Dungeon House 67

Dungeon House chapter 67

After granting Richard’s request, he left the tour behind and toured large cities in the United States to check the condition. As a result, all cities were flooded with ghosts at a similar level to Washington.

When taught this, Richard clasped his face again. And it started to get busier.

I moved on to prepare other things until the favor I had asked for Richard was finished. At the request of Richard in the middle, he often had to help with the demonstration, but the rest of the time was confined to preparation. I did not know that he would work in the White House against the president in the middle.

Ten days after I finally worked with the president, Richard called me.

“I’m sorry, but I’ll have to downscale the plan you’re talking about. He expressed various concerns about whether the demonstration worked too well for the high-ranking people.”

Richard, who called me, was the first thing he said to me. He said he was sorry, but for me, it was within the scope of my expectations. From the beginning, the request I made to Richard was a very large ■ task.

“Then to what extent is the scale down?”

“Everything has been prepared in a village in a sparsely populated area. Of course, I also confirmed the existence of the ghosts.”

“It’s the size of a village, not a city. First of all, it’s a naive scale. I knew. I’ll go right away.”

“Thank you for saying that. The helicopter is ready, so let’s go.”

Richard and I moved quickly by helicopter.

There were already many people waiting at the place Richard said. There were many facilities, and there were scientists. And the soldiers were controlling the surroundings.

I was focused on the eyes of the countless people around me. But I didn’t mind at all and headed in one direction.

It was the place where the magic circle was installed. To be precise, it was one of the six places where the magic circle was installed.

I walked around the six places where the magic circle was installed one by one while receiving the attention of others. One in the center and five around it. I checked how many times the magic circle was properly installed.

It is a large-scale ritual magic that I tried for the first time.

Although it was said that the scale was smaller than the original request, I had no choice but to check it several times because I did not know what would happen if it failed.

Have you finished checking?”

“Yes. It’s definitely been well done. I don’t think scientists or wizards have done anything wrong.”

“That’s good, so when do you plan to start? Everyone is waiting.”

“I plan to start around twilight.”

“It’s been a while. Then I get around

Do not limit yourself.”

“please.”

Richard gave orders to the guild members to protect the five magic circles outside. And I headed to the magic circle in the center of the village. There was no sound as the villagers had all fled.

“let’s begin.”

After contacting the walkie-talkie, I put the radio in my pocket and raised my mana.

Woo woo woo!

Thump Thump Thump!

In the subspace opened by Mana, his huge body appeared. Nidho He is located in the center of the magic circle.

“Nidhog. The opportunity has been prepared. Now it all depends on what you do.”

[thank you. master.]

“Then we begin.”

With those words, I injected mana into the magic circle. Then the light began to shine from the magic circle. And the light spread in five directions. After a while, five pillars of light soared up from the outskirts. The magic circle outside was also activated one after another.

■People People! 人人■ yourself!

Kikiki! Whoa! ha ha ha!

After the magic circle is activated, the surrounding temperature drops.

And the ghosts began to gather. Like bugs gathering in the light.

It’s not wrong. The large-scale ritual magic that is being manifested in the first place is magic that was created for that purpose.

The ghosts that flocked in an instant formed a group and began to sway in waves. The number of ghosts had already exceeded a thousand. The sight of countless ghosts running wild on their own was truly terrifying.

The only thing the ghosts were looking for was Nidhogg on the magic circle. Because of the effect on the magic circle, they will feel that Nidhogg is something they most want to have.

Kyaaaah! Gimme that body!

mine! That’s mine!

The ghosts rushed towards Nidhogg in unison.

The charge of the army of over a thousand ghosts! It was, of course, a threat to the Nid Horde as well. But the ghosts never reached us.

Woo woo woo! Paaah!

Kyaaaah! Aww!

The attacking ghosts were blocked by an invisible curtain. It wasn’t just a blockage. Like an insect attached to a sticky note, I couldn’t get out of the membrane even though I struggled. The colors of the ghosts attached to the curtain gradually became lighter.

