Episode 158.
The effect of the ice flow was clear.
[Gives ‘Slow’ to the same target for a certain amount of time.]
No matter how many you encounter, they all slow down, making it easier to avoid their attacks.
It was also easy to secure a position that would not be surrounded.
It wasn’t a threat to be surrounded anyway, but it was true that hunting was easier.
[Long exposure to ice flow causes the abnormal condition ‘Frostbite’.]
[Attacks frozen enemies, dealing additional damage.]
[The troll in the Blue Forest has been defeated.]
Those that are slowed down like that can’t run away and just flounder around, and when they freeze, they die after a few swings of the sword.
-Wow… … . They’re really eating me alive. I can’t watch it, the trolls are too pitiful.
-Let’s go.
-Your Majesty, you are growing steadily.
It was so pitiful that they covered their eyes, saying they couldn’t bear to look at Jihad.
Even Eliza seemed to agree, following Jihad and covering her eyes with her small hands.
Crunch-
Of course, Do-hyeon didn’t care.
Dohyun, who had hunted ten more trolls, put Cheonbyeon in.
“The performance is certain.”
I decided that this was enough to confirm.
Indeed, having used it myself, I can say that the versatility of ice magic is incredible, just as I had heard.
It wasn’t for nothing that those who confronted Lepias hurled abuse at him.
‘But he is a wizard after all.’
He is also an ice magician who cannot produce explosive power.
Even if he used it, it was difficult, but when Do-Hyeon, armed with all kinds of melee skills including the ability to grab from behind, used it, it showed truly crazy performance.
If you’re going to Chuno, then Chuno. If you’re going to run away, then run away.
It shows excellent effect in all situations.
‘The key is how well it will work for the boss.’
Bosses usually have higher racial stats, that is, higher ranks than regular monsters.
This was the reason why the effect was halved even when using the same status effect or attack skill.
It remained to be seen whether the Ice Stream would be of any use to them.
‘By the way, no one is attacking me today.’
Do-hyeon glanced around and looked puzzled.
Whenever I came to a new city, there were always hyenas that would rush at me as if it were an initiation ceremony.
This time, for some reason, those guys weren’t there.
Is it because of the spread of the outlaw video, or is it because the name Kaiser has become more popular?
‘It’s faster than expected, but it’s to be expected.’
I don’t know if it would be different if it were a guild unit.
Now, Do-Hyeon’s achievements were not low enough for hyenas to target.
It was a good change, but I felt a bit disappointed.
‘I was expecting to get the item.’
In Sargis, I couldn’t get the item because of the compensation effect.
So here is what I was secretly expecting… … .
What about those guys who are making surprise attacks? There aren’t many users visible around.
It may have gone too deep, but I definitely felt like it was avoiding me.
“Jihad.”
-huh?
If so, now would be the time.
“Let’s do it slowly.”
-What? Oh, that? Okay, master.
Jihad nodded as if he understood and raised his mana.
Then, as he stretched out his hand, black mana spread and the ground shook.
It wasn’t just one place. The ground was shaking all over, and then a vicious hand popped out and a shape was revealed.
[Guardian ‘Jihad Black’ summons the undead.]
[Summons 2 Forest Red Goblin Undead, 1 Forest Blue Goblin Undead, 3 Orc Undead, 3 Lycanthropes, and 2 Outlaws.]
[Using Legion Control, all are judged as one entity.]
[More than 50% of the Legion’s undead are judged as monsters from lower cities. Mana consumption is reduced.]
A total of eleven undead.
Now, anyone could see that they were a legion.
Just… … warm… … .
And the robed undead appeared before them.
[Legion Commander ‘Pain’ appears.]
The king of outlaws, it was pain.
“oh.”
-Ugh… … .
-hmm……!
Do-Hyeon was amazed at the forceful appearance that was still creepy even when looking at it again, and the guardians sighed.

The pain that met their eyes made his back bend.
Although he was once the king of a race, he has now decided to follow Do-Hyeon.
It was an act that showed one’s determination to be loyal, putting aside mere past positions.
To Do-hyeon, who had a satisfied look on his face, Pain spoke with a solemn face.
Just… just… just… just… .
“… … Hard?”
It’s not even a woodpecker.
As I frowned at the sound that was so insignificant compared to the force, Pain spoke again.
Tick tock… … Tick… … .
“… … .”
Do-Hyeon instinctively looked at Jihad and then stopped.
Whenever I didn’t understand something, he always interpreted for me, so I habitually looked back, and this time I realized that he was no different.
But what is this?
-I greeted the King. I asked him to take good care of me.
Isn’t it like he’s interpreting jihad so calmly, as if it were nothing?
Just… … ! Hot… … .
Just… just… right… .
Then, Pain nods his head as if to say yes, and the outlaws behind him bend one knee and clap their hands.
“… …Why did these guys become like this?”
The answer to that came from elsewhere.
[Guardian ‘Jihad Black’ has a low level.]
[The rank of the Legion Commander is higher than the level of the Guardian, so it will be adjusted downward. As Jihad Black grows, the Legion Commander also grows.]
‘… …Is this the effect of the downward adjustment?’
It was a downward adjustment, so it was no wonder.
Undead usually scale to their master’s level.
No matter how strong an undead is created, its effectiveness will only be realized if the owner’s achievements are also high.
And usually undead can’t speak.
It seems like it has been downgraded and its level has been lowered, and it has lost its language… … .
Just… just… just… just… .
Hot… … .
… … Doesn’t this have too little force?
Even the clicking sound of the racial traits cutting off was frustrating.
