A Diamond of the Blessed Sanctum.
When held by priests and holy knights, it increases their faith sharply as well as the effects and range of holy spells.
Weed gains courage in front of items.
Jewels were easy to bargain with.
As though he was in a 100 meter race, he ran on four feet and jumped high onto Lordriam.
‘The only way to fight and win easily is to cut off its antennae.’
Lordriam has atrophied eyes so it read small signs with its antennae. The antennae could be said to be its only weakness.
‘The Dance of Insane Warrior.’
With Weed’s attack capabilities weakened, the only Skill that could inflict a damage to Lordriam was this one. Squeezing out his mana, he swung his sword at Lordriam’s eight antennae and then stepped on the ground. The energy of blood-like mana moved around and hit Lordriam’s antennae.
- You have inflicted a critical strike.
His concentration grew stronger the more danger he was in!
With moves he wouldn’t normally be able to perform in air, he cut Lordriam’s antennas.
SHRIEEEK!
Lordriam started struggling. Even though the antennas were cut it wasn’t over yet. It can heal itself with holy spells. Weed had to put out as much damage as he could while it was writhing at the pain of getting its antennae cut.
“The Seal of Prisoner. Sword of Fighting Spirit!”
Using his Berserker Skills, he attacked Lordriam. Usually, he would prepare his heart or come up with plans in his head when he encountered boss class monsters.
But Weed jumped up on his four feet, hitting it as much as possible as soon as he spotted Lordriam. As if he was trying to prove that no monster can stand in front of a beating, he circled around it and swung his sword.
Lordriam activated a holy spell.
Purification of Silence.
A holy spell that turns an evil creature to nothing. The Diamond of Blessed Sanctum magnified the effect. As Weed’s bones broke, it only left him with 2% health remaining.
‘I need to kill it no matter what…’
He tried to keep slashing Lordriam but another holy spell was used.
Turn Undead.
A spell incompatible with Undead!
Normally, an Undead higher than a Death Knight won’t collapse right away from Turn Undead. But Weed’s life was way too low so he couldn’t withstand the holy spells of Lordriam.
- Health has depleted. You have died.
Skill level for ‘Power to reject death’ is low. Due to holy power permeated to the body, the Skill hasn't activated.
You are unable to log in for 24 hours. Because of your death, your level and Skill mastery declines.
_____________________________________________
Not only three minutes after Weed died, Crema’s knights arrived.
After they came into the dungeon they encountered the Avannah and hunted it as fast as they could and came here.
“It’s the great king Avannah.”
“Its antennae are cut.”
Lordriam was already injured with many scars.
The Crema knights hunted Lordriam whose antennae were not fully recovered. They weren’t inflicted as much as the Undead by holy spells so it wasn’t that hard. Polon finished off Lordriam and picked up The Diamond of the Sanctum which Weed was craving.
“This rare item…”
After the battle, they were able to find many things besides items dropped by Lordriam.
“This must be the item Weed dropped as he died.”
A nearby knight picked up the item first.
- You obtained 3 old barley breads.
- You obtained chieves.
- You obtained rusty broken helmet.
- You obtained a wriggling worm.
- You obtained a molar of a skeleton.
“I can’t even remember the last time I picked up such poor items. Why was he even holding these?!”
The knight couldn’t resist his irritation and threw the japtems. As an Undead, their tendency was bound to lean towards misfortune and evil side. If you have a bad reputation, the possibility of dropping good items among the items in your possession multiplied several fold. But Weed died dropping bunch of useless items.
This was thanks to Weed’s thorough preparation
“There are many Necromancers. First of all, these Necromancers who like Undead aren’t normal.”
Ever since he received the quest from The Undead Legion and seeing there were many people, he didn’t trust them. The original sword, armor and expensive item he usually equipped were stored in the lord’s castle in Morata. He only had necessary items that increase leadership such as the horn or the royal seal and as soon as Hermes guild showed up, he hid them.
“I’m gonna lose the items anyway if I die….”
He entreated Marey and left it to him.
“You must give them back to me later.”
“I will do so.”
“If you look at the bottom of the items it written in small, ‘Weed’s item.’”
“………”
By preparing for his death in advance, he was able to not lose important items.
