Holy Emperor’s Grandson is a Necromancer - Chapter 133
Episode 133 〈Extra Priest〉
The dance hall of the mansion.
There was no ceiling, so the floor was stained white from the falling snow.
Charlotte covered her mouth and stumbled on the loose snow.
Her expressionless face was distorted and tears were forming.
In the end, I couldn’t bear it anymore and fell limp, leaning against the wall of the gym.
“…It must be strong.”
This is my first time seeing Charlotte look disheveled.
There was no need to drink too much, but after teaching me about the effectiveness of the elixir, I emptied the entire bottle.
I approached her feeling sorry.
I looked at her and squatted down to eye level.
I asked, waving my hand.
“are you okay? Would you like some holy water? “It’s also effective in relieving hangovers.”
“It’s okay.”
Charlotte put her head on her forehead and forced herself to stand up, feeling like her head was about to break.
She stood up using her sword as a staff and gave a resentful look.
“Now, drink this first.”
I summoned Seongsu and held it out to her as if to cleanse her mouth.
Charlotte drank the holy water in her hand.
The complexion appears to have improved somewhat.
As I was patting Charlotte on the back, Hans walked over, holding a parchment and a pen.
“Are you going to test its efficacy from now on?”
Hans looks quite excited.
He seems to want to record how great the results he has created are.
“I’ll do it in a bit. “Once Charlotte’s condition improves.”
“It’s okay now. I still have some anemia left, but it’s tolerable.”
Charlotte covered her mouth with the back of her hand and glanced at me.
Judging by the power in her eyes, she must have gained some energy.
If what Hans said is true, the higher the level, the better. It is said that the effect is minimal.
In the case of Charlotte, we had to wait and see how effective it would be.
And there is only one way to see the effect of the elixir.
I walked to the training hall and stood across from Charlotte.
I summoned a great sword and held it down, holding it.
“Charlotte sparring .” “Why don’t you try it?”
Charlotte flinched.
She looked at me with a complex expression.
“You mean sparring?”
She seems quite surprised.
I guess it’s because I’ve never sparred with her before.
At the time of my exile, I was out of shape and had no talent with a sword, so I was also reluctant.
However, with Cassim, I am now capable of close combat to a certain degree. .
I wanted to compete with Charlotte.
“What do you think?”
“great.”
Charlotte’s tone of voice rose.
I don’t know why, but the corners of her mouth rose slightly, showing she was happy.
The other person agreed.
That’s right.
“Kasim.”
It’s better to start off right.
Kasim’s spirit is summoned and the great sword resides.
Physical abilities and combat knowledge are transmitted through the great sword.
I took a deep breath, raised my sword, and pointed it at Charlotte.
As if responding, Charlotte smiled and bowed her head in courtesy.
He stands across from me and pulls his sword from its sheath.
Wearing white armor that fits the body with a beautifully stretched waist, the precise movements of drawing a sword are like watching a beautiful portrait painting.
A small amount of white snow piled up on her silver hair.
My image was reflected between the red eyes.
Charlotte pulled out her sword, lowered her posture and glared at me.
The atmosphere around me has changed.
There is a quiet silence and you even feel the illusion of the air becoming heavier.
Feeling intimidated, I muttered without realizing it.
“Please be gentle.”
“I will do my best.”
…Do you want to get revenge on the elixir?
I looked at Hans.
It was a gesture to signal the start of sparring.
Hans nodded and raised his hand as if he understood the meaning.
And then he slowly got off and shouted.
“Start.”
Charlotte’s delicate feet step on the ground.
As she lowered her waist and her eyes became sharp, her appearance disappeared.
For a moment, I thought I had missed Charlotte’s new form.
When I recognized her again, it was right in front of my nose. .
Belatedly, I heard the sound of a wave.
A snowstorm blew behind her.
I saw myself with a puzzled expression in Charlotte’s eyes.
“Oh no!”
Charlotte stepped on the ground, rotated 360 degrees around her foot, and swung her sword.
I raised my great sword and blocked Charlotte’s sword.
Bang!
Sparks flew out with an intense metallic sound.
My muscles and bones screamed.
I did not use my holy power. It was a power achieved through pure physical ability.
Just with that alone, my arm went numb and felt like it was going to explode.
“…Power like an ogre.”
As she unconsciously muttered to herself, Charlotte’s eyes became fierce.
The sword swung from bottom to top.
Bang!
Dozens of collision sounds were heard, starting with a single metallic sound.
Charlotte swung the sword from various directions at a frightening speed. .
I blocked the sword and took a step back.
Based on Cassim’s reaction speed, understanding of swordsmanship, and experience, she is overwhelmingly behind Charlotte.
Is it the power of the elixir?
No, she hasn’t used her holy power yet.
This is purely her effort. It must be the result of a lot of effort.
“Let’s get started.”
I stepped back and raised my holy power.
The holy power spread throughout my body through my blood vessels.
The golden rune Aztalune also took effect, greatly increasing my physical abilities and reaction speed.
