Chapter 206: Seal release.

As experienced before, the appearance of the Legion Commanders began to change.

Crack.

Crackle.

The sound of bones rearranging echoed around Cedric.

In the first seal release, his size had grown rapidly, but this time, his body was gradually shrinking.

On the other hand, the bones that made up his body became thicker, giving him a more robust appearance than before.

The changes weren’t just external.

Cedric’s bone spear,

A large weapon made of dark iron, began to gradually turn golden.

‘Huh? That’s...’

The weapon felt familiar.

When they first met in the First Trial.

It was the weapon Cedric had wielded as the Golden Skeleton Dragon Rider.

The black parasol Merhen held was also transforming.

In the first seal release, a sinister magic circle had been engraved on the parasol.

In the second seal release, the colors of the ribs supporting the parasol began to change, like a seven-colored rainbow.

[2nd seal released!]

[Exclusive weapons of the two Legion Commanders unlocked!]

[Direct Knight Order Summon (SS) added to Cedric’s skill list!]

[Direct Magic Corps Summon (SS) added to Merhen’s skill list!]

Knight Order and Magic Corps summons?

He immediately checked the details.

[Direct Knight Order Summon (SS)]

[Cedric Exclusive Skill]

[Summons the Knight Order that once followed the Dragon Knight for one day. The level of the Direct Knight Order is the same as Cedric’s.]

[Cooldown: 7 days]

[Direct Magic Corps Summon (SS)]

[Merhen Exclusive Skill]

[Summons the Magic Corps that once followed the Banshee Queen for one day. The level of the Direct Magic Corps is the same as Merhen’s.]

[Cooldown: 7 days]

Skills with a whopping 7-day cooldown.

Their rank was also SS, extremely high.

He approached the two Legion Commanders.

“You two. You had your own direct troops?”

—We are Legion Commanders, after all. It would have been stranger not to have them.

—Same here, Minwoo. Looking at it... it’s fascinating. The souls of my subordinates are still preserved.

“Their souls are preserved?”

—Simply put, that human. The Chinese subordinate. What was his name?

“Liang Xiaojun.”

—Right. Remember the skeleton under him? That barbarian, Varian.

“I remember. It’s still vivid.”

The skeleton with the slurred speech.

He had said it was one of Cedric’s comrades. He remembered it bowing its head, calling him “Successor.”

And Liang Xiaojun’s expression, his eyes filled with despair, as if his lover had been stolen by a blonde, tanned delinquent.

—My direct Knight Order is made up of guys like Varian. It seems like I can only summon regular knights for now.

“Regular knights? Does that mean there are higher ranks?”

—There are.

Cedric’s eyes grew distant, as if reminiscing about the past.

Then he said,Nnêw n0vel chapters are published at novelhall.com

—But it’s pointless right now. I won’t be able to summon them. Maybe if I level up more. For now, it seems I can summon about twenty.

Kim Minwoo’s eyes sparkled.

‘He can summon twenty individuals on par with Varian?’

Varian.

Liang Xiaojun’s elite summon.

Its strength could be inferred from the Gate clearing time alone.

He could summon twenty of those?

And their level would match the Legion Commander’s...

‘That means he can summon twenty elite summons over level 500?’

This skill was insane.

It wasn’t just SS-rank.

It was a skill worthy of SSS-rank.

“Is it the same for Merhen?”

—Yes. It’s similar for me. It seems I can only summon regular mages. But, I wonder if it’s okay?

“What is?”

—It seems like the summons from Earth are included in the list here.

“What are you talking about?”

—The Necromancers that Minwoo raised. Their summons are included in the summon list. That’s how it feels.

“Cedric, is it the same for you?”

—Yes. Out of twenty, exactly twelve are from Earth.

—For me, it’s nine out of twenty.

What was this about?

He tilted his head in confusion for a moment, then something clicked and he asked quickly,

“So, if you summon your direct troops, the Earth Necromancers’ summons will come?”

—That’s right. The order of summoning prioritizes us.

“Then what happens if the Earth Necromancers are in the middle of a hunt or something?”

—Minwoo, we have the highest priority in the summoning order. After all, they’re not just human Necromancer subordinates, they’re our Legion Commander subordinates, right? Of course, they’ll be recalled from there.

Huh?

Then, if he summoned the Direct Knight Order while the Earth Necromancers were hunting...

