Seoul Station’s Necromancer Chapter 62:
Chapter 62 – Shout from Pyongyang (2)
The pointless waiting was filling Woojin with anger .
‘Who is this pig?’
This was Woojin’s first impression after seeing Kim-jongun, who was the successor of Kim-jongil . The young dictator had a weird hair style, and he pushed his hand out towards Woojin, who was younger than him .
“Nice to meet you, comrade . I’ve heard a lot about you . ”
“Yeah . Nice to meet you . ” (TLN: Lost in translation . He is talking as an equal . Informal . )
When Woojin shook hands face to face with Kim-jungun, the North Korean officials, who showed up with him, frowned in anger .
“Comrade . He is the chairman . Be careful with your words . . ”
At his words, Woojin raised his hand to cover his mouth .
“Nice to meet you, Jungun-ah . ”
“…… . ”
Kim-jungun, who was directly involved, froze . The North Korean officials, who came with him, and Kim-haesol, who came with Woojin, also froze .
‘Ah, it was a mistake . This was a mistake . ’
Che-haesol was regretting everything . Woojin hadn’t cared about the recording cameras when he slapped Hwarang’s guild master’s cheeks . She hadn’t prepared for such a situation .
She was in the wrong in thinking he would show some manners towards North Korea’s supreme commander .
No, she wasn’t in the wrong .
She had assumed such matters would be dealt with common sense . A normal person would have been careful all on one’s own . Che-haesol’s only fault was forgetting Woojin was a human, who would go past the boundaries set by a normal person .
The faces of the officials from the North Korean Army was filled with anger .
“You son of a **** . Where do think this is? How dare you play with us??”
Instead of being cowed by tbeir agitation, Woojin grinned .
He said to cover it, so Woojin covered his mouth . (TLN:This is something that was lost in translation . The word in question has two meanings . First definition is to pick and choose carefully . The second definition is to cover/hide something . )
So why was he angry?
Woojin taunted the official with an amused expression on his face . Kim-jungun, who was looking on, laughed .
“Ha-hat . As expected, he is very heroic . Please sit . ”
When Woojin sat in his seat, he spoke in a blunt manner .
“Let’s just talk about business . I want to go into the Dungeon right now . . ”
The North Korean officials bristled in their seat at Woojin’s terse words . If they were able to, they would have immediately slapped Woojin’s face . The reporters from the foreign press continued to press the shutter to their cameras .
“Haha . You are very straightforward . As expected, you sound like South Korea’s best veteran warrior . Huh-hut . ”
Kim-jungun laughed heroically at Woojin’s rudeness .
In the first place, Woojin didn’t have much to negotiate .
A day after he clears the Dungeon, he’ll be able to raid the Dungeon for 15 days . He had all the rights to the items found in the Dungeon during this time .
He just wanted a definite answer agreeing to those terms .
“If you end this properly, then I’ will keep my promise . ”
“Then I don’t want to wait any more . I’ll go right now . ”
“Haha . Let us take one picture before you go . ”
Woojin and Kim-jungun stood in front of the reporters, and they took pictures . At Kim-jungun’s orders, the reporters from North Korea took numerous pictures .
“Comrade . I’ll wish for your safe return . ”
Was he worried about Woojin? Or maybe he wanted Woojin to come back alive, which would mean he had been able to prevent the Dungeon Break .
“Now I’ve heard everything . ”
The meeting ended before 30 minutes could pass . The time it took to take the picture actually lasted half of the meeting . The actual meeting ended way too fast .
Che-haesol had been ill at ease more than anyone else in the room . She was sitting with sweat coming down her ghastly face .
“Really . I thought I would die from my heart being squeezed . This place is Pyongyang . Mr . Woojin should be a little bit more careful with your words . . ”
Woojin grinned at Haesol’s request, and he patted her on the shoulder .
“Didn’t you just see me being careful?”
“What?”
“Then I’ll be heading out first . I’ll see you in a couple days . ”
“I’ll pray for your safe return . ”
Woojin waved his hand as he strode towards the Dungeon .
There were no portal .
The North Korean Roused, who attempted the Dungeon, chose death over using a portal to escape . He didn’t know if someone made them do that or it was on their own volition, but it meant that there weren’t any information on this Dungeon .
“Hooo . Really… . ”
Haesol shook her head . At the very least, his confidence was the best in the world . He was outspoken even in North Korea where there was an unreasonable authoritarian regime .
After Woojin entered the Dungeon, the barrier formed in front of the entrance to the Gwangmyung Station . He had 8 days until the Dungeon Break . If he didn’t come back out then it would be impossible to mount another attempt .
