Money-grubbing Necromancer (194)
A 24-hour raid once a month.
The guilds’ purpose was simple.
The only thing you can do is hold on.
100,000 was too many to wipe out the enemy. There was no reason to risk one’s life fighting since they would just survive for a day and then go away. That’s why they mainly fought street battles inside the city.
Even if the city was somewhat ruined, it was still better than having guild members die. In addition, urban warfare had the decisive advantage of being able to actively utilize the city’s residents in defense.
Since there is no place to retreat, you have no choice but to fight while crying and eating mustard.
That’s how it’s been blocked so far.
But this time… … .
‘You’re crazy.’
The people on the wall looked at Kim Min-woo. The gazes that had been looking at him like he was crazy when he jumped down had now completely changed.
‘Fighting tens of thousands of hybrids all by yourself.’
‘Does this make sense?’
Most people were able to see with their own eyes the undead army that they had only heard about.
Even the armament of the lowest skeletons is far more faithful than their own.
It wasn’t even just the armed forces that were loyal.
“What, how can you fight so well?”
Lightly deflect the hybrid attacks with your shield. Deflect the attacks with your weapon, and decapitate them in one breath.
They weren’t the stupid skeletons they had seen so far. They were all closer to seasoned soldiers.
Even a mere skeleton would be like that, let alone the summoned creatures of higher rank. A mage who could cast all sorts of death magic with a magic circle, a specter who could deal with aerial monsters, a Dullahan who could ride a giant horse and run around the battlefield.
What’s more, there are also hordes of enemies that come back to life as undead when they die.
It was clear.
The one dominating this battlefield right now was Kim Min-woo.
Now I think I can finally feel how great the Necromancer profession is in war.
Of course, he couldn’t stop all 100,000 hybrids. About a third of them were approaching the wall while avoiding Kim Min-woo.
However, the guild members already standing on the wall were in a state of high spirits.
“Attack! Kill them all!”
“It’s about being active without shame!”
Thousands of arrows flew across the sky.
Pubber pubber!
The sharp arrowheads hit and the hybrid horde falls.
Phew!
It was a bonus that it disappeared without a trace while being struck by flames and lightning.
The hybrids also did not stay still.
The winged creatures swarmed over the walls.
The number of people banging their heads against the wall and swinging their weapons began to increase.
“Eww! Save me!”
A mercenary flying away with his mouth still bitten by a hybrid that resembles a wyvern.
A wizard who had been peeking out from the top of the wall is seen falling down the wall, pricked by thorns fired by a cactus-like hybrid.
One of the hybrids, with long, monkey-like arms, scaled the wall with all its might and snapped the Awakened’s neck in one breath.
“Kill him!”
A melee broke out on the castle walls.
Kim Min-woo, who had cut down the bull-like hybrid in one breath, looked at the wall.
‘I missed some.’
Well… … .
It was impossible to stop all 100,000 hybrids with just a few thousand summons. But I’m sure the other guild leaders would be able to handle that.
I looked around.
A horde of hybrids appeared surrounding the skeleton army, almost like a circle.
While I was holding out at the front, the guys were already swarming around me. In other words, it was the perfect situation for a magician to be active.
“Merchen.”
-Yeah. I’m ready.
[Rampage begins!]
[All magical power increases by 30% for 10 minutes!]
[You can use magic up to five times in a row!]
Drop!
Magic gathered in both of Merhen’s hands. In her left hand was a dazzling lightning bolt.
In his right hand, dark, pitch-black water was pooling together.
[Merhen overlaps Lightning Strike (SS)… … .]
[Merhen overlaps Tsunami Strike (SS)… … .]
As if sensing a strong threat, the hybrids rushed forward.
However, it was impossible to immediately break through the undead army under Cedric’s command. This was when five spells were stacked on both hands.
Two magics, concentrated to their limits, were activated in the middle of the battlefield.
Swish… … !
A huge tidal wave rose over the vast plain. The hybrids stared blankly at the tidal wave that was nearly 7 meters high.
Then a tidal wave struck the hybrid horde, leaving only the undead army surrounded in the center like a donut.
Tens of thousands of hybrids were swept away by the tsunami. Air bubbles shot up from the water.
-bye.
Hundreds of lightning bolts struck him like skewers.

Kroong!
Krrrr!
Those who were hit directly were burned black, and those who were electrocuted in the water shivered. It was a fatal blow to be electrocuted while already struggling in the water.
