Chapter 128, 8th Floor
“… … and!”
President Jeong Woo-yeon, who was looking at the appraisal while holding the black magician’s wand [Scream of Mermed], exclaimed in admiration.
He had heard many rumors about a man named Shin Ji-hoo. He was a celebrity who was said to be in the S rank soon in appraisal and production.
In addition, I heard that in order to enter the [Street of Artisans], you have to be judged by the [guild], and among them, excluding director Kim Mi-yeon, the most influential person is Shin Ji-hoo, the president of the association.
Of course, he doesn’t directly participate in the screening, but there are also rumors that he can influence the screening if he wants.
I knew he was a great person.
But this is something completely different.
Isn’t it black magic that he obviously doesn’t know at all? When he came to the general store and asked about black magic, I thought it was a small curiosity.
Dark magic was a school derived from demons, and its history was not long. The reason why it has become famous in recent years is because of the performance of the Death Knight, the end of the Necromancer series.
In conclusion, it means that it is an unpopular school. Even in this famous [Artisan’s Street], isn’t there only one general store related to black magic?
“How is this possible?”
Jung Woo-yeon asked Ji-hoo.
He just shrugged.
『Scream of Mermed [Magi] [History] [Lv. 07]』
: The centurion level Bukkake’s horn and Mermed’s soul stone met to become a wand exclusively for warlocks that creates and amplifies refined magic. It can be seen as a strange phenomenon that is hard to see anywhere else.
* [Creating Intermediate Refined Magi]
* [Intermediate Refined Demonic Amplification]
* [Grant intermediate strength boost]
It’s [intermediate], not [lower]. It means ‘creation’, not amplification or power amplification. That means that this wand completely changes the way combat is conducted.
Second is the amount of money consumed to obtain the refined Magi. Depending on the source, the grade and level are different, so it can’t be standardized, but if you want to use one useful black magic, you must have one flask.
But it got rid of it.
It means that several expansion bags have replaced the capacity to be filled with this one, almost like carrying a bot.
‘Three intermediate options. historical grade. Moreover, when it comes to creating, amplifying, and empowering amplification… … .’
One death knight means that you can use enough refined magic to make enough. Death Knights and Dyurahans already summoned can also be dealt with at full power.
It was a great thing.
Jung Woo-yeon did not think that this cane would end with just one transaction. President Shin Ji-hoo’s eyes were extremely deep, and there he could see a sense of composure.
As if this is just the beginning.
“Incredible. thank you.”
“it’s okay. It’s a deal.”
“… … I feel like I have been given a gift.”
Death Knights are very hard to find.
From finding a suitable corpse to obtaining a good grade and level, it was even more difficult, and the pre-processing alone took three months, and considering the related medicines and the refined Magi consumed, the budget alone cost hundreds of millions.
Besides, what kind of inaction do you have?
Even apart from the price, the fact that it is precious and valuable does not change. Even so, compared to this staff, it was to the point where I thought it was weak.
Jung Woo-yeon opened his mouth.
“Death Knight, can I get it right away?”
“Are you there now?”
“Yes, because it was loaded. I will take it out and transfer it right away.”
He opened the subspace.
Jihoo did not miss the moment and examined the structure of subspace through [Understanding].
‘It’s definitely a different structure. It is not a general sub-space, but a strange space where demons and spirits are the center. No, can you say space? Conceptually, it’s a space, but it would be correct to see it as an [idea].’
While Jihoo was thinking about that, the Death Knight from subspace was completed. It was a summoning, nothing special.
It was the process of assembling the armor and black aura coming out of the gap in space, and it happened in an instant.
About 2m tall. No skin was visible and the entire body was covered in armor. The inside of the helmet was like an abyss, and the polished black metal sword was so deep that it could cut through anything.
“Would you like to check it out?”
Jihoo nodded.
I was curious.
This is because the Death Knight and Dyurahan outside were not [Read]. That means at least level 8 or higher.
This was different.
『Death Knight [Asmodian] [Undead] [Lv. 07]』
: The nameless Demon Knight was defeated by a mighty being. Even after death, the ghost of a demon who did not lose the pride of a knight became a death knight by a high-ranking black magician. Thanks to the high level of Necromand, he was resurrected to a higher level than his previous life.
* [The spirit of the knight (Loading/Summoning)]
* [Intermediate Magi Refining]
* [Magic Blade (Lv. 06)]
* [Swordsmanship of the Corps (Lv. 06)]
Jihoo was amazing.
It was strange that the undead’s browsing information was displayed like this. The option [Intermediate Magi Refining] also stood out.
“Intermediate Magi tablets? What is this?”
“Wow – have you already evaluated it? You are amazing.”
He was genuinely surprised.
He even started explaining.
“There is a purification method that black magicians usually do, but it is too complicated and takes a long time. However, the process can be reduced by using an undead that is equivalent to a death knight. Although not as much as this wand, it can significantly shorten the period.”
“Are you using the undead as a filter?”
“hahahaha, you can see it that way. Also, the magic used by the Death Knight needs to be refined so that I am less affected. Otherwise, it will constantly generate normal demonic energy.”