North Korea had tried to gather the Roused of the world in the beginning, but no team accepted North Korea’s offer .
Kim-jungun watched Woojin enter the station from a different location from Che-haesol . He had a satisfied smile on his face .
“Wasn’t he quite straightforward?”
“Yes . ”
“It would be great if one Roused like him would show up from within my people . ”
“It is quite unfortunate . I had heard all heroes were lustful, so we readied a lot of beautiful women . It seems we won’t be able to use them against him . ”
“It’s ok . ”
At Kim-junun’s word, the official carefully asked a question .
“Does chairman think that man will be able to succeed?”
“He’ll succeed . He can do this . ”
Kim-jungun’s eyes watched Woojin disappear into the Dungeon . His eyes and voice indicated he was sure Woojin would succeed .
‘Break a leg . ’
Kim-jungun gave a cautious support for Woojin, and his face held a hint of envy . How great would it be if an extraordinary hero like him existed among his people??
*
“Ah, this is so annoying . ”
He had to enter the Dungeon from the start instead of using the Portal . He’ll have to defeat the monsters in the outer Dungeon first . It was problematic since North Korea’s Subway Station was very deep underground .
The escalators wasn’t working . He had to descend using the stairs, and the monsters kept rushing up towards him . It delayed his progress .
After he defeated all the monsters, he added more souls to his leveled up Spirit Armor . After he subjugated the souls, he passed through the portal that formed near the entrance .
Jeeeeeeeng .
The space distorted . The scene that spread in front of his eyes made Woojin feel a sense of danger .
The trees and the land was dead . The ruins were covered with viscous moss-like substances .
“Isn’t this a colony?”
This was a first .
These weren’t beings from Alphen . It seems Trahnent’s main force had shown up .
“Kae-rook . Kae-rook . ”
Accompanying a bizarre sound, a fat praying mantis looking monster showed itself from atop the mountain ridge . It was about 1 meter tall, and it was around 1 . 5 meter in length . Its front appendages were as sharp as swords . They were menacing weapons .
The most problematic part was several dozen of them always traveled in a group .
They were the most commonly seen, and the most troublesome low rank monsters under Trahnet .
Baejik .
“It’s been awhile since I fought a large group . ”
Woojin summoned golem Dolsae and succubus Bibi .
“Hoo-ah . I’ve finally escaped-nyahng!”
He had barely convinced the disappointed Sooah, and he was able to bring Bibi along with him to work . Bibi covered her nose when she smelled the battlefield .
“Ooh-ook . Whose colony is this?”
“I don’t know yet . ”
Trahnet’s 72 Commanders .
He didn’t know who this colony belong to . No, it didn’t matter who it was .
He’ll get rid of everyone who steps on to earth .
“Go Dolsae . ”
“Weeeeng . ”
Dolsae absorbed the dirt in his surrounding . He made a body with the dead dirt, and a horrible stench came off of him .
Even seeing Dolsae’s large body, the Baejiks bravely ran forward .
The battle with Trahnet’s fearless troops started .
*
He put Dolsae in the front . After he defeated all the Baejiks, he used the corpses as medium to summon the Skeleton Soldiers . He summoned 50 of them at once . There were only that many Baejik corpses .
The sticky moss-like substance covered the forests, roads, plains, mountain and the abandoned city . It was spread everywhere . Since this was a dead land, there were countless number of monsters in existence at this location .
Trahnet’s favorite tactic was attacking with overwhelming numbers .
More Baejiks were rushing over when they heard the sounds of battle . Woojin grinned as he heard their horrible shrieks .
“We aren’t pushovers either . ”
Level : 50
Name : Kahng-Woojin
Class : Necromancer(Advanced), Warrior
Rank : Middle Rank
Achievement : 273219
Magic : 201/250 Energy : 34/60
<Stat>
Strength : 45 Agility : 39 Stamina : 51 Wisdom : 32
Magic : 251 Energy : 60 Recovery : 42 Heal : 40
Control : 250
Unassigned Point : 0
Reinforcement Stone Re-Absorption Delay Time
Strength : 12 Agility : 31 Stamina : 7 Wisdom : 480
Magic : 27 Energy : 6 Recovery : 11 Heal : 5
Control : 3
He had invested most of his bonus points into Control and Magic . He was increasing his Stat with the Reinforcement Stones, but as he continued to absorb the Reinforcement Stones, the delay time kept increasing .
Every Stat had different absorption time . In the case of a Stat like Wisdom, he was reaching a limit . He had taken a Reinforcement Stone couple days ago yet it wasn’t fully absorbed yet .
Currently, Woojin could control 250 of his summoned beings .
