Episode 165

The entire city of Daejeon became a mess in an instant.

The special mutants and legionnaires who were rushing to the safe zone had no choice but to stop moving.

This was because countless earth spirits and undead rising from all directions attacked them.

– Kurur… Kwaaaaah!

– Kyaaaaah!

The spirits of the earth created spirit magic.

Countless stems and roots sprouting from the ground, the ground splitting open to swallow up enemies, and awls made of rock sprouting from the ground. Literally all sorts of elemental magics were attacking the mutants.

That wasn’t all.

– Kwaaaaak!

A giant appeared in the middle of Daejeon.

A giant with feminine curves, his entire body made of rock. He was the incarnation of Gaiad, the spirit lord of the earth. He saw the legionaries approaching.

There was sadness in those eyes.

[That’s too bad.]

It was a pity for those who were once human, but have now lost their humanity.

There was magic in Gaiad’s eyes.

Okay then.

– Damn!

– Phew!

The bodies of the legionnaires approaching Gaiad instantly petrified and fell to the ground.

The legionnaires were destroyed as they collided with the ground. The legionnaires following behind retreated when they saw this.

[What, what the heck is this… … .]

[Action stopped. All petrified.]

[Coming!]

Gaiad’s arm moved.

Hands made of rock struck the legionnaires as if they were swatting away insignificant insects.

The speed was so fast that even the legionnaires could not avoid it.

– Boom! Boom!

The enemies were being slaughtered mercilessly.

Although the enemy numbers were still overwhelming, they were visibly decreasing.

“So, that’s a spirit?”

“Uh, uh, uh. I think so… … .”

Yoon Seung-woo, who was watching, muttered blankly.

I heard from Baek Sa-jun beforehand that he was going to summon a large number of spirits.

To be honest, I doubted my ears while listening.

‘The necromancer summons spirits?’

How on earth?

Was that possible for a necromancer? I was half-doubting it, but I never thought it would be possible.

Yoon Seung-woo rubbed his eyes.

‘You have to do this at least ten times… … .’

Isn’t it possible?

Yoon Seung-woo stared blankly at the spirits. Then, he came to his senses belatedly when he saw the special mutants that were coming to the safe zone retreating.

Now is not the time for this.

He woke up the hunters around him.

“Wake up! This is not the time to lose your mind! You need to take advantage of the gap where the difficult enemies are cornered by Baek Sa-jun and take care of them! Move!”

“Yeah, yeah! Let’s go!”

“Kill them all!”

Yoon Seung-woo activated the special effects.

‘Hosts’ appearing everywhere. Hunters in the safe zone took advantage of the gap left by the enemies and began to deal with the mutants that approached the safe zone.

The confused mutants tried to retreat.

“Prevent the enemies from retreating! Trap!”

The hermit’s trap, which had not yet been activated, blocked them. Nets and chains rose from all directions, tying up the feet of the mutants who were trying to retreat.

The hunters didn’t miss that opportunity.

“attack!”

A barrage of attacks on enemies.

The screams of the mutants echoed.

[We will attack the enemies!]

[Kill as many mutants as possible! Don’t miss any of the mutant remnants that drop, and take them all!]

[Mr. Baek Sa-jun! Be careful! Special mutants and named legionnaires are heading your way!]

Baek Sa-jun, who left the rooftop of the building and came down to the ground, heard a communication ringing in his ears.

“I know, too.”

Baek Sa-jun raised his head.

He could see enemies swarming from afar. Special mutants and named legionnaires heading to the safe zone were rushing towards him.

He committed fraud.

– Ugh… … .

– Gooooooooo!

Corpses that are resurrected as undead.

And four of his followers stood beside Baek Sa-jun. He harvested the souls of his enemies with the Scythe of Thanatos and used them as materials to strengthen his undead allies.

There’s even there.

“Go. Hunt the enemies.”

– Kwaaaaah!

The undead scattered, roaring.

The same was true for the other members. Except for the skeleton, the rest of the members scattered in different directions.

It was because of the order given by Baek Sa-jun.

[Hunt the special mutants.]

The Legion Commander and the Seed of Evolution postponed invading the safe zone long ago.

The purpose was to create special mutants.

Each of these special mutants possesses powerful abilities and poses a great threat to the safe zone.

but.

‘It’s also an opportunity for me.’

The number of special mutants you can hunt has increased.

Because the battle situation has changed drastically, you must take advantage of the enemy’s confusion to kill as many special mutants as possible.

And the named legionnaires too.

‘Let’s deal with the difficult ones first.’

Like Surtr earlier, we need to take this opportunity to eliminate anyone who poses a major threat to the safe zone.

This was especially true for special mutants.

They’ll give you a reward if you deal with them. If you offer that reward directly to the tombstone, it’ll be a great help.

‘I guess I’ll have to step back after I’ve caught enough.’

This is the middle of enemy territory.

I had no intention of fighting until I died. Gaiad’s fragments don’t last very long either.

The goal was to reduce the number of enemies as much as possible while the earth spirits were here.

“It feels like we’ve gone back in time because we’re together.”

– Crunch.

The skeleton remained with Baek Sa-jun.

In order to maintain the , the skeleton could not be dropped far away. And one more thing.

– Come on… … !

There was also .

The skeleton guarding Baek Sa-jun kicked the ground and jumped into the middle of the mutants that were rushing towards him.

