Chapter 114: New Year, and...

While Yoojin was in Yeonpyeong Island, engrossed in a three-week struggle, those belonging to the Black Company also spent their days fiercely.

"Huff, huff."

A middle-aged hunter wielding a long greatsword.

Im Jaebaek let out rough breaths, glancing at the blue aura flickering on the blade.

"Did I do it?"

【As you can see.】

"To overcome the wall in just two weeks."

Aura.

The ability to exert power beyond limits by imbuing magic with will, tearing apart even steel.

The blue light that only hunters who have crossed the 'wall' can manifest was formed on Im Jaebaek's sword.

【It's all thanks to the excellent teacher.】

"Thank you."

【Don't let your guard down. The light is weakening because your will is wavering.】

"Ah... I see."

Although Fafnir emitted thoughts of reproach, he was quite surprised in his heart.

'Everyone is just as the master says.'

Im Jaebaek's main weapon is the greatsword.

It possesses long reach and powerful destructive force, but there is a long delay between each swing or stab and recovery.

'Director Im has a habit of clenching his strength too much whenever he swings the sword.'

However, before leaving for Yeonpyeong Island, Yoojin told Im Jaebaek to teach him swordsmanship, hinting at his magic characteristics.

-His magic is flexible. Please correct his movements.

After listening to Yoojin's advice, it was true.

Of course.

If it were Fafnir, who possesses the unique ability of the century, [Eyes of the Martial God], he would have noticed it in a few hours even without listening to the advice.

'So it's even more mysterious.'

If viewed calmly, Yoojin's martial arts and the 'eyes' that grasp the skills of others are not great.

He is just abnormally excellent at controlling his will.

What kind of trick did he use to grasp Im Jaebaek's magic characteristics and give him the exact instructions?

Fafnir, who does not know the secret of regression, could not help but harbor doubts in his heart.

【Crossing the wall means standing in front of a new wall. Keep your mind straight.】

"I will remember."

The three members of the Little Runts team also achieved their respective accomplishments.

They did not reach the limit level of 50, so they did not overcome the wall or anything like that.

However, the three people experienced countless battles in a short period and developed how to utilize their unique abilities.

"Hap!"

[Mobile Fortress]

[Strong Strike]

[Athena's Protection - Aegis Lv1]

Blue aura residing in the shield.

Above it, a hexagonal semi-transparent wave pattern appeared.

Kwaaaaang–-!

With a deafening explosion, the Satyrs' heads evaporated.

[TL/N: Satyr — A Greed mythological creature, often depicted as having the lower body of a goat and the upper body of a human, along with horns and sometimes a tail.]

Some of the monsters caught in the shockwave died instantly, while the rest suffered major and minor injuries.

The perpetrator who created the horrific scene let out a short groan.

〔Minerva's Owl expresses regret that it was 0.01 seconds too late.〕

〔Minerva's Owl comforts you, saying there will be other opportunities.〕

Athena.

A constellation who decided to sponsor Kang Minho in [The Ancient Trial Grounds Ⅱ].

As one of the 12 Gods of Olympus, her rank among the constellations is top-tier.

Despite her high status and reputation, Athena was a very kind constellation to mortals.

"Thank you, Constellation-nim."

Kang Minho replied in a drained voice.

Simultaneously releasing [Mana], strength, and the〔Blessing〕bestowed by Athena was extremely difficult.

A release timing that was off by 0.01 seconds.

As a result, he had to absorb a considerable portion of the repulsive force generated by combining the three energies into his own body.

〔Minerva's Owl comforts you, saying it's amazing that you utilized it this much in a real battle.〕

Although Athena tends to be merciful to mortals, Kang Minho's adaptability was that great.

The sensitivity to cross the wall as soon as he reaches the limit level.

The great goddess was convinced that the mortal she had decided to sponsor would soon reach 4 Stars.

"You idiot! How can a tanker catch some monsters and then collapse!"

Kang Minyeong's sharp voice.

At the same time, 10 crossbows floated into the sky.

Three times more ranged attack methods than during the battle with the Rakshasa group.

[Psychokinesis] + [Trait - Resonance]

[Unique Trait - Synchronization]

The ensuing barrage of arrows turned the monsters that were following into pincushions.

