Chapter 674

Corpse storage: an inventory exclusive to necromancers that could permanently store a total of 5 NPCs or monsters . AS such, necromancers had a habit of storing the body of a named NPC or raid boss monster that they had previously acquired in a quest or event .

They did this in order to gather excellent corpses and to use the best corpse among them as the material of a death knight . In other words, the corpse storage was for concepts such as a death knight ‘candidate’ collection . Agnus had one body in the corpse storage .

[Lantier’s Remains]

Rating: Legendary

The remains of the 15th Lantier, who was revered as a legendary assassin .

" . . . I’d like to try this guy out, but it’s just too hard to raise the dominance stat . ”

Agnus sought out the Behen Archipelago in order to find Pagma’s legacy, which belonged to Baal’s former contractor .

He had fought two days and nights against Lantier on the 61st island . Both his death knights and liches lost experience several times, and he even had to invoke the passives of the liches . In short, it was a tough battle, in which he struggled with stamina control . Agnus got a thrill just from remembering it . He was solely focused on the battle!

‘A level 400 death knight using a legendary body . . . ’

Moreover, Lantier was an assassin . His agility seemed made him seem like a living being, as compared to Agnus’ death knights . Agnus was convinced that Lantier would be comparable to Lich Mumud .

‘Once I raise my level and gain the required amount of dominance, I can use Lantier as if he were my very own arms and legs . ’

He would rechallenge the 62nd island, which he had failed .

“ . . . I will obtain all of the legendary death knights remaining on the islands . ”

Agnus realized it now . The fact that the legendary death knights on the Behen Archipelago were Pagma’s legacy and that they were armed with his items .

‘More . ’

More and more strength .

‘I will crush and break everything . ’

There was no entertainment as good as slaughter and destruction . Now he could understand the feelings of the trash who used to plague him to death . . .

“Kuk!”

Agnus stumbled while lost in thought and shook his head . He felt a terrible headache when he realized his own mind had become distorted enough to understand the trash that destroyed his life and killed his beloved . It was a type of self-defense mechanism .

“Hah . . . Hah . . . Kik, kikik . ”

Agnus licked his sweat with his tongue and barely managed to laugh . He tried to ignore the past and the meaningless reality before shouting,

“Veradin! Veradin!”

"Did you call?"

The palace where Empress Marie and the Rose Knights resided . Agnus didn’t care about Marie as he shouted, and Veradin was quickly summoned . Veradin hastily rushed over and Agnus declared,

"I am going to the Behen Archipelago right now . ”

“Huh?”

Veradin was upset . The death knight of the Demon Slayer Alex defended the 62nd island and Agnus couldn’t beat him right now . Veradin couldn’t help but feeling puzzled at the prospect of Agnus going to the Behen Archipelago without any preparations .

"You will fail if you challenge it again right now . Why are you doing such a pointless . . . ”

Veradin fell silent in the middle of his question after seeing the tears in Agnus’ bloodshot eyes .

“You . . . ”

“I have to fight . . . ! I must forget!”

“ . . . ”

That’s right . Agnus wanted to forget the memories of the past and reality by concentrating on fighting against those who were strong . It was a very desperate wish . Veradin understood his heart, but was forced to stop it .

"I would rather you go to Empress Marie and receive a quest . It isn’t the time to head to the Behen Archipelago yet . Right now, it’s pointless to weaken yourself with repeated, meaningless defeats . Not only will this not help you, it will also eventually lead you away from your wish . Now, take a deep breath and regain your composure . ”

“ . . . ”

Veradin was a young man with a beautiful appearance, but his voice was as deep as a cave . There was a charisma in the low voice that gave the listeners intense confidence . Thanks to this, Agnus’ mind gradually calmed down . Veradin noticed it and continued speaking .

“Don’t be anxious . The Behen Archipelago will stay standing forever until you gain enough strength . ”

The difficulty level of the Behen Archipelago was terrible . Even Kraugel couldn’t clear the Behen Archipelago . Veradin was convinced of this based on his superior brain and Agnus agreed after regaining his composure .

“Kuk . . . Kukuk, yes . I will challenge the Behen Archipelago later . I will go to Marie . I hope she has prepared a fun quest this time too . ”

"Why don’t you tell Grid about Agnus’ past?”

Faker asked . Faker thought that Grid deserved to know about Agnus, who would continue to be an enemy in the future . But Lauel gave a different opinion . He shared Agnus’ past with all the leaders of Overgeared except Grid . The reason was simple .

“Grid isn’t heartless . ”

At first glance, he was selfish . But Grid drew a line at inflicting damage to others forever . Basically, it meant he was full of compassion .

What if he learned about Agnus’ past?

