Money-grubbing Necromancer (195)

[Skill, Land of Death is strengthened to SSS level!]
A message came to mind.
Of the six skills, the one that was strengthened was the Land of Death.
‘It’s a SSS-grade skill.’
The effect was examined.
[Land of the Dead (SSS)]
[Level Restriction: 491 or higher]
[Consume 1,000 mana to turn an area into a land of death for two hours.]
[Effect 1. Enemies standing on the land of death have their movements greatly restricted and are continuously drained of vitality. Additionally, they suffer special poison damage.]
[Effect 2. Enemies that die on the Land of Death are revived as undead, up to a maximum of 100,000.]
[Effect 3. Undead standing on the land of death have all their abilities increased by 50%. Additionally, they emit an aura of death, reducing the attack power and defense power of surrounding enemies by 10%.]
[Effect 4. When an undead on the ground dies, there is a certain probability that it will drop a mana crystal. The crystal is automatically absorbed.]
A lot of the skills have changed.
First, effect number 1 that gives ‘dot deal’.
Poison damage has been added here.
‘It’s a special poison.’
Poisons that usually cause abnormal status effects are called special poisons.
“Good.”
This skill had a very wide range of applications. Just adding the poison damage to it was a great effect.
There is effect number 2… … .
‘The number of resurrections has increased. A lot.’
It’s a whopping 100,000.
The number was so large that it would be difficult to revive them all even if it were a war of a similar scale. The capacity was not sufficient, it was overflowing.
The third one was also the same as the national rice bowl effect. Originally, it was supposed to increase the ally’s ability by 20%, but it was inflated to 50%. Reducing the ‘attack and defense’ through the aura was a bonus.
Finally, effect number 4 is… … .
‘Mana Crystal?’
It was an effect I had never seen before.
I think I should try it sometime… … .
The experiment was not difficult.
The thing that was overflowing in the foggy forest was a hybrid. After moving into the forest, he used his skill.
[Use the Land of Death (SSS)!]
As if a giant black starfish were stretching out its tentacles, the land of death spread out in all directions, centering around Kim Min-woo.
‘Oh, it looks much better.’
Even the trees densely packed in the foggy forest could not escape the scope of the land.
Chewy!
Acrid, poisonous smoke rose from the roots beneath the ground.
Hundreds of trees were seen rotting and collapsing in an instant.
Like a hungry devil, the land gradually expands.
‘The range has expanded. And significantly.’
Previously, the area was the size of several school playgrounds connected together, but now the area has expanded to the size of several soccer fields connected together.
Phew.
The forest shook violently.
The vibration gradually increases.
-Kuaaah!
A familiar scream was heard.
Even if the attack was stopped, not all the hybrids living in the forest were completely wiped out. The forest of fog was still overflowing with hybrids. The hybrids who had been suddenly struck by misfortune were causing chaos.
A group of giant, rotten hands emerge from beneath the pitch-black ground.
The hybrid, whose limbs were caught, was staggering, emitting acrid smoke.
There were more than a few of those guys.
The effects of the poisons were extremely varied, ranging from those that inflicted strong dot damage, to those that caused dizziness, vomiting, and even rotting the insides.
A group of hybrids, each over level 300, were seen falling one by one before they could even get close.
A group of hybrids looking at me with hateful eyes and tongues licking their lips.
They were being killed in droves by just one range skill.
Kim Min-woo’s eyes lit up when he saw that.
“Deal, it’s stronger than I thought?”
The weakness of the Land of the Dead.
That’s because the area damage was extremely low. It wasn’t a skill that was used with the expectation of damage in the first place.
It was a skill used to buff undead and revive enemies.
If it had been the original Land of the Dead, the hybrids would have rushed at it madly in anger rather than falling.
But now it was different.
The special poison’s effects were much greater than expected.
‘This is enough to defeat even high-level monsters.’
The dead hybrids were seen being resurrected as undead. The increased stats from the Death Lord. And the increased stats from the Land of the Dead.
The resurrected hybrids tore at their staggering compatriots as if they were Lu Bu. They were seen killing each other. When the undead hybrids died like that, they would drop blue lumps on the ground.
‘Is that the Mana Crystal?’
The decision that fell like that naturally flew towards me.

[Absorbs mana crystals.]
[50 mana is restored.]
“This is crazy.”
He opened his mouth wide when he saw the message. 50 mana was by no means a small amount.
Because it was enough mana to summon 20 skeletons.
