Money-grubbing Necromancer (209)
There were two main ways to get to Japan.
A ship or an airplane.
Although Hokkaido access was blocked, it was possible to enter other areas without any problems.
‘As long as you wash your identity properly.’
Of course, I had no intention of moving to Kim Min-woo.
World ranking 157th.
I guarantee that seven out of ten people will recognize you when you walk down the street.
A successful awakener is one who can slap the cheeks of world-class celebrities.
‘The president will take care of the laundering of his identity… ‘
There is a magic that can change your appearance, but there is a high chance that you will be caught at the immigration checkpoint, so pass. After all, the safest option is a face mask…
-Minwoo. What are you thinking so deeply about?
“Huh? Merhen. When did you come?”
-A little while ago. I’m bored, Minwoo.
“Just look at the shorts.”
-I’ve already seen it all. It’s no fun to have algorithms recommend things to me.
When I was at home, I spent all day fiddling with my phone, and before I knew it, it had become a dead end.
“Then… … do you want to go sightseeing?”
-sightseeing?
“Oh. The country next door, Japan. Do you know Merchen too?”
-Island! Gyudon! Ramen!
Is it really that good?
Her eyes sparkle like jewels.
‘It’s nothing special when you actually get there.’
but.
The first tour is always exciting. Especially since Merchen is a creature from another dimension.
“The Fire Spirit King. I’ll catch him.”
-Him? The Prime Minister would hate that guy.
“So we have to sneak in. And we can catch them before they can do anything.”
-Aha. So that’s why you were worried?
“I’m not worried. I decided to get some help, but I’m just curious as to how they’ll let me in. They say that surveillance is very tight in Hokkaido.”
-Just fly.
“huh?”
-Can’t you just fly over and find him?
“Well, I guess I’ll take a plane.”
-No, not that. You said you had to go secretly. Then I can just use my magic.
“Huh? Possible?”
-Minwoo. I’m Merhen. The Great Wizard!
Kim Min-woo burst into laughter at the sight of Merhen puffing out her cheeks as she spoke.
“Oh, that’s right. He’s a great wizard. He’s an expert in the five great attributes.”
Until he became a master of shorts.
Indeed, Merchen was a legend.
– That’s right. It’s close on the map. You can just fly there or go into the ocean.
“Into the sea?”
-Yeah. Just make some bubbles. It’s not difficult at all.
“Then there’s no way I can get caught?”
– Right? You want to do that?
That was when.
I got a call from an unknown number.
“Excuse me. Hello?”
– Are you Kim Guildjang? I am the director of the National Intelligence Service. I heard you wanted to enter Hokkaido… … .
“Oh, that’s right.”
– We have asked for the Navy’s cooperation. We plan to use stealth submarines to avoid maritime surveillance.
“Oh, well. Now that I think about it, I don’t think it’s necessary to do something so grand. I think I can go by myself.”
-Hokkaido? Surveillance will be extremely tight… … .
“They say that Merhen can create air bubbles and move to the sea.”
– Oh, that could be done with magic… … No. Come to think of it, it could be possible for Ms. Merhen. She’s an incredible magician.
“Yes. It’s too grand to even use a submarine. I’ll just go and come back alone.”
– Let’s go quickly, Minwoo! I want to go sightseeing! I’m going to eat ramen, sushi, and convenience store food!
“Oh, that’s right. Well, have a nice day.”
-Oh, yes. Good luck.
So, the call with the director of the National Intelligence Service ended.
“Do you want to eat it that much?”
-What a wonderful future. It was like that in Shorts. Top 10 must-eat foods when you go to Japan!
Seeing her looking so expectant made me feel a little sorry. Merhen’s sense of taste had only returned to about 10% of what it was before she died.
To restore it, you need to consume the Dead Cocktail sold in the Achievement Shop, and if you remember… … .
‘I only gave you one bottle.’
With Cedric, as a sort of experiment.

Despite having only a weak sense of taste, Merhen, unlike Cedric, participates in all three meals at home.
“… … Can you restore my sense of taste more?”
-No. The achievement points are yours. They’re Minwoo’s. It’s okay.
“But there’s still some left… … .”
No, to be honest, the score was tight, just like Merchen said.
I got 800 achievement points by saving Hansia. However, I spent 400 points by purchasing four limit breakthrough elixirs while in the Celestial City.
‘You can raise it to level 700.’
The remaining points are approximately 400 points.
Currently, I was collecting points for a Physical Potential Boost Potion (1,200 points) and a Necromancy Book (3,000 points).
“I’m sorry, Merchen.”
– Hehe. Okay. Minwoo is the coolest when he smiles rather than frowns.
“……okay?”
-Yeah! So smile. Brightly.
A smile slowly appears on my face.
It was a really cute summon.
It also gives me some sense of determination.
“I’ll try to earn points quickly. As much as I can.”
The awakening of Seo Ye-rim, Park Si-woo, and Han Sia.
Catch Han Baek-gil from the Shadow Branch.
Griff family, Lucas, beating up, etc.
The structure was such that in order to earn points, you had to take care of things on the ground, not at the gate.
Of course, in Lucas’ case, they gave him a job change ticket instead of points.
‘Anyway, that’s good.’
Isn’t this the moment when the Fire Spirit King is causing trouble?
Dealing with that might give you some achievement points.
Basically, achievement points are like a sticker of praise that says, “The Earth did a good job.”
“let’s go.”
Gangwon-do beach.
From there, you can ride the magic train and get to Hokkaido in one breath.
* * *
Hakodate City, Japan.
As one of the major cities in southern Hokkaido, it had the advantage of being close to the main island of Honshu, making it easy to receive support.
Fortunately, the areas where the Fire Spirit King ran wild were the central and northern regions.
