Chapter 93: Ant Hell (5)

From the arms to the neck.

Wi Rungkang’s entire body has been dismembered.

[Your level has increased by 3!]

With each kill, his level steadily rises. Having leveled up to 196 after capturing Five, Seven, and the trainees earlier.

Three more levels went up, reaching level 199. Considering that he was level 180 when he came in, it was an unbelievable surge.

A significant level difference.

That must be the result, factoring in the Double experience bonus.

[TL/N: The Literal Tl is “Awakened experience bonus” But that doesn’t make sense so I changed it to Double Experience Bonus.]

‘Easy.’

If it weren’t for Merhen, it would have taken much more time. Because he would have resisted using all sorts of magic.

But things were different now.

Can’t a mage use magic?

Then they should die.

[Hunted the first prey!]

[The demons are delighted!]

[Gained 20 Demon Points!]

He looked at the group of shadows.

The second one chosen was…

“Let’s go!”

He was Japanese.

He didn’t know his name.

But he knew his skills.

Because he checked when he threw the undeads to fight earlier.

He’s just an ordinary S-rank swordsman.

He had a rough idea why he was voted for.

From Han Baekgil to One to Four.

They’re all Koreans.

On the other hand, Wi Rungkang and that Japanese are of different nationalities.

If you’re going to throw someone on the altar, you might as well throw someone else first.

The Japanese swordsman, who had been resisting, was eventually pulled toward the middle.

[The second prey joins in!]

[Battle will begin in 5 seconds! Get ready!]

Dolsoe and Cedric.

And Merhen and the rest of the summoned group. The eyes of the Japanese swordsman, Satoru, trembled at the overwhelming number.

It had been a long time since his last outing.

The pay wasn’t bad either, so he’d gone along for the ride.

‘I’m screwed.’

He had seen Kim Minwoo’s skills earlier.

He was a swordsman who could handle a sword to some extent himself.

The difference in skill was obvious at a glance.

Even if he were to eliminate all the summons and face each other one-on-one, he wouldn’t win.

The gap between them was that insane.

This was going to be his grave.

A faint Korean slipped from his lips.

“Shi… Shit….”

[The battle begins!]

Kim Minwoo and Cedric rushed in.

It didn’t even take 10 seconds for his neck to be cut off.

[TL/N: At least he Didn’t say “I’ll Win” Lmao]

Damn it.

In the swirling world, his last thought came to him.

[Hunted the second prey!]

[A clean massacre!]

[Gained 25 Demon Points]

[Your level has increased by 2!]

It was when two more levels were added like that.

A message popped up.

[Cedric achieved level 201!]

[First seal is released!]

[Stats adjusted!]

[Merhen achieved level 201!]

[First seal is released!]

[Stats adjusted!]

‘Huh?’

Cedric and Merhen.

Their appearances began to change.

First, Cedric.

His physique grew even larger, as if he were growing taller.

His bones thickened, and the circles under his eyes became darker.

Merhen’s appearance had also changed similarly. However, she didn’t feel like she was bulking up like Cedric.

The parasol she held.

Strange magical runes were engraved on it.

At first glance, it looked like some sinister occult tool.

Soon after.

[Cedric’s ability stats are being adjusted!]

[Original: Level-up all stats +1 -> Level-up all stats +2]

[Merhen’s ability stats are being adjusted!]

[Original: Level-up mana multiplier x3 -> Mana multiplier x4]

“…?”

What’s this again?

He checked Cedric’s status window.

[Cedric]

[Occupation: Dragon Knight]

[Level: 201]

[Loyalty: 100]

[Skills: Master of Spear(SS), Shadow Spear(SS), Dragon’s Strike(S)]

[Special Notes: Physical abilities have greatly increased as the first seal has been lifted.]

[Strength: 634 (+317)] [Agility: 590 (+295)] [Vitality: 620 (+310)] [Mana: 636 (+318)]

[Special Success Effects]

[10% increase in movement speed]

[Mini Breath can be activated]

[10% increase in reflex speed]

[20% increase in arm strength]

Kim Minwoo blinked.

‘His stats have skyrocketed?’

Cedric.

