Kyaha!
A Skeleton Knight, which held the legendary longspear with a snake tongue shaped blade in its hands and rode on a skeleton wolf, made a loud cry as it charged towards a group of well armed Goblins.
Rattle!
And following this Skeleton Knight was a group of Skeleton Soldiers who could easily be identified by the sound of their bones rattling.
The battle was a one sided massacre.
Puk!
The Skeleton Knight used the longspear in its hands to pierce through the helmets and heads of these Goblins, and the Skeleton Soldiers cleaned up those that the spear couldn’t reach.
In this melee battle, it was clear from the start which side had the advantage.
Battles like this were nothing special for Isaac Ivanov.
This was probably a level of battle that even those who had only heard of Isaac Ivanov’s prowess would expect.
Kyaha!
Except that such battles were taking place in as many as ten different locations simultaneously.
This was literal.
Ten platoons, each consisting of a Skeleton Knight and twenty Skeleton Soldiers, were scattered in every direction, fighting their own battles.
Kieeh!
And the details for these battles was being relayed to Kim Woo-jin in real time by the Skeleton Soldiers riding Wyverns high in the sky.
This was the most ideal and perfect style of combat that Kim Woo-jin could currently display.
First, he would read the battlefield with the help of the Wyverns.
[The smell of blood of the living stimulates you.]
‘There are about 200 over there.’
Then, the moment he found groups of Goblins with the help of his Vampire abilities, he would configure the most efficient group to deal with them.
‘One Skeleton Knight and fifteen Skeleton Soldiers should be enough.’
Thus, Kim Woo-jin was able to make use of his power in the most efficient way.
Therefore, it was natural that his pace was unrivaled.
What was the strength of Kim Woo-jin’s skeleton army, which could play the parts of hundreds of players in a fight, if their strength was drawn in the most effective way?
The answer was hard to imagine.
And even that wasn’t all.
The corpses of these Goblins that were killed by the skeleton army became poisonous bombs in Kim Woo-jin’s hands.
Kieeh!
And these poisonous bombs that were created were then carried by the Wyverns to be dropped.
The bombing began.
[Used Corpse Explosion.]
[The Poison Fog spreads.]
[The Goblins have been poisoned.]
The moment these bodies exploded, and the screams of the Goblins sounded out, the skeletons invaded.
In that way, a scene was created.
‘They’ve all gathered.’
As these Goblins ran away in fear, they encountered the other groups of retreating Goblins, and eventually became a huge pack.
“Lee Jin-ah.”
And when this large group of fleeing Goblins finally neared ten thousand, Kim Woo-jin revealed his final card.
“Finish this with the Dullahan.”
This was the reason Kim Woo-jin was able to hunt 30,000 monsters before a day had passed.
…
[There are 1,111 Goblins remaining.]
On the third day, after the three teams collectively hunted more than 100,000 Goblins, they decided to take a break.
It was always good to take a break after long battles, but none of them laughed or even seemed happy about this fact.
The reason was obvious.
“Did you hear the news about Isaac Ivanov?”
“I heard. It gave me goosebumps all over my body.”
“He’s such a ridiculous monster. To be honest, when I first heard the news about Isaac Ivanov, I always thought they were exaggerating, but now it appears that they downplayed it a lot.”
Isaac Ivanov, he completely rewrote what the players all thought to be common sense.
‘I didn’t expect him to be such a monster.’
Even Park Yong-wan, who didn’t feel any pressure when the dungeon notification told them to hunt over 100,000 monsters, couldn’t help but stiffen at that fact.
It was the same on the other side too.
“Shakira.”
“Yes, leader.”
“What do you think of Isaac Ivanov?”
“I think… he’s a monster.”
“I’d prefer it if he was a monster.”
“Huh?”
“He’s something far beyond monsters.”
Even the Lightning King couldn’t help but feel a chill down his spine when he learned of Isaac Ivanov’s power.
The results that Isaac Ivanov had displayed had been strongly imprinted on their minds.
To the extent that it would never be forgotten.
“Hey, wouldn’t it be better to hold back a little?”
Thinking this, Lee Jin-ah couldn’t help but throw out a question.
“After all, I know you’re strong and all, but is it smart to show off your strength to people you plan to fight in the future?”