‘This is given to resurrected undead for free when they die?’
It won’t mean much in a small group.
However, it was different in a multi-battle or war. It was a skill that revived a whopping 100,000 people. The number of mana crystals dropped upon death would be enormous.
This one didn’t even need to be ‘rooted’. It was designed to fly towards me when dropped.
In simple terms, this means that in war, mana circulates almost infinitely.
“You’re back.”
Even with mana potions, there was a limit to recovery. That’s why I was reinforcing the recovery speed with runes and items.
There was no need for that anymore.
At least in war.
* * *
A splendid festival is held.
Firecrackers exploded in the night sky, and the smell of grilling meat filled the air.
People everywhere were desperate to build connections with Kim Min-woo.
The most talented people in District 9 came to him. All sorts of requests poured in as a bonus.
He, who had been getting along well, left the work to Amteron and went to find shelter.
Daughter.
The bell at the door rang.
At the counter, the guide was still sitting, his whole body glowing white.
I spoke to the guide, who was looking at me with an emotionless face.
“I heard that you can strengthen your Celestial City mobility here.”
“It’s possible. Do you want to increase the activity time by one month? Or reduce the cooldown by half a year?”
“I’m a follower.”
Cooldown half a year?
Even if Shadow and the Demonic Cult hold onto the Red Flag’s trouser legs, the cooldown is too long.
“How much is it?”
“It costs 10,000 points to reduce it by 1 month. At the practitioner level, it can be reduced by up to 3 months.”
“Then please reduce it to 3 months.”
“Can you please hand me your ticket?”
After nodding, he handed me a ticket to travel to the Celestial City.
[30,000 public points will be consumed!]
[You can now activate your mobility pass once every 3 months!]
Even though 30,000 was consumed, there was still a lot of public service left.
I earned 80k before the raid, spent 20k on celestial projection, and 30k on movement tickets.
Since you got 100,000 points from the raid, you currently have 130,000 remaining public service points.
Even if it was district 8 or district 7, it was not an amount of public service that could be easily obtained.
The intended use was fixed.
‘I need to buy a sponsorship certificate.’
I made a promise with Seo Ye-rim.
When we move to the Celestial City, she will also find a way to get there.
He is a SSS-class genius archer.
It would be much better if there were multiple directions for the training. The Celestial City was one of the good routes.
‘100,000 Diamond Sponsorship Certificates.’
This place was similar to a class society. Most of the people were outcasts who had no status of their own. In contrast, those who received generous sponsorship certificates tended to grow quickly.
I was thinking of giving Seo Ye-rim a diamond spoon like that too.
‘I can hand over the other two later.’
Rather than giving a lower-level sponsorship certificate because it’s urgent, it would be better to make them wait a bit and then start with diamonds.
If you do well, you might even reach a level of murderous difficulty like me.
This was killer, it was really good in terms of tripling experience points.
That was when.
The guide, who had been looking at me bluntly, asked.
“Did you get the new water?”
“How did you know?”
“I felt the energy of the statue. I guess it’s still at the first stage of blessing.”
“That’s right. Do you know any way to strengthen it?”
“You will be able to advance up to the second level by taking care of the city’s affairs. For the third level… … you must challenge the Master of the Fog.”
“… …The ruler of the fog?”
“I am the owner of the foggy forest.”
The guide said with a shrug.
Kim Min-woo thought of a map.
The forest of fog was very large.
It wouldn’t be strange if there was a boss hidden deep inside.
‘I didn’t see it during the raid.’
The residents also never mentioned that there was a ruler or a boss in the foggy forest. Maybe it was a hidden piece.
“That’s interesting. I really want to grab it. Thanks for the info.”
“No problem.”
The attitude was a bit more friendly than when I visited the shelter last time. If the guide had eyes and ears, he would know what was happening in Area 9.
‘I guess I’ll have to try it later.’
I gained a lot from the Celestial City.
When I first came here, I was level 385, but now I’m at level 491. Level 500, which is considered an S-class awakened player, was just around the corner.
‘I guess I should take some limit-breaking elixir?’
The maximum level that can be raised in the current state is 500. I had to consume more breakthrough elixirs.
I looked through the achievement shop.
After purchasing the Blood Jade at a special discount price of 1,500 points, I became a beggar for a while.
Then, I saved Hansia and earned some points.
‘It was around 800 points.’
It was a very high score compared to the 300 points given to Park Si-woo and Seo Ye-rim.
