Damn Necromancer Chapter 317

Chapter 317: Heavenly City (7)

dea's eyes narrowed.

It was right after regaining her heart.

The pulsation of power spreading to every corner of her body.

A sense of omnipotence felt for the first ti in hundreds of years.

She felt good.

Very good.

So she tried to be a little greedy.

'A Necromancer possessing divinity…….'

He was rare.

He looked delicious.

Even if she didn't eat him right now, she thought she could extort about one more wish if she pressured him just a little.

With things like telling her not to attack him, or asking her to spare him.

She exuded pressure.

A blood-red aura crushing the entirety of District 8.

A concentration where a trainee from the lower districts would find it hard to even breathe.

However, that guy did not avoid it.

He did not tremble either.

Rather, he faced it head-on while calling out his summons.

dea's brow furrowed minutely.

How many humans could maintain such an attitude in front of one of the Seven Lords?

dea's crimson pupils scanned Kim Minwoo.

Four Legion Commanders.

The horde of Dragon Tooth Soldiers.

And that look in his eyes.

'He is serious.'

It was eyes harboring the resolve to kill.

In front of one of the Seven Lords.

In front of herself, who had regained her heart and was nearing her pri.

It seed he would be tricky to deal with in this district range where she received a penalty.

Thinking so, dea reached out her hand.

The Blood Water Jade dyed blood-red floated in the empty air.

Tuk.

She threw it nonchalantly.

"Done. Take it. It's yours."

Kim Minwoo snatched the Blood Water Jade.

The red pattern engraved on the surface was pulsating like a heart.

"The first wish ends here."

dea turned her body.

She had sared her blood on it anyway.

The mont she engraved her power onto the Blood Water Jade, it ant an invisible string was connected.

She could touch it again anyti later if needed.

"What is the second wish?"

"I don't have one."

"……You don't?"

dea tilted her head.

Two wishes remaining.

Even if they were powerhouses from District 1, if such an opportunity ca, every single one of them would have their eyes sparkling.

"You won't make a wish?"

"It's not like I have to make it right now, right."

"……So? I am not free. Once I go up, there will be no reason to co down again."

"That doesn't matter since I just have to go up……. Won't you make a deal with ?"

dea smiled coldly.

It was interesting.

To propose a deal to one of the Seven Lords.

If it were an ordinary human, it was a remark they wouldn't even dare to speak.

"A deal must be balanced, by rule…… do you have the confidence to match the scales equally?"

"You'll know once you listen."

"The details?"

Kim Minwoo raised his finger and pointed at the sky.

"From what I hear, Red Flag and the Demonic Cult are having a go at each other…… go up to that neighborhood up there, and wreck the place for a bit."

"The price?"

dea asked with her arms crossed.

If a remark that didn't please her even a little ca out, she intended to just kill him, even if it ant enduring the annoyance.

"You, what are you looking for here?"

dea fell silent.

Silence was practically no different from agreent.

"You'll have to find that to return to the Eastern Witch Coven."

"……You've picked up a lot of things. Did Lady Ananke tell you that much?"

"I will help you find that."

"Do you even know what it is?"

"I can still help even if I don't know."

Tap.

Tap.

dea tapped her chin with her index finger.

Having pondered as if calculating sothing, she smiled softly.

"Good, I will make the deal."

"Since we're at it, please run around diligently."

"So that you will help diligently as well?"

Kim Minwoo shrugged his shoulders.

The crimson pupils scanned Kim Minwoo one last ti.

"Make a more interesting wish next ti."

A blood-red mist wrapped around her.

dea's form began to blur.

It was an instant.

As the presence of one of the Seven Lords completely disappeared, the pressure crushing District 8 lifted as well.

‘Looks like it worked out sohow.’

Kim Minwoo looked at the spot where dea had disappeared.

The reason he didn't make a wish was simple.

If he only received unilaterally, he would beco a pawn.

She would be the benefactor, and he the beggar.

In that mont, the scales would tip, and the initiative in the relationship would completely cross over.

But a deal was different.

A relationship where they exchanged what each other needed.

An equal standing.

‘Only then will the next wish work properly too.’

The remaining wishes had to be made after his value had risen in dea's mind.

Because she would listen more diligently and more certainly if he made the wish then.

‘Anyway, what is it that dea is looking for.’

Although he had heard the story from the Eastern Witch Coven, they hadn't told him exactly what dea was looking for.

If it's an item one of the Seven Lords is looking for, it must be an incredible treasure.

‘Seeing as she hasn't found it yet, the difficulty of retrieving it must also be extre.’

dea accepting this deal might have been for that very reason.

Because he was an unscratched lottery ticket.

A blue-chip stock with a certain future peak.

It might have been a kind of investnt mindset.

In fact, he had thrown the bet believing in that too.

He took out the Blood Water Jade he had obtained from dea.

[Blood Witch's Blood Water Jade]

[Grade: Special.]

[A round bead that traps blood.]

[Effect 1. Can absorb all types of blood.]

[Effect 2. Can create a new bloodline by combining different bloods.]

