Seoul Station’s Necromancer Chapter 195:
Chapter 195 – Moon World (2)
“Let’s rest for a little bit . ”
“Yes, hyung . ”
“What is our winning streak?”
“That was our 75th win in a row . ”
Jaemin didn’t look too tired, so Woojin looked at him in surprise .
“Aren’t you tired?”
“Heh heh . We’ve been playing this game for only a day . ”
“Yes, a game… . ”
Woojin let out a bitter laugh at Jaemin’s words .
“So shall we continue?”
“Yes . I’ll rest when I get tired . ”
“You do that . . ”
Woojin’s only work was to fight the Dimensional lords, who requested Duels, because they lost the Dimensional Battle .
Only a very few warlike Dimensional lords requested Duels as revenge . Most didn’t even bother avenging their losses in the Dimensional Battle .
When he saw Jaemin immerse himself into the Dimensional Battle once again, Woojin stood up from his seat .
He had been sitting on his Throne, and he had been buying Ingredient Items as soon as the Points started to come in . However, he had yet to complete a single Item .
After the earth finished its Synchronization, there was no time difference between earth and his Dimensional Domain . A day passed on earth if he spent a day inside his Dimensional Domain .
“Shall I go back for a visit?”
The Dimensional space between the planets was called the Dimensional Domain .
He was able to message between all the vassals of his Domain from this location . It didn’t matter if it was Melody on Alphen or Bibi on Earth . However, none of them were contacting him, so it seemed nothing significant was occurring .
If a Duel request came in, Kiba could do it in his stead . .
Once Kiba loses, Woojin could come back to avenge him .
Woojin stood in front of the Gate that would take him to Alphen’s Saurus Colony .
Zeeeng .
After he passed through the Portal, he saw that nothing had changed at the Saurus Colony . He was a bit let down by the lack of progress .
“What the hell? You are still in there?”
The small flame was still burning, and Woojin shook his head as he looked at it .
Sunggoo was being too greedy . He was still in combustion .
“If you can hear me, you should come out . It is enough . ”
Hwah-roo-roohk .
Woojin couldn’t tell if Sunggoo could hear him or not, since he was unable to speak .
While everyone was making a big fuss about the Immortal’s appearance, Melody pushed through the crowd .
“Immortal . ”
She seemed very glad to see him, so Woojin felt his mood improve .
Melody had been thrown away by the goddess she had served for her entire life, and she had lost her power . This did make him worry a little bit about her .
“Anything unusual?”
“Yes . Somehow the number of Dimensional lords living in Alphen’s Dungeons had noticeably decreased in number . ”
Several dozen Dungeons had been cleared .
The Resets were occurring from time to time, but most of the Dungeons were being purchased by low rank Dimensional lords . These were beings, who could barely buy a single Dungeon by investing all their resources .
Opponents of such caliber could be cleared by the heroes of the Coalition .
“It is understandable . From the **** who could fly to the ones that could crawl, all are appearing on earth to make a mess . ”
The overall ability of the Roused, and the modern weapons made earth a superior fighting power compared to Alphen .
It looked as if earth was still holding up quite well . However, in the end, it would turn into a battle of attrition, and the Dimensional lords would win .
If one thought about the 200 year long war on Alphen, the Dimensional lords knew how to conduct a battle of attrition .
They had all the time they needed .
The only ones desperate was the people of earth, who had to defend their planet . Even the ones, who traveled from earth to Alphen, was feeling the same desperation .
“My king!”
Woojin smirked at the strong greeting he got from Blanka and the Phantom Unit .
“How’s Haesol?”
“She is awake . ”
At the Phantom Unit’s sub-commander Joonyong’s words, Woojin started looking around for her .
“Where is she?”
“…she left after leaving behind this letter . ”
“Huh?”
Joonyong gave the letter to Woojin .
The letter was short . However, it got the point across .
-I’m useless right now . I’d rather die than become a burden . I’ll return after I become strong .
Woojin looked away from the letter, and he laughed .
“Isn’t this a suicide letter?”
“I…I don’t think so . ”
“What a pointless… . ”
Woojin didn’t want Haesol, because she was strong in battle . She was very knowledgeable about tactics and strategies . Moreover, her telepathic ability allowed her to run the Roused Unit in an efficient manner .
If she wanted to increase her battle capability, she should have increased the ability of the Phantom Unit… .
“Do you guys have anything to do these days?”
“What? I guess… . It’s been… . ”
“Then let’s head back . ”
“What?”
Blanka, who had been silent as he listened, asked the question .
