Necromancer’s Evolutionary Traits Chapter 349

[ Episode 349. White Knight of Conquest ]

Even before they arrived at the Palesco Plain, the southern part of the empire was already dotted with the energy of war. Evacuation processions could be seen everywhere we passed, and the landscape of what used to be a city turned into a fortress was desolate.

“Strange.”

While walking away from the evacuation procession, Vivian muttered.

“The soldiers are running away too.”

“I see.”

Why do bad premonitions always go wrong? I could see the flag bearing the coat of arms of the nobility flying, but they were heading towards the rear, not the front.

“We’ve decided to meet Evan’s subordinates in a city near the Perisco Plain, so we’ll hear what happened then.”

No matter what you hear, it seems that the article of the Apocalypse has already come out.

‘I have to hurry.’

The Plain of Palesco, where the first Apocalypse Knight appeared, was no ordinary plain. To be precise, the families nearby were special.

The most famous families in the southern part of the Empire were those of Serena and Chris. In the game, the outpost of the destruction-level episode that occurred near the two families felt natural, but now that it has become a reality, should I say that it is too cunning?

“Let’s go a little faster.”

I quickly drove the horse I was riding on and ran.

Luna was riding behind me, and Vivian quietly followed my pace.

“friend! Who is coming?”

As we went in the opposite direction of the evacuation procession, we were deliberately moving away from a distance, but as Luna said, someone was approaching on horseback.

“Stop! Where are you heading?”

It was a knight wearing armor with the pattern of a noble family. There were so many aristocratic families, so I couldn’t confirm where they belonged, but I don’t think there’s a need to know.

“We are going to the Palesco Plain.”

“Palesco! Are they mercenaries?”

“That’s right.”

“Then it is good to go back. They won’t be recruiting any more mercenaries anyway.”

A wide-ranging knight.

He didn’t seem to recognize me, but I thought I’d get some information before I even met Evan’s men.

“What’s going on?”

“A monster has appeared. But it’s no ordinary monster at all.”

The article explained the characteristics of the monster roughly, saying that he had never actually seen it and had only heard about it.

“I heard that it shoots unknown arrows with a huge bow, and the size is the size of a palace pillar. Its body does not use swords or magic and even spreads poison, but it looks like a giant knight riding a white horse.”

To be precise, it was not poison, but plague.

A white knight of conquest who spreads plague.

It came out unexpectedly.

If it’s fortunate, I wonder if he’s just been summoned. If he had come out of Portion a little late, he wouldn’t have been able to use his hands.

“It’s the first monster I’ve ever heard of.”

“As a result of reporting to the upper level, the Supermen are going out directly, so the war has stopped for a while and everyone is retreating. So you guys can go back.”

“Thanks for the advice.”

The knight waved my thanks and rejoined the procession. Anyway, it’s certain that the Knight of the Apocalypse has been summoned, so I’ll have to go and deal with it.

“What are you going to do?”

Vivian and Luna, who knew my purpose as Hegel, looked at me.

‘Hegel is also a problem. Come to think of it, if the Knight of the Apocalypse had already been summoned, would Hegel remain on the plains?’

Hagel was also one of the named characters that suddenly disappeared at some point. When I first played the game, I thought he would appear as a chapter boss, but at some point, he suddenly disappeared.

I thought it might be a person who summons the knights of the Apocalypse and disappears.

‘Anyway, my goal is the Knight of the Apocalypse.’

Each of the Knights of the Apocalypse is a boss-level monster, and if all four are summoned, the world will perish. Fortunately, they are summoned in turn, so I only had to deal with the ones summoned first before the four gathered.

“I will go at once. Maybe the monster that appeared has something to do with Hegel.”

“Are you sure! It must be a monster created or summoned by Hegel!”

Luna’s eyes sparkled.

It was to the point where I wondered if he had forgotten what he had experienced in Fortion because he seemed to be expecting rather than feeling danger.

“First, I will go to Erestial.”

I heard from Lewis that both Serena and Chris are in the family. Thinking that maybe I could see them, I accelerated.

**

“I will stay.”

“father!”

In the room where the old castle came and went, all the blood relatives of the Erestial family were gathered. As a family with a long history of swordsmanship, it had many collateral bloodlines, so the room was full of people.

“I say it again, as the head of Erestial, I cannot abandon this land. Stop arguing and leave.”

“Uncle, father, please convince me. Everyone will die like this.”

Dru Erestial, the younger brother of Marquis Erestial and the leader of the knights, looked at his older brother with a troubled look on his nephew’s request.

“Brother…….”

“Who is your brother! He told me to go ahead and take these guys. Are you going to disobey the head of the household?”

“Youngji can come back later and restore it again. It’s just one monster. Superhumans will soon gather and subdue, so if you think that we will take a short break until then…” “

This is nonsense! Don’t you know what time it is? Until a few days ago, there was a bloody battlefield in front of me. After we leave, will the Confederacy just watch?”

“Hasn’t the Confederate backed down now because of that monster! Stop being stubborn.”

“How dare you give orders to the owner of the house!”

People’s faces gradually rotted in the seemingly never-ending quarrel. Even if they ran away right away, only time was gradually burning in an urgent situation.

bang!

“dismissal! It’s a report that a monster is heading north toward the territory!”

“Did you hear? Come on, leave me alone! And when I die, the successor will be Tommy, the firstborn.”

