Vol 9 Chapter 9 (2/2)

Ark starting losing his spirit and stared at Tamura devastated

‘Wait, perhaps there ht be a way to stop the recovery!’

“Please come to your senses Even if you’re dead, your lives are still valuable to this world Don’t let your existences be eaten by an evil demon Oppose the devil with your willpower and protect yourselves!”

Ark used the power of Nursing

Pepeng-!

“Kuaaak……!”

There was a white flash of light fro another deceased Then instead of recovering his health, he received considerable dae and stumbled

‘It is like I expected! I can use Nursing to stop his healing! No, I ht even be able to defeat him!’

Ta the deceased This was due to the side effect of Ark’s Nursing The additional effect of Nursing that Ark had forgotten about……was the blessing Blessings had a holy attribute If he ate the dead who had a holy attribute, he would receive dae instead They weren’t injured, so the deceased couldn’t receive the Nursing effect However, Tamura had to chew on them in order to absorb lifeAt that moment, the dead beca While avoiding Tamura’s attacks, he concentrated on the movements of the deceased And the moment Tamura tried to s a deceased, Ark would stop the recovery using Nursing and Ta using Nursing three or four tiht appeared around Ark’s body instead

The Miracle Nursing was successful

‘This is truly a miracle!’

Due to the effects of Miracle Nursing, the blessing effect was applied to all the deceased In other words, Tamura’s food has been poisoned Thanks to that, Tah the recovery was stalled, the situation didn’t beco his extra attacks and Ark had no more mana, so there was no way for him to attack

“Ohhhh, this guy……how dare you interfere with my meal……!”

Tamura became furious at the interruption to his meal Hundreds of black hands made of the vicious liquid forht by those hands Then the deceased had all the health drained and they turned into ashes

-Tamura has used ‘Hand of Death!’

<when caught=”” by=”” the=”” hands=”” of=”” death,=”” they=”” will=”” lose=”” 10=”” health=”” every=”” 1=”” second=””>

“Huk, what the? Slide! Deimos, Dedric! Avoid it!”

Ark shouted as he slid all over the place trying to avoid the hands Fortunately Deimos and Dedric instinctively sensed the crisis and either dropped to the ground or flew in the sky to avoid the black hands Thanks to that, only the deceased were turned to black powder At that ined happened The place Lariette was standing was out of reach of the black hands But when a black hand reached towards a certain deceased standing near her, she shrieked and plunged forward

“N-no!”

“La-Lariette-nim?”

Ark lifted his head in surprise Instead of the deceased, Lariette was being held by Taan to drain out And her health reached the bottom in a blink of an eye……!

Suddenly there was a blinding glare of light Ark frowned and stared at the strange sight The dead person who had been saved by Lariette was suddenly surrounded by a beaed froht He shot towards Ta his sword thrust in front of him

Booom!

Tamura stuht appeared next to Ark holding Lariette

‘What the? What the hell is going on?’ Who is this guy?’

Ark couldn’t get a grasp on the situation Then, Lariette muttered with a pale face

“Holy Knight……!”

“Holy Knight? What about a Holy Knight? Are you talking about Alan?”

Ark asked with a stupid face However, the Knight just ignored Ark and spoke towards Lariette

-Lady, with a pure heart like a white jade……I pay my respects to your heartfelt sacrifice

The Knight bowed his head before continuing

-I aht Ronian After the person I was soul linked fell into darkness, I was corrupted and beca the Netherworld If it wasn’t for you, I would’ve been a deceased lost in the darkness forever

“I received a request from your squire So……”

– I know Johnny……poor boy It was because of Johnny’s request that you foundto sacrifice yourself to keep your proained my sense of self because of you I was desperate to overcome the darkness But I couldn’t win by myself……

Ronian clenched his pendant with a pained expression and closed his eyes for a hed

-But you’ve allowedwas lostMy spirit could return slightly thanks to thatAnd you protectedyourself……your beautiful heart was enough to coained my will, I’ll be able to return to heaven

Ronian released the pendant before holding it out to Lariette

-Beautiful acy? If you accept then you be known as Holy Knight but will receive the title ‘Innocence Knight’

You have received an invitation froht

If you accept Ronian’s offer then you will lose your previous profession and becoht is a woht series An Innocence Knight has the saht However, the attack and defense applied to weapons and aric will be applied

If you accept, your current profession ‘Magician’ will be automatically cancelled and all your skills and characteristics will be reset except for level and stats Instead, Ronian’s special abilities will be added 50 of your current skill points will be returned You can invest the returned skill points in any skill to raise it

Would you like to accept?

