Ranker Who Lives Twice Chapter 247 - A Turbulent World (4)

Yeon-woo stepped inside the portal. As he did, darkness filled his vision.

Swoosh!

When he activated his Holy Fire, the darkness shifted back, revealing a large space.

There was a long wall, and the ceiling was very high.

And in there,

Clack, clack!

Tak tak tak!

Undeads were moving around busily.

Skeletons hung from the ceiling and the walls, casting magic circles, and ghouls and zombies ran around busily on the ground with sothing in their hands. They were the materials to be used for the magic circles.

The flying banshees and specters were touching the areas that couldnt be reached. They also imdiately appeared where things were going wrong and fixed it.

Koong. Koong. Koong.

In the midst of all that, a stone golem walked by Yeon-woo with materials of iron on its back.

Its basically a dungeon.

Yeon-woo smiled wryly.

The undead, ghost monsters, and even the golem that could be used as a guardian. If the atmosphere was a bit more depressing, it would be a perfect dungeon that appeared in RPG gas.

Actually, this was an Intrenian.

It was the weapons storage room out of the 3 that he received from the Bureau.

He ordered the contents to be moved into the treasure storage room so Boo could use it as a lab.

On top of the supplies, books, and experint materials he got from the Walpurgisnacht, he even had the Sumr Queens magic archive.

He couldnt neglect them as he had anymore. There was a need to keep them organized.

Also, Boo seed to want a lab of his own now.

He had grown rapidly after absorbing the Philosophers Stones and the souls of the witches, and as his level increased, his faint consciousness slowly ca back to him.

Aside from that, magicians were beings who searched for the Truth until they died. Liches were those who still had those desires after death.

Of course they would want to further their knowledge of the field, and for that, they needed a space of their own.

But in terms of loyalty, Boo was second to none.

Also, because he didnt really talk that much, he had never spoken about these things. If Yeon-woo told him to die, he really would.

Because Yeon-woo was thankful for that, he gave Boo an Intrenian, hoping it would be a sufficient reward.

Its a good thing I gave it to him.

Boo had summoned about a hundred undead to get to work.

Magic circles were cast on the ceiling and walls, and he had set up different equipnt in different sections.

Yeon-woo only recognized them as things that ca from researching the Philosophers Stone or as skills from the witches. He didnt know more than that.

Because the Sumr Queen had created Intrenian herself, even with all the undead bustling around, it was large enough to still be untouched in so places.

But at this rate, it would probably beco a full-blown dungeon soon.

Sothing suddenly occurred to Yeon-woo.

If this is going to be a dungeon anyway, wouldnt it be better to make it large? It can be used more efficiently that way as well.

Just when he was deep in thought about the use of the dungeon

Aye. Youre here, Master?

The subspace made by a dragon..Its definitely impressive in size.

lightsvl m Dont ask to do this ever again. And that Lich..He looks so easygoing on the outside, why is he so picky?

Just then, a tired Shanon, Hanryeong, and Rebecca appeared with deep sighs.

The Monster Portents that plodded after them bowed to Yeon-woo and quickly disappeared into the shadows. To be exact, it seed like they were running away.

Yeon-woo unknowingly grinned. He sent his subordinates to help Boo. It seed like Boo had used them without giving them any rest.

Its not the ti to be laughing right now. Youre being tricked right now. Hes only like that on the outside, you dont know how dark he..!

Just when Shanon was angrily complaining

Youre. Here. Master.

Boos shadow suddenly popped out from next to Shanon. Boo heads clacked as he bowed to Yeon-woo and montarily glared at Shanon. His Inferno Sight flared like he was asking Shanon if he was tattling on him.bender

Shanon glared at Boo like he didnt do anything wrong and looked away.

He was definitely in a higher position than Boo as a Death Noble, but since a while ago, it beca hard to talk to Boo.

It was a threat that he felt instinctively. Boo started to emanate an aura that the others didnt as he grew. It was like he couldnt be touched.

Even so, in front of Yeon-woo, that aura disappeared, and he only showed fierce loyalty. It was unbelievable for the others to watch.

And looking at Boo, they all had the sa thought.

Just what was Boo when he was alive?

Although a part of his mories had probably returned to him, Boo never ntioned anything about when he was alive.

I didnt think their hierarchy would be like this.

Yeon-woo also expected that there would be so kind of order among his subordinates as he gained more followers.

He thought Shanon, who was a Death Noble, or Hanryeong, who reached great peaks during his life, would have the authority.

But looking at it now, he was surprised to see Boo sowhat in charge.

This kind of situation wasnt bad for Yeon-woo either.

Although Boo was quiet, his thoughts were deep.

With his various magic, he could be a great help whenever it was needed, and he also led the Monster Army during war smoothly. He was a faithful and competent second-in-command.

More than anything, his loyalty was the most outstanding. It was a lunatic kind of blind loyalty. This was a condition that any subordinate should have.

