Chapter 41
There are two paths to becoming a necromancer.
Commander Necromancer and Demolition Necromancer.
They were called Zeke and Fox, and although it wasn’t their official name, people called them that to make it easier to call them.
While Zeke’s strength is his high DPS (damage per second), which allows him to safely and consistently deal damage while commanding numerous undead, including high-ranking undead, the strength of Fox lies in his instantaneous burst damage.
And the thing responsible for that explosion is the corpse explosion.
A morale skill that makes up for all your mistakes if you succeed in making a big hit just once, even if you’re being beaten all the time.
It’s not for nothing that people say that it’s a huge one-tool.
‘That’s all.’
However, to put it another way, it also means that if there is no large body, it is a corpse.
An extremely evil character that can either be a scam job or a trash job, depending on whether or not it is a huge success.
That’s why Do-hyun didn’t stop being on guard the moment he saw the corpse explode.
‘If you have that level of spec, you’ll die in one hit.’
No matter how high Do-hyun ’s abilities are, he won’t be able to withstand the explosion of corpses from a hero-level named boss.
In fact, it was convenient to think of it as an instant death pattern.
The instant death pattern in Raven, which only exists at level 24 or lower……. It was a boss that urgently needed a difficulty patch, but by Do-hyun ’s standards, this was a good level.
‘Because there is a pattern in which the raid progresses only when the user dies later on.’
Is that all? He also incorporated a pattern that inevitably leads to death.
Demlok is said to be a noble person, but they say there are a lot of bosses with that kind of setup in God Ose, so…….
So, instead of complaining, Dohyun came up with a strategy.
If you’re going to spend a lot anyway, make sure you can use it when you want. This created a situation where he had no choice but to use his special move.
Sure enough, when I got angry and pretended that he was dangerous, he used extreme force as if he had been waiting.
[The mark disappears.]
I can’t even imagine that Do-hyun lured him in by measuring the duration of the back-grab mark.
Explosive necromancer with a major missing piece?
I was a weak being who couldn’t lose even if I wanted to.
Not only did they lose their biggest asset, the undead, on a large scale, but they also lost their special skills.
What if you gave up the distance against a close range opponent?
If you hit someone, you have to hit them the way they hit you.
[Dealing a fatal blow.]
“Kwaeeek! Now, wait a moment……“Wow!”
……like now.
puck! Suddenly!
[Wow! Hehehe!]
And that’s during the long cooldown of a whopping 4 minutes.
And for Do-hyun , 4 minutes was enough. There’s still time to use it four more times.
Jihad, who had consumed most of the undead, had no choice but to be hit like a dog.
These were the words of Fox, who failed to use them to a great extent.
This was also the reason why most people chose Zeke’s path even though he had the highest level of instant burst damage among all classes.
“Poetry, body explosion……“Wow!”
Bah!
“Now, just a moment…….”
puck! Puff puff!
“iced coffee! bone! Bones are foul!”
Suddenly – boom! Bye!
“You, you want revenge……Kueh! Joe, be a little gentle…….”
At first, Jihad was struggling, throwing and exploding the remaining corpses as much as he could, but Dohyun was not the type to face such a blind attack.
Jihad, who seemed solemn and noble as he was hit like he was breathing, was reborn as more servile than anyone else in the world.
……Who would think that the guy who protests that he got hit in the bone is a hero-level named boss?
‘This is my first time seeing a boss like this again.’
Right now, Do-hyun was also the first to see a guy like this.
Is this a survivor of the great Black clan?
I don’t know exactly what kind of clan they are doing, but seeing this will be shocking.
‘That’s strange.’
Do-hyun was more excited about beating people because he didn’t want to see them, but at the same time, it was hard to understand on the inside.
Exactly, I had a question.
‘Is this at the level of a hero?’
Dohyun planned the strategy well and executed it well.
The enormous power was so great that even a level 50 user would have died instantly if it had been hit.
Maybe it’s even more than that.
Thanks to his nimble hands, the activation speed was faster than that of a normal wide attack, so if the back grab had a cooldown time, he probably would have died without being able to move.
They even throw curse balls at you, so if you corner them with dark vision and use a lot of force, there will be no way to avoid them.
‘I understand that…….’
Even taking that into account, it was weak.
It’s true that it’s difficult for a level 24 user to defeat alone, but is this really a hero-level named boss that lives in Bidun?
I think it would be easier than the field boss if you knew the strategy, right?
Even with such doubts, Do-hyun did not stop swinging his sword.
puck! Bye!
Suddenly – boom!
“Kkuek! Ouch! “Huh!”
Beating and stabbing, cutting and stabbing.
[The mark disappears.]
[Dealing a fatal blow.]
Then, when it runs away, I chase after it and deal explosive damage.
By the time I repeated that a few times.
[The HP of ‘Jihad Black’, the boss of the secret dungeon, has fallen below 30%.]
[Phase 2 begins.]
[The characteristic ‘lineage factor’ appears.]
Do-hyun paused for the first time at the message that appeared before his eyes.
And that moment.
“Hehe……Hehehe…….”
Jihad, who was extremely servile, burst into laughter for the first time.
And the atmosphere changed.
Suuuu-.
A black gas thicker than skin rises.
Even at a glance, the black smoke spreading out as if coming from the pores of the body gave off a dangerous vibe.
[I waited for this moment…….]
A voice that cracks like scratching rusty iron.
The eyes, which were shining green, turned pitch black, making it difficult to distinguish them unless you looked closely.
It almost seemed like a single darkness in the shape of a goblin.
[I haven’t polished it properly yet……I can’t help it…….]
