Money-grubbing Necromancer (200)
Park Si-woo was startled when he woke up to the noise.
“Wow, what number is that… … !”
The view outside the tent was nothing but hell.
Tens of thousands?
Hundreds of thousands?
I don’t know.
There were so many rats surrounding the area that it was hard to see them all at once. The skeletons were fighting hard, but they were no match for the rats that were biting and gnawing at their bodies from all directions.
Parsak!
Goosebumps ran down Park Si-woo’s body as he watched the undead fall helplessly.
Kwarung!
The lightning that rose above Merhen’s hand struck the ground.
Tens of thousands of rats were burned to death in one blow.
The problem was that there were far more rats coming than dead ones.
Park Si-woo laughed in vain.
“Sister. Next time, should I prepare some rat poison?”
“Quickly take out your weapon.”
Seo Ye-rim, who had fired a sharp shot, quickly summoned the divine palace.
Suddenly, a pure white energy began to hover over Hansia’s body as she summoned the holy relic.
‘There’s no need to panic.’
I went through numerous battlefields during the re-examination.
We fought against the Death Lord’s army. There were far more undead than rats back then. Considering that, the sight now was nothing.
[‘Hancia’ uses the Prayer of Salvation (S)!]
[Attack and defense power of all party members increases by 50%!]
[All recovery speeds increased by 50%]
[Your five senses are greatly amplified!]
A prayer strengthened by the power of the holy relic enveloped the bodies of the comrades.
Seo Ye-rim was inwardly impressed after seeing the effect. She was a high-level Awakened user.
Of course, I have had the experience of going through numerous gates.
Priest is one of the essential professions that cannot be left out of a party.
It was only natural that I had received many buffs up until now.
But I can say for sure that I have never received a buff like this before.
‘My sister said she was level 162.’
A level 162 priest was giving out buffs that even S-rank priests over level 500 couldn’t do.
Of course, there was a fatal flaw in the priests who distributed buffs like this.
In battle, their abilities are close to being useless. They show strength against undead, but against other normal creatures, the priest is not a very strong class.
“You’re crazy, you’re crazy!”
Park Si-woo, who had been buffed, jumped around. Before receiving the buff, the Holy Sword, which had been destroying hundreds of rats with a single strike, was now slaughtering over a thousand rats.
Seo Ye-rim also did not stay still.
Through the clearly expanded field of vision, I could see the fog swirling dimly in the distance. Fog is the most common thing I’ve seen here, but this fog was very different from anything I’ve seen before.
‘Isn’t that an eye?’
In the middle of the fog, two red eyes shine with light.
Giggle.
The tension in the shrine was tense.
The three arrows that flew hit him squarely in both his eyes.
―… … !
The fog made an unpleasant noise. A swarm of rats began to swarm around like madmen.
“Minwoo! That thing is a monster! It looks like it’s controlling a rat… …!”
“Let’s first break through the encirclement and chase after them.”
The number is so large that even Merhen’s magic doesn’t show any signs of decreasing. First, we have to deal with these guys first.
It just so happened that he had specialized skills in Western medicine.
[SSS (Sudden Death) is activated… … .]
It was a moment of utilizing skill.
As if a flower bud had burst into bloom, the pitch-black ground completely engulfed the surrounding area. Even the space where the rats swarmed, everything.
A significantly expanded range.
The swarm of rats began to fall helplessly due to the massive poison damage.
[The Land of Death (SSS)’s capacity to embrace has reached its limit!]
[(100,000/100,000)]
A swarm of 100,000 rats that had been rushing madly just a moment ago changed direction and began to bite their own kind.
At least acts as a breakwater.
Even just a brief moment of standing on the ground causes the rats to start dying in droves.
The weakest monster in the open sea.
Also, it was a monster that was close to being at odds with Kim Min-woo, as it was a monster that pushed forward with quantity.
[Level up… … .]
[Level up… … .]
‘Oh, this is it.’
One-click, devastating level-up.
The necromancer was a god.

Once the tide of battle turned, it was a matter of driving out the rats.
“Whew. Finished cleaning up!”
Park Si-woo wiped away the beads of sweat that had dripped down from the tension and looked at Kim Min-woo.
“Brother. Was that skill originally like that?”
“Land of the Dead?”
“Yes. It seems like it was originally very different. Is that the skill you used the skill enhancement ticket for?”
