Absolute Necromancer - Chapter 180

Absolute Necromancer Chapter 180 – English Novel

‘It’s the fire dragon’s anger…Is it definitely equivalent to the breath of a decent dragon? No, to be exact, it’s about the breath of a dragon monster. Still, if I just get hit, I’ll die.’

Feeling the fire dragon’s breath and its heat slowly approaching him, Hendrick immediately made his decision.

It was surprising that the power created by magic was at least equivalent to the breath, the special move of the dragon species monster, which barely revealed itself until you went up 50 to 100 floors, but that wasn’t the important thing.

If you get hit, you die.

In a situation where death was slowly approaching, Hendrick felt his surroundings slowing down and fell into thought.

A situation similar to the battle foresight used by Jinhyeok, slightly inferior to Ha-ryu’s battle foresight.

Hendrick was also unusual in that he achieved it alone without any help.

Of course, it was possible due to a combination of various circumstances, but in the end, if Hendrick’s talent was lacking, the current situation would not have been possible even if the circumstances were right.

As time slowed down, Hendrick continued to worry.

A more important concern than the breath in front of you.

‘Gwangryong…I definitely thought of myself as a crazy dragon. A madness that cannot be contained by colors or anything else. I thought that was the source of who I am. But madness is not what determines what kind of dragon I am. Because that is the factor that determines the human Hendrick.’

Who are you?

It wasn’t a philosophical concern.

Just the source and elements that a dragon must have.

It was about worrying about its absence.

This was possible because Hendrick was not at all worried about things like Kainan in front of him.

Hendrick, finding himself more important than Kainan, slowly sank inside.

Inner world.

Hendrick, who was slowly being sucked into a place deeper than the world of his own mind, eventually faced the madness that he thought was his source.

-It’s been a while.

Hendrick was met by a familiar voice and a human figure.

Red hair, eyes filled with madness, even the corners of the mouth that draw a line.

The image reflected in the mirror and the water.

“Hendrick. Dragon Slayer Hendrick.”

That’s my past self.

It was the version of himself that best suited the nickname of the dragon slayer.

-Yes, Hendrick, now in the flesh of a dragon. It’s been a while since I last saw you. It looks different from when it appeared with the disgusting name Gwangryong. Has your inner self changed a little?

“…People always grow.”

-Aren’t you a dragon?

“Holding a tool doesn’t mean a person ceases to be a person. “It’s a given.”

-You’ve changed, Hendrick. Didn’t you say that you would kill every dragon in the world who killed your family? Have they forgotten those who were cruelly trampled by their hands like insects?

Hendrick’s voice from the past, full of anger, hits Hendrick’s ears now.

Looking at the past criticizing him, the current Hendrick shook his head.

“They will forever be remembered and imprinted in my heart. For now it’s just…Just wait for the right time. “As you know, we have already failed once.”

-It is not a failure. we…we….

Past Hendrick sat down holding his head and muttered.

Hendrick opened his mouth while hearing a muttering that was almost like talking to himself.

“Just because you are attacked by many people doesn’t mean that failure is no longer a failure. We failed and were defeated. Hendrick.”

-…Shut up. Because you were weak, because you were weak, we…!

Hendrick let out a sigh as he saw the figure glaring at him with two bloodshot eyes and criticizing him.

“You are me, and I am you. “Don’t forget that saying you lost because you were weak or lacking is like spitting in your own face.”

-…Ugh.

This was the truth, this was reality.

Whether past or present, Hendrick is Hendrick.

Criticizing one’s past or present shortcomings is like spitting in one’s own face.

Hendrick of the past sighed and lowered his head.

And while patting Hendrick on the shoulder, the current Hendrick muttered quietly.

“What you said was what I wanted to say, and what I said to you was probably meant to wake me up from my foolish state.”

-…Go down. Get to know the real you at a deeper level.

“I was already thinking of doing that. “I think the secret about my reincarnation will naturally be solved once we find out what kind of ‘dragon’ I am.”

-…I believe that everything you said is true.

“You probably know better than anyone else.”

-okay…Hahaha! Because you and I are ultimately the same. then…I’m counting on you. Overcome your failed past, realize your shortcomings, and become stronger.

Shurururuk!

As soon as he finished speaking, looking at the past Hendrick being sucked into him, the present Hendrick weakly tapped the chest where he had been absorbed.

Hendrick of the past.

That was because the frustration caused by failure that remained in Hendrick’s heart and the other half intoxicated with past glory.

However, even though it was the other half that was drunk with frustration and glory, it did not change the fact that it was the other half of himself, so he took care of his other half and eventually sank deeper and deeper.

* * *

‘…How deep does it go?’

No matter how slow time is, sinking into the deep sea takes too long.

Hendrick frowned slightly at that.

At that time, I felt my mental body descending into an increasingly dark and deeper place and wondered whether I should escape or wait.

Tuk-

“You’ve arrived.”

At that moment, Hendrick reached the deepest part of himself.

Deeper than where Hendrick was in the past.

A place so deep that it could never be reached without being conscious was a huge throne room.

In a place where the king and the throne existed, Hendrick was in the lowest place of the throne room.

“…What is this, that my position is the lowest in my inner world?”

surprised.

Hendrick rarely showed an emotion of surprise.

