Holy Emperor’s Grandson is a Necromancer - Chapter 124
Episode 124 〈Guardian of the Tomb〉
It feels like the air is being pulled taut.
Clearly, what was flowing through the door was holy power.
However, I feel a sense of rejection in the face of overwhelming sexual power.
I looked up at the giant fortress.
There isn’t even a slight movement.
The eyes inside the helmet are just looking down at us.
Intruders who did not come through the door were not touched.
He is literally the guardian of the throne.
“I want it.”
Ellis and Hans looked at me as I mumbled.
The first prosperous Noble Phantasm, Metatron.
In front of the majesty of that great angel, my greed grew even greater.
Beyond simple possessiveness, I felt thrilled at a level I had never seen before.
Norman gave a dumbfounded look.
“Do you still say that when you see that?”
“I said you don’t have to go through the door, right?”
It’s definitely not an average bet.
Even now, I am so scared that my whole body feels tingly.
I felt this same ‘fear’ just from the feeling of intimidation.
That power cannot be ignored either.
‘Let’s test that power. ‘Angel who guards the throne of God.’
I summoned the dead.
A heavy armored skeleton riding a headless skeletal horse and even a banshee bone golem carrying a durahan bow.
It is an army of the dead, numbering as many as 300 bodies.
They broke through the floor and crowded into the hallway.
I raise my head and glare at the angel floating in the air.
“good.”
At one word, they ran.
Take out your weapon.
He galloped on a skeleton horse.
Banshees flew and bone golems moved forward, shaking the ground.
For them, there is only one thing to do.
Check the extent of the angel’s power…
boom!
I quickly stiffened.
The moment the skeletal horse crossed the border of the gate in front, a spear of light pierced the heavily armored cavalry.
The 2m long spear blade exploded right through the skeleton’s body and the skeletal horse.
The whole body was shattered and scattered.
-Coooooo!
At the same time, other skeletons crossed the door.
Spears of light rush in.
Dozens of skeletons were also pierced and exploded by the flying spears of light.
It penetrates like a siege weapon, and its accuracy is also appalling.
The floor inside the temple was caved in and broken.
With the explosion, cloudy smoke flies.
The remaining skeletons ran through the smoke.
I looked up at the giant fortress Metatron.
The cogwheels floating around are rolling.
Dozens of spears in between spewed out and flew in.
The spear of holy power pierced the dead.
The Dullahan, who fell off his horse after crushing the skeleton horse, rolls on the ground and runs as fast as he can.
He lifted the separated head and rolled his eyes.
Dullahan swung his sword and deflected the flying spear of light.
The sword trembled and cracked.
An artisan sword made with great care by a dwarf.
However, it was all he could do to withstand the spear made of holy power.
thud-! thud-!
The bone golem runs making a loud noise.
The large crossbow in his hand was aimed at Archangel Metatron.
When I pulled the trigger, a stiff gun flew out. Eventually, the bolt seemed to pierce Metatron’s body, but was blocked by an intangible wall and shattered.
“…Barrier?”
Ellis muttered in surprise.
I couldn’t help but be surprised too.
It has a huge body of up to 20m. I never would have guessed that it would be surrounded by a protective shield filled with holy power.
Is this why Airance was unable to inflict even a single wound?
Metatron’s eyes rolled quickly.
Spread out in all directions and quickly capture the attacking legions of dead, one by one.
The gearwheels floating around spun even faster.
Accordingly, light flowed from the numerous crystal balls embedded in Metatron’s body.
and.
White lights erupted in all directions like firecrackers.
It’s an attack that ignores accuracy.
More than hundreds of bullets of light floated in the air and fell indiscriminately on the ground.
That’s literally it.
“Bombing?”
A series of explosive sounds struck the eardrums, and
flames enveloped the temple’s interior. The army of the dead burned and turned into ashes, disappearing.
The 300 undead legions were annihilated, unable to withstand even 10 minutes.
Inside the burning temple. The huge fortress reaching 20 meters did not move. It
did not even lift a finger and just looked down at us, whom it judged to be the next intruders.
Inside the temple, the flames went out.
Golden runes were engraved on the angel’s body, and the inside of the temple was restored.
“…Aztalun.”
I looked at Metatron.
What was engraved all over the body were not ‘fake’ but ‘real’ God’s letters.
They completely restore the interior of the temple.
And at the same time, a spear flew out and passed by my head.
My cheek was cut and blood was flowing out.
This was a warning.
They haven’t crossed the gate yet, but they won’t remain silent if they attack again.
The guardian who protects the throne.
Metatron looked down at us.
The angel raises his head in a confident manner, as if it were natural.
A truly arrogant gaze.
I frowned at that sight.