"How much psychokinesis did you use to even develop related traits?"

Kang Minyeong grumbled briefly.

The effect of [Resonance] is to greatly reduce mental and mana consumption when lifting 'objects' with psychokinesis.

Although psychokinesis is a common skill, it felt strange since it is actually learned more as an auxiliary skill by magic-type hunters.

Separately from that, its utilization in actual combat was tremendous.

"Why are you standing there doing nothing, Senior!"

Lee Seongmin, who let out a scream, opened three [Spaces] simultaneously.

[Space - Release]

[Makeshift Magic Turret x 3]

Turrets the size of machine guns.

As structures made in a literal 'makeshift' form, the three turrets had to perform calculations to barely cast magic.

[Shockwave]

A 2 Star wind attribute magic.

The shockwave that spread forward slowed the movements of the monsters.

"Junior. How did you even think of putting structures in and carrying them around?"

"It's possible because the weight is light."

Expensive magic scrolls cannot be used in every battle.

Relying on Shin Joonseok was a matter of one or two days.

Instead.

Lee Seongmin found another way to utilize [Space], which had increased storage capacity up to 300kg.

"There's no need to stubbornly stick to grand magic."

A shift in perspective.

Taking advantage of the characteristic of a 'fortress' that cannot be moved after installation.

Swallowing it with [Space] and then releasing it, using magic that is not in the trait or has not yet been learned.

Because the weight that can be stored with the unique trait is not very large, ordinary turrets cannot be stored.

But it was enough to support the two teammates.

"Anyway, my seniors can't do anything without me."

Even while installing the turret with his unique trait.

Lee Seongmin exerted his concentration and rearranged his mana.

The hunter who looks at the battlefield with the widest eyes among the three.

[Wind Bomb]

A 2 Star wind attribute magic.

The condensed air is released at once, breaking the monsters' formation.

"Okay. Let's go again."

"Ugh. I got nagged by Lee Seongmin."

The siblings, who were called 'Mirror Hunters' before Yoojin’s regression, worked together in perfect harmony and slaughtered the monsters.

That aside…

There was a person who achieved their own achievements, although not a member of the Black Company.

"Master!! I finally crossed the wall too!!"

The next Sword Saint of the Phoenix.

Jang Miseon, a hunter who could not fully bloom her talent in the original timeline and perished, smiled brightly.

The same blue aura as Im Jaebaek flickered on the sword she held.

Fafnir clicked his tongue.

【My goodness. Are geniuses coming to the master's side, or is the master recruiting them?】

Without even realizing that he had spoken the truth unintentionally, Fafnir exclaimed in admiration at the growth of the monstrous rookies.

And so, the new year arrived.

Yoojin, who had completed the first phase of research in Yeonpyeong Island, returned to the mainland.

* * *

As soon as he set foot on land, Yoojin, who came to Necropolis, immediately gathered the Dark Minions.

"Have you all been polishing your heads well?"

【We were waiting for your command, Master.】

【More blood!】

【Please give us your orders.】

‘Ha. No wonder they are undead who hate the living. Look at them, their eyes wide open and glowing blue, shouting for violence, death, and blood.’

〔Isn't that the original color of the light in the eyes of the dead?〕

Yoojin, who pretended not to hear Kronos's comment, brought up the main point.

"From now on, you will learn necromancy, my main magic."

【Master's power!】

【We will also become stronger!】

"Ah. That doesn't mean you can become as strong as me."

Unlike when they were alive, the Dark Minions were able to handle spirit power and learn skills in the [Necromancy] field.

Just like Jo Seungchul or Lee Seungyeon.

'I'll teach you the basics of necromancy.'

The key to a necromantic spell is to stimulate instinct.

It gives strength to the body of the deceased with spirit power.

And it revives them, leaving only parts such as hatred for the living and appetite.

What if all instincts are removed?

The undead that you have barely raised will be standing there powerlessly.

"The skill you will learn is Raise Undead."

A skill that every necromancer learns as a basic.

That's why.

It is more faithful to the 'basics' than any other skill, and it is a spell suitable for understanding the field of necromancy.

Yoojin taught the [Raise Undead] skill to the Dark Minion group step by step.

How much time has passed?