The inner world, the inner world, can be seen as the world of one person.

He is the so-called creator.

But the Creator is the lowest.

It was something Hendrick couldn’t understand.

But unlike that, Hendrick immediately found the reason for this impossible situation.

“…This is not my inner world. No, it’s my inner world, but…I am not the one who created this place….”

Inner world.

The person who created it was someone other than himself.

When Hendrick realized that fact, a voice like a thunderbolt was heard in his ears.

“It is I, Hendrick.”

“…!!!”

A being who says that he created this inner world.

Hendrick could feel his body bending automatically at the irresistible force contained in that simple voice.

Words that make you fall to your knees and bow your head.

“Ugh, you…Who are you?”

Hendrick barely nods his head and tries to speak informally to him, but without even realizing it, he makes me respect him.

He said as he looked at Hendrick with his legs crossed arrogantly from a throne located at a great height.

“The one who made you who you are today.”

“…I expected that, but…So who are you?”

The being that made you who you are.

That is the present, not the past.

Hendrick, who vaguely guessed that he was the one who made him take on the body of a dragon after his death, tried to reach a deeper truth.

“I am the one who stands above ten thousand demons and the ruler of all demons.”

“…no way-“

Although the voice was unfamiliar, the words he used to refer to himself were very familiar, so Hendrick barely managed to steady his trembling neck and looked at the being sitting on the throne located at a distant height.

And then, the person sitting on the throne finished speaking.

“It is Baal.”

* * *

“It is Baal.”

‘…What – could it really be Baal, the ‘pinnacle of all evil’, who put me in the body of a dragon?’

Hendrick felt confused by the words of the being who introduced himself as Baal.

why.

Why did he, who was trying to maintain a deep relationship with Jinhyuk, bring himself back to life, and as if reviving wasn’t enough, did he hit the dragon’s body?

When Hendrick fell into deep confusion thinking about him and couldn’t come to his senses.

“Are you planning on standing still like that? You probably have a lot of questions. “Right now I’m just a fragment left over from making your body, but I can at least answer your questions.”

“…!”

Hendrick couldn’t help but be surprised at Baal’s words.

What I was curious about.

Hendrick, trembling under the pressure of being able to ask those questions, barely got up and looked at Baal sitting on the throne and asked.

“Why did you bring me back to life?”

“Because you will be of help to my friend.”

“…Close friends? Are you talking about Cha Jin-hyuk?”

“….”

Crack-

Although Hendrick did not answer the question, Hendrick could not help but be surprised by Baal’s words, which he did not deny but slightly, very slightly nodded his head.

‘…So much so that Baal calls him a close friend? But why doesn’t Cha Jin-hyuk know anything? ‘What on earth is the connection between the two?’

Greater confusion and shock swept through Hendrick than when he saw Baal existing in his inner world.

However, Hendrick came to his senses after hearing Baal’s words.

“It’s good to ask questions about me, but isn’t the reason you came here more important?”

“…You knew.”

“It’s strange not knowing. “This is a place prepared for what will come one day when you accept yourself as a dragon.”

“Has everything been prepared since I died?”

“similar. “You are just an addition to the plan I had been preparing for quite some time.”

Tuk-tuk-tuk-

Baal responded by tapping the handle of the throne with his long fingers and then got up from the throne.

Jeopuk-

one step

Jeopuk-

Two steps.

Baal got up from his throne and slowly walked down from a great height.

Baal, who was standing on equal footing with Hendrick, who was looking at him from the lowest point, looked at Hendrick and said,

“You said you wanted to know what kind of ‘dragon’ you were.”

“…you’re right.”

Baal came down from the throne and stood in front of him.

He realized that he had a human appearance that was not much different from himself, but Hendrick did not dare to mention him out loud.

I just nod my head to what Baal says and say yes.

Baal smiled and responded to Hendrick’s answer.

“I thought you knew from the moment you got here.”

“…what do you mean?”

I thought I knew it from the moment I came here.

When Hendrick tilted his head at those words.

Perfect!

Baal lightly snapped his fingers.

Coo coo coo coo-

At the same time, the huge black throne room slowly vibrated and eventually began to disintegrate.

They were split and split again, completely pulverized, and were sucked into Hendrick.

“Wow…!”

Nose, mouth, ears.

Hendrik tried to resist the black powder being sucked into the hole in his body, but Baal calmly shook his head.

“Accept it. Because those are the things that will be your ‘dragons.’”

“…?”

“I, the ruler of all demons, created your body. From there, the kind of dragon you will become is decided.”

“…!”

Demon.

Black powder and Baal standing in front of me.

After collecting them all together, Hendrick soon realized what a ‘dragon’ he was.

“mind…Ryong…!”

“That is correct. When you return, please help Cha Jin-hyuk well. Also ask how I am doing. As the main body, I may be able to say hello and say hello and criticize them all on my own, but…This will be the first time you’ve heard of my fragmented body.”

When Hendrick realized that the corner of his mouth was drawn into an arc, although his face was so black that it seemed to be covered in shadow.

“Goodbye, Hendrick. “A person who will be of help to my close friend.”

Fuwaaaaak!

Baal’s fragments exploded and began to be absorbed into Hendrick like black powder.

And Hendrick was thrown out into the deep waters of the pitch-black, deep inner world.
