Chapter 202

Beyond the northern portal.

That place was the ossuary Seong Jihan had crossed over to, and from the portal to the center, it was completely identical.

And in the middle, the inverted pyramid.

Jijijik!

An elf who had been diligently turning the head was startled to see Seong Jihan.

“What, what is this? Why from the portal…”

Swish!

Seong Jihan charged at the elf without hesitation or excuses.

The distance between them narrowed in an instant.

“Great Lich…”

The elf hurriedly took his hands off the head and tried to respond to Seong Jihan, but

“In the face of death, all things are equal. I, Seong Jihan, will preside over this in the name of the Reaper.”

“Wha….”

As Seong Jihan used the skill ‘Death Sentence’ after getting right in front of him.

Swoosh…!

The elf’s body melted away without even manifesting its regeneration, disappearing in an instant.

It’s a pretty good skill if you take out the long incantation.

While Seong Jihan was thinking that.

[A race that does not fall under the rule of death. Cannot be turned into an undead.]

[Eliminating.]

The system message floated over his eyes belatedly.

‘Elves cannot become undead?’

Seong Jihan frowned.

I saw that the dragons were also called bone dragons. What do you mean elves can’t become undead?

‘I guess I have to completely crush them.’

Seong Jihan looked towards the location of the ossuary’s head.

The head that had been facing north.

The northern portal in the humans’ Giant Graveyard was also the place leading to the elves’ area.

If the northern portal here also leads to the elves’ area…

‘Are the portal locations the same no matter where they lead?’

The West is humanity.

North is elves.

Are the positions all shared?

Seong Jihan went into the western portal to check.

Then undead legions he had kept on standby earlier appeared on the other side of the portal.

‘The portal locations seem fixed no matter where you go.’

If it’s not random, it’ll be easier to gather them all in one place.

Seong Jihan smiled sinisterly and entered the other two portals in turn.

‘It’s buried under the hill.’

Unlike humanity and the elves who attacked the hidden point,

It seemed the other races hadn’t dug into the hill.

It was structured like an underground ossuary chamber.

‘Let’s just turn the head and go.’

After turning the heads in those two spaces all north, Seong Jihan entered the portal on the elves’ side again.

=Player Seong Jihan..

=Really skilled movements, It’s as if he knows everything!

=He really is the elves’ nemesis! Obliterating them in one strike!

=But what is he doing right now… seems to be gathering everything to the north?

=Yes. The northern portal must somehow lead to where the elves are!

A man wholeheartedly sending four waves of undead to swarm the elves.

The viewers watched this with relief.

-Did Seong Jihan have a feud with the elves lol


-He’s mobbing them LOL


-Of course he should, right? Gotta drag the 1st placers down.


-Those World Tree elves really need to be contained. There’s already two teams from the World Tree series in the same league right?


-Yeah… there can’t be another one right?


-Oh no, hopefully not…

Flash! Flash!

While people were expressing cautious opinions about the elves, a horde of undead began pouring out of the portal.

‘Looks like I’ve gathered all the waves.’

The death knights filling up the space of the ossuary.

Compared to when they were first summoned, It seemed they had become even more enhanced after receiving the death aura.

If you send these to attack through the northern portal, they’ll charge at the elves as wave monsters.

‘Shall we go see.’

Seong Jihan leading the undead horde, was about to launch a full-scale invasion, however…

“Emergency situation has occurred!”

“We need to suppress the undead invaders.”

“That person is leading the undead horde. Concentrate firepower on him!”

Even the top 100 elves weren’t just idling around.

They quickly formed an encirclement towards the ossuary.

“It’s not an ordinary opponent…”

“30 sacrifices. Prepare for the Great Lich!”

“Understood!”

Seeing the highly enhanced undead horde led by Seong Jihan, the elves promptly made a strategic judgment.

They organized themselves into a defense line against the approaching undead forces.

‘The Great Lich… that’s quite tricky.’

Hearing the elves’ preparations from afar, Seong Jihan was about to launch a preemptive attack before they finished, but.