The reason was simple. It was because the power to compose the body was being deprived of negative mana.

There are three effects of the large-scale ritual magic that is being manifested now.

First, it attracts and attracts undead including ghosts.

Second, the power from the undead who drew it in. Absorbs negative mana.

Third, the negative mana absorbed in that way is purified to some extent and injected into the person in the center.

Originally, this large-scale ritual magic was an expedient magic used by necromancers who were stagnant because they could not cross the wall to forcibly cross the border.

Obviously, the Necromancer is strong. Along with powerful attack magic, he possesses defense magic that can protect himself. You can curse the enemy to weaken it, and conversely, you can protect yourself from the curse. Summoning hundreds of undead and being able to wage war by operating a corps alone is a great thing.

Even such a Necromancer has weaknesses.

One is that it is weak in close combat like a normal mage.

The other is that you’re always running out of mana.

Necromancers are extremely strong and versatile, so their mana consumption is intense. In particular, if you maintain the summoned undead as a corps unit and continue the battle, as an individual, you will not be able to afford the mana.

The magic for such a necromancer is the magic that extracts mana from the corpse, drain negative mana. However, it is only a first aid measure that can be given during battle.

So, the Necromancers came up with various methods.

A typical example is collecting negative mana in a magic item you have created, or developing a magic item that reduces mana consumption when casting magic.

But in the end, he comes to the conclusion that he needs to increase his maximum mana. And the best way to increase mana is to go beyond the current level and move on to the next level.

It’s easy to say, but it’s actually very difficult. In order to reach the next level, special enlightenment is required, and since it is infinitely vague until that moment arrives, you may not be able to attain enlightenment even if you go on for the rest of your life.

And if it doesn’t work in a standard way, it’s the magician who wants to use it as an unethical, apostolic method.

That’s how it was developed, the large-scale ritual magic that is now manifesting.

The mana most familiar to the necromancer, negative mana is extracted from the drawn undead, and then injected into himself, which is an expedient to create a circle forcibly and reach a higher state.

Negative mana is the mana of the dead. It is, of course, fatal to the living. So, at first, many people died and became undead.

However, as time went on, it was continuously improved and there were finally success stories, so it was handed down as a last resort for necromancers.

However, because of this anecdote, the image of the Necromancer is said to have become the commonly known image of the present.

To quickly become strong, attack the village and kill the villagers, collect the corpses, and turn them into undead to get mana through magic. It was only natural that an evil image was hardened by doing such a thing.

I improved the magic circle a bit and was using it as a target for Nee Hog. In order to inject the mana stolen from the original Ramen, it must be purified to some extent through continuous circulation.

However, this time, the hop-on being was the undead Nidhogg, so the third function, the negative mana purification part, was boldly excluded. Instead, I increased the Temptation’s range and absorption rate, and added one effect.

It was to allow the being in the center of the magic circle whether to absorb the undead or not.

people people people!

Some of the ghosts who had been absorbed by the magic circle were sucked into Nidhogg. Nidhogg absorbed the very existence of the ghosts.

QQ is

As Nidhogg began to absorb the ghosts, a gray color resembling the ghosts began to drift over the bony body of Nidhogg.

Gradually, the speed of absorbing the ghosts began to accelerate. As a result, Nidhogg’s body began to take on a gray color, as if flesh had been attached to the bones.

Of course, the presence of Nidhogg began to grow that much. It was because Nidhogg was getting stronger by hunting ghosts.

“Nidhog. Do you want to increase the volume only?”

My words slowed down Nidhogg’s absorption of the ghosts.

As I just said, Need Hog has definitely gotten stronger in my opinion, but to the extent that

He just looked like he had grown in size.

The state of Nidhogg, as I understood it, was in a state in which the surrounding pieces were gathered and put together at random to increase in size, and in a state that could be easily destroyed.

people people people people people people people people people. Kyaaaaah! keey.

Nidhogg didn’t absorb the ghosts any more, apparently he understood what I meant. Rather, it began to emit the ghosts it had absorbed.

