Boundless Necromancer - Chapter 49
049. Administrator (1)
Flamemaw.
Some call this monster a monster from hell.
Others say that this dull-looking monster was born only to kill.
It was worth it.
Although it is a monster that mainly lives in the C-class gate, its essential combat ability is difficult for a hunter of the same level to withstand.
It is a monster among monsters and can be said to have traumatized many hunters.
Everyone who has encountered the Flame Maw unanimously says this.
―If you enter a dungeon inhabited by the Flame Maw, don’t expect good results.
Not only is it so hard that it can never be killed with a blade…. The
black fire that covers the whole body is a symbol of ominousness to hunters.
An unreasonable monster that excels in close combat, moves quickly, and even breathes fire in a wide range.
That was the monster called the Flame Maw.
By the way
.
“Kie Kieh!?”
Such a flame maw was being slaughtered by just one person.
I couldn’t even follow the movement of the sword with my eyes.
Rurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr…!
「The Thunder Sword (C) exclusive effect, ‘Endow Lightning’ is activated.」
「Applies ‘Lightning’ to the enemy on which the hit judgment was triggered.」
Flashing lightning from the sword or body of the Flame Maw that is instantly fragmented. I only belatedly recognize that something has died while watching.
One, two, three…
“All the spirits of the Flame Angler have been absorbed.” “Skill
proficiency has increased by
9.6%.”
“It’s ridiculous…”
It’s not a sight that a person who has just acquired a hunter’s license can show you.
I was sure because Lee Ha-yeon, who was called an elite among support-type magicians.
‘This is not normal…’
The man in front of me now goes beyond the category of a normal hunter.
Should I call it a monster that slaughter monsters?
“The level is pretty good.”
Even after killing the notorious Flame Maw, Han Seong-yoon, who made an expression as if he had to do this much, was not normal.
‘This must be a challenger on a really hard difficulty level…’
I realized the monstrous powerlessness that even the insanely strong Flame Maw could cut into pieces at once.
‘My choice wasn’t wrong…’
Lee Ha-yeon overreacted and gave the best contract terms in the guild, which was no mistake.
Rather, it was enough that he showed a friendly attitude towards the challenger, the monster of monsters.
‘Han Seong-yoon will grow more. That’s for sure.’
The one who decided to climb the Tower of Trials.
Soon, Han Seong-yoon will break through the limits and head to a higher level.
Lee Ha-yeon looked at Han Seong-yoon’s hunting as she proceeded without hesitation with sparkling eyes.
It was a hunt that made her heart boil after a long time.
Should I say that it reminds me of the excitement I had when I just entered the hunter industry?
Han Seong-yoon, who wields a sword imbued with lightning while slaughtering monsters that emit black flames…
“Wow….”
It was enough to instill longing for Lee Ha-yeon, who once dreamed of success as a hunter.
***
Kwadeudeuk…!
“Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…” After
finishing the fifth flame mouth, I exhaled and laughed.
「I absorbed the spirit of the flame angler.」
「Skill level increased by 3.2%.」
As expected from the notorious flame angler, the proficiency they gave was not small.
‘I must have gained more proficiency from catching these guys than from slaughtering the Lizardmen.’
Since it gives a proficiency of about 3.2% per animal, it should raise the ability quite a bit even when absorbing.
If you think about the hard body, it will greatly increase the durability ability.
‘It’s been a while since I’ve been hunting efficiently.’
While looking at the corpses of the generous flame anglers, I opened the status window.
It was to see how much the proficiency of the unique characteristics had risen after a long time.
『Unique Attribute – Necromancy (D)』
『Skill – 49.8%』
‘Have you already accumulated this much proficiency…’
The Tower of Trials was a good place to grow, but the reality was pretty good too.
As long as you can enter the gate of appropriate difficulty, you can grow this much.
‘Have you cleaned up all the flame anglers around you?’
Seeing that no more flame maw came, it seemed that there were no more monsters around.
