Chapter 218: Death Calling

“…”

“…”

Podolski and Nieu didn’t know how to respond . They just kept quiet .  

“Hu-hu… hu-hu-hu… Kang Chul-In better reward me well for this . I have this dungeon that requires some help to clear, so I shall get him to do my bidding!” Dorian revealed his everlasting confidence .  

It wasn’t surprising, as even Kang Chul-In acknowledged Dorian’s skills . In fact, everyone in Pangaea knew that he was the best dungeon conqueror in the world .  

“What do you plan to do?” 

“We shall sneak in . ” Dorian replied to Podolski .  

“It’s gonna take an eternity to guess the password, plus deceiving the voice-recognition magic is difficult . If we break the wall, then the alarm will probably sound . There’s only one way . Let’s just not touch the wall . ” 

“…May I beg your pardon, your Majesty?”

“Exactly as I said . If we don’t touch the wall, how would we get caught?” 

“I don’t quite understand . . . ” Podolski and Nieu tilted their heads in confusion . Dorian’s plan was far too strange for them to comprehend .  

“This . ” 

Dorian shook a flask with a silver liquid .  

“Ghostifying potion . ” 

“ . . . ?”

“This secret drug turns its consumer into a ghost for 30 seconds! With this, is there really a need to open the door? We can just go through the wall!” 

“W-Wow!” Podolski was amazed .

“How did you obtain this magical potion . . . ” The same went for Nieu .  

Both of them had never even heard of a wonder drug that could turn someone into a ghost .  

“Haha your Majesty, that was a nice bluff . ” 

“Your Majesty… if you wish to lie, please make it less obvious . . . ” 

 In the end, both Podolski and Nieu stared at Dorian with disbelief . They both thought Dorian was making things up .  

“W-What’s up with those stares?” Dorian was flustered .  

“Your Majesty, can’t you just say honestly that you don’t have a method to enter the Nekromantik bay?” 

“Lying is bad!” 

Both of them criticized Dorian .  

“Grrr!” Dorian exclaimed .  

“I’m serious! Just trust me!” 

However, Podolski and Nieu continued to stare at Dorian with disbelief .  

It wasn’t their fault .  

Dorian’s story was too fantasy-like to believe . It was natural for some skepticism to brew .  

“Hey, I’m an Overlord . Do you think I lie about these things?” 

Nod nod!

The two of them nodded their heads vigorously .  

“Should’ve taken care of my image . . . ” Dorian regretted, but it was too late .  

People already recognized him as the clumsy idiot, hence it would not be easy to fix this image .  

“Fuck it, watch carefully then! Hmph!” Dorian huffed and immediately gulped down the whole ghostifying potion in the flask . He distributed a flask to Podolski and Nieu each .  

“Erm . . . ”

“Hmm . . . ”

The pair hesitated for a moment but decided to follow Dorian suit . They had nothing to lose .  



“Hold your horses!” Dorian shouted in excitement .  

Gradually, the transformation began .  

Ssssss . . .

The three of them started to lose color in their skins, then eventually turned translucent .  

Moreover, 

Swoop, swoop!

Crack!

Thump!

All of their clothes, equipment and accessories dropped onto the floor .  

They were naked now .  

In their current ghost state, their bodies were not physically present . The items could no longer remain on their bodies hence .  

“Kyaa!”

Nieu, a demi-human girl, turned around immediately with a loud scream .  

“Oh, right . I forgot to tell you guys that we will become naked . Sorry Nieu . . . ” Dorian scratched his head awkwardly .  

He himself wasn’t totally naked .  

He still wore his boots and a huge leather backpack, making him look like a pervert of some sort .  

These epic items were the ‘Almighty Combat Boots’ and the ‘Hole of Avarice’, which were compatible with the Ghostifying Potion’s effect .  

“Where are you looking! Turn around right now!” Nieu covered her private parts and hissed loudly at the men .  

“S-Sorry . . . ”

“Shut up!” 

“ . . . ”

“You pervert! Molester! Trash! Kyaa!” Dorian apologized but the poor girl’s heart was already devastated . Dorian would have to expect many scratches on his face afterwards .  

