The battlefield was dead silent!
No one moved an inch, not even a muscle in fear of breaking that silence!
Murkhan who previously stood like an unmovable mountain in front of them was now on the ground, knocked out.
Michael who was standing without a scratch looked towards them, the red blood eye that shone against the darkness of the night that was slowly embracing the land was enough to scare the shit out of them!
The people who stood there watching the fight took a step back just with a glint of his eyes! The more terrifying thing was that the young man seemed enraged unlike how he was when fighting Murkhan.
His face was twisted, nerves were visible on his forehead, it was like someone had woken him up when he was dreaming of having fun with a group of beauties!
'He is just a kid!'
'We have numbers'
'If we attack all at once, we can win!'
various thoughts were going on in their mind, but they couldn't move! Something was telling them that if they attacked him, they would die!
And as if to increase the fear in their hearts, a group of skeletons came running from the forest behind the young man and stood just a meter behind him.
"Ack...!Ske...skeletons!"
"Necromancer.....He was a necromancer?"
It was a huge shock! It was very rare to find the Necromancers even in the Tower, but to think someone managed to become one before even entering the Tower!
It was completely unheard of! Even if had managed to obtain a Necromancer class, what the hell is with the number of skeletons? there were about 11 wolves-like skeletons with an extra midget skeleton in front of them.
An average Necromancer was cable of summoning 40-50 skeletons but that was the case when they had climbed at least the 30th floor or above!
But a rookie Necromancer summoning more than 15 skeletons was simply impossible!
"If he was really Necromancer, then what was that with his strength!!"
Normally Necromancers are physically weak, they depend on their summons to fight for them, supporting them with some dark magic while standing on the back.
But this young man!! He was completely different. He was more strong than even someone who was completely focused on physical type combat.
'Where does this monster appear from?'
'Is he from one of the major guilds'
The thought was natural, as only the direct descendent of famous guilds or high-rankers would have power like this!
'But there is no one with the Necromancer origin, is there?'
The high-rankers in the Tower were the peak of what climbers were able to achieve, but as for as they know, there were only a few people with Necromancer in the first place and no one who had that class had any successors!
"Wait a minute!"
someone in the group shouted!
"Red Eye!!!"
The attention of the people was drawn to the man's words as he continued.
"Red-eye...Pitch-black hair....and an army of undead behind his back!"
".....!"
Everyone suddenly realized!
A Man with deep red eyes, pitch-black hair, and an army of undead behind his back!! aren't they too familiar!!
"Don't tell me...."
There was no need for him to say more as everyone there gasped in surprise!
"The Heir of the Crazy Necromancer!"
Everyone was shocked...! It was huge news, the successor of the great hero has appeared!
The Tower is going to flip upside down if the news was spread! Different kinds of thoughts arrived on their minds but they were soon bought to a halt by a thunderous shout!
"Who the hell among you is the one who poisoned him??"
It was the young man again! He said that while pointing at Murkhan whom he had knocked out!
Michael's facial expressions were so scary at the movement that, they thought as if they had seen a devil in person!
But everyone was confused by what he was saying!
"poison?"
"Leader was poisoned?"
The men following Murkhan looked at Michel as if asking him to explain what he just said.
"Mind-Numbing poison! Which bastard among you used it"
He said looking at the people surrounding him!
"Mind-numbing Poison?"
"Isn't that the poison that will make the target num to pain and lose rationality?"
"Isn't it the famous poison used by the dang family of Murim!!"
people murmured among themselves hearing about the name of the Poison.
By now everyone has stopped fighting and was looking at Michael.
"Leader, he was poisoned!!"
"No wonder, He decided to attack the group with that man!"
"I thought it was too weird for our kind leader would act like that! it was because of poison!"
The ones in Murkhan's group were the quickest to grasp the situation!
This morning their leader came along with Jegal sung and his group saying that they would attack the third group together, They were surprised to hear that since their leader was someone who liked peace and always avoided conflicts as much as he could!
The more suspicious thing was that he went out of the base with some men the same morning, to have a talk with Jegal sung, saying that he invited him to have some talk!
They thought that both of them made an alliance to attack Linda's group together. But if what the young man said was indeed the truth then It was obvious who the culprit was!
'Mind-numbing poison', the only one among the challengers who could obtain something like that was none other than Jegal Sung!
All the men of Murkhan's group turned towards him.
Jegal Sung: "...!!"
Michel who noticed them looked towards the clown that he attacked at first, By hearing what they all said, It was most likely that Jegal Sung probably tried to make a talk with Murkhan in the hopes of perusing him to attack Lind's group, but when the talking failed, he used poison to control his mind, since they haven't even entered the Tower yet, their poison resistance would be almost non-existent, which lead Murkhan to easily fall prey for the poison!
Everyone understood what had happened till now!!
The people who came with Murkhan now had daggers in their eyes looking at Jegal Sung...
"How dare you poison the leader!!"
They seemed like they would tear him apart into pieces!
Jegal Sung who was in the middle of all this was too shocked to say anything!
he had used some of his connection to get the Mind-numbing poison from the dang family before the tutorial and since he was a part of one of the five big families, it wasn't hard for him to do that.
And when he invited Murkhan to have a talk with them, He secretly poisoned the food with mind-numbing poison.
He thought he could do anything as long as he had Murkhan in his grasp, and till the young man appeared, everything was going just as he planned! He would have been successful if only that young man didn't appear!
He was angered just seeing the face of that young man but more than anger, what he felt was confusion!
How did this man know that he poisoned Murkhan?
"How did you..."
He didn't have time to ask anything as the man he was questioning appeared right in front of his eyes.
"wait...."
His normal red blood eye has turned too deep in color as anger evident is in his eyes!
"you know I don't hate anyone normally...."
He said by pulling Jegal sung closer, holding him by his collar.
"...but I find it hot to control myself when I see someone betraying their own allies"
boom!
He landed a punch on his face, With the strength of 60+ points, at the speed of 60 +dexterity, It was so fast and strong that the people couldn't even see his hand, they only knew that he punched him when they heard the scream of Jegal Sung as his head went back word like a volleyball that was hit by an extremely strong serve.
Jegal Sung who was barely conscious after taking a single hit tried to shake off Michael but to no avail, He couldn't even move his fingers by a little.
"You!! do you know who I am? do you think could get away after hitting me? You will be dead meat if my family hears about thi....."
It was extremely disgusting, Jegal trying to threaten others with his blood and snot-covered face was too disgusting!
Jegal sung tried to use his family name to get out of the situation since brute force didn't seem to work with this man! but he didn't know that the person in front of him was a monster who was crazy enough to beat the shit out of him even if he were the son of the leader of the Jegal family himself not to mention a mere member of the family.
Anyway, the response he got for all his desperate threats was just...
Punch! Punch!
Jegal Sung, Without even knowing, got into the bad side of a monster that he should never have been!