‘I need to show the elves’ true nature to people once more.’

Since there was still leeway, he only stretched out a finger and slowly marched the undead legions forward.

Thump! Thump!

As the death aura enhanced undead legions charged forward flying.

“Defend until the Great Lich is ready!”

“These undead are reinforced… don’t let your guard down!”

The elves also began a fierce battle against the enhanced undead horde.

Despite gathering all four waves and having a highly enhanced Death Knight, the elves weren’t an easy opponent.

-Elves are pretty good at fighting, Even against the enhanced Death Knights they can hold their own


-About five elves died until now, right? Their regeneration is seriously crazy LOL.


-Wow, did you just see that? Even though his leg was cut off, a new one sprouted out in an instant LOL. They are really worthy of being ranked first in the league.


-No way, are they real players? Why are they so strong? Even though about 30 of them are just standing there without fighting.


-But why is Seong Jihan just standing there with his arms crossed? I feel like the game would be over if Seong Jihan stepped in since elves are strong but Seong Jihan is on another level.


-He must have his own plans. Let’s leave it to him!

As people were startled again at their strength while watching the battle between elves and undead legions.

“Done…!”

“Great Lich, I summon you!”

The 30 elves who had finished the incantation simultaneously put their hands on their chests.

Crack!

The elves who smashed their own bodies and pulled out their hearts.

‘It’s started.’

Seong Jihan, who had been quietly watching this, lowered his crossed arms and slowly walked forward.

* * *

Boom!

As the 30 hearts burst simultaneously, Simultaneously, the entire body of the elves exploded in mid-air.

Blood and flesh scattering in all directions.

It gradually gathered in one area, starting to construct an enormous form.

And then.

Swoosh! Swoosh…

The fragments of the body that couldn’t coalesce into one place rapidly regenerated into their original form as elves.

“I summon the Great Lich!”

The regenerated elves once again extracted and burst their own hearts.

As they did, the gigantic figure gradually took shape, adding flesh and blood.

An elf breaking his own heart with an expressionless face, and a Great Lich created through it.

-Whoa, this is insane…


-Ugh… so creepy…


-Taking down all elf pictures in my room rn


-Whoa, it feels like it’s going to come out in my dreams.

Humanity, who had almost lost to the elves in the preliminaries, even people who had a positive view due to their otherworldly beauty turned away at this sight.

Boom!

After sacrificing themselves and exploding their hearts for the 10th time.

The elves no longer regenerated.

Instead, the Great Lich had completely taken form.

A giant of light, composed of radiance like the sun.

Just by existing, it emitted tremendous divine power.

-It sucked elf hearts while being born and now it’s sparkling like crazy lol


-Were we supposed to wait for that…?


-Yeah… feels like the villain waited for the transformation scene in a show to finish right…?


-Waiting for the transformation is a rule, LOL.

Flash! Flash!

As lights flashed from the Great Lich.

Whoosh…!

The undead legions who had been battling fiercely instantly burned away entirely.

Despite being enhanced by the power of death,

The death knights couldn’t withstand even a single strike.

That was how powerful the unleashed might of the Great Lich was, on a different dimension.

-… Waiting was the right choice, huh?


-Whoa, but… it’s too much…


-Are elves really crazy? What if something like that was in the Bronze League ㅠㅠ

As the Great Lich began to exert its power, people became tense.

No, that power went way beyond the limit, didn’t it?

-Ah, Seong Jihan probably predicted everything, LOL…


-Right. Doesn’t he have premonition abilities?


-He sees everything beforehand!

If it was Seong Jihan with premonition abilities that’s fine but.

If it wasn’t, why would he foolishly stand there and wait to fight that thing? He’d only get cursed out.

‘Still strong as ever.’

Seeing the Great Lich, Seong Jihan recalled memories about it.

The Great Lich the elves had sacrificed themselves to summon.

It had a set summon duration.

‘5 minutes.’

If you endure for 5 minutes,

The Great Lich wouldn’t be able to maintain that giant form and disappear as light.