He would be easier to control than the unpredictable Shanon or the unreadable Hanryeong.

Also, hes my first subordinate.

Still smiling, Yeon-woo tossed two of the rings on his finger to Boo.

Take it.

Master. This is..?

Boo carefully accepted the rings and looked at Yeon-woos face. On his hand, there was already a ring like what he just gave Boo. It was the ring to open Intrenian.

This, and the other two that I just gave youyou can combine them into one, right?

If I adjust. It. Its. Definitely. Possible.

As we climb the floors, well be able to grow, and well gain more things. So before that, complete the dungeon in order for us to use it whenever we can.

Boo imdiately understood what Yeon-woo was saying.

The greater the dungeon, the more they could own. They could increase the number of workers they hadskeletons, zombies, and ghoulsand continue to strengthen them.

Skeletons to skeleton warriors or mages, zombies to giant zombies, specters and banshees to phantoms, and so on.

The undead that Yeon-woo used after declaring his domain were just the corpses that he found lying on the battlefield.

But if they were kept here and strengthened, then summoned on a large scale instantly..

It would be destructive. And I can also summon a few as needed.

When attacking enemy bases, they could open the dungeon mid-air and surprise their enemies. They could use this for many battle tactics.

Also, that wasnt the only benefit a large dungeon had.

If it was big enough, they could conduct large-scale experints that they couldnt before.

The bodily experints the Walpurgisnacht had progressed with was only possible because they had the space and the money.

Yeon-woo had focused on this point.

Since they were making a dungeon anyway, it should be made larger. Boo would also grow faster.

There wasnt any problem with the funds either. Just by taking what the Sumr Queen had, they would have a few years worth of wealth of a Large Clan.

But. Master.

Yeon-woo flashed the Intrenian ring that he used often.

I can put the items I need in here. You dont have to worry. However, move everything that used to be in there in here.

Thank you.

Boo bowed. His shoulders were trembling.

The master who had given him life and power was showing him generosity again. How should he repay this?

Master, what about ? Dont I get anything?

Shanon, who had been silently watching the two, suddenly burst in between them.

Yeon-woo glanced at Shanon, and lightly sighed as he moved deeper inside of the dungeon.

Hey, Master! Whats the aning behind that sigh? What does it an?

Shanon jumped up and down as he chased after Yeon-woo.

* * *

This. Is. It.

Boo led them to a deep place inside the dungeon. However, this place was isolated from the other sections and felt closed off.

The sll of death filled the air, and there were familiar magic circles engraved on the walls and the ceiling. They were transmutation circles and sealing circles.

This is enough.

Yeon-woo confird that the magic circles all worked and summoned the soul of the Sumr Queen from his collection.

Hwak!

Black energy was instantly poured into the soul, and it changed into a spirit.

There were limits to communicating with a soul, so Yeon-woo had given it so power like Bahal and Leonte.

Since she was the Sumr Queen, she was still dangerous as a spirit. She had almost escaped the bind of the Black Bracelet as a re soul. It was even more dangerous now.

And as he had expected

Heaven Winggggg!

As soon as the Sumr Queen snapped to attention, she ran at Yeon-woo.

She didnt have a clear existence, so she was in her human polymorph form. Her transparent long hair stretched out, and her two eyes turned sharp.

The Despair of the Black King activated to put her under painful pressure, but she didnt care about that. She just wanted to kill Yeon-woo for putting her in this state.

However

Chrak, chrak!

Boo cast a spell as if he had been waiting, and the sealing circles activated to pour out Divine Iron.

It was a sealing circle that had bound a lower-level demon. The Sumr Queen couldnt escape it in her current condition.

Let go! Let go of ! Heaven Wing! Ill kill you!

The Sumr Queen resisted, tied up in the Divine Iron like it was a cocoon. But the more she struggled, the tighter the Divine Iron beca.

Aaack!

Had she ever experienced humiliation like this? She had lived the last thousands of years as a great Draconic species, and she had ruled the Tower with pride.

However, not only did she die after being mocked by a lowly being, but she also beca a ghost after dying, and the fact that she was tied up here made her go crazy.

It was humiliating and unpleasant. She would kill herself if she could, but she was too tightly bound by the Despair of the Black King.

She wasnt the owner of herself anymore. Yeon-woo was.

This might be why its called Despair.

Not being dead even after you died. Looking at the Sumr Queen jumping around like she was going mad, Yeon-woo burst out laughing. He couldnt feel more satisfied than this.

She acted like she would rule the Tower forever, then she ca tumbling down to this pathetic state. The end of the last Draconic species was a sight to see.

I said to let go!

The Sumr Queen scread, eyes red. If she couldnt kill herself, she wanted to go mad, at the very least. But the outstanding rationality of the Draconic species didnt allow her.

Even if she had symptoms of insanity, all Yeon-woo had to do was input black energy inside of her to clear her mind.

Clack

Yeon-woo took off his mask and slowly approached the Sumr Queen.