Jihoo nodded.
still need to study
There were a lot of options I was curious about, but first I had to move from interlocking. Only then can Jihoo be summoned and loaded through Death Knight. And [Understanding] will allow you to gain more knowledge.
“Call me if something breaks in your head. I’ll stop right away. Is it really necessary?”
“Yes, please proceed.”
He pulled out his wand.
It was [Mermed’s Scream] made by Jihoo herself. As he shook it, the refined demonic energy came out.
It was a delicate work, but he casually started drawing a complex magic circle. It’s definitely different from normal magic.
I really wanted to study.
– [Understand] the target.
-6 star level black magic.
-Your [Intelligence] is low.
-The user’s [Spirit] is adequate.
– The user’s magic level is insufficient.
-Unable to fully [understand] the target.
.
.
.
-Total understanding: 56%
‘It was definitely a magic focused on the soul. Refined Magi are involved in the soul, and a ghost is like a refined soul. I think I know a little bit now.’
Then, I was curious.
What is a soul like?
In black magic, it was seen as an energy formed by the knowledge or consciousness that one had in life. It was a slightly different form from the essence of a person Jihoo thought.
-6 star black magic tries to contact your soul.
– [Never Collapse (S)] is activated.
-[Setting intervention authority (EX)] is activated.
-You can block the target’s access.
-Do you want to allow the target access?
‘What’s this.’
Jihoo was taken aback.
But Jihoo wasn’t the only one who was flustered. Jung Woo-yeon opened her eyes and looked at him.
“… … Can you break the mental barrier? I don’t think I’ll be able to access it at all.”
He seemed seriously bewildered.
From nob le mt l. co m
Maybe Jihoo’s mental barrier was beyond imagination, so he didn’t know how to block the approach of magic. But rather, Jihoo was relieved.
‘It must be difficult for at least someone else to get into my head.’
It was the result of checking it several times, but this time I was able to feel more at ease.
-Allow the access of the target.
-Connection of [Death Knight (Lv. 07)] has been confirmed.
– Attempts to interlock with the user’s psyche.
-[Death Knight (Lv. 07)] is subject to your spirit.
-[Refined Magi] infiltrates the user’s mind.
-You are completely neutralized by [Mind Barrier].
.
.
.
Again, many system phrases passed.
However, no adverse influence could penetrate Jihoo’s mind, and only after the Death Knight was fully interlocked.
“… … It’s done.”
President Jung Woo-yeon said, and Ji-hoo moved his body. And he confirmed the linkage of the Death Knight felt in his head.
I definitely feel a different connection than before. It was like having an extra arm, and the fact that the Death Knight could betray Jihoo was unimaginable.
It’s a very natural link.
Also, it was felt that the understanding of the Death Knight had risen significantly. I also came to understand black magic to some extent.
“It was great mental strength. I didn’t know that even the process of dependency could be resisted. actually… … With that level of mental strength, I would have subordinated the Death Knight directly, even if I didn’t interlock it. Of course, I will have to learn a little bit of black magic.”
Jihoo was a little surprised by his words.
It seemed that black magic was heavily influenced by mental strength.
“In fact, not all black magic, but in black magic, the Necromand series has almost all mental power. Probably the soul. No, because we have to control the ghosts, mental strength, soul, and willpower are the most important.”
Jihoo nodded.
And I could tell.
‘He’s definitely a talkative friend.’
It’s not that I don’t like it.
Rather good. That way, you can ask questions comfortably, and you can get a lot of information without having to pry.
From nob le mt l. co m
More than that, Jihoo was surprised by the difference.
“… … Can you tell me what the level of black magic is? That’s enough for 6 stars… … .”
“You barely noticed. It’s not really hidden. It’s only about 6 stars. They said there was a hint on the 8th floor to get to the 7th star, so I came here on purpose.”
Jihoo was a little puzzled.
I thought it would be at least 6 stars and 7 stars. It is said that 7 stars are of the level of a great wizard, but it seemed like a much higher level based on the explanation Jihoo received in Death Knight.
“okay. Then, shall we go up to the 8th floor together? I want to tell you how to use my Death Knight, and if you don’t mind, I want to ask you how to summon and load it.”
“That’s good. It is better to go together than to go alone.”
Jihoo and Jung Woo-yeon had a frantic conversation.
Then, Lee Hee-yeon and Kim Mi-ji, who kept listening from the side, shook their heads and shouted.
“We are by your side too!”
“Keuheum, I am also 5 stars. hehehe, he’s a wizard.”
Jihoo smiled at the two of them.
I forgot I was by your side. It wasn’t long, but too much information came and went.
“How are you, are you all right?”
“then! of course! Especially on the 8th floor, it would be much easier with a warlock.”
Jihoo agrees with that idea.
The second is that the problem of survival becomes easier simply because there are undead. Even if Jihoo can appraise items below level 7, he doesn’t know what by-products related to black magic are needed.
It would be a good study if the black magician was by your side. Also, making money will be much easier. I went to the 8th floor, but I can’t come back empty-handed.
the four. No, a total of seven headed to the 8th floor, including the two Death Knights and Dyurahan.
Half a day on the 8th floor.
Then you have to come back.
