Chapter 115

Episode 115.

“What does a residential area mean?”

“We’ll find out about that now.”

He also remembered the message he got when he received the Sense of the Dragon; his chaos tail grew four levels, and a new facility in the Ant Cave was opened. But he didn’t expect the rest of the conditions to be fulfilled right now.

“Is it because…”

Jung Si-woo looked at Beto, the young blonde boy lying on the floor. Was it because he saved his life? So, if he worked in a volunteer organization in the future, would he be able to acquire additional Ant Cave facilities?

‘That can’t be right.’

Jung Si-woo decided to approach from a different perspective. It wasn’t the act of saving a boy, but the boy, who had become normal due to his actions, could exist in the resting place of an Ant Cave. He seriously pondered what it meant.

“…So we’re allowed to bring outsiders here?”

“Aren’t only the supporters allowed inside of the resting place?”

“It used to be…yeah, that’s a little strange.”

Jung Si-woo reviewed his ability and flow of mana of the resting place then quickly came up with a conclusion. But then it was a matter of how the boy was able to get in here. And in this case, the reason wasn’t because the boy was asleep in a black coffin when he first entered.

“In other words.”

Jung Si-woo finally revealed the boy’s biggest characteristic.

“You can bring humans from other worlds. That’s how the rest of the conditions are achieved.”

“Oh…maybe that’s true.”

It was a very convincing reason. In fact, the message also referred to the word ‘residential area’. Residential? Jung Si-woo didn’t need a separate area because he had the resting place. It was clear that it was an area for someone other than him, for human beings of other worlds.

“I can see the purpose of this Ant Cave…”

“I still don’t get it.”

“I don’t intend to do whatever they want, especially when I don’t know who they are.”

Still, Jung Si-woo was quite proud that he was able to save a child who wasn’t contaminated by god in a different world where everything was moving at that god’s will. He let out a sigh and nodded firmly.

“Open.”

[Residential area is open. As the resting place, it is possible to expand by consuming charged beads.]

The opening of the residential area didn’t make a significant change in the resting place. There was only a larger wooden door next to the entrance of the resting place. Jung Si-woo tried to approach it immediately, but he stopped when he saw Beto, who was still out of his mind.

“I think it’s a place for him, so I’ll wake him up and take him with me.”

[Hey, hey.]

“Call me master.”

[Master.]

She was very submissive!

[I want a body. I don’t care if it’s undead. I just want to let Beto know that I exist. Master, please give me a body.]

“You…”

According to Jung Si-woo’s conclusion and confirmed by Setnak, Beache today was only a strong collection of will left after her death, unlike Beache in her lifetime, but that didn’t deny that she was Beto’s sister. There was just something he had to let her know.

“There’s a possibility that Beto himself will be afraid of you. I mean, maybe it’s better to stay invisible and watch him. It’ll be better that way for you and Beto.”

[That’s…]

Jung Si-woo’s words were kind but straight to the point. In a world with only the undead left, the siblings had to rely only on each other until the very end. However, if his sister appeared as an undead, it would be natural for him to be scared.

[Still…I want to touch him.]

“Is that so?”

Jung Si-woo acknowledged her. Even if Beto thought of her just half as much as she did of him, both would surely be satisfied. Jung Si-woo would also be able to learn more about what the soul was by observing them.

‘There’s a chance it could all end up in a mess.’

He didn’t have to say out loud what he had thought. Jung Si-woo picked up Beto, who still only coughed out, and laid him down on the bed as urgently as possible. He took Beache to the kitchen because she was staring at him.

“It probably won’t take long. Let’s get back before he wakes up.”

[Is it that simple…?]

“Yes.”

It was there. An all-around furnace could make anything when the ingredients were ready…no, actually, it was a cutting board.

[All the materials that can be processed are gathered.]

[Fresh Strong Body 1,956/500kg]

[Materials 14,904/2,500kg]

[Strong Soul 1/1]

[Death Knight Caina’s Core 1/1]

[Finishing Material 5,819/200kg]

[After placing all materials on the cutting board, the processing will start. The more finishing materials you place, the higher the completion.]

[Can this really make the Death Knight complete? …Master?]

“Oh, you’ve been deceived until now.”

In fact, if Jung Si-woo showed this to himself, he wouldn’t believe it. Beache looked very uncomfortable, but she was forced to take the initiative and went on top of the huge cutting board. Jung Si-woo put all the necessary ingredients around her. For the Fresh Strong Body, he put the head of the dead Luinos Lizard that was killed today. Since the strength and record of the body were what was important, it didn’t matter if it was just the head. Perhaps it was no exaggeration to say that it was the best material available on earth now.

At first, he thought about putting the huge neck on the cutting board, but fortunately, as soon as the tip touched the cutting board, it naturally shrunk to the right size. Jung Si-woo thought for a moment while looking at the head of the Luinos Lizard’s baby that was sitting perfectly on the cutting board.

“The mana stone…should we leave it as is? It’ll strengthen the Death Knight’s ability anyway.”

“Oppa, with that mana stone, your mana would go up by at least ten.”

