Episode 149

Baek Sa-jun took out numerous bones.

Although it was only for a short time, these were bones collected while exploring nearby monster colonies and dungeons.

The quality isn’t great, but it should be enough since Magnus has the bones he normally absorbs.

– You have collected enough bones. If you use them all, your clan can evolve by one level.

– Would you like to evolve your clan by consuming bones?

Baek Sa-jun’s prediction was not wrong.

The answer was obvious.

– Kkwadkku!

The monsters’ bones were instantly shattered into pieces and scattered. The scattered bones gathered towards Magnus and were quickly absorbed by him.

And after a while.

– Congratulations! ‘Magnus’ has evolved into ‘Ark Lich’!

– Ability values ​​have been enhanced.

– All racial skills have been changed.

The message Baek Sa-jun had been waiting for appeared.

Magnus’ appearance also changed. He was larger overall and his bones were thicker, but the most noticeable change was the horns that appeared on his head.

I saw two horns sprouting up like a devil.

“If it’s not a devil, what kind of horn is it?”

– Ugh… … .

Baek Sa-jun touched Magnus’ horn.

It was so strong. It seemed like it could be used to impale enemies and kill them with its horns.

He opened Magnus’ status window.

[Magnus]

· Race: Archlich.

· Gift (3/3): Dark Veil, Magic Bullet’s Archer, Magic Enhancement.

· Strength: D · Agility: D

· Stamina: D · Morale: A+

· Skills held (5/5): Hand of Exploitation, Fear, Blizzard, Storm Bringer, Breath of Venom.

· Race Skills: Black Magic Expert, Advanced Black Magic, Soul Harvest, Chain of Eternity, Soul Stream, Orb of Cold.

Overall, it seemed like the abilities had increased.

Baek Sa-jun nodded in satisfaction, then looked at one of the gifts Magnus had.

‘Magic enhancement. I’d like to change this a bit.’

This is a gift that I roughly filled in because I couldn’t leave a gift slot empty. It’s a gift that strengthens the power of magic, but the effect is weak.

It was a shame I couldn’t change it this time.

· Skill, ‘Black Magic Expert’: You have expert knowledge of black magic. The power of black magic increases by 30%, and the range increases by 1.5 times.

· Skill, ‘Advanced Black Magic’: You can use black magic of an excellent level. You can use a large number of black magics up to ‘Advanced’ level.

· Skill, ‘Soul Exploitation’: Exploits the souls of enemies to temporarily increase the morale ability by one level, and greatly reduces the magic casting time.

· Skill, ‘Chains of Eternity’: The space in all directions splits apart, and numerous chains appear, piercing enemies and then binding them tightly so they cannot move.

· Skill, ‘Soul Stream’: A large number of vengeful spirits appear from the sky and fall to the ground. The vengeful spirits that reach the ground explode, scattering their resentment.

· Skill, ‘Cold Spheres’: Creates multiple spheres filled with cold air and shoots them forward. The spheres freeze and destroy enemies.

Skills such as Frozen Armor and Dark Collapse that Magnus had were included in advanced black magic.

There are even new black magic spells.

‘You specialize in magic.’

However, his physical abilities are weak.

And there was another piece of good news. It had to do with the gift Magnus had.

– The clan has grown by one level. Accordingly, ‘Mattan’s Archer’ unlocks new abilities.

– Learned ‘Large-caliber bullets’, ‘Incineration bullets’, and ‘Barrage fire’.

Matan’s Archer is a gift that unlocks new skills as your clan grows.

Thanks to this, three new skills were created.

* Large-caliber bullet: Fires a large-caliber bullet that causes a powerful explosion when it hits an enemy. The more morale you put into it, the more powerful the bullet becomes.

* Incineration Bullet: Fires an incineration bullet that burns the target’s magical power the moment it hits the enemy.

* Rapid Fire: Concentrate your mind to fire up to three magic bullets in succession. Magic bullets fired in rapid fire have their power increased by 30%.

Every time I saw him, I felt grateful to Roberto, the guild leader of Millerio, whom I had killed before.

