Chapter 156 – Chapter 156. Isabella
The plane takes off,
I let out a big sigh and told my companions.
“Everyone has been through a lot. Somehow, things worked out.”
“Your brother suffered a lot too. Are you tired?”
“I’m tired, but what? I’m proud. Yuna, you suffered a lot too.”
“I-it’s me… I haven’t done much.”
“Nothing was done. He gave a very good performance at the end. Are you good at acting?”
“That, that…”
Jin Yuna, blushing and ashamed.
After complimenting her once more, I looked at her companions and said,
“I’m going back now, so let’s all get some rest. I will inspect the crops and rest.”
At my words, my party scattered to their seats.
I immediately summoned the door of rest and went inside.
A decapitated body lying on the floor.
It was pushed in so hastily that the severed head was rolling around in the cradle of rest.
I picked up the head rolling on the floor and brought it to my body.
After roughly matching the head, I reached out my hand to the corpse and tried using the ‘Wake Up’ skill.
“…”
.. Nothing happens.
I kind of expected that, but…
It must mean that the sum of the stats of this woman named ‘Isabella’ is higher than the sum of my stats.
I opened my status window with a bitter expression on my face.
“Status window.”

I looked at my status window with proud eyes.
My level has gone up 5 times at once.
Even so, the amount of gold did not increase much.
Certainly, gold seems to go up a lot when you catch the same person.
No matter how many monsters and demons you kill, it doesn’t seem to spread much.
However, the amount of souls inside the jar increased exponentially.
A whopping 1200 or more souls were collected.
Killing Gadores must have been quite a big deal.
Since it exceeded 3000, it was ready to use the Gate of the Underworld again.
This time, I shouldn’t waste my time opening the gates of the underworld to deal with pathetic enemies like before.
I looked at Isabella’s body.
By the way, you can’t even raise it with level 40 stats.
Actually, Liu Siuying was level 49 when I raised him.
Isabella, who has skills specialized in massacre, so if it was higher than that, it would be higher, not lower.
At this rate, we have no choice but to wait until the next door to the underworld is opened.
However, there is still one method that can be used.
I can’t use it right now, but I’ll try it when I get back.
If that doesn’t work, well, I have no choice but to keep the corpse in the cradle of rest until I open the door to the underworld.
If you put it in the cradle, it won’t rot.
I put off raising Isabella for the time being, then looked at the status window for skill distribution.
Because he had risen 5 levels at once, his skill points went up by 40.
What skills should I level up?
For now, the ‘Door of Rest’ skill is excluded.
It would be nice if it gets bigger and has more features, but it’s still good enough and usable.
In terms of priorities, I have no choice but to fall behind.
Then, what is left now are ‘Hand of Exploitation’, ‘Arise’, and ‘Legion of the Dead’…
All three are very useful.
The ‘Wake Up’ skill is the core of my strength, so it can be said to be the most important, and in the case of ‘Exploitation Hand’, its effectiveness shined in the fight against Gadores this time.
Healing me and my allies by sucking the blood of others. Are you too deceitful?
And the Legion of the Dead is also a very useful skill.
If it wasn’t for my Skeleton Soldiers, I wouldn’t have been able to clear up the rubbish mobs so easily.
After thinking about it, I decided to invest points evenly in all skills.
Because I got a lot of points anyway.
First of all, I invested 15 points in the ‘Wake Up’ skill.
[The skill ‘Wake Up’ has reached level 15. The number of dependencies that can be held is added by 1.]
Um… Is there any other additional skill or something?
I invested the most points, but it’s only that the number of possible dependencies has increased.
It’s a bit unfortunate.
Well, I can’t help it
I then invested points in the ‘exploitation hand’ skill.
[The ‘exploitation hand’ skill has reached level 9. Skill mana consumption is reduced.]
…
This is crap too
In fact, the reduced mana consumption is also quite a useful effect.
Since it is the ‘exploitation hand’ that has become a wide area vending machine, maintaining its use continuously is a burden on mana.
But… The burden of mana can be solved with mana potions.
That’s why I can’t help but feel that this additional effect is a bit wasteful.
Already used 25 points.
All points left are 18.
‘I can raise the level of the hand of exploitation and the legion of the dead by one more.’
I first used 10 points to level up the ‘exploitation hand’ skill.
[The ‘exploitation hand’ skill has reached level 10. Remote Siphon’s range is increased to 6m.]
‘Good!!’
However, the desired effect was added.
If the range is 6m, it is twice the size of the existing 3m.
It is a story that you can suck the life force of enemies within 6m of you.
At the same time, it can also heal allies within the same range.
In the future, it will be able to exert great power in a melee situation.
With proud eyes, I used 6 skill points for the ‘Legion of the Dead’ skill.
[The ‘Legion of the Dead’ skill has reached level 7. The number of dead summoned increases by 10.]
The Legion of the Dead skill had the same effect as the last level up.
Now my Skeleton Soldiers are a story that a total of 35 can come out.
Very good.
This made me even stronger.
I looked at the remaining 2 skill points.
I wanted to keep it for later, but there’s one skill I can still upgrade.