"You incompetent guys. You can't even use Raise Undead properly."

【…….】

"In my time, if the spell didn't manifest, I stayed up all night researching. Huh?"

【…….】

"You don't even get sleepy. Then you have to study until your bones wear out."

Yoojin spewed out harsh words.

The 49 Dark Minions expressed their grievances by shaking their blue ghost fires here and there.

【Master. We are doing our best.】

【Isn't the problem with the person giving the teachings?】

A technique that transcends the limits of the undead by infusing the soul into the body of the living.

These guys who have undergone the so-called 'Union' are the problem.

'Their abilities become stronger, but their self-awareness also becomes clearer.'

It's a side effect of the Union ritual.

If you synchronize the soul with the original body and then suppress self-awareness, their abilities will not be displayed.

〔Those lowly things might stab you in the back.〕

'Do I look like such an easy-going person?'

〔...I misspoke.〕

No matter how strong a self-awareness they hold onto.

As Yoojin, who had reached the ultimate realm pursued by necromancers, they could not escape his control.

"Okay. If you can't understand, I'll show you a demonstration from an instructor."

【Skilled instructor! Jo! Seung! Chul!】

Jo Seungchul, who came out voluntarily without even being pointed out, rearranged his spirit power with an excited expression.

Rattle— Rattle—

The skeleton, with only bones left, was reassembled and then stood up.

A skeleton made with Raise Undead.

Jo Seungchul shook his jawbone and laughed loudly.

【Kehehehe! Master. I did it.】

"The degree of completion is low."

【Kegeul?】

"The distribution of spirit power is uneven. If you make it like this, the skeleton's combat sustainability will decrease."

The spirit power infused into every joint of the skeleton's bones was excessive, increasing its power, but it had the opposite effect of weakening its durability.

Giving this kind of variation is only suitable for zombies.

【Kegeul…】

Jo Seungchul's jawbone lowered powerlessly at the cold evaluation.

‘You rascal. But your skills have improved quite a bit since last time.’

As expected, the rumor that he reached 7 Star before regression was not wrong.

"Your talents and tenacity seem to be below Jo Seungchul's."

【That's not true, Master!】

"If you want to receive a name too, work hard like Jo Seungchul."

【Yes!!!】

The Dark Minions created additionally, unlike the two guys created earlier, were not given names separately.

Originally, 'name' is an essential element for establishing an ego.

Having a name increases judgment, intelligence, and strength.

But at the same time, there is also the side effect of making self-awareness intense.

Now that I have so many subordinates, I can't just give names to anyone. From now on, you'll have to compete for them.’

〔But why do you bother teaching those boneheads necromancy?〕

'The efficiency of a Necromancy Research Lab increases with more personnel.'

Even university professors use their students to produce research results, don't they?

The same goes for the structures in Necropolis.

To increase the efficiency of the structures, you need to deploy wizards who have learned necromancy.

'The Necromancy Research Lab can accommodate up to 10 people at a time. And that's not all. Only when a certain amount of research results are accumulated can you upgrade to a 'magic tower. Since the necromancer job advancement route has not yet come out. Using these guys is the best option.’

〔Are you preparing for a war with the small humans in the north?〕

'Both.'

Defeating the Manhunters.

Preventing the 'Bloody Valentine' incident that will happen in 1 month.

All of them are part of achieving 'revenge'.

'In my previous life, I was content with simply managing my territory after avenging Park Haneul and establishing my influence in the Gaeseong area. Back then, I focused solely on researching necromancy and reaching a transcendent level of power. But now I understand that even if I try to remain low-key, the constellations who despise power that defies natural order won't leave me alone. That's why I'm committed to expanding my power base.'

〔These are the foundation stones.〕

'Foundation stones, that's a good way to put it.'

〔Khahahat. How about you learn a bit of my dignity?〕

‘Uh, thanks for the offer, but I think I'll stick to my own style. Besides, comfort suits me better than pomp and circumstance.’

While chatting with Kronos and watching the Dark Minions train.

"Hyung-nim. We have a visitor at Ground Zero."

"A visitor? Tell them I'm busy."

"Well, that's..."

Yoojin's eyes widened at Kang Minho's next words.

‘Wait. What?!’
