Absolute Necromancer - Chapter 168

Absolute Necromancer Chapter 168

“…Damn it.”

As I lay down on the wooden floor of the barracks that had been horribly destroyed, I let out a swear word.

“I lost again.”

“Tsk, don’t you see that the premise of trying to defeat me was wrong? Just a 100-story climber. “Are you too cocky?”

Choi Kyeong-hoon, who was in quite a mess, though not as much as me, was laughing at me.

Yes, I lost again.

0 wins 2 losses.

That was the record between me and Choi Kyung-hoon.

“…Because I thought I could win.”

“Is it because of that bracelet?”

“Yes, the gap with you. I thought this bracelet would be enough to reduce that, but…I guess it was a little lacking.”

“…That’s creepy. “How good of a product is it that someone who knows your subject so well can predict victory by relying on just one bracelet?”

Choi Kyung-hoon knows me well.

And he knows that I am not too confident of victory.

“Would you like to take a look?”

“…I won’t decline.”

That’s why Choi Kyung-hoon nodded his head in response to my question.

The item’s status window.

It was quite impossible to show something called an information window or an explanation window, but I trusted Kyung-Hoon Choi.

and-

“…You’re crazy, you’re crazy. Did you still lose with this? To be honest, I recommend dying again.”

“…For a climber on the 800th floor to be beaten to the brink of defeat by a climber on the 100th floor, his mouth is still alive.”

“What can I say, it’s not even worth a handful. I played with you. “For playing with me.”

“I guess so.”

In fact, this sparring was really a little different.

Choi Kyung-hoon wins or loses, and I win or lose.

It was almost pure luck.

Choi Kyung-hoon and Ban entered a state of full body, and I entered a demonic state.

The conditions were similar, and although his overall condition was a bit higher, Choi Kyung-hoon’s injuries and internal injuries made up the difference.

“I won’t lose next time.”

“…I can’t deny it. “I think it will get a little difficult once you get used to that bracelet.”

“That’s my opinion too. “Next time, don’t get beaten up and get dragged down.”

“…Am I crying? Huh, hey. “What kind of nonsense is that?”

“7 years old, orphanage, in a blanket in the morning…”

“Shut up!”

Sigh!

As soon as I start talking about the past, a heavy fist hits my chin.

Although it was meant as a joke, it was enough to silence him.

“…Hit the patient?”

“It’s up to the patient. “If you’re a patient and a fool, and you make fun of me in front of me, it’s one hit.”

“Tsk, but I roughly figured out your level. “You better be really careful next time.”

“I’m not looking forward to it.”

Choi Kyung-hoon, who was grinning and nodding his head, really didn’t seem to care whether he lost or not.

But I really wanted to beat him.

‘Well, demonization wasn’t enough, but if it’s just demonization, I have the upper hand. Well, if you refine the demonization and make it exert power equivalent to demonization…Then my victory is certain.’

Van, the difference between demonization and demonization.

That had already been decided.

difference in output.

The output of power itself is different, and the quantity and quality of magical energy are also different.

However, there was still a lot of room for growth in that the power of half and demonization was a power that had just been acquired, and that, contrary to the name “half,” the actual power was not even half of the demonization.

“I’m looking forward to the next sparring.”

I didn’t know until I was lying on the floor of the broken military building, mumbling and smiling.

The fact that it would be quite a while before I could spar with Choi Kyung-hoon again.

“Then we are going to the goblin village now. Of course, I’m not saying I’m going right away, but I’m going to go after a few days of preparation and saying goodbye.”

“…!”

Ha-Ryu, who was drinking tea, hurriedly covered his mouth at my sudden declaration of going to the goblin village.

Ha-Ryu, who barely managed to block the tea water that burst out of surprise with his hand, blushed and dried his hand and asked.

“that…Is that really true? Brother?”

“You knew I was planning on going anyway, right?”

“That’s true, but…I can’t hide my surprise when I hear that I’m going.”

Ha-Ryu’s slightly flushed face showed anticipation.

However, contrary to my recalled thoughts, I had no choice but to speak bitterly.

“I’m not going to have fun.”

“…Yes, that’s right. Well, it’s not about going to have fun, it’s about checking…Right?”

“Yes, that place is no different from the Four Emperors’ hideout now. Perhaps the reason they are waiting with bated breath like assassins…”

“Visitors who will be there. In other words, it would be us.”

Miho, who was sipping tea and chewing on a cookie next to her, held out a cookie to Ha-ryu as Ha-ryu’s smile disappeared in an instant and he became filled with worry.

“Onni- this is a mugger.”

“Miho, I told you not to talk while eating. still…I’ll enjoy this.”

“yes! Hi-Hi.”

Although her pronunciation was muffled due to the cookie pieces in her mouth, the sensitive Miho noticed the abnormality in Ha-Ryu and gently resolved it, making them look like harmonious sisters.

As I was staring at this, I turned my attention to the others.

“Hendrick, Kyung-Hoon Choi. Same goes for you. There are people there who tried to kill you and did kill you, so don’t get excited. Of course, they are not the same, but-”

“Does not matter. I am now…I just don’t get excited about things like that.”