“The Death Knight is important for that reason, but…now I’m able to grow my mana faster than ever before.”

After Jung Si-woo gained Sense of the Dragon, he could suck in the world’s mana more intensely than he had before. Even if he just breathed, he thought that his mana would increase about one per day. After realizing it, he felt strongly that he wanted to use the mana stone, which was processed differently from the mana of nature, for a more practical purpose.

“And then the finishing touches.”

The ingredients were very good early on. It was from the monsters they encountered at the Grand Canyon! He took everything out of the inventory and finally raised the core of the Death Knight Caina.

“I’ll tell you in advance, but you won’t look like yourself from before.”

[I’m already prepared.]

Caina’s head, with her blank purple eyes open, and her silvery wavy hair, created a very dreamy atmosphere. As it was literally the core of Death Knight, it was highly likely that the external element would be tailored to Caina, not Beache.

“Okay, let’s get started.”

At the same time, as Jung Si-woo nodded, a dazzling light rose from the cutting board. All the materials were quickly sucked into Caina’s core, losing its form in an instant and turning into just pure light.

“The birth of the Death Knight is incredible, but…Oppa.”

The overwhelming torrent of mana! Soo Ah-rin asked, dimly sensing the shape of the new undead being in it.

“I don’t feel much mana of death.”

“You’re probably confused about the mana of death being Setnak’s. But we don’t have to turn our best allies into Setnak’s servant. The Death Knight I’m creating now is just a moving knight that returned from death.”

“Well, I don’t know about that.”

Jung Si-woo decided to give an intuitive explanation.

“It’s not a Death Knight created by Setnak. It’s a Death Knight created by my hands. It’s the difference between NongShiX Choco Pie and LottX Choco Pie…maybe.”

“That’s very intuitive.”

Since the soul of the ghost moved into the dead body, could we not call it undead? Using the two to create a whole new life would be an achievement that even Setnak couldn’t accomplish. So it was definitely an undead that was being born now. They hoped that’s what would happen.

“It does have a unique look.”

“I know.”

The creation of Death Knight was carried out under the light as if a magic girl were transforming. However, it was vague to see the Luinos Lizard’s head divided into bones, muscles, flesh, blood, and skin, then process under the influence of mana from Caina’s core.

“Ah, ahhh.”

Thousands of kilograms of flesh were constantly compressed, eventually becoming human sized and combining with Caina’s core. Then Beache’s soul was sucked into it without any time to resist.

“Oh, Oppa. Close your eyes.”

“Oh, it’s something really weird.”

After that, a full-fledged transformation began, and a body of a woman was created. However, they didn’t know if it was Caina or Beache. Jung Si-woo was confident he could see a dead body in peace, but the problem was that the pale, white skin and feminine body that gradually appeared beyond the light were too humanlike. Of course, Jung Si-woo didn’t think it was a problem, but Soo Ah-rin thought differently. She quickly reached out her hand to cover Jung Si-woo’s eyes. Anyway, he thought it was cute.

[Whoa…haaaaaaaaaa…]

While Jung Si-woo was quietly closing his eyes, the body’s formation was completed, and all the remaining materials were attached to her body, and the making of the armor began. Of course, the Death Knight’s body was already strong, but the armor with mana was the Death Knight’s necessary armament!

“It’s done, right?

“Oh, just a little bit, ahh.”

“Huh? …Yes!”

Jung Si-woo watched the scene after moving Soo Ah-rin’s hand. He remembered Beache’s sword, which he had put in his inventory, and immediately took it out and threw it into the light. Fortunately, the sword integrated in smoothly.

“Oh, I think her face is changing, too.”

“Right.”

Many things hadn’t changed. The long silvery hair and purple eyes still remained. However, the eyes changed a little sharper, the neck became a little longer, and the nose elongated slightly. The moment her eyes were in focus, the armor gently covered them and formed a helmet. Then, after completing the change with the armor, she grabbed the sword that naturally rose in front of her, and her arms were covered with armor.

[Whooo.]

That was the end of the whole change. She walked herself down from the cutting board and faced Jung Si-woo. She was convinced by the sharpness she felt that she was stronger than she was when she was Setnak’s Death Knight.

[It…really worked. But, Master.]

She raised the visor of the helmet and showed her face, smiling dumbly.

[That’s why I’m anti-living. I’m not a Death Knight or a human being, but something in the middle.]

“Her heart isn’t beating.”

[But instead of the heart of the living, the mana core in my heart is creating and circulating blood which contains mana…it amplifies in response to my whole body. It’s neither a god’s nor a man’s body. You know, Master?]

Jung Si-woo somehow seemed to know her answer.

[This is the way of the dragon. I’m not a Death Knight now. If I have to say…yes, a Dragon Knight.]

“Oppa, you said she was going to turn out like LottX Choco Pie…?”

“…Sorry.”

He thought it was going to be a choco pie, and the result was even better; she was a Mon Cher.

**Translators note – NongShiX Choco Pie, LottX Choco Pie, and Mon Cher – all Korean snacks.