It was inevitable that Hakodate in the south would be chosen as the staging area for this second attack.
“So, when is that gentleman, the Sword Ghost, coming? It’s urgent!”
“They said they’ll be here soon. Please wait a moment… … .”
“I think the 10 guild leaders gathered here would have been enough. Do you think the Prime Minister doesn’t trust us?”
“How could that be? It’s just to eliminate variables. Don’t you all know the strength of the Sword Master?”
“I know. I know, but isn’t this too much? Not only did we gather all the 10, no, 9 guild leaders, but we’re also gathering retirees? The world will laugh at us, Japan! They’re saying we’re so incompetent!”
“Ugh… … .”
Japan’s Special Disaster Response Headquarters Chief, Muramasa, was sweating profusely.
This was because the person I was dealing with right now was none other than the number one player in Japan, the leader of the Katana Guild.
‘Damn it. Why on earth did I have to be in charge of this…?’
Given the circumstances, their pride was sky-high.
Failure of the first attack team.
The majority of the nearly two hundred high-ranking Awoken have gone out of contact or are potentially dead.
But that did not mean Japan’s defeat.
For the awakened powers, high-ranking awakened people were simply an abundant resource that could be drawn upon at any time.
Japan also had something to say.
Top 10 Guilds.
Even though the elite there gathered, the real ‘best’ ones did not gather.
Sakura Guild Leader was the strongest in the first attack team. Even she was only a guild leader ranked 8th.
But what about now?
All the top guild leaders, the so-called 10s, no, now that they’ve lost one and are now the 9th, have gathered.
Unlike the elite who were half-heartedly defeated, they were mobilizing the best of the best, close to their own personal guards.
Is that all?
Among those who were active as individuals, all of the Awakened ones who were doing well were summoned in the name of the country.
The number of people gathered like that was a whopping two thousand.
Both the quantity and quality were incomparable to those of the previous attack.
If by any chance this second attack team failed, this time it was a force that would shake all of Japan.
That’s why we couldn’t allow even the slightest variable.
Even Nakazawa, a retired Hall of Fame inductee and an awakened swordsman who once competed with the Korean swordsmanship, was summoned for an emergency meeting.
“It’ll just take a moment. Really… … .”
That was when.
“Chief! We’re in big trouble!”
“I told you not to come in unless it’s urgent… … No, what’s going on?”
“Come out for a moment and take a look at this! Hurry up!”
One of the team leaders hurriedly took out his cell phone and showed it to the head of the headquarters who came out.
On the screen.
There was some strange writing written on it.
[LIVE / Kim Min-woo]
[Hokkaido, I will save you.]
[3.537 million viewers]
“……uh?”
The chief blinked.
Even if you just look at it, the title is obviously shitty.
The familiar burning building forms are… … .
“Hey, isn’t that Sapporo?”
“Oh, that seems right.”
“What the f*ck! Is this the time to be answering something so stupid? How did that kid get into Hokkaido? What the hell was he doing at the immigration checkpoint?!”
“Oh, I checked and it looks like you didn’t come in through the airport.”
“Then what, you came across the sea? What did the Coast Guard do!”
“Look, Chief, you know that too. The security was tight. And, we shouldn’t be guarding against something that has already been breached. We need to resolve this immediately! If we continue like this, it could end up being broadcasted live all over the world… … .”
“What the heck!”
The chief slammed the table.
Even as he raged, the number of live viewers continued to grow like crazy. 4 million. 4.22 million… … .
I saw numbers rising to frightening levels.
―As you can see, Sapporo was completely burned down. Probably many civilians were killed. And yet! Japan refuses to accept moral aid from overseas. It is simply for the sake of achieving its own achievements! Is this the normal mindset of a superior?
‘X is done.’
Since he was a headquarters manager who had been rolling around as he pleased, he could tell at a glance what kind of nonsense Kim Min-woo was doing.
He was cleverly not insulting Japan, but his ‘higher ups’. Who was he referring to?
It was obvious.
Prime Minister Masato at the top.
It was a remark that targeted him.
―This past week. It must have been hell for the citizens of northern and central Hokkaido. But the Japanese government is still gathering its strength and dragging its feet in the lower regions.
The comments section is moving up so fast you can’t even see it.
Among them, there were many letters filled with clear anger. They were sentences written in very familiar Japanese.
– So, I came to help. As a friend of a neighboring country. I am Kim Min-woo. Then, shall we go and solve it?
“f*ck, f*ck! Send the Awakened ones out now! Right now!”
“Huh? Your Majesty the Sword Master… … .”
“You little punk, is that the problem right now? If you keep doing that, it’ll be a problem if he dies, and it’ll be a problem if you catch him!”
Live viewers number in the millions.
What if Kim Min-woo dies?
It would be natural for them, who have already been framed as the ‘incompetent Japanese government and the awakened’, to be criticized.
The worst is… … .
‘If that bastard Kim Min-woo solves the problem of the Spirit King like that… … .’
Japan was truly finished that day.
No, we should see that all government personnel appointments, including those under Prime Minister Masato, have been completely destroyed.
Even in Korea, where he is already in the position of a younger sibling, he came alone and solved it as if it were nothing.
Just looking at this, it’s obvious that the Prime Minister should be impeached!
Bam!
The office door opened.
“Chief. There’s no time. We’ll go first. If you stop me, I won’t stay still.”
The Katana Guild Master speaks with a wickedly distorted face.
It seemed like he also heard the news from the live broadcast.
“Go, go! Quickly! Take them all with you!”
“It feels a little bit better now. Did you hear everything? Everyone, run with all your might! Don’t hold back on your mana!”
“yes!”
Everyone growled.
A cocky bastard who lumps them together and criticizes them. I had no intention of letting him steal my prey.