‘But there were no vending machines during Park Si-woo’s time.’
If there was a vending machine, the score would have been doubled and it would have been 600 points.
If you think about it, 800 points wasn’t a high score.
That means it was originally 400 points.
Seo Ye-rim is a bit of an exception, as she received points through a kind of advance payment…
‘I wish I had gotten points for catching Lucas too.’
Unfortunately, the reward for catching him was converted into a job change ticket instead of points.
It was originally worth 23,000 points, so it’s not a loss, but… … .
‘Human greed is endless.’
Kim Min-woo chuckled.
After a long time, I opened an achievement shop.
As I looked around the store, I saw a score.
The score is 830.
‘I still don’t have the means to buy expensive things.’
Kim Min-woo sighed inwardly.
Potential Boost Potion 1,200 points.
Necromancy Vision Book is worth 3,000 points.
The prices of the things I wanted to buy were all so high that they made my hands and feet tremble.
“Whew. First, I need to drink the limit-breaking elixir.”
Because I can’t not level up.
Limit Break Potion increases level potential by 50 for 100 points each.
I bought four and drank them generously.
Instead of the score being cut in half, the level cap has been raised.
‘Now it’s possible to reach level 700.’
The urgent fire has been put out.
I looked into the situation.
He allied with the Seven Zone Lilith and laid the foundations of the city’s basic infrastructure.
‘It’s automatic hunting.’
The infrastructure that was once laid down continued to produce public value. Of course, it continued to decrease compared to when it was first laid down, but the important thing is that it gradually increased. From celestial projection to skill enhancement and even divine water.
Now was the right time to turn back, as the Red Flag was at a standstill.
That way, we can quickly turn back the 3-month cooldown.
[Public Merit Shop Opens!]
[Purchase a Diamond Sponsorship Certificate!]
[100,000 public points will be consumed!]
Guildmaster Amteron.
I had already told him how to act when I was away, so it was time to get back on track.
* * *
[Activity time is up!]
[Return!]
I returned to the room with the message. I saw my smartphone on the table. I unlocked it and entered the guild chat room.
There were six people in the chat room.
Merhen, Cedric, Park Si-woo, Seo Ye-rim, Han Sia, and Kim Min-woo.
Of these, three remained, as he and the two legion commanders were absent.
As I was looking through the conversation list, I saw a familiar name.
It was Hansia.
‘I see you’re back.’
After dealing with Lucas.
After obtaining the right to change jobs, she set out to meet Popo.
I was worried because the recovery period was longer than expected.
Fortunately, she must have come back about a week ago, because her conversation has been going on since then.
‘But what were you doing that made you stay for almost four weeks?’
Clearly, Seo Ye-rim and herself didn’t stay for more than a few hours.
It seems like something happened.
‘Let’s ask about that later.’
Swish swish.
I kept scrolling down the chat window.
‘Fortunately, nothing bad happened.’
What I was most worried about before leaving was Shadow’s reaction. I wondered if he would react in some way since I had caught Lucas. But it seemed like nothing was wrong.
Except for one thing.
7/1 (Tue)
[Park Si-woo]
-But when you come back, there’ll be chaos. I heard from the chairman that presidents from all over the world have called you;
[Seo Ye-rim]
―If it’s something like a rune, then it’s worth it. Don’t worry about that and just hunt hard. (Rabbit emoji with arms crossed solemnly)
[Park Si-woo]
-I’m on level 10, right? Seriously;
[Seo Ye-rim]
-So, what level are you?
There was no conversation for several hours after that.
‘Come to think of it… … .’
Before I left, I had entrusted Chairman Kim with the handling of the rune. I thought it would be useful for overseas expansion, probably.
That must have been the reason for the chaos. In the first place, runes were items that did not exist on Earth. It would not be strange if all the Awakened people’s eyes were rolled back.
I looked at the article.
[Shock! Proud global company Ilsung develops Rune!]
[What the heck is a rune? Full analysis!]
[What is the identity of the unknown craftsman K?]
[US, China, and Japan leaders make surprise visit to Korea!]
[Rune prices are skyrocketing… … .]
“The response is hot. It’s a shit rune.”
If it had been a good rune to begin with, they would have put it in this group a long time ago.
The runes that were handed over to the chairman were those with leftover lower-level options. Of course, I wonder if the buyers would know that…
While I was visiting the Celestial City, it seemed like the world was in chaos.
