Damn Necromancer (65)
Testing Ground (2)
[You have entered ‘Opensia Arena’.]
A huge Colosseum.
Many races were seen sitting in the stands. In the middle of the arena, a fierce battle was taking place between the Lizardmen and the gnolls.
-okay! Go mongo! Poke it hard!
-Smelly bastard! Kill it!
―Kalex! Don’t lose! I bet you my daily wage today!
A gnome called Kalex was seen pushing the Lizardman.
He was locked in a small prison on the ground of the arena.
at that time.
An old gnome approached the prison.
The gnome standing in front of the iron bars spoke with his yellow teeth showing.
“Seeing how stupid you are, you’re a rookie. “Is this your first time doing something like this?”
“who are you.”
“me? He’s your supervisor. Why did a weak human come here… … “Has it been sold?”
“Well, I guess so.”
“Tsk. This is why they are humans. Well, that’s it. The next game is your turn. If you don’t want to die, at least struggle. I don’t know if it will work, but… … .”
The gnome is looking this way with his tongue clenched in regret.
“Who is your opponent?”
“Caligo.”
“What is that?”
“Ha, you don’t know ‘Butcher’ Caligo? This guy is really serious. “He’s a troll who destroys the heads of rookie gladiators like you.”
It’s a troll.
Average level between 200 and 250.
It is roughly a C-class mid-to-upper level monster.
‘If I catch him, will I pass the test?’
Is this a diamond?
… … Is it too easy?
I tilted my head.
I don’t know how he interpreted that, but the gnome looked at me with sad eyes.
“Hey, don’t trolls know? “Are you stuck in a mountain valley somewhere?”
“I know.”
Soon after.
ah! Kalex player! He broke Gomongo’s head in one fell swoop with his mace! What a great fight!
A Gnoll raising its hand above a Lizardman with an exploded head.
I could see the audience responding like crazy.
“I guess it doesn’t matter if I kill you?”
“Would you think about something like that in an illegal dumping ground like this? Choose well. If he had signaled his surrender quickly… … “You will be thrown out as dog food.”
“Of course.”
Soon the gnome opened the cell door.
“good. “Just try to survive if possible.”
The gnome handed me a sword.
‘Come to think of it… … .’
You don’t have a sword here?
Not only the sword but all weapons were disarmed.
[‘Beginner – Diamond’ difficulty test begins!]
[Step 1: Defeat ‘Butcher’ Caligo.]
[‘Diamond’ difficulty level.]
[Difficulty correction begins!]
[Level 1]
[One. Caligo’s stamina increases by 300%.]
[2. Existing weapons cannot be used.]
[3. Consumables cannot be used.]
[4. Skill cannot be used.]
“Is it like this?”
Minwoo Kim nodded as if it was no big deal.
I knew it.
It seemed like there might be some kind of limitation.
It really was there.
I can’t use consumables like potions, I have no equipment, and I can’t use skills.
In addition, the enemy’s stamina increases.
Still, it didn’t matter.
Armed?
Just one sword was enough. Just because the troll’s stamina has increased doesn’t mean his sword won’t get stuck.
If it were an ordinary necromancer, he would have shed tears of blood because he couldn’t use his skills, but Minwoo Kim was different.
He is an irregular who cuts with a sword even without any skills.
―This player is a newcomer competing in the arena for the first time! I am a person named ‘Kim Min-woo’! That opponent is… … !

Soon, the iron bars on the other side swung open.
Cooung.
Cooung.
A huge troll with a body of nearly 5 meters walked out.
And with a vicious mace in his hand.
―Caligo, the ‘butcher’ who cut down the bodies of countless new recruits!
―Wow!
―Haha, the result is obvious at first glance, right?
-I’m betting that a human can last less than 1 minute!
-Then I have 1 minute and 30 seconds!
The audience responded enthusiastically. The content was generally similar. They want to bet on how many minutes Caligo will destroy this side.
He was literally a gambler to his core.
-okay? Then I’ll go to the station! 1 ruble if humans win!