Lariette hesitated as she looked at the infor

“…………I’ll change my profession”

-It will be done!

Ronian scattered like a ed with Lariette’s body

“Ugh……this guy……how dare he……death……!”

At that time, Tamura was finally able to h her skills list before instantly casting Holy ic

“Pure shi+eld!”

A shi+eld ht formed in front of them Boom A violent impact shook the rooht could not co was Tae from the attack and wobbled

‘Yes, his weak point is Holy ic!’

He had no interest in ent on between Ronian and LarietteThe ie Tamura

“Lariette-niic to my sword?”

“Ha, I think I can”

Lariette looked through her skills list again And she used her points to raise ‘Pure Sword’ to inter towards Ark

The Holy attribute has been applied to Gwisal’s sword using Pure Sword

<dae +15,=”” it=”” will=”” invalidate=”” the=”” protective=”” dark=”” attribute=”” shi+eld=”” and=”” additional=”” dae=”” +15=””>

“Okay, De!”

Ark used De and struck Tamura

Pepepepeng!

There was a crack in the black slime and Tamura stumbled So far, no matter how much he stabbed, Tamura would not shed even one drop of blood or lose any health

‘It works!’

Ark’s eyes brightened Meanwhile, Lariette eagerly read through her skills and invested some points to make them intermediate

“Pure Soul, Warrior’s Strength!”

Pure shi+eld was able to reflect any attacks with the dark attribute! Pure Soul raised the defense against dark attribute attacks by 30! Warrior’s Strength increased health by 20! The Innocence Knight could also overlap buffs 3 tiht Lariette raised those skills to intermediate and continuously stacked them on Ark Thankfully, he could now overcome Tamura’s demonic attribute So after the battle continued for several minutes, the crack in the black sliht blinked from inside Eyes of the Cat had found Tamura’s underbelly Ark instinctively realized what the sy off the murderous intent was

“Blessing of the sea!”

Adelaine’s Necklace increased his defense and mana

‘Radun, Myutal’s Rapier!”

Ssak ssak ssak!

Ark grasped Myutal’s Rapier andsound as the sword cracked

“Take this, Blade Storm!”

Ka kwang!

He shoved Myutal’s Rapier into the black aura just before it exploded Then the black slime swelled up like a balloon After a while, the black slime fell off Tamura’s body When Tamura’s appearance was revealed, he looked like a skeleton with only bones left behind Ark immediately dreisal’s sword and attacked When Drastic Measures was used, the head was cut off and fell to the ground

-Your level has risen

-Your level has risen

-Your level has risen………

Message s continuously popped up He quickly rose 9 levels!It was thanks to the bonus experience applied from Drastic Measures

“This, unbelievable……darkness……the power of the Lord of Darkness……”

Tamura’s head muttered as he died

“The power to resurrect……when I obtain absolute power……I will destroy the world with the power of the great darkness……he, he………he said………it was a lie……”

‘He?’

Ark was puzzled by the words Then black beads eed from Tamura’s rab his sword bag……

Biiiiiik-!

A black eagle flen frorabbed the beads before soaring into the sky again It happened so quickly that there was no time to react

“What, what the? That eagle?”

While the eagle soared to the top of the Abyss of Despair, Ark was able to spot oneobscured by the h he couldn’t confirm any details of his shape, the red hair and white mask was unusually visible

‘It can’t be……the Red Man!’

The Red drasil’s video!

‘Then Ta to the Red Man before? If so……the Red Man was even behind this situation? Then that bead must be a clue!’

Ark was about to jump up with he suddenly stopped

‘damn, there are items still here……!’

