Seoul Station’s Necromancer Chapter 160:


Chapter 160 – We are the New Recruits

 

They had expected a dangerous Dungeon to be present across the red portal . However, their expectation was broken as a well-maintained castle appeared in front of them .  They couldn’t help, but be puzzled by this .

Kahng-woojin was unlike his previous self where he had put the fear of **** in the new recruits .  He was unusually free and easy .

“Get in line . ”

“…… . ”

“I have a question . ”

“I don’t take any questions . ”

“Yes, sir . ”

His words were still very rough .

“You .  Step forward . ”

“Yes . ”

Woojin stared at the man in front of him .

<Lv 22 Kim-joonyong>

“You are Rank E?”

“Yes .  You are correct . ”

“How many abilities do you have?”

“I have three . ”

“Show it to me . ”

“You want me to do it here?”

“Of course? Where else are you going to do it?  Hurry up and show me . ”

“Yes, sir!”

Kim-joonyong possessed a simple electric attack, telekinesis that could move objects, and a buff that slightly improved his physical ability .

“You really learned a motley of skills . ”

“I…I’m sorry . ”

It wasn’t as if he had learned these abilities, because he wanted to learn them .   He naturally developed these Roused abilities .  The problem was that his abilities didn’t complement each other at all .

Then he had hesitated in determining which ability he wanted to focus on .  This in turn delayed his growth .  He was what many people referred to as a mutt .

“What are you sorry for?”

However, Woojin liked the mutt characters the most . The strengthening of abilities could be resolved by working them hard .  However, it was better to have numerous abilities . This man hadn’t used Skill Books .  He had naturally developed three Roused Skills, and that was respectable .

It meant he had high growth potential .

“Eat this . ”

Woojin purchased a Reinforcement Stone that went well with Kim-joonyong from the Dimensional store .  The Items he bought from the Achievement Store was non-transferable .  However, the Items bought from Dimensional Store could be given to others, and the intrinsic effect within these Items weren’t diminished at all .

Then there were the Items from the miscellaneous store, Reinforcement Stone store, weapons shop and others buildings located in his Domain .  He had access to their products through the Dimensional Store .

“W…what is this?”

“I won’t take any questions . ”

“…… . ”

He didn’t know what it was yet he was expected to eat it?

Kim-joonyong looked ready to cry as he received the Reinforcement Stone .  The Roused next to him had been watching Kim-joonyong, and he was cautious as he spoke up .

“It looks like a Reinforcement Stone . Just shut up and absorb it . ”

“R…really?”

Kim-joonyong held the Reinforcement Stone as if he couldn’t believe what was happening .  Kim-joonyong was confused by his current situation .

His eyes met Kahng-woojin’s eyes .

“I’m always right .  Hurry up and eat it .  Do it before you die . ”

“……!”

He wasn’t sure if Woojin was nice or brutal .

Kim-joonyong opened his eyes after absorbing the Reinforcement Stone, and he saw several more laid out in front of him .

“Eat it in order . ”

When he turned his gaze, he caught sight of all the other people absorbing the Reinforcement Stones .

‘Is it really ok to shovel all of this into us?’

He wanted to ask the question, but he knew he would be disciplined again .  So he didn’t dare voice his question .

Even the ones that inadequately increased one’s abilities were expensive .  Even if he was given a inefficient Reinforcement Stone, it was basically a luxury item .  He couldn’t believe his luck today .  He’ll be able to absorb numerous Reinforcement Stones in a row .

The Reinforcement Stone were of the highest quality .  He could feel his strength increase .

‘How much was this all worth?  Several hundred thousand dollars?’

These were amazing Items that he couldn’t even dream about eating, yet Kahng-woojin was shoveling these Items towards him .  Kahn-woojin looked like an angel to him right now .

“I want you to learn all of this . ”

Woojin gave him consecutive Skill Books .  

Even the worst Skill Books were worth couple hundred thousand dollars .  This was how laughable money was in regards to Skills .  The amount of Items he consumed was worth couple hundred thousand…no, it might sell for millions on auction .

He was only a Rank E Roused .  The gifts were too excessive to merely call it a kindness .

‘I’m sure he is a Tsundere . ’

Kim-jongyoon thought he had a rough idea on what was going on .

He now knew what kind of man Kahng-woojin was .

Kim-joonyong looked at him with eyes full of good will .

Woojin silently waited as the twenty three new recruits absorbed the Reinforcement Stones, and they learned the Skills .

They needed a basic foundation of Skills and Stats .  Then they could be trained .

The fact that he knew their level, and what type of abilities they possessed didn’t mean he could discern their battle style and tendencies .  This meant he had to let them loose after teaching them the basics . The path for their growth will will eventually be revealed .

