Baek Sa-jun opened his eyes.

I could sense that something had changed inside me. I felt a surge of intense power.

And it wasn’t because of the mood.

– has been strengthened. New special effects have been added.

A message that keeps appearing before your eyes.

To put it simply, the content was that abilities increased and four new unique skills were learned, including .

Until two skills are strengthened there.

Baek Sa-jun opened the status window.

· Stamina: 265 · Morale: 770

It seemed like all abilities had increased significantly.

Strength, agility, and stamina are roughly around 80. The morale ability also increased by close to 100 at once.

It was an absurd amount of increase.

Baek Sa-jun checked the skills.

There was no need to say anything.

They were all equally powerful skills. The highest level skills were at a level that could not even be compared.

It was a reward for my previous job.

– is a special class.

– In the main story that unfolds later, you may be faced with a special choice. What choice you make then is up to you… … .

This was the last message.

You may be faced with a special choice. This means that there will be another choice in the main story that would normally have no other way to resolve than destruction.

You will know this when you encounter it.

“Phew… … .”

Baek Sa-jun looked back at his body.

I felt a power throughout my body that I had never felt before. And I had no intention of holding back this power.

“Skeleton, did you get all the items?”

– Thud, thud.

The skeleton guarding Baek Sa-jun showed various items in his bag.

I’ve packed everything I could here.

Now there’s only one thing left.

“Let’s go. We have to finish this now.”

– Okay.

All I have to do is get out of here.

Baek Sa-jun crossed the portal and returned to the present world.

***

Outside, a fierce battle was taking place.

In fact, it would be an exaggeration to call it a fierce battle, because the two sides were being pushed back unilaterally.

“Eww!”

“The west is open! The knights are coming!”

“Durahan! Stop them! Quickly!”

The necromancers were no match for the Knights Templar. At first, they managed to hold out somehow, but the situation changed when reinforcements from the Salvation Church arrived.

The undead are being unilaterally destroyed.

Paladins, clad in holy light, were advancing from all directions like chariots.

‘Fuck, this is… … !’

This is not the time to worry about your career.

More important than that was survival. If I died here, what was the point of changing jobs?

But there was no way out.

If there was a Xiong Wei, I wouldn’t know.

“When is Xiong Wei coming!”

“How do we know that! Keuk!”

A sacred spear was thrust into the necromancer’s body.

A blood-spitting necromancer. If things continue this way, all the necromancers here will die.

“Damn it, there’s no way. Just wait for Xiong Wei! That old bastard will do something!”

“What if he doesn’t keep his promise?”

“Back then… how would I know!”

Is Xiong Wei a trustworthy person?

Even the necromancers couldn’t be sure of that. That was the only way, so they did it this way.

The necromancers squeezed out fraud.

Corpses rising as undead. The Knights Templar exploded in rage at the sight.

“Do not insult the dead!”

“You guys won’t rest in peace even after you die!”

“Who would say that!”

The battle breaks out again.

The Templars charged in fury, while the Necromancers gritted their teeth and held them back.

The moment when the two groups were about to collide.

“Ugh?!”

“This is… … !”

The fighting has stopped.

Everyone turned their heads and looked at one place. They had no choice. They felt a strong energy that made their skin tingle.

Over there, in the portal that just opened.

From a man walking out of there.

“Baek Sa-jun?”

“Surely not, Xiong Wei… …!”

The necromancers who saw that face were astonished.

The man was Baek Sa-jun. Surprisingly, nothing had changed since he first entered. There was not a single wound on his face, body, or anywhere else.

The only thing that changed was that he was wearing old robes.

‘Didn’t you just finish the previous quest? You even had to deal with Xiong Wei.’

‘You’re fine, without any wounds?’

‘Is that… possible?’

I don’t feel well.

The necromancers frowned. They had a feeling that things were going wrong.

And it wasn’t because of the mood.

Baek Sa-jun slowly raised his head.

“They came in a group.”

“Baek Sa-jun! I was looking for you!”

“How dare you think of using us!”

