Damn Necromancer Chapter 229

Money-grubbing Necromancer (229)

Lee Seo-yoon

―Ouch! Stop it! I said stop it!

Bigi, summon infinitely and defeat it.

It’s been a long time since Cedric.

‘You’ve really leveled up a lot.’

It was level 1 back then.

It’s now at level 645.

Of course, the abilities of the legion commanders were not easy either. Even the freshly summoned Vulcan had abilities approaching 2,000, so that says it all.

‘But, it doesn’t mean anything.’

There is only one Balkan, but here there are three, including the legion commander.

They were also well-armed legion commanders. There was no way a newly summoned guy could win.

Cedric’s spear, branched into dozens of branches, checks Vulcan’s movements.

The magic filled with Merhen’s resentment struck Balkan’s body.

―Why on earth are you doing this! I promise to be loyal! I mean it!

“I know. I’m being sincere.”

After showing the ball invitation.

There seems to have been a change in Balkan’s mind, and his loyalty has increased considerably.

From 52 to 72.

“But, it’s not enough.”

―… …Not enough?

“I want perfect loyalty.”

Loyalty 100.

It’s like putting a perfect seal on a slave contract.

Kim Min-woo wanted it.

‘Just in case.’

What if you make him the Demon Lord when his loyalty isn’t 100, and then he changes his mind?

I’m getting tired.

Because anything below 100 is a possibility of betrayal.

‘Then that won’t work.’

He is already a strong commander.

Given the power of the Demon Lord, it wouldn’t be surprising if he had different thoughts.

That’s why.

Performing the infinite summoning ritual.

At least you have to get to 100 before you go to the masquerade ball.

It was at that time that my loyalty was rising as I was being summoned back dozens of times.

-Sleep tight!

The Balkans cried out.

Then he looked at Kim Min-woo with glaring eyes and said.

-I know what you want.

“What is that?”

-You don’t want a slave contract?

“There’s also a nice saying called ‘pledge of allegiance.’”

– That’s it! Good! I’ll do it! But, you also set a condition!

“condition?”

―Yes. You must make me the greatest demon lord. The deadline is 5 years! If you agree, I will work under you like a dog. I will do anything you tell me to do! But! If you can’t do it, it’s a breach of contract. I will never work under you again! Are you still willing?

Kim Min-woo thought about it for a moment.

Of course, you can just pass and increase loyalty. But that’s not a perfect solution.

There are bound to be some who never bow their heads.

‘It’ll take a while to upload the pass, right?’

The Vulcans have already fallen to the Death Lord.

So, if there is no solid promise, it will be difficult to give in easily.

I had to attend a masquerade ball in a week, and I didn’t have much time.

Then what should we do?

We have to compromise.

instead…….

“Instead of 5 years, make it 7 years.”

-7 years?

“It’s only been two years, so it doesn’t matter. Balrog isn’t a one-off species.”

Block foreign news within 7 years.

It was knowledge that only he knew.

‘This is how it’s safe.’

He was going to make Balkan the Demon Lord. However, Kim Min-woo didn’t really know ‘how’ to do it.

They say there is a battle of ranks between monarchs.

Aren’t the Balkans not a monarchy right now?

So, the first thing to do was to have him ascend to the throne, but it was still unclear how to do that.

‘Should I kill all the monarchs above?’

Or is there another way?

Since I don’t know how to do it, I have no choice but to put a safety device on for now. I will try to keep it, but if that doesn’t work out, I will at least have to stay together until I catch the foreign news.

-Okay! Seven years! Do you want to sign the contract?

[Your summoner, ‘Vulcan’, proposes a contract!]

[‘Temporary Oath of Allegiance’]

[Condition: Make Balkan the #1 Demon Lord within 7 years.]

[If you fail to keep it, the summoning contract will be terminated!]

[Do you agree?]

“I agree.”

[The contract has been established!]

[Balkan’s Loyalty increases to 100!]

[Now, if it is your order, Balkan will gladly jump into hell!]

-Huh? Minwoo. So I can’t vent my anger anymore?

“No? It’s even easier? Attention, Vulcan.”

widely!

The feet of the Balkans were firmly together.

He was seen standing at attention with great restraint.

-This guy, no way… … .

“From now on, call me the owner, not this guy.”

-Master, no way… … .

“I heard that Merhen is still angry, so just take it quietly.”

-Oh, shit… … !

That was when.

Merhen’s eyes lit up ominously.

―Minwoo too, isn’t it annoying to keep summoning me while I’m here?

“I’m fine.”

-No. It’ll be uncomfortable. You don’t have to do that anymore. I can scold you in some other way.

She waved her hand away.

That was the moment.

Around the Balkans, so many brushwoods were created that there was no room for water leakage.

-You, I will get revenge.

Balkan’s face turned pale as he saw thousands of brushes slowly approaching.

– Hey, wait a minute. Stop! What the hell are you trying to do… … .

-Tickle tickle.

―Huh! That kind of tickling has no effect on this Vulcan!

-Even like this?

One of the brushes grazed my toe.

