Chapter 30

Chapter 30: Free-for-all (2)

Muyoung made a trap in the location where most of the people ran towards .

He waited quietly at a location where he believed Fire Dragon Woo would pass by .

Fully armed .

‘Lunatic Sovereign’s set . ’

The effect of increasing all stats by 15 and stamina by 10 and becoming a Lunatic Warrior when close to death . It was better than most A rank items combined .

Information about the ‘Lunatic Warrior’ was given below .

Lunatic Warrior – Become enraged by the continuous consumption of stamina . Three random stats will increase by 15 .

By collecting the full set, there was no consumption of stamina . It meant that he was able to ceaselessly become an ‘Enraged Lunatic Warrior’ when he received a certain amount of damage .

It might have been a perfect fit for Muyoung’s style .

From the beginning, didn’t Muyoung continue to fight dangerously?

If he just pushed himself further to just activate the Lunatic Warrior, he would be able to grow stronger at a faster rate .

Anyhow, Muyoung wore the Lunatic Sovereign’s set before he made his surprise attack on Woo .

Honestly, he thought there was a fifty-fifty chance .

Woo was a second generation, born in the Underworld . Since he was young, he had grown up with monsters, unlike the first generation who were summoned into the Underworld .

It was obvious that Woo was significantly more developed than Muyoung’s current state when they looked at the overall factors .

But, he still considered it a fifty-fifty chance because he was certain that Woo wouldn’t suspect of an ambush attack .

But… the Protection of Fire Dragon .

‘They are really supporting him . ’

Muyoung clicked his tongue knowing how much of a blessing it was to have that item .

Descendants really were descendants .

The past Muyoung also dealt with the Fire Dragon Clan .

The one who assassinated ‘Fire Dragon In’, the clan leader, was Muyoung .

Even then, it was difficult because the Protection of Fire Dragon had been activated . I thought I heard somewhere that it took about a year to make an item with the Protection of the Fire Dragon .

A blessing that could protect your life once couldn’t have been easily obtained .

He could tell how much the Fire Dragon Clan was supporting Woo by the amount of resources they have given him, even for a trial to kill beginners .

“Talk . Who sent you? The Blue Dragon Clan? Maestro Guild?”

Woo asked with a stiff face .

The tips of Muyoung’s lips were slightly raised .

Of course, it would be hard for Woo to accept that a newbie would be able to injure him since he would also know that the beginners have only lived in a temple for just a month .

“So you’re not going to respond? Fine, you bastard, I won’t let you die so easily . ”

Woo rotated his spear .

It changed into a different form of a spear as it started blazing with fire .

“Did you think you could do anything with your mere B ranked equipment? Most of my skills and equipment are A ranked…”

Clash!

Muyoung made the first move .

Muyoung tilted Anguish and smacked the head of the spear .

Woo’s body shuddered after sensibly blocking Muyoung’s attack .

He never thought that Muyoung would attack him before he finished what he had to say .

“You talk too much . ”

Muyoung put an end to the conversation .

The prideful Woo was obviously pissed by Muyoung interfering with what he had to say .

“Die!”

Even if his skills and equipment were good, all of Woo’s movements were within Muyoung’s assumptions . It couldn’t be helped as Woo was too young .

If only he was a bit older and could be more rational… After thinking to that point, Muyoung secretly laughed .

Muyoung remembered that Woo still had an inferiority complex even when he took over the Fire Dragon clan when Fire Dragon In died .

Blaaaze!

Countless numbers of blazing spears dropped all around .

Muyoung avoided them all, but still his whole body was covered in soot .

‘Rain of Fire Dragon . It had better range that I thought . ’

Even if Muyoung knew most of Woo’s skills because of the overall difference in stats and skill rank, he didn’t think it would be easy .

If he didn’t wear the Lunatic Sovereign’s set, it would have been difficult .

Woo mocked Muyoung after casting a few more Rain of Fire Dragon on him .

“You little squirt!”

Muyoung shrugged as he took out two talismans .

‘The Skeleton of Fire and Ice and the Prince and his subjects . ’

Crack . Craack .

Screeeech!

In an instant, the undead appeared and surrounded Woo .

“Necromancer? Foolish! Do you think undead could survive my blaze-!”

As if it was ridiculous, Woo laughed and attacked with his blazing spear .

But, it was completely blocked by the shield produced by the Skeleton of Fire and Ice .

Basically, the element of fire was offset by the element of water . The Skeleton of Fire and Ice had both characteristics of fire and ice elements and wasn’t bad against Woo’s element .

“Die . ”

Creeeeaak!

The Dark Ghoul and 30 other ghouls joined up and followed right away .

Showing both these undead meant that Muyoung was certainly going to kill him .

“These half-dead corpses!!”

Woo’s face became completely red .

He wasn’t used to a situation like this where things didn’t go his way .

The shield created by the Skeleton weakened Woo’s blazing spear and the Dark Ghoul and his reinforced ghouls persistently harassed Woo .

Meanwhile, Muyoung moved soundlessly .

Free-for-all was the type of fight assassins enjoyed the most . In a fight where people couldn’t tell who was who, they liked approach them like a shadow to slit their throats .

Slowly . Piercing through their weakness .

Muyoung was clearly right in front of him, but was outside his sight .

