Holy Emperor’s Grandson is a Necromancer - Chapter 123

Episode 123 〈 Guardian of the Tomb 〉

Queen Rox, who disappeared with the ‘Illusion’ spell, set foot on Taitalos with Allen.

The identity of ‘Norman’ was hastily created.

In fact, there are no such wizards in the royal family.

Queen Rox stepped on a soft blade of grass.

The air containing holy power and mana cleared my head.

A wide lake covered with huge trees.

It’s like a fantasy world from a fairy tale.

However, when I saw it, I was filled with fear as well as the excitement and memories of what I had experienced here.

As it was a mysterious world, it was an unknown territory.

The monsters here were extremely powerful.

Queen Rox turned her gaze towards the door.

Between the doors, the royal guards and wizards were waiting with expressions full of concern.

Eventually, the iron door closed.

‘I made you worry too much.’

Allen turned his gaze and looked at the iron door.

There is a bedrock in a cave around the gate. Looking at it, it is clearly inside a cave.

furthermore.

“Is that a monster?”

Queen Rox was startled by Allen’s muttering and looked away.

In a forest filled with trees.

In the thick fog, I saw a being with sparkling eyes.

“monster?”

Ellis asked back.

Hans looked into the forest with curious eyes.

Queen Rox said as she held the brim of her pointed hat.

“I might have to run from the beginning.”

Need to run?

Everyone looked at Queen Rox.

To them, it may seem like ‘Norman’.

Queen Rox raised her mana.

As I infused mana into my legs, my robe loosened and my body floated in the air.

‘No matter how strong they are, they are difficult to deal with. First, run away…’

At that moment, a monster appeared in the forest.

“…uh?”

Ellis and Hans raised their heads with stiff faces.

An ancient dragon with strong scales covering its entire body, a massive jaw, and walking on two legs with developed hind legs.

Queen Rox, seeing the monster, became nervous.

However, I heard Allen mutter something interesting.

“It looks like a Tyrannosaurus.”

Queen Rox looked at Allen.

He was seen summoning a musket and imbuing it with holy power.

I heard it through rumors, but they really want to use muskets.

I briefly heard about its power.

It was enough to pierce the skull of a count-level vampire.

The power is considerable. But there is no way a musket could really produce that kind of power.

“You have to run away. Prince. Elder dragons are not ordinary.”

Their scales are magic resistant and difficult to pierce with most weapons.

In order to defeat the ancient dragon, you have no choice but to use illusion magic.

The pain roared as if my eardrums would explode.

Birds around me flew away and the ground shook.

Allen’s eyes widened at that sight.

‘Mana?’

I could feel the mana in the roar.

Is that all?

Mana surrounds the ancient dragon’s entire body.

The body is strengthened and the body moves quickly.

It was my first time seeing a monster that could use mana.

The ancient dragon opened its mouth with agility that its heavy body could not achieve and rushed towards Hans.

“Ahh!”

As he opened his jaw and tried to tear Hans apart with his 30cm sharp teeth, Ellis threw a punch.

It penetrated the air and struck the side of the ancient dragon.

thud-!

Ellis looked satisfied at the light hitting sound.

I could definitely feel the weight at my fingertips.

I also confirmed that the cheek flesh was bursting with pain.

A single blow is enough…

But.

The ancient dragon’s eyes rolled and glared at Ellis.

I changed the direction of my open mouth.

The teeth attacked Ellis.

Thump-!

Just ask it like that.

“Ugh…”

Two hands wearing gauntlets forced the ancient dragon’s mouth open and held it in place.

Queen Rox was astonished at that sight.

‘You blocked the ancient dragon’s teeth?’

The power of its jaws can crush even rocks. Moreover, it goes without saying that it is an ancient dragon infused with mana.

Queen Rox could not hide her surprise as Elise blocked the teeth of pain with both hands.

For a moment, she opened her eyes wide.

He closed his mouth and looked away.

Holy power is swirling.

“Gaia.”

Allen prays.

Blue runes appeared on the musket he was holding, and golden runes appeared on his skin.

[Divine Power], a supernatural power that can only be used by those chosen by God, and the letter of God [Aztalun].

Because of this, the sexual power is amplified.

Christmas lights up the musket and aims the gun at the ancient dragon.

‘Ancient runes.’

It was time for Rox to express his surprise.

When he pulled the trigger, the bullet pierced the ancient dragon’s skull.

Soon, my head exploded.

It was an unbelievable sight for Rox, who was very nervous and was thinking about running away.

“Really with a musket…”

Wasn’t it a magic wand?

Rox, who had only heard the story of the 7th prince through his subjects, was embarrassed.

The ancient dragon’s massive body collapsed.

An ancient dragon that is resistant to magic. But that guy’s head was blown off to the point where it was unrecognizable.

Ellis came out from the ancient dragon’s gaping mouth.

“…It smells.”

Ellis, covered in the ancient dragon’s saliva and blood, is in tears.

He doesn’t even have a nervous face.

‘indeed.’

It seems that it is not a lie to say that the three of us will attack.