Because I gave this as a gift.

‘It would be better to use it like this than to leave it as a pearl necklace on a pig’s neck.’

In the original work, I heard that it was a waste of a gift to give to a guy like Roberto.

Magnus could use it well.

– Ugh.

Magnus summons his rifle and examines it.

At the feet of that guy, there were two canes lying around. One was the Glacier Cane, and the other was the cane that Baek Sa-jun had bought at the coin shop.

‘I won’t need this staff anymore.’

Although I bought it from the coin shop, it’s not a very high grade wand. Still, since it’s a magic item, it’ll probably sell for a high price if I get rid of it.

Baek Sa-jun took his walking stick.

– Ss …

At that moment, fog came near him.

The fog took shape in an instant. Baek Sa-jun turned his head as if he was familiar with it. What he saw was Iria, covered in ice all over her body.

“Is there anything suspicious around you?”

– Ooooh, ooooh… … .

“There was?”

Iria explained, moving her hands.

I looked around and saw a large group guarding the entrance to the permafrost. And some of them entered the permafrost to explore.

They’re all armed, but they don’t seem to be here to hunt monsters. They have another purpose.

“He must be a warlord. Did you hear what he said?”

– Oooh, oooh… Oooooh… … .

“You told me to find Baek Sa-jun and Nam Gung-yeon?”

Baek Sa-jun snickered.

I wasn’t that surprised because it was something I had expected. I had expected something like this to happen from the beginning.

‘It’s been quite some time since we dealt with the predator, but Namgung Yeon and I haven’t shown up yet.’

The warlords would have first checked whether Baek Sa-jun and Nam Gung-yeon had left the permafrost.

And then you realize that he hasn’t left.

‘Did you judge that Namgung Yeon and I were dead?’

If Baek Sa-jun and Nam Gung-yeon were killed during the fight against the predator, their bodies must be found quickly.

One is a necromancer with the power to fight predators, and the other is a necromancer with the power to fight predators. Both of them will have items of great value, so you should aim for them.

‘Or did you judge that he had suffered a serious injury?’

To put it simply,

The goal is to catch Baek Sa-jun and Nam Gung-yeon, who would have received huge rewards for catching predators.

If he’s injured badly enough to be unable to leave the permafrost, he’ll be easy to deal with.

“Anyway, I’m telling you, they’re crazy about money.”

The warlords of Jeju Island are originally like that.

And in the apocalypse, there are so many cases like that that it wasn’t that surprising. It’s a place where you often find yourself chasing down a hunter who has obtained a reward from a dungeon or boss monster and then killing them.

It’s natural in a world without proper laws.

“There’s no need to move in a hurry. Go and keep watch. When you get near here, let me know.”

– Woof woof… … .

The ones in a hurry are the warlords.

Only a small number of expeditions have been sent so far, but over time, the majority will enter the permafrost. Given time, their injuries will recover.

Then they have no chance. They’ll come in first, find us, and then deal with us.

“Well, that’s good.”

It’s a good thing the warlords were already annoying.

Iria turned into fog again and went outside. Baek Sa-jun leisurely leaned his back against the wall of the cave.

“I guess I should take this opportunity to organize things a bit.”

* * *

And two days passed.

A permafrost covered in blizzards. A place usually filled with monsters, where countless hunters roamed.

They were hunters belonging to a warlord.

“Ugh, there’s, there’s nothing on this side!”

“I can’t see anything in the east or the west except monsters!”

“Don’t stop, keep searching!”

What they were looking for was Baek Sa-jun and Nam Gung-yeon.

We tried to find the two by focusing on the place where the last fight with the predator was left, but it wasn’t easy.

“What, it looks like something exploded, but they all died, right? They got caught in the explosion, huh? Huh!”

“Shit, shit. Where the hell are you hiding!”

“If you’re dead, at least show me your body!”

The hunters wandered through the snowy fields, spitting out curses.

I was wandering around the permafrost for days, and I was dying. It was even worse because there was no hope of finding me.

Their morale was waning with each passing day.