Soon, I turned off the status window and approached Lee Ha-yeon, who was standing behind me.
“It looks like you’ve hunted all the flame anglers around you.”
“…”
“I’ll take the by-products from the corpse of the Flame Maw and go inside.”
“…”
But…
“Lee Ha-yeon?”
Lee Ha-yeon just stared at me as if she had lost her mind.
‘what? Were you surprised by how easy it was to clean up the Flame Maw?’
Well, it was understandable because he hunted down a monster that was called ‘Little Devil’ pretty quickly.
However, it wasn’t just that I was surprised, it seemed that something had taken away my soul.
And the moment I want to say something about that appearance.
“yes? That’s right… I’ve got everything sorted out, so I’ll have to go inside.”
Only then did Lee Ha-yeon come to her senses and belatedly answered my question.
Then, Lee Ha-yeon took out a small leather pouch from her bosom.
「Sub-space bag」
「Grade: C-」
「A bag containing the essence of modern magical engineering.」
「Contains a sub-space that can accommodate up to 500kg.」
「However, you can put something alive in the sub-space. There is no.”
“Sub-space bag…”
An item containing sub-space that was said to be so difficult to find appeared in front of my eyes.
“It was supported by the guild. This should be enough to contain the body.”
After hearing Lee Ha-yeon’s further explanation, I received a subspace bag.
Originally, I was going to just slaughter the body of the flame angler with a knife and take out only the magic stone, but…
“Then, first of all, I’ll put the whole magic stone in my pocket without taking it out.”
If it was a subspace pocket with this amount of storage, there was no need for that.
Slowly…
I put all the corpses of the Flame Maw lying around in my pocket.
‘Even though it’s not as good as the inventory, it’s quite usable.’
Even if it didn’t reach the subspace belonging to the individual, it was quite usable as it was.
“Now that we’ve got all the corpses, let’s move again.”
Then I moved my body while holding the sword tightly.
‘It’s a hill, but as long as it’s a dungeon anyway, there’s an end to it.’
Of course, like the Tower of Trials, they didn’t tell me where to go, but…
I was able to easily find the place I needed to move on my own.
‘Is it over there?’
Through the magic circuit, I sensed a place with high magic density and walked towards it.
There was a high probability that the boss room was located in a space with high magical power density, so there was no hesitation.
And…
“Kieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee…!”
My expectations were right on target.
As soon as I crossed the hill, the flame anglers came running.
Of course, I greeted those flamemouths with a grin.
Aww-! Quadduk-! Wow-!
「Skill proficiency increases by 3.2%」
「Skill proficiency increases by 3.2%…」
「Skill proficiency increases by 3.2%…」
Looking at the several proficiency increase messages, another message came to mind.
「The number of spirits that can be possessed has reached the limit.」
「The current number of spirits possessed – 30/30」
All the spirits collected since returning have been filled up.
‘Originally, I was going to clear the dungeon and absorb all of them…’ It
was no longer possible to collect and absorb more spirits.
‘It can’t be helped.’
「Permanently increase stats by using all the possessed spirits.」
「Muscle increased by 4」
「Agility increased by 3」
「Stamina increased by 4」
「Magic power increased by 6」
「Durability increased by It has risen by 7.”
It absorbed all the spirits, but unfortunately this time it did not become a ‘skill absorption’.
Because of the repeated absorption of the dead, the probability would have been sufficient, but it failed.
‘As expected, was it greedy to absorb the skill twice?’
It was regrettable, but there was no need to dwell on it.
It was the moment to shake off the lingering feelings and move again.
“…?”
When I looked to go to a place with a higher density of magic power, I saw a red portal.
It was a portal I had seen before.
‘Boss room?’
I didn’t expect it to come out so fast…
“I think that’s a boss room, what should I do…?”
I knew right away what to do without thinking.
“We have to go in as scheduled and destroy the gate.”
It was time to finish the hunt for the second return.
***
I moved after putting all the corpses of the flame maw into the subspace pouch.
