Seoul Station’s Necromancer Chapter 29:

Chapter 29 – Trend (2)

 

“This is quite unexpected?”

Woojin frowned as he saw the figures of about 20 monsters .

<Lv 41 Orc Warrior>
<Lv 45 Orc Shaman>

He would have never dreamed orcs would show up here . Their level was visible through the Warrior’s Sense, and it was fairly high .  He had to assume their actual fighting power was much higher .  These **** were analogous to humans .  When the monsters of this race gather in a group, they were able to work synergistically .

“Rakur Ri Maktoo, Ri Keo Alphen . ”

Sunggoo was surprised when bizarre words started to flow out from Woojin’s mouth .

“Hy…hyung-nim?”

Sungoo wasn’t the only one who was surprised . The orcs were surprised, and they started to murmur to each other .

[How can a human from earth speak the language of the orcs?]

Woojin made a bitter laugh . Orc were of a similar race . They were one of the tribes that made up Alphen’s society . Woojin wondered how these orcs came to be in this Dungeon .
Weren’t the Dungeons a route being used by Trahnet to invade Earth?

[Why are the Alphen’s orcs here on earth?]

When Woojin replied in a similar words to their question, a large orc stepped forward .

[Who are you? How come a human from earth knows the Alphen’s orc language?]

[That’s not important . I’m asking why you are in this place . ]

[We lost our base . ]

Woojin was surprised at the orc’s words .

[Does that mean Alphen was taken by Trahnet?]

The orc turned silent at Woojin’s words . How could the human from earth know so much about the matters regarding Alphen?

[That’s right . One piece of the counter weight disappeared, and Trahnet became the owner of everything . We are able to exist here after we made a contract with Trahnet . ]

[Contract?]

[Earth will become our new base . . ]

The invasion of Earth .

Woojin frowned . It was a **** contract . Earth didn’t belong to Trahnet in the first place .

“Do they want to die? How dare they come here?”

When Woojin spoke in Korean, Sunggoo asked with a dumbfounded expression on his face .

“Hyung-nim . Are you ok?”

“What?”

“I thought hyung-nim was speaking in tongues . ”

Sunggoo had genuinely been worried . Woojin had suddenly let out guttural sounds . Sunggoo’s concern seeped with loyalty, and it awakened Woojin’s senses .

<Warrior’s Rage has been activated . >
<Variable Stats has been elevated . Duration time 29, 28 … . >

Whew . So this is what Rage is . Woojin bottled up his anger then he looked at the orcs . He had to direct his anger towards the orcs instead of Sunggoo . After they lost their homeland, they had crawled into someone else’s land . Moreover, they were trying to take it away .

“I’m not afraid of a team battle . ”

If it was a team battle, he was confident he wouldn’t lose .

“Bombard them . ”

At Woojin’s words, the Skeleton Magicians on standby started to bombard the orcs with each of their own magic .

Shooooooo, Puh-puh-puhng!

The fire, ice and electricity magic flew like raining arrows toward the orc’s position, and it scorched the earth .  After a moment of disturbance, the cloud of dust subsided, and Sunggoo had a shocked expression at what he saw .

“Those…those **** are unscathed?”

The orc shaman had used a barrier magic to protect themselves . Woojin grinned .

Whether it was the orcs or whatever else, he wouldn’t allow them to take earth while he was here .

“Let’s see if they could hold out against this . ”

If his magic wasn’t working, then he just had to increase their power .
Woojin opened the Skill Window, and he immediately raised the level of Skeleton Magicians to 10 .

“Kee-kee-keek . ”

The appearance of the Skeleton Magicians started to change . A black air current started to form around their emaciated bodies, and it materialized into a black robe . If they stood still, one could mistake them for people with hood over their head .
The hands made out of the emaciated bones thrust out from between the robes . Then a light two times the size of the previous one formed to make magic .

“Shoot them . ”

At Woojin’s command, magic that couldn’t’ even compared to the ones before started to rain down on the orcs .

