Holy Emperor’s Grandson is a Necromancer - Chapter 101

Episode 101 〈Black Village〉

Baron Lava was able to see the priest through the zombie’s vision.

As the priest prayed, magic was unleashed.

There was a flash of light, and hundreds of zombie hordes were slaughtered and all the wounded knights recovered.

It is a fairly high-level magic.

Baron Lava was standing on a hill in the forest, his maggot-like body trembling with an open bloody Bible.

‘It is a dangerous being.’

The skills of the other knights were poor, but the boy priest had enough skills to do a hundred daily wages on his own.

Are you saying he wasn’t just a priest?

This meant he had to make a choice.

Are you going to leave them alone until they leave this village, or are you going to take the risk of getting rid of them?

Surely, once they leave, this village will become known. Also, the Kingdom of Rom will conduct a search, and his plan will go awry.

After thinking carefully, Baron Lava made a decision.

We have to create a zombie army anyway. In terms of location, there is no place better than this place.

If I backed off like this, I might be held accountable by the ‘Marquis.’

So let’s eliminate the priest in front of us.

‘There are also ways to deal with it.’

I saw a boy priest use magic.

He prayed before using magic.

This meant that I couldn’t move for at least a few tens of seconds.

So, you should aim for that time.

But there are many articles around.

In order to attack the priests….

‘We have to get rid of them first.’

Lava looked at the knights.

He took out a blood-stained Bible, poured his magic into it, and memorized a spell.

**

I forcefully dragged Varus away.

I left the village and headed to the carriage I had left near the forest.

The village had already been wiped out and there were no survivors.

It’s best to move quickly and get out of here.

I pushed Varus to a clearing in the forest and asked him straight about his business.

“Are you really saying you don’t know? “This is the second crown princess, Rose Darina.”

I even took out the portrait and showed it to him.

When it was right in front of his nose, Varus took a step back as if it was burdensome.

The drivers complained.

“impolite! Even though he is a priest of the Holy Empire, how dare you know what kind of person this person is…!”

When the knight was about to raise his voice, Varus quickly shouted,

“Lord Himel! Shut that mouth!”

The knight named Himel was silent.

Varus instead scolded the knight.

“Be polite. Who do you think this person is!”

After finishing speaking, Varus immediately got down on one knee toward me and bowed his head.

“I am the 1st Prince Varus Victoria, the rightful heir to the throne of the Rom Kingdom. I greet the 7th Prince of the Holy Empire.”

At those words, the guards fell to their knees in shock.

I was equally surprised.

“Do you know me?”

“I heard that the only priest who can use a musket is the 7th prince of the Holy Empire.”

I looked at Charlotte.

Was I really that famous?

Charlotte came up to me and whispered in my ear,

“Rumors about the prince have spread all over the continent.”

“…What kind of rumor is this?”

I was curious about what kind of rumor was spreading.

“A priest who uses a musket, which is just an ornament, as a weapon and deals with the holy undead. Of course, there are very few people who believe.”

That’s the story that spread among the nobles.

In fact, it was strange that there were no rumors until now.

However, it had only been two months since the official announcement about the Holy Undead was made.

The speed at which the rumors spread was quite fast.

I looked down at Varus and said, “ I

heard that the Second Crown Princess is receiving help from the rebels?”

Varus stood up.

He had a perplexed expression.

“If it’s about the second crown princess, we want to know.”

Varus’ tone of voice was different.

His actions were also quite cautious.

“Only then will we be able to hand over the Second Crown Princess and prevent the intervention of the Holy Empire.”

Varus looked quite anxious. It also looks like it’s unfair.

I looked at Charlotte.

She shook her head.

I couldn’t tell if it was a lie or the truth.

Is this nonsense?

Three thousand miles to find Rose.

I don’t know where on earth it is.

I glanced at Varus and said.

“Then do you know any nobles related to Rose?”

“That is…”

Varus looked away.

I could see Lost Village at the bottom of a hill in the forest.

“Raiden, the dragon slayer, was close to the Second Crown Princess.”

But there is no dragon slayer, only a zombie village?

Strangely suspicious.

Anyway, in order to find Rose, they had to find a person named Raiden.

Even though he is a retired hero, he is a famous person, so it will be easier than finding Rose.

At that time, the rain poured down even more.

The surrounding forest was shaken by the harsh wind.

I tried to move, but I couldn’t go any further.

“What would you like to do?”

I sighed at Charlotte’s question.

“Let’s rest for now.”

After a long journey, we arrived at a village and hunted zombies.

