Chapter 17 (2/2)

“『Blizzard Storm』.”

Park Chun-woo used 『Blizzard Storm』 in order to stabilize the temperature of the dungeon. Because he used 『Blizzard Storm』, the dungeon stopped melting and was able to restore itself back rapidly.

“Let’s leave right away after the entrance is completely restored. It will probably take around 3 minutes or so. Before that though …..”

Park Chun-woo looked at the Death Knights.

“You guys go and retrieve the items.”

I shall.

“And about the boss monster, I think I need you guys to take of the boss monster for me.”

We will not

The leader is right. We will not.

We will not take of the boss monster unless we are compensated.

The Death Knights firmly declined Park Chun-woo’s order. They resolutely requested for some kind of a compensation.

“Compensation? The armor, the helmet, the sword, and s.h.i.+eld you guys are wearing do you know whose it is?”

In return we are retrieving the items for thee. We also take care of the monsters around your house. However, this is different. The boss monster is even difficult for us. We will only work if we are compensated.

“I haven’t used any undead magic lately. Should I use it right now?”

Your threat is useless. We will not work if we are not compensated.

“Dang it.”

Park Chun-woo clicked his tongue.

‘These b.a.s.t.a.r.ds are so hard to control.’

Park Chun-woo had acquired the Death Knights during his third reincarnation.

Although they did not directly impacted the fight between the apostles, they did help him indirectly.

The reason why dungeons don’t form and why monsters from open-dungeons are not seen near his house is also because of the Death Knights. But he had compensate them.

Although it was master-servant relations.h.i.+p, they did not work unless they were compensated.

Death knights only agreed to do all those jobs because of the equipments they were wearing right now. But if there was a job that required a bit of effort, they would make Park Chun-woo compensate them in some ways.

‘The boss room definitely wasn’t affected by the explosion due to its surround barrier. But, if I were to do another flame show we wouldn’t be able to qualify for the ……’

The best way to get rid of the slimes was definitely to burn them with fire. Because, setting them on fire would burn the core as well as its body.

The problem was that the infinite split slime in the boss room did not burn by any simple means of fire, and if someone were to carelessly hit it, infinite-split slime monsters would infinitely divide, causing mayhem.

It was definitely a troublesome and annoying enemy to face.

It was possible to get rid of the boss by using a more powerful magic than 『Chain Explosion』 and burn it, but the wall would burn due to the extremely high temperature.

That could not happen.

What Park Chun-woo wanted lied near the wall of the boss room. If the wall were to burn, it would impossible to retrieve it in mere 10 minutes.

‘Is there no other way?’

They won’t work without any payment.

Although it irritated him, he had no choice. Park Chun-woo finally nodded his head.

“What do you guys want?”

For now, we want horse.

One is enough. The leader, at the least, needed to ride a horse. Without it, he does not look cool like a true leader. Leader must always look cool.

“You guys care about such useless things. Okay.After this I will make you guys a phantom steed. And?”

Our equipments need some repairing.

I wish our armors would emit a s.h.i.+ny black luminescence. I know that you have already maxed out your equipment repairing skills.

Especially, leader’s equipment should s.h.i.+ne as twice as much as our equipment.

s.h.i.+ny, overpowering black light is essential to a death knight. We do not look cool right now.

The Death Knights had exactly two requests.

Phantom steed and equipment repair.

It wasn’t anything he couldn’t agree to, but it was certainly annoying and tiresome.

It was pretty funny how Death Knights focused so much on their appearance, but when he saw their worn-out and beat-up equipment he could somewhat understand.

In his 5th reincarnation, he took advantages of the Death Knights very frequently in order to get rid of all the small, troublesome ch.o.r.es. He did not repair their equipment, not even once, during that time.

After hearing out their requests, Park Chun-woo’s conscience did not feel well.

“I will listen to both of your requests after this. Go and hunt down the boss monster after the entrance is fully restored. You know that you can’t apply any physical damage until you see the core, right?”

You don’t have to worry. What kind of power would a mere skeleton have. We don’t even have the strength to lift spoon and chopsticks.

We cannot even stand during the day

Get a hold of yourself. How would we stand if we don’t even have a body.

He is right. We don’t have one.

Owner. Is it okay if we awaken?

Park Chun-woo’s face stiffened. It was so chaotic when all 10 Death Knights spoke at once.

“Only you can awaken. The rest of you try to focus on creating an opening to break the core for Jerald.”

Aight.

Even if only the leader were to awaken it is enough.

Death Knights were full of confidence.

Park Chun-woo did not have any worry. He knew they would do a good job by themselves.

When looked at logically, it was definitely better for the Death Knights to handle the boss monster than himself.

The Death Knights scattered quickly and retrieved the items with a very elegant and swift movement. Their movement was so amazing that it felt like it a waste for them to spend time on picking up the dropped items.

During that time, the entrance restored itself.

PR Note: Sorry for the delay, guys. Sleepless was busy with school, and I was busy with work.
