Episode 179

Guild House of Radiance.

In the basement, there was a room used by the commander. After passing through the maze with all sorts of traps, a hidden room deepest in the basement was revealed.

“The smell is really bad.”

As I opened the door and stepped inside, a foul smell assaulted my nose.

A terrible smell of oil. And the smell of flesh that had been rotting for a long time. As expected, the room was filled with all kinds of machinery and corpses.

It must have been something the legion commander used for modification.

“Be aware of your surroundings.”

– Ghhhhh… … .

Baek Sa-jun left the undead in charge of guarding the surrounding area.

Now that the commander is dead, there’s no real danger, but it can’t hurt to have some preparedness just in case.

He immediately searched the room.

‘The information… isn’t really anything useful.’

I was wondering if there might be some useful information.

If you think about it, it’s obvious. The commander is a guy who turned everything into a machine. Once you see something, it’s recorded in the memory device and you won’t forget it, so there’s no reason to leave it in writing.

“Hmm, so this is what’s left?”

There was a large door in the room.

Baek Sa-jun opened the door. Then, a wide space beyond it was revealed. It was filled with all kinds of weapons, armor, and other items.

If I had to say, it’s like a warehouse.

‘Are you gathering them to arm the legionnaires?’

The numbers are huge.

It would make a lot of money if sold. But money isn’t that important to Baek Sa-jun right now.

What matters is whether you have useful items.

Baek Sa-jun searched the warehouse for items. He was amazed at some of the items.

“Hey, how many epic items are there?”

The quality of the items was very good.

There were even items of epic and legendary grade. They were perfect for Baek Sa-jun’s followers to use, so I put them all in the subspace.

And one, I saw a decent cane.

[Staff of Void (Epic)]

· A staff imbued with the power of the dark void. It has great power, but when worn, the power is drained.

· Wearing restrictions: Necromancer only.

· Magic attack power +150.

· All abilities -30%, magic power +30%.

· You can use to summon a sphere that pulls in nearby enemies.

A staff of epic grade.

It was a staff of no value to Baek Sa-jun at the moment. However, it was enough to be used as material.

Besides, there are ways to make this more useful.

[Black Mud (Legendary)]

· Black mud infused with the power of a predator. Upgrades one desired item to Legendary grade.

It’s black mud obtained from a predator.

I didn’t really have a place to use it, so I put it in the subspace. It would be good to use it to strengthen the Void Staff, and then feed it to the Nightmare Amalgam.

Baek Sa-jun immediately put it into action.

– Black mud engulfs the Staff of Void.

– Mud seeps into the item… … .

– Congratulations! The Staff of Void has been upgraded to .

The item has been upgraded.

Baek Sa-jun briefly examined the transformed staff, then took out the nightmare amalgam and fed it to the staff.

The Nightmare Amalgam has one stack left that can absorb items. Up until now, it had no items worth feeding, so it just left it there.

An item of this quality is worth feeding.

– Nightmare Amalgam absorbs items.

– Target: Empty Night (Legendary).

Baek Sa-jun absorbed the item.

The nightmare fusion, which had absorbed all the items it could absorb, emitted an ominous light.

And after a while.

– The Nightmare Amalgam has absorbed the maximum number of items. Its stats are at maximum.

An intense power was felt from the nightmare fusion.

And it wasn’t a mistake.

[Nightmare Amalgam (Legendary)]

· A staff created by fusing only items with evil energy. It is very ominous.

· Magic attack power +310, morale +30.

· Undead Strength Aura (+40%).

· Necromancer attack skill power +60%, Necromancer attack skill morale consumption -30%.

· +40% to morale recovery speed.

· Number of undead that can be summoned below upper level +4.

· You can use [Empty Night] to forcibly pull in nearby enemies and then summon multiple spheres that cause a violent explosion.

The nightmare fusion is complete.

A staff imbued with the madness of the undead, the return of the tyrant, Thanatos, and the empty night.

It’s something you can’t get even if you pay for it.

‘I have no intention of selling it.’

Baek Sa-jun searched through the remaining items.

There were other interesting items as well.

There were a lot of magic stones and machine parts. There were a lot of high-grade magic stones. I thought that these were probably used to create legionnaires.

“Um, this is… … .”

And one more thing.

Items related to dragons were seen.

“Dragon skin, flesh… there’s everything.”

Whose it was? There was no need to say.

It must be Leweeken. It seems that they kept the parts they removed while converting him into a legionnaire.

Baek Sa-jun scratched his head.

‘I guess I’ll just pack it for now.’

I also have LeWicken’s Dragon Heart.

I thought that if I used these well, I might be able to make a decent item someday.

Baek Sa-jun kept the items separately.

‘I guess I’ll have to take care of the remaining equipment in Daejeon.’

It’s going to cost a lot of money to rebuild. The items here should help.

You can just leave it to Yoon Seung-woo and Han Seo-kyung to handle and ask for a portion of the money.

“Commander… … .”

Baek Sa-jun looked around the large warehouse.

“It’s a tree that gives generously. Really.”

Le Wicken, and all sorts of rare items.

Thinking of the commander who was like a tree that gave generously, Baek Sa-jun left the underground warehouse.

There’s nothing to see here anymore.

‘Should I wait for the event?’

All that’s left is to wait for the previous event.