Cedric was a summoner who could utilize bone exchange. Even after embedding the head of an ancient dragon, he continued to steadily embed bones whenever the capacity allowed.

The 20% increase in arm strength came from inserting the arm bone of an ogre, and the increase in reflex speed was the effect generated from inserting the spine of a raptor.

Additional equipment stat effects from successful stat adjustments and weapon enhancements.

Even adding the increase from the Death Lord, the average stat was still close to 600.

But now, things were different.

‘It’s been inflated to 900?’

With the increase in all stats per level and the application of Death Lord’s effect on that increase, this was what had happened.

‘This is crazy.’

Honestly, there were some regrets before. Because as you advanced to higher-tier summons, it was expected that the stat adjustments per level would increase.

Just look at Dolsoe for example.

‘Strength and vitality were doubled. Agility 1x, mana 0.5x.’

Mana is a bit behind, but instead it has a structure that receives ability stats adjustments in its specialty areas of strength and vitality.

In the end, the increase in stats per level was around 5.5.

Considering that an ordinary skeleton gains 4 stats per level up, it can be said that it has a much greater advantage.

The same goes for Death Knights and Liches. Those guys get more than 4 stats per level 1.

And what about Cedric, the Legion Commander?

Originally, he should have received even more stat adjustments.

But it hadn’t been like that before. He had only increased by 4 in each stat, just like the lowest-tier summon.

Of course, he didn’t think it would stay that way.

They said it was sealed.

So it will be released someday.

He had been thinking that.

‘I never thought it would happen now…’

All stats doubled.

And this was just the first seal.

He didn’t even know how crazier it could get later.

“In fact, it’s only natural.”

He was SSS-rank.

It was strange that he had only gained single stats in the past.

Even with this kind of increase.

‘Death Lord effect is applied to everything.’

Taking that into account, it’s like a triple increase. Thanks to that, these insane stats came out.

“Now you really look like a Legion Commander.”

Kim Minwoo nodded satisfactorily. Merhen’s mana had also inflated.

[Translator – Prøks]

[Proofreader – Prøks]

[Merhen]

[Occupation: Archmage]

[Level: 201]

[Skills: Archmage (SS), Scream of Terror (S)]

[Loyalty: 100]

[Strength: 201(+100)] [Agility: 201(+100)] [Vitality: 201(+100)] [Mana: 1020(+510)]

[Special Notes: With the first seal released, mana stats have greatly increased.]

Level 201.

The base mana at four times multiplier was around 800.

With equipment enhancements, the mana raised to approximately 200.

Adding the Death Lord effect, the mana reached close to 1,500.

‘Wow.’

The insane increase in mana.

Though strength, agility, and vitality were significantly lower, she was a mage from the start. Without mana, her profession would be useless.

Other stats didn’t matter as long as the basics were provided.

Kim Minwoo wasn’t the only one surprised.

The Awakened from the Shadow side who were waiting on the opposite side of the road were just as shocked.

Cedric and Merhen.

They were the summoned beings they were observing. Not only did their appearance suddenly change, but they also started emitting a heavier presence, as if they had become even stronger.

“Damn it!”

Four pounded the ground with his foot. It was such a frustrating situation.

What was even more despairing was the fact that despite buying time by throwing those two, they hadn’t found a clear way to escape from here.

Han Baekgil stared intently at Four.

“……You have to go.”

“Shit……”

Now there were no foreigners.

Only native Koreans were gathered.

It seemed that Han Baekgil was trying to send out the weaker ones first.

Of course, the captain and One, Two and Three were probably fine. But he wasn’t.

Four, who had become desperate, looked at everyone and said.

“Hey, are you really going to do this? This means the captain will be the last one.”

“……So you want us to throw the captain first?”

“Isn’t this unfair? We all agreed to come here, right? Then the vote should be fair, right? Just let us decide who will be pushed to their death.”

“……Don’t talk nonsense, Fourve already talked about sacrifice a long time ago. In the meantime, if we can find a way out, we’ll obviously need strong people to escape.”

“Damn it! We couldn’t find it until now, so are we going to find it now? Hey, Three! Two! Are you really going to do this? You guys are next!”

