A mental attack using spirits!

Shadow spirits could control their victims .

Like that, it was possible to use the spirits to limit the movements of his opponents .

However, mental attacks wouldn’t have much of an effect on those with high intelligence .

Since intelligence was related to one’s immunity to these attacks, it showed that Horus’s intelligence wasn’t very high .

But he wasn’t able to completely control him . Changing the course of his sword was the best he could do .

‘The helmets the members of the Sun guild wear have a mental defense attribute . ’

Muyoung attempted to control Horus’s body .

If Horus wasn’t wearing the Sun helmet and Muyoung was better at controlling spirits, he would have been successful .

He didn’t need to control him for long either .

Muyoung could kill his opponent in a second .

“I don’t know what skill you’re using but it’s nothing more than a party trick!”

As Horus ground his teeth, his Sun helmet started to emit a light .

Two phrases appeared in front of Muyoung’s eyes .

The Eye of the Sky automatically activated to reveal the changes going on in Horus .

‘5 minutes of increased immunity . ’

It meant that mental attacks using the spirits would no longer be effective .

Not every Sun helmet had the same effect . If he was completely immune for 5 minutes, that helmet would be top ranked among them .

Soon after, Horus manipulated space as he rushed towards Muyoung .

‘So he knows how to use the Blink skill . ’

Clash!

He raised Anguish and narrowly block Horus’s sword .

Blink was a skill that could be used to teleport short distances .

The maximum distance was 2m and it used a lot of magical power so not many people stubbornly increased its rank .

However, Horus was able to use Blink freely .

He had an immense amount of magical power and a high degree of skill .

Swish! Dash!

Horus’s attacks were abnormally quick .

A second’s hesitation would mean his death . Even Muyoung couldn’t help but be completely tense .

Horus could increase the length of his Sword of Light and could even throw it .

However, this also would consume an incredible amount of magical power .

For a kid that only looked to be 15 or 16 to have that much magical power and skill .

‘They aren’t called rising stars for nothing . ’

Did the Sun guild have a rising star like that?

He seemed to be two levels above of Fire Dragon Woo and Code both whom he had faced before .

For someone to be this much above his peers, it meant that he had the talent, effort and support to back it up .

It was unexpected for his intelligence to be low compared to that but he couldn’t say that he didn’t have great skill .

However, even though he was clearly winning, Horus felt something was strange and knit his brows .

Horus’s continuous attacks stopped .

“You… aren’t you a beginner? How can a beginner be my match?”

Horus was a 2nd generation . He only knew that beginners would spend a month in the temple before coming to the Underworld .

But it was impossible for them to increase their strength to the point of being able to defeat him in that short period of time .

Muyoung didn’t reply .

Instead, he became more alert .

‘At most, 2m . ’

The range Horus could blink to .

Muyoung was currently within it .

His neck could fly off at any moment .

Horus unconcernedly spoke in a composed voice .

“Looks like you were strong on that place called Earth . Good . The skilled deserve to be treated as such . I will now fight you as a warrior . ”

He raised his sword and pierced the floor .

“My name is Horus! The son of the Great Warrior Almighty and the incarnation of the Sun God . ”

He was named after the Sun God from Ancient Egypt .

For the Sun guild to allow that name meant he came from a noble descent .

The Great Warrior Almighty!

He was the second most important figure in the Sun Guild .

He placed among the top 10 humans in the past and was pushed out due to his age .

But he wasn’t an opponent you could disregard because of that . There was no one with more experience than him .

‘So he’s Almighty’s child . ’

He had heard of Horus’s name .

He had even seen him before but Horus was too different from his current self that he couldn’t recognize him .

In the past, Horus was a degenerate .

A degenerate without an arm who was addicted to alcohol, drugs and women .

He did remember hearing that he used to be incredibly strong even among the rising stars when he was young .

‘I heard he became like that after failing to become the guild master . ’

Alexandro Quintart’s prolonged rule . A monarchy was established because of that .

The Sun guild was Alexandro Quintart’s castle .

He heard that Horus was unable to wait any longer and had lost his arm after challenging Alexandro Quintart .