Hwa-roo-rook, Puhng! Zzuh-zuh-zuhng, pah-jee-jeek!

When the fire ball made contact, it exploded . The ice froze its surrounding . The strengthened electric shock was the most effective against the orcs, since the orcs used tempered iron as weapons .

[Brave warriors! Charge!]

“Beat them before they charge . ”

Shoo-shoo-shoo-shook .

At Woojin’s command, the Skeleton Magicians let out consecutive magic spells . When their level increased, the range, shooting rate and power of the magic had increased .
The orcs had been a good distance away . While they were charging towards Woojin, over half of them had died . When the orcs closed the distance, Woojin immediately canceled the summons for the 40 Skeleton Magicians .

Wa-rooroo .

Their body broke down, and a pile of bones was created . Woojin grinned .

“Let’s change 2nd round into a different event . ”

He used the bones as medium to summon the Skeleton Soldiers .

“Kee-keee-keek!”

His 40 points of magic would all be used up, but he didn’t care . He had other methods he could use . He wasn’t only about the magic .

“Well, let’s go . ”

“Kekeke . ”

Woojin lifted his steel staff, and he charged . The Skeleton Soldiers quickly moved behind him . The orc’s attacks were very strong . The Skeleton Soldiers were weak in endurance, so their skulls were broken after couple blows . However, Woojin didn’t care .

Every time the orc brought down a Skeleton Soldier, it got injured . The next Skeleton Soldier would also wound the orc again as it fell . The orc couldn’t face a Skeleton Soldier for the third time . It was killed after being pierced by a Skeleton Soldier’s sword .

No matter how brave the orc warriors were they couldn’t stand up against superior numbers . Woojin killed the last remaining orc . He crushed the orc shaman’s skull then he let out a sigh .

“Maybe humans might show up in Dungeons soon . ”

“Hyung-nim . You are even good at telling jokes . ”

After the battle ended, Sunggoo was in a familiar territory .  He quickly looted the items used by the orcs .

*

*In front of Gwachun City Hall Station’s 11th exit*

Kim-haemin scratched his cheeks .

“Team leader . Isn’t this getting pretty serious?”

“How long has it been?”

“It’s been 6 hrs and 20 min . ”

At Haemin’s words, Michan’s expression also turned serious . The normal clear time for a 4 star Dungeon was 4 hrs . That meant 20 hrs had passed within the Dungeon .

The two of them had already spent 25 hrs 20 min inside the Dungeon .
This meant they had survived for over a day within the Dungeon… .

“Uh, uh, Team leader . The barrier . ”

Jung-michan gulped as he saw the barrier disintegrate .

Come out . Please come out alive .

He yelled those words inside, but he didn’t see any changes at the bottom of the stairs .

“Ah… . ”

When he let out a small sigh, he heard the sound of footsteps on the stairs .

“Ah . Maybe I should take a cart next time . ”

Woojin and Sunggoo complained as they carried up the leather armors and weapons worn by the orcs . They were bring up a lot of stuff .

“C…congratulation on your safe return . ”

Minchan ran down the stairs, and he was emotional as he grabbed Woojin .  Woojin stared back at him with a blank face .

“Why are you making such a fuss?”

“What?”

“Ah . Just Go down and bring those stuff up . ”

“Ah… . ”

Woojin and Suggoo had gathered a massive amount of loot . They had 2 full bags of bloodstones, and the size of the bloodstones couldn’t even be compared to the ones in the lower Dungeons .
Moreover, the equipment worn by the orcs were quite valuable . They also brought iron weapons, animal leathers, and rough cloths .  It was items that could be purchased on earth . However, these were valuable since it could pass through the portals .

Any Roused could enter the low ranked Dungeons .  It was possible for them to take modern items .  Those Dungeons were basically neutral territories .

However, the higher ranked Dungeons only allowed the Roused to come across the portal .  Modern items were useless .
When Woojin returned to the other side of the portal after obtaining the Return Stone, his clothes, hand-phone and bloodstone bags were strewn all over the floor .
They had to bring those items out too with the loot .