The Sumr Queen resisted even more as he did.

Heaven Wing! Heaven Wing! Even after death, he made her suffer, and now he didnt leave her with any chance of escape. Just what was the thing in front of her?

The Sumr Queen couldnt believe her eyes. Cha Jeong-woo was definitely dead. It was sothing she confird herself. It made sense if the thing in front of her was an undead, like her.

But the thing in front of her was definitely a living, breathing human. She was confused at the phenonon she couldnt understand.

And when Yeon-woo lowered himself to et the Sumr Queens eyes, lifting her chin to smirk at her, the Sumr Queens resistance stopped like it was a lie. Instead, she glowered at Yeon-woo with still eyes.

You! Youre not Heaven Wing.

She did lose a part of her powers, but she still had so skills left. The person she saw with her Draconic Eyes was similar to Jeong-woo, but it wasnt him. He was sothing similar.

Cha Yeon-woo. Thats my na.

The Sumr Queen realized who Yeon-woo was at that mont.

Did Heaven Wing have a brother?

He did.

You! I shouldve ripped you to shreds when I first saw you!

Sorry. Thats not , but you. Isnios.

Yeon-woo opened eyes that were similar to the Sumr Queens and growled.

Im going to rip you apart and swallow you.

Demonism began to flow from his eyes through the intense fury.

But I wont eat you easily. When youre trapped in despairwhen you realize that theres no one to save you, and you realize theres no hope in waiting. Ill eat you then.

Yeon-woo had already thought of how to take care of the Sumr Queen.

He could use her as his subordinate, but he didnt want to let his enemy live.

Rather, it was better to swallow her soul with Bathorys Vampiric Sword and grow the Dragons Blessing.

Try doing whatever you can. Do you think Ill even lift an eyebrow?

She was almost insane, but the Sumr Queen was still the Sumr Queen. She would never destroy herself or surrender. She snickered at Yeon-woo as if telling him to give it his all.

But Yeon-woo tossed the sa laugh back at her.

Well see.

What?

Im curious if youll be alright seeing the body you cherished so much being ripped apart in front of you.

What kind of!

Just then, Boo lightly waved his hand in the air.

The darkness around them disappeared and a large glass cage appeared.

The Sumr Queens body was in a purple liquid inside of it.

There were still injuries all over it from the fight with the Martial King, but her ripped arms and wings were reattached, and the major wounds were now almost healed.

Its eyes were closed, so if soone saw, they would probably think she was just sleeping.

C, Could it be?

The Sumr Queen belatedly realized what Yeon-woo was thinking. There were countless pumps and hoses connected to the glass cage.

From one side, red blood was flowing out, and from the other, black poison was being inputted.

Theres nothing to throw away in the corpse of a dragon. The eyes can be used as magic power sources, the scales and leather as armor, and the bones as unbreakable weapons. Also, its conductivity of magic power is second to none.

Stop!

From now on, Im going to dismber your body in front of you. Itll probably take so ti since its firm. Ill have to slowly take it apart in the liquid.

I said to stopppp!

And Im also planning on showing you what the pieces will make. Oh, dont worry. I wont take everything apart.

Just kill ! Kill !

Yeon-woo lifted a corner of his mouth seeing the Sumr Queen scream.

Shouldnt I leave the bones to make a Bone Dragon?

Kill ! Pleaseeee!

The Sumr Queen wanted to escape from this humiliation using any ans possible. Even if your opponent was your great enemy, there was an unspoken rule of not touching dead people. It was the last sign of respect towards soone who was dead.

But Yeon-woo didnt seem to have any of those thoughts. Not only would he rip her body apart, but he would make her corpse into a Bone Dragon!

It ant he would use her body even when she was dead.

If she could kill herself, she would willingly die over and over again. However, her soul was already bound, and she didnt have any freedom.

This couldnt happen. A great dragon. A descendant of the superior Draconic species. She couldnt bear this humiliation!

You! Youre also a descendant of dragons! How can you do that as a Dragon Human!

The Sumr Queen stopped screaming and suddenly beca speechless.

-Unless you escape that way of thinking, youll never know. Ever. Youll probably die suffering by yourself.

Why did she suddenly rember what Cha Jeong-woo said? Way of thinking. Way of thinking! Cha Jeong-woo had told her to escape the shadow of the dragons. To live her own life. If she didnt, it would lead to her own destruction.

Was that what he ant? The thing that made her suffer wasnt that way of thinking. It was the ghost of Cha Jeong-woo. [TN: Way of thinking and ghost an the sa word in Korean.]

-Poor pitiful Isnios. The last dragon..

Let go of !

The more the Sumr Queen struggled, the more Yeon-woo smiled coldly.

Pause

The Sumr Queen stopped her movent and glared at Yeon-woo with boiling eyes.

What do you want?

Looking at her, Yeon-woo spoke icily.

The reason why Jeong-woo had to die.
