Necrosex Supporter 117

Chapter 117 – Episode 117. Advent of the Demon King

“We are a coalition of people who are all coming into this game now with the same purpose. Everyone knows that, right?”

“Of course.”

Three people nodded at my words.
As I just said, we are all users who are playing the game with the same goal.
The goal is not to end the game.
This game, which ends only when the hero or the demon king dies, is to be maintained until the end by making sure neither of them die.
In a way, it is a gathering of people who want to play a nuclear role in interfering with the rules of the game.
Everyone has their own reasons.
Uncle Captain and Uncle Muscle for their own lives, and the hero Sua Lee does not want to end the game for the life of his only blood relative, his nephew.
Since they are all gathered for the same purpose, there is absolutely no possibility that someone will betray them.
First of all, Mr. Captain is my subordinate, so betraying me is unthinkable.
It would be completely unthinkable for the hero Sua Lee to betray me because her nephew is my subordinate.
In addition, Lee Soo-ah has a personal crush on me..
Finally, the muscle man.
In fact, this man is the only person who will not be completely controlled by my will.
However, as long as there is a job compatibility that makes it very difficult to go against me and a special environment in which I die after the game is over, this muscle man has no choice but to cooperate with me unconditionally.
So, I can believe that at least the three people at this round table are the ones who won’t stab me in the back.
I looked at them with a happy face and continued talking.

“I’m glad you know me well. Then, let’s move on to the actual story. Currently, the most stumbling block to our purpose is the Demon King. Yes? Everyone knows that the demon king will descend sooner or later. That’s why we’re gathered like this. As expected, the power and scale of the Demon King’s army will be enormous. Individuals will never be able to stop them, and our current forces will be very small compared to them.”

“I need to increase my power..”

I nodded at Lee Soo-ah’s words and said.

“You’re right. We need to grow more powerful. In addition, the strength of each individual must also be raised. Especially Sua’s powerlessness. Because the Demon King and his army will focus on Sua.”

“…”

Sooah Lee silently nodded.
It looks like it’s pretty embarrassing.
I spoke to her in a soft voice as if to soothe her.

“You don’t have to worry too much. The demon lord will descend sooner or later, but there will be time before he becomes active. He needs time to recover his strength.”

“That is good news.”

“In addition, this Demon King’s Advent Ceremony will be conducted without one corps commander. This is expected to the end… But because of the incomplete Advent consciousness, the Demon King may descend with some penalty. If that happens, it will be good news for us indeed.”

The muscle man who was listening to what I was saying asked me with a very surprised expression.

“I was curious when you told us about migration before… How does Min-gu know these facts?”

“I have a separate informant. That’s why you can know these things in advance.”

The muscle man nodded in admiration for my words.
I looked at him like that and smiled, then continued talking.

“We will provide additional information as well. The Demon King may not be active early, but the Demons will start their activities right away. It is said that it has a different level of power from the existing monsters, so if you encounter it, you should pay great attention to it. “

“As demons… I wonder what they look like. Is there any information about it?”

The appearance of a demon…
Wouldn’t it be similar to Juniel?
Juniel is a high-ranking demon, but normal demons have smaller horns or something.
I’ll ask Juniel later.

“Um… I don’t know about that, but… I’m guessing it’s probably in the shape of a horned human. Except for the horns, I think it would look no different from a human. I will definitely look into this and talk about it.”

“Okay. A man with horns… Huh..?”

The muscle man who had nodded his head looked at me with a breath as if he remembered something.
Not only that, but Lee Soo-ah also looks at me with her wide eyes and is amazed.
Everyone must have thought of Juniel.
I said with a smile.

“Well, there’s no need to hide it from fellow shipmates. It’s just what you think. But please don’t be too expressive. Did you know?”

The group heads nodded at my words.
It’s okay to say that Juniel’s horns are no longer cosplaying.
Feeling a bit relieved, I moved on to the next item.

“The community is scheduled to open at the same time as the demon king descends. I think it will be possible to communicate with users in other regions, and furthermore, all over the world. I was curious about the situation elsewhere, but it turned out well. “

“That’s really good news. There are still many guild members who are having a hard time hearing news from families in other regions…”

Lee Soo-ah said with a happy face.

“I don’t know how it will be used yet, but as Sua said, we may find out about family members in other regions. Anyway, let’s think about how to use the community after seeing how it opens. Oh, and one more. The auction house function will be activated along with the community.”

“Auction house?”

“Yes. In the past, it was only possible to purchase items using your own store, right? Now, I think it will be possible to trade between users using the auction house.”

“It’s an auction house… It seems like it’s really becoming more and more like a game.”

“Iknow, right. Anyway, I don’t think we should throw away things that are difficult to dispose of in the future. Do you know If I put it on the auction house, someone might buy it.”

“I’ll have to see if I can sell anything.”

Based on the information I gave, the three heads of organizations had a conversation about how to use the community and the auction house in the future.
The meeting was concluded only after the three additional organizations shared the areas to be in charge of and decided on a contact system.