All my senses were amplified and I caught Charlotte’s movements.
Strongly . The falling blizzard feels like a slow falling snow.
Even Hans’ movements felt slow.
With all time slowing down, only Charlotte moved nimbly.
Her body movements are flexible, as if dancing.
The blade of the sword flies to her waist.
Holy power on the great sword. I injected it and deflected Charlotte’s sword.
I can’t just let it go like this.
[Wind God’s Spirit].
The wind condenses on the great sword.
I widened the distance and pulled the great sword in.
If this were to happen, even Charlotte would have a hard time blocking it.
“I’m going. ”
I struck away the condensed wind with my great sword.
A snowstorm breaks out.
The intangible blade flew towards Charlotte.
“…”
Only then did Charlotte use her holy power.
A faint but white aura flows from her body.
Pieces of light gather from the sword he was holding, completely surrounding the sword and becoming one.
She held the sword handle with both hands and raised it high.
“Ugh!”
I take a deep breath and open my eyes wide.
He faced the blade of the wind blade with his red eyes and slashed the sword with all his might.
The Great Sword of Wind collides with the Holy Sword and is cut off.
The blade of the wind blade split left and right, passing through Charlotte, hitting the wall of the gym and exploding.
Charlotte emerged from the blizzard and clouds of dust.
He lowered his waist and snuggled in, smiling brightly at me.
“This time I…”
The moment she heard the words, her vision reversed.
Before I knew it, I was looking at the sky.
When I rolled my eyes and looked down, Charlotte’s foot caught my leg and broke my balance.
As a bonus, he pushes my chest with his left hand and knocks me down.
When placed on the ground, Charlotte’s arms were restrained by her knees and her left hand was pressed against her chest.
The sword in my right hand was aimed at my neck.
“…I won. Right?”
It was only for a moment, but a soft tone of voice reached my ears.
I looked up at Charlotte, who was on top of me and pointing her sword at me.
Before she knew it, her expression hardened and became like ice.
It seemed like she was trying hard to hide her emotions, but the corner of her mouth twitched faintly.
I am truly happy that you defeated me.
This guy has grown while I haven’t seen him in a while.
There may be an effect from the elixir, but you must have worked hard before that.
Charlotte, with her genius talent, natural physical ability, and hard work, truly possesses the qualities of a natural paladin.
I remembered the first time I met her.
“Wasn’t it like this back then?”
Charlotte was startled and smiled bitterly.
He stood up and stretched out his hand to me.
“It was like that.”
I took his hand and stood up.
It’s a shame, I feel a little resentful.
I thought we would be somewhat equal if we used Kassim, but I never thought we would be so overwhelmingly pushed back.
I put my sword on the floor of the training ground and relaxed myself.
Then I looked at Charlotte and Hans.
Hans approached Charlotte and asked a question.
“What are the effects of the elixir?”
Charlotte told what she felt as she warmed up.
“It certainly seems to be effective. My body felt lighter and my head became clearer, which had a significant effect on my sexual power control. However, there is a strong feeling that it is temporary…”
“It may be a little bit, but it is cumulative. “The effect will change over time!”
Hans was excited and wrote down on parchment.
Although it is small, it is also effective for shallots.
I looked away when I saw that.
Gourd bottles piled up in the middle of the training hall.
These are all sap created by Hans.
They said it takes about a week to manufacture each piece.
If it can be mass-produced with the help of other alchemists, the time will also be shortened.
The problem was the amount of sap from the man-eating plant.
Since it was a limited ingredient, you had to visit Taitalos to obtain it.
“Is it effective?”
I turned my head and looked at Charlotte.
She nodded energetically.
“Yes, it definitely was.”
Even the voice was satisfactory.
I never thought he would like sparring this much. I think it would be nice to hang out with him sometimes.
I took the gourds.
Now there is something to do.
The military is positive.
I headed to Lord Gerald’s office.
Since Lord Gerald is in prison, albeit temporarily, all authority is automatically delegated to me.
In the mansion’s office, I unfolded the parchment and pressed a pen.
“If it’s definitely effective, it’s a good idea to try it.”
write a letter
The place to send it is decided.
Luan and Hilda of the Holy Family, Tinya, Aslan’s princess, and Yuria, the priest girl in Airans, etc.
There is also Saint Alice, but she will still be here in the library, so I just need to deliver it to her myself.
Those who are trustworthy and do not abuse their power.
It was also written to people who would be able to protect this prosperous kingdom over time.
“It will be a great help to the prosperous kingdom in the future.”
I looked at the written document.
Last phrase.
The author was not listed.
It would be difficult if my name became known.
These days, the vampires have been making moves as if they are keeping an eye on me.
It was clear just by looking at the Kingdom of Rom and Airans.
In that case, you will need the most appropriate thing to hide your identity.
[A priest extra from the Seonghwang family.]
I smiled in satisfaction as I wrote down the postscript.
Lastly, I wrote a letter to Seonghwang Celt.
The content is simple.
Informing about the training of clergy.