‘Could they be in danger?’

In Kim Minwoo’s terms, it would be like Cedric and Merhen, his elite summons, suddenly disappearing in the middle of a hunt.

What would happen then?

Their lives would obviously be at risk.

‘Then I can’t use it carelessly.’

“I’ll loot them first and check them out.”

“Nah, it’s all yours, hyung. Hayang, your pet, took it down.”

The two guild members nodded in agreement with Park Siwoo’s words.

They had come here to explore and support the new Abyss stage, not for the rewards.

“There might be something useful for you guys too. Anyway, let’s see.”

[You acquire the Abyss Lord’s Blood Vessel.]

[You acquire the Abyss Essence.]

[You acquire ‘Recipe – Abyssal Insight Potion’...]

‘That’s a lot of loot.’

The blood vessel was a material for creating the Divine Dragon.

The essence was...

[Abyssal Essence]

[The essence of abyssal power condensed. Using it in crafting may add special effects.]

It was a crafting material that could be used when making equipment.

Next, he examined the cloak named “Wings of Chaos.”

[Wings of Chaos]

[Rank: Legend]

[A dark cloak that distorts space.]

[Effect 1: Allows three uses of Blink per day.]

‘Wow.’

Kim Minwoo was inwardly impressed as he saw the ability.

Shoes, pants, top, hat, gloves...

Usually, standardized equipment consisted of five types.

There were other types of equipment, but they usually had little to no options.

Cloaks were typically like that.

Just decorative items.

Belts, bracelets, decorative pins, brooches, knee pads, glasses, goggles, and the like were also considered decorative equipment.

But this cloak was different.

It had an effect.

And a very useful one at that.

‘It’ll be expensive. If it’s like this.’

No, it wouldn’t even be on the market.

Because it wouldn’t be sold.

It was an item that might appear once or twice a year at places like the Celestial Auction House.

‘Blink, huh.’

The Shadow Sword had a similar effect, but it could only be used when there was a shadow.

But Blink?

There were no such restrictions; it could be used freely. Upon checking, the teleportation range was roughly 20 meters.

Although the range was much smaller than the Shadow Sword’s, it was still an extremely useful ability.

However, taking it for himself felt a bit greedy.

“Can I buy this? I’ll pay you generously.”

“I’ll just give it to oppa. I also received a sponsorship ticket.”

Seo Yerim gave up.

Han Siah and Park Siwoo, who were also expecting sponsorship tickets in the future, encouraged him to take it.

He gratefully accepted.

He draped the black cloak over his body.

Lastly, the Abyssal Insight Potion was...

[Recipe – Abyssal Insight Potion]

[Rank: Legend]

[Upon registration, you can learn the recipe for the Abyssal Potion.]

[Effect 1: Temporarily read and disrupt the mental state of all living creatures around you.]

[Effect 2: Grants a short period of foresight.]

[Effect 3: Temporarily greatly increases the user’s mental strength.]

“Oh...”

It was a Legend-rank potion.

The crafting materials were quite daunting...

‘But the effects are good.’

It seemed like an item that could be useful in various situations.

None of the guild members seemed interested in this item.

He looked at the other shareholder.

“Leluya, what about this?”

Even without a recipe, if you knew the crafting method and ingredients, you could create an item.

Then why were recipes so valuable?

It was simple.

Registering a recipe made your body move automatically. It would craft the item on its own.

But without a recipe?

Even if you knew the ingredients and the method, you had to manually adjust each step of the crafting process.

The failure rate would skyrocket until you successfully crafted it once and registered the recipe.

That’s why recipes were valuable.

Especially Legend-rank recipes. The crafting process was complex, and even a slight mistake in the ingredient amounts could cause everything to explode.

—Since your pet did all the work...

—I’ll give you the recipe.

—But could you write down the crafting method for me?

Fortunately, the witch wasn’t greedy for the recipe. It was an attitude she could afford because she was confident in her ability to recreate it as long as she knew the method.

This was convenient for him, as he could give it to either the skeletons or Choi Yuna, who lived in the basement of his house.

With that, the distribution was settled.

—So.

—We’ve achieved our goal, but...

—Should we continue?

“Well...”

Kim Minwoo’s gaze fell to the ground.

—Coo Coo.

Hayang lay sprawled on the ground, her belly protruding like a mountain.

“Let’s check out the new attribute we got first.”