It was a reasonable and wise question.
As Lee Jin-ah said, the Lightning King and Park Yong-wan were practically prey for Kim Woo-jin.
So he didn’t have to show them everything he had, did he?”
This was true.
But Kim Woo-jin wasn’t the man that Lee Jin-ah thought.
“I don’t have to show them everything.”
Lee Jin-ah tilted his head when he heard that.
“Then why?”
Kim Woo-jin didn’t respond to his question.
‘Because this isn’t everything I have.’
In the first place, he hadn’t shown everything.
At that moment, Kim Woo-jin had gotten a weapon that would turn Isaac Ivanov into an even more terrifying monster.
[Your level has increased.]
[You have reached level 180.]
[The Emissary of the Underworld admires your abilities.]
[The Emissary of the Underworld sends you a catalogue as a gift.]
‘It’s finally here.’
At this moment, another amazing weapon had been added to Kim Woo-jin’s arsenal.
That was the real trick.
‘The more intense the impression I give them, the harder it is to imagine that there’s more.’
Intense things could not be easily erased.
No matter how powerful the Lightning King and Park Yong-wan were, it was obvious that they wouldn’t expect Isaac Ivanov to be able to show more intensity than he had shown already.
And that fact would become a fatal weakness for them the moment he showed it.
That’s why Kim Woo-jin didn’t hesitate.
After taking out a skill page from his inventory, he tore it without hesitation.
[You have acquired the Lich Summoning skill.]
[Earned the Achievement ‘Lich Summoner’]
When he saw this, Lee Jin-ah also realised what was happening.
The Isaac Ivanov that had been seen before was completely different from the Isaac Ivanov at that moment.
And that was why Kim Woo-jin had revealed himself.
“What a scary guy.”
Then, as Lee Jin-ah was still thinking about this fact, Kim Woo-jin took out the catalogue he received from his halo.
Then he saw it.
“Huh?”
It was a golden page.
Kim Woo looked at the page.
[Banshee]
– Conditions: Emissary of the Underworld
– Required Level: Level 150 or higher
– Effect: Summons the cursed soul, Banshee.
“Wow, that’s ridiculous.”
It was at that moment that Isaac Ivanov had been completely reborn.
…
“You’re amazing.”
With that brief remark, Park Yong-wan handed Kim Woo-jin an elegant blue sword that he was holding in his hand.
“Really amazing.”
Immediately after that, the Lightning King handed over a silver sword that was obviously from the ancient Greek era, to Kim Woo-jin.

This was proof.
Proof that they had admitted they had lost the bet, and that they had recognized Isaac Ivanov’s ability.
Kim Woo-jin, who received this evidence, threw the swords into the air without any hesitation.
Swish!
The sword, which went up into the sky for a moment, fell back to the ground.
Tak!
Two Skeleton Knights snatched the swords out of the air with ease.
A feat worthy of applause.
But no one applauded that fact.
‘It’s hard to find a Skeleton Knight without legendary items.’
‘How many legendary items does he have.’
The ten Skeleton Knights standing in a row made chills go down everyone’s spines as they saw the legendary items in their hands.
“Shall we continue betting?”
No one said anything to Isaac Ivanov’s Russian question.
Instead, the sound of gulping was heard all around.
“I don’t want to play a game I’ll lose.”
“I admit your abilities.”
Only Park Yong-wan and the Lightning King answered Isaac Ivanov’s question.
They also smiled.
However, they weren’t able to hide the fact that it was all an act instead of genuine relaxation.
[Hunted all the Goblins.]
[Proceed to the next floor.]
In this situation, everyone heard the notification that they’d cleared the first floor, and the moment they heard the notification, the atmosphere changed once again.
‘Now it’s time for the second floor.’
‘Since we had to face 100,000 monsters on the first floor, the difficulty of the upcoming mission should be even harder.’
They had already had to face challenges that surpassed common sense in the first floor of the dungeon.
Therefore, they steeled their hearts in order to not be surprised by what they would encounter.
Then they received the notification for the second floor.
[Kill 222,222 Goblins to advance to the next floor.]
“Oh my God…”
Whatever they had imagined, it was clear that they would have to face much more than that.