Anyway, if you can destroy the gate, it’s better to finish it soon and leave.
It is also true that a temporary gate, not a continuous gate, could cause a dungeon break if left unattended.
‘I can’t leave it like that.’
Even though growth is important, I didn’t want to cause a dungeon break.
Even more so if it is the kind that could harm others.
Whoa…!
From the moment I entered the boss room, the space changed dramatically.
Even though it changed from a rugged hill to a damp cave…
‘What magical power…’
Above all, the density of the magical power floating around grew thicker.
Should I say it’s the feeling of magical power that has become thick enough to be sticky?
In any case, it was a sensation that could not even be described as very good in empty words.
‘I can’t see the boss…’
It was a bit uncomfortable, but that doesn’t mean there’s anything special about it.
“Be careful as the enemy is invisible.”
“Ah yes. I will let you do that.”
For now, I told Lee Ha-yeon to be careful and took a combat posture with my sword tightly gripped.
That was the moment.
「The skill ‘Eye of the Mind’ is activated.」
“…?”
It was only then that I remembered the skills I had acquired before.
‘Is this a skill I absorbed from the Lizard King?’
It’s an active type of skill that was said to be activated only during battle
.
‘It’s a unique mechanism.’
It was the moment I thought it was such a strange activation method.
“…!?”
Instantly, the ‘Eye of the Mind’ skill sounded an alarm and informed
me that something was flying from above.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
‘What is this again…!’
A huge fireball that fell without any warning hit the ground and created a shockwave.
Of course, it was at the level of being hit by a craze thanks to avoiding it before getting hit… but
‘What if it got hit…?’
I got goosebumps thinking that I couldn’t even use all of the commanders to activate the shield.
“….”
“Are you okay!?”
I heard Lee Ha-yeon’s worried voice, but I didn’t have time to focus on it.
“Kieeheh…?”
An anglerfish clad in blue flames was roaming the ceiling of the cave.
His feet were attached to the ceiling, and he almost got hit because he had almost no presence.
Even the flame angler, which was wearing black flames, was clearly different.
‘Was it a boss monster…?
‘
“There’s a monster on the ceiling…!?”
Soon after, Lee Ha-yeon was shocked to see if she had seen it.
“Seongyoon Han, this is an irregular boss…!”
“I know.”
He’s not the type of guy that would come out of a C-class dungeon.
Even I, who only had theoretical knowledge about dungeons, could understand it.
“Should I use a buff skill? Even if you prove your achievements later…!”
“…No, I don’t think so.”
Yes, I admit to being a bit perplexed.
However, what was dangerous just now was because it was a ‘surprise’.
“It will take a while. Please wait.”
“…Yes? You can’t do that alone-”
I opened my mouth before the words continued.
“Instantaneous acceleration.”
「The skill ‘Instantaneous Acceleration’ is activated.」
“Three verses.”
「The skill ‘Three Verses’ is activated.」
Right away, I started pouring all my magic power into the skill through the magic circuit.
Both skills were powerful enough to be my favorite offensive skills.
Even the effect of the magic circuit was added to that aggressive skill, so even a few monsters would have no choice but to die in one shot.
But…
“The grace of the wind.”
「The skill ‘Grace of the Wind’ is activated.」
「All speeds are increased by 70%.」
「Current skill stacking progress – 7/7」
「Since all stacks have been achieved, the cooldown time for ‘Grace of the Wind’ is reduced by 1 day. will be granted.”
Without ending it in that state, I used all of my skills.
And then, the moment you move your feet…
「An effect exclusive to Boots of Swiftness (C+) increases your speed for an instant.
」
「The dungeon boss, ‘The Maw of the Blue Scar’, has died.」 「
The dungeon boss will no longer appear.」
「The dungeon will collapse after 3 hours.」
paid
Patter…
“I told you.”
Covering my body with the rain-like intestines, I opened my mouth.
“It will be over in a little while.”
