Chapter 226

In the center of the island, where there is a huge mountain range.

There was a large temple in front of it.

And the heavily fortified fortress that surrounds it.

“Why do you have to be here?”

There was a boy who didn’t fit the fortress.

A member of Jormungand. Because there was no name known to the public, people called him a demon beast.

“Just wipe it away…”

“Arthur. It’s just useless power.”

Someone answered the boy’s murmur.

A man with an unusually shaped spear walked in from behind. The boy clicked his tongue in displeasure.

“It’s better than wasting time. You’re not afraid of these guys, are you?”

“Are you scared? I?”

“……huh.”

The man laughed scornfully. He had an attitude of arrogance, but if it were that man, he would do that.

The boy pouted his mouth.

“Wait for the ritual to finish. That’ll be quicker than wiping them out here.”

“When will the ceremony end?”

“It will be over soon. They will release the seal on their own, but there is no need to kill them all.”

The man shrugged his shoulders and walked forward. He looks as if he is leaving the fortress.

The boy frowned.

“Where are you going?”

“I’m going to get ready for a meeting. Sooner or later, I’ve called all my collaborators and decided to meet them.”

“Collaborate? Heh, hyenas.”

The man didn’t really deny it.

“Even hyenas are helpful if you group them together. If you throw in a chunk of meat, it’s good enough to open your stomach.”

“Did the other apostles also come?”

“Well, I don’t know if the time will come because everyone has work to do, but they’ll come by themselves.”

The man left without looking back.

“You’re alone here.”

That was all he had left.

The boy spit out a small cursing as if he didn’t like the attitude. But he wasn’t bad.

“From now on, I can do whatever I want.”

The boy chuckled.

* * *

It seems that the spirit of the author, Gorgo, resides in Gorgo’s Tome.

The soul wants only one thing.

– I want to raise my successor.

That was it.

Park Si-jun frowned.

‘Isn’t there a scene like this in the novel?’

Although the main character trained, no successor or anything like that came out.

Anyway, the black magic book said that he wanted to raise a successor, and Park Si-jun was qualified to become the heir.

– He’s unique. It’s similar to Sagi, but it has a different energy… What is this?

While examining Park Si-joon’s body, the Black Magic Book could not help but marvel at times and at times astonished.

And he started giving quests to Si-Jun Park.

– What you need to do is simple. Taking as many lives as possible, and collecting the corpses.

“I really like that…”

As it turned out, the contents of the quest were also harsh.

The good news is that it is said to be life.

If the goal had been set in such a way as to kill people, there would have been no way to break the quest.

‘If it’s black, I’ll do it, what.’

Fortunately, there was still quite a bit of time left before attacking the temple.

There must be enough time to break the quest.

[Quest: Gorgo’s First Teaching]

Take the lives of living things and collect their corpses until the Grimoire is satisfied.

There was no such thing as compensation.

This island is a place where monsters come out just a short walk away. Breaking the quest wasn’t too difficult.

– Kia ah!

“One, two… How many of these?”

Park Si-jun fought monsters in a wide open space.

He uses heroes and soldiers to lure monsters and then strikes them all at once.

This was to shorten the clearing time.

– About three hundred. This is not enough.

The black magic book floating around said.

The body of the book still had black energy and black luck attached to it.

Is it because of the feeling? It seems to have grown in size.

‘He’s accepting the curse that should come on me instead… … ‘

Currently, Heukwoon is under the curse.

But will this continue? Considering the case of Magi, I thought it was not.

Heukwoon refused to eat more if he ate more than a certain amount of magic. maybe this too… … .

‘If I procrastinate, the curse will return to me.’

With that in mind, you have to finish your work quickly.

Park Si-joon raised the speed even more. Yellowy and the heroes helped him with all their might.

– Whoa.

– Can’t we just get rid of the guy who doesn’t want to look like that?

The black magic book complained about the hard working Yellowy.

– That’s enough.

How many corpses did you collect?

When the corpses of monsters piled up like a mountain, I couldn’t smell the blood.

The black magic book finally opened its mouth.

– take me in your hand

“You? Am I crazy?”

-Then I won’t be able to make you my successor.

The boy was quietly threatening.

Park Si-jun covered his forehead. Since the effect of Black Cloud is still being applied, nothing will happen.

It’s just uncomfortable to touch.

“Yeah, you should do what you want.”

Park Si-jun held it in his right hand.

“What shall we do now?”

-You are not dealing with the power of this book properly.

“I’ve never used it properly or anything.”

– I will test you from now on. To see if you deserve to be my successor.

🤩🤩 The book in his right hand unfolded at will.

As soon as I grabbed the black magic book, I could feel the amount of magic in my body increasing dramatically.

“What can I do now?”

– Summon the undead. all these corpses.

Park Si-joon frowned.

The number of corpses could not be more than 1,000. There seemed to be around 1,200.

It is a number far beyond its limits.

‘I don’t think so… … ‘

For now, the situation where the black magic book is installed.

Park Si-jun recalled the option of the Black Magic Book.

[Gorgo’s Grimoire (A+)]

A black magic book written by Gorgo, a warlock who left his name in history.

