. causal retribution

You're a disgusting necromancer. Do you think messy playing house is your hobby?

Looking at these lovely creatures is messy... Well, it might look like that to the criminals.

Alex stroked the monsters that lined up left and right.

In his eyes, the monsters whose skin is clearly visible look really lovely.

No matter how you look at it, it seems that those eyes are decorated with decorations. I don't think it's as good as LASIK. I'd recommend pulling them out.

Pants!

Following Jinhyuk's dagger, a blue energy arose.

The dazzling light swallowed up the entire sword at once.

Fuhaha! Swordsmanship. Indeed, that's an S-class answer. No, a mana like this would be outstanding among the S-class.

However, even after seeing the sword, Alex grunted with a relaxed expression.

If you believe in the rags behind you and shout out loud, you're making a big mistake.

Anyway. Was he just trying to deal with you with this alone?

Alex smiled slyly.

At the same time.

kukukuku!

A black energy swept through.

[Alex activates Lv5 'mana melting furnace'!]

A wide area skill that covers the entire mansion.

An ominous aura penetrated my skin in an instant.

Aww!

The head... my head!

"I feel like my body is going to be ripped to pieces."

The guests screamed and sat down on their seats.

A curse that forcibly drains the vitality of the whole body.

Because of this, the people who lived here had to face the pain of melting away alive. That too very slowly.

Big.

Jinhyuk frowned.

I felt a tingling pain, but thanks to the mana protecting my body, I was able to avoid the melting of my skin.

Sah, save me...

please .

People begged for their lives.

Most were middle-aged or elderly.

Dad... Mom. It hurts.

Sometimes there were even younger children.

'Is it the family of the person who received the invitation?'

It's too harsh to die just because you came here.

Especially if you let a child die, your dreams will be ruined for the rest of your life.

There must still be about 10 minutes left before it completely dissolves and dies.

If you suppress the caster Alex inside and stop the melting furnace, there was still a possibility.

10 minutes.

10 minutes.

I don't have to risk myself to save people.

There is no need to move hastily anymore.

But if you just lay quietly on the floor like now without getting in the way... .

" "

Jinhyuk looked at Alex.

eyes met.

I see what's on your dissatisfied expression, why? Is dying bugs so annoying?

Worms?

Yeah. Is there any other way to express this other than looking at the microscopic creatures that can only be used as ingredients for mana and calling them worms?

eating.

At Alex's words, Jinhyuk smirked.

At this point, it is ridiculous and there are no words.

That's why I don't get along with your demons. I want to hang out with them, but I don't like their existence.

Hmm. I expected it to be more realistic if it was an S-class. Was it the same kind of disgusting emotional bastards? This world doesn't roll with compassion.

That's a good thing.

weak meat meal.

Other than that, I agree with that statement.

"It's the words that came out of your mouth, so don't blame yourself even if you die."

It's as if you're stronger than me.

You don't think so?

Moment.

Pants!

Jinhyuk's sword twitched.

['Sword Graveyard' is activated!]

A much darker and ominous energy flowed out than Alex had used.

The black river, which had been burning with blue light, suddenly turned black.

At the same time.

kwaang!

Jinhyuk left his seat and sprinted forward.

The distance narrowed in an instant.

The dagger held by the reverse water penetrated into the flesh of the monsters.

Kieek!

Keeek!

He had quite thick subcutaneous fat, but it wasn't enough to block the gum cavity.

KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa!

The strongest skill that cuts anything it touches.

In a sword attack that crossed all over the place, more than 10 monsters were cut into dozens of fragments.

However.

['Blood barrier' is activated!]

[Ranging 'play against undead' begins!]

The additional skill 'Blood barrier' activated by the effect of the mana melting furnace was activated.

Honey! Honey!

The cut flesh began to heal in an instant.

Even if the number of bugs is gathered like this, it's pretty cool. There is no better material than this to use for recovery.

Alex chuckled.

indeed.

I'm going to waste time coming out like this.

As long as people's vitality is drawn out, the monsters will continue to survive.

Eventually, this mana will be exhausted and you will be exhausted.

a sensible way.

It's the standard way, but... .

I'm sorry.

what?

It's a pity that you come up with this as a trump card and talk about it proudly.

play? recovery?

Wouldn't it be enough to erase it without even having time to do it?

Jinhyuk pointed the tip of the dagger towards Alex.

huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo

The light that began to gather at a point.

The black river lifted, and a dazzling flash of light took its place.

[Lv2 'Day Light' is activated!]

The monsters twisted their whole body in the white energy that burned even the retina.

Kee-e-e-e!

Keeek!

it must be painful

Because the light attribute skill did a lot of damage to dark attribute monsters just by being manifested.

Sheesh! After all, you're using it!

Alex clicked his tongue as expected.

I've already seen it in the video of the showdown with Cheon Yoosung.

The skill that releases mana compressed into a single point in a straight line, which is like a nightmare for the undead.

So, I prepared for it.

If that skill is activated, it will spread immediately.

Alex redistributed mana.

The command of the commander dug into the minds of the undead.

However.

For some reason, the undead didn't even move from their place.