“Well, if you are done, we are going to the training ground . ”

He had already closed the earlier portal he had used to return here .  He had no choice, but to go through Necia’s Pillar if he wanted to reach Planet Jaku .

When they followed him through the portal, they arrived at a Dungeon where the enormous Necia’s Pillar was located at . These new recruits exited the Domain, and they took their first steps onto the Planet Jaku .

Their expressions varied .  There were fear, excitement, anticipation, confidence, tension and other emotions .  There was a broad spectrum of emotions on their faces .

They were scared, but it seemed they wanted to test out their newly learned Skills, and the newly absorbed power from the Reinforcement Stones .

However, it wouldn’t be efficient for him to teach each one of them .  This was the reason why he had trained underlings beforehand, so they could do the work for him .

Kahhhhhhhk!

A roar split the sky .  The new recruits whispered to each other as they saw the Wyvern approaching their location .

“It’s a monster!  It’s a Wyvern!”

“Shit .  Isn’t it too strong for our first battle?”

“No .  Look over there .  There is a person on top of it . ”

They were talking to each other as if they were on a picnic .  Woojin smirked when he saw this .

Grow up fast and well .

The person, who appeared on the Wyvern, was none other than Che-haesol .  She had come here when Woojin called for her .

“I’m sorry I’m late . ”

“It’s fine .  You’ll do well in teaching the new recruits .  Try to find out their tendencies . ”

“Yes, sir . ”

“We are returning to earth in 12 days .  These guys will now be directly under your command . ”

“A unit under me!”

“This is why you learned the Telepathy skill .  Now you can use it properly . ”

Haesol felt her heart beat faster .

She had learned the Telepathy skill, so she would someday directly command a unit .

“How much do I have to train them?”

“Well, it is up to you .  Just make sure they are adequately useful . ”

“…adequate . ”

She spoke softly as she repeated his words .  Woojin patted Haesol’s shoulder .

“I’ll see you later . ”

“Yes, sir!”

Woojin summoned his Phantom Steed Shing Shing .  He got on, and he disappeared in the opposite direction from where Haesol had arrived .  She was trying very hard not to smile as she looked at the 23 new recruits that had been abandoned on a foreign planet .

‘They are my new recruits . ’

How long had it been?

This was different from looking at the new recruits during her military days .

These were her subordinates under her direct command!  It felt as if she had been given the opportunity to lead a special forces unit .

“Get into a column with 4 lines . ”

“……?”

Haesol grinned when she saw their puzzled face .

“Do as you are told . ”

The group was still slow to move .  Kim-joonyong, who was in the front of the line, asked her a question .

“Excuse me .  Are you director Che-haesol?”

These were Roused, who had interviewed, because they wanted to join Alandal .  There were only few Roused in Alandal, so Che-haesol was already famous .  Of course, he recognized her .

“I am . ”

“Heh heh .  I look forward to working with you . ”

“…… . ”

Haesol stared at the hand extended by Kim-joonyong .

Shoook, puh-uhk!

Haesol’s fist moved past Kim-joonhyong’s outstretched hand, and it buried itself deeply in his stomach .

“If you aren’t given a order, don’t move . ”

“……!”

“Ggoo-ooh-oohk . ”

Kim-joonyong was writhing on the floor as he moaned .  The new Roused recruits were frozen in place .  

Did everyone in Alandal not know about human rights?

“Eeek .  Why did you suddenly do that?  I want to be trained by the president . ”

It looked as if Che-haesol was posturing unnecessarily to make herself look strong .  Kahng-woojin had unhesitatingly given him Items, so he thought Kahng-woojin was thousand times better than her .

Instead of answering, Haesol’s foot answered his hostile attitude .

Puh-uhk .

“Kuh-oohk!”

Joonyong was sent flying 3 meters .  He rolled across the floor as he let out a moan .

“You can’t even crawl, yet you are trying to fly?”

He wanted to be trained by Kahng-woojin?

He was asking for his own death .  The only person here that would most definitely kill a person for being slow was the King of Alandal, Kahng-woojin .

He didn’t differentiate between the living and the dead .

“You can’t crawl yet .  However, I’ll make is so that you can walk . ”

“…… . ”

She had received an order from the king .

She was told to make them into adequate Roused . …… .

“I am tasked to making you guys into Rank B Roused in 12 days .  This is the start to your hellish training . ”

“……?”

Most of them were Rank E .  There were only several Rank D Roused sprinkled in the group, yet she was suddenly aiming for Rank B?  If one reached that Rank, most guilds promoted one to director .

“We’ll start the training . ”

Kee-ahhhhk!