That was the moment.

-Phew, puhahahaha!

The Balkans burst into flames.

– Found it. You, your toes are weak?

―Hey, stop… … Kyaaaaak!

The Balkans screamed.

I tried to move my body due to the terrible tickling sensation, but my body wouldn’t move at all.

It was because the owner’s attention-grabbing posture did not loosen.

-Minwoo, you can go now. Do what you have to do.

“Uh… … Okay. Give him water every now and then. If you keep doing that, his salivary glands will dry up.”

– Hehe. Okay.

-Master, don’t go! Let me live! Tell him to hit me instead!

“Sorry. That’s just more annoying.”

If you beat him and catch him, you have to summon him again.

Yeah, you shouldn’t have held a grudge.

There, Merhen is not only much higher in rank than Vulcan, but is also one of the key summoners that has been active so far.

If you ask who I take care of between a newbie and a veteran, it’s obviously the latter.

‘I guess I should go and see Choi Yu-na.’

An alchemist who lives in the basement of a house.

I happened to get quite a few recipes this time.

* * *

“Hee, heeeeek!”

Choi Yu-na rolled her eyes.

The recipes pouring out before my eyes were not just one or two.

[Recipe – Obtained Abyssal Insight Potion (Legend)]

[Recipe – Obtain Baal’s Spirit (Ancient+)… … .]

[Recipe – Obtain Hellfire Refined Spirits (Legend)… … .]

.

.

.

Potions and elixir recipes, all with unusual names.

“Awesome! Awesome!”

My eyes widen as if I had taken a stimulant, and my mouth waters as if I had chewed a lemon.

For an alchemist, a precious recipe was worth its weight in gold.

Moreover, the grade was also not bad.

‘Oh, ancient times?’

Starting from the lowest Unique level, all the way up to the rare Legendary level… … .

There were also ancient recipes that were only released in very small quantities!

Just looking at the examples from the United States, we can see how precious each of these recipes is.

Top-tier elixir recipe.

This is a recipe obtained by the witch Christine, and it was very useful when the United States was leading the world hegemony.

It was once a very famous item that could not be bought even with money.

‘Of course it’s much less now… … .’

Limited to Korea, the rarity of the highest grade elixir was considerably low.

Thanks to Kim Min-woo’s efforts, it has become something that can be enjoyed at a relatively low price even in the top guilds.

Thanks to this, the US also changed its policy from providing aid only to its top allies to slightly lowering the standards and allowing it to be provided to other friendly countries as well.

Anyway.

A proper recipe has the power to change world order.

The recipes that Kim Min-woo is showing us now are also like that.

Just take the thing called Baal’s Aura…

[Recipe – Baal’s Spirit]

[Rating: Ancient+]

[Upon registration, you can learn the recipe for Baal’s spell.]

[Effect 1. When consumed, increases all abilities by 50. Up to ten can be consumed.]

[Effect 2. When 5 are consumed, special effect – ‘Baal’s Recovery Power’ is always activated.]

[Effect 3. When all ten are consumed, one of Baal’s skills is randomly generated.]

[Material List]

[1. Baal’s Bone 20mg.]

[2. Baal’s Tooth 6mg.]

[3. Five strands each from Baal’s three hairs.]

[4. 3 Hellfire Demon Flame Shards.]

[5. 5 horns of Baphomet.]

.

.

.

The materials were listed endlessly.

“… … Baal? What kind of monster is this?”

“It’s a kind of boss mob.”

“Ah… … Are you the boss of the Hidden Gate?”

“Similar. I have the materials in my inventory.”

“Then it’ll be hard to get more in the future? After all, once you enter and clear the hidden gate, it’s over… … .”

“Probably so.”

Choi Yu-na nodded as if she understood.

So, this can be seen as a line that only Kim Min-woo can provide.

It is a very high-level compatible spirit tablet with a limited quantity that cannot even be compared to the highest-level elixir.

The ability value increases, but why are there such strange effects as recovery and skills attached to just the level of Yeongdan?

“You really want me to give you these recipes? They look so precious… … .”

“I think so.”

Kim Min-woo nodded.

From the Insight Potion recipe obtained from the Abyssal Monarch’s Journey to the recipes obtained through this arrangement.

I was planning to give everything related to alchemy to Choi Yu-na.

‘As far as I know, he is the greatest alchemist.’

Korean alchemist Choi Yu-na.

Her skills and talent were by no means low. However, the reason she went unnoticed was ultimately because she didn’t have a good recipe.

Because all the recipes that seemed good got sucked into America.

That’s why the American witch Christine was so famous.

But now it was different.

While she was making the highest-grade elixirs, Choi Yu-na’s alchemy skills had improved considerably. This was the result of her natural talent and Kim Min-woo’s dedicated(?) support.

‘If you don’t give it to him, there are only two options left.’

first.

You can enter the Oak Gate using the ticket that is attached to your ‘Dragon and Witch’s Jewel’ necklace, which is valid once every three months.

There were many different races living there.

There are also elves, alchemy geniuses.

Give it to those elf alchemists.