The gray energy that had settled on the skeleton had faded. But another change has occurred. The gray energy is not located outside, but inside the bone, precisely inside the ribs.

I don’t know because they’re still pale, but to me they looked like a heart. But it was also for a while, and soon it was hops to the bone.

“Nidhog. thoughts are good But don’t be greedy. Just focus on absorbing the power.”

Once again, Nidho, who accepted my advice, focused only on absorbing his power. Rather than trying to form a heart inside the organ, Nidhogg’s bones, which concentrated only on absorption, gradually turned a dark gray color.

There have been no significant changes since then. Nidhogg was still concentrating on collecting the negative mana he had drawn from the ghosts.

In the meantime, I looked at something else. It was the ghosts who had absorbed the negative mana.

The ghosts that had absorbed the negative mana literally disappeared. But it didn’t look like annihilation.

Am I wrong? Or maybe it was an illusion, but at the last moment, the ghosts seemed to have a very comfortable expression on their faces.

As time passed, there were ghosts who tried to escape as if they had grasped the situation. However, in the beginning, the five magic circles outside had the effect of forming a barrier to prevent the ghosts from escaping, and in the end, not a single ghost could escape.

After about an hour, the magic circle stopped shining.

And all the more than a thousand ghosts disappeared, leaving only Nidhogg, whose skull and neck bones were dyed gray, in the center of the village.

I used the dungeon app for a long time against Nidhogg to check the level and stats. And I couldn’t help but be surprised.

[Needhog Lvl34235

Race: Skeleton Dragon (mutated)

Strength:181359 Agility:56279 Durability

Power:215391

Magic:179(+150)351(+150) Dexterity Note:91169

Remaining points:1331

As much as he had a huge size, his strength and durability were outstanding, and his agility was very low. In addition to that, even if it was a skeleton, it had a very high mana like a similar dragon.

I wasn’t really surprised by that. I was surprised for three reasons.

First of all, this is because Nid Hog’s ability has greatly increased compared to when it was confirmed before.

strength and durability. The last time I checked the horsepower, it was the durability that went up the least, but even that durability had risen by 57. In the case of strength, 63, and in the case of horsepower, it rose the most, and it was 87 at once.

The second reason I was surprised was that the limit of the ability was increased at the same time. Although Nidhogg originally had a high growth limit for his stats, his growth limit was raised by at least 15 to 31 for each stat.

The third reason was that the word mutant was clearly added to the race name. The Skeleton Dragon, Nidhogg, was changing into another being, no, it was mutating.

[thank you. master.]

Nidhogg, who came to his senses while I was checking his stats, said to me with a happy voice.

“At the end of the day, it worked for me. As you get stronger, so does my power. And stop trying to make a heart out of energy alone. It should be possible if you put in the effort, but it is simpler and more stable to use a decent object as the nucleus. I didn’t say this to surprise you, but I’m already negotiating with Richard to find the gem you’ll use as a nuke.”

The request I made to Richard was an attempt at a large-scale ritual magic that I used this time. And it was a wanted gem to use as the nucleus of the Undead I was working on. Except for Chris, who has already decided to use Moonstone as a nuclear weapon, Castle and Kai. And I needed Nidhogg’s.

This was one of the prices I was willing to accept in exchange for helping America. The price of jewels will be considerable, but the United States is a heavenly country that spends thousands of dollars on defense alone. So I bid a lot for the price, and they gladly accepted my request.

Two gems have already been found. And he said that he is currently negotiating a deal.

“So. Wait a little longer.” [thank you! master!]

Nidhogg was overjoyed at my words. The ceremony ended successfully. And the effectiveness of large-scale ritual magic was also proven. It means that all the ghosts in the vicinity have been eliminated. As a result, it was a win-win for me and the United States.

Now the next thing to do was to do ritual magic in a big city rather than a village.

While I was thinking that, Richard got in his car and showed up where I was. But he wasn’t alone.

Next to Richard were two men and women in Catholic bridal and nuns clothes.