He’s so arrogant.
That’s why my greed for him grew even more.
“wait a moment.”
Because I will definitely get it.

After leaving the tomb of Holy Emperor Ordin, I settled back into the ruins of the ruins.
Norman looked at me at the campsite and asked.
“You saw it. “It is a monster that cannot be subdued by human power.”
When I first read Queen Rox’s records, I thought 3,000 Irans troops were annihilated by the creatures here.
But the power of the angel seen earlier is enough. It was large enough to take on an army alone.
It is more threatening than a dragon.
Even the White Bone King is difficult to deal with.
To be honest, even if I got my hands on an angel, I doubt whether I would be able to control it properly.
I probably wouldn’t be able to even attempt to summon it, let alone control it.
“Is this really a Noble Phantasm created by 12,000 priests?”
It is truly the sword of God.
But it’s so worth it.
A marquis-level dragon slayer actually had enough power to hunt a dragon.
The higher ranks are even more powerful than that.
‘Angels’ are the power necessary for a prosperous kingdom of law.
A realm of absolute protection.
It was powerful enough to prevent a vampire invasion.
I can understand why the kings of foreign countries knelt and submitted to the ancient emperor.
Who can resist that appearance?
“Can you really win that?”
Hans asks anxiously.
It is twice the size of the dragon and the white bone king.
In front of that majesty, humans are extremely weak.
“There’s nothing you can’t do.”
However, preparation is needed.
I thought of the tomb of the Holy Emperor.
Holy power spread everywhere.
Such an environment actually works to my advantage.
Summoning either the Bone Dragon or the White Bone King will halve the side effects.
However, angels are too powerful to be subdued as a single entity.
so.
‘Summon at least two guys.’
The power of both the Bone Dragon and the White Bone King was needed.
‘But then.’
My body can’t stand it.
It is questionable whether he will be able to survive even if he minimizes the side effects as much as possible by adding the declaration of Aztalun Sanctuary, a counterfeit branch of the World Tree that Tinya gave him that amplifies his sexual power.
At least Aslan’s World Tree could have survived if it had been here.
I muttered to myself out of regret.
“Is there a way to prevent the overflow of sacred power as much as possible?”
“Hey…”
I looked at Ellis.
While I was thinking about it, Ellis presented me with grilled skewers cooked on firewood.
“Just eat it and think about it.”
I accepted the skewer and ate it.
It’s ancient dragon meat.
Not only is it quite delicious, but according to Norman, it contains mana and helps to recover from fatigue.
“If it’s the runaway sexual power the prince mentioned.”
I glanced at Ellis.
When our eyes met, she scratched her cheek and averted her gaze.
“I can coordinate and control it.”
My eyes widened at those words.
Then she whispered quietly.
“Because I am a saint.”
Ellis She was a saint who was said to have a fragment of God.
**
Ellis looked at Allen, who was staring at him in surprise.
For a few seconds, Ellis felt burdened and avoided looking away.
Ellis could confidently say that he was the second best at controlling sexual power after Raphael.
As she was a family that had served the Seonghwang family for a long time, she knew the characteristics of the Seonghwang family better than anyone else.
‘Your Majesty the Crown Prince and the Prince.’
This is a clan that uses a lot of sexual power to the point where everyone is ignorant.
These people hunt vampires in a frenzy, forgetting that their own sexual power will be depleted.
To that extent, it was a threat and an object of fear to vampires.
That is why there is an ‘Astoria’ family.
A clan that assists them behind the scenes as ‘priests’.
In particular, Ellis is a saint with a fragment of God, and her power is the most overwhelming talent among the clan.
Originally, the corresponding power should only be applied to the Holy Emperor.
‘There are no eyes to see.’
I also owe him a debt for treating a former patient.
Moreover, it seemed that the Holy Emperor had already decided to appoint the 7th Prince as the next Holy Emperor.
It won’t be a problem.
of course.
‘If Grandpa finds out, he might collapse.’
Cardinal Raphael might fall to the ground holding the back of his neck if he saw her assisting the 7th Prince, who had just attempted to rape him.
“You can coordinate it?”
“It’s kind of resonant. “The prince also did it in Laurensis.”
“what?”
When the 7th prince tilted his head, Ellis smiled awkwardly.
The army of skeleton mages he led once caused a resonance of holy power.
At that time, the priests must have felt a miracle.
The Holy Power resonated, and their Holy Power went up significantly for a while.
“It’s a kind of coordination. It’s like prayer. “Increases the power of holy power but reduces maximum consumption.”
In addition, you can also share your holy power.
“Of course, actions are restricted accordingly.”
Ellis glanced at Allen and said.
“If the prince protects me, it is not difficult to resonate. “I can reduce sexual power depletion and runaway as much as possible.”
