NOVEL NEXT chapter 14
Create Shelter (3)
From level 4 in MA, a basic description appears in the reward, and in the case of an alchemist, it is integer decomposition.
Alchemists can use this skill to break down essence into coins.
Essences of abilities are important, but when you reach level 20, normal essences do not increase your stats.
Therefore, it is necessary to accelerate the development of the shelter by decomposing the integers that appear later to make coins.
Check the reward card in front of you.

[The reward has been paid.]
The basic knowledge of integer decomposition flooded into my head.

I took out an essence of strength.

I have 2 disassembly skills.
＜Special Decomposition＞ ＜Integer Decomposition＞
The difference between the two is that Special Disassembly can dismantle everything and has excellent performance, but there is a cooldown.
Essence decomposition was possible only with the decomposition of essence without a cooldown.
After retracing the differences between the two, when we arrived at Sema Land, Raul was waiting for us.
“great job. Raoul.”
“Yes, Seo Kang-joon!”
“Raoul, please start by flattening the area around here.”
Leveling is the process of leveling the territory you possess.
“I get it. Seo Kang-joon! With the remaining coins, you can expand the territory by about 5m around the pavilion and then level it.”
“Then start right away.”
I handed all the coins I had to Raoul.
“huh! Enough of this!”
When Raul snapped his fingers, the green light came on and then disappeared repeatedly, and the sloped roads around the pavilion were filled with soil, and the land with a radius of 5x5m began to be leveled.
Maybe 10 minutes passed.
“Done! Seo Kang-joon!”
“great job. How much does it cost to build a defensive wall in a leveled area?”
“One 50*50 cm earthen wall costs 5 coins. Seo Kang-joon!”
Although the ground is high, I still need a wall at least 3m high to be safe from the zombies while I’m away.
A wall 1m wide and 3m high costs 60 coins, so you need 16 coins to block all sides.
‘It’s 960 coins’
Too expensive to spend in the beginning.
“Use the dirt wall from Raoul’s dimension pickaxe to build a wall that is 50cm thick and 3m high.”
“I get it. Seo Kang-joon! Believe me!”
As the sun tilted westward, it would be night in another two hours.
I must go down slowly now.
“Hey, protect Raul until the wall is built here. Understand?”
-Keah!
“Then I will go. Raoul.”
“Yes, Seo Kang-joon!”
“Let’s go. Miss Elena.”
The road to the parking lot was safe, I thought as I picked up the essence and invitations that I hadn’t collected in advance.
Ilena and Black hunted zombies for about 4 hours and brought 56 essences and 3 invitations. On average, I got one essence for every ten, so I caught more than 500 zombies.
‘As expected, it’s a fraudulent combination.’
My gaze naturally turned to Ilena, and I suddenly had a question.
“Ilena. I have a question, can I ask you?”
“Anything.”
“How was the world, Elena-sama?”
Ilena’s face was visibly shaded by my question.
“I heard from my grandfather that the world I lived in was destroyed by the Lord of the End.”
“The Lord of Salvation did that. If you make a contract with him, he will give you another chance to fight the Lord of the End.”
I remember seeing it in a tutorial.
The people in the Tower of Salvation are the people of the perishing world.
“That’s why beings like me from the destroyed world come to the Tower of Salvation and become NPCs or summons to help the players defeat the Lord of the End.”
“What do you get after defeating it?”
“If the doomsday lord dies, we will be free. Freedom to live where you want.”
The Lord of Salvation at the beginning of the game’s tutorial was like that. I promise to grant the wishes of those who stop the Lord of the End.
“If I were to defeat the Doomsday Lord, where would you like to live?”
“On Earth with my clan.”
Even if the lord of the apocalypse is stopped, the earth will be almost devastated. But do you really want to live here?
“why?”
“I believe that being next to Master will be the safest.”
Right now Ilena is much stronger than I am, so why am I thinking like that? Of course, as time goes by, I will become stronger.
“Why do you think so?”
I asked directly.
“I trained for over 100 years and barely got the qualification of a high-level summon, but the master awakened me to the hero level in just one day.”
Ilena’s eyes were full of trust in me.
“And you are dealing with the ultimate homunculus.”
“Do you know Black?”
Ilena nodded and talked about the homunculus handled by the hero who came to save her world.
“But why are you here?”
“They said the hero disappeared after talking with the Lord of the End.”
“why?”
“I don’t know. It just disappeared and the place I lived in was destroyed.”
Ilena’s face was filled with sadness as she recalled the past, so she decided not to ask any more questions.
I arrived at my destination after catching zombies while remaining silent. got into the car
“wait a minute.”
When I started the car, Ilena looked at me curiously at the sound of the engine.