“Did you say Norman?”

Rox looked at Allen.

“How much do you know about me?”

“…I have heard rumors about the prince.”

To be honest, these were just rumors that were hard to believe.

They say he uses a musket and creates holy water, and the most difficult thing to believe is that he summoned ‘holy undead’.

These were rumors that completely distorted the common sense that everyone believed in.

Yes, it’s a musket. It’s possible if you use divine energy and ancient runes. However, holy water and holy undead are impossible.

Rox thought so.

“It was a difficult place even for 3,000 soldiers.”

Allen stepped onto the ground and walked.

Runes are engraved around it.

An arm extends from the ground covered with bushes.

Rox even forgot to breathe while watching that.

I focused my attention and looked at the undead crawling out of the floor.

It is a body made of holy power. However, the equipment surrounding the outside is not a sacred power, but actually existing substances.

It was a structure where real-life weapons stored somewhere were put on the summoned body.

“…oh my god.”

Rox staggered in shock.

I could barely support myself with a cane.

‘It was real.’

The laws of this world were broken in an instant.

I feel like all the knowledge I have learned so far is shaking.

It is an undead army of about 300 bodies.

They set up camp and Allen summoned four skeletal horses and mounted them.

“Then, let me ask Norman for directions.”

Rox twitched his eye muscles as he looked at Allen.

She thought that Celt’s grandson was not a very easy person.

**

Clearly Taitalos was an unknown world.

That’s how rewarding it was to come here.

There are plenty of good items.

How many chances would there be to have the teeth and skin of an ancient dragon?

What is most interesting is the bones of ancient dragons.

‘It is said that ancient necromancers moved the bones of ancient dragons.’

There were some things in Aslan’s ancient books that I didn’t understand, but I was able to understand them through them.

They are the ones who even tamed dragons.

Not only were ancient dragons raised, but their corpses were also probably used.

‘It’s definitely strong.’

Sometimes, the skeleton unit was wiped out against the ancient dragons that lived in groups, and they were forced to run away.

Without being able to rest, I was constantly exposed to danger and wandered around.

But there were also benefits.

Because I was able to increase my skill proficiency with rare items.

I spent about a week finding my way and hunting ancient dragons.

Now even vacation time is tight.

The skeletons advanced and cut down the thick bushes.

The reason the surrounding environment was a maze seemed to be due to the thick fog.

Ancient ruins can be seen all over the place, and the runes embedded there are interpreted to determine their location.

With Norman’s guidance, we discovered an ancient city.

Ruins covered with plant stems.

We camped in one of the ruins there.

“Great runes!”

Hans’ eyes sparkled.

Seeing the ancient ruins burned my will.

I put some firewood and started a fire.

Like ghosts, the skeletons’ eyes flashed and they looked around with a gloomy look.

I looked up at the sky.

To be exact, a ceiling made of lakes.

The ceiling, which was bright just a moment ago, is now stained black.

“Does night exist here too?”

This was something I thought was fascinating all week.

I sat down and Elise took the seat next to me and Norman took the seat across from me.

Ellis’ ears perked up at the sound of ‘runes’, but strangely, she seemed to be trying hard to hide her emotions.

She looked at me and spoke cautiously.

“I…”

I looked at Ellis.

She wiggled her hands. She took a deep breath for a while and looked at Norman.

She whispered to herself.

“Do you know about the saint?”

“Saint?”

I tilted my head, looked at Ellis, and asked,

“It’s you.”

“…It’s too direct.”

Ellis touched her forehead.

Oh, come to think of it, the Holy Emperor’s Kingdom was making a fuss about me being a saint and all that. But there was no such thing at all with Ellis. I

can roughly guess the reason.

She was hiding the fact that she was a saint.

“I “How did you know she was a saint?”

“Just look.”

“By feeling?”

I nodded.

You might be shocked if I told you that it was the same as how to identify vampires.

Ellis pressed her temples.

“I was worried, but you gave me a refreshing answer.”

“Why are you hiding the fact that you are a saint?”

“…Because they become prey for vampires. The only ones who can actually distinguish between vampires are saints and saints.”

So does that mean that Ellis can distinguish between the vampires of the Holy Empire?

Seeing my expression, Ellis seemed to read my thoughts and said,

“It’s not at that level yet. But in the next 2 or 3 years. It’s definitely about that level.”

Ellis glanced at Norman.

He didn’t seem to hear the small talk they were talking about.

She sighed in relief and continued,

“Then I’ll tell you straight as well. Is the prince a saint?”

“no.”

Ellis looked confused.

I don’t know if he’s a saint or anything.

Is there a way to distinguish them separately? It was a situation I had been curious about for a long time.

When asked about it, Ellis shook his head.

“You have no choice but to be aware of that. Even in Seonghwangbeopguk, you will be tested once you reach a certain age. “When you are judged to be a saint or a saint, you will receive that title.”

“I didn’t receive anything like that?”

“He goes against the laws of the world and performs God’s miracles. “That is enough to prove it.”

