There were many small volcanoes here in Vulcan where lava boiled and volcanoes kept erupting. There was an active volcano in the crevice, but few people knew the secret of this volcano that looked like it would erupt at any moment. However, I knew the real secret hidden here.
“Send-off Volcano.”
“The name is very unusual.”
Park Muyeol cocked his head curiously and looked at the Send-off Volcano right in front of him. He wasn’t even watching the magma wolf snarling in front of him as he crushed it with a single blow. I glanced at him and gave an explanation, “It means fire is being sent off, but in fact, the fire is actually the soul.”
“So the soul is being sent off?”
“Exactly."
“It is too difficult.”
Park Muyeol still didn’t understand so I decided to explain it in a simple manner. Meanwhile, the magma wolf’s head burst and it became experience. “Where do you go if you die and become a soul?”
“Where would I go?”
“It is here.”
“What? So this is the Underworld?”
I nodded to confirm it.
At the same time, Park Muyeol paled. “I don’t want to high-five with the grim reaper just yet.”
“Who taught you the word high-five?”
“You are ignorant. Don’t you know about high-five? Seongchan told me.”
“No, I know...” I tried to explain that I wasn’t ignorant, but then I felt angry. I got furious just hearing it. I was ignorant? Damn bastard.
“Hehe. Then you aren’t ignorant.” Park Muyeol laughed as he dodged my foot that was trying to kick his ass.
My face trembled like lava. It looked like an active volcano just before an eruption.
“Tsk tsk. In any case, you are hot-tempered.”
Park Muyeol clicked his tongue as he looked at me. I pursed my lips and complained, “That would be you, not me.”
“In any case, are we going there? The Underworld?”
Park Muyeol held the white wooden sword with pink flowers on it and gestured to the Send-off Volcano with his chin. I shook my head. We would really die like a dog if we went there now. It was because a real three-headed dog was guarding the entrance. It was also incredibly strong.
“No, let’s just hunt around the mountain. It is good currently. We can’t go into that place yet, or we will die.”
The Send-off Volcano was in the center with six small volcanoes scattered around it. The six volcanoes were evenly distributed around the Send-off Volcano and there were many different types of monsters. In short, it was a high level hunting ground. I ordered, “Let’s go.”
“Hmm. I’d like to go in there.”
“Don’t do it. Follow me.”
I walked leisurely toward one of the monsters.

There were many guilds in Arkstar—there were more than one hundred famous top guilds, and it was more than 1,000 if the middle and low ranking guilds were included. Many dreamed of joining the top guilds, but they needed the skill to do so. Currently, there was a guild present in Vulcan that made it to the top despite having very few people.
This guild was called Death Scent. Their number might be small, but they exerted strong power because they were only made up of necromancers. They led the endlessly resurrected undead to sweep through the monsters. Then they used all types of death magic in the rear to kill the monsters.
The name of the one who directed them was ‘Nekron’ and he was literally a one-man army. He was the leader of Death Scent and the pioneer who was ranked first in the necromancer rankings.
“Huhu. Good, very good. I’m very satisfied with such a hunting ground.”
Nekron stroked the skull of a skeleton standing next to him. The skeleton banged its teeth together like it was in a good mood and pulled out one of its rib bones to give to Nekron. Nekron looked at the skeleton with satisfaction and made it a death knight using magic.
The other necromancers who saw it felt admiration.
“He is truly the first ranked necromancer.”
“Death magic is so freely used.”
“Huhu. No one will stop our Death Scent.”
Nekron smiled in a sinister manner when he saw the fawning guild members. He knew it was just verbal flattery but he couldn’t help feeling good. “Huhu. If you have finished resting then get up. For death.”
“For death.”
“For death.”
The guild members all shouted the same slogan and moved their dead army. It was the unique fighting slogan of Death Scent. There was the feeling of being a chuuni, but wasn’t this a necromancer’s charm?
“Kuwoooook!”
“Accept the domination of death.”
“Come with us.”
The skeletons ran and clung onto the magma golems. There was no way for the magma golems to stop the army of death who didn’t feel the heat. The death knights on horses stabbed the golem’s legs while the arrows of the skeleton archers attacked the nucleus of the magma golems. Additionally, Nekron was the only one with a lich.
“Die!”
The pale lich cried out and black thunderbolts poured toward the magma golem. More than a dozen magma golems collapsed in an instant, revealing their nucleus. Nekron didn’t miss this opportunity.
