Appearing in front of us, he took a deep breath and raised his arms as if he were an actor in a play.
“If possible, a whole corpse is preferred, but a smashed corpse is fine. Making something out of something is fun, and creating something out of nothing is just as fun.”
Richie muttered and walked off part of the robe.
He rattled and let out a hollow laugh as some swallowed their breath when they saw a skull that was only bone but partly smashed.
Every time he smiled, a blue light flashed from the part of the pupil that should have been empty.
“First, wash the body clean. I also wipe it off with chemicals on the way, and decide whether or not to use additional preservative treatment depending on the use. Blood and brain water are stored separately as they are drawn. The same goes for the interior. The heart, in particular, needs to be handled with great care. Because it is the source of life, its beginning, its all, and its end.”
When he snapped his fingers, a number of undead slowly moved and began to look at us.
“Skeleton, Ghoul, Zombie, Wight… However, valuable corpses are processed and adjusted anew according to their lives, history, and abilities. Because this is also art, the cycle of life and death, and the law of nature.”
Saying so, he pointed at one wall with his bare finger.
There were pictures and information of me and others in it.
And it was not a sheep to be laughed at.
It was only after seeing it that I could be sure that it was Milited’s children, not upbringing, who did a background check on the people around me, including myself.
“Let’s take it easy and spend a long time thinking about what all of you will look like together.”
Having said that, he looked straight at me and said.
“My name is Gracius Milited, you are the one… The guy with the name Yoo Ji-hyuk, right?”
I answered his question with a smirk.
“When did you say you saw me, you bastard?”
“Heh, as I heard, he was rude and rude.”
Gracius shook his head and said.
“As punishment, you must have your head attached to the dog’s body. I won’t even touch my memory or my head, so don’t worry… .”
For a moment, he was able to block the shadow of Henir that soared under his feet without difficulty, and he rattled.
“I miss you, was it Henir’s shadow? Did I say Shadow Walker? I wanted to get his body as well, but I couldn’t get it.”
“… … .”
Then, Jin Ye-seul, who had a distorted expression on her side, quietly began to cast a shadow on her body.
Looking at it, he nodded and pointed to the four-armed, ogre-like undead next to him.
“Are you Jin Ye-seul? Jin Ye-seul seems to be right, seeing this kid get excited as soon as he sees you.”
“Don’t call my name with a dirty mouth. You bastard gomtang cub.”
“Uh-huh. write it like that No, even if you say that to me, you can’t use it if you say that to this child.”
Gracius said so and took down the cloth covering the face of the undead standing next to him.
And seeing that, Jin Ye-seul’s expression stiffened a little.
The undead had two faces.
It was a man’s and a woman’s face.
It was a familiar face not only for Jin Ye-seul and me, but for all of us.
“The two executives of the Big Watch you killed. Obviously with Emilia… who was it Anyway, I made those two bases. Did you two say they were lovers? Anyway, the two of them died to you. Thanks to you, I’m so excited that I’m going to twist your limbs to death.”
Gracius said, pointing to the undead standing next to him one by one.
“Yoo Ji-hyuk… Yes, some of them were made from the corpses of the Red Case’s water team that died in you. Don’t you miss something? I purposely made her face as close to her original appearance as possible.”
It was as he said.
The members of the watering team I met at the guild invitation, and those who came to take over the Aegis system and fought with me… .
They were all staring at me with the eyes characteristic of the dead.
“There, Yeeun Lee, yes! Are you the head of that World Tree? The members of the Thorn Cross who were killed by your extermination order… There are some guys made with the World Tree’s clans. Probably because the quality of this one is a bit low… Unfortunately, I put it in a frame and made it as if it was printed. On average to make one… Was it 4.7 or 4.8? Anyway, was that much consumed? I made it by mixing it evenly.”
“… … .”
Ye-eun Lee muttered a little swearing at him as if talking happily.
I felt her boiling emotions being conveyed, and I carefully grabbed her arm to tell her to calm down.
He finally spread his arms and pointed to the three undead that appeared first.
“These guys… Well, to be honest, Han Soo-young and Choi Hyun-woo. It must have something to do with you two.”
Suddenly, a terrifying thought came to his mind.
But before I could do anything, cruel words came out of his mouth.
“Because these were made by the colleagues of your teacher, Nam Hyeon-hwa.”
At those words, Han Soo-young and Choi Hyeon-woo put on a blank expression for a moment.
“… What?”
“Well? What, didn’t you know he was dead yet? Oh man, I must have made a mistake.”
He murmured and shrugged his shoulders.
“But what does that matter? Everyone will die here anyway.”
When he snapped his fingers, the undead began to move in earnest.
Unlike the skeletons and ghouls I had just met, some people slightly distorted their expressions at the familiar appearance of bringing out weapons as if they were remembering their past.
“A dead corpse with a grudge becomes a more powerful undead. Then how powerful are you… !?”
Without speaking, Gracius hurriedly unleashed his magical powers and opened the shield.
Then, the fire that Han Soo-young fired devoured the undead in orbit and rushed at him.
After a while, Han Soo-young turned her head in an attitude as if she had no interest in the undead, who did not even leave a trace.
Her eyes were burning cold with anger.
“… Say it again, what did you just say?”
“This is totally… Ugh!?”
Talking as if in surprise, he was barely able to dodge the sword attack that flew at his neck by a single stroke.
“… … !”
Choi Hyun-woo, who slaughtered an undead that rushed to him as if to protect him, raised his sword again with wide open eyes.
“die.”