Che-haesol somehow looked very cheerful .  As if to answer her cheerful voice, the Wyvern let out a long answering cry .

***

Lava was boiling across this large stretch of land .

It would have been better if this lava had been emitted by a volcano .

He couldn’t avoid it .  Dodging was useless .

From within the lava, the Flame Dragon Hydra was continuously letting out flame from its mouth .  There was a person flying across this hot stretch of land, and he was nimbly dodging the Flame Breath .

There was 1 living being and 1 dead being watching from afar .

“Sunggoo is pretty decent now . ”

[Goo-ha-ha .  The **** got quickly used to being wrapped in flames . ]

Sunggoo’s ability to adapt to Flame type magic was peerless .

No magician would get burnt from the flame that was made by oneself .  One was able to safely control one’s flame through magical energy .

However, there were those few that could assimilate other’s magical energy .  This type of person could then absorb the enemy’s attack .

Sunggoo had just entered into a level where he was able to do this .

“He always talked about wanting to be a magician .  He got his wish . ”

Sungoo was desperately dodging from location to location .  If one saw his face right now, it made one question if he was truly happy from achieving this goal .  However, Woojin had helped him achieve the goal he always talked about .

“We have 11 days left .  I want you to teach him well until then . ”

[Goo-ha-ha .  I’ll make it so that he’ll be fine even if he was roasted by the fires of **** . ]

Woojin nodded his head in satisfaction .

Jaenis was always reliable .

***

The Colony took 4 days to clear .

The Colony city was occupied by a very striking ogre with a red beard .   Do-jaemin and his party members continued to use guerrilla tactics, and they were able to lure out the Dimensional lord and kill it .

It was easy to clear a Colony without its Dimensional lord .  The Dimensional lord could no longer refill his forces using the Dimensional store .  They were slow and steady in their attack .  The number of enemies were decreasing incrementally, and their eradication was only a matter of time .

Moreover, the forces defending the Colony weren’t all elite troops .

“Kneel before me .  This is the difference between you and I… . ”

“Jaemin .  Stop playing around .  We have to go quickly . ”

“Yes, hyung-nim . ”

Do-jaemin’s movements were more relaxed than before, and his battles were more even keeled .

It looked as if he had lost some of the majesty of being a Noble of the Night, but this only proved to enhance his presence more .

“Whew .  Alandal is all full of monsters . ”

“Haha .  Jungdoh hyung-nim should join Alandal . ”

“I have so many families depending on me .  How can I do such a thing?”

“Heh heh . We’ll move after I drink from this one . ”

Baek-jungdoh couldn’t help, but laugh .  Alandal was really filled with monsters .  Even now Hong-sunggoo was the main reason behind the wildfire spreading across this planet, and Do-jaemin had easily leaped frogged Baek-jungdoh in terms of power .

Then there was the powerful Holy Magic of the Holy Maiden .  She could bring anyone back to life if the person had a single breath left . Blanka’s improvement in his abilities were slow, but he was quickly meshing well with the party .

Do-jaemin drank the blood from the troll he defeated .  He was able to receive a portion of its ability, and his Stats would increase a little bit .  His regeneration ability would slightly improve too .

“You are eating well now . ”

Woojin appeared on his Phantom Steed .  He dismounted .

“Uh, hyung .  You are here?  Is it time to do a Dimensional Battle?”

“Yes .  We have a little time left .  I want you to finish what you are eating . ”

“Yes, hyung . ”

Do-jaemin started to drink from the troll’s neck again .  It seemed he had fully accepted that he was a vampire .  It seemed his sense of identity as a human had lessened . He looked pretty natural when he drank the blood .

However, Baek-jungdoh wasn’t still used to it .  He look on with a bit of uneasiness on his face .

“We have two days left . ”

“Whew .  Time really flies . ”

In terms of earth time, one week had passed .  In terms of how much time passed here, it had been almost a month .  They would be returning to earth in 2 days .    Baek-jungdoh also had gained a lot during that time .  It was a little bit of a let down, only because the people around him were growing at the pace of monsters .

“Will hyung go to Alphen on the 1st trip?”

“Hoo hoo .  I’m thankful for the offer, but I can’t .  I have to form an official expedition group that’ll be sent from the KH guild .

Alphen was a completely different situation from Jaku .  Over half of the Dimensional lords in Alphen occupied one of the 72 great thrones .

Woojin had made a clean sweep of the Yellow Lizard Coalition on earth, so there had been a power vacuum in Jaku . The difficulty of the situation on Alphen was on a whole different level .

“Well, I’ll see you in 2 days . ”

“With pleasure . ”

Woojin opened a portal, and he took Do-jaemin, who was used to traveling now, back to his Dimensional Domain .