“Aim for the nucleus.”
At his gesture, the other necromancers nodded and attacked the nucleus. The magma golems were cleaned up in a flash and their fragments were strewn around.
“Go. Wipe them all out.”
Now Nekron pointed to the lava snails and magma wolves. There were also the lava drakes. Nekron smiled at the satisfying prey. He would be able to level up in an instant if this continued and he believed that fighting the Zeus Guild wouldn’t just be a dream.
The moment he wanted to move, there was a sudden explosion from far away. Everyone’s eyes turned in that direction and Nekron also looked over with a frown.
‘No, did someone other than us find this place?’
An uncomfortable feeling pricked a corner of Nekron’s heart. If it was a force on the level of a guild, then he would have to split this golden goose hunting ground in half. Nekron hated it. However, the goddess of luck was on their side.
“What? There are only two of them?”
Nekron smiled and gave an order to once again rush over. Thousands of undead started to run toward them.

Park Muyeol and I didn’t know how much time passed. We just fell into a trance as we hunted. The more annoying thing was that Park Muyeol’s hunting speed was faster than mine. It was disadvantageous for me since I used the flames of Rising Sun while Park Muyeol suppressed them with his attributeless power.
Park Muyeol was unaware of this and teased me with a laugh, “You are weak.Aish. Weak guy.”
“......”
I didn’t say anything. I knew I would just be ridiculed even more if I was caught up in it. It would be better to endure it.
Park Muyeol continued, “Sure enough, you’re not as good as me.”
“......”
“Why aren’t you saying anything? Do you have nothing to say? Yes. How strong is this body? You don’t have anything to say. Why don’t you stop being lazy? Hey, are there no cigarettes? Aren’t you smoking?”
Ah, should I just get rid of him? For a moment, I wanted to kill Park Muyeol and hunt them alone. Then I quickly shook my head. Anyone who did that to this guy would be chased to the ends of the earth. I pulled out a cigarette and handed it to Park Muyeol. “Here.”
“What about the fire?”
“There’s lava.”
“Ah, that's right.” Park Muyeol placed the cigarette on the nearby lava rock before starting to smoke. I didn’t care if I touched the lava so I scooped up the lava with my hands and lit it. Just then, I heard the sound of the earth shaking. It was a very fine and nearly inaudible shaking, but I was able to catch it with my super sensitivity. I exhaled the cigarette smoke and expanded my vision around us. There was a group of people in black coming from a distance.
“What? They are?”
Park Muyeol heard my words and asked, “Why? What is it? Do you see something?”
Park Muyeol frowned and followed the direction of my gaze, but he couldn’t see anything.
I told him, “Be prepared. It seems to be the enemy.”
“The enemy? Monsters?”
“No, they look like users.”
I immediately changed my face to Dark Wolf’s appearance to hide my identity. I waited for them with folded arms. Park Muyeol stood next to me with suspicious eyes. Then after a while, Park Muyeol could also feel the vibrations from the ground. There was an army running this way and causing dust to be blown up.
“W-What? Why are there so many?”
I replied, “I don’t know.”
“Why don’t you know? Don’t you know a lot more than me?”
“I’m not a god. How can I know everything~?”
Park Muyeol was holding his wooden sword. He seemed to instinctively sense that it was more dangerous than he had thought. The group of undead stopped and someone appeared from among them.
“What? You are Dark Wolf?” The damn man stared at me with surprise.
I felt unpleasant so I asked for his name, “You should introduce yourself first. Why are you blocking us?”
“Huhu. You don’t know me, the first on the necromancer rankings. You truly are Dark Wolf. My name is Nekron.”
Across from me, Nekron smiled sarcastically as he revealed his name. I didn’t know the necromancer class, but I probably had a rough idea. He was the one who led the undead. I remembered Pluto’s army of death that Prometheus once showed me. This one wasn’t as good as that time, but the feeling was similar. Maybe it would be a tough fight. Dealing with an army with large numbers was a very difficult task for my current self.
There was an attribute problem and I wasn’t invincible even if Park Muyeol was present. We still had low levels and we didn’t even have Solar. Punghee and Chunza also couldn’t come here.
“Huhu. How interesting. I think it will be very interesting to do a live broadcast of Dark Wolf’s death.” Nekron started to manipulate something in the air. Moments later, Nekron smiled and stretched out his staff. The goal was naturally us.
“Be our sacrifice, Dark Wolf.”
Thousands of undead started to rush toward us.