―Would you like to bet 1 ruble? Isn’t this completely crazy?
The crowd roars.
Only Kim Min-woo laughed.
‘I won the lottery.’
No matter how much I think about it, I can’t imagine it.
This side loses.
There was no need to summon a skeleton.
till now.
-then! Let the match begin!
Duung!
The sound of drums rings out.
The troll came rushing forward.
Huh!
A mace that is swung powerfully.
“Tsk.”
After jumping slightly and landing on the mace.
I ran over the handle, jumped on the guy’s shoulder, and stabbed him in the neck.
The sword gently cut into the flesh, breaking the bones and piercing the entire neck at once.
-Gruck!
A troll trying to hit its neck with its palm as if swatting away a mosquito.
I swung my sword over the approaching palm. Two of his fingers were cut off and a fountain of blood poured out. His remaining fingers hit his neck, but Kim Min-woo was no longer there.
Before I knew it, I was jumping over my head.
Because he had a sword deeply embedded in the top of his head.
Have a lot of stamina?
If your brain is shattered, it is meaningless. The troll, who had been staggering, jerked and fell down.
At most 10 seconds since the battle started.
The troll died in just that amount of time.
―… … uh?
The host looked embarrassed and closed his eyes.
―… … Ki, Minwoo Kim wins! He killed Caligo with the force of a lightning bolt! Is this the birth of a new super rookie?!
-My money!
-Hey, you crazy human being!
-You guys are just trying to make money!
The gamblers who suddenly became beggars went crazy.
Caligo, the rookie slayer.
The new gladiator had a hundred heads in the Caligo line.
Of course I bet on Caligo.
But, it turned out to be the opposite?
Glow or not.
Minwoo Kim stared at the host.
―If it ends like this, it won’t be fun at all! Caligo is, at best, a gatekeeper! Let’s take the second player right away!
[Step 2: Defeat the ‘Steel Ogre’ Turk.]
[‘Diamond’ difficulty level.]
[Difficulty correction begins!]
[Step 2]
[One. Turk’s stamina increases by 300%.]
[2. Existing weapons cannot be used.]
[3. Consumables cannot be used.]
[4. Skill cannot be used.]
[5. Random curse activated.]
Soon after.
[The Curse of Patience is applied!]
Starting from the fingers, over the arms and up to the whole body. Suddenly my whole body started to tingle. It felt like bugs were crawling on my skin.
It tickles so much that you want to roll your whole body on the floor right now.
Minwoo Kim chewed his lips.
‘Holy shit.’
This was my first time experiencing such an unfamiliar curse. I tried scratching his arm once, but the tickling did not go away at all.
On the contrary, it became more severe.
He was sweating coldly and looked ahead. Before I knew it, the iron bars opened and a huge ogre was walking out.
Ogres are monsters one level higher than trolls. In addition, his entire body was heavily armed with steel.
-Whoa!
The ogre holding an iron club shouted harshly. The odds this time are 7:3.
Still, there were many gamblers who wanted to bet on the ogre.
The Turk, with cheers on his back, glared at us.
-human! kill! Tear it to shreds!
―Will this new recruit be able to defeat even the infamous Ogre Turk? The game begins!
thud. thud.
An ogre running tough.
[The ‘Law of Victory’ is activated!]
[All abilities increase by 10%!]
[All damage increases by 10%!]
The guy hit the iron club with all his might. A strike with much faster speed and greater power than a troll.
That didn’t change the results. I approached the guy’s leg, avoiding the swinging iron club.
Even though iron was added to various parts of the body, it did not cover the entire body.
He plunged the knife into the empty Achilles tendon as if chopping firewood.
puck!
A sword embedded so deeply that half of the bone is exposed. The ogre stumbled and struck with his club.
Coo!
It was a missed swing this time too.
‘My legs start crunching.’
Triple stamina.
There was steel wrapped around parts like the head and heart.
It will take time to break through.
The first thing to do was block the movement.
I took another picture of the area I had taken a picture of.
