Episode 219
The leader of War Machine was decided to be the Resourcer.
At the same time, Dazel’s position within War Machine rapidly narrowed.
Since they had come together for mutual benefit, it was natural that their relationship with the Heavy Smoker Guild, which occupied Harkrid, would also become estranged.
So Dazel came to visit Kaimus.
Since I left War Machine, I haven’t had a chance to contact him or even meet him in real life, so this was the only way.
However, when I saw General Bastard’s serious face in front of Kaimus’ office, I was prompted.
‘...an incident occurs.’
He immediately used his specialty, Stealth, and killed the sight. Dazel had been eavesdropping on the conversation between Kaimus and Bastard from the beginning.
When the story about the palace shaman came out, I thought I had caught a windfall.
‘If I’m good at this, I can put it to good use, right?’
The king of Arba is a scarecrow. Isn’t this valuable information that everyone wants? I thought there was a reason why Kaimus maintained a good relationship with the palace shaman.
But something unexpected happened.
“How on earth...?”
Kaimus killed Bastard, the general and hero of Arba!
Should we call it a skill? That foreign power seemed quite powerful.
Dazel recalled the mage rankings.
‘Kaimus’ level is only 580. On the other hand, even if you can’t play Bastard, you’ll be over level 800... Besides, since when did Kaimus start using skills like that?’
I’ve never even heard of a class that deals with skills like that. The only thing we can guess is that Kaimus transferred to a hidden class. Slowly, I begin to understand the situation.
‘...Whether that bastard gets stronger or not, it’s my chance.’
A chance to prove your worth.
Because he was the only user who knew the secrets of Kaimus and the palace.
He could have threatened Caimus with the secret that he killed the general, or he could have bowed down a little more and gotten under the wing of the palace shaman, the person with real power.
There was also a way to guarantee a position by selling information to a large guild such as Pajukjise.
Dazel whistled softly.
“I survived thanks to the captain?”
By the way, did he have some business to do so he escaped through the window? I had my doubts, but if you have a long tail, you’ll get stepped on. Dazel used stealth skills again to escape the palace.

All right.
Caimus, riding a horse, went as far as possible to a place with few people. As the general of Arba, it was not that difficult for him, who knew Arba’s geography well.
As I was running with the reins in hand, I remembered what Bastard had said.
-I’m surprised you went against the shaman’s words.
It’s funny.
‘How long do you think I’ll stick around?’
Kaimus did not trust the palace sorcerer, White Mask.
It’s true that he gave me strong power, but in the end, I realized that he was just an NPC.
After growing his own power a little more and possessing overwhelming abilities, he planned to devour the forces of the White Mask as well.
The first step will begin with destroying Xernis.
However, the white mask was very quick to notice. He must have had clairvoyance or something, because he could see what was happening all over the Arba Continent as if he were looking into the palm of his hand.
‘I’m glad that snake serpent entered the ancestral rite.’
However, a long ancestral rite began a few weeks ago. You probably won’t have the power to monitor your own actions today.
I wonder how far I ran before I saw a high cliff facing me in the distance.
Collapsed canyon.
It reminds me of the past when I clung to trivial things to become stronger.
After some questioning, I found out the story behind the canyon and received a linked quest, but now that I think about it, it was all pointless.
All right.
Kaimus stopped in the collapsed canyon forest.
The structure of the collapsed canyon is so unique that it is impossible to witness what is happening in the forest unless you look down from the top of the cliff.
Due to its characteristics, this place was overflowing with nameless corpses.
“Wake up.”
When Kaimus opened his mouth, an alien energy rose from the earth.
The Black Legion were the ones who made the continent of Arba tremble with fear.
At first, it was just a mass of tentacles, but as it destroyed the village and ate humans, it gradually changed into a human form.
Now that they have destroyed dozens of villages, their appearance looks like the Black Knights.
“Follow me.”
Kaimus led the Black Legion from the front.
Perhaps it was because of the dark iron armor or because it was no different from the Black Legion, but even though it was mixed with disparate energies, it did not show any discomfort.
What happened next was simple.
“Bear stance.”
If the enemy’s concerted attack is burdensome, you can overthrow the board itself.
Puck X’s hands dug into the ground. I literally grabbed the ‘plate’ and turned it over.
Ku-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak!
The ground began to crack as if a strong earthquake had occurred.
The battle lines of the Black Legion, including Kaimus, are disorganized. But X wasn’t satisfied with that.
I gritted my teeth, held the plate a little stronger, and lifted it.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak! Then, with a loud roar, the plate rose into the sky.
-...It’s a ridiculous power no matter how you look at it.
The ground rising toward the sky!
Those on the ground lose their balance and fall down.
Cullard knew what he had to do. I summoned 1 Death Knight and dealt a blow to the defenseless fallen guys.
Tiroling!
[Clumsy Lich Culad’s level has increased!]
[The amount of mana consumed to summon a skeleton is slightly reduced!]
[The duration of the summoned undead is slightly increased!]
It was more correct to say that the communication with Culad has increased rather than the level. . Since the number of summoned skeletons was enormous, just a slight reduction in mana consumption was of great help.
X prioritized dealing with enemies on the ground. The Black Legion felt very weak, perhaps because it still had the sense of having fought a battle with the Red Mask.
‘The problem is Kaimus.’
It is said that in the past, the Gourmet King easily defeated demon lords like Kaimus. If the conman also did it, why can’t he say it was him? X truly thought so.
‘strong.’
There was no need to say anything as the terrain was destroyed.
Slowly, Kaimus absorbed the words and recovered from the damage. My eyes were drawn to the sight of X destroying the Black Legion.
‘The profession you’ve been hiding so closely is a necromancer? No, that’s nonsense. It is impossible for a necromancer to show such combat skills.
Probably borrowing the effect of the item. So, is it a spirit? No, that is also impossible.’
But the moment I made eye contact with X, the agitation ended.
It is true that I was embarrassed, but I also thought that it turned out well. In addition to Xernis, the effort of Xernis was also reduced at once.
The defeated Black Legion was returning to the ground. And Kaimus was on his knees absorbing the foreign energy.
Tiroling!
[Other beings are satisfied with the offering!]
[Other beings are satisfied with the offering!]
[Other beings are satisfied with the offering!]
‘This is enough.’
There was no need to check the stat window. Even if you don’t check, your stats will be increasing in real time. That number would be at a level that X couldn’t even imagine.
Kaimus stood up.
“It’s been a while, X.”
“Shut up.”
Yeah, I thought it would come out like that.
When I heard X’s excited voice, I felt like victory was approaching.
I can already feel catharsis as I imagine X’s frustrated face.
Soon, the two shadows that were getting closer collided.
Tiroling!
At the same time, a notification sounds.
[Fatal blow!]
That was an entirely natural result for someone.
“This is just the beginning, so don’t think this will be the end. “I will kill you every time I come back to life, every time I encounter you, every time it bothers me, every time I think of it, every time I get hungry, I will kill you.”
It was also an unexpected result for some people.
“...?!”
[Fatal blow!]
[Equipment was damaged due to the enormous impact!]
[Equipment was damaged due to the enormous impact!]
[Equipment was damaged due to the enormous impact!]
“...Whoa!”
Black armor that was pierced horribly.
The black helmet was broken and dripping. Dark blood spurted out from the corner of Kaimus’ exposed mouth.
Munchkin that I eat all by myself
