Holy Emperor’s Grandson is a Necromancer - Chapter 103

Episode 103 〈He who is called a saint. 〉

I do not have the sophisticated and delicate torture techniques of the Red Cross.

However, it is possible to create a similar atmosphere.

Baron Lava was hung upside down.

A maggot-like body floundered in the air.

A pool of holy water was placed beneath it, and a skeleton was used to grab the chains that bound Baron Lava’s body.

“Let the game begin.”

I imitated the lines of a thriller movie in a somewhat scary atmosphere.

Baron Lava was startled and looked at me with trembling eyes.

In the enclosed space, only the holy water on the floor gave off bright light.

“There is only one way for you to feel comfortable. All you have to do is answer the questions sincerely.”

As I said that, I looked through the lists that Baron Lava had. The main figures of the Seonghwang family are listed.

Among them, there was also one about Rose Darina.

“What is the answer?”

“On the subject of livestock…!”

I snapped my fingers.

The skeletons holding the chains loosened their hands.

Baron Lava’s body fell to the ground and was submerged in a pool of holy water.

The flesh burns and makes a bizarre scream.

Ash and smoke spread everywhere.

The skeletons pulled the chains again.

Burning flesh regenerates again. It is a vampire’s unique regenerative ability.

In fact, I thought about water torture, but it gave the vampire a terrible pain similar to acid torture.

Amid suffocation and searing pain, Baron Lava could only cry out for help.

“Do you know about Rose Darina?”

‘I don’t know…’

He snaps his fingers.

Baron Lava was sucked into the pool of holy water again.

The series of actions was repeated again.

If you bring it up and ask a question, the answer is that you don’t know.

One more time.

I repeated it without stopping.

Anyway, if you don’t get a hint here, there is no way to go.

There is still time left. At least until Ruppel’s execution.

When three and a half days passed without rest, Baron Lava opened his mouth with a red face.

“I will do it. says Everyone… let me tell you. now stop.”

I smiled at those words.

**

I left the sealed warehouse in the village.

In front, the first prince of the Rom Kingdom, Varus, his guard knights, and Charlotte were waiting.

I looked at Charlotte.

He looks quite dissatisfied.

It seemed like his pride had been hurt that a charm spell had been cast on a Baron-level man, and he also seemed disappointed that he had lost his prey to me.

“I figured it out. “Where Rose Darina is.”

To be exact, it was her helper.

It was 1st Prince Varus who became angry at those words.

He wants to avoid the intervention of the Holy Emperor as much as possible.

“So it turns out that you have nothing to do with us?”

If it is my authority as the 7th prince, I can bite the heavenly army dispatched here.

Varus had such hopes.

But I shook my head.

Rather, it was the opposite.

“No, rather, it has a deeper connection with you.”

To be exact, it has nothing to do with Varus.

However, the Kingdom of Rom was deeply involved.

Varus’ face showed a look of surprise at those words.

“He is the one protecting Rose.”

I glared at Varus.

“Because it’s Dragon Slayer Raiden.”

Varus kept his mouth shut and said nothing.

For a while, his face turned completely white.

If what I said is true, the Rom Kingdom was protecting Rose.

If done incorrectly, this could also be used as a justification for invasion.

“Now wait a minute. “Isn’t something strange?”

“These are words spoken by a vampire. “Why does a vampire not only know the whereabouts of the Second Crown Princess, but is also related to Raiden…”

Varus’ long continued words became blurred.

He opened his mouth as if shocked.

Varus also realized this.

Both Raiden and the Rose vampire. “ Because

it’s related.”

They were all accomplices.

**

The skeletal horse led the carriage.

The guard knights took steps.

I remembered what Baron Lava had said.

-Rose Darina He was our confidant. The giver of all information about the Holy Empire and the creatures. He was a bridge builder.

Rose Darina was the bridge for the nobles who wanted to become vampires and gain eternal life.

In fact, Baron Lava did not know exactly.

As a progenitor vampire who lived in hiding in a cave, he was given a rank and went on a mission for the first time. Because it was done.

Baron Lava said.

-Also, this mission was led by the Marquis.