“that’s right.”
“This place called the Celestial City, the rewards are really great… … .”
It was the same when I played in a party in the Giant Dungeon, and also during the Super Rookie Selection. I didn’t know the name of the skill, Land of Death, but I knew the general mechanism.
A skill that resurrects a dead opponent as an undead after dealing minor damage.
But now it’s definitely different.
No matter how weak a rat is, it’s at a level where it dies in just 2 seconds after stepping on the ground?
The skill’s range and the number of revives were also significantly different. At first glance, it seemed like it revived close to 100,000 rats.
It has become an incredible skill that I have never seen before.
A sword worthy of this holy sword.
“Envy?”
“I’m so jealous. Hehe. You’ll give me a sponsorship right, too, right? I feel a little sorry towards Sister Sia, but… … I’m the second one?”
“Okay, I got it.”
Park Si-woo also has his own set of skills.
I don’t know about Seo Ye-rim, who I talked about first, but she shouldn’t be pushed out by Han Sia.
A pungent and bitter smell rose from all directions. The corpses of rats, burned to death, poisoned, and bitten to death, were strewn everywhere.
After leaving the tidying up to Merhen and the Undead, I looked at the group.
“But where is Lerouye?”
“Maybe he’s sleeping?”
“yes?”
Kim Min-woo tilted his head.
You’re sleeping while this chaos is going on?
Does that make sense?
Hansia scratched her head with a puzzled look in her eyes.
“I went to wake him up, but he didn’t wake up at all. He looked really tired… … so I just left him alone. He had a hard time today.”
trouble?
It’s true that it was hard work if you ate the three divine powers, but does that mean you just slept soundly?
I opened Lerouye’s tent right away.
I saw three heads sticking out of the blanket. They were even snoring soundly.
I shook my body.
-Hmm… … .
The witch appeared, tossing and turning slightly but never opening her eyes.
My heart feels heavy.
This guy is truly a legend.
* * *
After a huge commotion, the group gathered together in one place.
Damn it.
Everyone was staring at the witch who was blinking her eyes.
-What do you have to say?
“no.”
“hey.”
“Don’t you know what happened yesterday?”
-embrace.
-The monarch explored.
―That must be why they flocked in.
Kim Min-woo looked at Lerouye with a bewildered look. The monarch was investigating.
‘Then that eyed vortex… … .’
Was he the Abyss Lord?
That aside.
“You knew that, but you didn’t wake up?”
-I told you. It’s called exploration. I thought you’d be able to stop rats on your own.
“If we had gotten up and chased after the monarch, we would have caught him right away.”
-No. The monarch is a kind of soul.
-Yesterday was an exploration, and only a very small part of the soul was sent.
―The soul’s true body is somewhere else, so there’s no point in chasing it.
“So you just slept?”
– If I had woken up, it would have been difficult to replenish my lost vitality. But I’m feeling fine now. By the way… … That’s strange.
“what?”
―It is very rare for a monarch to go out to the open sea. Even if he is a part of the soul.
“Excuse me, just a moment.”
Hansia said, raising her hand.
-What’s going on, priest?
“You said that only a very small number of people came today.”
-Probably so.
“But if they can move millions of rats, doesn’t that mean they could do more in the inland sea?”
-I guess so.
“Then… … isn’t the monster called the Abyss Lord incredibly strong… … ?”
-The Abyss Monarch is not a monster with a strong body.
– A monster that specializes in dealing with enemies and mental attacks.
– Think about it carefully. Isn’t that necromancer your natural enemy?
“Oh, is that so?”
– Ananke told me that the necromancer has exceptionally strong mental powers.
―I also deal with a lot of idiots. If Ananke thought I couldn’t catch them, he wouldn’t have sent me in the first place.
―Don’t worry about hunting. So, I hope he’s in the inner sea. It’ll get really tricky from the deep sea. Oh, and the necromancer.
“why.”
-I checked yesterday, and the potions were quite effective.
―Ananke was also impressed. He said that it was at least something that could compete with mental attacks.
-So, would you like to exchange recipes?
“exchange?”
-There are quite a few recipes in the Crow School.
-There are many precious recipes. There are some that you might want.
-If you want, I’d like to make an exchange.
Kim Min-woo’s eyes sparkled.
