Seoul Station’s Necromancer Chapter 125:
Chapter 125 – Lich Jaenis (3)
The station that needed clearing was the Namba station .
Woo-soonghoon put on a mean mug as he pressured the people from the Sensei guild with his fluent Japanese .
[How does that make any sense? We are here to help you, yet you want a joint raid!]
[Please calm down . Isn’t this also part of the business deal? We have to know how you cleared the Dungeon . If not, how are we going to gather the Bloodstones?]
The Sensei guild’s request made sense . However, they planned on traveling the globe, so they had to clear the Dungeon as fast as possible . Why would they spend enough time in the Dungeon to be able to make a Dungeon guide?
“Jeez . This is like saving a drowning person and the person tries to take your luggage . ”
“What?”
Their expression hardened when they heard Soonghoon talking to himself .
In the end, they couldn’t solve this problem by themselves, so they asked Woojin .
“So what should we do??”
“What do you think?”
Woojin questioned the person from the Sensei guild .
“I know Dungeon Business is great, but let’s save Earth first . ”
“Are you getting a reward for the Dungeon Closing from the Japanese government? We are talking about the business deal . The first one to suggest this was Alandal . ”
“Huh?”
Woojin asked Soonhoon a question .
“Who’s in charge of public relations and making the schedules?”
“Director Kim-haemin took care of it . ”
Woojin spoke to the representative of the Sensei guild .
“Please give me a more detailed explanation on the deal . ”
“It was agreed that one member of our guild will be able to observe you clearing the Dungeon . All the items and Bloodstones from the first clear will be allocated to Alandal . Afterwards, it’ll be a 7:3 split . ”
Woojin slightly turned his head to look at Soonghoon, Sunggoo, and Baek-johngdoh .
It was a decent contract . After the initial clear, the Sensei guild would be in charge of repeatedly excavating the Bloodstones . He would have a share in the profit .
“All right . I guess I’ll be ok with 30% . ”
“Alandal is getting 70%… . ”
“……?”
Woojin had a confused expression, so the employee from the Sensei guild brought out a document .
There were several clauses listed there . A Roused from the Japanese side must accompany the party as it cleared the Dungeon, and the rights to run the Dungeon would be passed on to the Sensei guild .
70% of the profit would be given to Alandal… .
‘That **** is pretty evil . ’
Maybe it was because Minchan had languished at the bottom for a long time, so he was very vicious in coming up with the contents he had put into the contract . From the Sensei guild’s perspective, they didn’t lose anything if they couldn’t clear the Dungeon . If Woojin was successful, they would basically be gaining a six star Dungeon for free . Even if they got 30% of the profit, it wasn’t a loss .
‘I like it . ’
Woojin praised Kim-haemin inside his heart .
“Then hurry up and tell everyone to get ready . ”
“We are already ready . ”
Taguchi stepped forward from behind the guild official with a determined expression on his face . There was a reason why Taguchi had come to greet Woojin’s party in the first place . He was a Rank A Roused, so at the very least, he wouldn’t be a burden .
“So it’s only the four of us?”
The group consisted of Woojin, Sunggoo, Baek-jungdoh and Taguchi .
“Let’s go . ”
Woojin didn’t show any hesitation as he descended the stairs . Sunggoo was already familiar with all of this, so he quickly followed after him . Baek-jungdoh couldn’t hide the anticipation he felt from his face as he entered the Dungeon .
Finally, Taguchi was the last one to enter with a worried expression .
‘He really wants to close the Dungeon with this group of people?’
Taguchi knew Woojin had closed Dungeons by himself before, but he wasn’t sure if he should trust those reports . If Woojin failed, he would also die .
‘This isn’t a normal six star Dungeon . ’
If he went by the Energy Measurement number, this Dungeon was higher than six stars .
If the difficulty was on a normal level, the Dungeon could have been cleared by Japan’s Roused teams . The best Roused of Japan were gathered to form a team, yet they failed to clear it three times . After failing, everyone was just waiting for the Dungeon Break .
Taguchi had been part of two raid teams, so he was well ware of this Dungeon’s extreme difficulty . Now that they won’t be able to use the Return Portal, so they would die if they failed to clear the Dungeon .
Taguchi felt a sense of anticipation, but he also felt a weird sense of nervousness .
