Ruler of the Game 775

Chapter 775 – Guardian of the Dungeon

『I remember that the great warrior was quite amused when he got on my back a while ago. In that sense, how about I create a summoned beast using my essence, heart, and bones?』

The dracolich offers to make Seong-il a Bone Dragon, a masterpiece that can only be made once in a lifetime. He explains that the Bone Dragon, which is created based on all of his essence, will be able to think to some extent, unlike ordinary undead, and will be a being with great strength and magical powers.

『Not only that, but I will also mix the elixir and your split soul with the dragon and put your own brand on it!! If so, that family will not only become stronger, but will also gain immortality as long as you don’t die!”

Dracolich desperately pours out all kinds of unconventional proposals to Seong-il in order to seize the last chance he can get. He even says that he will make it in the form of a small decorative item so that the undead family can be stored in the inventory on holy days.

“Well… I think it’s fine. But what does it mean to serve for me?”

Even if he listened roughly, it was not a condition that would harm himself, so Seong-il starts pouring out questions to the Dracolich with a tempting expression. Richie strongly emphasizes to Seong-il that he can play the role of ‘professor’ just like the person from Mythology Academy.

『Because I am tired of the long war, I can no longer fight alongside you. If that’s the case, it’s enough to just turn to the god of the moon again. However, resting here, studying magic, and taking care of your students is a different story.”

“Oh…? You mean?”

『That’s right! I am also an expert in magic. If you’re reluctant to pass on your dark necromancy to your students, I’ll just teach you plain magic. That much I can teach you as well. Not only that, but as a combat instructor, I can take pride in being quite useful.”

Dracolich strongly appeals to the students that they can go through high-level mock combat training by using the undead family they created. He says that as much as he has been on the battlefield for almost an eternity, he can use that experience to give students various simulated combat experiences.

『Of course, we can push students into our world, let them go through actual battles, and make them devote themselves to training. However, you must remember that beings who are once defeated there cannot re-enter for a month, right?』

“Oh, I know.”

“Are you going to make fun of the students then? Or just a theory class? That’s not it.”

“Like…”

As the dracolich sharply digs into the blind spot of the training facility, Seong-il feels persuaded by his plausible words. When he seems quite interested in it, Dracolich says that he will regularly participate in general lectures and share his knowledge with the students. In addition, he says that if followers like Ira and Yuna need an experiment assistant, he will do his best to help them with their research.

“Okay! Let’s do it.”

『Good. Then let me swear Call the initiates』

The dracolich gritted its teeth and acted as if it were risking everything to proceed with the oath. Since he behaves earnestly, he does not even think of procrastinating his holy day, and he descends Widgrassil, the most powerful of his minions, and the goddess of harvest.

『You should swear in front of a divine being. I swear by my true name, ‘Irakorn’!! As long as he is helped by the great goddess and the apostle Han Seong-il of Eden, he will not be harmed in any way…]

Dracolachi spits long rhetoric and begins to recite vows in front of holy days and goddesses. In his short time, Seong-il tries to figure out whether he is playing a pun by putting all his sensitivity and precise analysis of nanomachines into full play.

“…That’s a really good oath.”

Even with Ruchel, an expert in the field, by her side. Therefore, Seong-il was able to be sure that no disadvantage would come to him thanks to thorough preparations.

『Huuu… I made an oath this strong and long, so you will believe it too, right?』

“Sure.”

Haha!! Thank you. I would like to ask you to use the elixir for one time on this date next month.”

After completing the contract with Irakorn, Seong-il decides to provide a site for him to live. He was worried that fraud would have a good effect on the crops and Weedgrassyl, but surprisingly, the Draco Rich and Weedgrassyl seemed to be no problem.

“It will be fine. If it’s that great of a sacred tree, it won’t be affected in the slightest by my morale.”

“That’s right! It is true that fraud has a negative effect on living things… But at my level, that level of fraud is really no big deal.”

Withgrasil tells him that if he is at his level, the level of morale that the Dracolich sows is just the level of compost, and that he can use that power appropriately to transform it into his own power.

After Weed Grassil talked so confidently, Seongil, relieved, nodded his head and appropriately created a rare for Irakorn near the root of Weed Grassil.

“Ah! Can you share some G.E.C.R for me?”

“…G.E.C.R?”

“Exactly. If there is an attendant for me, we will be comfortable with each other.”

Seong-il is slightly taken aback by Irakorn’s words to share his servants with Jus, who is a master of necromancy, and asks why. In response to such a question, Irakorn smiled and explained the reason.

『I don’t think they’ll really like it if you let the undead roam where normal people live, right? There’s no problem with the undead roaming around in my nest, but it’s not in your city.”

“Ah… Well… That’s right.”

Apparently, G.E.C.R is needed for repairs outside the nest or errands. In addition, even if it is not the mission, Seong-il decides to assign quite a lot of G.E.C.R.

“A heat will suffice.”

Since Irakorn himself is a powerful necromancer, he can supply as many minions as he wants, so Seongil allocates about 10 G.E.C.Rs for Irakorn. Seong-il, who has finished the housing issue, approaches Ruchel and thanks him.

“Thank you, Mr. Ruchel. Thanks to you, I was able to solve the troublesome problem.”

“Haha! Well, it was also profitable for me. Iracorn-nim seemed to be in a good mood, and he decided to pass on some visions for me in addition to the trade reward.”

“Hmm? Aren’t you going right away?”

Knowing the personality of Ruchel, who always ran around the world for the peace of her world, Seong-il asked with a surprised expression. To Seongil’s question, Lucille answers him with a puzzled expression.

“Haha… I also want to take a break after a long time. As you know, our world has frequent accidents, right?”

“That’s right.”

“Since time in our world has stopped, I think we should take a break for a month or two. Can’t we?”

“Oh, it doesn’t matter.”

Seong-il, who had no intention of returning to reality for the time being and had no intention of bringing in the Mythology faculty until the students had enough rest and tidying up, decided to use the pineapple house in the dimension for Dracolich and Ruchel.

‘Well… About a month or two…’

It’s not like Ruchel will always be here, and the time he takes a break after receiving the vision is likely to be a month or two at the most, so Seong-il doesn’t seem to have any particular burden.

‘Wait… Then, shall we take advantage of this opportunity to get some help in building a lighthouse for souls?’

Since Lucille is as well-versed in the power of the soul as the Dracolich, Seong-il decides to use the time he remains here to build a lighthouse for the soul. Seong-il even flipped a coin for that situation. When the affirmative answer comes up, he musters up the courage to tell him about the Soul Lighthouse.

“Whoa… You really want to try that?”

“Yes. I still have two elixirs left anyway. I want to get some help while Mr. Ruchel remains…”

“We can help with that much!”

Anyone else would have stopped trying to build a lighthouse for souls, but the existence in front of them was a mighty demigod. Because of this, Ruchel says she will help him cast the vision rather than stopping him.

“Iraqorn-nim will be with you as you are doing.”

“However much. It must be fun.”

Naturally, upon hearing the story of the two, the Dracolich Irakorn is very interested and says that he will help Seong-il build the soul lighthouse. So, Seong-il starts preparing again to cast the newly acquired vision.
