Money-grubbing Necromancer (225)
-Kuaaah!
Two dragons howl, half of 605, rounded up to level 303.
I looked into the dragons’ abilities.
[Bone Dragon 1]
[Level: 303]
[Skills held: Breath (S), Dragon Magic (A)]
[Loyalty: 30]
[Strength: 606(+303)] [Agility: 606(+303)] [Health: 606(+303)] [Magic Power: 606(+303)]
‘oh.’
The first thing that caught my eye was its powerful abilities.
‘All abilities are doubled?’
High-ranking summoner special.
Receives a much higher ability multiplier per level up than a person (4).
The Bone Dragon received a power boost of 8 per stat, which was a much higher multiplier than that of a Lich or Death Knight.
‘Rich was a magic specialist, Death Knight was strong and agile.’
Did they both gain a total of 6 abilities per level up?
That would probably be the case.
On the other hand, the bone dragon is 8.
It was definitely a SS-grade summoned beast.
There is a 50% bonus to ability values due to the Death Lord title.
‘If you use bone exchange to equip weapons… … .’
It seemed like it would easily start with abilities exceeding 1,000. As soon as it was made, all abilities were in the 900s.
It was a summon that was truly close to evil.
I looked into the skills.
Breath is literally breath.
The dragon’s magic is… … .
[Dragon Magic (A): Handles A-class or lower magic of various attributes.]
This explanation was included.
To summarize in one line:
You could see it as a ‘summoned creature with a large body, good abilities, and the ability to breathe and use magic.’
Even in its current state, any A-class awakened person would be able to easily steam it.
“You two! Come to work.”
He wiggled his fingers forward.
-What?
The two dragons, who had been tilting their heads, approached with a thumping sound.
“You do Ilryong, you do Iryong.”
The two dragons were silent.
“What, you don’t like it?”
-Ugh!
I saw two dragons nodding roughly. They were glaring with blue eyes and snorting… … .
“Are you rebelling?”
-Krrrr… … .
The bone dragons growl as if they cannot accept their names.
‘They’re all just arrogant.’
Well, that’s true.
Even the mid-level summoners, the Durahan group, were like that. What about the Bone Dragon, which could be called the highest-level summoner?
By now, some f*cking asshole would probably be blabbering on about giving him such a weird name.
Of course, that doesn’t mean I had any intention of giving each object a name.
‘It’s annoying.’
I have more than one or two summoned creatures, so memorizing their names is a chore.
Although the Bone Dragon is quite strong, it is not a summoner that deserves that much effort.
“Merchen.”
-huh.
“You two dragons, teach me some magic. So that I can use it well.”
―Yeah! You two! From now on, I’m your teacher. Got it?
―… … .
The bone dragons, who had been tilting their heads, waved their hands.
It was a sudden attack.
Of course, it meant nothing to Merhen.
Kkwarung!
Two lightning bolts fell from the sky.
[Ilryong is summoned again!]
[Lee Yong-i is summoned!]
Because the two rebelling dragons were instantly summoned back.
-Can you call me again?
Less than three seconds after being summoned, the two dragons appeared again.
-You two! Who would hit the teacher?

Ouch!
The two dragons trembled.
The dragons glared at Merhen with very wary eyes.
But this time, I didn’t attack hastily. It was only one spell, but I felt a huge gap.
-Don’t do that again. Okay?
Nod.
-And, Minwoo is my master. So I should be loyal to him, right?
This dragon is the highest level summon.
He had considerable intelligence of his own.
The moment Merhen spoke, the hierarchy was organized in their heads.
Kim Min-woo 〉 Merchen 〉 Two Dragons.
[‘Ilryongi’s’ loyalty increases greatly!]
[‘Lee Yong-i’s’ loyalty is greatly… ]
This is subcontracting education.
The effect was perfect.
* * *
Found the Balkans.
The largest cave.
There was a pool of blood there.
The energy of Vulcan, who had absorbed all the corpses of the Demon Lords, had become much stronger than before.
Still, the guy’s face remained stiff.
-Human. Look at this. It is a public notice from Baal.
The guy handed me a piece of manuscript.
[Everyone will remember the terrible dark ages that Balrog ruled. I, Baal and the other great overlords, will make a grand decision and readily acknowledge the newly ascended great overlords… … The seven great overlords will quickly gather and subdue them once more… … .]
“So… … the punitive force has been copied?”
―… … Yes. I killed the three overlords, but it was meaningless. The 8th, 9th, and 10th took their places again. It seems Baal is serious about killing me. If not, he wouldn’t have acknowledged my position as overlord so quickly… … .
Balkan sighed.