“What about us saving Alphen? We have to help them . We are allies now . ”
“Earth is in bigger danger right now . ”
“I want you guys to pack up . We are heading back . ”
“Team leader Haesol isn’t back yet . … . ”
“Well, she’ll come back when she is ready . ”
Woojin glanced at the flame .
“You shouldn’t be late to the party either . Hurry up and come back to earth . ”
Hwah-roo-roohk .
Woojin was about to head immediately into the Gate when Melody hesitatingly stood in front of him .
“What’s wrong?”
“I have request for the Immortal-nim . ”
“What is it?”
“A Blessing… . Could you give me a Blessing?”
“Huh?”
Woojin’s eyes turned round at the unexpected words .
“What the **** are you talking about?”
Melody bit her lower lips .
She might be barking up the wrong tree .
However, the loss of her power had created an emptiness within her . The pain was almost unbearable .
“I would like you to place the Thrash’s Blessing on me… . ”
“Hmmm . ”
Woojin stroked his chin as he looked at her .
What did she think he was? How could he give her Thrash’s Blessing?
“I’m not a priest . ”
He was speaking the truth .
However, he advanced the cause of the god… .
He was closest to his **** . At the very least, it looked like that to her eyes . This was why she was all the more desperate .
If Melody chose to worship a different god, would this other **** accept her? She had been abandoned by Aria before .
No **** would gladly accept her .
However, it might be possible if it was the Immortal .
“You can keep looking at me like a constipated dog, but I don’t know how to do it . ”
“You just have to grant me your Blessing . ”
What kind of Blessing was she talking about?
Woojin shook his head from side to side as he looked at her .
She was asking for it, so he’ll attempt it .
“I take no responsibility if this doesn’t work . ”
“I won’t resent you . ”
Woojin stood in front of her .
“Kneel . ”
Melody gently got on her knees, and she lowered her head . He raised his hand, and he gripped her head .
‘Is this how I’m supposed to do it?’
He was doubtful, since he never thought about Thrash through the lens of religion . He had just seen himself as someone, who received an inheritance… .
This was the first time trying his hand out on missionary work .
Of course, he didn’t know how to do it . He didn’t have any convention he could follow .
“I name you as the priestess of Thrash . ”
When Woojin’s words ended, no change had occurred .
“Well, I guess it didn’t work?”
He unnecessarily felt bashful about this, so he scratched his head . .
“Don’t be too discouraged . ”
“I…I’m not . ”
At that moment, the Phantom Unit gathered near the Gate .
“We are ready, my king . ”
“All right . Let’s go . ”
Melody bowed towards Woojin .
“Please be careful in getting back here . ”
“Well, all right . ”
The Gate was going nowhere, so what problem could occur going back and forth from this place?
“I want you to take care of everything while I’m gone . ”
“Yes . ”
Melody was the administrator of the Saurus Colony . She had yet to waste any Points . She actually used the existing soldiers of the Colony and the forces of the Coalition to gather Blood Stones . She had increased his Point total instead of using it .
The great lords of Trahnet had several dozen to several hundred Colonies . If they were all bringing in a surplus of Points, he could understand why the great lords was able to pour out monsters like it was nothing .
“I’ll be back . ”
She kept her head down until he passed through the gate . She didn’t have Aria’s power of premonition anymore .
So why did it feel like she would never be able to see Kahng-woojin again?
“Please be victorious . ”
She wished he would end the Dimensional war that had only brought them invasion and plunder… .
***
“Hoo-ah . How long has it been since we’ve been on earth?”
“It’s the Wyverns!”
The Phantom Unit set foot on the flying fortress . Some were so moved by this experience that they kissed the floor .
The Phantom Unit were all trained as Wyvern Riders, so they were very familiar with the Wyvern’s nest placed at the corner of deck .
“You are back?”
Jung-minchan always came running out to greet him in haste, and Woojin always asked the same question .
“Anything unusual?”
“There was something . ”
“What is it? Did Kim-kahngchul run away again?”
“No . ”
Unlike his worries, Kim-kahngchul had behaved very well . He was still imprisoned inside the reception room .
“So what is it? Where’s Bibi?”
He wondered if the Undead Army was struggling out there . However, his worries was off the mark .
“They have pretty much wrapped up the battlefield, and they are returning right now . ”
“Then what is it?”
“We caught a spy . ”
“Jeez . I thought something big had happened . ”
Woojin reacted as if this was a matter of no importance . Jung-minchan put on a serious expression, and he started looking around before he spoke in a whisper .
“This is related to Lee-sahngho . From my research, there hadn’t been any volunteers to head towards Alphen . However, the Daken Guild suddenly stepped forward, because they struck a backroom deal with Lee-sahngho . . ”
“Lee-sahngho? Who is that?”