“That’s right, I gave you some solid mental education. Well, I don’t care if the guys who tried to kill me come. Just grab it and beat it up and that’s it.”

I heard that all members of the Four Emperors Clan exist in the Goblin Village.

In other words, all demons and elyos, including dragons and giants, exist.

Needless to say, the Dragon clan was Hendrick’s main enemy, and Choi Gyeong-hoon also had a history of being bullied by other Four Emperor clans.

However, Hendrick, who was often mentally unstable after his reincarnation, got slightly better after receiving mental education (physics) from Choi Kyung-hoon, and Choi Kyung-hoon was originally a well-versed person in this area.

‘He was a crazy guy who laughed and said that no matter where he went and got hit once, it would be okay if he got hit twice later.’

And this kind of personality was both good and bad at the top.

You can go to get two hits and come back after getting four.

However, Choi Kyung-hoon’s ability was different from others in that he accurately judged the person who hit him and did not make fun of him until he passed him.

They seemed to be okay, so I nodded and said.

“Three days later. Go to the goblin village. “Until then, if you have someone to say hello to, share it with them in advance, and take care of any necessary luggage.”

3 days later.

That would be the day of heading to the goblin village and at the same time the day of the decisive battle against the goblins lurking there.

Sarak- Sarak-

“Are you going in the end?”

Goldrich’s office.

A moderately large, moderately fancy place.

However, Jinhyeok clicked his tongue and answered because he did not know how much ‘money’ was in that appropriateness.

“Okay, now that you’ve decided to go, there’s no reason to stay anymore, right? “I still have a lot of work to do.”

“That is correct. “Time is money.”

“And your office looks like gold too. “How much are they all worth?”

The entire, moderately large office was made of hard-to-find wood, and the luxurious items that decorated the interior were expensive items known only to those in the know.

Honestly, it would have been cheaper to build the office out of gold.

At that thought, Goldritz smiled and answered.

“Well, it’s only a small amount of money.”

“…Damn, this is why they’re rich.”

A wealthy person whose assets alone easily exceed billions of dollars, and if all of his businesses are added together, his assets would easily exceed hundreds of billions.

That was Gold Rich.

And since it is an office, it would not be wrong to say that it was built with company money, not with one’s own money.

Jinhyuk cursed at him and kicked the floor.

“Please report on the final status of the goblin village.”

“The demons are gathering in the goblin village. No, it would be correct to say that they gathered together. “Probably, by the time you go, all the demons who responded to their call and headed to the goblin village will have arrived.”

“…Tsk, the dogs drunk on that power are coming? “How long will it take?”

“Even if you can’t do it, you have spirit. “Hundreds at most.”

“…The spirit soldiers and undead are stranded.”

The magicians number in the hundreds.

In order to stop them, Jinhyeok had to release spirit bottles and undead to stop them.

There was nothing they could do to stop it with their colleagues because they had the Four Emperors to deal with.

“be careful. Demons are dangerous, but the truly dangerous ones are the Four Emperors themselves.”

“…I know.”

Mine.

A term used to refer to climbers who are supplied with demon energy and are able to manipulate it.

They are loyal to the demons and are no different from hunting dogs that follow their will.

But even those people had no choice but to remain at a dangerous level.

The Four Emperors.

The four races that ruled the tower were by no means weak, and they were more than dangerous.

Jinhyuk knew that better than anyone else, so he nodded.

“But that doesn’t mean you can back down.”

“Know. “I’m just giving you some advice in case you forget.”

“Please take care of others while I’m away.”

“…These are all things I took care of in the first place. “Just focus on what you have to do, Cha Jin-hyuk.”

Gold Rich spoke bluntly without even taking his eyes off the document, but Jinhyuk just grinned.

“See you later.”

“…You talk like you’re about to die. “Live, no matter how strong they are or how many limbs they cut off, survive and stand here again.”

“How can I stand without arms and legs?”

“The pun…Tsk – go. “There is a lot of work to do.”

“Sure.”

Jinhyeok, who was smiling at Goldrich’s words telling him to survive, eventually hurriedly left the office.

In a room where no one was present except himself, Goldrich put down his pen.

widely-

High-quality fountain pen.

A fountain pen costs thousands of gold each, but Gold Rich roughly threw such a valuable item on the desk and sighed.

“Damn you. Don’t think about dying twice in front of me. “If you do that, I will go directly to the Underworld, grab you by the collar, and drag you to the tower.”

For Goldrich, who had already experienced Jinhyuk’s death once, Jinhyuk’s second death was an unimaginably terrible event.

A benefactor and friend who is no different from the one who brought him to his current position.

He then dies in the place he went after receiving the information he had decided?

“…I’m craving a drink.”

In the end, Goldrich put aside the mountain of documents and started gulping down the bottle of high-quality liquor that was on display in the cabinet.

It didn’t look like Gold Rich, but the person drinking alcohol here was not Gold Rich.

William Haswald.

He was a blond-haired child who couldn’t read properly and was sealed inside Gold Rich, who was saved by Jinhyeok. He could not overcome his sadness and only took control of Gold Rich’s body for a moment.

The foolishness and guilt I felt for not being able to stop him was an added bonus.