“Haha . . . ” Dorian laughed timidly and then, 

“Run!” He instantly dissolved into the wall . He had used the ghostifying potion’s effect to escape to the Nekromantik bay!

“D-Damn it!” 

Podolski also dissolved into the wall in panic . He didn’t want to be the next victim .  

“Dorian, you pervert!” Nieu’s cry reverberated in the sewers .  

Nonetheless, it was a success .  

They could pass through the wall without even touching it!

                        ***

Kang Chul-In was familiar with the Death Calling’s options .  

In the past, Aleister had boasted to Kang Chul-In about the Death Calling while hunting the Blue Dragon .  

Its options were as follows: 

[Epic] Death Calling 

I will kill you, Overlord of Blood and Iron!

-The ruler of the black desert, necromancer Homedie Hamelin, loathed .  

Equipment Type 1: Musical Instrument (Flute) 

Equipment Type 2: Consumable (single use) 

Restriction 1: Necromancer only 

Restriction 2: Level 55 and above .

Durability: 1/1



Option 1: Dark Mana +1000

Option 2: Undead Affinity +7 levels

Option 3: Undead Monster Summon Mastery +7 levels 

Option 4: Magic Attack +280

Penalty Option: Unable to attack multiple enemies at once (single target) 

Unique Activation Option 1: Summon the Rats .  

-Upon activation, 100,000 level 70 death rats (immortal) are summoned (Duration: 5 minutes 10 seconds)

Unique Activation Option 2: Aura of Death

-Upon activation, select one entity as the target . The summoned death rats attack only the target with the aura (Duration: 5 minutes 30 seconds) .  

* Warning: Death Calling disappears after its consumption .  

That was it .  

Death Calling was not a top-class magic that brought instant death or summoned meteor showers on the victim . Instead, it was an item that summoned an insane number of death rats to bite a single target to death .  

In other words, it was bullying .  

One might question what the big deal with those rats was .

However, a death rat was a horrifying undead monster that could never be thought of as a harmless animal .  

[Death Rat] 

Type: Undead/Demon/Rodent

Level: 70 

Health: Infinite

Life Span: 5 minutes 30 seconds

Strength: 500 / Intelligence: 500 / Agility: 1000

Characteristics: [Diamond Teeth] / [Jaw of Destruction] 

Ability: [Space Warp] 

death rats had a short lifespan of 5 minutes 30 seconds (even shorter than a dayfly’s) but they had infinite health which made them impossible to deal with .  

In addition, they were incredibly agile with lightning-fast attack and movement speed .  

That wasn’t all .  

death rats had [Diamond Teeth] and [Jaw of Destruction], which could even nibble through a dragon’s scale . They also had the [Space Warp] ability, allowing them to teleport next to their victim .  

It was no wonder that Kang Chul-In was so cautious .  

Squeak, squeak!

Countless death rats swarmed towards Kang Chul-In, filling up the entire floor .  

Each death rat was as big as a full-grown cat . To witness 100,000 of those gigantic rodents required much courage for the layman .  

Here they come!

Kang Chul-In, of course, was eager to face the rats and refused to back off .  

This was a skill which he had observed once in the past .  

Not to mention the special counter he had prepared for the death rats . What could possibly scare him? 

“Charge!” Aleister swung the Death Calling to shoot an Aura of Death at Kang Chul-In .  

Come .  

Kang Chul-In had no intention of dodging it .  

He knew that he would be hit 100%, so it was meaningless for him to even try to dodge it .  

“Kang Chul-In, you bastard!” Aleister’s roar filled up the entire area .  

“You may be strong, but you can’t possibly overcome this obstacle! Kehahahaha! After your death, I shall enjoy making you into a spectre knight!” Aleister was extremely confident that the Death Calling could put an end to Kang Chul-In for good .  



“Go chew that arrogant bastard to death! My immortal rats!” 

-Krrrr!

Immediately, 100,000 death rats began to charge at Kang Chul-In .  

Aleister’s other undead monsters also began to move to hold Kang Chul-In in place .

However,

Thank you Nilus, I’m grateful .  

Kang Chul-In already had the solution to defeat the Death Calling . Hence, Aleister’s confident words were nothing but bullshit to him .  