There are not one but three of those guys.
That… … Uh uh… … .
Ugh… Ugh… Ugh… … .
… … No, it was twelve.
-No, why did they become like this?
-Hmm… …That’s a bit awkward to hear.
-Lisa… … .
The legion follows its commander, so they even moved such useless things.
Do-Hyeon rested his chin on his forehead in a situation where he couldn’t help but sigh.
‘Tsk, I guess there’s nothing I can do.’
Where is the Jihad that understands what is being said?
If I couldn’t even understand the already frustrating words, I would have felt a surge of desire to sew my mouth shut.
‘How come there is no language that guy doesn’t understand?’
Well, he’s my commander, so how could he possibly understand?
Do-Hyeon, who was momentarily amazed by the amazing talent, turned his gaze and focused on the status window.
[List of Legion Commanders]
-1st Corps Commander: Pain
Legion Undead – 11
[Would you like to view the information on 1st Corps Commander ‘Pain’?]
‘Where can I find some information?’
The purpose was to check exactly how well it had been balanced.
The information that was spread out like that was quite detailed.
[pain]
[Title: Chieftain of the Outlaws, One Who Lives in Eternal Torment, One Who Seeks to Fulfill a Great Cause]
[Type: Ghost Soldier]
[Trait: Battle Mage, Born of the Underworld, Pain, Warlock]
[Legion Traits: Clear Cause, Fierce Obsession, Vengeance]
[Description: The lower world, also known as the underworld or the afterlife.
The Ghost Soldiers were born there but were not given a territory and were treated as foreigners and were ostracized.
He is a king who took on the suffering of all races by earning the name of Pain, and turned them, who were weak beings, into lawless outlaws of the underworld.
At first he was consumed by a desire for revenge, but now he is working hard to achieve a just cause and prevent extinction.]
[The level of ‘Jihad Black’ has been lowered, and most of its abilities have been sealed.]
[Available Skills: 2]
-Intermediate Black Magic
-Lawless Battle Mage Art
‘Are you okay?’
It’s true that he had two skills from the beginning, following the growth of Jihad Black.
The names are all extraordinary, both in title and characteristics.
Even the explanation was extraordinary.
‘You were born in the afterlife and were rejected… … Is that why you rushed at me so tenaciously?’
They say there are no villains without a story.
Just by looking at the text, I could roughly imagine what kind of life he would have lived.
‘I wonder how strong I’ll be when I regain my true strength.’
I wonder if he can recover to that extent as the commander of the undead army, but since the setting is what it is, I actually look forward to his potential in the second half.
Just… just… click, click… .
-Your Majesty, what do you want me to do… … No, wait a minute. I am your monarch, aren’t I? Why do you keep calling me your monarch?
Jihad suddenly remembered his position while interpreting and started to question with fire in his eyes.
As a man who was strong and weak, I could not dare to tolerate my subordinate ignoring me.
Warm… … ?
But the real pain was Jihad, who glanced at him and frowned.
And then the pain of bowing my head to Do-hyeon again.
Warm… … .
-Wow, did you see me just now? Are you frowning? Master, he just ignored me, didn’t he?
-Lee, Lisa… … .
-Wow! All the jihadists are dead! You, huh? If it were the old days, you would have been bomb number one.
Jihad laughs in vain as if he is amazed.
It certainly made sense, considering his past as a punk. I’ve never seen him respect the undead as living beings.
But that is only in the past.
The pain was not spared by the threat of such jihad.
Just… … warm… … .
He just sighs and shakes his head in disappointment.
‘You’re strong.’
Is this truly worthy of a king who risked his life for the survival of his race?
I can understand the pain from your perspective.
If it’s Do-Hyeon who beats that guy and fights against God, who wouldn’t know?
If a goblin tells you to follow him because he is the monarch, wouldn’t your pride be hurt, considering you are a king who ruled over a country?
-No, let me just say let me see… …!
– Sir, calm down. It is important to educate your subordinates, but isn’t now the time? How about educating them later?
-Let’s go.
Of course, it was something to be excited about as a jihadist.
Charlie and Eliza quickly stopped Jihad, whose blood pressure was rising and he was racing around.
Do-hyun shook his head at the sight of the number of members of the skit increasing.
I don’t know why they never have a quiet day.
“Your master is not me, but that guy. Well, that guy’s master is me, so that’s what it is… … But Jihad is your direct superior, so you should follow his orders.”
Warm… … .
-Did you see that? The sigh you’re reluctantly taking just now?
Exactly? Hot.
Me? I’ve never done that.
Even without an interpretation, seeing him fart makes it seem as if those words were in speech bubbles.
… … Do-hyeon changed the subject, saying that he would give them a chance to sort things out one by one.
-Hoo… …Okay, master. I’m being kind so I’ll put up with it, put up with it.
-Let’s go!
-Hmm! That was great. All great monarchs have great patience. I think you deserve it!
-Oh, really? Hehe. I’m kind of like that.
It was also thanks to Charlie’s words that I fell for the simple jihad.
When Do-hyeon gave a signal while looking at the guys who had finally become quiet, Jihad coughed in vain and spoke in the most solemn voice possible.
-Children, show those foolish trolls the difference in power.
Uhh… … Uhhhh… … .
Just… … warm… … .
This time, even the pain followed along obediently.
Warm… … !
As Pain roared through their robes, the undead knelt on one knee and bowed, then moved in unison.
And Do-Hyeon’s expression, as he quietly watched the unfolding scene, became increasingly blank.
Do-hyeon, who was gradually becoming stiff, spoke without realizing it.
“……what’s this.”
