Seoul Station’s Necromancer Chapter 40:


Chapter 40 – 5 Star Dungeon(3)

 

Sunggoo had watched what had happened from atop a roof of a building .

“Freaking awesome . ”

Woojin had deployed the Wall of Bones to pen in the Naga, and he ran straight into the middle of the opposition . Accompanying a shock-wave, a virulent poison cloud started to spread to the surrounding .

Then the indiscriminate killing started .

The poison had no effect on Woojin . Woojin had moved through the Naga as he took their lives . When the last Naga struggling from pain died, the Wall of Bones came down .

The green poisonous cloud, which had filled the Wall of Bones, coalesced into a single location .   Wooojin was in the middle of the coalescing poison, and the poison was being sucked into him .
All of the poisonous gas absorbed back into Woojin as it disappeared .

“I…insane . ”

He was insanely strong .  Were Rank A Roused supposed to be this strong?  What did Woojin used to do?  Why did he hide his strong powers to act as a Rank F Roused?
Sunggoo felt like Woojin was a person from another world .  Somehow, Sunggoo was able to form a bond with such a person . He felt a mixture of surprise, and fear .

“Hey Sunggoo . ”

“Yes, hyung-nim . ”

Sunggoo quickly closed the distance, and Woojin was walked out of the gruesome battlefield .

“Collect all the loot . ”

“Yes, hyung-nim . ”

Woojin had already used his Marking Magic to point out which items had potential value .

“Uh? There aren’t any bloodstones, hyung-nim?”

Normally Woojin marked the monsters with bloodstones inside their body, but he hadn’t marked any of the Naga .

“The Anthropomorphic Race doesn’t possess bloodstones . ”

“What?”

“Just hurry up and pick up the items that are marked . ”

“Yes, hyung-nim . ”

Sunggoo started picking up spears, armors and other items that were marked . He would have to go through almost 100 Naga corpses .

Sunggoo’s ‘Acceleration’ Skill was first used on a stage where he had to collect the loot .

During all of this, Woojin headed towards the Naga’s temple .

The building had a basic circular design, and an altar was placed in the middle . As if they were protecting the altar, there was a statue of a Naga Warrior on the right, and a Naga Sorcerer on the left .  They stood there in an imposing manner .

The Return Stone was floating in the middle of the altar .

Woojin walked to the altar, and he obtained the Return Stone . Then a box suddenly appeared below where the Return Stone used to be .  When he opened it, he saw a single ring .

“I guess there is only one since this is a basic Dungeon . ”

When he cleared it for the first time, he had earned 3 rings . However, this was a recursive Dungeon, so it seemed it only gives 1 ring now .

Woojin took the ring, then he pried the red gem embedded on the pommel of the sword carried by the Naga Warrior statue . Then he took out the blue gem embedded in the forehead of the Naga Sorcerer statue .

Woojin used the Analyze magic on the 3 items .

<Ring of Healing>
The ring received by the Naga Princess as a wedding gift .
When Equipped Heal +10

<Naga Warrior’s Keepsake>
You can earn the same strength as the Naga Warriors .
Strength +3

<Seal of a Naga Sorcerer>
Seal of a Naga Sorcerer .
Magic +3

“Not bad . ”

One was an Artifact that adjusted one’s Stat . The other two were consumable items .

Even if this was a basic summons Dungeon, the loots here was quite good . Of course, it wasn’t as good as the first rewards .
He had earned 3 Artifacts, and 7 consumable items .
Even though the reward lessened, he could still make a tidy profit .

“Now that I think about it I should have more main skills available for the Warrior Class . ”

New skills were released every 10 levels for all classes . When Woojin reached level 30, he learned the main skills of a Necromancer . He could now use Golem Summon and Poison Nova . This was also true for the Warrior class .

Woojin opened the Point Store, then he purchased all the level 30 Warrior Skills he found .

<Earth Strike>
Strike the earth with a large hammer to attack the enemies .
Energy consumed : 3

<Whirlwind>
Strike the surrounding enemy as you rotate your weapon .
Energy consumed : 1 per Cycle

<Blunt Weapon>
As one trains in the using blunt weapons, one will become more proficient in using it .

He also purchased several other skills, but the most important two skills were Earth Strike, and Whirlwind . They were the Warrior Class’ first AOE attack .
Woojin immediately summoned his Warrior’s Weapon .

Paht .

He read the Steel Staff’s information .

<Steel Staff>

The Warrior’s Weapons is basically akin to one’s friend and life . The Warrior’s Weapon grows with the user . It will always be with you, and it is always be ready for your call .

