Chapter 23 (1/2)

Soon the smoke gradually faded.

He saw a giant animal about 20 to 30cm standing on the stage. It was looking down the stage while holding a huge mace. Down there, twenty people had collapsed onto the floor. And only three people were still standing. Hanho and Jisu emerged from the smoke thanks to the potions.

“Whew! Why am I so refreshed? Hahaha!”

Sungwoo felt a bit strange. After he inhaled the smoke, he felt enormous pleasure beyond description, so much so that he smiled in satisfaction.

-Mana has been greatly increased by the Breath of the Abyss.

-Mana (4,585/4,585)

“Is my mana over 4,000? Now I know why it feels so pleasant. Hahaha…”

-Breath of the Abyss has accumulated in the body and you have temporarily been exposed to the ‘1st stimulant.’

-All stats have been significantly increased.

-The maximum number of subordinates has temporarily increased (+50).

It was clear as to why he was full of stamina.

“I just don’t know what you’ve done for me, but I want to know the secret behind this.”

Sungwoo found himself to be immensely strong.

When he, who was perfectly fine, walked toward it confidently, the boss orc’s face hardened.

“It looks like the boss never expected it at all?”

“Oh, is this why the boss took his time to sacrifice all its subordinates? Operation Poison Gas?”

The sacrifices were needed to prepare mysterious witchcraft and quite a long spell cast time.

They began to understand their puzzle over the boss orc’s suspicious actions. To say the least, the boss orc made numerous sacrifices for a devastating blow, but it had made a big mistake.

Perhaps the five-star Necromancer card selected by Sungwoo was a joker because it served as a decisive blow at the decisive moment for him.

Hanho and Jisu stood on his sides.

“Well, it seems like a repetition of our fight on the rooftop. Oops…I’ve got heartburn…I feel like I had too much alcohol, then a hangover drink.”

“I am also ready to fight.”

However, Sungwoo shook his head.

“No, it’s going to be a little different from our fight at the rooftop.”

At that moment, Sungwoo’s eyes glowed red. Although it was a temporary 1st stimulant, it seemed to prove that he was clearly changed.

<The dead have become your subordinate under your authority.>

<The dead have become your subordinate under your authority.>

<The dead have become your subordinate under your authority.>

The same message kept popping up before his eyes.

And the bodies of the orcs that fell down around the boss monster on the stage began to wiggle. They were the orcs who sacrificed themselves to create the black smoke.

As expected, all their skin was blown away, and their red pupils lit up over their white bones.

“Well, what the heck is that…”

That transformation frightened Jisu and Hanho. Twenty orc skeletons were resurrecting all at once.

At that moment, the chief orc also watched the surroundings in a tense state.

Skeletons were standing up in all directions. Even the goblin bodies hanging in the air resurrected and shook their bodies.

After taking in the “Breath of the Abyss” created by the chief orc, the stats temporarily increased dramatically, so the maximum number of subordinates Sungwoo could control was now 59.

As a result of resurrecting all the bodies in the vicinity, 33 skeletons were activated.

-‘Synergy effect’ is now active because of your team play.

“Uh, why are there so many of them?”

That was not the end.

Sungwoo almost felt dizzy because of the fantastic message before his eyes.