In addition, it was a good thing that I met the first prince, but I couldn’t help but feel a sense of disappointment because I couldn’t get a single hint about Rose.

I was exhausted both physically and mentally.

I needed rest now.

“We’re camping. Did you say Varus? “Please come talk to me for a moment.”

It was necessary to know clearly whether the other person was telling the truth or a lie.

If something is even slightly suspicious, harsh methods will have to be used.

Varus was startled by my words and asked.

“You mean here?”

Varus looked anxiously at the village below, Lost.

He thought of the zombies that attacked him.

“Zombie hunting is simple.”

No matter how many zombies attacked, there was no problem.

Varus also nodded, perhaps remembering the musket I shot a moment ago.

**

The escort knight and Charlotte escorted the carriage around.

The escort drivers gave Charlotte an uncomfortable look as she clung to the carriage.

This is because they cannot know what will happen to their master in the carriage.

‘I never thought he was the prince of the Seonghwang family.’

He was said to be the 7th prince of the prosperous kingdom.

Maybe we can persuade him to resolve the misunderstanding and eliminate the Holy Emperor’s intervention.

At worst, I thought, ‘I’ll take them hostage.’

The knights glanced at Charlotte.

She is a girl in white armor with a straight back and neatly trimmed silver hair.

At first glance, she appeared to be a weak noble daughter, but even if all the knights here attacked her, they would not be able to defeat her.

Although the prince wiped out hundreds of zombies, the girl who cut smoothly with a steel sword was also unusual.

They are both young, but are such monsters the only ones in the Holy Kingdom?

Thanks to this, I realized the difference between skill and talent.

The knights sighed.

At that time, one of the knights, Sir Himel, felt a strange gaze.

He turned his head and looked into the forest.

‘Is that…?’

It’s a black shadow.

It is well over 2m.

A large gray-skinned bug can be seen between the hem of the long robes worn by monks.

The two eye-shaped holes that protrude from the maggot’s body have serrated teeth.

Himel’s face hardened.

He quickly pulled out his sword and tried to shout.

“What!”

At that time, Himel’s eyes met the monster.

The monster mumbled an unknown language.

Magical power flowed out and Himel’s mouth closed tightly.

The strength in Himel’s eyes was released.

A woman in the forest. I saw this.

She was truly a beautiful woman. She

was like the ideal woman in my head.

The naked woman smiled softly and gestured.

Her hair turned white.

Her body was drawn to me.

“Lord Himel? What happened….”

The knight spoke. Before I could finish, I looked into the forest.

The other knights also opened their eyes and slowly headed into the forest.

“What’s going on?”

Charlotte asked the knights.

But the knights didn’t even look back. When

Charlotte grabbed one of them, the knight roughly shook her hand away.

Instead, he pulled out his sword and pointed it at Charlotte, shouting,

“Don’t stop me!”

“…?”

Charlotte frowned at the knights’ actions.

She also turned her gaze into the forest.

That’s when she could see.

There was the 7th Prince in the forest.

He was naked, smiling softly and gesturing.

The sight. Charlotte made a dazed expression.

Her mind was dizzy. Something was interfering in her mind.

Is this magical power?

Is it deception magic

? Charlotte pressed her temples. Still, she calmly spoke to the 7th prince in the carriage. I walked in.

“Prince.”

A voice came from inside the carriage:

“Why?”

Charlotte was relieved to hear the prince’s voice.

“The conditions outside look dangerous.”

Hearing her calm voice, the 7th Prince opened the carriage door and asked.

“What do you think?”

Charlotte looked at the prince’s face and thought to herself.

‘There is no way the prince would make such a sad expression.’

Charlotte said without hiding her true feelings.

“The prince was standing there.”

Charlotte pointed into the woods.

Before we knew it, the knights headed into the forest, and Varus, who belatedly opened the carriage door and came out, showed a surprised look in his eyes.

He also saw the knights walking into the forest.

“Hey, where are you going!”

Varus shouted at the knight.

He tried to catch them by taking steps, but the knights instead threatened Varus.

Charlotte grabbed Varus’s back and protected him.

“It’s an illusion magic. “Everyone seems possessed.”

The prince asked after Charlotte’s words.

“I was there?”

When the 7th Prince clearly stared at her, Charlotte made a perplexed expression.

He couldn’t bring himself to say that he seduced him naked and with a grumpy expression on his face.

Charlotte said back.

“Shall we subdue the knights?”

With Charlotte’s skills, she could even tie up her arms and legs and subdue her.

“or not.”

Charlotte asked, drawing her sword.

“Shall we eliminate the culprit?”

“Can you get rid of it?”

