Even so… … .”
Lilith looked at Kim Minwoo with meaningful eyes and said.
“The Blood Wolf can come down at any time. If they just give up some territory to the Demonic Cult, it won’t be hard to sign a non-aggression pact. Of course, coming down like that would be foolish. I definitely thought so… … Now that I look at it, I guess not?”
Kim Min-woo was not just a visitor with good skills.
Just look at the speed of development in District 9. They were doing something no one had ever tried before, and the results were quickly becoming apparent.
It is threatening.
If this news reached Hyulrang’s ears, it would be quite annoying.
“So?”
“The Shadow Guild handles information. They can delay information going to the Blood Wolf. And… … they can make the red flag really annoying. They can’t come down here easily.”
“I haven’t heard that any of the Seven Lords are particularly strong.”
“But it’s not like we can just take it without any resistance.”
“So, can you please delay the time the red flag comes down as much as possible?”
“That might be possible, if today’s conversation goes well.”
“What do you want?”
“What I want is simple: coexistence.”
“It’s coexistence.”
“It’s not that hard. It looks like you’re going to complete each area in this way… … We want to get involved in that project too.”
“I created Area 9.”
“Okay, I get it. You eat all that. But how about we split the upper section?”
“Hmm… … .”
“You can monopolize District 9. Those above won’t care much. But I heard it’ll be different in the higher districts?”
“I guess so.”
“If you eat it all by yourself, you’ll get sick. You’ll also have a lot of enemies. Maybe some of the Seven Lords will come together to help you. In times like that, it’s very important to have a friend you can trust.”
“I understand. Then let’s divide it into 8 sections. What would you like to eat?”
“Make the underworld. Make it awesome. And protect our children. Thoroughly. Against anyone. We live in a symbiotic relationship.”
“… … I guess you have a lot of enemies too?”
“That’s how all information merchants are. This is true. It’s frustrating when you lack the military power. Even if you pay the protection fee regularly, when you get into trouble with a large organization or big shot, instead of protecting them, they just break them up, right?”
“Can we please not do that?”
“Then I will be able to gain strength from seeing our children. I will share as much information as possible. It won’t be bad. Our eyes and ears are everywhere.”
“Is that right?”
At those words, Lilith’s eyes sparkled. She shrugged her shoulders as if she was boasting about a well-raised child.
“The Shadow Guild has informants stationed in every district. It’s our job to comprehensively analyze the information they send us. For example, last month, we dug up every single detail of the Red Flag executive meeting. Who raised the opposing opinion, where they’re headed next. We even succeeded in installing a wiretapping device at the meeting location. We could use this to our advantage to spread misleading information to them.”
“That’s pretty impressive.”
“Yes. Our news is really fast. The Blood Wolf must have found out about his brother’s death by now. They are quite slow. I can provide you with a regular map of the distribution of power within the Celestial City, and if there is a person you want, I can do a thorough background check on them. Of course, you will have to pay for the costs involved.”
“It must be expensive.”
“I’ll give you a special discount. So, what do you want?”
The information was definitely important.
I’ve been hearing things from Amteron, but he was originally a resident of District 9.
Finding out news from the upper echelons was bound to be a long time coming, especially now that the upper echelons were cut off.
Instead of sharing a bit with each other, we hold hands with one of the Seven Lords.
It was attractive.
“Then, should we write a contract?”
“I thought about it very well. Let’s get along well. Guild Leader Kim.”
The release smiled brightly.
