Chapter 61: Aftermath (1)

‘Do you see an Undead Commander trait?’

〔Indeed I do.〕

‘It’s an Undead Soldier Command trait.’

Currently, Yoojin could control 40 bodies.

Without the help of items, the number doubled each time his Saint rank increased.

Even if his dominion overflowed, he couldn't exceed the number limited by the system.

It was impossible unless he stepped beyond the 7 Star realm.

‘With a C-rank Undead Commander, you can command up to 50.’

〔That black creature is more competent than you, then.〕

‘A Dark Minion is a mid-level undead. Of course, it should be stronger than me now.’

Tsk tsk.

What would a incompetent constellation know?

[Mana Circulation] was also an excellent trait.

- Rearrangement speed reduced by 25%.

- Magic manifestation power increased by 25%.

The saying "simple is best" suited this trait.

It didn't grant any special abilities, but it greatly enhanced magical abilities.

‘It’s a trait that ordinary Dark Minions don't have.’

Jo Seungchul's latent ability, in a united state, reacted to the [Scrap Metal Filled with Obsession].

It awakened a talent worthy of reaching 7 Stars.

‘I'll raise you steadily and promote you to a Lich.’

He would use him until the transplanted iron wore out and disappeared.

Wouldn't it be much more glorious to be a servant of the Immortal King than a leader of the Red Spider?

〔A life of suffering even after being robbed of life. How truly dreadful.〕

‘This is what it means to have a Necromancer as an enemy.’

Death was not an escape.

Even a lifeless body.

Even a soul that has left the body.

Mortgaged to a Necromancer, one must work until their already dead body crumbles.

‘Excuse me, Great Constellation.’

〔Khahahaha! Are you finally feeling like respecting me?〕

‘I achieved another feat. I was wondering if you had anything to give me.’

Kronos was silent for a moment.

〔Hmm. I acknowledge your efforts, but this feat is not enough. Strive a little harder.〕

‘Ugh. The level of a incompetent constellation.’

〔You immediately reveal your true colors. You insolent being!〕

‘You've only been taking my achievements. I get nothing in return. Incompetent constellation.’

〔Didn't I tell you to strive harder! I will soon bestow a new power upon you, so wait!〕

The pocket watch shook violently.

The incompetent constellation's reaction was more intense than usual today.

‘Did I tease him too much about being incompetent? I should tone it down from now on.’

The reason Yoojin returned the starlight to Kronos was to gain the constellation's blessing.

Although he hadn't yet received the blessing, his initial goal.

He had changed his class to [Saint of the Midnight Sun], combining the advantages of Necromancer and Priest classes.

He also obtained a powerful holy spell that didn't match his Saint rank.

‘I've already gained a lot, but the more options, the better.’

You said you wanted to regain your lost constellation status?

Let's both work hard.

The stronger your only believer becomes, the higher the chance of you restoring your former authority.

* * *

The next morning.

Clang! Chaeng!

The sound of metal clashing in the clearing woke Yoojin from his sleep.

"Haaam. Who's making all that noise so early in the morning?"

He had been beaten to an inch of his life by the next Sword Saint and even underwent undead modification surgery.

Both his mind and body were exhausted, and he just wanted to sleep deeply.

'Which one of them is it?'

Grumbling, Yoojin stepped outside, his eyes widening.

"Aaah!!"

With a short scream, Kang Minho tumbled across the ground.

As Fafnir was about to withdraw his outstretched fist, Jang Miseon appeared behind him.

"Haaap!"

A vertical wind blade descended.

Simultaneously, three arrows were shot from various angles.

A combination of [Telekinesis] and [Assimilation].

It was Kang Minyeong's handiwork.

【Wow. Even though we haven't sparred much, we work quite well together.】

Fafnir muttered nonchalantly and stomped his foot hard.

Kooong—-!

The ground shook, disrupting the balance of those standing.

"I'm not weak enough to fall from something like this."

【It's enough to break your concentration.】

Shwaek—-!

The arrowheads that were approaching moment by moment suddenly lost their direction and faltered.

Controlling the arrows with [Synchronization] and [Telekinesis].

Kang Minyeong, who was trying to keep Fafnir in check, lost her concentration due to the aftereffects of the tremor.