“It’s low-level magic. Although it has strong magical power, it is definitely weak.”

Allen turned his gaze towards the village.

“Of course, compared to zombies, he is weak. “Um…”

he asked, glancing at Charlotte.

“Can you get rid of it?”

“If that is an order.”

Charlotte bowed her head at those words.

“Okay. Get rid of it.”

Charlotte nodded.

She drew her sword and walked towards the direction the knights were being led.

Allen said as he watched Charlotte walk away.

“Then let’s prepare too.”

Hearing the 7th prince’s words, Varus looked at him curiously.

“what do you mean?”

“Isn’t it strange?”

The 7th Prince pointed his finger in the direction where the knights had disappeared.

“I only tricked the knights and took them away. “What could be the reason?”

“…?”

“It’s very simple.”

The 7th prince smiled.

“It’s to get rid of us.”

It was then.

The undead gathered around the carriage.

It is different from regular zombies.

There are ghouls and dullahan, and among them there are also lycans.

Varus’ face turned pale at that sight.

Allen shrugged his shoulders.

“Am I right?”

**

The knights were in an illusion.

They stretched out their hands to grab the beautiful woman.

The woman continued to shake off her hand.

The beautiful woman muttered.

-scary.

The knights tilted their heads at that one word, but after a while, they understood what he meant.

The knights disarmed themselves.

I threw away my sword and took off my armor. And then he stretched out his hand again.

I finally caught the woman.

Smooth and soft.

As they hugged the woman, her cold body reassured them.

“Lady what is your name?”

The knights raised their heads and asked a question.

And I saw the woman’s face.

The face of a large maggot.

A monster with two protruding eyes and saw-like teeth.

Baron Lava.

He smiled.

“thank you for this food.”

The bizarre saw-toothed teeth made a ‘snap!’ And it happened.

I could see fluid dripping between my teeth.

The knights’ faces hardened at that sight.

This was when Baron Lava was about to devour the knight’s head.

“It’s you.”

Baron Lava paused in surprise and turned his gaze forward.

Charlotte drew her sword and slowly walked out.

Only then did the knights come to their senses, screaming and stepping back or slapping their butts.

“Monster, monster!”

Baron Lava turned his gaze towards Charlotte in front of him with regret.

“The charm spell didn’t work? She seems to have considerable mental power.”

Baron Lava broke into a cold sweat while sarcastically saying,

because there was no human who had not been bewitched by his delusion magic.

“Such low-level magic doesn’t work.”

Charlotte aimed her sword and lowered her waist to take a stance.

Baron Lava stroked her chin.

“You’re not afraid when you see me?”

A priest from the Holy Emperor’s Kingdom would have some knowledge about vampires.

If it looked like a bizarre monster rather than a human, he would also know that it was a ‘progenitor.’ Nevertheless, the girl was not afraid.

“You know that I am the progenitor.” “I guess?”

“Yeah, I know.”

Charlotte nodded.

A faint smile appeared on her expressionless face.

“That’s why I came here.”

There is a vampire right in front of her.

It is also a progenitor. It

is a rare prey. This is

the first vampire she has faced since the vampire count in Ronia.

It was a good opportunity for her to test her strength.

Charlotte glared at Baron Lava with fierce eyes.

“What is your rank?”

It was a question about the rank of a vampire.

Baron Lamar was intimidated by Charlotte’s confidence.

He felt uneasy because Charlotte was not intimidated or afraid.

“I am a baron.”

Charlotte paused at those words.

Her face hardened.

Seeing that, Baron Lava smiled.

‘I was scared for no reason!’

As expected, the paladin in front of him seemed to be scared. He

must have thought of himself as simply a progenitor vampire with no title.

So, the girl was bluffing just now.

That’s what she thought.

But.

“Only a baron.”

Baron Lava looked into Charlotte’s eyes.

It was disappointment. It

was disappointment that seemed to indicate that the prey was so ‘shabby’.

“I wanted to deal with someone of the earl’s level.”

Charlotte injected holy power into the sword.

An aura of holy power gushed out from her entire body.

That powerful energy sent shivers down Baron Lava’s spine.

“Still, it could be useful to you.”

Charlotte approached Baron Lava.

On the other hand, Baron Lava stepped back.

“We will have to tell you everything about what happened here, as well as everything about Raiden that the prince is looking for.”

Baron Lava was so frightened that he could not say anything.

Just looking at Charlotte made my eyes sting.

It was only then that I realized.

That the target was not that girl, but herself.

“Even if it means sacrificing your life.”

A sword of enormous holy power swirled around.