-If equipped with a strong curse effect, the health will continuously decrease, and cannot be removed until death.

-All stats +40

-Magic Resistance +50%

-Magic +70%, Magical recovery speed +150%, Magical consumption -30%

-Necromancy, Black Magic Enhancement – Wide area resurrection can be used

– Summoned undead is greatly strengthened

– Summonable Undead Number +66

– Able to create special undead

The item had options related to magic.

It was originally related to fraud, but that has changed.

‘I’m going to turn all my honor to Maggi here.’

Park Si-jun took a small breath.

A black energy began to flow from him.

Maggie. Those auras scattered in all directions, and permeated the bodies of the dead monsters one by one.

Whoa!

Corpses are happening.

No, the undead is happening.

“Ugh.”

When the number of undead raised exceeded 600, a hoarse voice came out of Park Si-joon’s mouth.

A huge amount of magi is escaping from his body.

‘Still bearable.’

Park Si-jun continued to summon the undead.

When the number of summoned undead exceeded 900, the magical energy in the body was depleted.

– There’s still more.

From then on, it was a time of patience.

While maintaining the previously summoned undead, they waited for the magic to regenerate.

So, one by one, it gradually increased.

“Okay.”

The speed at which Magi played was slow.

There were so many undead that had already been summoned, so even if the playback speed increased, it was not noticeable.

‘What do I gain by doing this?’

So it took a long time to summon a new undead.

Every time that happened, all sorts of thoughts popped into my head.

‘It is the qualification of the successor.’

The tome said he would test his qualifications to become a successor.

‘It was said that Gorgo’s Grimoire was written by Gorgo himself.’

Was he writing to create his own successor from the beginning? it may be like that

Park Si-joon let out a long breath.

-Are you just going to wait so foolishly and ignorantly?

At that moment, the black magic book said.

“I’m crazy right now, so I’ll talk to you…”

– This is going to take a lifetime. ignorant guy.

The warlock kicked his tongue openly. The scoffing voice scratched Park Si-joon’s nerves.

“Then what?”

– Instead of waiting for the morale to regenerate, find a way to replenish it.

“That way…”

The moment you want to ask, what is the way?

The contents of the novel popped up in Park Si-jun’s mind.

‘There was a moment when the main character lacked morale. What did you do then?’

He quickly traced his memory.

‘vitality.’

There was one thing that came to mind.

‘By converting one’s life force into morale… … ‘

Later, he used the life force of others to convert it to morale.

In this way, the lack of morale was supplemented.

-If you are a necromancer, there should be no blood or tears.

The black magic book chuckled.

The moment Park Si-jun thought of a method, new knowledge flowed in from the book.

[Skill: Life Transformation has been learned.][Life Conversion: Absorbs your own life force or other people’s life force and transforms it into magic.]

It was an ominous explanation.

If it were an ordinary skill, it would kill a life just using it, a skill comparable to suicide.

But it wasn’t for Park Si-jun.

“Life Transition.”

He used the skill without hesitation.

I felt the vitality of my body being sucked into something. Park Si-jun took a deep breath.

‘It’s not a very pleasant experience.’

Suddenly, I felt sick and dizzy.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

His body trembled as if he had been ill. It was because the life force was sucked.

The life force that was sucked out like that became a fraud.

– Whoa, whoa… … !

Morale soon became the raw material for creating the undead.

Dozens of undead started to rise every few tens of minutes.

Park Si-jun continued to transform his life force.

‘If you keep doing this, you will die. However… … ‘

He had a way to replenish his life force.

self-healing. He replenishes the vitality he lacks in divine power.

-Yeah, I guess I just realized something.

He said in a voice that seemed satisfied with the black magic book.

Park Si-joon repeated a series of tasks as if possessed without hearing his voice.

– Now it’s done. Look around.

percussion! The book closed with a loud noise.

At that sound, Sijun Park also came to his senses. As the book says, he looked around.

“This……”

Numerous undead were standing on the plains.

That number alone is one thousand two hundred, no more.

It was a number that an ordinary Park Si-jun could not handle.

“I think the number of corpses has increased?”

– I increased it one by one while you were concentrating…

wow!

Park Si-jun pretended to hand over the black magic book to Ishimi and the cat.

– You bastard! I personally showed you the way!

“That’s why I didn’t pass it on.”

Park Si-jun looked at the number of the undead and put his tongue around it.

Can you summon a number like this? This gives you a lot of things you can do.

And the Heavenly Demon Goddess.

‘Is there a way to overcome the consumption of ignorant Magi?’

Park Si-joon smiled satisfactorily.

– Why are you laughing so hard? My exams are not over yet. You are not enough now.

“I see. What should I do now?”

-Utilizing these, new undead… … .

After that, the quest of the Black Magic Book continued.

Park Si-joon continued to carry out those quests, and suddenly became curious and asked.

“I have a question, did you say you were looking for a successor?”

-okay. my heir.

“Why are you looking for it?”

Then the talkative black magic book shut its mouth.

The guy was silent for a while. When Park Si-joon’s patience reached the limit, the book opened his mouth.

-Because I have something to ask of my successor.

“what is that?”

The book answered right away.

– To set me free.

It was an unexpected answer.