"To think he would target you."

The three-person combination crumbled.

It was dangerous to target Fafnir alone, but now that she had approached him, evasion was impossible.

Jang Miseon strengthened her wind blade without hesitation.

【Good judgment.】

Fafnir grinned and struck out.

Chaaeng—!

A sharp sound rang out once more, and Jang Miseon, unable to absorb the shock, was thrown back several meters.

[Space]

[Shock Absorption Cushion]

A green cushion from a rift created in the air caught Jang Miseon.

【They've prepared everything.】

"We can't face him head-on. That's why I prepared this."

The ability to store objects, magic, phenomena, etc., in a separate space.

Lee Seongmin, instead of summoning a shield-like object as before, focused on supporting his companions.

"What are you doing?"

【The early bird catches the worm. It's training time.】

"No. I mean, why are you fighting?"

【Because those friends wanted to.】

Yoojin unconsciously looked at Kang Minho.

"Ha, haha. Well, you see, hyung-nim."

"Don't you need to explain?"

"After seeing your spar yesterday, and Fafnir-nim, we couldn't just sit still."

They had sought out Fafnir first thing in the morning and requested training.

Jang Miseon, hearing this, joined in, resulting in a 4-on-1 mock battle.

"Do you think four people can stand a chance against Fafnir, who's a 4 Star?"

"That's why we set the condition that he couldn't use aura and we would win if we landed even a single blow."

"You failed."

"Ha, hahaha. That's what happened."

They were quite diligent.

It was expected from the Little Runts team, but it was surprising that Jang Miseon joined them.

"Hunter Yoojin, your companions are quite skilled."

"Well, I trained them."

"If there's another opportunity next time, would you like to work with the Phoenix guild?"

"The Arhan guys made the same offer."

"Their motives were impure. That wouldn't be the case with us."

The Phoenix guild had a decent relationship with him even before his return.

Thanks to having Arhan as a common enemy, they had maintained a certain level of exchange.

'It's just that the guild leader has clear limitations.'

Kim Youngsoo, the master of the Phoenix guild and the original owner of the Dragon Scale Armor in the previous timeline.

He was established as Arhan's rival but ultimately couldn't overcome the 8 Star wall.

Jang Miseon, who was called the next Sword Saint and gathered much anticipation, died a futile death.

Although the Phoenix guild and Yoojin joined hands to bring down the Arhan guild.

In the end, it was the Dawn guild, to which Shin Yoosung belonged, that took the top spot in Korea.

'It wouldn't be bad to establish a connection.'

Even though the Dawn guild was better than Arhan, they still underestimated Yoojin.

What was the point of being the No. 1 guild in Korea?

As long as Yoojin existed, they had to give up the position of the strongest hunter to him.

'They were quite wary of me, weren't they?'

Come to think of it, he hadn't paid much attention to the situation of the domestic guilds since his return.

He was building Necropolis.

And establishing his own forces in Ground Zero.

But now that he thought about it, there was no need to just sit back and watch the trends of domestic hunters.

'Even if Arhan is driven out, someone will take their place.'

Just as Yoojin had snatched a few businesses as spoils of war from hunting the Red Spider.

He had to consider the aftermath of Arhan's downfall.

'She's telling me something important.'

Thanks to the next Sword Saint's visit, he had gained a lot.

Yoojin organized his thoughts and held out his hand.

"I'll think about it."

"I look forward to working with you if we have the chance to meet again."

The two shook hands.

* * *

"Don't overwork yourself to death while I'm gone."

"Wouldn't you be in more danger than me, partner?"

The next destination was Ground Zero.

He had heard stories during the company establishment briefing, but the notoriety of the lawless zone was not easily forgotten.

"If I die, tell them the company thing never happened."

"But I have so much to learn from you, partner!"

"Then pray."

"You didn't say anything last time when I asked you to tell me about the constellation you serve."

Ah.

‘It's a bit embarrassing because my constellation is someone I can't show off anywhere.’

〔How impudent.〕

'Are you finally feeling better now?'

〔I am magnanimous. No matter how much you insult me, it doesn't bother me.〕

‘Ah. Is that so?’

