Awesome Shut-In Necromancer

---

“Materialization.”

The page unfolding is Chapter 44.

And contained within it is the right hand of the legendary demon Volkenus.

Having materialized it, I pulled out one of the temporarily stored corpses of an American S Rank Hunter and began the summoning ritual.

“Undead call.”

Whoosh.

As the spell neared completion, Volkenus’s right hand and the corpse ignited together, forming a massive flame.

Eventually, the manifested Volkenus revealed his bright blue eyes through the flames and gazed at Kelsipheed and the godly subordinate he summoned.

[How rude of something so unworthy to offend the great Lord of Death.]

As Volkenus nodded, the newly revealed sea monster-like subordinate immediately caught fire.

Whoosh!

Sizzle!

Kieeeek─!

The flames clung to its entire body and showed no sign of extinguishing, while the subordinate let out painful screams and incessantly attacked, but it couldn’t exert any power before the flame barrier created by Volkenus.

[I’ve lowered my strength, so you won’t die easily. Let your soul burn in regret while you struggle.]

Truly an arrogant personality, but Volkenus possesses power to match it.

It makes sense.

Volkenus is one of the conquerors of Planet Thebes, against whom I too can use the Seal of the Underworld.

Of course, he later swore loyalty upon being impressed by my power, but that skill didn’t just vanish into thin air.

“W-what is this…?”

As Kelsipheed realized that his strongest summoned subordinate had no power and was collapsing, his pale skin distorted in panic.

His arms and legs, which had been overflowing with confidence, were now trembling with fear.

He, too, was a strong individual who wouldn’t back down anywhere, so he immediately recognized the power possessed by Volkenus.

“This is impossible! How can a mere corpse magician have such a powerful being under his command…!”

Kelsipheed shouted, denying the situation before him, but nothing changed by doing so.

I found myself looking at him with an expression full of annoyance.

“You should have been a bit more cautious. As promised, I’ll burn you exactly ten times.”

As I waved my finger, Volkenus silently conjured flames in the air again.

Kelsipheed, startled, hurriedly tried to escape via various spells, but it was futile.

Eventually, he too was engulfed in immense flames filled with magical power, unable to put up any resistance and began to burn.

Whoosh!

“Gahhh!”

About five minutes passed, and before me, nothing remained. Just the ashes scattered like dust.

“Good job.”

[No need for thanks. I merely did what needed to be done.]

After glancing at me, Volkenus spoke with a puzzled expression.

[It seems my power is still restrained.]

“Sort of, yeah.”

[There’s an unpleasant smell. Is there a way to release it?]

“I’ll figure something out soon.”

After our brief conversation, Volkenus vanished, leaving only his right arm within the Book of Death.

Thanks to partially releasing my power seal, I could summon him, but in this state, he’s quite a burdensome summon.

“…Ugh. Looks like I’ll be lying around at home for another week.”

I hadn’t planned to use necromancy, but things had gone awry.

If Hades moves during this time, it would surely become quite a headache.

However, what’s done is done, and I stopped thinking and moved to where the evacuated civilians had gathered.

There, Xavier and Yesiel had already arrived and were talking to the civilians.

“I was planning to track them down after hearing the conversation. Is anyone hurt?”

“We won, so no worries.”

“Impressive. I didn’t directly meet the main body, but that was quite a formidable enemy.”

Ignoring Xavier’s admiration, I quickly gestured and pointed to one side of the dungeon.

That was the direction where the escape gate had appeared.

“So, the corridor where the altar was really turned out to be the Boss Room.”

“Wow, I guess dungeons are becoming more cunning as time goes on.”

Having used necromancy, I needed to exit the dungeon before I lost all my power.

Gathering everyone, we moved towards the gate and finally came out.

Click!

Click click!

“We’re out!”

“Xavier! The Seven Stars Xavier of Italy!”

As I overlooked the reporters and flashing cameras surrounding us, I let out a quiet sigh.

For the next week, as my powers would fade, I prayed that Hades wouldn’t make an appearance.

At the moment Baek Eun Ha was escaping from the S4 Rank Small Dungeon, three figures were moving chaotically in a hidden place deep within Planet Thebes.

“I brought everything. Can you send it with this?”

“…Well, it is possible, but the second round might be a little tricky.”

“Huh? Why is this half-assed goddess talking nonsense again? Do I need to give you another round to knock some sense into you?”

“Seriously! It was something that shouldn’t have been done in the first place. I’m only doing this because it’s you two.”

That was a lie. After having faced the two once last time, Serejia was sure they had surpassed her level.

‘How did they grow so much at such a young age…’

Showing growth comparable to that of legendary heroes, the two were Astrid Luminion and Henesia Roben.

They had been called the youngest Sword Master and Tower Lord, but they had now reached a level bordering on transcendence.

No matter how talented they were, it was almost impossible under normal circumstances.

‘If I were to find a reason, it would probably be…’

Baek Eun Ha.

It was undoubtedly the influence of the man who had once been with them.

Having previously sent Baek Eun Ha back to Earth, the demigod Serejia acknowledged that there was no other way and promised cooperation.

To be honest, since she’d already successfully researched it once, it wouldn’t be too hard if the necessary materials were available.

‘Of course, finding those materials isn’t easy…’

The two searched the world to find divine artifacts that would power the dimension-transference magic circle against Serejia’s words, which seemed to be dragging on.

Serejia was quite surprised by that fact as well.

“Phew. Alright. But you do understand that I can’t be responsible for what happens afterward, right?”

“Yeah. That’s enough.”

“Enough chit-chat. Let’s get things moving, the teacher must be waiting.”

“Knowing his personality, he probably isn’t even concerned…”

Grumbling unnecessarily, Serejia eventually turned her head away from their piercing gazes.

Given that things had escalated this far, it would be better to cooperate actively and swiftly dismiss these uncertainties from Thebes.

Thus, two days later, two heroes vanished from Planet Thebes.

Strangely enough, no one was present to confirm their last whereabouts.

After clearing the S4 Rank Dungeon, Korea once again found itself in the spotlight worldwide and was shaken greatly.

[Hunter Baek Eun Ha clears S4 Rank Dungeon with a three-person party!]

[The Seven Stars Xavier, who made an official appearance after two years, will stay in Korea for a while longer.]

[What is the relationship between Saintess Yesiel and Necromancer Baek Eun Ha?]

It wasn’t particularly strange.

No matter how small the S4 Dungeon was, an S Rank is still an S Rank.

The fact that it was cleared by three people was practically unprecedented.

– Of course, the Seven Stars are different.

– They’ve been unheard of for so long, but their level is simply on another scale.

– Damn. Where were these guys when people were in danger?

┗ I get it. With everyone calling out, if it were me, I wouldn’t want to show up either, lol.

┗ For real.

Naturally, public perception leaned heavily towards Xavier, the Seven Stars, but there were not a few people showing interest in Baek Eun Ha.

She had recently demonstrated her prowess in two newly created S Rank Dungeons, one in the U.S. and one in Korea.

– At this rate, she seems to be the most outstanding among the recent newcomers.

– Baek Eun Ha really isn’t messing around. Wasn’t she a C Rank just a year ago?

Of course, the reality was quite different, but to the public, she seemed like a particularly unusual presence among other Hunters.

And right now, Baek Eun Ha was.

“That’s not it. Did I overlook a spell? That was a bad call.”

“…S-shut up. That was a tricky spot.”

She was still deeply immersed in games with Xavier, who had begun to stay at Yesiel’s house.
