Necromancer’s Evolutionary Traits Chapter 52

Episode 52. A mythical undead

, I immediately snatched the jewel from his hand and asked.

“Where did you get this from?”

“It was something from an auction house.”

“Where is the auction house?”

“Ouch. Port city Muriel!”

I wondered if there was anything more I could ask, but I couldn’t think of anything.

I came in to kill this guy in the first place, because I never dreamed that I would find a fragment of greed.

‘Looking at the debris, it seems to have been scattered into several pieces.’

Still, since I got a clue that it was Muriel Port, I’m sure something will come out if I investigate step by step.

Judging by Lanox’s attitude, he didn’t seem to know that this was related to sin.

It was just that it was hard to give up because the power of greed was imbued with it.

“Buy and live…Grrrr.”

Killed it cleanly though.

It is a response to greed.

I came out along the road again, taking care of the guy’s supply.

Then, he neatly set fire to the inside of Lanox’s dungeon.

‘I’d like to decorate it as if Lanox had moved.’

I had a lot of work to do.

I just need to get rid of any traces like this.

When I came out, there were three Pyo-humans waiting for me.

“You are safe!”

“okay. Here is the head of the warlock I promised with your village chief.”

“Has confirmed. I will take you to the village right away.”

One of the Pyroman tribe received the supply of Lanox and began to walk in front of them triumphantly.

And one of the Pyroman tribes next to me cautiously asked me a question.

“Have you ever seen people with marks like us inside?”

“No.”

I don’t even need to mention the corpses that were being eaten by worms.

You’ll just be shocked.

I felt a little sorry for Pyo-in, who lowered his head as if disappointed by my words, but that was all. I hurriedly moved on.

Upon arriving at the village, there was only an empty village.

Maybe they all ran away, only the village chief and the Pyoin tribe who headed to the village first could be seen.

“Thank you for saving the village from crisis.”

Apparently they didn’t care if I was a necromancer or not.

Certainly, the perception of warlocks is bad for the people of the empire, but in the eyes of the different races, that person and that person would all be the same person.

“The answer is like a fingerprint that appears after completing a quest.”

“yes?”

“no. It is a self-talk.”

As promised, I headed for the cliff.

Fortunately, the Pan-humans didn’t follow me, saying that they shouldn’t interfere with me, and went to call the villagers who had evacuated.

‘This is where the giant sleeps.’

It looked like an ordinary cliff, but if you break it… ….

I summoned Timur again without losing my strength.

“Break it down.”

“Kreung!”

Timur threw his fist back and struck it exactly where I pointed.

Kwak!

The mana-filled fist roared and soon one side of the cliff began to crack.

And once again Timur’s fist pierced, and the cracked cliff collapsed slightly, creating a gap.

‘found.’

I reverse summoned Timur and squeezed through the gap.

Then, there was a huge space inside the cliff, and when it was illuminated with magic, sparkling ores surrounded it on all sides.

‘Lunapalt.’

It was a rare ore that was also processed into jewelry.

It had strength similar to that of steel, but was lighter and more beautiful in appearance, making it one of the most popular ores among nobles.

But it wasn’t because of Lunapalt that he came here.

When I entered the space covered with Lunapalp on all sides, I was able to confirm that a huge statue was standing there.

Its size is approximately 4 to 5 meters.

The statue looked like a hand on a pommel with a huge sword stuck in the ground, and the reason I found it was because of this statue.

‘I was really surprised when I found out that this was not a statue, but the corpse of a real giant.’

At the time, I was just amazed and thought about looking for something else or scratching the Lunapalt.

Honestly, what would you do with a giant’s corpse? I have nowhere to use it.

Of course, it was different now that he became a necromancer.

‘If possible, it’s best to summon it as a Revenant, but it’s a pity that the corpse’s condition is not good.’

In the end, I used the ghoul summon as the next best thing.

[Lesser Necromancer: Summon a ghoul.]

[A corpse is detected.]

A ghoul has a stronger body than a skeleton, but sometimes it has the disadvantage of not obeying commands.

There were times when he prioritized his gluttony over orders, especially because he liked to nibble on something alive.

‘Although his physical ability is overwhelming compared to that of a skeleton, enough to make up for that shortcoming.’

[The caster’s capacity is insufficient.]

[Low necromancer: Failed to summon a ghoul]

I expected it, but it didn’t succeed right away.

But I had no intention of leaving until I made this guy mine.

‘Knowing this, I prepared food in my bag. No matter how many days it takes, I will make them my subordinates and go to Deshurn.’

Absolutely have to succeed.

* * *

In the center of Rodlenn, the capital of the empire, there was an enormous imperial palace.

It is the size of a small city in terms of area alone.

Even in such an imperial palace, the annex that the emperor frequently used was truly a different world that was rare for the royal family.

Lakes decorated as if they were in harmony with nature, ornamental plants that are hard to find in all kinds of demons, trees that bloom all year round, and all kinds of rare herbivores.

The emperor was leisurely drinking tea in that place, which was green regardless of the four seasons.

“Sir Hegel.”

“Did you call? your majesty.”

When the emperor called someone in a place where there was no one but the emperor, an answer came from behind the shadow of the tree.

“Don’t do that there, let’s have a cup of tea.”

“It is an honour.”

The person who appeared was a man wearing a black tuxedo and a bowler hat.

A man with a bizarre tattoo on his face sat across from the emperor, pouring himself a cup of tea and savoring the incense.

“This tea is brewed with durcon, which Jim grew himself next to.”

“I’m sorry.”

The emperor looked closely at Hegel as he took a sip of tea and asked.

“so. How are you today?”

