nKill The Hero – Chapter 254 – Knight of Death (3)

nThe Messiah Guild emphasized one fact for Cho Sung-woo when he was told to take part in the Saviour Guild’s dungeon attack.

n“Never interfere with the Saviour Guild’s actions.”

nIn truth, this was something that didn’t even need to be emphasized since it was common sense.

nAfter all, nothing good would come from provoking or interfering with the Saviour Guild.

nFor example, let’s say they fought against the Saviour Guild and won. Would it still be possible for them to clear the A rank 7 Floor dungeon without the Saviour Guild?

nIn this situation, they’d already paid a considerable price in order to take part in this ‘trip’.

nSince that was the case, wouldn’t it be more profitable for them if the ship safely reached its destination?

n

n

nNevertheless, the reason they gave such simple advice was simple.

n“I’m saying this because I know Cho Sung-woo’s personality. Don’t push yourself too much.”

nCho Sung-woo had a very competitive spirit.

nIt wasn’t just him.

nIn fact, it was natural for the players who ranked at the top of the world to have very competitive spirits.

nTherefore, Cho Sung-woo’s temperament wasn’t unique.

nOf course, the reason that Cho Sung-woo had been able to survive for so long and even managed to become a key player in the Messiah Guild was because he was not foolish enough to lose his reason because of his competitive spirit.

nTherefore, he was only looking for an opportunity inwardly.

n‘If Isaac Ivanov doesn’t turn out to be as amazing as they say, it wouldn’t be too bad to compete a bit.’

nAn opportunity to measure his skills with Isaac Ivanov.

nThere were many ways to do this.

nHe could hunt more monsters that Isaac Ivanov, or monsters stronger than what Isaac Ivanov hunted.

nThere was no need for the players to actually fight each other.

nHowever, these inner thoughts didn’t last for very long.

nThe first floor!

nOn this stage where they had to hunt 100,000 Guardians, Isaac Ivanov showcased a very ridiculous performance.

nThe thoughts that he had been thinking never came out, but that didn’t mean that they had disappeared either, Cho Sung-woo went up to the second floor with an even stronger fighting spirit burning lightly within him.

nSurvive for 10 days to proceed to the next floor.

nThen the attack on the second floor began.

nNo matter how one looked at it, this was a stage where one had to minimize the number of battles they had and save their power.

nYet, it was on this stage that Isaac Ivanov said.

n“Now I can hunt monsters as much as I want.”

nThat he was going to continuously slaughter for the ten days.

nThen Isaac Ivanov immediately made his words a reality.

nRattle!

nThe Skeleton Soldiers, which had already stacked the effect of Ruler of the Battlefield on the first floor and were equipped with weapons made from the bones of corpses that were covered in blood poison, continued their relentless slaughter under the command of the Lich.

nIt wasn’t just the Skeleton Soldiers either.

nThe momentum of the Saviour Guild’s members was also different from the others.

n“The warm up on the first floor is over, it’s time to pick up the pace from the second floor.”

n“Follow Isaac Ivanov!”

n“This is a great opportunity to level up!”

nThat was because the attack on the first floor, which had taken just three days, had really fired them up.

nWhen faced with such a scene, the other five guilds in the dungeon were completely dumbfounded.

nThen they all collectively released a sigh of relief at the fact that they didn’t have to fight against the Saviour Guild.

n“Oh my God.”

nOn the other hand, Cho Sung-woo from the Messiah Guild, which was the Saviour Guild’s competitor, could not accept what he was seeing.

n‘This is far beyond what we imagined.’

nIt was at that moment that the fighting spirit that burned inside was thoroughly trampled upon and shattered.

nAnd this was exactly what Kim Woo-jin had been aiming for.

n‘Their gazes are more comfortable now.’

nThe reason Kim Woo-jin had invited others to attack the dungeon with them wasn’t just because he wanted the participation fees.

nThe real goal was to showcase the Saviour Guild’s power to the other top class guilds in the world.

nThis was a natural move.

nNo matter how much of an opponent the Saviour Guild was for the Messiah Guild, the world would always consider the Messiah Guild to be far superior.