[This is an overlapping attack!]
[Damage increases by 11%!]
[The ‘snapping only one spot’ effect is activated!]
[Additional damage is inflicted!]
[This is an overlapping attack!]
[Damage increases by 22%!]
[‘Just one place… … .]
.
.
Thanks to the title, additional damage is applied every time an overlapping attack is made.
After about three shots, one of its feet was completely cut off.
-Whoa!
An ogre falls down while crying mournfully. It was lightly cooked.
It took just two minutes for the sword to sink into the guy’s head.
‘I’m in a cold sweat.’
Not because it’s hard, but because it tickles.
The damn curse has finally been lifted.
I looked at the host.
-The Turks… … I collapsed! This might be the birth of a huge new face today! Minwoo Kim, would you like to proceed with the next game?
Nod.
It was that moment.
[I got a perfect score up to step 2!]
[It is impossible to measure your limits with ‘Diamond’ difficulty!]
[Hidden difficulty level is unlocked!]
[The special route of ‘Test’ is now open!]
[Among these, you can ‘nominate’ the following players.]
[One. ‘Black Knight’ Idric]
[A masked knight, known as the strongest player in the Offencia arena. This is a player who would not normally appear, but you may be able to call him now. However, the difficulty increases when selected.]
[2. ‘Cerberus’ Sastera]
[He is a Cerberus species and is one of the players active in the Offensia Arena.]
[3. ‘Chain Scythe’ Jamerson]
[He is a player who is incredibly good at using the chain scythe.]
.
.
All kinds of lists came to mind.
The player who stood out the most among them was Idric.
This is a player who doesn’t normally appear.
‘The level of difficulty is probably high.’
The reward will be greater. Because it’s a kind of hidden route.
‘Then you should do it.’
The hidden route is there to be conquered. Minwoo Kim was not the type of person to avoid things like this.
He said while looking at the host.
“Black Knight Idric. “I think you have to be at that level to be my opponent.”
―… … .
Silent host.
If I had said something like that without showing anything, I would have been scolded, but now it was different.
Newcomer Shredder Caligo.
In addition, even mid-level players easily caught the harpooning Ogre Turk without using any effort.
If a mediocre player was sent out, the outcome was clearly determined.
-Call Idrik?
-This is going to be really fun!
-Hey, host! If you stop this, you really have no sense!
The host, who was looking at the crowd going crazy, nodded.
―… … All right! Let’s bring the players! The best player in our Offensia arena!
After waiting for a while, the host came back accompanied by someone.
―Let me introduce you! I’m sure the audience remembers this player’s nickname, right?
―Black Knight! It’s the black knight!
-Finally, there will be a game worth watching!
Cheering crowd.
The grinning host nodded.
―Black Knight Idric! He decided to step up and take on the rookie! Everyone, please cheer with applause!
Amidst enthusiastic cheers, the Black Knight walked forward.
‘It looks unique.’
He looked like a typical knight, but had an iron mask on his face.
[A special route has been opened!]
[* warning! The difficulty level changes from ‘Diamond’ to ‘Murderous’!]
[* ‘Murderous’ difficulty level.]
[Step 3: Last 3 minutes against ‘Black Knight’ Idric.]
[Difficulty correction begins!]
[‘Murderous’]
[One. Existing weapons cannot be used.]
[2. Consumables cannot be used.]
[3. Skill cannot be used.]
[4. Activates 2 random curses.]
[5. All of ‘Idric’s’ abilities increase by 100%.]
[6. All abilities of ‘Kim Min-woo’ are fixed at 100.]
They told me to endure it for 3 minutes and I wondered what was murderous.
On this side, the ability level is fixed at 100, but on that side, it has doubled.
It will be higher level than the ogre, so at best it will be in the mid 300s to 400s.
To put it another way.
This means that his strength and agility will probably exceed 800.
‘Put two curses on it?’
and.
It’s really murderous, right?
So it was actually good.
Honestly, it’s been a bit boring so far.
Now it seemed like it was going to be a bit more fun.