‘But it’s ambiguous now.’

However, even though they were elves, their alchemy skills were not absolutely high. This was because the Caesar Continent had been completely destroyed.

All the successful alchemists were dead, and the conditions for properly utilizing alchemy were not there.

As time goes by and we reach the next generation, the next generation after that, the elves may also prosper… … .

‘Not yet.’

Right now, she’s worse than Choi Yu-na.

Since your skill level is low, even if you give me the materials and recipe, I’ll just break it and make it.

These were all precious materials, and failure would have been a catastrophic loss.

Another disadvantage was that you could only enter there once every three months.

What if I were to produce it and then go out?

Doesn’t that mean I have to go back and look for it again in three whole months?

‘Until then, just suck your thumb?’

No way.

That can’t be happening.

‘In that sense, even skeleton alchemists are useless.’

It’s only intermediate level at best.

If you practice making it, you’ll end up blowing up all the materials like an elf.

The ingredients for the high-level recipe were not easily available.

Even Baal’s bones and hair were like that at the time. Baal of the past was dead, and it was not known whether Baal of the present was alive or not.

Even if I’m alive, it’s best to save him just one more time…

“Huh?”

“Yes? Why are you doing that?”

“No, it’s not. I just suddenly had an inspiration.”

“… … Inspiration?”

“I guess I can raise it.”

“… … ?”

Choi Yu-na tilted her head at the incomprehensible monologue.

Raise it?

What are you growing?

In the meantime, Kim Min-woo’s thoughts continued endlessly.

The Vulcan title allows you to subjugate demons.

But isn’t Baal also a demon?

What if Baal is still alive and well?

‘Isn’t that a possibility?’

Balkan said he pulled a stone out of his own heart, threw it, and bounced back.

Then Baal would most likely have the stone and would have become much stronger… … .

‘There’s a high probability that he’ll be alive?’

Because the past of the arrangement does not affect the present.

If Baal is alive then… … .

‘Can I really raise it?’

After subduing Baal and raising him.

If you cut off a little bit of something like a bone or a tooth and leave it until it regenerates, wouldn’t it be infinitely replicable?

Because the devil’s recovery is fast.

‘Okay, keep it for now.’

I’ll have to go to the ball and see if he’s still alive.

Anyway.

It was too high a level of recipe to be left to a skeleton.

Of course, since it is a high level, if you try to make it, your proficiency will rise sharply, but it is not something you can just hand over just to raise your proficiency.

The most suitable person is… … .

‘Choi Yu-na, there is no other woman.’

Choi Yu-na is perfect because she is safe and less likely to betray others while living underground for 7 years.

If you register her first and let her make things, and then later let Choi Yu-na, who has become more skilled, train the skeleton alchemists, the picture will become truly beautiful.

Of course, in addition to these, there was a final, final, third option.

‘Oriental Witch’s Association.’

Hand it over to them.

They are witches.

A horde of monsters that roam across dimensions.

It goes without saying that Yuna Choi’s alchemy skills are far more overwhelming than hers.

What if Ananke himself uses alchemy?

The failure rate will be extremely low.

But this also had its problems… …

‘Communication is one-way.’

They were not beings that I could meet if I wanted to meet them.

There, Kim Min-woo did not 100% trust the Eastern Witches’ Association.

I just held hands because it was beneficial to do so.

You can’t entrust your valuables to an organization that is beyond your control.

so…….

“Really? I’m really signing up? I’m going to do it? Really?”

“That’s what I told you to do.”

Then Choi Yu-na’s body flashed.

Immediately, her eyes filled with joy. The priceless recipes were being registered in a hurry!

“Here are the ingredients. First, make Baal’s spirit tablet. As much as you can. Okay?”

“Yes, sir!”

I left the basement, leaving behind Choi Yu-na, who was giggling as if she was trying to take out the gall bladder. I left the automatic production macro running for now.

‘Now what I have to do is… … .’

The Crown of the Commander-in-Chief.

One of the features attached to this crown is… … .

[Effect 4. ‘Treasure Trove of Knowledge’ – Various undead production techniques are activated in your mind.]

This was it.

Since literally wearing the crown, numerous production techniques have emerged like a tidal wave.

“It reminds me of the old days.”

Long time ago when I was a newbie.

I entered the E-class gate, and a B-class assassin secretly followed me.

“Lee Seo-yoon.”

An awakened person who was nicknamed “Dark Shadow”.

Also, a psycho killer.

In the distant future, a talented assassin who disrupts the story at every turn.

But he died before his talent could blossom.

Faced with rotten water like yourself.

Her body was kept safely in the inventory.

The body was taken out.

A corpse with a lifeless face preserved in a state of shock.

A lot of inspiration came to my mind.

It all depends on what materials you should use and what type of undead you should create.

‘Shadow Walker.’

One of the hero-level undead of the assassin series.

I plan to generously pour out all the materials I have in my inventory.

As a necromancer’s shadow walker, not a shadow killing machine.

“It’s time to wake up, Lee Seo-yoon.”

Once again, it was time to open my eyes.