If he blended the Skeleton Soldiers and the Skeleton Magicians, he could put forth a large troop .
If he wanted to maximize the power of the Skeleton Soldiers then he needed commanders . This would require the presence of Death Knights . Still, Woojin was quite good at commanding the Skeleton Soldiers himself .
Diversity wasn’t a strong point in Woojin’s troops .
“Keh-kehk . ”
The Baejiks ran towards him, while letting out horrible shrieks . Monsters that seemed to be a hybrid between a spider and ant lifting its head was seen behind the Baejiks .
“It’s a Launcher . ”
These **** spat thorns that was akin to tentacles . It had a long range, and its power puts a bullet to shame . They were quite troublesome to deal with .
“There are also Rantoes . ”
There were only one in sight right now . It was as big as an elephant, and it was surrounded by an enormous carapace . It had a high resistance to magic, and the carapace had outstanding defensive power . The Skeleton Soldier’s swords, and the magic of the Skeleton Magicians wouldn’t work against this opponent .
Either a Death Knight’s Dark Blade or Lich’s magic could threaten this monster . Woojin couldn’t summon these familiars, so he would have to used the powerful attacks of the Warrior Class .
“Dolase make a path for me . ”
Goo goo goo .
Dolsae caused vibrations as he charged towards the center of the enemies .
The Skeleton Soldiers stood in lines as they readied to charge . In the back, the bones of the Skeleton Magicians appeared, and they raised their hands to create and maintain thier magic . They readied themselves to fire .
Soo soo sook .
Woojin summoned his Phantom Steed . He got on then he changed his Warrior’s Weapon in to its Axe form .
These were the Warrior Class skills that had be unsealed after he reached level 50 .
When his weapon changed into an axe, he could use ‘Smash’ and ‘Whirl’ . The destructive power was increased by a notch .
“Let’s go, kids!”
“Kee kee keek . ”
Woojin spurred his Phantom Steed to gain some good momentum, and Dolsae caught up to him from behind . He summoned Bone Spears, and he threw them towards various locations . When the time was right, he erected Bone Walls to restrict the movements of his enemy’s forces .
Hooong, kwahjeek!
“Gguehhhhk!”
As blood flew everywhere, Woojin charge between the monsters, and he cut down the Baejiks with his deadly axe . Every time he split an enemy open a new Skeleton Soldier was summoned .
The number of Skeletons following Woojin kept increasing, but the number of Trahnet’s monster gathering in this location was much larger .
Woojin burst into laughter when he saw the enemies swarm towards him .
“I guess my level will increase by a fair amount . ”
Trahnet would invade earth sooner or later . He just had to get stronger quickly to oppose Trahnet .
He watched his Achievement Points increase continuously, and Woojin’s axe danced .
*
*In the middle of the colony . *
Woojin watched the bizarre creatures that wriggled together to form a shape .
“I’m curious which **** is here-nyahng . ”
“They are all the same to me . ”
“Hmmm . It seems earth will start to see Trahnet’s subordinates-nyahng . ”
“It’s about that time . ”
Woojin headed towards the center of the colony as he looked around with an indifferent gaze . If this had been allowed to be completed then one of Trahnet’s commander would have shown up .
Even now the Baejiks and Launchers were continuously being born from the hideous hatcheries .
“Let’s end this and go out . ”
It took him 12 days to wipe out the entire colony . Three days should have passed outside . It was about time for him to go out .
“Nyahong . I wanted to go sight seeing in North Korea . Too bad-ahong . ”
Woojin grinned, and he marched forward the corpses of Baejiks and aLunchers he had readied near the colony .
The level of Resurrection was still low, so the corpses had only 50% of their original abilities . However, he hadn’t raised them, because of their ability to fight .
The corpses latched themselves on to the headquarter and the hatcheries . When this was done, he let out all his magic at once .
Kwah-kwah-kwah-kwahng!
The Corpse Explosion caused a storm of blood . Woojin covered his face to block the aftermath of the Corpse Explosion .
<Level Up!>
“Hooo . This brought me up two level . ”
During the 12 days of hunting, he had leveled up twice . He still had the 15 days he would be able to use this Dungeon, so it would be possible for him to reach level 60 .
A crater formed from the effect of the explosions, and the Return Stone was floating in the middle . However, besides the green Return Stone, there was another purple gem that looked similar to a Return Stone .
“There are two Return Stones?”
Woojin took the two gems .
<You have acquired the Return Stone . >
<You have acquired a Dimensional Fragment . >
“Uh?”
Woojin was confused, so he used his Identification magic to find out the gem’s sealed information .