“older brother!”

With no more time left, Drew had no choice but to make a decision.

“All right. If so, I will take you with me.”

“Uncle!”

Drew ignored the words of his nephews and immediately ordered the knights with him.

“We put the highest priority on escorting the blood and relatives of the head of household. leave immediately.”

“yes!”

The collateral bloodlines, who finally had a reason to leave at his command, began to leave the room in a hurry with their colors flashing.

“Come on, let’s go.”

“No, uncle. I cannot leave my father behind!”

“So you’re saying you’re going to stay and die as well?”

“…….”

“It is a monster that has killed hundreds and thousands of soldiers alone. Doesn’t that mean you can survive and take care of such a monster?”

At Drew’s words, the eldest son, who kept begging, was speechless. I’ve already tried all kinds of means to kill the monster that suddenly appeared for the past few days, but it was impossible.

None of the people present were unaware of that fact.

“I will stay too.”

Then, Serena, who had been quietly watching until now, stepped out.

“Serena, now is not the time to be stubborn like that.”

“It wasn’t stubbornness, it was a readiness for death.”

Drew’s eyebrows furrowed at Serena’s words.

The youngest daughter, Serena, who had the most similar personality to Marquis Erestial, was a difficult opponent for him to convince.

“Then I will stay.”

“me too……!”

Soon, when the marquis’ children said they would all stay behind her, Drew couldn’t help but vent her anger.

“These fools! Didn’t it sound ridiculous to say that you would die a dog if you just stayed there!”

Serena calmly responded to Drew’s words.

“We are the descendants of the Erestial. You dare not show your back in front of the enemy. If you run away even once, it will remain as an indelible shame.”

“You can feel that shame only if you survive. If honor is preserved after death, do you think that has meaning!”

“A nobleman without honor is no nobleman.”

Dru finally shook his head at the words that showed his pride as a descendant of a prestigious family.

“Did you see these stupid guys? Vice-captain!”

“Yes, Captain.”

“Leave us and go by yourselves.”

“yes?”

“I won’t say it twice. You escort the personnel escaping from here. keep in mind This is a mission, not an escape.”

At Drew’s words, the vice-captain of the Knights lowered his head with a face of dismay.

“Your Excellency, Captain Drew. I will definitely do my mission and come back.”

“When you return, bring superhumans with you. Are you going to die too?”

Dru sneered, then pushed the vice-captain’s back hard.

“Get out of here!”

Soon, only Marquis Erestial, his younger brother Drew, and their children were left in the room.

“Anyway, this guy’s family is full of muscles up to his head…”

“You don’t have to die, Drew.”

“That mouth is a little small. Do you intend to serve as the head of the household from now on?”

At Drew’s words, Marquis Erestial smiled miserably rather than being angry.

“I’m sorry. I’m sorry everyone.”

“If you know you’re sorry, don’t be stubborn.

Drew’s sarcasm made everyone laugh in the end.

I knew it would be the end soon, but no one wanted to die with a miserable heart.

“Serena, you are killing all these older brothers.”

“Then did you try to live a miserable life?”

“Eh, even if you talk about man, do you say that you can do it pretty until the end. I feel very sorry for this older brother.”

“Okay, get your sword ready. You don’t intend to die here, do you?”

After Serena raised her sword, she quickly left the room. The people who noticed that she was heading for the castle soon followed, armed with arms.

The day was bright.

The rising sun from the left dazzled Serena standing on the castle wall.

‘I didn’t expect it to end like this.’

Serena unknowingly ate and laughed.

If I knew it would end like this, I thought it would have been nice to say hello to Louis, or at least Chris, who was right nearby.

“It’s a pity that you also came back.”

Among the faces that came to mind, I suddenly remembered the figure of a benefactor whom I hadn’t seen in three years.

Many people assumed that he was dead, but he has suddenly returned. Although it was a situation where the empire and pretended to be, it was okay now.

“I should have said thank you…”

Huuuung-

I began to see a huge figure in the distance.

As I had heard, a white knight in the shape of a giant appeared riding a white horse.

It was still so far away that I could barely see the shape, but I felt goosebumps at the energy that I could feel on my skin.

“There’s a reason you called superhumans.”

Marquis Erestial, standing beside Serena, murmured.

“Yes.”

“Don’t you regret it?”

“I am the child who most resembles my father. Would I regret it?”

Serena laughed.

Around her, the rest of the people arrived and watched the dawn break.

“It’s a good time to die.”

“Where is that kind of time, you idiot.”

“what? What is it about talking to your brother?”

“Do you want to be treated like an older brother in a dying situation?”

“You foolish brothers, do you want to come all the way here and fight?”

“Puhahaha!”

After bursting into laughter, the Erestial family looked at the approaching article with serious eyes.

“come!”

“Ohhh!”

The sun is fully open.

At the same time, something strange was caught in their field of vision as they shouted their spirits and burned their fighting spirit.

“What is that?”

And as soon as those words were finished, black wings covered the world.

thud!

“uh?”

“What is this……”

What happened in an instant.

Suddenly, a black winged person and a swordsman with an unusual appearance swung a sword and the giant fell.

“How did this happen…?”

While everyone was panicking, Serena covered her mouth with a hard face in surprise.

‘No way…….’

The black wings disappeared and the one who defeated the giant looked back at the castle wall.

A person thought to be dead.

It was Adrias Cromwell.