Of course, from Weed’s point of view, it was a matter of great regret that he couldn’t hide even japtems.
_____________________________________________________
After confirming that Weed got killed by a monster, Polon and the knights came back to Natalia Plains.
“Necromancers, decide whether you will join Hermes guild or not.”
The Spellcaster and Ranger armies posed in preparation for attack. It was a little coercive but Polon clearly showed to Necromancers that if they don’t join Hermes guild, they would be killed right here.
“Wa… What should I do?”
“I like staying alone. But if I do join Hermes guild, there may be advantages.”
While the Necromancers were agitated, Jeanne straightened her shoulder and stepped forward.
“I will not join Hermes guild.”
“You must be Jeanne.”
Polon heard about the Necromancers through Zabrin.
“And the reason for not joining the guild is?”
“It could be said that the reason we could become Necromancers is thanks to Weed.”
“That’s it? If you reject Hermes guild, there will be a lot of dangers coming to you. Even now, I’m sure you have a lot to lose if you die here. I will give you another chance to change your decision.”
“My position stays unchanged. From the moment I became a Necromancers to these quests, every Necromancers owed Weed a great favor. I will not be a part of Hermes guild.”
Polon laughed with ridicule.
“You really think the other Necromancers think the same way as you do? Let me make it clear. If you stay there, you will die. Come to this side if you are willing to join Hermes guild.
Zabrin and the Necromancers that planned to join Hermes guild walked to where Polon was.
But more than ten Necromancers stood still.
Jeanne, Otem, Harien, Gruzed, Varenna and other players that fought together in the canyon. Some were already in guilds but they voluntarily rejected Hermes guild. Marie stood on Hermes guild’s side because he had to protect Weed’s items.
“The story will not end like this… Looks like a song with good story will come up.”

From KMC Media, adventures of Necromancers was being broadcasted live. Mainly because Weed was in the adventure, they started broadcasting live from the moment he revealed himself. Other broadcasting networks were broadcasting a program about Necromancers and The Undead Legion so there weren’t any changes to ratings.
This was due to CTS raising their ratings high with prodigious amount of funds from the parent company; LK gamers that broadcasted professionally with their established digital media system that was available 24 hours.
Beside them, new broadcasting stations and online broadcasting stations were established within a month.
As tons of people became interest int Royal Road and derived their joy from it, specialty channels also appeared.
Royal Road fishing channel.
Royal Road golf channel.
Dungeon chef.
Child of Versailles Continent.
Bard’s old boots.
As the influences of online game broadcasts grew larger, the competition got fiercer. KMC Media was a channel that secured a lot of fixed viewers based on support from a variety of players.
“Weed and The Undead have finally occupied the monastery.”
When Weed’s adventure went on air, general viewers visited the message board and responded. Besides game broadcasting channels, it was so popular that popular that it was republished on portal news sites. It was not only because Weed was a living legend of Continent of Magic, but he also kept having exciting adventures in Royal Road.
“Hermes guild suddenly appeared and started attacking. Ah, its an incredible force. There’s Polon, Crema Knights, ranger armies and Spellcasters.” When they were about to cut the broadcast with the scene of Weed clearing his last quest, hosts explained the sudden change of situation and even floated a subtitle.
▷Appearance of Hermes guild.
▷Attacking The Undead led by Weed.
They decided to prolong the broadcast until the dispute between Weed and Hermes guild ended.
-The second round of Weed and Hermes guild.
-Hermes guild sent out an assault team to a place where The Undead Legion stood in force just to kill Weed.
-A battle!
Ratings went up dramatically.
However, Weed’s condition was too poor to make any meaningful variable. They announced that Weed performed remarkably but then went in the monastery and was eventually killed.
Although he wasn’t killed directly by Hermes guild, it still broke the record of undefeated God of War.
Soon, the viewers’ message board was filled with comments regarding Weed’s death.
- Those cheap dirty bastards. They lost at Jigolaths and chased him all the way to there.
- These heartless cowards are all the same.
- They brought that much forces and ambushed only after the quest was cleared and he was exhuasted.
- Those guys were always way too far from fair and square.
- I don’t like a single action that Hermes guild makes.
The board was filled with comments criticizing Hermes guild harshly.