The barrier formed when he entered the Dungeon .
[In the beginning, the werewolves . . . Uh?]
Tagushi had entered this Dungeon twice before, so he was trying to tell the others about the Dungeon guide for the initial portion of the Dungeon . He just barely started his briefing on the Dungeon, when his eyes turned round .
Hwah-roo-roohk .
There were soot and fire leftover in various places inside the subway station .
The objects that were burning into a char were none other than the corpses of the werewolves .
[W . . . where did he go?]
“I don’t know Japanese . ”
Baek-jungdoh was the only one left behind with Taguchi . Baek-jungdoh handed a sharp short sword to him, and Taguchi took it in a moment of bewilderment . He tilted his head in confusion .
“He said to follow while excavating the Bloodstones . ”
A werewolf attacked as soon as they entered the Dungeon . It took one second to dispatch the monster, and Baek-jungdoh was very surprised by this .
Flame Hong-sunggoo wasn’t an empty name . Kahng-woojin was a large mountain, and Hong-sunggoo received a lot of attention for being next to Woojin . He was usually considered to be one of Kahng-woojin’s partners .
However, Hong-sunggoo had incredible firepower and could be considered a powerhouse by himself .
He ran with flames trailing him, and Woojin summoned 20 Death Knights . They swept across the Dungeon .
They weren’t careful in their advance . This wasn’t a hunt . It was like a race to reach the end at top speed .
“Baek-hyung . Just follow me slowly as you excavate the Bloodstones . ”
Kahng-woojin had spoken those words seconds ago, yet there was no trace of him . Woojin had already descended to the lower floor .
[What the **** . ]
Taguchi was also taken aback . Fortunately, although he was clumsy at speaking Korean, he Taguchi was still able to comprehend it . He followed Baek-jungdoh’s example, and they parted the werewolves’ chest to extract the Bloodstones . However, they had to abandon that task after a brief amount of time .
There were the sounds of busy steps . Woojin, Sunggoo and several dozen Undead soldiers were coming back up .
“Let’s head back . ”
At these words, Taguchi straightened his back, and retraced his steps . He couldn’t help, but let out words of admiration as he headed back .
[This is impossible . It’s been five minutes . Five minutes . ]
It had been five minutes since they had entered the Dungeon .
The basic monsters within the subway station were all killed . The evidence of this fact was the red portal that had formed in front of them .
“Be careful . You have to defend your own life as you follow me . ”
Woojin alerted the other group members, and he was the first one through the red portal . Taguchi immediately followed after him . This time he would brief Woojin about the real Dungeon .
Zzahhhhng .
After the party went through the portal, the first thing that greeted them were the waves of heat . The air mixed in with acrid smoke stabbed into their lungs, causing pain .
“It’s a volcano . ”
Lava was flowing, and it let out gases as it splashed .
There were over several dozen ravines of red hot fire . There were several hundred boulders akin to islands . The party was standing on a rock island that was about 10 meters above the ground .
The lava boiled below, and the green light of the Return Stone was very far away .
[As one defeats the Lava Flying Fishes, the island moves towards another island until they meet . This is how we are supposed to escape the lava region . ]
Woojin shook his head at Taguchi’s words .
[That’ll take forever . Let’s just fly . ]
Woojin summoned Shing Shing . Two Death Knights were summoned, and they summoned their Phantom Steeds .
[However, we can’t travel through the sky . ]
[Why?]
[If one escapes certain part of the island, it is set to explode . ]
Woojin narrowed his eyes as he looked through the empty Sky when he heard Taguchi’s explanation .
“Sunggoo . ”
“Yes, hyung . ”
“There are Mine Mosquitoes in the air . They can’t approach the lava of the volcano . ”
“Ah-ha! Shall I throw some lava at them?”
“No, that’ll be too troublesome . ”
When Woojin summoned Dolsae, Dolsae fell into the lava . Soon a burning giant appeared .
[Ooh-uhhhhhh!]
Every time it moved flame erupted . It was a Fire Golem .
Koohng, koohng .
Every time Dolsae’s massive body moved the Mine Mosquitoes quickly got out of the way .