Effect : Strength +15, Durability Recovery(During Canceled State)
Skill : Summon, Cancel, Change (Spear, Hammer)

The evolved Steel Staff added an additional +5 strength, and it was able to also change into a hammer .
Woojin immediately changed the staff into a hammer .

“Ooht-cha . ”

The head of the staff enlarged into the size of a human’s head, and it changed into a large Hammer . Even with his increased strength, the weapon was quite heavy . Woojin staggered when he first used it .

Hooong, hoong .

He swung the hammer, but the center of mass was towards the end of the weapon . It wasn’t an easy weapon to handle . He swung it couple times, and he got the feel of it .
The passive skill, ‘Blunt Weapon’, was of big help here .

“Being a Warrior is quite useful . ”

If he want to use it in an actual battle, he would have to practice using it over and over to increase the Skill Level .  Still, it seemed quite useful even though he had just learned it right now .

Woojin canceled his Warrior’s Weapon, then he put the loots into his inventory .  Then he stepped back outside .

“Uh?”

Sunggoo should be in the midst of picking up the items, but he wasn’t there . Woojin started searching for him, and he found Sunggoo lying down between the Naga .

“Are you sleeping on the job?”

Woojin grinned as he approached Sunggoo, but Sunggoo didn’t say anything . Woojin felt something was wrong, so he ran forward . Woojin saw the sight of Sunggoo on the floor, and his lips had turned blue .

His eyes were flipped over, and he was shaking . It seemed Sunggoo’s life was about to be extinguished .

“Poisoned?”

Woojin quickly pulled a Naga’s soul, then he put the energy into Sunggoo .

“Ooh ooh ooh . Hy…hyung-nim . ”

Sunggoo regained some of his energy . He looked at Woojin with blurry vision, and he was barely able to open his mouth .

“What happened . ?”

“Ooh ooh . I cut my hand while I was moving a spear . ”

The Naga’s spear was dipped in poison . Woojin looked at Sunggoo with an expression of disbelief .

“Jeez . ”

Woojin stood up, then he gathered more Naga Spirits, and he poured more energy into Sunggoo . His complexion improved, and he recovered some of his stamina . However, his Poisoned Status did not disappear .

“Hy…hyung-nim . What should I do?”

“What do you think? You’ll just have to die . ”

“H…hyung-nim!”

Sunggoo flopped down on to the floor . Ah, so he was going to die like this? His life would come to an end in such a stupid manner?

Woojin clicked his tongue as he looked at Sunggoo, who had fallen in despair .

‘Will the Detox Magic work on him?’

If he wanted to use a proper detoxification or healing spell, he would have to be of the Priest Class or else it would be impossible .  Woojin purchased a Detox Magic one could learn before level 10 .  He had to spend 30 points .

“Come here . ”

Pah-paht!

The light started formed in Woojin’s hand and it passed through Sunggoo . However, his Poisoned Status wasn’t dispelled .

“Chet . It’s not working . ”

Since it was a low level Detox magic, it could only deal with weak poisons . Weak poisons along the level of causing discomfort to one’s stomach .

Woojin opened his Point Store then he purchased an Antidote . The Antidote suddenly showed up in mid-air in front of Woojin . He handed the Antidote to Sunggoo .

“Try drinking this . If this doesn’t work, then I really don’t have any other methods . ”

“Hoo-ook, hook . Yes . ”

Sunggoo prayed as he opened the bottle’s top, then he took a sip .

“Ooh ooh . ”

“Well? How was it?”

“Oooh . I’m not sure . It tastes like uncarbonated cola . ”

“Ah . I’m not talking about the taste . Are you being detoxed?”

“Ooh, I’m not sure . ”

Woojin let out a sigh . He took back the Antidote to inspect its information .

<Antidote>
It can cure the Poison Status .
It cannot be given to others .

“I guess it won’t work on you . ”
“H…hyung-nim . ”

Woojin bitterly shook his head as he looked at the crying Sunggoo . He had become quite attached to Sunggoo, so it was a shame to send him off like this .

If he died like this, he’ll probably haunt him once again… .
Woojin faced was turning dark .

He could buy the Detox Magic from the Point Store, but he wasn’t of the Magician or Priest class . He had no way of using it .

Still, he had grown attached to Sunggoo, so Woojin couldn’t just send him off without doing anything .

“If you have a will then tell me . I’ll pass it on . ”
“Aigo . Hyung-neeeem! Please save me . Ooh-uh-uhng . ”

Sunggoo cried as he approached Woojin, and he grabbed on to  Woojin’s pants leg .

