Chapter 298 (1/2)

“Huhuhu.”

The advancing army of death that trampled on every living thing was a very suitable scene for the King of Death.

‘Hahaha. Dye everything with death, my army...!’

Now his name, Louis Cassel, wouldn’t be forgotten. He had no doubts. He believed that, on the Ark Continent, he would become the King of Death, ‘Nekron,’ who was at the peak of everyone. The users who were filled with fear and awe would look up at him and shout. By this time, his madness had reached the climax.

-Stop the undead army for a moment.

A sudden message from Carlos was delivered through Lich’s Eye. Nekron frowned slightly before soon discovering the reason. ‘Choi Chuntaek?’

He scoured the battlefield through the Lich’s Eyes and found Choi Chuntaek, who was standing among the players in the distance. He couldn’t help sighing. “Ha...!”

He hadn’t expected to meet so soon. Nekron gave a low, mad laugh. The plan to capture his granddaughter and take her hostage was disrupted, but a disaster turned into a blessing since Choi Chuntaek was his purpose in the first place. All that was left was revenge.

The Pandora bead around his neck started to resonate with Nekron’s feelings. An eerie sensation filled his body like he was facing endless death and darkness. Simultaneously, the rising power gave Nekron an unmatched sense of satisfaction.

“Haah...! Ha...!”

It felt like he had taken drugs. Previously, he hadn’t understood why the drug addicts seen on TV did something so bad for their health. Now Nekron seemed to know the reason.

“I can’t miss this golden opportunity.”

Nekron wielded the skeleton staff he was holding and exchanged positions with a skeleton on the far end of the battlefield. Soon, a black cloud covered his entire body. The place he appeared at was the very end of the battlefield seen through the Lich’s Eyes. Upon arrival, he heard a useless quarrel between Carlos and Choi Chuntaek.

“Did you come to be beaten again?”

“You damn old man!”

“Today, you and those skeletons behind you will be beaten!”

“Don’t regret it!”

He stopped his army just for Carlos to do this? Nekron felt annoyed again and glared at the back of Carlos’ head.

“Full force. Charge—!”

[Pandora’s power has strengthened the power of death and darkness.]

[The undead around you are resonating with Pandora.]

[The summoned undead have a sense of belonging to the ‘army of death.’]

[Currently, you are the leader of the ‘army of death.’]

Nekron saw the powerful undead’ stats and then his gaze turned toward Choi Chuntaek. The old man was standing there stupidly, smoking a cigarette to greet the army of death.

‘He is relaxed enough to smoke. Today, I will break that arrogant nose and flatten it!’

It happened as Nekron made up his mind...

Suddenly, a huge cloud ravaged the area in front of it and rushed in a straight line.

“W-What?”

The dullahans and death knights in the path were mercilessly destroyed and Carlos, who had stepped forward, was logged out without even making a single attack.

* * *

“Uh, um...”

At the sudden situation, the battle entered a brief lull. The rushing death knights and dullahans encountered Atlas’ Cloud Confection. They couldn’t withstand the destructive power of what I called ‘Yeouicho’ and shattered. The sheer size and power caused the users’ mouths to drop open and attracted attention from everywhere.

“W-What is this...?”

Mido was so surprised that she stuttered. However, I didn’t have time to care about her as a message popped up in front of me.

[The starting words ‘Grow, Yeouicho’ are registered.]

[From now on, Atlas’ Cloud Confection will be your weapon every time you shout these words.]

Oh my god. I hadn’t expected it to be a weapon. It was an ability resembling the famous Sun Wukong’s weapon, the Golden Cudgel. Why was this hidden in Atlas’ Cloud Confection? I didn’t know the reason. I could ask Atlas later. In any case, he gave me such a huge cigarette. I was really thankful.

“...It is great, Atlas.” I muttered in a small voice that no one could hear.

[The apostle, ‘Heavy Smoker Carrying the Sky,’ is shrugging with a satisfied expression.]

Just then, a shout was heard from one side. Everyone started to chant my name with disbelieving expressions. The name ‘Choi Chuntaek’ spread like wildfire.