“Recently, the Alven family has been checking in. It doesn’t seem to be united with other families, though.”

“I didn’t ask because I wanted to know. It must mean that there is more important information than that.”

“I found the approximate location of the anger.”

At Hegel’s words, the emperor quietly exclaimed in admiration.

Then, with the corner of his mouth raised, he pressed his face toward Hegel.

“okay. Where is the anger?”

“It’s in the North….”

Hegel stopped talking, then suddenly stopped and tilted his head.

Even though he committed rudeness with a sudden action, the emperor just watched him with a sad face as if this had happened not once or twice.

“I’m sorry. your majesty. Fury is probably located in the land of barbarians.”

“okay? So, when can I get it?”

“I will contact you again within the year.”

“It’s a bit late. i get it. Don’t look forward to it.”

The emperor tapped the sword he always kept by his side and said.

Seeing that, Hegel just smiled and left the emperor’s annex.

As he moved along in the darkness, Hegel was busy thinking about the signal he had just felt.

‘Lanox is dead. Who died?’

The magic planted secretly by the opponent has been broken.

This reaction was one of two, one in case the PCE noticed and got rid of it, and the other in case the PCE died.

However, it was reasonable to assume that he was dead because he would never destroy his own magic at the level of Lanox he had seen last time.

‘I thought he wouldn’t die easily though.’

It didn’t matter.

There are too many words to use anyway.

More than that, he felt even more worthwhile seeing the emperor he had seen for the first time in a while.

I met the emperor about 30 years ago.

The Emperor, who had despised himself at the time, now allowed entry to the outbuildings, which no one was allowed to set foot in.

Of course, there was a lot of effort and effort in the process of changing this far, but I didn’t think it was a waste as the opponent was the emperor of the empire.

‘The sword of arrogance was decisive.’

Humble arrogance, the sword the Emperor always carries.

It was a gift he gave and one of his sins, but it was not a waste at all.

Thanks to this, the emperor’s judgment was clouded, and invisible cracks were forming in the empire.

“I’ll have to save my anger anyway… ….”

Well, thinking of this case, I have prepared several words.

It’s not urgent right now, so take it slow.

* * *

It’s been a week since the giant entered the sleeping place.

Whenever the mana was full, he was using summoning ghouls without rest, but there was still no sign of success.

‘Should I increase my black magic proficiency or evolve my talent?’

At this point, I wondered if it was a waste of time no matter how much I was.

Now that I have to go to Deshurn, every day is a precious situation, but I put effort into something useless, but I also heard questions.

‘no. There will never be a chance to get a giant, an ancient species that is now extinct.’

It was the reason why I couldn’t give up even though I wanted to give up sometimes.

The giant species, which only existed in the old mythical age, was one of the races that disappeared into the dark side of history like dragons.

Still, in the case of dragons, dragon rares and equipment made from dragon materials still remain, whereas traces related to giants are useless compared to their rarity, so many have been abandoned.

Because I invested so much time, it was hard to give up even if I felt sorry for the sunk cost.

The moment when I habitually used magic without thinking about half of it like that.

[Lesser Necromancer: Summon Ghoul is cast.]

[A corpse is detected.]

[Low Necromancer: Summon Ghoul succeeded]

[Summoned a Titan Ghoul (Myth).]

[The level of the raised corpse is excellent. I fly A stat bonus is added.]

[The level of the raised corpse is far superior. Tiers go up. It becomes a champion titan ghoul.]

[The level of the raised corpse is close to Transcendence. You get a little bit of your former self back.]

[It is a mythological undead. It inherits some of its characteristics from when it was alive.]

“Huh?”

I was dumbfounded by such an unexpected success.

does this work?

I haven’t counted all the attempts so far, but I’ve been using the magic for a week, so the success rate is about 0.0001%?

The giant, who had become a ghoul, had muscles and bones left, but the skin was all gone.

Objectively, the appearance of the ghoul was not good to look at, but I felt like my week’s efforts had paid off, so I looked cooler than any other undead.

‘It feels like I got a giant robot that I’ve only seen in cartoons.’

[Champion Titan Ghoul (Myth)]

mythical undead… ….

Even Nickel and Timur were legendary, but they were picked properly.

Somehow it was dirty and couldn’t be summoned, so the level of the corpse must have been too high.

Aside from being a mythic grade, there were unusually many characteristics.

‘Maybe this would have been much more beneficial than Deshurn.’

I didn’t expect to get such a powerful undead, so it felt like I won the lottery ticket I bought without thinking.

It seemed like it would be no exaggeration to say that it would be an exaggeration to call it a one-person party if only the corpse of Mirinae, the remaining Fairy Queen, was used.

But Mirinae should put it on hold until she learns the Ghost-type skills she hasn’t mastered yet.

There was no need to be in a hurry, since learning the black magic book of Morn would give you the skill anyway.

‘It’s not the time to say there’s nothing urgent.’

I was thrilled, and I put the giant right into the subspace along with the sword he was holding.

It’s difficult to name a giant, so I decided to just call him ‘Ludo’.

When I came out, the Pyo-in tribe who were guarding the entrance of the cliff welcomed me.

“Savior. Are you out?”

The title of savior is too burdensome.

They were people I would only see today anyway, so I nodded my head without bothering.

“I will go now. Be well.”

“Are you leaving already? I haven’t been treated properly yet.”

I just waved my hand and left the Pyo-human village.

It was still not enough to go against the emperor as well as the meeting.

As long as time permits, I had to become the most efficient and fastest.

‘I’ll be able to go to Deshurn’s residence in no time since I have the paper Bahat gave me.’

I look forward to meeting him.