I knew that monarchs would keep the Balrogs in check, but I didn’t know it would be to this extent…
After killing those three, I secretly thought something would change, but it didn’t.
The punitive force was still maintained, and it seemed that the upper overlords, including Baal, would not give up the Demon Stone.
“Let me see the map.”
Kim Min-woo, who had received the map from Balkan, examined the painting. The armies of the monarchs were marked here and there.
It seems like the gathering place has changed to a different place because Marbas’ territory was scorched…
“I got the answer.”
―… … Is there a way?
“This Baal guy here is the most persistent. He’s in first place, so he’s probably the spiritual pillar of the punitive force.”
-yes.
“The best defense is offense. Let’s take this guy down.”
―… …Shall we attack Baal first?
“Or, do you want to wait? Until they gather their troops and come up in strength?”
Balkan shook his head.
It was simple, but he wasn’t stupid. It was obvious that a long-term war was not the answer. The mercenary group was reduced to half while fighting the three overlords.
On the other hand, the punitive force will continue to increase in number if given time.
New overlords will join as well.
The only silver lining is that no other mid- to upper-tier demon lords have joined, so that says it all.
‘It must be because of that bastard’s greed… … .’
You can’t have an army for free.
As more demon lords join the fray, Baal’s promises will grow.
That’s probably why.
It’s just gathering the seven great monarchs.
Balkan looked at Kim Min-woo.
A plan that even the most radical and violent Balrog could not have thought of. The idea of striking down the number one demon lord first made his blood boil.
Baal gulped as he saw the boy’s confident appearance.
– By any chance… … can that earthquake be used again?
“No? You can’t use it. It has a cooldown. It’s long.”
The dice were not designed to be rolled right away if you wanted to roll them. If you roll them now, you get a bad luck adjustment.
In a battle against an already tough lord, you even get bad luck compensation?
It would be a suicide attempt, even if it meant exploding.
I didn’t think so.
―That’s… …not so good. Then what should I do? Even though I became stronger by eating corpses, Baal won’t be able to do anything about it.
“Is that all? Baal?”
―The number one in the hierarchy is no joke. I’ve only seen it a few times, but… … he’s the real deal. He’s a real deal, incomparable to the likes of Marbas. And Baal isn’t the only one there… … .
Vasago, second in the series.
Agares, 3rd in the hierarchy.
Up to 4th place in the sequence, Gamigin.
The high overlords were gathered near Baal. The new overlords who had just ascended the throne would also arrive soon.
The power gap is hopeless.
Yet the human appearance remained calm.
As if there were any means.
―… … Do you have any ideas?
“Because of you, I ended up investing in everything.”
-huh……?
“There is a way. It will require you to empty your pockets, though.”
The dice of fate (luck) can no longer be used.
So what’s left is… … .
‘It’s a nuclear bomb.’
That’s impossible with a normal nuclear bomb.
There are as many as four superior overlords.
‘A long-term war is sure to result in defeat.’
It has to be swept away in one breath in a short period of time.
From my inventory, I took out one of the tickets I had previously obtained.
[Item Grade Up Ticket]
[Rating: Special]
[A one-time ticket that can raise the level of an item. A very, very good box was secretly eaten and hidden. Someone might be desperately looking for it?]
[Effect 1. When used, increases the item’s grade by one level.]
Item grade up ticket.
There are no conditions for use.
That’s why I originally wanted to obtain and use mythic grade items.
Because then you never know what kind of monstrous item might appear.
‘But, I can’t use it like that.’
The highest grade item I have so far is an Ancient+ item.
myth?
I’ve only seen it once in over 15 years of playing this game. Seeing it there doesn’t mean I know how to get it.
If we leave it like this… … .
‘It’ll be difficult to escape completely from here, right?’
The cause of all this.
Baal and other high overlords.
In Kim Min-woo’s view, these guys were the privileged class and a group of rotten people.
The ascension of the monarch that the Balkans desire.
Balok’s prosperity.
Ultimately, this is all impossible unless we destroy this vested interest group.
At best, a compromise would be best.
‘If you compromise like that, it will only be a half-assed escape.’
I’m not satisfied with that.
Then I should write it.
It’s better than saving it and having it turn into shit.
The nuclear bomb is of ‘special’ class.
I’m a bit curious about what the next level is.
“But Balkan. Isn’t there anything like a ranking system here?”
―… … A battle of ranks?
“It’s a structure where the agents fight among themselves to raise the ranking of the monarchs.”
―What kind of child’s play is that? Why would you leave the hierarchy to a proxy?
Balkan tilted his head as if he was hearing it for the first time. It seemed that the ranking battle that Mr. Ahn had mentioned was something that would be born in the future.