If he wasn’t Almighty’s son, he would have died that day .

Afterwards, he became a degenerate .

But he wasn’t a degenerate right now . Horus who was currently normal stared at Muyoung as if urging him .

“Muyoung . ”

“Muyoung? What an unusual name . Then… let’s start . ”

Horus was a true warrior .

Even though he looked at Muyoung with a death stare, he felt excited after acknowledging Muyoung’s strength .

It meant that a fight between the strong brought him that much pleasure .

‘I guess this is much is enough for a teaser . ’

However, Muyoung never thought of having a pure one-on-one fight .

Objectively, he was no match against him in a one-on-one fight .

Horus’s abilities weren’t something Muyoung could currently deal with .

Horus was strong enough to place first or second amongst the rising stars .

Stubbornly fighting one-on-one was suicide .

Slaaaash!

Horus’s sword sliced through the air once again .

However, Horus was able to find Muyoung’s presence as he turned his body .

‘Shadow teleportation . ’

The effect of the Shadow Armor .

Although it could only be used 3 times a day, it was enough to distract Horus for a moment .

Muyoung was holding talismans in his hands before anyone realized .

‘The Blazing Spear Soldier, Sorceress of Lightning and the Prince and the Avengers . ’

He brought them all out .

In an instant, more than 30 undead were spread around Muyoung .

“You… you were a corpse sorcerer?”

Looking at the scene, Horus deeply frowned .

His eye reflected feelings of hatred .

He believed that true warriors shouldn’t manipulate dead people .

However, Muyoung didn’t care .

The undead were a part of his strength .

“C, could that…!”

A total of 60 people were spectating Muyoung and Horus’s fight .

They were originally people Horus had dragged here to complete the mid-ranked room .

But one of them let out a shock after seeing Muyoung’s summoned undead .

“The slayer of the to, tower! H, how?”

Flop!

A man collapsed .

His body was trembling nonstop and due to the extreme fear, he pissed himself .

It seemed he was one of the few who had killed 5 and escaped .

Although there wasn’t anyone who had seen Muyoung personally, there were a few that had seen the zombies and the Skeleton of Fire and Ice .

And the Prince and the Avengers were ghoul type undead . Their size was different but they looked similar .

The man’s eyes were locked onto the Prince and the Avengers as he trembled .

There were tens of people who feared death and had killed their comrades to escape the tower .

For a person from then to be here .

“The slayer of the tower? Him?”

“That rumor was true?”

A small commotion . People chattered .

If they exited the Sky Library, information about Muyoung would spread .

‘I never intended to spare you in the first place . Kill them . ’

It was one of the reasons why he made Suzy leave first .

Blaze!

The Blazing Spear Soldier was the first to move .

The long spear was engulfed in flames as he blocked his surroundings .

Crackle!

As people hesitated, the Sorceress of Lightning shot lightning bolts down from above .

“S, save me!”

“Please! Please… Ah!”

The Avengers cleared out the rest .

It was a massacre .

Muyoung reanimated the corpses and embedded spirits in them .

Among them, exactly 5 went through a change .

‘The spirits who controlled the Steel Dolls . ’

As soon as the 5 spirits attached themselves on the newly created zombies, their skin turned into steel . It became a living armor .

They truly became steel zombies . Their stats had greatly increased and they had destructive power similar to the Avengers .

‘I guess I can connect them together . ’

He had gained another method for using spirits .

In a few minutes, roughly 60 people had all died .

They became undead and stood as Muyoung’s soldiers .

Horus who was silently observing the scene said in shock .

“I have never seen a corpse sorcerer like you . Just who are you?”

Necromancer was a secret class .

As it had never appeared yet, it was obvious that Horus didn’t know .

Corpse sorcerer was a title given to those that controlled corpses like Jiangshi[1] .

But the amount they could control were small and the process was complicated .

They were unable to reanimate corpses with a skill like Muyoung .

“On top of that… those two seem familiar . I think it was called the Next Index? I think I saw them there . Don’t tell me you killed them as well?”

The Next Index were a group of young big shots .

He thought he saw them when he attended their group .