It’s the ‘Strike of Fury’ skill.
It’s a skill left behind by a great soul when I opened the door to the Underworld last time.
Since it’s the only offensive skill I have, I don’t think it’s bad to raise the level to some extent.
I invested 1 skill point to raise the skill level of Raging Blow to 2.
[The level of the ‘Strike of Fury’ skill has become 2. The power becomes even stronger.]
Hmm.
It’s just a normal effect.
The power has become even stronger, so I’m sure I’ll do something.
This raised the level of all skills except for 1 point.
I took one look at my status window with proud eyes and closed it.
It was a fruitful expedition in many ways.
Get the 5-star job you wanted, and get the 1st corps commander, the core force of the Demon King’s Army.
With this, the power of four out of five priests can be gathered into one.
If I could make just one more last person mine, to be honest, I don’t think the Demon King would be so scary either.
The question is, where do you find that last one 5-star job?
Because there are no clues.
Well, I guess I have no choice but to go back and search the bulletin board again.
I came out of the cradle with a relieved heart.
Normally, the travel time would be wasteful, so anyone would grab one and raise their stats, but
I am very tired today.
After telling my companions that I would rest, I lay down in my bedroom on the second floor of the plane, and my tired body immediately fell asleep as soon as I lay down on the bed.
****
“… Bar”
“…”
“.. Brother!!”
When I woke up to the sound of someone waking me up, Jiyoon came into sight.
“… Huh? What’s the matter?”
“We are almost there.”
“Oh, already?”
“Already. I’ve been flying for 5 hours. At least, I was spinning around in the sky to ask my brother to sleep a little longer.”
“Oh yeah? I must have been very tired. I’m completely out of bed.”
“Would you like some more sleep? If so, let me circle the sky a little longer.”
“No. Wake up It was bright for me too.”
Looking out the bright window, it appeared to be the time when dawn was breaking.
Is it morning
I stretched out and stood up, and Jiyoon immediately brought warm water to me in a small basin.
As expected, Jiyoon is meticulous.
I roughly washed my face and went down to the first floor.
After saying hello to the people who greeted me, I moved to the cockpit and ordered Dong-seok to land on the playground of the Swordsman Guild.
A plane flying freely through buildings and resting well on a playground.
When the door of the plane opened, I saw the guild members of the Swordsman Guild gathered and welcoming us.
Hmm, it’s nice that there are people who welcome you like this.
Sua smiled brightly and ran towards me.
“Brother! You have suffered a lot. Are you tired?”
“What have I done? Didn’t everything go well?”
“Yeah, nothing happened here. I heard you recruited the person you wanted? Where..”
I whispered softly into her ear.
“I haven’t gotten up yet. I have some problems. When the captain comes, I will raise him up.”
“Wait a little. I’ve contacted you, so I’ll be back soon.”
As Sua said, after a while, the captain came running in a hurry.
“Ah, Min-gu. You’re back. I was contacted urgently and ran.”
“You worked hard. Have you prepared what I said?”
“Yes, here…”
After accepting the iron box the old man gave me, I said with a satisfied face.
“Thank you. Fortunately, I guess I had some spare time.”
“Yes, I have something prepared in advance. Have you used up everything I gave you before departure?”
“Yes. Used up during battle. Still, I was able to last up to five, right?”
“Oh, is that so? If I use more than 3, I feel a burden on my body..”
“It must be because of my age.”
“Ah…”
The old man who let out a gloomy sigh.
Hmm, did I say too much?
Feeling a little sorry, I said to the captain with a shy expression.
“But don’t be too sad. You will never grow old.”
“Well… That’s definitely good.”
In the end, the boss who smiles and ends.
I blew the rotten cow once to such a big man and told Sua.
“I’ll come in right away. Wait for a while.”
“Yes, brother.”
My subordinates follow me into the cradle.
You come in because you have something to see.
Shi-eun, Ji-yoon, and Ji-soo were shocked to see Isabella’s body lying on the floor.
It’s a decapitated corpse. No surprise.
I immediately opened the iron case the captain gave me.
Five injections identical to those used in the previous battle.
After activating the ‘Doping’ skill, I inserted 5 needles at once.
As before, my strength is rising and my body is pumping.
As I climbed up to the tendons with full power, I immediately opened the status window.

Good.
All stats went up by 50 with the doping skill.
Hopefully this time it will be possible
Please, let it be this time.
I reached out to the lying Isabella and said,
“Wake up.”
A dark aura rose from her hand and was sucked into Isabella’s corpse.
Soon after, her headless Isabella’s body sprang up, and her eyes flashed open on her Isabella’s head that lay on her floor.
Oh wow, that’s gross
The cutting edge is clearly visible.
I hurriedly lifted Isabella’s head and placed it on top of her severed neck and used the ‘Shape Restoration’ skill.
At the same time as her severed head was attached to her body, even her severed blonde hair grew back to the way she was when she was alive.
Isabella wakes up with the beauty of her life intact.
Finally, I made another one of the 5-star jobs mine.
I looked proudly at Isabella, who was standing there staring at me with blank eyes.