As I reached toward her to fasten her seat belt, Elena tensed and closed her eyes.
“Why are you closing your eyes?”
“I···. that is···.”
Elena blushed.
“My grandfather did. If the Master wants it then… Whatever you do, you have to do it.”
In the game, summoned beasts cannot disobey orders due to data fragmentation.
“So you’re saying you have to stay still even if I touch Ilena-san?”
Elena looked at me with a resigned face and nodded.
“What if I refuse?”
“My grandfather said that the restriction causes tremendous pain to the head and disappears after a certain number of times.”
Not an opportunity for revenge. It seems to be being used as a tool.
“Don’t worry, that won’t happen.”
“thank you. master.”
Ilena let out a sigh of relief and wiped her chest with both hands.
“I have the same goal as Elena-sama, so please take good care of me in the future.”
“yes! master. I’ll work harder to catch zombies in the future, but what’s that sweet smell over there?”
Ilena looked at the grape-flavored lozenges placed in front of the passenger seat and asked.
“Candy. Would you like to try it?”
“yes!”
I opened the orange candy and handed it to Ilena, who swallowed the candy with her lips pursed.
“It is very delicious!”
Each time I rolled the candy left and right, Ilena’s cheeks popped out.
“Master, there are so many delicious things in the world.”
“no way. Are you just eating that?”
“Is there anything sweeter than Coke or candy?”
Apparently, Ilena likes food with sugar in it.
“sure. I’ll buy you chocolate next time, so try it.”
“yes!”
After that, I’m going to try kimchi and soybean paste.
As soon as the car turned around the corner, a man in a robe jumped out into the middle of the road.
“Help me too.”
As if he had been bitten by a zombie, he was covering his neck with his right hand, and his robe was stained red from the blood that flowed from his neck.
＜Hypnosis＞
*Kim Sang-tae Lv 2
[Rating]: Advanced.
[Occupation]: Monk.
[Skill]: Exorcism (Normal)
[Note]: Infected by vampires.
-Scheduled time to transform: 5 minutes.
There is only a 5% chance of being bitten by a zombie before a wave and becoming a zombie. So the government can stop it.
‘You’re really unlucky.’
When I got out of the car, a monk approached me.
“Thank you. lord.”
A monk who bows his head to me with palms together.
“Thank you, Buddha. You are the Awakened, right?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“I thought so. Because he is unscathed in this cursed mountain.”
The monk lowered his hand around his neck and continued.
“As you can see, I was bitten by a zombie. Maybe soon you will become a zombie. So please kill me before I do.”
The eyes of the monk who begged me to die were unwavering and calm.
“If you think this is an unreasonable request, you don’t have to listen.”
The monk’s gaze turned to the homie. He was probably thinking of killing himself with that.
Just as suicide is forbidden in Christianity, so is it in Buddhism. Maybe that’s why, unlike his eyes, the monk’s hand holding the hoe was shaking.
If it were a zombie, he would have killed it without hesitation, but the monk in front of him would soon become a zombie, but now he is a human.
“I will do your favor.”
Even so, I had no choice but to accept the monk’s request.
“Thank you. lord.”
If an Awakener is bitten by a zombie, it becomes a zombie of that level.
If the monk takes his own life too late and turns into a zombie, many people around my fortress will die.
My body began to tremble little by little with guilt at the thought of having to kill a person who wasn’t a monster.
‘Should be.’
The monk sat down on the floor and began to recite Buddhist sutras.
“All right. Please, sir.”
The monk closed his eyes. The right hand holding the spear trembled violently, and he grabbed it with his left hand.
‘You mustn’t make a mistake.’
At least to send them away without any pain. After taking a deep breath, I grabbed my trembling hands with both hands and threw out the spear.
hooked!
The guilt passed through the tip of the spear to the fingertips.
“Thank you. lord.”
fluff.
The monk fell to the floor and green essence fell to the floor.
I stood there for a while, unable to move, and Ilena kept me around.
＜Hye-Eun＞ was both a blessing and a curse. You can figure out the other person’s tendency, and even know the infection status and the time it takes to turn into a zombie.
‘But no one else knows.’
In the future, I will continue to kill people who are infected, and that person will be someone’s family.
Even if you kill me as a zombie, you will hear resentment, but if you kill me right before you change, you will hear even greater resentment and curses, but I will do that.
Only then will I be able to protect my comrades and summons that will arise in the future. I just hope that there is no one like that among my acquaintances.
“Let’s go.”
Caught up in the emotions.
“Master, are you okay?”
“yes. I’m fine now.”
As we drove down the acidic castle, a barricade and a soldier with a gun stopped us.
“Stop, if you don’t stop, I will shoot you!”
I stopped the car.
“Both of you, put your hands on top of your head and get out of the car.”