What, what?

what is it

I've frozen the soles of my feet, so of course I just can't move.

In order to maximize the effect of the skill, Jinhyeok put together several combinations of the skills he possesses.

One of them was using the wide-area skill 'Day Light' and 'Ice Sculpting' that restricts movement.

The only downside of 'Day Light' is the time it takes to activate. However, if it is ice modeling, it can be supplemented.

with this

It's a check mate.

The corner of Jinhyuk's mouth went up.

right at that moment.

KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa!

A huge light engulfed the monsters.

Chi profit!

Heat rose from the ground.

Not a single monster survived.

This is because all cells that can regenerate have all evaporated.

'I used it for the first time, but it exceeded my expectations.'

Jinhyuk let out a small exclamation.

Fusing the copied skills to create a new skill with a higher version.

By combining them, we create a board optimized for battle.

The exhilaration that came out of it was incomparable to anything else.

On the other hand.

Hey, this can't be...

Alex couldn't accept this situation at all.

10 minutes. It was a fight that ended in just 10 minutes.

If all the humans in this place were dissolved, it was possible to summon a higher level undead monster.

But the undead who even used the 'Blood Barrier' were wiped out with one blow.

It's impossible.

Damn it!

chuck!

Alex pulled a scalpel out of his arms.

Transparent liquid dripped from the sharp blade.

It is poison.

No, I know it's desperate.

Are you serious?

Necromancers are coming in close combat?

when I thought so.

Alex threw the scalpel in his hand.

An attack that flew in precisely aimed at the face.

Kaang!

Jinhyuk smashed it in one hit.

The scalpel, cut in half, fell on the floor.

It's disappointing. Was the thought of doing it at best an escape?

Why did you draw attention with your weapon?

It seems that he was planning on escaping while diverting attention for a moment through the throw.

Black smoke billowed around Alex's body.

A special skill that can only be used by magicians.

'Twisted Gap.'

It was an escape for short-distance space movement.

sssss.

The smoke grew thicker and thicker.

The skill is about to be activated.

sure. It wasn't Jinhyuk who was just watching it.

"Throwing is what you do."

It is basic to figure out the shortest distance to the target.

And you have to be so fast that your opponent can't respond.

Whoops!

The dagger that had left Jinhyuk's hand penetrated Alex's chest.

Aww!

Skill activation was canceled with heavy pain.

How is it, I gave you some level of education. Do you understand?

Cool! Kuk! Kook!

Ah! You don't have to answer so hard. Because the place where the dagger is now is the lungs, it won't be easy to breathe.

Turn it off... Buy it, save it...

"Do you really enjoy seeing other people suffer, but you don't like it?"

Isn't that a bit unfair?

A true necromancer should learn to enjoy his pain.

Cuckoo, cuckoo. Kruckle...

Alex grabbed Jinhyuk's shoes, but Jinhyuk ignored his plea.

From now on, I'll tell you how you're going to die.

I'm giving life spoilers, so listen carefully.

Because it's about you and not anyone else.

Your lungs will slowly bleed over the next couple of hours.

Human life is surprisingly tough.

Somehow, all the organs in the body are doing their part to make me survive even one second longer.

And only after that long period of time will you be able to suffocate with blood in your lungs.

It wasn't as bad as dying by fire, but it was also one of the most gruesome.

The more he heard about his own fate, the more terribly Alex's face became distorted.

"That ah no."

Of course, I can save you from suffering for a long time. If you shut down the mana melting furnace yourself.

...!

Why? No wonder, is there still any loyalty to the Magic Association? If I die anyway, everything will be in vain?

It would be a big mistake if you knew how to keep your spirit until the very end, to hang a portrait in the Mine Association and hold a ancestral rite every year.

Alex's worth was, at best, nothing more than a throwaway card.

'I'll use it for dangerous things like this and replace it with a new one when I no longer need it.'

So you don't have to be loyal to them.

Just let go and be comfortable.

Because that would be good for each other.

The worries didn't last long.

I know... I know. Promise. Cool! Promise...

I'll protect you, stop the mana melting furnace.

" "

Eventually, Alex snapped his fingers as if determined.

OK.

[Alex destroys the 'mana melting furnace'!]

['Blood barrier' is dismantled!]

Mana, who was holding the mansion, disappeared.

At the same time, the moans of the guests also subsided.

Now... Free me from this damn pain.... Gagging! Cool! Cool! My heart feels like it's going to burn with every breath I take.

Alex begged.

With every word he uttered, his expression became more and more desperately contorted.

It's probably the feeling of pricking a hot skewer deep in your lungs.

I'm sorry, but I don't really like killing people.

what?

Life is the most precious law, so I couldn't take my life with my own hands.

"Hey, what kind of dog is that Lee."

Alex reached out to Jinhyuk.

Of course, he couldn't even grab Jinhyuk's crotch with his hands, which were slowly opened.

'It's a last resort suitable for garbage.'

No, 1 hour is too short.

Considering the evil he has done so far.

Necromancer's former Quest. You don't need to have any sympathy just for being successful.

Die as long and painfully as possible.

While apologizing for the sins of experimenting on the human body with innocent people and making them undead by insulting the dead.
