Chapter 165 black magicSeeing the black skull-like image, he was convinced that it had made a pile of corpses.
But the man in front of him was also one of the suspects.
‘The criminal returns to the scene!’
Huxley remembered the famous saying of a famous detective.
He immediately used telepathy on his companions. This is a useful skill when hunting monsters, allowing them to know each other’s thoughts.
‘how will we do it?’
The leader of the party was Dior. There was no title, no one decided, but everyone thought so.
This is because Dior always leads his party at the forefront.
‘First of all, from the conversation. You know what he’s thinking.’
Psychometry detects the mental functioning of a subject. It is possible to find out thoughts, or to know the approximate flow of thoughts by directly acting on the mind of the subject.
In particular, it was a high-performance lie detector that could accurately determine whether a subject’s statements were true or false.
Yoon Tae-seong returned from the mine because of something scratching his nerves, something he couldn’t figure out.
I thought black magic was a unique skill for monsters, but was there anyone among the awakened who used black magic?
I didn’t expect at all that the Awakened would come out rather than a monster.
“There was a corpse tomb inside the mine, was that yours?”
Yoon Tae-sung asked openly.
Those cruel enough to do such a thing don’t lie. I’ll say it like I’m proud of it.
Moreover, in the current situation, whoever looked at them, they had an advantage.
‘Oh? Is this… similar to the skill of the Allahu?’
It was a flow of magical powers of mental attributes.
Tae-Sung Yoon stared at the person who used this skill. Right next to the big man who greeted him, his eyes were a bit nervous.
“You appeared while we were curious about it too. What are you doing?”
“Well? I thought it was some kind of monster’s work. As far as I know, black magic is not a skill that humans can learn.”
If you have a black magic skill, what kind of attribute is it? It would be closest to magic, but magic and black magic are different concepts.
There are no matching attributes.
In other words, even if a skill book appears by chance, there is no awakening person who can learn it.
Maybe it’s just a very few Awakenings with a related attribute.
It is natural to bet on a higher probability than such a small probability.
‘I think it’s the truth…?’
Huxley said telepathically.
“We are also looking at the situation in that way. But… why did you come back?”
Dior asked the question out of curiosity, but Tae-Sung Yoon made a strange expression.
back again?
If so, it means that they already knew what Yoon Tae-sung was doing.
“Are you the one scratching my nerves? Are you sure you are chasing me?”
‘Damn it, you idiot! Why do you ask why you came back?’
Huxley telepathically turned his temper towards Dior, and Dior realized his mistake.
“Ah… it’s not that I’m tracking you, it’s a fact that I found out by accident while inspecting the scene in advance. I’ve already found this place before.”
“Can you track it?”
Originally, I was just trying to ignore it.
I couldn’t just leave the monster that did this, but honestly, there’s no way to find out.
If we encounter them, we will inevitably get rid of them, but in this wide Sahara Desert, the probability of that happening is not that high.
However, if there is a way to track it, the story is a bit different.
There was the sound of something pounding against the wall from inside the mine.
someone is swearing
“The corpse is suddenly alive and moving. I’ve built a wall, but it’s going to break sooner or later.”
It was also black magic.
Not only did he absorb his life force, but he would also kill humans and turn them into zombies or ghouls.
“Aren’t you in trouble if the wall breaks?”
The corpse that has turned into a monster in the mine will go out of the mine. Those corpses will be controlled by a boss monster that uses black magic.
Or, they attack the village and kill humans, and the corpses turn into zombies or ghouls.
When attacked by zombies or ghouls, they usually turn into zombies.
“Well, if those corpses go outside and attack other villages, it will be a bit difficult.”
‘Shit! We have to make a decision too!’
It was dangerous to track down who made the corpse, but can we stop the corpse in the mine?
Will you stop or will you just run away?
“Are you sure you can track down the monster that created the corpse?”
The corpse in the mine will surely find the one who used black magic, so you just have to follow the corpse.
But if you can track it, there’s no need to chase after the corpse for nothing.
“It is possible, but it is too risky.”
Dior said.
“great.”
Yoon Tae-seong got off the rhinoceros. After that, he took out one of his spears in space.
It was called ‘Spear of Flame’, but there was no spear blade, only a spear pole. It is an item that can be used as a fire attribute, and creates a spear blade with the magic of fire.
The spear blade is made like a flame, is the magic power too strong? This wasn’t a spear, it looked like an incredibly long sword.
The spear was about 2 meters long, but the flames that could have been 3 meters went up like a spear blade.
Quar!
The wall created by Dior collapsed. After that, there was a scream of corpses falling inside the mine.
“Shit! Get ready!”
They intended to stop the corpse at the entrance to the cave.
When Dior used the shield, he brought him forward and six men prepared to attack right from behind.
– Big!
It was a ghoul whose body had changed. A monster that is one step higher than a zombie.
Of course, it’s a bit strange to call it a monster because he’s in a changed state.
Yoon Tae-seong slashed a spear of flame like a sword. After that, he moved quickly left and right.
‘This kind of monster is weak to fire. Everyone…
It wasn’t the magic of ordinary flames, it was Pyrokinesis, a fusion of flame and telekinesis.
The long spear blade tore and shattered the body and burned it completely.
It’s not a scream, it’s a scream.
However, that shrill scream soon disappeared.