“Get on . Let’s follow after him . ”
Woojin got on Shing Shing, and Sunggoo sat behind him . Baek-jungdoh and Taguchi had the weird experience of riding behind the Death Knights . The Phantom Steed climbed the empty air, and it followed right behind the Fire Golem .
[Huh huh . This is so easy . . . ]
Taguchi let out a dejected sound . There were Lava Flying Fishes and Lava Dolphins usually jumped out of the lava to attack . They were flame attribute monsters, and they would inflict damage through their body temperature . They had to get close to a target to inflict damage, so the party was unharmed .
Moreover, the Mine Mosquitoes were staying put in the air . . . He became aware that the mosquitoes were explosive in nature right now through Woojin’s words . Before that, he had thought there was some automatic mechanism that made one explode .
‘He’s an incredible person . ’
He was more impressed by the knowledge and solutions he came up with, more so than the several thousand Undead under him or his personal power . He knew things that were still unknown to this world .
Woojin was explaining something as he gesticulated with his hands to Sunggoo, who was sitting behind him .
Taguchi knew a little bit of Korean .
He couldn’t understand every single word, but he realized Woojiin was talking about some invaluable information about the Dungeon .
“Woojin-sama . Where did you learn about all of this?”
“Huh? You know how to speak Korean?
“Very little bit . ”
Woojin grinned as he spoke .
“Who do you think? I learned it from my teacher . ”
“Ah ah . ”
Who was the teacher, who had groomed Kahng-woojin? Taguchi could only look on in admiration .
Sunggoo asked a question with a gleam in his eyes .
“Hyung-nim . You had a teacher?”
“Of course . . ”
“Ooh-waa… . When you were summoned to Alphen, you learned magic from your teacher?”
Woojin grinned as he shook his head from side to side .
“No, I studied that on my own . ”
Woojin’s magical abilities were all based on his game knowledge . He didn’t know how everything worked, but he learned everything he could learn . Then he started using magic and eventually, he was able to command the Undead .
“Huhk . If you didn’t learn magic from him, then did you learn some kind of martial arts from him?”
Woojin’s body movement and his use of weapons were very skilled . His physical abilities were so high that one could mistake him for a physical Roused .
“Nope . ”
The martial arts were something he earned when he returned to Earth . He had been initialized, and he had earned those skills through the Dual Class .
“Huhk . Then what did you learn from him?”
“Survival . ”
“Ah… . ”
Sungoo nodded his head . Woojin wasn’t done speaking . He continued to speak with a serious expression on his face .
“Madness and carnage . ”
“……!”
Why would he have to learn such a thing?
“Unfaltering decisiveness . ”
“…… . ”
“Overwhelming fear . ”
“Hoo-oohk . ”
Woojin unconsciously let out his killing intent, and it terrified Sunggoo . Woojin belatedly realized what he had done, and he withdrew it .
“Ah, I learned those kinds of things . ”
“Ooh ooh . He sounds like an incredible person . ”
“He’s incredible . ”
“So your teacher is still on Planet Alphen?”
“No, he’s dead . ”
Sunggoo realized his mistake, so he quickly tried to retrieve his words .
“Ah, I’m sorry . . . I shouldn’t have said… . ”
“No, it’s nothing . He was already dead when I met him . ”
“What?”
What kind of preposterous nonsense was he talking about? Woojin smirked as he looked at the confused Sunggoo .
“You’ll see him soon . ”
He had been a scholar and an Archmage on the Planet Alphen .
He made himself a Lich through his own volition, and he had fought against Trahnet for 200 years . Amongst Woojin’s familiars, he was someone with an overwhelming presence . Woojin would be able to meet him again soon .
“His specialty is Flame magic . You should learn from him once you meet him . ”
“……should I?”
Sunggoo already felt like peeing right now . He thought he had gotten used to Woojin’s teaching style . Now Woojin was talking about a monstrous teacher . . .
“I can guarantee you one thing . ”
“W . . . what is it?”
“There are two possible outcomes . ”
Woojin slightly turned around to look at Sunggoo . Woojin laughed as he looked at Sunggoo, who had shrunk into himself .
Teacher hates cowards like him the most . Still, he specializes in rebuilding personalities .
“You’ll either become Earth’s greatest Flame Magician or you will die . ”
“…… . ”
Weren’t the results too extreme?
Sunggoo couldn’t help but swallow his spit .