“I feel like I’m arguing for the 100,000-armed force theory.”
That might be too much, though.
After writing the last letter, I glanced at the gourd.
“But is this really that good for your health?”
As long as it’s good for your health, it doesn’t matter what it tastes like.
Holy water was poured into the gourd.
When I shake it, a bad smell comes out.
It must be as much as it is good for your body.
I covered my nose and put it in my mouth.
**
‘It’s just curiosity. ‘I have no intention of meeting anyone else.’
Schupel came to the manor’s mansion.
Although there were guards, the guards obediently let them go when they said they wanted to meet Harmon face to face.
This is because the guards are well aware that Harman and Schupel of the Holy Cross are familiar.
Schupel, who was hiding in the mansion, felt impatient.
The elixir he took was quite suspicious.
There were no side effects while significantly increasing sexual power and physical sensation.
There is no way something like this just comes out.
Also, it must have been something that Allen did, or something that that suspicious extra or something made.
‘But I haven’t heard that Allen has any extras.’
I did some research on people around Allen.
Charlotte and Harman and Hilda and Ruan Gernold and Princess Tinya and others.
We have a significant relationship.
However, none of them have the name ‘extra’.
It is most likely a pseudonym.
‘As a brother, it’s just a worry. It’s definitely not out of curiosity.’
I was curious about its identity.
I wonder if there is another talent hidden in the Prosperous Kingdom.
‘But didn’t you hear the scream earlier?’
When I entered the mansion, I felt like I heard a familiar voice, but since the guards were quiet, I thought it was just my mood.
Schupell, passing through the hallway of the mansion, looked at the window.
Night is coming.
As the appointment time that the extra mentioned was approaching, I felt anxious.
If you are not careful, your paths may diverge.
“Great! It’s definitely effective. Oh, it’s such a shame I’m dying. “I’m bringing more sap from Taitalos.”
His gaze went down the window and looked at the snow-covered training ground.
Schupel stopped walking.
I looked at ‘Hans’ in the training hall with startled eyes.
He is sitting with his back against the great sword stuck in the floor and playing with his pen on the cold floor.
“We need an experimenter to further confirm its efficacy. “It seems like the prince wants that too.”
Muttering to oneself is quite loud.
He seemed so excited that he was oblivious to his surroundings.
Schupel stiffened as he looked at him.
The gourd next to the great sword that Hans is leaning on his back.
It was something quite familiar to the eye.
‘No way, the author…’
Extra?
Schupel watched Hans with his eyes wide open.
He writes on parchment while using a pen full of passion.
As a researcher, I feel a thirst for alchemy.
Additionally, his loyalty to the royal family was evident when he unconsciously called the prince.
‘Was there a person like that?’
If Allen had told someone about the resurrection, that person would also be a trustworthy person.
As Schupel was thinking deeply, a person came to mind.
‘Yes, it definitely was there. One of Allen’s close associates. ‘Alchemist Hans!’
I heard he was a miscellaneous merchant he met in Aslan while traveling.
I’ve heard that he has outstanding abilities, but I never thought he could wield a great sword and even use holy power!
He possesses truly amazing martial arts skills.
A hidden talent of the Seonghwang family.
Schupel reflected on the true nature of ‘extra’ in his mind.
It was then.
Ding-! Ding-! Ding-!
Schupel stopped and turned his head in surprise.
The servants and maids of the mansion are busy moving and the guards are running.
Schupel called one of the guards over.
“What’s going on?”
The guard’s face turns white.
He looked at Schupell and shouted.
“Don’t you know it when you hear it? It’s the bell that announces an undead attack! Gravekeeper, quickly pack up your equipment and head to the outer wall.”
Schupel nodded.
He was familiar with the sound of the bell.
However, it was on a different level from the warning bells he had ever heard.
The soldier also looked anxious.
What on earth could have come to do this?
Schupel looked at Hans one last time and moved his body. .
He also had to fulfill his duty as a guardian of this place.
**
The prisoners on the outer wall turned pale. They
were so entranced that they just opened their mouths dumbly.
Even when the undead attacked, they calmly blocked them and also recited the names of Gaia and the saint. These are the people who sang and prayed.
Now, they were in a blank state, unable to even think.
“What happened?”
They looked at the undead approaching from the darkness beyond the outer wall.
They saw zombies, ghouls, durahans, mummy lycans, etc.
Although they could see mid-to-high-level undead, there was nothing they could not stop with Ronia’s power.
However, the number was so large that it was expected that the damage would be severe.
If only it were ‘them.’
One of the prisoners broke out in a cold sweat and said,
“…It’s a giant.”
Amid the cries of the dead, the sound of something crying rang out.
The earth shook and a natural blizzard collided with something huge. A
huge humanoid monster reaching 8 meters in height.
There were about 30 of them in total.
Massive fingers and stone pillars with thick muscles reminiscent of hard armor. They had the same two legs.
Their developed angular jaws opened and white breath flowed out.
The Jotuns.
The giants who had become zombies were advancing towards Ronia.