***

Baek Sa-jun took a break for a while.

It wasn’t like I was just playing around. There were a few things I had to take care of while I was resting.

“Lazuli sent you. Are you Baek Sa-jun?”

First, the wizard sent by Lazuli.

A wizard who can improve the subspace bracelet that Baek Sa-jun possesses. He was an old man, but his body was so healthy that it was hard to believe he was a wizard.

Did you even exercise separately?

“Yes. Is that possible?”

“of course.”

Baek Sa-jun handed the bracelet to the wizard. Then he suddenly remembered the ring he was wearing.

A ring of transition that has now lost its light.

“I’d like to leave this ring with you, too. Is that okay?”

“A ring? Hmm. It’s an interesting ring. A ring with transfer magic? It’s not impossible, though.”

The wizard stroked his chin.

“The effect will be weaker, but the number of uses can be eliminated. If that’s okay with you, I’ll take it.”

“Let’s do that. It’s better than breaking.”

“Okay, here’s the payment. Check it.”

The magician who received the bracelet and ring from Baek Sa-jun handed over the documents containing the payment.

The price was literally enormous.

‘7 billion? What am I looking at?’

Baek Sa-jun rubbed his eyes.

This is because the amount is so unrealistic. But if you think about it carefully, it’s not strange.

The materials required to improve these items, as well as the cost of specialized personnel such as wizards.

Funnily enough, it was a relatively reasonable cost.

“The price will be paid in magic stones.”

“Okay.”

I was glad that I had brought a large quantity of magic stones from the underground. Baek Sa-jun paid the price with the magic stones.

The wizard left as quietly as he had come, leaving a message that he would complete it in two days.

‘I don’t think I’ll eat or carry it.’

It was introduced by Lazuli.

If you carry it, you can go find her. Baek Sa-jun leaned against the wall and looked down at the ground.

“Okay, okay! Move quickly!”

“Wow, what is all this? What’s underground… … .”

“When did they create that space underground?”

Beyond that, I could see hunters moving busily.

They were busy carrying items from the commander’s underground storage. Yoon Seung-woo and Han Seo-kyung directed them as they moved the items.

The undead also helped them.

– Gh …

– Ughh …

“I’ve lived and carried all my luggage with the undead. As you live, you experience all sorts of things, man.”

“That’s true.”

The undead are tireless beings.

It was perfect for moving luggage. The only problem was that it smelled like a corpse if you were close by.

“Whoaaah.”

Baek Sa-jun yawned heavily.

Should I sleep a little longer? As he was thinking that, his cell phone suddenly vibrated for a long time.

I was trying to do something and found a text message.

It was a text from an unknown number.

[My client wants me to tell you this: Beware of the Salvation Church. It’s the end.]

“Hey, this is really… … .”

Baek Sa-jun burst into laughter after seeing the text.

“I can tell who sent it just by looking at the contents.”

Who would send such a text to you? It was a question that didn’t require much thought.

This is Lee Hyuk-woon.

The one who sent this text must be an intermediary with a special connection to that guy. He’s the original named guy.

“Don’t just talk. Why don’t you help me out a little?”

Baek Sa-jun clicked his tongue.

Still, to this extent, Lee Hyuk-woon was showing some care. And at the same time, it was proof that he thought of Baek Sa-jun as an ally, not an enemy.

Otherwise, there’s no need to warn.

‘The Church of Salvation, you know.’

Those who can’t stand to see the Necromancer change his job are the .

Fanatics who serve the gods of the other world.

If they find out that Baek Sa-jun is changing jobs, there is a high probability that they will intervene and interfere in some way.

And one more thing.

‘There’s no harm in reducing power now.’

It was also an organization that would play a large role in the fourth main quest that would follow soon.

You’ll be bumped into this right after the previous event ends, whether you want it or not.

‘I should prepare in advance.’

They are tricky guys.

It never hurts to prepare in advance, especially considering the possibility of interference during the previous event.

‘I wish my previous job was a little easier.’

Even Baek Sa-jun didn’t know much about the previous event.

To be exact, I know what kind of job change event Lee Hyuk-woon will experience. However, I do not know what kind of job change event this body, ‘Baek Sa-jun’, will experience.

‘The previous event is different for each target… … .’

Even for the same necromancer, events change depending on the trajectory of the person’s life.

So I had no idea what the event was.

That’s the only thing I can guess.

‘Thanatos.’

If you have a special item or skill, a related job change event will often occur.

In Baek Sa-jun’s case, it is Thanatos.

I think this might affect the event.

– The time has come.

It was just then.

A message appeared before Baek Sa-jun’s eyes as he was wondering what kind of event would come out in the future.

The message he was waiting for.

– The time has come.

– Target, Baek Sa-jun. Explore the ‘previous’ event by considering the target’s past actions.

– A special entity, ‘Thanatos’, has been discovered.

It was a message about a previous event.

– The item, ‘Back of the Dead’ has been created. This back will guide you to where to go.

– Reach where the light leads you and find the ‘relic’ containing the power of Thanatos. It will grant you new powers… … .

A message that disperses like smoke.

Beyond that, a new message emerged.

– The previous event, ‘God of Death’, begins.

Baek Sa-jun turned away from the wall.

“The time to rest is over now.”

It’s time to get busy again.