Jung-minchan calmly told him the information .
“He is the former Hwarang guild master, who was killed by your hands . ”
“Is that so? Maybe he earned a Dimensional Fragment from somewhere . ”
Woojin didn’t show any surprise at this information, so Jung-minchan swallowed his musings .
Of course, this was a world where monsters were running amok . Should revival from death be that big of a deal in such context?
“We haven’t figured that out yet . However, the problem is the fact that Lee-sahngho is acting as spokesperson for a newly arrived Dimensional lord named Iello . ”
Woojin tilted his head at Minchan’s words .
“He became a vassal . ”
Lee-sahngho’s revival now made sense .
A vassal’s revival only needed consumption of Points . If Woojin didn’t like the actions of Lee-sahngho, he just had to kill the Dimensional lord Iello .
However, was it worth going through with it?
“Please look at this . ”
Jung-minchan handed him a tablet . The screen held a footage of Seoul filmed from a distance .
“I guess they haven’t dismantled that thing yet . ”
He had taken care of all the monsters, so he had thought the Korean government would take down the Thorn Tree . This was why he left it alone .
However, the Thorn Tree was frozen . On top of that, the Hahn river was also frozen .
On top of a frozen branch of the Thorn Tree, a doll made out of ice was talking as it opened both its arms .
“That’s Iello?”
“Correct . ”
“He looks a bit familiar… . ”
“Please watch the next footage . ”
Woojin played the next footage, and it was a closer shot . Lee-sahngho’s voice could be heard .
「Iello-nim wants to help the people of earth . He wants to protect the people of earth from the monsters from different Dimensions . This is akin to a **** descending amongst… . . 」
After watching the footage of Lee-sahngho’s speech, Woojin turned his gaze towards Minchan .
“What is he talking about?”
“…it is as he said . The real problem is… . . ”
“What is it?”
“Several countries are already in progress of making a defense alliance . ”
“With him?”
“Yes… . ”
“Huh . They are giving a fish to a cat for safekeeping . ”
Lee-sahngho had been the one to cause the irregular Dungeon Breaks . Woojin had always wondered how he had pulled it off, but it seemed a Dimensional lord named Iello had been behind Lee-sahngho .
“Where is he? Where’s the spy?”
“We put him in isolation . ”
“Let’s go . ”
Woojin walked in front as he headed towards a room being used as a cell .
“Where are we now?”
“We are above Taiwan . ”
In a flash, they were in front of the room where the spy was imprisoned .
“Open the door . ”
Cheeeek .
When the closed steel door opened, a man with a worried expression caught sight of Kahng-woojin . His face quickly darkened .
“I…I have nothing to say . You won’t be able to make me talk… . ”
Unlike his words, the man was shaking violently . Kahn-woojin swung an open palm .
Bbah-ahk!
The man couldn’t tell if an open palm or a fist had impacted on his face . His lips broke open, and he was sent flying towards the corner of the room . Woojin grabbed the fallen man by his head . He held the man in front of him, so he could look into the man’s eyes .
“Name?”
“Ooh ooh . It’s Lee-soongho . ”
“Good boy . ”
Woojin relaxed the pressure he was putting on the man’s head .
Lee-sahngho fell to the floor, and his teeth started to chatter .
“Hey Minchan . Give me your handphone . ”
“Yes? Yes, sir . ”
He took the handphone, and he pushed it towards the spy . The man’s eyes shook from fear . Woojin laughed as he looked at him .
“Call your president . ”
“What?”
“I heard you smashed your handphone . Call him with this one . ”
When Lee-soongho’s cover was blown, he immediately destroyed the handphone to get rid of the evidence .
“Hurry up . Call him . ”
“Yes . ”
Even such casual words carried an incredible amount of pressure . It was as if he was meeting a never before seen psychopath in this world . Woojin looked as if he was capable of killing a person as he laughed . Lee-soongho felt death creeping towards him… . .
It was like facing a **** of legend, who harvested death . .
Dee-ree-ree .
The phone rang couple times before Woojin heard a familiar voice .
「Hello . 」
“It’s me . ”
「Who’s me?」
“It’s Woojin . ”
「Woojin? Mmm… . My memory is… . 」
「Kahng-woojin? You son of a bitch! Why are you calling me as if you are my friend? You crazy mofo! Why the **** are you talking to me in a familiar manner！」
Lee-sahngho’s disconcerted feelings could be felt through the receiver . A smile formed on Woojin’s lips .
“I’ll be there soon for you . Be prepared to die . ”
He dared to target Sooah? He was looking for the **** of earth?
With a cold expression on his face, Woojin put down the phone still transmitting Lee-sahngho’s swear-filled rant .