Well, in this world, the game system is truly a miracle of God.

It is a contradictory profession that creates something from nothing, is a priest, and is a necromancer.

He doesn’t even know how to tell the difference between a vampire and someone would see him as a saint.

…Could he really be a saint?

“Normally, there are no cases where a saint and a saint appear together. So just in case…”

Then I wouldn’t be a saint.

Not only is there no awareness of it, but the miracle is also thanks to the game system.

However, there are many things that are not explained.

The absurd growth rate is a structure that does not exist even in games.

In addition, not only can magic be used extensively, but its power has already far exceeded that of the game.

According to the magic knowledge I learned here, I was a contradictory being.

While talking to Ellis, Norman’s eyes met.

Norman looked at me and smiled kindly.

As I looked at him, I even felt suspicious.

‘Are you sure that he is the most talented person in the royal family?’

I went through [Mind’s Eye], but his information didn’t come out.

This is one case where the mind’s eye is limited.

Covering your face.

Simple transformation magic can be seen through, but ‘illusion’ magic is different.

If the face is covered with high-level illusion magic and hidden, it is difficult to understand.

“Is there something on my face?”

“…I wonder if illusion magic is your specialty.”

Norman stopped and widened his eyes in surprise.

“Did you know?”

“Why are you hiding it?”

“…Because the burn marks on his face are severe.”

I gave him a suspicious look, but Norman didn’t respond further.

Judging by the way I can feel mana, I’m not a vampire.

Norman asked, looking at me to change the subject.

“So what do you think of Taitalos?”

“It’s true that it’s a different world.”

There are various types of life forms here.

There are carnivorous plants that eat living things, swarming giant bugs, and even massive ancient dragons.

What I especially like is the presence of the wyvern.

There is nothing better than obtaining the bones of a wyvern, a descendant of dragons.

It was true that it was a place that even vampires avoided.

It would be difficult for even them to survive here.

“How long will it take to arrive?”

It took about a week.

But I couldn’t find a place where there were angels.

Only small relics are visible.

Norman tilted his head.

“We have arrived now.”

“what?”

In response to the question, Norman pointed with his finger at the huge ruins that Hans was investigating.

“That place.”

He pointed to a place where an altar was placed in a city center made up of ruins.

“That’s where the angel is.”

Norman glanced at me.

“It’s a dangerous place. Would you like to at least take a look?”

“You mean I can go in now?”

Norman nodded.

“I know that the prince’s mind will change when he sees that. “It’s not dangerous as long as you don’t go inside the door.”

What on earth is causing it to do that?

There was no need to worry.

According to the Queen of Rocks’ records, it is said that even if you go in, you can get out again.

That’s right.

“good.”

It wouldn’t be a bad idea to go in.

**

I walked down the underground stairs hidden under the altar with Norman.

There were several roads crossing each other.

“That being is truly a terrible monster, not a tool.”

Norman guided the way, emitting bright light from the crystal.

Norman Hans Ellis worked hard to quickly decipher the ancient runes. Thanks to this, I was able to find and walk the right path.

“Ordin, the first Holy Emperor, was praised as the son of God with just that one tool.”

Push away the blocking wall.

“It is said that all the kings of men fell to their knees in despair as soon as they laid eyes on his sword.”

The wall is pushed aside, creating a path.

“The Royal Palace of Airans here was actually the territory and capital of the Holy Emperor during ancient times.”

Me, Norman Ellis, and Hans looked ahead.

“God’s sword and shield, the guardian of Gaia’s throne. “With all the names.”

A huge 10-meter-long gate with various mythological paintings painted on it.

Norman reached out and infused mana into it.

The door opens automatically in response to mana.

The huge 10m long door split to the left and right with a loud noise.

Light seeps in.

An aura made of holy power flowed out like waves of the sea.

“I call it this.”

Through the open door, the interior of the temple made of bright light was visible.

Also, a throne was visible.

A person believed to be Ordin, the first Holy Emperor.

Ordin wore a golden bracelet and his white bones hardened like fossils. He was a gorgeous person. He was sitting on a throne, wearing clothes and a crown.

And in front of the throne, a majestic large figure was floating in the air.

Hans Ellis and I raised our heads

and looked up at that ‘great being.’ It

was 20 meters high and 15 meters left and right. A huge body.

Two massive arms made of thick armor. The upper body floats without the lower body. It is

surrounded by all kinds of gears and rotates slowly.

It looks like a small fortress with spears and blades embedded here and there.

Hundreds of crystal balls. It shines with light and explodes with holy power.

With its 12 wings made of holy power wide open, a large figure emerges.

The golem’s eyes inside the helmet roll and glare at us.

“Metatron, the king of the heavenly world. That’s what I named him.”

It was a moving giant fortress.

It had the appearance of an angel summoned by the first Holy Emperor.

I looked at the giant fortress as if mesmerized.

The intimidation emanating from the gigantic fortress was indescribable.

But,

“It was the right decision to come here.”

It was worth coming here.

I have the Holy Treasure Angel.

“I have it.”

You will get it.
