Money-grubbing Necromancer (226)
The ultimate weapon of the hemp world.
Since the structure was such that the damage would be dispersed as the range widened, the range was made as narrow as possible. Just enough to fit Baal and other overlords.
Of these, the one with the most concentrated firepower was definitely Baal.
I heard that the number one spot before coming was different.
‘surely.’
It’s not just the three heads, it’s also the tremendous momentum.
He seemed much stronger than the other overlords. That’s why I focused on Baal.
And, the performance of the decisive weapon is… … .
[Great Monarch ‘Agares’ has fallen into eternal sleep!]
[The Great Monarch ‘Gamigin’ has entered eternal sleep!]
[The Great Monarch ‘Vasago’ is in eternal sleep… ]
One blow.
The three overlords caught in the explosion were killed. When the blast cleared, all that was left was Baal, who was badly wounded.
[Amazing achievement!]
[The overlord’s horde has been slaughtered!]
[Accounting for achievements… … .]
Even Baal was not in good shape. Two of his three heads had been blown away. All that remained was the humanoid head in the center. The legs attached to his body had become limp and flabby, like a squid that had lost its strength.
―… … West, Holy Blood?
Baal was terrified.
That which is called the blood of God.
It was no different from poison to the beings of the demon world. The explosive filled with the energy of the Holy Blood exploded.
There was no time to defend myself because it exploded right in front of my nose. My insides were completely destroyed.
The insides were melting, the blood was hardened like a solid, and even the brain was not intact. More than half of it was blown away by the explosion.
If it weren’t for his boundless vitality, he would have died long ago.
-You look great, you son of a bitch! Die!
The Balkans rushed in.
The fire demon struck Baal’s helpless body with all his might.
* * *
It wasn’t just the great monarchs who gathered in the Four Lords’ domain.
Because their armies were also moving together.
It was qualitatively and numerically different from the armies of the lower lords.
The number was close to 200,000, and the upper class demons were swarming about. Such a huge army was resting while setting up barracks.
Then suddenly I felt something strange.
A flock of Balrogs flew in from afar.
The only Balkan mercenary bands that roamed the world in such large numbers were the Balkan mercenaries.
‘You came here?’
‘Are you crazy?’
Why did Baal send out another public notice to the entire demon world?
Moreover, if you bring a lot of numbers, they won’t say anything.
It was only around one hundred.
Even though each and every one of them was made up of strong soldiers, they were no match for numbers.
The great monarchs came out to greet them in person.
‘This expedition will end quickly.’
‘There’s nothing more to see.’
That’s what I thought.
Until just now.
-Hey, are you dead?
A huge explosion.
An eerily quiet silence followed. During this time, one of the demons spoke in confusion.
Those words were the thoughts of all the demons present at this place.
does not exist.
does not exist!
After the terrifying divine explosion that made people shiver, only Baal remained. And even Baal was collapsing helplessly.
I had no intention of helping at all.
Because the Demon World is a place where the strong reign supreme.
The reason they were loyal to their monarchs was because they were strong.
But now it’s different.
Who is the weaker one?
Humans and Balrog hordes?
Or the existing overlords who were swept away by the explosion, leaving no trace behind?
It was clearly the latter.
There… … .
―How much more of that kind of thing…?
Isn’t there a rule that says you can only use that kind of explosion once?
The moment they were swept away, they were finished.
This was the reason why the army hesitated even though Baal’s ideology to help them spread.
That was a fatal blow to Baal.

‘Weak.’
Number 1 in the Demon World?
At this very moment, it didn’t seem like that at all. Could it be because he was covered in so much holy blood? Baal was even weaker than Paimon.
On the other hand, Balkan, who ate the corpses of the three monarchs, and Kim Min-woo, who got the goods, had their specs greatly improved.
The battle was easy and smooth.
Especially when 200,000 troops have not joined.
―Hey, stop! Balkan! I will recognize you as a great monarch! I will grant you the largest territory of anyone! Human! You too… … .
I cut off Baal’s head as he played his wicked tongue. The head of the one remaining one rose high into the sky.
Wide open eyes.
The tongue still moves like a snake as if trying to continue speaking.
That was the end of Baal.
[Overlord Baal has fallen into eternal sleep!]
[You have achieved the impossible feat!]
[The order of the Demon World is being reorganized!]
[You are a ‘human’!]
[According to the laws of the Demon God, you cannot ascend to the position of monarch!]
[Other rewards are given!]
‘Impossible feat?’
I’ve only seen that phrase once.
when?
In the past, while playing as ‘Kim Min-woo’, I reduced the Dragon Lord’s HP to 63% at level 200.
‘Then we negotiated a 50% discount.’
What appeared then was an incomprehensible achievement. While I was thinking about it for a moment, a message came to mind.
[Rewards for hunting Baal and other high-ranking overlords will be settled in a consolidated manner!]
[The ‘Crown of the Death Emperor’ is granted!]
Swish.
A crown was placed upon his hand. It was a crown with a diamond in the shape of a skull in the center.
“……uh?”
Kim Min-woo opened his eyes wide.
This crown was something I had seen a lot of.
“Death Lord?”
He always had a jeweled crown on his head. And that crown was… … .
‘It’s the same?’
It had exactly the same appearance as the one I was holding in my hand right now.
So, could this be the crown used by the Death Lord?
I looked into the details right away.
[Crown of the King of Death]
[Rating: Mythic]
[A crown used by a legendary ruler long ago. Maximizes the power of a necromancer.]
[Effect 1. All abilities +300]
[Effect 2. ‘Legion Aura’ always applied – A buff is given when summoning undead.]
[Effect 3. Can use ‘Emperor’s Power’ – Once a month, increase the abilities of all summons by 200%.]