The 3-Sacred Skill is a fairly popular potion. As Lerouye said, it is a potion that is highly specialized in mental attacks. In particular, those who survived the Super Rookie Selection Tournament talked a lot about its effectiveness.
Since the promotion was automatic, sales were also increasing rapidly.
If you put the product in a Ilseong store, it will sell out in no time. That’s why the recipe’s value is high.
‘The Witch’s Covenant isn’t a competitor anyway.’
They are witches who fly and crawl in all dimensions. It’s not like Earth’s sales will decrease just because they learn the recipe.
‘This one needs a new recipe too.’
Kim Min-woo is a veteran.
It was basic to go around all kinds of communities and read a lot of recipes. So I knew a lot of recipes, but there was a blind spot in this area.
All of these recipes are related to ‘Earth’.
The level of the Earth’s gates is not high. The highest grade is an S-grade gate. The level of the recipe had to be determined along those lines.
But what if it’s a witch’s coven?
‘It’ll be very different.’
I’m sure you know a lot of good things.
There was no reason not to exchange it.
However, it remains to be seen what they will propose.
“What kind of recipe would I want?”
-One is an elixir.
– An elixir of a much higher level than the one you ate.
-The remaining one is… … .
Lerouye glanced over and said.
-It is a potion that increases potential.
“……potentiality?”
―It’s hard to believe… … Ananke said, your body has no potential. Is that right?
“Huh?”
“huh?”
“What is that… … .”
The guild members tilted their heads.
If you ask who the hottest newcomer on the planet right now is, it’s definitely Kim Min-woo.
They too had their own reputation, but it was nothing compared to his.
But the potential is a dud?
What the hell is this?
Everyone was puzzled.
On the other hand, Kim Min-woo was quite surprised. Even the swordsman couldn’t see through the fact that his talent was a dud.
Ananke, on the other hand, was different.
‘You figured it out?’
Of course, we did cast a spell to share each other’s physical conditions. Even considering that, it’s amazing that we were able to figure that out in one go when we were that far apart.
I thought the Archwitch was a Archwitch.
Gulp.
My mouth started watering.
“You’re right. It’s a dud.”
“Hyung, wait a minute. That can’t be. How could it be so… … .”
“Siwoo, in your opinion, do you think I’ve grown? In terms of swordsmanship?”
“Of course I did! Much faster, stronger… … Huh?”
Park Si-woo, who was answering urgently, tilted his head.
Suddenly, I was curious.
Kim Min-woo has definitely gotten stronger.
It got faster and stronger.
I also gained a lot of skills.
The equipment has also improved.
Production also deals with a lot of things.
But that was just a quantitative factor. Leveling up increases your abilities and makes you stronger.
This is something that all awakened people experience.
‘How was it in swordsmanship?’
Until now, I just thought it was natural to grow.
I never even had any doubts.
I took this opportunity to think calmly about it.
Park Si-woo has also grown a lot over the years, so we were able to analyze him.
The swordsman uses a sharp sword.
State of mind.
Kim Min-woo was at that point.
It was like that from the first time I saw it.
And it was still the same.
If your swordsmanship skill is 100, it is still exactly 100.
He felt like he had gotten faster and stronger because his abilities had improved, not because his swordsmanship had become sharper.
“It doesn’t feel like the talent itself has grown… … But isn’t that because your level is so high?”
“That’s right. It took my grandfather decades to reach the level of the Heart Sword.”
It’s just temporarily blocked, so it’s not like there’s no way to go up.
If that were the case, it would have been impossible to have skill level 100 in the first place.
It’s impossible for the body and mind to be that separated.
There it is, decisively.
Seo Ye-rim had heard a story from Geomseon.
“When you fought Lucas, didn’t you use a sword?”
“It’s a skill.”
“… …Not because of skill?”
Kim Min-woo laughed bitterly at those words.
“It’s been six months since I awakened, but my abilities have never increased even once through training or hunting.”
“……to?”
“Don’t lie.”
“That can’t be… … .”
“The same goes for skills. Not a single one was created.”
“… … Besides swordsmanship, what about the necromancer type?”
“Yes. I didn’t hide it on purpose, I just didn’t say anything because I didn’t need to… … .”
Special Reporter Kim Min-woo.
He’s untalented.
The body has always been honest.
That’s why the potential potion that Lerue talked about was so desirable.