********

The playground of the Swordsman Guild.
Today is the day to test Yuna Jin’s skills.
The vacant lot behind the stationery was too narrow, so the experiment was conducted by borrowing a playground from the Swordsman Guild.
While the guild members of the Swordsman Guild, curious about what kind of experiments we were doing, were hanging out of the windows of the school building and watching, Yuna Jin was standing at one end of her playground, preparing to use her skill.
Currently, Yuna Jin’s ‘Turn Undead’ skill level is a whopping 4.
The fact that her skill level jumped from level 1 to level 4 all at once was possible because she had leveled up in a recent battle.
How many times did he just hit the orc who had put him in a dying state?
In the end, Jinyu, who leveled up her, invested all her skill points she received into the turn undead skill.
In the end, it was a turn undead skill that leveled up to 4 levels at once.
Today is the day to test that skill on my skeleton soldiers.
Jia, who is vulnerable to Yuna Jin’s skills, is already taken to the Subway Guild by Sua Lee.
I stood at the end of the playground opposite Jin Yuna and summoned the Skeleton Soldiers.
The distance between Jin Yuna and her skeleton soldiers was about 100 meters.
It is about 10 times farther than the empty lot behind the stationery.
At this distance, how much power can Jin Yuna’s turn undead exert?
I asked Juniel, Shieun, Jiyoon, and Jisoo who were standing behind me.

“Because you are going to use the skill, prepare your mind well. Don’t think it’s the same level of power as last time. Got it?”

My subordinates who nodded at my words.
I sent a signal with her hand to Jin Yuna, who was standing far away, and Jin Yuna saw her signal and used her skill.

Flash

A white light emanating from Yuna Jin.
It is a much stronger light than when the skill level was 1 level.
A light so powerful that it is impossible to look at it from the front.
All four subordinates standing behind me grabbed the hem of my clothes.
I guess I was pretty dizzy.
I braced myself to keep them from falling.
After the light disappeared, I first looked after the safety of my subordinates.

“Are you okay?”

Sieun, who was frowning, replied as the representative.

“It’s okay, brother. Quite dizzy…But not too bad. However, if you get hit by that light up close, I think it might be quite damaging.”

Hmm, that’s really strong.
This is why counter skills are so scary.
After confirming that my subordinates were safe, I turned my eyes to the Skeleton Soldiers.
Just like when I experimented in the stationery vacant lot in the past, they are all gone.
Except for just one.
I looked at the surviving Skeleton Soldier with a proud face.

“Definitely worth the money. That necklace.”

A slender silver necklace hanging from the skull’s neck.
This necklace was purchased at a store for this experiment.
It is a necklace with the effect of ‘nullifying divine magic’.
Of course, it is not infinite.
There is a limit of 5 times per day.
It’s a way to recharge after a day.
If you have this necklace, you don’t have to be afraid of my subordinates’ counter skills like Jin Yuna’s ‘Turn Undead’ anymore.
But the problem is the price.
That one necklace is worth 3,000 gold.
It’s an item that can perfectly block a specific skill, so it’s inevitable that it’s expensive.
When Jun said that items with a ‘damage reduction’ effect rather than a ‘nullification’ effect were much cheaper, so why not use it, I boldly chose a necklace with a ‘nullification’ effect.
The safety of my precious subordinates is at stake, so money is not an issue.
Of course, even with all my remaining possessions, I have only been able to purchase one.
I think I’ll have to use the money I save in the future to buy that necklace.
The number of my subordinates is seven in total.
Among them, the captain ordered the guild members to rip off and buy them.
Do you know whether to buy it or not?
And Dong-seok is unlikely to be put into battle, so I pass for now.
You have to buy necklaces for the remaining five people.
I bought one, so the other four.
A situation where you need a total of 12,000 gold.

‘I’ll have to collect the bones. 12,000 gold… Uhhh.’

Sighing inwardly, I advanced the skeleton soldier right in front of Jinyuna.
The goal of today’s experiment is to endure even the turn undead skill that shoots right in front of your nose.
Yuna Jin, whose mana consumption for skill use decreased due to leveling up, immediately used the turn undead skill.
The light flashes once again.
And looking at my skeleton soldier who was still standing, I ended the experiment with a proud face.

*****

“You’re giving this… To Jia?”

Lee Soo-ah, who received the necklace from me, looked at me with a bewildered face.

“Yes. It’s something everyone agreed upon. Isn’t Zi the one most vulnerable to divine spells right now? If you wear this necklace, you won’t have to worry about counter skills anymore.”

I called Jia holding the teddy bear I gave her and put the necklace around her neck.

“Jia. This is a gift from my uncle to Jia, so you should never unwrap it. Got it?”

Jia played with her necklace around her neck, her eyes twinkling, and she replied, ‘Yes!’
Oh wow that’s cute

“Mi, Min-gu. As far as I know, that necklace… I know the price is exorbitant…”

“What is the price? Jia is also my subordinate, so I have to take care of her.”

“Well, but… Then I’ll add a little later.”

“Hey, why are you like this? Sua must have been like that before. You don’t want to be with me doing such trivial calculations…”

“Yeah, but… This is not a trivial calculation, it’s a huge sum…”

“Because it’s okay. If you keep doing this, are you trying to make me feel bad?”

When I pretended to be sad, Lee Soo-ah bit his lower lip and bowed deeply to me.

“Really.. Thank you so much Min-gu.. Really..”

“Don’t do this. Are we exchanging thanks for something like this? If you do this, it makes me uncomfortable and it becomes difficult to deal with Sua.”

“Mingoo..”

Lee Soo-ah looks at me with moist eyes.
Hmmm, something’s not right in the atmosphere.
A strange atmosphere where something interesting would have happened had it not been for Jia.
But because there was Jia looking at me and Lee Soo-ah with her clear eyes, we just awkwardly looked at each other.
So, the message that suddenly appeared in front of my eyes felt quite welcome.
Although the message wasn’t good news.

[The Demon King descends.]