[Effect 4. ‘Treasure Trove of Knowledge’ – Various undead production techniques are activated in your mind.]
[Effect 5. ‘Breathtaking Majesty’ – Most undead will not be able to escape your rule.]
[Effect 6. ???]
.
.
[* The true power of the crown is still sealed. If certain conditions are met, a more powerful power may be awakened.]
“Crazy, crazy!”
Kim Min-woo’s eyes sparkled more than ever.
myth!
This was the second mythic item I saw while playing the game.
Even this… … .
‘It’s much better than what I’ve seen before, isn’t it?’
The mythical item I had checked once in the past was a sword.
‘The Sword of Durandal.’
I remember it as a sword with amazing abilities and divine effects.
I could confirm it.
That’s on a higher level than this crown.
A crown truly specialized for the undead.
It was an item of majesty worthy of the Death Lord.
Even this… … .
‘It’s not even fully effective yet.’
It’s a growth item!
This means that there is a high possibility that it will rise to a level higher than a myth.
‘Because the stage has become wider.’
It’s said that the myth level is the end in the game, but is it really the end of the myth level? Wasn’t it because the stage was small that only myths appeared?
Suddenly, that thought crossed my mind.
‘Anyway, one thing is certain.’
This is a crazy steal.
A crazy item that is comparable to, if not superior to, the Vulcan that can be considered the spoils of this expedition.
That was this crown.
“Ha, you go out now.”
[‘Evil Corpse Summoner’s Helm’ is unlocked!]
A unique helmet for tinkering.
Since I didn’t have any decent equipment, I took off the 120 billion won helmet that I had bought at the auction house and was wearing.
There’s no need for this anymore.
Because I found the ultimate graduation item that will stay with me for the rest of my life!
[Wear the crown of the Death Emperor!]
[* Special event occurs!]
[* You are the successor to the Death Lord, the Emperor of Death!]
[* The successor inherited his first equipment!]
[* I feel a strange attraction. It seems like his legacy still remains… … .]
[* Quest, ‘I am inheriting the throne, father’ is activated!]
[Quest: I am on my way to the throne, Father]
[Category: Special Quest]
[* Find the Death Lord’s legacy that spread throughout all dimensions.]
[* Current Legacy (1/10)]
[* Resonance occurs when the heritage approaches.]
[* When all the legacies are found, the ‘New Order’ will be reorganized.]
Phew, phew.
The message is so sparkly, it takes my breath away.
‘The Legacy, a total of ten?’
I quickly recalled Death Lord’s past appearance.
A pitch-black robe.
A jeweled crown.
A skull ring sparkling on her finger.
A large jeweled necklace.
Even a long cane.
There were five main things that came to mind.
‘There’s more here, right?’
Inside the thick robe, there must have been treasures overflowing.
Since the equipment is so varied, I’m not sure exactly what the 10 items consist of…
‘I will definitely find it.’
What if they are all mythical?
If you find everything, it wouldn’t be strange at all if the ‘new order’ was reorganized.
Here are 10 things that are mythical, or more than that?
It wouldn’t be strange even if I beat them all up and broke them.
I called Merhen and Cedric.
“how is it?”
-Is that… … Lord’s crown?
“that’s right.”
―… … Now you’re finally starting to feel more like the owner.
Cedric pauses for a beat before finally speaking.
On the other hand, Merhen hesitated without answering.
“Merchen?”
-Oh, yeah!
“Is there a problem?”
-No, it’s just. It’s like… … an atmosphere that makes it difficult to… … talk… .
Breathtaking majesty.
Is it because of the crown’s effect?
The guy who was usually as sociable as a puppy was struggling to stick around and was just whining.
‘How can I not give it to you?’
It was the moment I made up my mind.
[‘Breathtaking Majesty’ is diminished!]
The atmosphere between Merhen and Cedric brightened significantly.
I guess this was more comfortable.
-Hehehe!
Merhen crossed her arms in an instant.
“Are you feeling more comfortable now?”
―Yeah! I don’t think you should use the Lord’s energy too much. Hae-il and the others might get scared.
“I’ll keep that in mind.”
Fortunately, the situation is controllable.
If the commander of the legion feels this much pressure… … .
As Merhen said, normal undead might not even be able to breathe.
‘It’s questionable whether the undead can even breathe in the first place.’
Well, whatever.
It seemed like it would be okay to only use my dignity when necessary.
-human being.
“huh?”
-What are we going to do now?
Balkan came and asked.
In the place the guy pointed, there was a huge army of nearly 200,000 people lined up.
They all looked terrified.
“You said you wanted to be a monarch.”
-That’s right.
“I can’t do it anyway because I’m human. So, you do it. Your Majesty.”
-Really?
“Then, it’s true.”
I’ve already gotten the crown and I’m about to burst. The throne? Even if I were to give you a hundred of those, would that compare to one crown?
“Can you do it?”
-Of course. Now, there will be no one to oppose.
Qualifications of the Demon Lord.
Power is power, but it requires the consent of three other monarchs.
But, all the top vested interest groups who gritted their teeth and opposed it are dead.
In the past, it was possible to tolerate opposition from other men, but is it possible now? With all the high ranking monarchs, including Baal, dead?
“That army is now yours. Go. Prove it. Take your place.”
– Huh! That’s what I’m thinking! I’ll show those bastards the power of Balrog!
The Balkans approached with a formidable force.
And then he gave a speech.
-Will you come under me? Or will you die like those guys?
A very brief speech.
The answers of those who were hesitating in battle were already decided.
-I pledge my loyalty to Lord Balkan!
-Please save me!
An army of 200,000 men was created under his command.
The end of this journey was approaching.
Now all that remained was for the Balkan monarch to ascend to the throne.