“Uh uh? Hey . I’m not a **** . How am I suppose to save you?”

While Woojin was backing away, the content inside the Antidote Bottle sloshed, and it spilled into the surrounding .

Chee-jee-jee-jeek . .

The Antidote fell on a Naga’s Spear nearby, and it let out a sound as it smoked .

“Uh?”

Woojin’s eyes opened wide when he saw this .
Maybe, if he used it like that?

“Ooh-uh-uhg, Hyungneeem . If you save my life, I will never turn on you . Ooh-uh-uh . ”

Sunggoo had always regretted becoming mad at Woojin in his drunken state . Crazy . He had been crazy . He had lashed out against hyung-nim .
Woojin pushed Sunggoo, who was tenaciously sticking to Woojin .

“Hey . Get off me for a sec . ”

“Aigo . Hyung-nim . ”

Sunggoo wrapped himself around Woojin’s legs as if Woojin was his last lifeline . The only one he could believe in now was Woojin .

“Uh uh? I might be able to save you, so get off me . ”

“Is that true? If you can save me, I’ll do whatever you want . ”

“Then get off me first . ”

“No . I won’t . I will never let go until you save me . ”

“Huh . Jeez . ”

Woojin looked at Sunggoo, who was tenaciously clinging on to him . Woojin clicked his tongue .

“Then open your mouth . ”

“What?”

Sunggoo raised his head in surprise . Woojin spoke as he met Sunggoo’s eyes . Sunggoo was told to do as Woojin instructed, then he would be saved .

Sunggoo was wrapped around both legs of Woojin, and his gaze fell on that place… . He said to open his mouth . Does that mean…

‘Ah . ’

Sunggoo groaned .
He had to either die as a man or live as a **** .

“Hook hook . Hyung-nim . You swung that way? Hoo-uhng . Why didn’t you tell me before?”

“Did you go mad from being at death’s door? Your face is already blue . Hurry up and open your mouth . ”

Sunggoo’s recovered stamina was quickly dwindling in his poisoned state . Sunggoo was becoming dizzy . While he cried, he grabbed Woojin’s belt .

“What…what the **** are you doing? Didn’t I tell you to open your mouth??”

“Hook hook . Don’t I need to take it out first? Hoo-uh-uhng . ”

Sunggoo cried as he tried to unbuckle Woojin’s belt .

“Ah, this mother **** is giving me a headache . ”

Woojin grabbed Sunggoo’s head, and he forcefully pulled it back .

“Ahhhhhk!”

As his head was pulled backwards, Sunggoo cried out in pain . Woojin poured the antidote into Sunggoo’s mouth .

“Ahhhk-gahhhk-gooroooook . ”

Accompanying a scream, and a gargling noise, the antidote disappeared into Sunggoo’s gullet .

“Ggoo-rook . Kuk, kuk . ”

It seemed the liquid went into his airway, so Sunggoo coughed as he cried .

“Hook hook . Does hyung-nim like the rough stuff?”

“Why don’t you just shut your mouth unless you want to be beaten?”

“Hoo-ook . ”

“You’ve been detoxed . . ”

“Hoo-ook, yes? What?”

Sunggoo was started touching his face in surprise . He didn’t have any fever, and his sight had returned to normal . The pain in his head was gone, and he was now sure he had escaped his poisoned state .

Woojin smiled when he saw this .

‘Now I know how to use the consumable items . ’

The items bought from the Point Stores will lose its magical property at the same time as it was given away . When Sunggoo drank the antidote by himself, it had turned into regular water .
It seemed only Woojin could use it .
If he couldn’t transfer it to someone, then he would just have to use it himself . He just had to feed it to the other person .

Sunggoo was filled with joy from the fact that he would live, and a strong question popped up in his mind . This was the most important question in Sunggoo’s life now .

“Then I don’t have to do it?”

“What?”

Did this **** go mad from the poisoning?
This guy was uttering nonsense for some time now .

“Hyung-nim wasn’t a homosexual?”

“…… . ”

<Warrior’s Rage have been activated . >
<Your Stat has been increased . Duration time 30, 29… . >

Woojin summoned his Bone Spear .
Why did he save this kid? He couldn’t reign in his anger .

“I guess you need a little bit of a beating . ”

“Hook hook . I knew it . You lean towards the S&M…”

Tears flowed down Sunggoo’s face as he modestly pushed his **** toward Woojin .

<Your deep anger has leveled up the ‘Warrior’s Rage’!>
<The countdown will start from the increased time . Duration time 45, 44… . >

“Hooooo . ”

The frowning Woojin’s forehead furrowed deeper .