“Sister, I’m not getting any results.”

The warlord’s deputy felt it.

He glanced at the captain next to him. A sturdy female warrior. Lee Si-kyung, the leader of the , one of the three major warlords in Jeju Island.

The captain spoke to her cautiously.

“If we try to find them any harder, all the kids will die. Let’s stop here… … .”

“It’s ten.”

“yes?”

Lee Si-kyung, who had been silent, opened her mouth.

“It’s not just any guy, it’s the Ten Guys. How strong of an equipment do you think that guy has?”

“Well, well. Isn’t that beyond legendary?”

“It could be more than that.”

Lee Si-kyung looked at the snowstorm beyond. Her eyes sank as if she was reminiscing about the past.

“I’ve met the Ten Heroes before. They were the Ten Heroes of Seoul. They were clad in mythical items from head to toe. Isn’t that amazing?”

“myth…….”

“Namgung Yeon may be inferior to the ten best fighters in Seoul, but his equipment will not be.”

Lee Si-kyung looked down at her equipment.

I made a lot of money from the Jeju Island Maseok mine and upgraded my equipment. However, none of the equipment was really outstanding. Most of it was epic.

The reason was simple.

“Rare equipment cannot be bought or sold with money. It might be possible to exchange it for equipment of the same level.”

As the end approaches, the value of currency has fallen and the world has become one where power is everything.

High-grade equipment that can provide that power is not easy to obtain even if you pay hundreds of millions of won.

“But if it’s the equipment of the Ten Heroes… … .”

A way to save it arises.

And with that level of equipment, you’ll have the power to end those tiresome wars between warlords.

It was well worth the risk.

“We must find him before the other warlords find him. If he is dead, from his body. If he is alive, from his body.”

Even if it means killing me.

Lee Si-kyung’s two eyes shone coldly. The deputy commander swallowed his saliva upon seeing those eyes.

That was their thinking.

‘Why did Baek Sa-jun and Nam Gung-yeon disappear?’

It is unknown what happened, but Baek Sa-jun and Nam Gung-yeon’s contributions were absolutely essential in dealing with the recent disaster, .

In fact, it’s safe to say that the two of them solved it.

‘But why don’t you show up?’

As if he wanted to hide his appearance.

Why must it be done that way? Lee Si-kyung, the leader of the Pay Mercenary Corps, quickly came to a conclusion.

‘Dead or seriously injured.’

It’s not an ordinary boss monster, it’s a disaster.

A monster that absorbs everything it touches. There’s no way you wouldn’t get injured if you fought against such a thing.

Baek Sa-jun and Nam Gung-yeon were seriously injured and are recovering in seclusion.

Or dead.

“Huh, like a hyena… … .”

There were more than a few warlords who had gathered here with similar thoughts. When I saw that scene, I was reminded of a hyena.

Hyenas gathered to feast on the corpse.

‘It doesn’t matter if it’s a hyena or something.’

If only I could find the Ten Heroes’ equipment.

Lee Si-kyung walked across the snowy field with her eyes wide open. The snowy field that she had been looking at for so long was now boring.

And right then.

“Hey, sister! Here! Here it is!”

“Did you find something?!”

I heard the voice of my subordinate.

Lee Si-kyung turns her head in delight.

“Hey, there’s a cave here! There are footprints! I don’t know if that’s where the Ten Heroes entered… … !”

“It doesn’t matter. Just be careful!”

Know if there is a trap and go in. Lee Si-kyung tried to shout that to his subordinates.

– Clang!

Before that, the space in all directions split apart and chains appeared, binding the hunters.

and.

– Grrrrrrrr!

– Kwaaaaah!

“Uh, undead… Eww!”

Until the undead, who had been hiding under the thick snow, began to reveal themselves.

Suddenly a heavy snowstorm blew in.

Lee Si-kyung opened her eyes wide.

“If you save me, I should be grateful.”

A person was seen through the swirling snowstorm.

A pale man wearing bone armor.

“They are ungrateful.”

Baek Sa-jun.

A deep sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.