Jin Ye-seul was waiting right next to him, who hurriedly flew away from Choi Hyun-woo.
Her arm shattered and fell from her clenched fist.
“It was a body made of a mixture of diamonds, how can you break it so easily!”
Jin Ye-seul kicked her tongue at the exclamation of surprise and turned her body right away.
She swung her legs as if to cut his throat, but she was suddenly hit by something and bounced off.
“What?!”
[Ahhh!!!]
It was none other than the four-armed undead that had blown her away, said to have been made by the Big Watch executives.
The guy rushed to Jin Ye-seul as if no one else could see it, and immediately stretched out four arms to grab her neck and limbs.
[Clear!!]
However, he was immediately hit by the Warhammer wielded by Lee Yu-na and fell far away.
After that, Ye-eun Lee fired her bow one after another, and the battle started naturally as an undead with a huge body rushed in and blocked it with her body.
“As we, who drank from your spring, are praying earnestly here, we should help you in your feeble act of pruning and pruning leaves, and reveal your majesty to those who block the road… .”
Seeing that the arrow was blocked, Yeeun Lee quickly began to memorize a spell on the spot, and in the meantime, I threw the last remaining potion bottle and raised the golem.
Jin Ye-seul stepped back and approached us, and Han Soo-young mumbled in a small voice behind me and vibrated her magic.
Finally, as Hyeon-woo Choi and Lee Yu-na, who had retreated for a moment, took a seat to protect our sides, Rich slowly raised his fingers.
“… crush it.”
At his words, the undead began to rush towards this side from all directions.
But I flew before they moved.
He felt a familiar pain in his heart.
You can feel the thorns coming out and covering your whole body.
Then, along with the intense excitement I felt at that time, I felt my heart pounding beyond my control.
There was no need to spend time with them and get along as they wanted.
[The King of Thorns has been activated.]
[The thorns will soon be you.]
[The penalty of ‘King of Thorns’ remains. The power of ‘King of Thorns’ decreases.]
It doesn’t matter if you don’t have full power.
Even if it was imperfect in the first place, it was the power that made it possible to fight even with that Minerva head-on.
Even if it was possible to use only a small amount of power, it was full of power to deal with the undead who were nothing more than puppets.
“No, stop it! Stop him!”
Countless undead rushed at his urgent cry.
And I could tell in that brief moment that most of them were people I knew.
A man pulled down the mask, pouring numerous stingers and wind bullets from his mouth.
It wasn’t worth avoiding, so he ran and swung his arm while ignoring it, and the undead’s body was shattered in an instant.
A woman with a pipe spewed out smoke as if trying to seize me, and a man’s body turned to liquid next to her and rushed at me.
I pulled out a spear of a thorn tree and swung it sideways once to spit away all the smoke and water. I speared the spear straight through the woman’s abdomen, and the man grabbed the head and crushed it as if it were going to explode.
[Well?]
Then, when he turned his head to the sensation of being slapped on his head, he saw a brown-skinned woman standing there with her fists clenched.
After that, both of her fists slammed into the air, and at the same time I felt a heavy shock on my body, but that was not enough to catch my footsteps.
When he literally threw the undead using the wave into two pieces, Sbangali murmured as if it was a strange thing.
[An undead that uses the skills of her life, can hide her energy, and moves with a grudge there… Milited, you have an interesting subordinate underneath you.]
Well, that too will end today.
Leaving behind his muffled muttering words, he simply ran towards the embarrassed Richie in a straight line.

On the way, an undead with four arms rushed in, and the undead, who could feel the aura of the world tree, also blocked their way, but nothing could earn even the slightest amount of time.
That was then.
[you.]
Sbangali made a clattering sound and clashing its beaks.
[There is something underneath.]
I replied quietly to that.
[know.]
As soon as I answered, something huge jumped out of the floor and grabbed my body.
Just as I was about to get out of it by giving it strength, I could feel the eerie energy spreading through my whole body.
“Heh heh heh heh heh!!! You caught it, stupid thing!”
Along with Richie’s laughter, a clear notification sound echoed in my ear.
[warning!]
[You can feel the aura of an existence that has an absolute advantage over you!]
[Surtur’s flame gives unconditional superiority to those with the power of the World Tree.]
[Careful.]
[warning!]
[You have touched the flames of the defiled Surt!]
[All stats temporarily drop due to the power of beings that have an unconditional advantage over you!]
– Whoa!

Only the upper body of the giant holding me was left, and the body continued to burn, and it looked like it had melted horribly as my body couldn’t stand it.
Surt’s Flame.
Na Il-Jun.
Did you even get this guy’s body?
“A few minutes at most, but a few minutes will suffice.”
As if in response to Richie’s words, it made a gurgling sound and burst into air bubbles.
Then he grabbed me and dragged me to the basement where he was hiding.
While being led by him and falling helplessly into the basement, Sbangali murmured in a cryptic voice.
[What, the original Surt flame doesn’t work for me? Maybe I die with the energy of the World Tree before I die… ?]
Hearing his words, I let out a sigh.
[I’m proud of you, kid.]
[Need help?]
[I do not need.]
―Wooing! Whoa!
Shooting at him like that, I stared blankly at the giant who was about to devour me even as I fell underground.
[Minerva.]
I just quietly called her name.
Then, as if answering, the alarm sounded in my ear again.
[Uses the power, ‘Dragon Blood’.]
[Your heart spouts dragon blood, and dragon blood begins to flow in your veins.]
[You will soon become a dragon.]
Immediately after, a sound that a human could not make erupted from my throat.
It was the roar of a dragon.