Barely overcoming the dangerous temptation, Yoojin left the Paju workshop and headed to Ground Zero.

"Hyung-nim. Rumors are just rumors after all."

"Right? This is a place where people live too. It's a bit exaggerated."

"Hmm. I think it's less exaggerated and more like it doesn't capture the reality properly."

Black smoke was visible from afar.

Sporadic battles were taking place throughout Ground Zero, a lawless zone located in the concrete ruins.

Yoojin couldn't refute Kang Minho's point any further.

"Yeah. Why has it become such a mess?"

"Isn't it always like this?"

"······Let's find out what's going on."

The group entered the concrete ruins.

Wary eyes poured from all over the ruins.

【The atmosphere is a bit different?】

"They're not scared of you, are they?"

【Have they ever seen such a wonderful undead? No way.】

Fafnir, who seemed quite accustomed to his draconian form, struck a playful pose.

"Word of the spider hunt must have gotten around."

【Ah. I see.】

The mysterious powerhouse who annihilated half of the Red Spider's main force.

Rumors about Yoojin and Fafnir had spread throughout Ground Zero thanks to the Milky Way Pub and the black market.

【You did something that doesn't suit your personality, Master.】

"If I want to take over the Spider's territory, I have to spread the word."

The rights guaranteed by the Milky Way Pub and the black market included spreading rumors.

There was nothing more effective than displaying power in a lawless zone.

Those watching the group from among the ruins also seemed more fearful than hostile.

"Madam. I'm here."

"You have a lot of company today?"

This time, it was a mysterious woman in a black dress.

Madam greeted Yoojin and his party with a mysterious smile.

"Wow……."

"Oh……"

The two men looked dazed.

Kang Minyeong grabbed both of their ears tightly with her hands.

"Ouch! Ouch!"

"That's a very good thing you're doing. Huh?"

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"

They were proving their idiocy from the first meeting.

As Yoojin shook his head from side to side, Madam chuckled softly.

"You're the Little Runts team, right? I've heard of your reputation."

"Really?"

"You're the rookie hunters who gave Arhan's supernova a taste of defeat."

"Ugh."

They didn't learn their lesson during the Arhan incident, they still have a long way to go.

If left alone, they would go on and on.

Yoojin didn't wait any longer and brought up the main topic.

"So, tell me what's going on here. Why is everyone causing trouble?"

"Well, with the Red Spider gone, everyone's vying for control. It's chaos."

"I thought the Milky Way Pub and the black market were supposed to maintain order."

"They are, but it's not easy. The people here only respect power."

Madam let out a sarcastic laugh as if she was fed up.

"I see things didn't go as smoothly as you thought."

"The Red Spider made things quite complicated."

"They wouldn't have had the time to make any moves."

"Originally, the plan was to hand over the businesses, except for the ones Yoojin-nim took, appropriately..."

Around the time Yoojin went on the spider hunt.

Kim Jaewoo, the boss of the Red Spider, made an example of and annihilated the legions and ghosts that had recently been provoking his jurisdiction.

"The problem is that with the defeat of the Red Spider, a power vacuum has emerged."

"Are all sorts of riffraff coveting the Spider's business?"

"Thanks to that, the black market seems to be struggling quite a bit."

Yoojin stroked his chin.

'It's not as bad a situation as I thought.'

〔Didn't you entrust those small humans with mediation, anticipating this situation?〕

'That's right. But the situation has changed.'

The larger organizations had already been swept away by the Red Spider.

The remaining organizations or groups were just a bunch of riffraff.

Although another organization would eventually emerge to fill the power vacuum in the lawless zone over time.

At this point in time, there was no force to replace the Red Spider.

'This chaos... it's the perfect opportunity to solidify my control over Ground Zero.'

〔You're using your brain cleverly.〕

'I'll take that as a compliment.'

Bang—!

The door of the Milky Way Pub was torn off with an explosion.

"Madam! Forget about that nobody! Recognize us, the Scorpions—"

As the man with the scorpion tattoo declared proudly, Fafnir reacted to the killing intent and threw a punch.

Pow—!

The head lost its place and evaporated.

【Should I kill him, Master?】

"Don't ask after you've already done it."

Yoojin shook his head.