"Rather than using that past as a weakness, it is more likely that Grid will sympathize . He will feel disturbed when dealing with the psychopath . ”

“ . . . ”

Faker didn’t agree . He knew that Grid’s compassion was limited to ‘his people . ’ He had never seen Grid show mercy to an enemy .

Lauel smiled bitterly .

"Agnus’ past overlaps with Grid’s past . It means Grid will feel a sense of homogeneity and this might lead to sympathy . ”

Of course, the weight was different . The harassment that Agnus experienced was much greater than the harassment that Grid was subjected to . But it was equally painful . A person’s pain couldn’t be discussed .

“I just hope they don’t become entangled . ”

Lauel spoke his wish while looking out the window . He was certain that Agnus was a poison to Grid . It was terrible that Agnus had such a past, but Lauel had no intention of defending how twisted he became . Faker watched him quietly in the darkness before asking .

"Why does Veradin serve Agnus?”

Veradin had been famous since his rookie days . It was enough to form double pillars with Lauel and people’s evaluation of him was still the best . Faker couldn’t understand why such a person would serve Agnus . Lauel came up with a shocking interpretation .

“Veradin isn’t serving Agnus . He’s observing Agnus as an interesting experiment . ”

" . . . Experiment?”

"Veradin is a psychologist . "

“ . . . ”

In the end, Agnus was still alone in the world . Lauel thought he was a poor person .

***

[You have entered the 60th island . ]

The Behen Archipelago . Grid appeared at the last save point before the 61st island . By his side was the beautiful elf Sticks, although he was a male .

"I suddenly thought of something . Will Muller’s death knight be the guardian of the 66th island?”

The legend that even Braham recognized as the strongest . Grid thought it would be impossible to conquer the Behen Archipelago if he had to face Muller . Sticks reassured him .

“Pagma can’t make Muller a death knight, even if contracted with Baal . Muller was a noble soul . ”

" . . . He truly is the best, with no rivals . ”

Did this mean he survived after dying? Then Grid heard a familiar voice .

“Sticks! Sticks! Sticks!!”

It was the voice of the little fairy Bini, who guided the challengers of the Behen Archipelago in Sticks’ absence . What was so urgent? This little fellow was making a fuss as he flew around Grid and Sticks .

“Pant pant . ”

Bini seemed to have something to say but he consumed a lot of his stamina from flying in a hurry . He couldn’t speak for a long time before he was gasping for breath .

‘This is why exercise is important . ’

Tonight, he would do 200 push ups and 100 squats and pull-ups before sleeping! Grid started reconsidering the workout plan he had been following for a few years .

“The 61st island . . . ! The 61st island was cleared!”

“What?”

Both Grid and Sticks were surprised . Death Knight Lantier . The monster whose swiftness and stealth reached the extremes was defeated?

‘Who?’

Grid had secured the first legendary class and had been growing continuously since then . At this moment, he fell behind again . The impact on Grid was beyond imagination . He resented his lowly talent that made him fall behind, despite having a legendary class . As Grid was feeling frustrated, the small fairy spoke the name of a completely unexpected person .

“Agnus . . . ! He said he was called Agnus! He was a completely crazy person!”

“Agnus?”

The person who made Grid almost taste defeat in front of the whole world was standing before him again? Grid’s blood became heated . His eyes were burning like when he faced Kraugel at the National Competition .

“ . . . ”

The usual Grid lost his calmness every time he became heated up, just like any other person . But .

"What about the 62nd island? Did he also clear the 62nd island?”

Grid was different from ordinary people . When he thought about someone he recognized as a ‘competitor,’ all the passion gave him a cool head .

“He didn’t capture the 62nd island . He died from a few gunshots . ”

“Gun? The 62nd island is guarded by the former Demon Slayer?”

It meant Grid had to fight with Blackening sealed . But he had to take that penalty .

‘I have to attack the 66th island . I must break through the 62nd island without Blackening . ’

Agnus had cleared the 61st island despite not yet evolving to a legendary class . Grid had started to peek at the myths beyond the legends so he couldn’t be worse than Agnus .

“I will go to the 62nd island . ”

Grid said while attaching the Enlightenment Blade onto Sword Ghost .

“Good luck . ”

Sticks smiled gently and cheered him on . On the other hand, Bini was turning blue .

"H-H-How can you challenge the 62nd island that the crazy human failed to do? You also didn’t break through the 61st island!”

"That was a long time ago . ”

Supaak!

Grid stepped towards the gate that was created in front of him . Bini didn’t know what to do as Grid’s appearance disappeared .

“S-Sticks . Shouldn’t you say something? That person is going to die again!”

“No . ”

“ . . . ?”

"He will purify the Behen Archipelago and win the title of Hero King . ”