So normally, humanity’s way of dealing with the Great Lich was to buy time.

Run away and strictly maintain a defensive posture.

They simply waited until the summoning time of the Great Lich was over.


Seong Jihan, in his past life, also followed this protocol.

However,

‘Now I need to find a different strategy.’

He couldn’t always be afraid and trampled by the elves and the Great Lich.

Aside from the 5 minute time limit, He had to find means to deal with the Great Lichs.

“Hey you over there! That guy messed things up…!”

“Quickly eliminate him! And we’ll go past the portal and kill the players!”

The leader of the elves said this while gritting his teeth and gave orders to the Great Lich.

Then, a flash of light emanated from the Great Lich’s body.

A powerful divine force concentrated on Seong Jihan.

It seemed like it could purify and burn him away in an instant.

However,

“Huh…”

Despite facing tremendous lights head-on.

The death aura surrounding Seong Jihan’s body didn’t disappear at all.

“What, this can’t pierce through either?”

“W, what…! The dark aura is blocking the Great Lich’s light…!”

To Seong Jihan’s surprise as well,

The Great Lich’s light had no effect whatsoever on the power of death.

“Hmm.”

Why is it like this?

With a tilted head, Seong Jihan approached the continuously shining Great Lich.

Flash! Flash!

As if to block that approach, the Great Lich spat out lights several times but.

Having semi-fused with the power of death, Seong Jihan lightly blocked those.

Rather, the parts that hadn’t fused stung from the heat of the light.

‘I need to spread it wider across my whole body.’

He rearranged the gathered power of death across his entire skin.

“Attack!”

“Block his approach!”

As the elves were surprised at Seong Jihan’s power and tried to obstruct his approach from the Great Lich.

“In the face of death, all things are equal. I, Seong Jihan, will preside over this in the name of the Reaper.”

Facing them, Seong Jihan instantly finished his chant as if rapping this time.

Then the elves, unable to withstand Death Sentence, collapsed while bleeding out.

As over 30 elves died in an instant.

“…Re..retreat!”

The elven leader quickly pulled back his body.

“…At this rate we’ll get last place. We head to the eastern portal!”

Then entering in a scattered manner, the elves charged into the eastern portal.

It seemed they judged that if the game ended here, their score would be last place. So they tried to drag down other races to rock bottom as well.

‘Quite quick judgement.’

Chasing down all the elves wouldn’t have felt cathartic anyway,

So for now, the Great Lich took priority.

Fortunately the eastern portal didn’t lead to humanity’s portal,

So he decided to go later while thinking that.

Seong Jihan approached the continuously shining Great Lich.

‘The Great Lich’s basis is the power of life but…’

The power of life, completely opposite to the power of death.

He didn’t understand why this power didn’t pierce through the power of death either.

The two were extreme opposites.

Normally they would collide intensely with life or death on the line,

Yet harboring these doubts, as Seong Jihan approached the interior of the Great Lich.

When he reached a certain spot, his eyes flashed.

“Oh ho.”

Inside the giant spirit of light.

Filled to the brim with the power of life,

An incompatible power was nested inside that shouldn’t be there.

If he hadn’t gained the power of death beforehand.

And also, if he didn’t have past experience using the power of life.

He wouldn’t have noticed the stealthily hidden incompatible location.

Its position was below the giant’s torso.

“Come out.”

When Seong Jihan blew the power of death in there.

Swoosh…

Fragments of the elves that had disappeared floated out from there.

Just like earlier in the ossuary.

Elven fragments having a structure similar

To a pyramid of corpses.

Seeing that, Seong Jihan’s eyes lit up.

‘So this is the weak point.’

When he smashed that with his fist.

The form of the Great Lich crumbled in an instant.

And

[‘Constellation Yggdrasil’ requests information disclosure about the player.]

[The sponsoring constellations, ‘Brahma’ and ‘Constellation of the Dead Star’ oppose this and have exercised veto power.]

[The information disclosure request is rejected.]

Messages quickly floated up over Seong Jihan’s eyes.