When the tsunami calmed down.
Nearly 20,000 hybrids were knocked down and unable to move.
[Level up… … .]
[Level up… … .]
The level-up message kept ringing out. A phrase I had never seen before appeared before my eyes.
[The Land of Death (S)’s ability to embrace has reached its limit! (10,000/10,000)]
I looked around.
Nearly ten thousand undead were seen resurrected from the land of the dead.
‘I guess I can’t revive him anymore.’
It’s an S-class skill.
It’s a structure that can’t be revived infinitely.
Rather, just reviving it to 10,000 was considered an excellent S-class skill.
‘Well, even 10,000 is enough.’
Of the 100,000 hybrids, approximately 70,000 rushed to this side. Even so, the remaining hybrids were only around 20,000. The survivors were also not normal due to the electric shock.
“Cedric!”
-All troops, charge!
Cedric spread his wings and rushed towards the group of hybrids.
It was massacre, massacre after massacre.
* * *
The heavily reinforced walls served their purpose. Although they were damaged here and there, they could be reused at any time if they were repaired.
“Hey, I won!”
“Wow!”
Shouts were heard from all directions.
The 100,000 hybrid hordes that attacked as I said were completely annihilated.
They were unable to break through the walls, and the fight ended with the remaining hybrids being swept away by a horde of undead that attacked from behind.
[For the first time in District 9, we have completely prevented an attack!]
[All 100,000 hybrids were killed!]
[What an amazing achievement!]
[Settling compensation… … .]
A message popped up saying that settlement was in progress.
‘It must be salty, right?’
This is the first time.
In other words, it means that it is an achievement that even the Seven Heavenly Kings of the past could not achieve.
‘That makes sense.’
Being in District 9 means being low level. They say that they are different from the start, but they probably don’t have the power to catch all 100,000 hybrids.
So I was quite excited about what they would give me as compensation.
As the gate opened and Kim Min-woo came in, a loud cheer was heard.
“Long live Kim Min-woo!”
“Viva!”
It was a hot cheer.
‘but.’
Even though there were high walls, there were still 100,000 hybrids.
If they had fought normally, the sacrifices would have been quite great.
But now it was different.
Of the 10,000 people gathered here, only about two hundred died. Even those who were seriously injured were able to avoid death thanks to the supply of potions.
All the small and medium guild leaders came and shouted.
“That’s amazing!”
“From now on, I will only trust and follow the guild leader!”
“I will be loyal!”
It was as if they were shouting passionately, as if they were modern-day idols.
‘I don’t think it’s true love.’
Of course, there may be some who are somewhat influenced by the force, but the majority will bow their heads in response to the trend.
But it didn’t matter.
How long has it been since you last saw me? How can you expect true loyalty? Their hearts can be won over little by little.
“Amteron.”
“yes.”
“How much reserves do you have now?”
“It’s about 500,000 marks.”
“Let’s have a celebration. We won a great victory, didn’t we?”
“It sounds very good!”
Amteron replied with a smile.
He probably intended to host the festival and exert influence as the main character of the victory. In fact, that was what he said on purpose.
‘I need to establish some discipline before I leave.’
If we hold a huge festival, many people will probably be inspired. The more this happens, the more the small and medium guild leaders will bow their heads to us.
That was when.
[You have successfully completed this raid on ‘Murderous’ difficulty without major casualties.]
[‘Murderous’ correction is given!]
[Rewards greatly increased!]
[The rewards are settled!]
[Reward List]
[1. You have earned 100,000 public service points!]
[2. The dominance of District 9 has surpassed a certain level! One of the nine divine items will be given to your inventory!]
[3. Obtain a skill enhancement ticket!]
‘Hey.’
It was sweet from the first reward.
100,000 public service points!
Considering that the public value earned by distributing goods and developing urban infrastructure for an entire month was less than 100,000, it was like hitting the lottery all at once.
‘There, the nine divine beings… … .’
From zone 1 to zone 9.
There were nine districts in total.
Is there a new water source in each area?
I rummaged through my inventory and took out the sacred water. It was a small statue.
It was as big as a palm and was dark in color. It looked like a vagrant.
[Statue of the Vagabond in District 9]
[Rating: Special]
[Qualifications: Kim Min-woo]
[A statue containing the wisdom of those who survived the slums. It blesses up to one thousand companions. It can be strengthened if you find special conditions.]