Muyoung stretched his hand out .

Soon, around a 100 undead charged at Horus .

“Are you not going to answer? Fine . I will ask again when you are half dead . ”

Horus was confident .

A confidence that showed that he would not lose to an unknown man and some corpses .

Although he did have the power, Muyoung’s undead all possessed a strength that exceeded what they had when they were alive .

The Sorceress of Lightning implanted the ‘Lightning Rune’ on the surrounding zombies and steel zombies to strengthen them .

‘Explode . ’

Booom!

The bodies of the strengthened zombies inflated . They drooled and their eyes turned red .

It was a skill where the body would explode into powder along with the destruction of the enemy .

Horus who looked down on the dead instantly became stunned .

Clang!

Even the Blazing Spear Soldier was unable to receive Horus’s sword .

Although Horus was very strong in one-on-one fights, he wasn’t used to fighting many at once .

The exploding zombies blocked every direction and the Blazing Spear Soldier wielded his spear in front of him .

If he was careless, an Avenger would ride the explosion of the zombie and aim for his neck from above .

The Sun helmet shined as if it was about to explode .

However, his sword was slowly losing its light .

No matter how much magical power you had, there was a limit .

Swish!

Muyoung unsheathed Anguish .

And he slowly approached him .

“This, doesn’t make sense . For these dead corpses to! This isn’t a fight between warriors!”

“That’s right . It’s a fight of life or death . ”

“Urgh…!”

Muyoung wielded his sword as he appeared behind Horus using Shadow Teleportation .

Horus was barely able to block it but he continued to be stunned .

Muyoung slightly smiled .

A fight between warriors?

He had never done that before .

Muyoung always stood on the borders of life or death .

To Muyoung, living and killing your opponent first was the meaning of a fight .

“Coward! Fight me fair and square!”

Horus’s sword trembled .

He was even panting roughly .

Muyoung used his last Shadow Teleportation to once again appear behind Horus .

Fair and square .

You couldn’t live long if you thought of those things .

To fight a monster, you had to become more monstrous .

Clink- clang!

The Sword of Light shattered .

The wings on Horus’s back disappeared .

Muyoung expressionlessly gazed at Horus who fell to the floor .

Then he took off Horus’s Status Viewer from his wrist and read his history .

‘Horus was a typical warrior . ’

The top among undead warriors was the Death Knight .

Horus was outstanding compared to the materials he had until now but it was too lacking to create a Death Knight .

However, he could probably become a ‘Death Warrior’ that was ranked just below it .

‘Art of Death . ’

He imagined the shape it would take and cast the skill .

Soon, a black aura flowed out and covered Horus’s body .

Level: 100

Type: Death Warrior

Strength 130 (117+13)

Agility 105 (92+13)

Stamina 113 (100+13)

Intelligence 58 (45+13)

Wisdom 67 (54+13)

Magical Power (120 (107+13)

Magic Resistance 50 (37+13)>

+Excellent equipped status (All Stats +13)

+Can neutralize mental attacks

+Blink, Sword of the Black Sun, The Wail of the Warrior, Wings of Solar Prominence are usable

+Strong resistance against Dark and Light

+High defence

A calm smile appeared on Muyoung’s lips .

Horus was wearing a full black body armor and his eyes exuded the composure of the strong .

He was stronger than any undead he had made until now .

There was nothing he could ask for since he also had Magic Resistance .

What was more, the art score of 83 was the highest he had gotten until now .

There weren’t even glaring flaws .

He nodded his head in satisfaction and turned him into a talisman before putting him in .

Afterwards, he took out another talisman .

‘Long-distance Teleportation Magical Item . ’

A magical item that would teleport him to a place he remembered!

‘I will capture Hedley’s Kow from the Demon God’s territory . ’

He was going to capture Hedley’s Kow when it transforms into a phoenix .

It was time to carry out his plan .

He had obtained everything he needed here .

He even unintentionally obtained a treasure like the Black Sun Warrior .

Riip!

Muyoung ripped up the magical item without reserve .

Whoooosh!

Then Muyoung’s figure disappeared along with a gust of wind .
