Episode 188

There is a battle going on.

No, this wasn’t a battle. It would be more correct to call it a one-sided massacre.

The necromancers stared blankly at the massacre unfolding before their eyes.

– Somewhere in South Korea, an unknown necromancer succeeded in a job change event.

– was born.

A message appeared before their eyes.

A new special class was born. It went without saying who it belonged to.

Baek Sa-jun, it was that man.

“Did I succeed in my previous job?”

“Xiong Wei, that stupid old man… …! If he had gone first alone, he would have succeeded!”

“Oh, you’re dead, right?”

“If he was alive, there’s no way that guy would have come out!”

The necromancers trembled in fear.

Xiong Wei, he is not a guy you can trust either. But if you cooperate with him, you can survive here or gain some additional benefits.

But it’s not Baek Sa-jun.

“They’re definitely going to try to kill us.”

“If you run away right now… … .”

“Where are you running away to?”

The necromancers looked for an opportunity to escape.

But how do you escape from here?

– Kwaaaaah!

– Hwaruk! Pushy profit!

– Grrrrrr… … !

Undead were seen everywhere.

They were Baek Sa-jun’s undead. There were roughly 2,300 of them. It was a fairly large number, but not overwhelmingly so.

Even the necromancers here can summon that many, if you just look at the numbers.

but.

‘It’s a different level.’

‘The quality of the undead is different.’

The level of the undead was on a whole other level.

Knights cloaked in darkness, skeletons shooting arrows, golems, and even ghouls.

They were overwhelmingly stronger than the undead summoned by the necromancers here. This was because they had become significantly stronger under the effects of Baek Sa-jun’s various buffs, especially the .

Baek Sa-jun’s followers were beyond words.

– Kwaaaaang!

Among them, there was one group that stood out in particular.

The necromancer who was watching the battle felt a strong sense of foreboding from a certain skeleton. To be exact, he felt a sense of foreboding from the skeleton’s movements or the skills it was using.

It had to be that way.

‘Shion Way?’

‘That’s what the old man wrote earlier… … .’

Magnus was writing The Speculation of the Dead.

It was inevitable that he would feel a sense of uneasiness as he fought and stirred up speculation like Xiong Wei had done.

So that made it feel even stranger.

‘how?’

‘Wasn’t that a gift from Xiong Wei?’

‘What kind of gift do you have!’

A question arose in everyone’s mind.

The necromancers felt the gaze of the hatchlings looking down from above, thinking so.

And soon the battle was over.

“Whoaaaa!”

“Get out of your seat… Keuk!”

“Run away! We have to report this situation!”

All the terrified fanatics ran away.

Baek Sa-jun didn’t bother to chase them. Instead, he focused on dealing with the fanatics who resisted, and finally the last fanatic was defeated.

“Ugh, ugh!”

“… … .”

The mountain became quiet.

All the fanatics who resisted were dead. All that remained were undead that exuded a strange aura.

And they were necromancers who had lost their souls.

“I guess you guys are the only ones left now.”

Baek Sa-jun turned his back.

Baek Sa-jun, with the scythe of Thanatos hanging on his shoulder, looks at the necromancers with indifferent eyes.

The Grim Reaper stood beside him like a shadow.

“Ugh, ugh… … .”

“Crazy, so many fanatics… … .”

The necromancers looked at Baek Sa-jun with terrified eyes. There was no fighting spirit in their eyes.

I saw the overwhelming battle just now, so there’s no way I can fight. I just want to run away from here right now and go somewhere safe.

But that couldn’t be possible.

“I don’t forget grudges.”

– Krrrrrr… … .

– Kuuu… … .

The retinue surrounded the necromancers.

In the sky stood Lewicken and Iria, and on the ground stood the skeleton, Cerberus, and Magnus.

The countless undead behind them were a bonus.

‘We have to fight, but… … .’

‘If you fight, can you win?’

Everyone had that thought.

I completed the previous event, killed Xiong Wei, and took care of all those fanatics by myself.

Can you fight and win against someone like that?

The necromancers’ expressions darkened.

“You all die here.”

“Ugh, ugh!”

Baek Sa-jun’s scythe moved slowly.

The scythe was aimed at the necromancers. The followers and undead moved as ordered… … .

“That’s what I originally intended, but give me a chance.”

“What, what did you say?”

“opportunity?”

At that moment, Baek Sa-jun picked up the sickle.

The terrified necromancers looked at him with puzzled eyes. Baek Sa-jun opened his mouth while tapping his shoulder with the long part of his scythe.

“There will come a time when I can use you. Help me then, and I will spare your lives.”

“You’re saying there’s a chance to use it? What is that… … .”

“…What if I refuse?”

An incomprehensible situation.

One of the necromancers asked cautiously. Baek Sa-jun snorted in laughter.

“We all die here. Isn’t that simple?”

“… … .”

It was called an opportunity, but in reality it was a threat.

The necromancers gritted their teeth. There were eight necromancers here. They were skilled enough to be treated well wherever they went.

But that didn’t matter here.

‘Accept the threat or die.’

There are only two options left.

One of the necromancers raised his hand as if to give orders to the undead beside him.

But that was only for a moment, as he looked at the Reaper and the other followers clutching the scythe and lowered his hand.

There was only one choice from the beginning.

“…What should we do?”

Just accept the offer.

A smile appeared on Baek Sa-jun’s lips.

***

Necromancers are walking down the mountain with the undead, their shoulders hunched.

Baek Sa-jun looked at them quietly.