In Jihad’s self-confident appearance, the servile appearance he had shown just before was nowhere to be seen.
It was worth it.
[Jihad Black is awakening the bloodline factor inherent in the body.]
[The pedigree is in an incomplete stage. The full effect cannot be achieved.]
[When the expression of the bloodline factor is completed, the level of Jihad increases.]
rise in rank.
Commonly used in fantasy, it refers to the elevation of existence itself, and in this case, it meant an increase in level.
I don’t know how much it will rise, but it will rise at least one level.
‘Hero+…….’
Then, the minimum level is Hero+.
The difference between Hero grade and Hero+ grade was not simply a gap in one grade.
To put it exaggeratedly, the gap is so extreme that it can be seen as the difference between a river and the sea.
Since the raid, in which multiple attack teams are formed in earnest, begins at Hero+ level, all that has been said is said.
Even Dohyun couldn’t guarantee when that trait would manifest.
Considering that this bidon is a one-person dungeon, it is a system designed to simply fail to clear the dungeon the moment it appears.
[While awakening the bloodline factor, Jihad Black enters concentration and his abilities increase during this time.]
[Stamina recovery increases.]
[Defense increases.]
[Magic resistance increases.]
Yes, when it manifests.
“Invest 20 in strength.”
[Strength increases by +20.]
[Strength exceeds 100.]
With this, Do-hyun ’s ability level exceeded 100.
To be exact, 110 strength.
Even considering all ability rewards, it was an incredible stat.
If you are a user who has gone through normal stat distribution, you will need to reach level 40 to receive this number.
Considering his other abilities and remaining points, the current Dohyun has more potential.
‘Somehow I ended up losing too much strength…….’
Agility is also at a level of 71, so this is not a bad balance.
This is the perfect situation to hit a stationary punching bag.
[Suddenly what……! This is such a ridiculous change!]
Did you feel a change in Do-hyun ’s energy as he raised his abilities?
Jihad was a miraculous talent, but now that talent was having a negative impact.
It was better to get hit without knowing, because now I had to know and get hit.
Increased defense?
Increased stamina recovery?
[Applies to Warrior Set.]
[7% additional damage is applied to goblin-type enemies.]
[The effect of rage deals 10% additional damage to the boss.]
[Due to the effect of level 10 sword skill, sword-related damage increases by 10%.]
‘The law is equal in front of Diljjiknu.’
I don’t know what the original strategy was, but I wasn’t curious right now.
Because I wanted to use a better strategy than anything else.
Jump and jump.
[Oh, don’t come……!]
Is it an illusion that Jihad Black’s complexion is becoming increasingly pale as he sees Do-hyun approaching?
[ah……iced coffee…….]
Do-hyun stretched out his hand, feeling that his pitch-black skin looked a little lighter.
The elegantly drawn sword line pierced Jihad’s neck, and soon a goblin’s heartbreaking scream rang out in the hideout.
* * *
[You have defeated the boss of the secret dungeon, ‘Jihad Black.’]
[You have cleared the secret dungeon, Black Goblin Shaman’s Hideout.]
[The rewards are amplified by clearing the secret dungeon for the first time.]
[It is recorded in the Adventure Book.]
[A hidden achievement has been achieved.]
[Sword mastery increases.]
[Sword mastery has reached LV11.]
[Dagger proficiency increases.]
[Dagger proficiency has reached LV6.]
[The level increases.]
Do-hyun sighed as he watched the feast of countless messages come to mind.
“and……“It was breathtaking.”
30 seconds……No, if it had been 10 seconds later, the bloodline factor would have been activated.
It was such a tight time frame.
The increase in his defense was so great that I wondered if I should increase my strength even more.
‘They made this for those below level 24 to complete?’
Even if you are a swordsman who only focuses on strength and agility, you must be level 40.
Even considering the numerous additional damage effects that Dohyun had, it might have been difficult to use a strategy to deal damage even at level 40.
It was absurd to break it himself, but Do-hyun succeeded anyway.
“nice…….”
And the resulting fruit was very sweet.
My level went up, my swordsmanship proficiency, which was not very high, also went up, and I even succeeded in raising my dagger proficiency.
‘It would have been great if the predation effect had been activated.’
This time too, since it was the same goblin type, the only flaw was that I couldn’t feast on it.
I thought they might give me a raise since I was part of the Black clan and all, but the system was like a sword.
Well, it would be too conscienceless to ask for this, so let’s move on…….
‘compensation! Let’s see the reward.’
This is the reward you get after beating the secret dungeon that was discovered for the first time.
It’s also a hero-level secret dungeon. The quality could never have been low.
[If you attack for the first time, boss-related equipment items will definitely drop.]
[An additional 30% drop rate applies.]
There is even a guaranteed reward for the first attack this time!
In addition, the drop rate is applied up to 30%.
‘Please hero level!’
Normally I wouldn’t want it, but I can hope for it this time!
It’s strange that I don’t want this!
[Would you like to harvest Jihad Black’s essence beads?]
“uh.”
Essence Bead.
As with Warriors and Chiefs, it is an essence that appears after defeating a boss. To put it simply, it is convenient to think of it as a random reward box.
When I accepted it without hesitation, the light of the essence that had been gathered in the shape of a bead dispersed and sparkled like a firefly.
These are the items that came to mind.
[As a reward, you will receive the Black Goblin Shaman’s Vengeance Bead, Traces of a Forgotten Clan, Black Goblin Shaman’s Robe, and Jihad Black Card.]
“and…….”
Do-hyun , who could not have expected more than this, checked the reward with excitement.
