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 .