The Marquis is not a noble class in simple human society, but a rank and rank in vampire society.

A position that represents it.

-Raiden Behemoth. He is in command this time. This is the vampire marquis in charge.

I shook my head, remembering Baron Lava’s words.

-It was easy to turn him into a vampire. Because he wanted to.

There are two conditions to become a vampire.

One is the blood of the ancestor that will turn him into a vampire. Another option is for the person involved to become a vampire and sacrifice their soul.

If a subordination contract is made, they will live as a ‘servant’ of the progenitor vampire. As

Raiden entered his 80s, he felt his body weakening. He also had a relationship with a dragon in the past. He spent his old age filled with pain due to the fatal wound he received in his deadly battle.

-Rose

Darina She seduced him.

Rose opened the way for Raiden to live.

False life and eternal life. The power to defy death. He was resurrected as a vampire.

-The Vampire King recognized the human who had hunted the dragon. He gave him his blood, elevated him to the rank of progenitor, and gave him the title of marquis. -Then

where is Raiden?

-I really don’t know. ! The Marquis only gave orders through letters. I just followed his orders like a puppet!

After finding out what I was curious about, I killed Baron Lava.

I struggled to find out the vampires’ intentions in the carriage.

But why? Why?

The vampires Are they still protecting Rose Darina?

Isn’t this a throwaway message for them?

Does this mean that Rose still has some useful qualities?

I don’t know.

The only thing that catches me off guard is the ‘maid’ next to Rose.

During the last visit, Ruppel mentioned ‘the maid’.

When I checked with my [mind’s eye], she was not a woman with particularly outstanding talent.

Nevertheless, the fact that the vampires have Rose and the maid has a lot of value.

I shook my head.

Is this back to square one?

We need to find the vampire Raiden.

But how do you find out where the Rom Kingdom is hiding?

It’s not that there is no way.

The first prince in front of you.

Varus’ help is needed.

There are very few people who know that much about the internal situation of the Rom Kingdom.

So…

“How…!”

I turned my gaze to Varus.

Varus was looking outside the carriage with a despairing expression.

My eyebrows naturally furrowed.

A terrible smell stings my nose.

As we left the road in the forest, what we saw was a desolate ruin.

A large city adjacent to Lost Village burned down.

The place, which had no outer walls or stockades, was a defenseless place vulnerable to exploitation by soldiers.

Numerous corpses are piled up in burned or skeletal buildings, and weapons are stuck everywhere.

It was a battlefield created by the civil war of the Roman Kingdom.

Among them, zombies are writhing and wandering.

This wasn’t done by a vampire.

The ‘laws of nature’ of this world.

If there are people who die in a dark place, such as a battlefield, some of them become undead.

That was the case in front of us now.

The undead were created due to the civil war in the Roman Kingdom.

“It’s a horse carriage!”

Even in a city where the dead roamed around, there were survivors.

Refugees who saw the carriage came running in a panic.

“Please save me!”

“Help me. “There is nothing to eat… the child…!”

“There are dead people. “Please save us!”

Refugees surrounded the wagon.

They stopped when they saw the skeletal horse, but their attention was even more drawn to the knights escorting the carriage and the person riding inside.

The escort knights pushed the refugees out.

“Everyone get off!”

“This is reckless. “Who do you think this person is?”

The article’s words actually had the opposite effect.

The refugees thought that someone higher up would save them.

The knights looked away.

Zombies began to gather.

The knights could no longer bear it and finally drew their swords.

Confusion increases.

If I made a mistake, I didn’t know there could be a victim.

The number of people who used to be in the dozens increases to the hundreds.

I looked at the refugees.

There are people in their 70s and older and children under 10 years old.

They are all weak people who survived the battlefield.

They are refugees who have no way to survive.

They have lost their homes and have no food or water.

All you have to do is run away from the wandering dead.

Charlotte looked sadly at the people who were crying.

Varus kept his mouth shut.

It seemed like they were worried about whether or not they could take care of these numerous refugees.

I spoke to Varus.

“Are you planning to abandon them all? “A prince of a country?”

Varus was startled and lowered his head.