And then immediately used .

– Shhh!

The wave dominated numerous mutants.

There was even an aura that strengthened the allies. The skeleton gave orders to the mutants he controlled, and they gathered around Baek Sa-jun and began to protect him.

“Okay, then.”

He had no intention of just sitting around while his followers hunted down their enemies. Baek Sa-jun took a step forward, summoning the Tyrant and his knights.

He turned his head.

“Let’s see how the commander turns out.”

***

The situation is going strangely.

The Guild House of Glory. The commander who was applying evolution to his own body sensed it.

The beginning was the moment the giant appeared.

[This is… … .]

The commander was speechless.

It was because I knew very well what kind of being the giant that appeared over there, tearing through the sky, was.

[The spirit king of the earth? How… … .]

He must have been a necromancer.

There is no way he could summon the Spirit King. But Baek Sa-jun summoned the Spirit King.

The legion commander’s eyes turned red.

[Namgung Yeon, is that his trick?]

Other than that, there was nothing to point out.

Baek Sa-jun solved the apocalypse of Jeju Island and saved Namgung Yeon, who was supposed to die.

He is a contractor of the spirit king of the earth. If he had given him a special reward in return for saving him, then so be it.

[Legion, aim for Baek Sa-jun. Quickly!]

We must kill Baek Sa-jun quickly.

He is a variable in and of himself. If we keep him alive, we don’t know what negative effects he might have on this apocalypse.

On the contrary, it turned out well. Since he has revealed himself, we can concentrate our forces and deal with him first.

But that didn’t work out as planned.

– Stone, stone.

– Open the way… … !

In front of the commander were numerous holographic screens. These screens showed battles taking place all over the city.

The first thing you see is the Death Knights.

– Kieeeeek!

– Khaaaaak!

Death knights clad in armor made of stone charged down the ruined road.

It was the magic of the spirits of the earth. The mutants tried to stop them by attacking them, but it was useless.

The Death Knights easily withstood the attacks of their enemies and slaughtered those who stood in their way.

There is only one place they are headed.

– Gueeeeeek!

It was a place with special mutants.

To the west, where the spews out a horrible liquid from its entire body. The Corrosion Demon opens its mouth wide as it recognizes the undead rushing towards it.

And the moment it was about to squirt out the corrosive liquid.

– Clang!

– Kueek… … !

Numerous chains bound the bastard’s entire body.

Then came countless dark magic spells. The dark magic created by Magnus struck the Corrosive Demon.

The magic was more powerful than usual.

The special mutant accessory worn by the guy. And the effect of was to exploit the souls of enemies to increase the morale ability by one level.

– Ughhhhhhh… … .

Magnus’s morale stat is now S.

The bastard fired three magic bullets at the Corrosive Ghost at the same time, and the magic exploded, causing it to activate.

The rotten ghost couldn’t withstand his magic.

– Kyaaaaah!

A decaying ghost that collapses with its entire body destroyed.

Magnus absentmindedly picked up the items the bastard had dropped, then quickly headed off to another location.

To find special mutants nearby.

– Keuheuuuuuu!

– Crunch!

The same was true for Cerberus and Iria.

The two, scattered in different directions, were hunting and tracking down special mutants like Magnus.

The commander who saw Iria frowned.

[True… … .]

The master of the apocalypse that occurred in Busan.

When he first confirmed the existence of the Jinjo, the commander doubted his own eyes. It was impossible for a mere necromancer to summon the Jinjo into service as an undead.

But Baek Sa-jun was serving Jinjo.

[Too, fast… …!]

– Phew!

And it still retains a lot of the strength it had from its lifetime.

Iria flew through the sky with her blood followers, targeting the named legionnaires.

She moved through the legion at a speed that was literally impossible to follow with the eyes.

Moreover, it wasn’t just fast.

– Crunch! Crunch!

The attack power was also tremendous.

The red blood sword swept through the surrounding area, and the bodies of the legionnaires caught in it were instantly torn to pieces.

Even though it had enough defense to easily deflect a black sword, it couldn’t even withstand a single blow.

– Phew, phew… Ahahahahaha!

And every time he swung his Blood Sword, the blade-like wind pressure slaughtered his enemies.

With all sorts of buffs and even a quick swordsmanship, Iria now possessed powers that rivaled those of Jinjo of Busan.

[… … .]

Similar scenes occurred everywhere.

Skeleton, Cerberus, Magnus, and Jinjo. Baek Sa-jun’s followers slaughtered their enemies in different places, each with incredible strength.

[I can’t believe it. This is… undead.]

I already knew it because I heard about it.

Baek Sa-jun’s undead were no ordinary undead. However, the power of the retinue that the commander had just seen was stronger than what he had heard.

The followers have grown more.

[Growing undead. Is that possible?]

The commander closed his eyes.

It’s impossible. But it’s happening right before his eyes. And if he ignores it, there’s no telling how this apocalypse will turn out.

He opened his eyes again.

[I can’t move.]

The commander was impaled by numerous stems that originated from the seeds of evolution. These would evolve him to a higher level.

He intended to use what he learned in this process to evolve his legionaries.

If you move here, you will have to give up evolution.

[So… you go in my place.]

The commander raised his head.

The guild house, and the being flying above it.

– Kiaaaaaaah!

A named entity that the Legion Commander put the most effort into, consuming a huge amount of resources.
