Episode 320
The change did not end with the detached body being reattached.
The skull with its eyes darkened moved down one space, and a new skull appeared in its place.
And the newly sprouted skull’s eyes flashed again.
But this time, the light coming from the eyes was yellow, unlike the blue light from the skull below.
– Hooooo… … .
With a deep exhalation, a puff of ashen smoke, like tobacco smoke, blew out of his mouth.
At the same time, his name card changed.
– Skeleton Lich Poyden Lv.265
Skeleton Lich Poyden.
That was the changed name.
The reason why his name was changed from Poid to Poyden was because, as the system notification said, he was a second personality.
Suho narrowed his eyes.
‘Then I guess I just need to get one more out.’
The name of the Logan Hell Gate is the Rulers of the Throne.
The reason why they are not the rulers of the throne but rather the rulers themselves is because the boss monster here, the Skeleton Lich, is not a single entity but rather a fusion of three souls.
The first batter and the third person, Foyd.
The second and second generation, Poyden.
The third and first generation, Poidin.
This is the true identity of the rulers of the throne.
According to the report, they are not brothers, but rather a three-generation father-son relationship, inheriting the lineage from grandfather to father and son.
That’s why Foyd, the first batter and grandson, was the weakest.
Poyden, who had been belching ash-colored smoke like cigarette smoke, finally opened his mouth.
– You’re such a stupid son… … .
A voice that seemed to echo throughout the cave.
It was a voice even lower and more chilling than Poid’s.
And it starts with blame.
As written in the report, they were indeed father and son.
He said with his characteristic yellow eyes shining.
– You can’t even handle a guy like me, so you called me out…
His voice, which sounded like scraping iron, had the power to send goosebumps down the spines of ordinary people.
But the fear doesn’t work on Suho.
Suho said.
“Is that all your impressions?”
– It’s noisy!!
[Skeleton Lich Poiden uses boss monster-level peer.]
[Hemorrhage is activated.]
[ Fear is not applied due to the dragon spirit effect of Dragon Blood . ]
A booming voice.
A boss monster-level fear is immediately activated.
But this also doesn’t work on Suho.
Suho immediately prepared for the next attack.
– What a ridiculous guy.
Poyden, who confirmed that his peers were not working, also prepared for the next step.
[Skeleton Lich Poyden uses Descent of the Dead.]
The descent of the dead.
It’s only one letter different from the reincarnation of the dead that Poid wrote.
However, despite only having one letter different, the beings he summoned were far more powerful than the previous skeleton guards.
– Poyden’s Skeleton Knight Lv.242
– Poyden’s Skeleton Knight Lv.240
– Poyden’s Skeleton Knight Lv.241
– Poyden’s Skeleton Knight Lv.243
… …
That’s because it was a whopping 10 levels higher.
He’s not even a guard, he’s a knight.
This was clearly a big difference.
If the guards were ordinary soldiers, then knight meant a knight.
That’s why the Skeleton Knights had different equipment and physical characteristics, including their size.
Even though it’s clearly a skeleton made of bones.
But it doesn’t matter.
If you get in my way, I’ll cut you off.
That’s all.
Even though the level was a bit low, it wasn’t that the stats or skills were lacking.
Suho used an additional skill before rushing at the Skeleton Knights.
[ Activates the skill saved in Memorize. ]
The skill that was activated is Memorize.
The skill to be used is, of course, weakened.
Suho used Weakness on Poyden, who was floating in the air from afar.

[ Weakness is activated . ]
Flash!
As the weakening was activated, Poyden’s body glowed with a unique effect.
Then the corners of Poyden’s mouth went up.
– You know how to show off your skills on the topic of temple dogs.
“Can you solve that trick?”
– Huh! What a curse!
Hwaaaaak!
Poyden’s body lights up brightly with a snort.
however.
– … … ?
Poyden with a question mark on his face.
He narrowed his eyes once again and brightened his body.
– … … .
But nothing happened.
In that brief silence, Poyden spoke in a nonchalant voice.
– … … I don’t really care about that kind of thing. Your attacks will never reach me anyway.
As soon as he finished speaking, Poyden’s purple staff flashed.
[Skeleton Lich Poyden uses a black barrier.]
A black, translucent shield that is placed over his body along with the spell.
Suho clicked his tongue at the sight.
“Idiot.”
To be honest, I thought I might be able to solve it.
Because the guy was a lich who entered the second phase.
But it seems that Suho’s magical power level is higher.
‘This is why stats are important.’
Level is important, but what really matters are stats.
That’s why Suho is obsessed with stats.
For Suho, level was like the minimum qualification to use the system.
Soon, hundreds of skeleton knights begin to rush towards Suho.
“Grrrrrrrrrrr!!”
The skeleton knights howl.
The howling produced by those without vocal cords is more bizarre than it sounds.
But Suho didn’t care at all and used Heat Blast.
[ Heat storm is activated . ]
Hwa hwa hwa hwa!!
A heat storm that spews out a lot of blue colored magic power.
This time again, the wind pressure and firepower were tremendous, forcing the Skeleton Knights back.