“…I’m sorry.”

Four.

Three.

Two.

The three went out and all had their throats cut before even lasting a minute.

One and Han Baekgil.

Only two people remained.

“…Damn it. Captain, is there really no way to escape? Can’t you at least try to pray or something!”

“…Prayer isn’t something you can just do anytime.”

“Shit… Shit…”

But, what happens if it goes like this?

A method of designating sacrifices through voting.

But everyone only has one vote each.

It was when the two of them looked at each other helplessly.

[Winner Takes All!]

[Fight!]

[The winning prey gains one vote!]

“…This is really screwed up.”

“I agree.”

Han Baekgil and One rushed towards each other.

Even if just one of them could survive.

Han Baekgil, who had knocked down One, sighed and said.

“I’m sorry.”

“Damn it….”

One, deceased.

The only one left, Han Baekgil, looked around.

The gate is a heap of variables.

That’s why he was searching for any way to survive. It was a problem that nothing seemed to work, though.

Then.

[You are the only remaining prey!]

[The demons are bored with one-sided games!]

[One demon proposes!]

[Deal condition: Offer your soul]

[Exchange: Demon’s power]

[Will you accept the deal?]

Han Baekgil swallowed his breath.

‘That’s it!’

Sure enough.

As if there was no way to just die like this, a ridiculous proposal came in. It said that if you offer your soul, you will be given power.

‘I’m going to die anyway.’

Soul?

What the hell is that?

Surviving right now is more important.

Han Baekgil nodded without hesitation.

That was the moment.

[Your soul has been mortgaged!]

[In return, the power of the demon is given!]

[Your race will be converted to a demon!]

Han Baekgil’s body began to swell.

* * *

‘So, he sold his soul.’

Kim Minwoo watched that sight dumbfoundedly.

It was already known.

That’s how it went down when he discovered this Hidden Piece before.

Kill them one by one, and the last one turns into a demon.

He got a bit stronger, but in the end, he got caught.

It’s just the same now.

‘Is that bastard going to be stacked on the Command Sword?’

The disciples and the S-rank awakening users.

Unfortunately, it seemed they weren’t satisfactory opponents, as the sword didn’t absorb blood from them.

But if it’s Han Baekgil….

‘Will it absorb him?’

Plus, he’ll likely give plenty of achievement points.

He’s already excited.

[The last prey joins the fray!]

[In 5 seconds, the battle will commence! Get ready!]

He stared intently at Han Baekgil.

Then.

His body began to tremble violently.

[The effect of ‘The One Who Took Balkan’s Eye’ is activated!]

[You feel a powerful pressure from the ‘demon’ before you!]

Han Baekgil, the demon, started sweating profusely.

‘The title is working well.’

That’s why he came here.

This was a gate where this title could really come into play.

―No, that’s not right… How can I…

Han Baekgil was greatly taken aback.

He sold his soul.

But the situation worsened.

A dreadful pressure.

His heart thumped, and his spine shivered.

Even before the battle began, Han Baekgil was already tasting despair.

What good was becoming a demon and getting stronger if he couldn’t even fight!

[The battle begins!]

Three minutes into the battle.

As a demon, Han Baekgil’s limbs grew stronger, but it took until his limbs were severed and his head fell for the battle to end.

[Your level has increased by 5.]

– You are the ‘Harbinger of Humanity’s Horizon’!

– You perceive the changes in the world!

– You hunted down one of the main villains, ‘Han Baekgil’!

– You receive 300 achievement points.

– You have a vending machine for achievements! Points are doubled!

Achievement point messages.

[The Command Sword absorbs the blood of its prey! (1/10)]

Blood absorption message.

And on top of that.

[You have gained 50 demon points!]

[Total points gained: 200 points]

[Amazing score!]

[Selecting a demon to reward…]

He gained demon points.

Near the fallen body of Han Baekgil, several items lay scattered.

Among them was a peculiar, ominous-looking bead. It reminded me of what Han Baekgil mentioned before.

He said he obtained a bead imbued with great power through prayer and unleashed an experience point copying bug.

‘Could that be the bead he mentioned?’

It seemed like something worth checking out.