‘I originally planned to kill them all.’

It is not Baek Sa-jun’s style to leave regrets. He deals with everything that will get in the way in the future.

That’s his style.

I was thinking of doing the same thing this time, but I changed my mind after seeing the items that Xiong Wei had.

[Book of Covenants (Legendary)]

· This is a book with the power of strict contracts. You can make a contract with the other party, and if you break this contract, you will receive a strong penalty. You can make a contract that is favorable to the owner of the item.

· Remaining contract power: 45%.

It’s a unique item.

To put it simply, it’s like a contract. However, it’s a contract that if broken, you lose your life.

In exchange for sparing the lives of the necromancers, Baek Sa-jun made a contract with several conditions.

“I need those guys… … .”

– Huh?

The skeleton next to him tilted his head.

The reason for saving the necromancers was simple.

‘It’s needed for the main story that will unfold soon.’

A few hunters, except Baek Sa-jun, will be going through a job change event. Once this is completely over, the next main story will occur shortly.

That’s two main stories at the same time.

‘Because one of them was a main story that was directly related to the Salvation Church.’

To accomplish that successfully, you have to clash with the old church. That was the problem.

The Salvation Church has many members.

If we go by the original, it’s in the tens of thousands. It’s in the hundreds of thousands, so the number of people is enormous.

‘We need guys who will attract attention.’

Eight Necromancers skilled enough to aim for a previous event would be quite helpful.

If we ask for help from the hunters here who have a connection with Baek Sa-jun, things will become a little easier.

That’s what it was for.

“Okay, then.”

Baek Sa-jun stretched out his body.

It’s been a long day.

“Should I go back and get some rest today?”

More reinforcements from the Salvation Church may arrive.

Baek Sa-jun decided to go down the mountain before that.

***

Deep night.

In the luxurious room of the branch of the Salvation Church, Yeom Woo-il took a short sleep.

The archbishop does not have much time to rest, especially since the Church of the Redeemer is in a very fast growth phase.

That’s why Yeom Woo-il got angry when someone disturbed his sleep, and the believers knew it well.

“Hey, Mr. Yeom Woo-il!”

“Uh, uhm… … .”

But now was not the time.

The paladin opened the door hurriedly and came in. Yeom Woo-il, who had fallen asleep not long ago, did not wake up, so the paladin shook his body and woke him up.

It was a situation where that had to happen.

“A dog like a dog…”

“This is an emergency! Get up!”

“Phew… … .”

Yeom Woo-il got up, swearing.

His face was filled with irritation and anger. If it were a trivial matter that woke him up, he would explode in rage. The paladin reported, shaking.

“What? What are you… … .”

Yeom Woo-il was shocked when he heard the report.

I felt my sleep disappearing in an instant. It was such a shocking story. It was so shocking that I wondered if I had just hallucinated something while I was still asleep.

But it was all true.

“The Knights Templar who went to Yangpyeong-gun, Gyeonggi-do… were defeated. Except for a few survivors who barely escaped, the rest were annihilated.”

“What the heck… … .”

“It is true, Archbishop.”

The knight bowed his head.

Yeom Woo-il’s face trembled. Yangpyeong-gun, Gyeonggi-do. The place where the necromancer’s previous job event was hidden.

It is unacceptable that such a blasphemous event would be held within the sphere of influence of the Church of Salvation.

That’s why I sent the Knights Templar to wipe out all the necromancers there.

“Are you saying they were all wiped out? Really?!”

“Yes, that’s right. We sent reinforcements upon request, but most of them died as well.”

“What the hell happened!”

Kwaaang!

Yeom Woo-il slammed the table with all his might. The table, unable to withstand the force, split in half.

It’s unbelievable, it’s impossible.

But it happened.

“Who are you! What kind of people are you!”

“That’s… one person.”

“One person?”

What’s more surprising is that they weren’t repelled by the necromancers, but were annihilated by one.

Yeom Woo-il frowned.

“Who is that? Tell me your name right now!”

“Pear, Baek Sa-jun. My name is Baek Sa-jun.”

“Baek Sa-jun… … .”

Yeom Woo-il closed his eyes.

Baek Sa-jun. It’s a name you’ve heard before. It’s a name that any hunter would have to hear at least once.

A necromancer who played a major role in several disasters.

He was already a target of the Salvation Church, and they were planning to start hunting him soon.

“That son of a bitch!”

To be attacked by a necromancer like that.

And so miserably. Crunch! Yeom Woo-il ground his teeth. Anger rose to the tip of his head.

But that was only for a moment, and soon fear arose.

“Damn, if the leader knew about this… … .”

“Aren’t you going to say anything?”

The leader of the Salvation Church, .

This time, those sent to Yangpyeong County were not all of the Knights Templar. However, since the damage was certainly great, I had to report the facts to the leader.

Yeom Woo-il got up, swallowing his fear.

“… I have to report it. I will tell you myself. Damn it, the predicted is just around the corner.”

Yeom Woo-il turned his head.

There was a statue embedded in the wall, representing the otherworldly god worshipped by the Protestant Church.

Han Song-ha created the image of the god she saw and heard. That’s what she said.

[God will soon return to this world.]

[He said, I will come forward and set things right in this world… … .]

[Everyone, wait for the time of the Second Coming.]

The time of the Second Coming is near.

When that day comes, everything will change. In that situation, because I made such a big mistake.

Yeom Woo-il let out a deep sigh.

“Please, forgive me.”

Yeom Woo-il left the room after praying like that.

I hope that the leader and God will forgive you.