But unlike the stupid Poid, Poyden did not just sit by and watch such behavior.
[Skeleton Lich Poyden uses Black Field.]
As the Black Field was activated, the battlefield floor turned black, and even the skeleton knights standing on it turned black.
Then, the black skeleton knights, dyed black, no longer succumbed to the heat storm and stood their ground stubbornly.
“oh?”
Suho’s mouth pursed at the sight.
“But what are you going to do if you just stand there?”
[ The renewal notice is activated. ]
Suho ran between the skeleton knights, still maintaining his heat storm.
Black Field definitely seemed like a good buff skill.
Because it also strengthens the undead in the range type.
But it keeps it in place and doesn’t get blown away by the heat storm.
That was it.
Suho approached Poyden, passing the skeleton knights alone like a tagger in a game of tag that children used to enjoy in the old days.
A panicked Poyden summoned and unleashed several offensive black magic spells, but unfortunately none of them reached Suho.
“It’s completely different from what I saw in the report.”
– what?
“I don’t know.”
After finishing his answer, Suho jumped right away.
The Blue-tier strength made Suho’s leaps comparable to pole vaulting.
Poyden was not surprised and calmly soared into the air.
So Suho also used the double jump once more to catch up.
However, Poyden rose even higher as if he had expected that.
– You idiot! I don’t know how you can soar through the air, but we share a common vision!
“know.”
– What?
“I know.”
Are you sure you can’t expect that, since you’re stuck to my body like Cerberus?
These are facts that can be easily inferred without even reading the report.
So he summoned the ghost spear and threw it upward.
[ The spear is activated . ]
The ghost wearing a spear shoots out quickly.
And surprisingly, the bullet hit Poyden’s body.
But it only touched and did not cause any physical damage.
Since its body was made of ash-colored smoke to begin with, striking its skull or a staff would have been a problem, but striking its fluttering flesh would have had no effect.
– You idiot!
Poyden laughs at Suho’s actions.
At that moment, a guardian appeared at the location where the ghost spear had passed through Poyden.
[ Shadow movement is activated . ]
“Idiot.”
Suho clicked his tongue briefly and swung his sword.
[ Steel Cutter is activated . ]
[ Reinforcement is applied . ]
[ The power of steel cutting becomes even stronger . ]
I’m going crazy!!
A steel cleaver enchanted with Holy Enchantment strikes Poyden’s Black Barrier.
A strong spark flew between the sword and the shield, creating a feeling of heat.
Under the intense flames, Poyden laughed at Suho once more.
– You idiot! This isn’t a barrier that you can break!
bang!!
The energy condensed from the intense collision eventually caused an explosion.
Suho used the recoil of the explosion to fly upward once more.
‘I thought it wouldn’t be possible to cut through it even with a reinforced steel cutter that’s been enchanted with Holy.’
Then we have to use a different number.
Suho took aim as he was floating in the air.
Poyden, seeing that sight, summons attack magic once again.
– Die!
A large number of summoned attack magic spells are fired towards the guardian.
Suho concentrated until the end.
And at the moment when his concentration reached its peak, Suho summoned a clone soldier at his feet.
Then, using the clone as a springboard, he quickly shot out towards Poyden.
Kwakwakwang!!
The injected black magic strikes the guardian’s clone soldiers.
The real guardian had already left there.
Poyden saw the whole process.
Also, fake clones are created.
Stepping on it and having it shot at you.
Even your own attacks can reach your fake clones.
And to avoid those attacks, Suho gets closer to himself.
But it couldn’t be avoided.
The series of actions proceeded so smoothly that I couldn’t find the time to perform an evasive maneuver.
That’s okay though.
The Black Barrier, which has been passed down for three generations, will protect you no matter what happens.
As his thoughts reached that point, the sacred, shining sword of protection shot out towards him.
– You idiot! It was just proven a moment ago that your attacks are ineffective… …!
derision.
But the words did not last long.
Crunch!
The sword is swung.
White and red trails.
It clearly reached the black barrier.
But it didn’t reach.
It passed through his black barrier and blasted into his skull.
It wasn’t a mistake.
Because the divine blow transmitted a burning sensation as it touched the skull.
[Heart attack is activated.]
[ Reinforcement is applied . ]
[ The power of the heart attack becomes even stronger . ]
The corners of Suho’s mouth go up when he sees the system notification.
If the shield is too thick, you can just not hit it.
Suho’s black guy’s skull was cleanly split in half.
Then a huge explosion occurred inside the Black Barrier.
Phew!!
However, despite the fact that it was clearly a huge explosion, Poyden’s explosion did not cause any damage to the surrounding area.
It was because of the black barrier he created.
Suho, who succeeded in killing him with one blow, turned around and fell down.
He said this with a rather satisfied smile.
And at that moment.
Whioooo!
Suddenly a strong wind begins to blow.
At the same time, the most powerful magical power that had ever exploded since setting foot on the Dorima Kingdom began to gather towards Black Barrier.
Suho knew exactly what that meant.
[ Skeleton Lich Poyden summons his third personality . ]
Notifications from the system.
It was finally the moment when the final Lich appeared.