Okay, that’s fine.
“I’ll take care of this cleanly. But you have to promise me one thing.”
-promise?
“Once this is done, you will be loyal to me.”
―… … To offer my loyalty?
“The ranks of the Balrogs will rise, and you will ascend to the throne. Is it difficult to receive such compensation?”
The reason why the Balkans, despite their overwhelming power, were unable to ascend to the throne was because they did not have the consent of other monarchs.
At least three monarchs had to agree for a new monarch to ascend the throne, but Balkan did not meet that condition.
But, would you be able to oppose it even if all the higher-ups, including Baal, were to die?
Probably not.
―Good! If it’s as you say, why would it be so hard to bow my head? I’ll do as you say!
“You promised?”
―Our Balrog will always keep his word once he says it!
good.
Success in securing loyalty.
* * *
Flutter!
Two giant bone dragons gallop across the sky of the Demon Realm, followed by a horde of Balrogs.
‘It’s comfortable when you have a break.’
I am a vehicle.
The so-called flight.
It is a summoner that can truly change your life.
It was the same inside the gate.
There aren’t many monsters that usually attack in the air.
A comfortable ride is guaranteed.
The Bone Dragon was also a summon that guaranteed such comfort.
Of course, there are monsters that fly in the sky in the Demon World too.
[Ilryong uses his breath!]
[Lee Yong-i breathes… … .]
Phew!
Black flames spewed out from his mouth, and the monsters blocking his path fell like flies.
“Oh, this is it.”
There’s something about Merhen lifting you into the air that’s fun in its own way, but is it as good as climbing onto the head of a bone dragon?
At this moment, I can’t help but think about all the sports cars that are overflowing in my garage.
This was a man’s dream.
-Look, I see the army!
Kalung shouted.
I saw barracks literally packed like ants.
4th in the hierarchy, Gamigin’s territory.
It was the place where the great overlords, including Baal, were newly gathering.
The owners came out in person to greet their guests.
Four demon lords, emitting enormous aura, soared into the sky.
Closing the distance was a snap.
Baal.
It was a demon with the head of a cat, a human, and a frog. Looking at it this way, it could be said that it resembled Lerouye, who had three heads, but it might be rude to compare her to her.
But still, all three of Lerouye’s heads were beautiful.
The body resembled a spider, with dozens of legs attached to it.
Vasago.
He looked like an old man, skinny as a skeleton.
Agares.
It was a demon that resembled a giant crocodile.
It’s a mess.
It resembled a huge horse with a black body. The four demons stared at Vulcan with blazing eyes.
That too for a moment.
Baal, who came forward, spoke as a representative.
-I heard. A human has joined the Balrog horde. You are that ‘variable’.
“Variable?”
―Yeah. You’re a variable. Even if those idiots had acted alone, they wouldn’t have been able to defeat that bunch of idiots. But they were. So aren’t you a variable?
Then Baal said:
―What do you want? Power? Position? Money? Treasure? Eternal life? Desire? What did Balkan promise you?
Immediately afterwards, the four great monarchs glared at Kim Min-woo as if they were searching for him.
-I’ll give you what you want. Everything except the Stone of the Demon.
That was the moment.
[The basic conditions for escape have been met!]
[If you pray for Balrog’s safety with a ‘wish’, you can escape this place!]
[Would you like to escape now?]
[If you decline, escape will be disabled again!]
aha.
What Baal wants is the stone of the demon.
Instead of throwing this away, it seemed like he would grant just about any wish.
So the basic conditions for escape have been met.
“What do I want?”
-Yes. This is an opportunity. Especially for you, a human being.
“It’s simple. Everything.”
I want an overwhelming reward that encompasses everything.
That was it, that was all.
[Elu’s Tears are activated!]
[The ‘miracle’ is activated!]
[Has a cooldown of one month!]
A miracle effect attached to the ring.
There… … .
[Use the item level up ticket for the ‘Nuclear Bomb’!]
The moment you hit the level-up ticket.
[‘Special’ grade grows into ‘Special’ grade!]
[The power of ‘miracle’ is contained!]
[Obtain the Demon World Decisive Weapon (x1)!]
The results came out.
[The Demon World’s Decisive Weapon]
[Rating: Special]
[A mysterious bomb. Filled with holy blood that is fatal to demons. A true disaster for the demon world.]
[Effect 1. Detonates by specifying a range. The wider the range, the more the damage spreads.]
[Effect 2. Does not cause damage to the user or allies.]
[Would you like to blow it up now?]
He nodded.
That was the moment.
Pfft!
A pure white light so bright that they could not open their eyes swept through all the overlords.