[Effect 3. Undead can be placed inside the Blood Jade, and ‘Special Mutation’ can be granted depending on the injected bloodline.]

〈Tip!〉

―Traces of the ‘Blood Witch’ remain in the Blood Water Jade.

―All undead enhanced through the Blood Water Jade can be sensed by dea.

The effects of the new Blood Water Jade had changed quite a bit.

First.

It beca able to absorb all blood.

No matter how high-ranking an existence, they would no longer be able to avoid the Blood Water Jade's absorption.

Second.

‘Bloodline, huh…….’

A unique ability called blood combination was created.

He decided to try utilizing this later.

The third effect was also unique.

To think he could grant special mutations depending on the bloodline by placing them in the Blood Jade.

‘I think I'll only get a feel for this if I try using it too?’

It definitely felt like it was properly upgraded.

However, there was a drawback as well.

That the locations of all undead enhanced in that way would be exposed to dea.

‘Well, there are bound to be pros and cons.’

It was too much of a waste to not enhance the undead just because he was scared of that.

Plus, it wasn't like the undead would be subordinated to dea just because they absorbed a little blood.

‘Because there's no way dea's power is stronger than the Death Lord's dominance.’

Just then.

Soone approached from far away.

Approaching Kim Minwoo cautiously, he bowed his head politely.

“It has been a while, Mr. Kim Minwoo. Have you been well?”

“Ah. Shadow District Head?”

“Yes. I am the District 8 Head.”

He wondered where he had seen him before.

He was the ssenger the Shadow side sent when delivering news.

“You managed to survive well?”

“Since we are the best at those kinds of abilities…….”

Speaking cautiously like that, he asked Kim Minwoo.

“By the way…… what on earth happened? From the Blood Witch descending here, to the fact that she approached you, Mr. Kim Minwoo. These are things we were not notified of in advance…….”

Smiling softly, Kim Minwoo asked back.

“Do I have to let you guys know everything I'm going to do one by one?”

“No, I did not an it like that. It's just that so of our guild mbers were sacrificed as well, so…….”

“I told dea, so that won't happen from now on.”

The District 8 Head's eyes shone.

‘It's top-secret information.’

The contact between dea and Kim Minwoo.

Even the massive wave of power that occurred afterwards.

Clearly, sothing unusual was happening.

For the Shadow Guild, which dealt with information, they absolutely had to find out the inside story of this matter.

“Seems like you have a lot of questions?”

“……To be honest, yes.”

“But the Shadow side doesn't act after letting know everything one by one either, do they.”

“That is a misunderstanding. Are we not in an alliance?”

“We are an alliance. On the surface.”

“……Um, by any chance. Was there sothing you were displeased with regarding our guild?”

The District Head asked cautiously.

Kim Minwoo.

Looking at districts, he was rely staying in District 8, but his level was a monster that couldn't dare be evaluated as such.

The District 4 Head Irokes, who ca down from up there.

And even Lee Seokjun, one of the famous martial artists of the Demonic Cult.

Because they had all turned into corpses after approaching him.

Level?

He couldn't dare say he was close to the Seven Lords, but at the very minimum, he was a monster capable of playing in District 1.

‘His future potential is…….’

To an astonishing degree.

If given a little more ti, he was a figure capable of coveting even the seat of the Seven Rulers.

Therefore, his attitude in treating him had no choice but to be extrely polite.

Seeing that, Kim Minwoo answered with a smirk.

“Sothing I'm displeased with? There is.”

“If you tell what it is, we will correct it as much as possible…….”

“dea will be going up. District 1 will beco noisy from now on.”

“……Excuse ?”

“I made a deal with her, you see. To go up and wreck the place for a bit.”

“……Excuse ? By wrecking the place, what exactly…….”

“The Demonic Cult and Red Flag. You said the two are fighting until they bleed?”

At those words, the Shadow District Head's face turned pale.

Having beco enemies with Red Flag, the Shadow Guild had chosen the Demonic Cult as their new sanctuary.

Since they didn't know when Kim Minwoo would co up to the upper districts, or what kind of accident he might suffer while coming up, they couldn't just give up all protection right away believing only in him.

This was a fact they had also notified Kim Minwoo about.

But, that guy just said that now.

‘Wreck the place’, he said.

If he was only going to crush the Red Flag side, there was no reason to say it like that.

The Blood Witch, dea, runs amok between the two?

It was a structure where the Shadow Guild, which had entrusted its protection to the Demonic Cult, would also inevitably be in an uproar.

“……Then it will be highly troubleso for us as well.”

“So?”

“…….”

The District Head's eyes turned cold.

However, Kim Minwoo's eyes were even colder.

As if he had anticipated this situation from the beginning.

“Lilith said it, didn't she. That the mont I set foot in District 8, I would be forced to choose either side. And that the result of that choice is irreversible.”

“……Yes.”

“Go and deliver my ssage. Now she too, will have to make a choice. The Demonic Cult, or .”

Kim Minwoo continued slowly.

The Blood Water Jade held in his hand pulsated red.

“Whose hand she should hold between the two.”
