Chapter – 40

EP.40 Demon Sword and the Fake Necromancer (1)

In South Korea, the guild regarded as the best, the Sacred Guild. The Sacred Guild was renowned for possessing numerous top-tier hunters, creating such an image for themselves. Among these top-tier hunters, Kim Soo-ho couldn’t be overlooked.

Kim Soo-ho. An A-rank hunter, and his background was exceptional. He was the only son of the Sacred Guild’s guild master. But that wasn’t all.

He graduated as the top student, the golden ace of the 4th generation at the Hunter Academy. He had even visited the El Dorad Continent, which only a few hunters ventured into.

What was he like on the El Dorad continent? He received formal knighthood from the White Order, the sole order following the goddess.

All these factors intertwined, propelling Kim Soo-ho swiftly to his current position. If one were to ask who the most well-known hunter in the country was, Kim Soo-ho’s name would be the first to be mentioned.

‘Quite mundane.’

However, Kim Soo-ho, the person at the center of it all, found everything mundane. It was all too boring. Even now, the conversations around him were mundane.

“...Recently, the son of the Phoenix Guild’s leader hasn’t been seen at any official functions.”

A guild executives’ meeting. It wasn’t a particularly crucial meeting, so the guild master, his father, didn’t attend. Instead, Kim Soo-ho did, but the meeting was so dull that he felt like yawning.

“According to information sources, the leader’s son, Jung Woo-jin, attempted dungeon conquest and failed.”

It was dull. Why bother paying attention to the Phoenix Guild, who were beneath them? Especially when one of their attempts at dungeon conquest failed.

Kim Soo-ho didn’t like it, but outwardly, he showed an attentive demeanour.

Of course, his mind was elsewhere entirely.

‘Life was more fun at the academy.’

He had carefree times with close friends, and the academy instructors treated him well.

And.

‘It was so enjoyable tormenting Lee Kang-hyun.’

Seeing someone without a status window trying to survive was so absurdly amusing. He lived off the pleasure of watching him suffer in agony, even once breaking his arm and leg.

Of course, he felt no guilt. Would you feel guilty for accidentally stepping on an ant on the sidewalk?

To Kim Soo-ho, Lee Kang-hyun was exactly that, like ants littering the street.

‘I wonder what he’s up to these days.’

Lately, to alleviate his boredom, he occasionally killed people in dungeons. But even that was getting tiresome.

‘I should find something new to do.’

He had been busy with guild work, dungeon conquests, and various external activities for a while. So, he had forgotten about Lee Kang-hyun.

But the moment he thought about it again, it would be easy to find him. Because the hunter world was filled with fellow alumni. With just one phone call, he could easily find out about Lee Kang-hyun’s existence.

‘But for now, I need to focus on the meeting.’

The meeting was still ongoing. Kim Soo-ho refocused his attention away from his thoughts and back onto the discussion.

“According to the Phoenix Guild’s exec, there were succubus and incubi in the failed dungeon conquest.”

‘What? He faced such trivial creatures?’

Kim Soo-ho’s expression twisted.

Despite his expression, the meeting continued.

“The problem is the succubus. There’s only one, but we suspect it’s the dungeon’s master. And the grade is....”

The speaker paused momentarily.

After a sip of water, they continued with a stern expression.

“...Estimated to be S-rank.”

S-rank.

Everyone was shocked.

“Isn’t exaggerating too much? Didn’t they say the leader’s son returned alive?”

====

“Maru, let’s hurry home. Try making some ramen.”

One of the skeleton soldiers beside me nodded.

Although it was classified as F-grade, a 1-star monster on Earth, it had its uses, so I kept it with me. I even gave it a name ‘Maru.’

And now, I was on my way back from the Awakener Center. I had to visit there because if I wanted to keep a monster like Maru, I needed to report it. The result was successfully obtaining proof of being a Necromancer.

There was only one, and naturally, I couldn’t summon or dismiss it in front of the staff.

However, since Maru always listened to me so well, it was a bit ambiguous to deny it as my summoned creature.

‘It came from my smartphone, so it’s my summoned creature.’

In the end, I became a fake Necromancer and obtained official permission to carry Maru around. While taking Maru home,

My smartphone alarm went off.

Come to think of it, it also went off earlier. What could it be?

Checking the content, it was nothing serious. Just someone trespassing in the dungeon and me successfully preventing it.

“As expected, Celia does her job well.”

Maru beside me nodded in agreement with my words.

– The Apostle Celia wishes to offer a shadow as tribute to the Master. –

‘Shadow? What’s that?’

There was no explanation at all. Not something commonly known by people.

A brief moment of wonder, but it passed.

– Due to the significantly low level of the altar, offering the shadow is not possible. –

– Please upgrade the altar. –

Ugh.

That darn altar’s low level seems to be causing a lot of trouble.

I couldn’t even upgrade the altar, so all I could do was feel regretful.

“Doesn’t this make it meaningless?”

When feeling so regretful,

– Successfully defended the dungeon. –

– All subordinates successfully fulfilled their roles. –

– As an additional reward, time is reduced for the current offering. –

– The current offering includes the Demon Sword. –

– You can receive the Demon Sword immediately. –

– Would you like to receive the Demon Sword? –

An alert popped up saying I could receive the Demon Sword immediately, unlike waiting for days, if I decided to receive it now.

“This is it!”

Of course, I couldn’t receive it right away because I was outside.

“Let’s hurry home, Maru. I’ll show you something awesome.”
