EP.42 The Fateful Connection Reappears

The White Order of El Dorad Continent.

Aurel, the Cardinal of the Order, led the high priests down into the underground.

As they descended the stairs one by one, darkness swallowed every sense.

A chilling sensation from somewhere wrapped the air, making it shiver, and the silence of death descended like a heavy weight.

This feeling persisted for a while.

It was a silent descent as everyone proceeded down the stairs without uttering a word.

At the end of the underground they had arrived at, a massive iron gate stood.

Iron locks overlapped in front of the gate, made of layers of iron.

It was an unmistakably extraordinary space.

In front of the gate, inquisitors were standing guard.

Have you come, Cardinal.

As they nodded, Aurel raised his hand gently.

Youve always worked hard.

After the exchange of greetings, the inquisitors began to move in earnest.

Cardinal, we will now open the iron gate.

Upon the inquisitors words, a high priest behind Aurel shouted,

Everyone, imbue yourselves with divine power! Weakness will bring death. With the grace of the goddess, we shall advance fearlessly!

In the dim space, a feeble light burst forth, giving a warm feeling.

But that warmth was short-lived.

The inquisitors were gradually unlocking the seals of the iron gate.

The first lock was released.

Unknown sounds began to break the eerie silence.

The second lock was released.

With a hint of dampness, a rotten smell pricked the nostrils.

The third lock was released.

It felt as if time had stopped, reminding one of the absence of space in this place.

The fourth lock was released.

The scent of death lingered. For some reason, a sense of loneliness and helplessness crept in, stealing hope from the darkness.

Finally, as the last lock was released, the massive iron gate slowly opened.

Only darkness existed.

Simultaneously, this was death.

The scent of life completely vanished, and only the sensation of entering the embrace of death awakened the entire body.

Steel your hearts, everyone.

The Grand Vice Cardinal, Aurel, continued with his brief admonition, and soon everyone began to pass through the iron gate.

The interior was monotonous.

Various objects shaped like stones were arranged.

For the familiar priests, they walked with tension, swallowing their saliva, while newcomers curiously looked around and moved forward.

This was the most heavily guarded place in the Order.

It was a location where beings that once threatened the continent were sealed and monitored.

All the objects that looked like stones were sealing stones.

If even one broke, the consequences would be considerable.

As such, the Order put great effort into managing them.

After passing through the sealing stones, another iron gate appeared.

Unlike before, the size of this iron gate was not as large.

Priests following Aurel approached and began to open the gate.

The gate opened with a noisy sound.

Inside, there were unexpected entities.

Gasp!

The priest who saw them for the first time stood still, seemingly shocked.

Inside another iron gate were skeletons.

Not just ordinary skeletons.

In the corner, there were Death Knights.

Fortunately, an enormous amount of chains was tied around the Death Knights.

A knight who brings death!

Why were Death Knights here?

For a moment, Aurel, who had opened his mouth, spoke.

This creature, the Death Knight, appeared even before the Empress of Darkness Syllestra, a 7th-star being, as recorded.

The name, Death Knight, was known to everyone.

A very ancient creature that suddenly appeared in the distant past, trampling the continent.

At that time, neither the Order nor the nations had the power they have now.

They couldnt respond at all, so one Death Knight led to the terrible result of the destruction of an entire kingdom.

Of course, they sealed it by uniting everyone.

It was clearly recorded that way.

But look at it now.

It was definitely not a sealed appearance.

Aurel continued to speak.

This is because it is a means to approach our Orders goal.

He argued that it was a necessary experiment for the Order to gain more power.

Thats why they unsealed the Death Knight.

Unsealing them was not enough, the Order manages them.

To an outsider, Aurels words seemed close to the ideology of Idoism.

However, none of the inquisitors around him moved. Even the priests who knew about this place nodded casually, showing no concern. Only the priests who had come here for the first time today were momentarily confused. Their expressions seemed as if they had seen something they shouldnt have.

Entering one of those guilds would allow him to showcase his abilities and even engage in bullying. However, his capabilities were too lacking for him to act as a hunter in those guilds.

Becoming a government-affiliated hunter with power was an even more impossible task.

His available choices did not include small guilds from the beginning, and His pride did not allow it.

In the end, he chose to become a government-affiliated hunter.

At the current Awakener Center, the workload might be manageable, but it was safe, and, above all, he could engage in bullying.

Of course.

Oh my, youre a hunter affiliated with the Divine Guild. Please come this way!

He could only bully those lower in rank than himself.

Still, that alone meant something.

If he had joined a small guild, he would have been the one bowing his head.

Kang Jin-soo was satisfied with his current position.

By the way, is there anything interesting happening?

Once, his academy colleague, Lee Kang-hyun, had conducted magic testing here.

Without status windows, Lee Kang-hyun had always ranked at the bottom at the academy. Seeing him here, Kang Jin-soo felt a sense of superiority.

But then, out of nowhere, Lee Kang-hyun gained a status window.

He knew Lee Kang-hyun had been working as a porter. He never expected him to drop dead somewhere, let alone gain a status window.

Still, Kang Jin-soo didnt pay much attention. Just because someone got a status window didnt mean everyone became strong.

Crazy bastard. Getting a status window isnt the end.

If that were the case, everyone would be active as high-ranking hunters like B-ranks or A-ranks.

Kang Jin-soo scoffed.

Lee Kang-hyun, who gained a status window, received an F-rank during the magic test.

Graduates from the academy were automatically promoted to at least D-rank.

That meant acknowledging their four years of effort and recognizing them as high-level talent.

However, Lee Kang-hyun, who graduated from the academy, still had no status window, even after the magic test.

Isnt he just incredibly dumb?

What?

The junior next to Kang Jin-soo responded to his unintentional muttering.

Oh, it was just talking to myself.

After mumbling vaguely, he looked around.

Huh?

Kang Jin-soos expression showed surprise.

A familiar face had come to the center.

Isnt that Lee Kang-hyun?

Why is he here again?

It hadnt been long since the magic test.

But why?

Kang Jin-soo stared at Lee Kang-hyun.

Then he noticed one significant difference.

A skeleton?

A white skeleton!

And that skeleton was following Lee Kang-hyun.

Lee Kang-hyun was talking to other employees.

After a while, Lee Kang-hyun went outside the center again.

Kang Jin-soo was curious.

What on earth had happened?

Fortunately, Kang Jin-soo himself worked at the Awakener Center.

He immediately checked Lee Kang-hyuns information.

There, he found shocking words.

Lee Kang-hyun is a necromancer?

That was right; Lee Kang-hyun was a necromancer.

Although it was mentioned that he could only summon 1st-star skeletons, it was still a shocking ability.

It was undoubtedly an ability with no particular value, but Kang Jin-soo was shocked.

Lee Kang-hyun, who recently gained a status window, had become a necromancer.

How much time had passed since then?

Could he possibly catch up?

The scum he always thought would be behind him was now following closely behind.

Kang Jin-soo was anxious.

He couldnt accept falling behind that guy.

So, Kang Jin-soo made a choice.

He found Kim Soo-Hos contact in his smartphone and sent him a text.

The person who had tormented Lee Kang-hyun the most during their academy days was none other than Kim Soo-Ho.

Thats why Kang Jin-soo had expectations.

Surely, some reaction will come.

And indeed, shortly afterward, he received a message from Kim Soo-Ho.

As expected!

Kang Jin-soo chuckled maliciously.

Kim Soo-Ho, this guy isnt a gentleman either?

It was time to torment Lee Kang-hyun again.