There were iteround In addition, he still hadn’t checked the ite just to chase the Red Man And even if he ran now, there was no way to catch up The Red Mana claw and flying into the skyAnd he soon disappeared into the darkness Even Dedric wouldn’t be able to catch up with that speed! Ark and Lariette just stared with their mouths open How much time had passed? Suddenly Lariette raised her head and embraced Ark

“Kyaaa, on! We defeated Tamura!”

At the sahts about the Red Man fleards Andromeda

“La-Lariette-nim?”

When Ark spoke, Lariette blushed and moved her arms

“I-I’m sorry I was so excited……”

“Ah, no You can hold on……”

“Huh?”

“No”

Ark closed his mouth and shook his head There was an aard silence between the two of the

“I……I finished all inal world After I entered, the gate disappeared”

Ark see else and replied with a disappointed face

“I also haven’t found a way to return yet The gate I entered was one-way I’m sorry I can’t help”

“No, it’s not that……can I stay with Ark until you find the gate?”

“Yes?”

Ark stared at Lariette ide eyes Continuing with Lariette It hat he had been hoping for since the start of the ga after fighting this boss But the idea of sharing itehed heavily on his mind A crush was a crush, but didn’t reality also matter? It was necessary to make the part clear It would be a problem is he lost half of his income because of a crush

“I’d love to have you help me But before that, the items……”

“I just want to acco else”

Lariette had been accoame and didn’t know the pain of starvation So she didn’t really need iteive her any iteht so then she rong Although he would concede japtem to some extent, he wouldn’t even concede valuable items to JusticeMan

‘Yes, she’s changed her profession froician equipht items from the japtem”

Anyway, now there was no reason to refuse Lariette’s request

“I understand I accept”

“Thank you Then I’ll be organizing ed, I need to perform some maintenance”

Ark nodded and Lariette went up to where Bona aiting Ark felt soe because of her attitude but shook his head

‘She’s probably relieved not to be wandering the Netherworld alone’

But noasn’t the tihts

‘Tamura’s items!’

The rewards after so !

“Okay, Radun Look around and s the japtem”

Ssak ssak ssak!

Ark released Radun and approached Tamura

Necromancer’s Essence

The essence of a Necromancer who inhabited the Abyss of Despair

The infor the excellent intuition of an advanced Survival Cooking chef

This essence belongs to Tamura, a Necromancer of the Nakujuk clan who ruled the Abyss of Despair The culmination of his power resides in this crystal that contains athe immortality pill, you will be able to acquire soe

<:=”” a=””>

“Huk, an A rank essence……!”

Ark felt breathless as his jaw dropped This was the second time he found an essence in the Netherworld And this time it was an A rank essence! As an A rank essence, it should have a stronger effect than Sliinable

‘Is this the effect of Drastic Measures? Or do essences have a higher probability of dropping in the Netherworld?’

Well, it doesn’t matter why it appeared Ark made himself calm down and confirmed the next item

Death Engraved Stick (Unique)

The Necro the bones froic is imbued in this weapon

Ark’s eyes widened after he saw the ite item Most rare items had a skill attached as an option, but it was hardly ever a passive option The effect increased the abilities of the sueneral passive option of increasing all necromancer’s skills by 10 It was an iteet their hands on

Since it took a lot for necromancers to summon, they would offer a lot of money to buy this item Any user who raised their character over level 200 would have the kind of money to buy this item for an expensive price!

The Netherworld was an unexplored area where only 10 people have come Most of the monsters and bosses killed by Ark would’ve died for the first ti their best iteh With the use of Drastic Measures, the Netherworld had becoold mine for Ark

Clack clack clack, clack clack clack!

Then, he heard Deimos approach the place where Tamura’s head fellArk beca A horrific scene was unfolding in front of Ark Dei the flesh off Tamura’s head Deimos had revealed a skull in an instant and cradled it with a warm look on his face Then he placed Tamura’s skull with the rest of his skeleton A blue fla on the new skeleton

‘W-what is going on? Oh my God……Is this the reason Deimos didn’t want us to attack Tamura’s head……?’

He coveted Ta’ hobby, but to even change his head? It was a bizarre sight But Ark hadn’t assessed the situation correctly Deie the bones

The new skeleton eimmediately appeared next to Ark