-Krrrr!

The death rats were just about to pounce at him .  

Flash!

The Infinite Warping Device on Kang Chul-In’s right index finger emitted a flash of brilliant light .  

Psst!

Suddenly, Kang Chul-In was nowhere to be seen .  

He had used the Infinite Warping Device to teleport to another dimension .  

“Huehuehue…!” Aleister, having witnessed his rival’s disappearance, sniggered proudly .  

“You think you can escape from the death rats?”

These undead monsters were able to use [Space Warp] and chase their victim to death, even if the latter used the Absolute Return Scroll .  

Psst!

Pssst!

The swarm of death rats teleported, following the Aura of Death marked on Kang Chul-In .  

                        ***

Psst! 

Kang Chul-In found himself in an unfamiliar forest . He immediately whipped out Kaiforce and Mitra and prepared for battle .  

 He knew that the death rats would follow him by sensing the Aura of Death on him .

-Krrrrr!

-Keeeek!

-Squeak, squeak!

100,000 death rats charged at Kang Chul-In rabidly .  

Swish!

Mitra and Kaiforce were swung to fend the death rats off Kang Chul-In .  

-Keeeeek!

These undead monsters, however, were too fast and there were just too many of them .  

No matter how rapidly Kang Chul-In swung his swords, it was impossible to defend himself perfectly from the death rats .  

He did have a solution, though .  

Amplify brain capacity!

Kang Chul-In immediately activated the Oraclomind, decreasing his reaction time and increasing his spatial awareness exponentially .  

He received information of the death rats’ speed, direction and their angle of approach . His inhumane reflex subsequently allowed him to dodge every single attack .  

And, 

[3, 2, 1!]

[The cooldown time for the Infinite Warping Device has been reset!] 

Kang Chul-In let out a sigh of relief .  

Psst!

He vanished again .  

Psst, 

Psst, psst!

The death rats teleported as well, following him .  

Psst!

Kang Chul-In was now located at some beach . He held Kaiforce and Mitra like before and prepared for battle .  

Teleport ? 3 seconds of battle ? Infinite Warping Device cooldown reset ? Teleport again .  

All he had to do was to abuse this cycle .  

It took one second to teleport .  

Another second for the death rats to chase him down .  

3 seconds cooldown for the Infinite Warping Device .  

A total of 5 seconds .  

If he repeated this cycle 60 times, he could dodge the death rats for a duration of 300 seconds . That was enough for the Aura of Death to wear off .  

Wait for me, Aleister .  

Kang Chul-In made a cunning grin while dodging the death rats .  

It was almost time .  

Another 295 seconds and it was finally party time .  

Time for revenge!

                        ***

“Keke . . . ” Aleister waited for Kang Chul-In in an extremely laid-back manner .  

A few more seconds and he would see his enemy torn into pieces by the death rats .  

He assumed that Kang Chul-In would never be able to escape from the death rats, no matter how far he ran .  

If all went well, Aleister planned to drag Kang Chul-In’s limp corpse to the Nekromantik bay and make him the strongest spectre knight of all time .  

He could then exploit Kang Chul-In’s strength to reclaim his title as the great Overlord, even if he did lose this war .  

A few minutes had passed since .

“…Why isn’t he appearing?” Aleister started to get anxious as Kang Chul-In was nowhere to be seen .  

He thought the death rats could capture him within a minute or so . The Aura of Death was already about to expire .  

“Don’t tell me… did he die wherever he teleported to?” Aleister hurriedly checked the ranking page to see whether Kang Chul-In was still alive . It wasn’t 00:00 yet however, so the rankings were not refreshed .  

“No, that’s not it… if Kang Chul-In really did die, then the death rats would have returned by now . . . ” Aleister mumbled to himself .  

Suddenly, there was a blinding flash of light .  

Psst!

The spatial dimensions warped to reveal Kang Chul-In .  

Psst!

The swarm of death rats also teleported to wherever Kang Chul-In was .  

At that moment, 

[3 seconds left for the death rats . ] 

[3 seconds left for the Aura of Death . ]

A notification popped up .  

“Eek, eek?!” Aleister realized that things were not going according to his plan .