There must have been at least 100, but many of those corpses quickly disappeared.
Dior’s party didn’t really do anything.
“what? You’re so… strong.”
They thought they were a pretty strong team in Africa right now. Enough to attack any dungeon.
Dungeons near the city are in charge of the government. So they mostly attacked dungeons outside the city, that is, in the desert or tropical jungle.
If you go to the city to sell magic stones, you can rest and eat properly, but it was absolutely impossible to eat properly in the desert.
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Several exclamations came one after another, and they just ate the meat without saying anything.
After chewing only jerky every day and eating pork belly, I wondered if this was truly heaven.
Tae-Sung Yoon, ‘How many days did you starve?’ Thought.
If you were a mercenary, you would still make quite a bit of money by selling magic stones.
“Oh sorry. It’s been a long time since I’ve eaten only beef jerky or energy bars until I’m tired of eating meat.”
“Well… it can be.”
There was a lot of meat anyway, so it didn’t matter. When you run out, go to the city and refill it.
“It’s amazing that you call yourself Silph.”
“I’m more curious about that.”
Todd pointed to the giant rhinoceros lying down and sleeping.
What was more interesting was that the position of this man named ‘Yoon’ was a healer.
The huge flame created in front of the mine is the effect of the item.
No matter how many such items, it was very unusual to attack dungeons and hunt monsters alone.
“How is the situation in America these days?”
“Well? It’s been a few months and I don’t know.”
“But it would be much better than here. Damn, I’m trying to make some money and I don’t know what it’s like.”
Huxley was certainly dissatisfied with their current situation.
“Can’t we just go back to America and get investigated?”
I hate Black Walk. However, he did not know much about the Black Walk, and there were cases where he went into a mercenary to earn money.
As long as he was not the main character of Black Walk and had recently joined and received training, it wouldn’t be a problem even if he was investigated.
“Damn… it’s been designated as a terrorist!”
At first, I was terrified of being investigated.
“Actually, even if you go back to the United States, there’s nothing you can do other than the military, right?”
Someone told Huxley.
Huxley comes from a slum and doesn’t particularly like government. So despite a lot of complaints, I was still working in Africa.
“Well, we got our seats, and the pay is pretty good. It’s comfortable because I don’t move according to the government’s instructions and I do what I want.”
This is why they still work in Africa.
“The situation in Africa is like this, so it’s a little bit like going back to America, isn’t it?”
If you come from a wealthy family above the middle class in the United States, and graduate from MIT, your future is guaranteed.
He also seems to have a belief in ‘justice’.
In the process of getting to know each other, we talked a little about the situation, and then asked something really important.
“Actually, we decided not to pursue the corpse maker. For some reason, he seems too dangerous, and our safety is also important.”
“There is a potion, so it won’t be that dangerous.”
Has a divine potion.
The power of the divine attribute, wouldn’t it have a pretty big effect on a guy with black magic?
He has a level 6 skill called ‘Fury of Holy’.
Creates divine wrath and divine power like a spear and explodes. The effectiveness of attacking evil forces is strong.
In fact, it was quite effective in removing the monster’s magic defense, but it was not a skill with very strong physical destructive power.
‘I’ll have to raise the potion production level a bit more.’
If you make a lot of potions, your grade will go up. It was still level 4.
“The potion that comes out when you play?”
“Well, it’s similar. It has the effects of recovery, healing, detoxification, and transference.”
At Yoon Tae-sung’s words, their expressions changed.
“Oh, that’s great, isn’t it? A healing potion in Africa would be really useful, wouldn’t it?”
The hardest part for them in Africa was that it was difficult to get to the hospital when they were injured.
“When this is over, I’ll give you some. Instead, you need a magic stone to make a potion.”
“It’s a magic stone, you just need to get it.”
In such a simple transaction-like format, they and Yoon Tae-seong decided to track down the black magician who made the corpse.
Of course, the black magician who made the corpse also knew that the slaves he had created had disappeared.
Slaves and masters led to contracts.
Well, this contract was one-sided, but he knew that many of his slaves had died.
-Shit! What the hell kind of guys are they?
A ghoul of about 100 balls is quite strong. Especially now, he was able to create a pretty strong ghoul.
He is intelligent enough to use guns and various weapons, and ghouls even use items as weapons.
‘Ttt! It’s a shame.’
He benefited considerably from raiding the Red Fox’s stronghold.
There were a lot of weapons, a lot of corpses, and they also acquired magic stones.
After that, he raided another village, and now he uses black magic by piling up corpses.
As the blood evaporated, it was absorbed into his whole body along with life force.
-oo…
Finally, the time has come.
He evolves to the next level.
As it grows flesh and skin from the skeleton, it begins to gradually transform into a banshee.
Of course, this flesh and skin are completely different from those of ordinary living things. Because he was a warlock who wielded death.
His body was made entirely of powerful black magic.
He turned into an unusually black banshee. He was a completely different being from the average Banshee, and he clearly recognized that he was very strong.
– Kuk Kuk Kuk! We need more humans.
In order to evolve to the next level, it was impossible to attack only a small town like now.
They have to raid places where many humans live, and absorb their power by making mountains with corpses.
Of course, in order to do that, you would have to make the power bigger.
– Find a place where humans live!
At his command, numerous monster mice moved.
They were called Kalomiscus.