“You can protect it. Because there is a residence nearby. But there is no medicine to treat the injured. “No food or water…”

“That’s an excuse.”

Varus smiled bitterly.

“That’s your excuse. But if you try to save one person, two people will end up dead.”

“You probably have information about Raiden too, right?”

Varus looked at me.

“Even if he is a vampire, there must be a helper that Raiden can hide behind. I want you to pass on that information.”

Varus nodded at the sudden words.

“Of course. I will do it if it means preventing the Holy Empire’s intervention. But why?”

“good.”

I got off the carriage. I

lightly snapped my fingers.

Runes were engraved around me.

I summoned an armed skeleton and a skeleton mage holding a staff.

The refugees screamed at the sight.

Varus also showed a surprised look.

Summoned. This was my first time seeing the sacred undead.

Skeletons hunt down the approaching zombies one by one.

The Skeleton Mages widen the gap.

About 30 of them surround hundreds of refugees.

“What are you trying to do!”

“He is a necromancer. “He’s a necromancer!”

“Are they trying to kill us?”

The refugees were screaming anxiously.

Charlotte tried to calm them down.

I saw skeleton mages surrounding the refugees.

It was a good opportunity. This

would be a good time to experiment with ‘Aztalun’.

The skeleton mages were on their knees. Kneel down.

Touch the staff held in both hands to your forehead and pray and sing a hymn. As the

beautiful hymn rang out, the refugees’ eyes widened.

Their confused mouths quietly closed.

The hymn cleared away the fear in their clouded minds. I washed it away.

I also stared blankly as if I was fascinated by the aura of holy power emitted by the Skeleton Mage.

The aura of holy power spread like a wave.

The Skeleton Mages, who could be considered priests, held up staffs that had collected holy power.

Holy energy.

The miracle of God would be unleashed. A sanctuary that can be used.

It is

a “declaration of holy war.”

**

The skeleton mages swung down their staffs.

Boom!

The ground shook.

Golden runes spread around them.

A bright light emanated from the ground.

The refugees on the Aztalun carved on the ground were in awe .

It was full.

They looked at their physical condition. Their

heavy bodies became drowsy.

Those with diseases were cured and even minor wounds disappeared.

The approaching dead melted and those who saw the golden light closed their eyes.

Is that all?

“Oh my…! Unbelievable!”

One of the refugees was shocked.

He looked down at his child.

The arm that had been cut off in the war. The wound, which had been wrapped with a dirty rag to stop the bleeding, was healing. It was

n’t just healing.

The pain was gone.

The cut off. Bones rise.

Joints form, and blood vessels and muscles extend and wrap around them. Finally, skin covers them.

‘Complete regeneration’ is unfolding.

The child looked at his hands with trembling eyes.

I still can’t believe it. He repeatedly clenched and unclenched his fist as if he was not going.

Then he started crying.

The arm that wasn’t there was born again.

“Daddy!”

The child hugged his father.

He felt his father’s warmth in his arms that were not there.

Conversely, the father felt the strength of the child’s embrace.

“This… is a miracle.”

My heart is pounding.

The father hugged the child in a daze. At the same time, he rolled his wet eyes and looked at the priest. This

was a boy who could have just become an adult.

A miracle performed by such a boy.

It was unbelievable.

Varus and the Knight The others were also mesmerized.

Varus opened the carriage door as if he was possessed and came out.

My heart was humming

. I was amazed every time I was with the prince in front of me.

When hunting vampires, I felt cruelty, but when dealing with the weak, I felt mercy.

“Prince, do all the priests of the Holy Empire perform miracles like that?”

Varus shook his head at the words that even the knight admired.

“No, that’s not true.”

That would absolutely not be the case.

Varus was sure.

He had heard of the 7th Prince well.

A fearsome title like the Butcher of the Vampire Slayer Lycan.

However, there is another title that is different from that.

“He.”

All the refugees knelt down.

They put their hands together and bowed their heads.

Everyone weeps and offers prayers of gratitude with earnest hearts.

The only boy in front of me.

“He is a saint.”

Towards Saint Allen Allpols.