[Blessing Stage 1 Application Status]
[effect]
[1. Slight increase in resistance to poison]
[2. Evasion rate slightly increases when stamina falls below 20%.]
[3. ??]
.
.
“……uh?”
Kim Min-woo tilted his head after seeing the new item. This was his first time seeing this type of item.
‘All colleagues are given blessings?’
So what is the scope of colleagues?
That was when.
The guild members, including Amteron, became noisy. After a while of talking, Amteron came out as the representative and asked.
“I, the guild leader.”
“huh?”
“A message appears saying that a blessing has been applied thanks to the guild leader’s divine water… … Did you obtain something like divine water?”
“I did get something like this.”
When I showed him the statue, Amteron’s eyes lit up.
“Oh, so that’s why all of our guild members received those messages! This is awesome, awesome!”
Amteron said with sparkling eyes.
The effect wasn’t that great or anything.
However, it was not to the extent that it could be ignored.
Resistance to poison was a skill that could be used at any time while hunting, and the same goes for increased evasion rate.
What’s even better is that this buff applies not only to Kim Min-woo, but to the entire Donjiral guild as well.
‘Even just step 1 is like this… … .’
What if the effect was further enhanced?
What if more hidden performance was revealed?
The power and unity of the guild will increase dramatically compared to before.
‘This is a great thing.’
Kim Min-woo had such an item, and Amteron was very lucky to have become the second-in-command of such a guild.
‘And this attack was also completely blocked… … .’
The more I looked, the brighter Kim Min-woo’s future seemed. He will be active not only in District 9 but also in the upper districts.
Indeed, in the future, his name might be called Paljon instead of Chiljon.
At first, they were forced to give their allegiance due to the threat of power, but now it was different.
Because I clearly saw the vision.
That’s why Amteron’s gaze towards Kim Min-woo was a little different.
There will be many people gathering under him in the future.
‘From now on, you must be absolutely loyal.’
That way, you can preserve your position, or at least avoid being pushed out too much.
“I will continue to serve you with loyalty.”
Kim Min-woo snickered at the sight of the Lizardman speaking seriously.
I thought I knew why he was doing that.
‘Well, I guess there’s nothing wrong with me.’
What can I say if you say you will be loyal of your own accord?
“Okay, let’s do it well. I intend to use it carefully.”
“yes!”
After looking at the second reward.
Finally, let’s take a look at the rewards that are closer to the highlight.
[Skill Enhancement Ticket]
[Rating: Special]
[A one-time ticket that can raise your skill level. It seems to be a valuable item.]
[Effect 1. When used, randomly raises one of your skills to SSS level. (Limited to bound skills)]
“Crazy, awesome!”
Kim Min-woo’s eyes sparkled.
It’s not even SS-grade, but you’re saying you’re changing it to SSS-grade?
There is no such item on Earth.
It was an item that could only be obtained in the Celestial City.
‘Because it’s a limited-use skill… … .’
I guess you’re talking about skills obtained through skill books.
There was quite a list.
Bone Exchange (B), Equip Weapon (B), Summon Bone Golem (A), Land of the Dead (S), Curse of Weakness (S), and Heart of the Legion (SS).
All of the skills were obtained through bound skill books, and were all targets for strengthening.
‘They are all luxury skills.’
Bone Exchange strengthens bone summons, including skeletons.
Equipping weapons is a useful skill because you don’t have to take off and put on equipment.
This golem summoning was also very good in terms of strengthening the lock.
Cedric and Merchen summoning are SSS-level. So, if it’s SSS-level, doesn’t that mean Dolsoe can be strengthened to the level of a legion commander?
‘The land of the dead is also good.’
It was a skill that was so useful in war that it made my mouth hurt to talk about it.
The Curse of Weakness also wouldn’t have been bad if it had been strengthened considering the linkage with the Infectious Lord’s Gloves. The Heart of the Legion was also a very satisfying skill in that it turned the summoned creature into a mini Kim Min-woo.
‘It’s said that one of these random reinforcements will become SSS-class.’
It would be most advantageous for a B-class to become an SSS-class, but it didn’t have to be that way.
It’s an item upgrade ticket, so I saved it because it can be strengthened to mythic level.
Since this is to raise the skill you have to SSS, there was no reason to save it.
‘Then I should write it right away.’
I wonder what will rise to SSS.
Flash!
The skill enhancement ticket in my hand turned into light.