nFirst of all, their scales were different.

nCompared to the number of players who were gathered under the banner of the Messiah Guild, as well as the number of sponsoring companies and the size of their sponsorships, the Saviour Guild was only a mid-sized company at best.

nTherefore, Kim Woo-jin intended to win the game not by the scale, but by the sharpness of their blade’s edge.

nHe would show that they had many more blades than the Messiah Guild.

nAnd that the sharpness of any one blade would be equal to the best blades in the Messiah Guild.

nSo he’d set this stage in order to show those who held the most power in the current era.

n‘I need to drive it in a little more.’

nBecause that was his goal, he needed something more concrete.

n‘To place my name beside Lee Se-jun’s.’

nSo that the name Isaac Ivanov would then be compared to the name that no one dared to be compared to before.

n‘I’ll reveal that power here.’

nAnd soon, that time came.

nYour level has increased.

nYou have reached level 200.

nOn the fifth day after entering the second floor of the dungeon, a second floor that was absolutely littered by Guardian corpses, Kim Woo-jin finally leveled up for the 199th time.

nDeath Knight!

nAnd he gained the qualifications to finally summon the Death Knight.

nKim Woo-jin immediately opened his inventory, and his eyes immediately fell upon a golden skill page that stood out from everything else.

nThen he received a notification from his halo.

nThe Emissary of the Underworld admires your amazing growth.

nThe Emissary of the Underworld has sent you an amazing gift.

nA new item has been added to your inventory.

nThen Kim Woo-jin’s eyes were drawn to the new item that appeared in his inventory

n‘Anubis Descent.’

nIt was a skill page that shined with an obsidian light.

n…

n“Huh?’

nThey were currently engaged in a fierce battle with the Guardians.

nIt was Lee Jin-ah who first noticed the change in Kim Woo-jin, who was currently wearing the Isaac Ivanov mask.

n‘He.’

nKim Woo-jin was the type of person who would not arbitrarily pay attention to other things in the midst of battle.

nBut now it was this same Kim Woo-jin who was currently looking at something else.

nThis meant that it was something out of the ordinary.

nIt wasn’t hard to guess what it could be.

n‘He leveled up!’

nA level up.

nNaturally, he wasn’t so excited for a simple level up.

n‘Can he use the Death Knight now?’

nThe Death Knight!

nKim Woo-jin’s level up meant that he would be able to bring that terrifyingly ridiculous monster into the world.

nGulp!

nLee Jin-ah couldn’t help but gulp upon realising this fact.

n‘This monster will get another monster…’

nKim Woo-jin’s skeleton army had already reached a point where it completely defied common sense.

nBut now he was going to add an even more terrifying monster to that group?

nIt was like adding more to something that already went beyond one’s imagination.

nLee Jin-ah couldn’t even guess what the outcome of such a thing would be.

n‘He moved.’

nAnd in this situation, Kim Woo-jin finally made a move.

nAs he beckoned, the shadows around him began to climb up his body before taking shape around Kim Woo-jin.

n‘Dog?’

nThe shadows on Kim Woo-jin’s head eventually formed into a dog shaped mask.

nLee Jin-ah tilted his head when he saw this.

n‘This is different to the Death Knight that I imagined.’

nIt was then.

nWhile Lee Jin-ah was shaking his head because he’d pictured the Death Knight to be a giant majestic skeleton riding a horse.

nThe others on the battlefield took notice of the changes that had occurred to Kim Woo-jin.

nAnubis has descended.

nThen they received a never before seen notification.

n“Anubis?”

n“As in the Egyptian God Anubis?”

nThis notification caused a stir and naturally, the eyes of all the players settled onto Kim Woo-jin’s figure.

nUnder that attention, Kim Woo-jin turned to look at an Ogre Guardian.

nIt was a creature that was already covered in numerous wounds from the battle.

nIt wasn’t just wounded either. In fact, it was already fatally wounded. Its injuries were so severe that even the Ogre’s resilience could do nothing to prevent its death.

nFurthermore, to have such injuries on Kim Woo-jin’s blood poison filled stage was no better than having a pre-signed death warrant.