Even if Woo had lots of great equipment and skills, he was still young and had little experience . He wouldn’t have had time to learn how to face a real assassin .

Stab!

“Gahh!”

He barely avoided a critical injury . However, he was able to precisely deepen the wound he made earlier .

‘As expected, he really does have sharp senses . ’

Woo had outstanding senses in evading death . If Muyoung was in his prime, this wouldn’t have happened, but still, it was amazing .

As the same situation continuously occurred, he couldn’t contain his anger and raised his spear high .

“I will kill you all! The Cry of the Fire Dragon!”

Ziiiiiiiiiiing!

The sky turned red . Blazing clouds were created and warmed the ground with hellfire .

The Cry of the Fire Dragon was a unique skill only the Fire Dragon Clan had .

However, that skill was a double-edged sword . It had monstrous destructive power, but didn’t allow for the user to be safe .

‘Cover me . ’

Right away, Muyoung ordered his undead .

The ghouls hurriedly ran toward Muyoung and covered his body .

Thump! Blaaaze!

Hellfire continued to drop flames onto the ground . The Skeleton of Fire and Ice used its shield, but it was useless . The ghouls were all burnt and Muyoung wasn’t completely safe .

79, agility 59 -> 74, and magic resist 40 -> 55 . >

Muyoung pushed the burnt up ghouls and came out after the duration of the Cry of the Fire Dragon had ended .

With his wrecked body, Woo looked at Muyoung .

As if he was tired of this .

Including the Dark Ghoul, 6 Ghouls were still fine .

It was sad, but the Skeleton of Fire and Ice broke apart .

Tsk! Muyoung clicked his tongue and grabbed hold of Anguish .

Was it because the Lunatic Warrior was active?

The world seemed to be stained red and he was filled with the will to fight .

He didn’t feel pain even though he had an unavoidable injury .

Want to fight .

Want to kill!

“You bastard…”

Thump!

Muyoung moved .

Swoosh!

Clash!

Muyoung was like a typhoon .

“Eeeek…!”

Woo got scared after seeing how Muyoung didn’t die, even after pouring out everything he had .

It was like the fight had already ended at that moment .

*

Woo was unconscious .

His whole body was mangled .

It was amazing how he didn’t die yet; it was as he planned .

Muyoung was barely able to not kill Woo .

He had to force himself to withstand the strong murderous intent he had while in the Lunatic Warrior state .

Muyoung’s endurance wasn’t that weak to give in to such desires .

‘Creating with a living corpse . ’

A living corpse . Muyoung was planning to make Woo into an undead when he was still half alive .

It was never done before, but he believed it was worth a try .

If he could turn Woo into an undead when he was still half alive, it would be very useful for Muyoung .

‘The Box of Trials could be tricked . ’

Muyoung had a complete understanding of the weakness of the Box of Trials .

Unlike the normal trials, the Box of Trials allowed people to set up their own trials and rewards . Of course, they lacked in detail .

If Woo who was a living corpse killed the other four Judges, the reward would go to Woo and not Muyoung . Muyoung could then hide his identity and still get the reward . It was like killing two birds with one stone .

Woo was currently still on the boundaries of death .

Could he possibly make an undead with Woo in this state?

After removing Woo’s Status Viewer from his wrist, Muyoung quickly scanned his history .

‘Nothing much is here . ’

Simply, Woo walked a path that someone else laid out for him and mistakenly believed that he had built up his own path .

Like father, like son .

He had a complete inferiority complex, only overestimating himself, and didn’t realize the reality . This crooked personality was similar to Fire Dragon In .

Therefore, there wasn’t much he could learn from his history .

Inevitably, Muyoung activated his ‘Art of Death’ skill .

Soon a dark aura touched Woo’s body .

Level: 78

Type: Dark Warrior

Strength 87 (77 + 10) Agility 85 (75 + 10) Stamina 88 (78 + 10)

Intelligence 71 (61 + 10) Wisdom 76 (66 + 10) Fire Power 80 (70 + 10) >

+ Incredible Equipped State (All stats will increase by 10) .

+ High tolerance to fire .

+ High tolerance to light .

+ Following skills are available: Rain of Fire, Cry of Fire, and Spear of Fire .

+ Able to detect danger .

+ Half alive, doesn’t rot .

Muyoung was quite surprised by the stats of the newly created undead .

He knew that the basic stats were going to be better than his .

Muyoung would have lost if he couldn’t read Woo’s movements or know about his skills .

But, he was completed without much of a loss compared to when he was alive .

Normally, it was rare for the skills or stats to be transferred over when a Necromancer made an undead . It was only possible with materials like the Death Knight to make something similar .

The Death Knight .

A top ranking undead .

It was an entity that had attained death and was simply a powerful knight without a match .

However, there was a limit in finding materials like the Death Knight .

Maybe they had to be at least a leader of a large guild or clan?

If you could make one, you could be fearless against an army of over ten thousand…

Of course, Woo’s material fell short by a lot compared to that .

It seemed like it was a result of a high art score and an increased rank in the Art of Death skill .

‘Exploitation of the Soul?’

What was more, a new skill was created .

A name he had not heard of before .

Just when Muyoung was feeling strange .

Swoosh .

Woo’s injuries were rapidly recovering and his body was slowly raised .

A bright light appeared above on top .