Allen looked worried.
He looked at Norman.
“What happens if we attack Metatron at the door?”
Norman smiled and said.
“It won’t be the same as before. “At that time, it won’t end with a simple warning.”
The point was that the trick didn’t work.
Ellis waited for Allen’s decision.
After looking at him for a while, Allen sighed.
“then.”
Allen looked at Ellis.
“Please take care of me.”
Ellis smiled at those words.
**
Hans began carving runes onto a large piece of parchment.
Draw runes with complex patterns using powder made from ground magic stones.
He carefully placed a torch on top of it and melted the magic stone.
As time passed, the runes solidified.
“Now, for now, the runes with defensive magic are complete.”
Hans then hung the wyrm’s meat on onion paper and on a tree.
Wait for the monster to take the bait.
Elise stood on the parchment with blood dripping.
Elise, wearing gauntlets, bumped her fists and looked nervous.
“Are you sure you’re okay?”
“Who am I!”
Hans expressed his confidence by pounding his chest.
“Aren’t you the best alchemist? “Maybe it will work!”
Amado? Such irresponsibility….
Ellis said that and looked at Allen and Norman who were hiding in the grass.
Still, I feel relieved if those two are there.
“If this is a barrier magic, it will definitely be an angel’s magic bombardment…”
At that time, the floor rang with a ‘thump!’
Ellis and Hans turned their heads.
I wondered if an ancient dragon had appeared in the grass, but there was nothing to be seen.
No, what you see is a large flower.
It appears to be about 3m tall and has a thick stem.
When Hans tilted his head, something writhed on the floor.
Tree vines grab Hans’ feet.
At the center of the gorgeously blooming flower, my mouth opens with a ‘pop!’
You can see the sap of the flower with a sweet scent.
However, to Hans, it seemed like a terrible passage to hell.
“Aaaah!”
Hans screamed.
The vine swung like a whip.
The large trees around were broken down.
It is quite powerful.
In some ways, it is even more powerful than the ancient dragon’s teeth.
A vine swung towards Ellis, who was standing above the runes. At that time, the runes illuminated and blocked the vines with a transparent membrane.
Ellis was surprised by the sight, and Hans clenched his fists.
“Great! Take a look. Although it is an imitation, it is enough for a hastily constructed Aztalun barrier…”
Hans is swallowed into the carnivorous plant’s mouth.
At that time, the carnivorous plant’s body exploded.
Allen fired the musket.
Allen and Norman came out of the grass.
Norman struck the barrier that protected Ellis with his cane with a look of wonder.
“…It’s solid. “I can’t believe this is the level of strength created through simple alchemy, not magic.”
“It sure looks like a genius is a genius.”
At that time, Hans walked out from among the carnivorous plant corpses and said, covering his nose.
“I told you, didn’t I? “I spent three days and nights designing and building that… wow.”
Hans vomited. Still, he stretched out his hand and searched inside the body of the carnivorous plant.
‘It wasn’t following me as expected. still.’
Hans took out the sap and seeds and put them in a leather bag.
Although it smelled bad, it made me smile.
‘It will be a good elixir.’
All kinds of theories unfolded in Hans’ mind.
It is a sap in which mana is distributed. I thought that if I combined pure holy water without foreign substances created by the 7th prince, it would be a very good medicine.
“You have a good stomach too? “Are you okay?”
Hearing the 7th Prince’s words, Hans shook the leather bag containing the sap.
“Someday, I will have something to write about.”
“Something to write about?”
“It’s all for the prince.”
It’s not a lie.
I was dissatisfied with being dragged into something like this, but the favor I received from him was significant.
Before he died in the desert, he saved his life, explored a dungeon, and encountered a dragon.
Traveled the world discovering ancient runes.
Also, he treated him based on his natural appearance and talents, not based on his status.
Thanks to this, Hans’s perspective on the world changed.
A dream that a mere merchant could not dream of. The 7th Prince gave him the opportunity to make that dream come true.
Of course, I plan to repay the favor.
“Then are you ready?”
Allen looked at the runes that protected Ellis.
There is Hans’ barrier.
Allen will also protect Ellis as much as possible.
Ellis assists Allen.
Two monsters that resonate with holy power and have never been tried before.
The White Bone King, the highest undead being.
The Bone Dragon was the strongest creature in legend.
Summon them both at the same time.
There are no mistakes.
I couldn’t back down after coming this far.
If you came to the dungeon as an adventurer.
“We have one goal.”
Everyone’s eyes turned to Allen.
Allen smiled and said.
“We are stealing the Holy Emperor’s Noble Phantasm.”
To be an adventurer, you have to take at least one treasure.