nRoar!

nNevertheless, the Ogre still continued to squeeze out all of its power to continue fighting.

nIt burned its will to fight until it died.

nAnubis weighs the Ogre Guardian’s death.

nThen a silver scale appeared above the Ogre Guardian’s head.

nThe Ogre Guardian has less than 10% of its health remaining.

nThud!

nSoon afterwards, as soon as the scale became balanced in the middle, the Ogre Guardian collapsed like a puppet that got its strings cut.

nThis monster that was fighting fiercely just a moment ago had died without a sound.

n‘What just happened?’

nWhile everyone was being shocked by this fact, Kim Woo-jin received another notification.

nAnubis guided the Ogre Guardian to death.

nIt was the moment when the God of Death, Anubis, had descended.

n…

nAnubis.

nThe god from Egyptian mythology who weighed the souls of the dead and judged their sins.

nThe Anubis Descent skill that Kim Woo-jin gained was a skill that allowed him to welcome this god into his body.

nYour magic power is being consumed quickly.

nYou have 30 percent of your magic power left.

nThe requirements for the summoning was a ridiculous amount of magic power.

nThe power that the user gained in return for their magic power was simple.

nIt was the ability to kill any being that had less than 10 percent of their health remaining instantly.

n‘What a terrifying ability.’

nIt was truly a tremendous ability.

nThis was different from simply removing 10 percent of someone’s health.

n‘This power is more terrifying than I expected.’

nBy nature, the most dangerous moment was that moment just before a living creature was about to die.

nMost creatures would do anything they could to survive, or at least to not die alone.

nKim Woo-jin knew this fact better than anyone.

nThat was why the Skeletons who took after him never forgot to ensure all of their enemies were dead after every battle.

nBeings who were on the verge of death were usually the most dangerous.

nBut with the power of Anubis, he would be able to prevent that final attack.

n‘I really gained an amazing power.’

nThat was why Kim Woo-jin was so filled with admiration and surprise.

nIt wasn’t just that.

nAs soon as Anubis descended, a notification was sent to all of the players around him, and they soon saw Kim Woo-jin… no they saw Isaac Ivanov use Anubis’ power.

n‘Is that really an instant death skill?’

nAnd they quickly realised how ridiculous and terrifying an ability it was.

n‘The condition… it seems to only work on monsters that are in a near death state.’

n‘It shouldn’t be an unconditional instantaneous death. When he used his skill on the Ogre, it was already almost dead.’

nThey also knew that there would be necessary conditions in order to use such a power, but this didn’t comfort anyway.

nIn other words, it meant that anything that was in a near death state would soon die in front of Isaac Ivanov.

n‘This means that we can’t allow ourselves to get severely injured in front of Isaac Ivanov.’

n‘We can’t fight to the limit against Isaac Ivanov.’

nThere was nothing more terrifying for the players who would often push themselves to the limit in fights since they knew that they could be saved as long as they didn’t directly die.

nIn other words, the lethality of Isaac Ivanov’s new skill was something that only the top players could truly feel.

nAnd the fear that this fact created caused the atmosphere in the group to become exceedingly cold.

nThey once again looked at Isaac Ivanov, who brought fear that went beyond common sense.

nAnubis is leaving you.

nYou have 1440 minutes before you can use the skill again. (TL: 24hrs)

nThen Kim Woo-jin released the Anubis Descent in front of them.

nHe took off the black dog mask which then returned to the shadows.

n

n

nOnly then did the atmosphere in the surroundings lighten up a little.

nSummoned the Book of the Dead.

nIt was in this lighter atmosphere that Kim Woo-jin then summoned the Book of the Dead.

nThe page that he took out was the only one that remained in the book.

nSummoned a Skeleton Knight.

nA Skeleton Knight appeared.

nA Skeleton covered in the Nemean Lion’s skin, with the Aegis Shield in its left hand, and Mjolnir in its right.

n‘It’s time to make the Death Knight.’

nIt was the moment when the real ace that Kim Woo-jin had prepared, the Death Knight, was about to make its appearance.