The face was covered with a robe. Baek Sa-jun’s eyes were shining brightly through it.

He didn’t even listen to his enemies.

There was only one thought in my head right now.

“It’s a perfect time to test your new strength.”

Baek Sa-jun committed fraud.

A black aura rose up around him like a wave, then quickly disappeared without a trace.

Is it a skill? The Knights Templar, who were on guard thinking so, realized that something was strange.

‘for a moment.’

‘Since when has the surroundings been this dark?’

The sky darkened.

The moon was gone. No, to be precise, a huge shape was blocking the moon.

The fanatics of the Salvation Church raised their heads.

Beyond that, I saw a shape.

“That’s… … .”

“What the heck… … .”

A figure wearing old, tattered robes.

A desolate wind blew. White bones were revealed between the fluttering robes. Only the bones remained, and the skeleton stretched out its hand without saying a word.

What appears in his hand is a giant scythe.

‘I’ve seen it. That figure… … .’

The fanatic, who was blankly staring at the sky, suddenly realized that the shape resembled a certain being.

Yeah, that’s it.

“reaper.”

– Crunch!

The Grim Reaper swung his scythe.

A scythe cutting through the air. The fanatic suddenly felt his vision distorted.

And it wasn’t because of the mood.

“Ah, uh… … .”

“Crack… …!”

The moment the Grim Reaper swung his scythe, the bodies of the fanatics on the ground were instantly severed.

Bodies falling down, split in half.

The fanatics who saw the sight were astonished.

“Oh, my God, he’s dead!”

“Ugh, euaaaah!”

“What, what! Huh, the empty space, definitely the empty space… …!”

The scythe didn’t even reach the fanatics.

I just waved it in the air, and countless fanatics were instantly cut down and killed.

The incomprehensible situation caused fear.

“Two, do not be afraid! The enemy… …!”

“Hey, Captain! Behind me!”

“what?”

The captain leading the knights tried to calm his men. At that moment, the Grim Reaper shook like a painting and appeared behind the captain.

and.

– Crunch!

The captain’s body fell down, cut off.

There was no time to react. In an instant, the Grim Reaper, who had killed the captain, opened his hand. Then, the souls of the surrounding corpses rose and were absorbed by the creature.

The Grim Reaper clenched his outstretched hand.

– Kwaaaaang!

“Kwaaaaak!”

Then, countless souls spread out in all directions, causing a huge explosion. Screams echoed everywhere. The fanatics tried to fight back in a hurry.

Before that, the Grim Reaper swung his robe.

A black darkness, the , arose around him and covered the ground thickly.

[Your fate is… … .]

The new form of the Grim Reaper disappeared like a ghost.

All that remains is an ominous voice. And.

[It’s already been decided.]

– Crunch!

It was a cutting sound coming from all directions.

The Grim Reaper hunted fanatics, moving in all directions at speeds imperceptible to the eye.

The sound of cutting and screaming echoed endlessly.

“Ah, no. This is, this is… …!”

An instinctive fear gripped the fanatics.

A fundamental fear of death that cannot be overcome even by a mind armed with utter fanaticism.

As the spread, it permeated the fanatics and terrified them.

“Ah, I can’t see it! Where is it! Its appearance… …!”

“Save me! Aaaah!”

“Oh, don’t come! I told you not to come!”

The formation of terrified fanatics collapsed.

And there was someone who had been waiting for that moment.

– Kwaaaaah!

– Gooooooo!

It was Baek Sa-jun.

The undead charged forward, kicking the ground. At the same time, black energy poured down over the enemies’ heads.

– Use .

– All abilities of enemies within the range are reduced by 20%, speed by 10%, attack power and defense by 20%, and all resistances by 40%.

It was a widespread curse.

The faces of the fanatics who saw the message before their eyes and the undead swarming towards it were filled with despair.

There was no need to say anything after that.

“Kkaaaaaaah!”

“Eww!”

A desperate scream echoed through the mountains.

For a long time. Until there was no one left alive.