With the help of Minchan, Woojin and Sunggoo were sorting the loot .

“You are saying I could exchange the bloodstones at the exchange store, but it is up to us to sell the other items?”

“Yes . That’s correct . Wait a moment…”

Minchan opened the sportsbag, and he took out a scanner . He brought it over the items as if he was scanning it .

“Mmmm . They are all normal items . There are no artifacts . However, these items came out the Dungeon, so they should be quite valuable . . ”

“So where do I go to sell this?”

“Usually the support division of the guilds takes care of it… . ”

Michan stopped speaking, and he looked at Woojin to see how he responded . Would it be okay for him to talk about it?

“Well, if you enter a guild, then the support division will take care of these minor tasks… . . ”

“It does sound convenient . ”

“Why don’t you enter into our guild? I promise we will give you the best treatment . ””

“Ah, that’s all right . Why don’t uncle’s guild buy some of this stuff . It’ll be inconvenient for me to carry these around . ”

“…… . ”

Michan bought all the loot Woojin had brought . He also gave a good price on it .

$110,000 .

“The profit here isn’t that great . ”

“I guess so . However, wasn’t it a bit easier than before?”

Sunggoo knew what Woojin was getting at .  At the Rakwi spawn site, he was busy extracting the bloodstones, so this was a bit easier for Sunggoo . Woojin also never felt he was in danger at that place . However, if he thought about the profit in terms of how much they made per hour, the 3 star Dungeons was a better option .

“…… . ”

The gears inside Jung-minchan’s mind started to spin quickly . By loooking at Woojin and Suggoo’s reaction, it seemed they had never really been in danger inside this Dungeon .

‘Maybe he is Rank A . ’

Minchan felt his heart pound . If it was possible, he wanted to accompany Woojin into the Dungeon .  He wanted to see with his own eyes as to how he attacked the Dungeon .

This particular Roused had only attacked the Dungeons on three occasions yet he shook Minchan’s heart . This was the first time he had felt this way .

“Please give me your phone number . ”

“No . ”

“Please give it to me . ”

“You are going to bother me if I do . ”

“…… . ”

Of course .
Minchan wasn’t going to lose the Roused he had an eye on . However, Woojin was a tough cookie . He had given a lot of help to Woojin and Sunggoo even though they weren’t members of his guild . However, he didn’t want to lord it over them .

It seemed Woojin didn’t feel thankful towards him . It felt like his treatment of Woojin was considered as matter of course .

“Let’s coincidentally meet again next time . ”

“…… . ”

When the money was deposited, Woojin brushed himself off, and he stood up .  Minchan didn’t have any reason he could use to stop him .

“I’ll see you out . ”

“Ah, it’s all right . ”

“Haha . I insist . Let’s go . ”

Hamein followed after the two, and he saw them off from the parking lot . Minchan felt dejected as he sat down . Soon, Haemin hurriedly came running back .

“Team leader! I got it . ”

“What did you get?”

“His phone number . ”

Mincha’s eyes turned round, and he looked at the phone number in Haemin’s grasp .

[Kang-woojin 010-12xx-xxxx]

“Are you sure this isn’t a fake number?”

“No . I called it up . ”

“Huh . If he was going to give it away so easily then why did he play so hard to get?”

“I…I’m not sure . ”

Minchan frowned . He couldn’t make heads or tails of this situation . Previously, he acted like he would reject joining the guild yet his action right now left some room for doubt .  It seems he isn’t entirely opposed to joining the guild .

‘Is he some kind of an expert at negotiations?’

Michan thought Woojin was a 24 year old young man, who was short on experience in society .  He had to revise this opinion .  After thinking for a long time, Minchan suddenly asked a question .

“What did you say that convinced him to give you his number?”

“I just said I wanted to have some soju with him next time?”

“…… . ”

Ha . He had no idea what was going on inside of Wooijn .
