Holy Emperor’s Grandson is a Necromancer - Chapter 147
Episode 147 〈In the name of the Holy King. 〉
A purgatory was opened in the middle of the square.
The people screamed.
A world that is absolutely horrible and disgusting.
A scream rings out from the sky above the earth made of flesh.
Zombies roam, eating their own kind, and the ships of death float by.
Unlike the people, Allen smiled.
He looked at the people.
Everyone’s attention was focused.
I was waiting for this.
“Look, people!”
Allen shouts at the top of his voice.
“This is the world vampires want!”
what? What are you talking about?
Timong’s eyes turned to purgatory.
That place is a terrible hell where not even vampires can live.
But is this the world that vampires want?
“I will ask you, hell, what they want. Do you want hell like this!”
Count Timon’s mood grew cold.
‘Oh my God, this is…!’
It’s a trap.
He opened purgatory on purpose!
To let everyone in this world know that the existence of a vampire is something to be feared.
What this guy is trying to do is…
“We will stop them.”
They prove that they can stop Purgatory and overpower vampires.
I am speaking to everyone around the world.
Success is absolute.
“Nasus!”
Richie stepped forward.
He lifts the musket and fires bullets.
The purgatory that was unfolding stopped for a moment due to Christmas.
Although the lich is blocking the warp, it was not able to completely block it.
It is impossible to interpret the ancient runes encrypted by Timong in a short time.
‘Yes, it’s impossible. It’s absolutely impossible.’
Even if you’re a lich, all you can do is waste time.
So now is your chance.
Let’s seal it!
“Whew…!”
Count Timon raised both hands.
He slapped the floor with all his might.
The purgatory expanded.
It swirled as if something was being sucked in.
Numerous bony hands came out from the purgatory and held Allen’s hands. I grabbed the body.
Immediately, Allen’s body began to split into molecules.
That’s it!
Count Timon’s expression brightened, but that was only for a moment.
Allen stood tall and crossed his arms. There was no movement.
Count Timon saw that . I felt anxious.
‘Why on earth are you so confident?’
It’s a sealing technique.
He didn’t resist it, nor did he interpret the code.
He accepted it obediently.
For what reason…?
“Viscount Hans Gerrami.”
At the Holy King’s call, a human walked out.
Count Timon’s eyes rolled back.
A young human and numerous paladins beside him brought the large jewel, the heart of Mist Calf, and stood in front of the warp gate.
‘What is it?’
A human called Hans placed Mist Calf’s heart in front of the warp and injected mana into it.
‘No way…!’
“Let’s start deciphering the code. And.”
Count Timon’s eyes widened,
“I will close Purgatory.”
Hans spoke with a confident tone.
Soon, Count Timon’s screams rang out.
**
Hans broke into a cold sweat. His
frightened expression was clearly visible.
He gave Allen only one piece of advice.
– Prevent the warp from opening. Do it.
It was to prevent them from opening the warp.
Just by preventing them, they would be able to prove that humanity has defeated the vampires.
But now they have gone too far.
They are even putting on a performance in front of the people.
-When the warp opens. Can you stop it with your own power? This
is the question asked by the 7th Prince.
In response, Hans confidently said, ‘Of course. Who am I? Aren’t I a genius!’ It was the truth.
Even though he was defeated by the vampires, he was still one step ahead of them. Because I wanted to make a statement.
The 7th Prince smiled at those words.
This is the meaning of that smile.
‘Oh, damn it.’
As expected, it’s a success.
It’s crazy.
‘I’m crazy.’
A story I heard from Ellis in Airans.
When the Holy Emperor family is sure of something, they tend to push ahead without even doubting it.
Allen’s appearance now was similar to that. There was
a risk that he would be sealed, and the possibility that the Holy Emperor Kingdom would be in danger.
Knowing those things , Even so, Allen was enjoying it.
‘Are you enjoying it?’
Hans looked at Allen and shook his head.
That can’t be possible. He
is the 7th prince who was reluctant to become the Holy King.
There is no way he would enjoy such a dangerous job.
This is the perfect follow-up to his mistake of saving Count Timon.
‘Prince . You trusted and entrusted me with this task.’
Hans looked at purgatory.
Part of Allen’s head was torn off and sucked in.
But he looked at Hans with unwavering eyes.
‘Yes, I can do it! Damn, I have to endure the abuse!’
Hans gritted his teeth.
He put on his goggles.
He put on leather gloves and a lab apron and fluttered around. He
glared at Purgatory, holding the heart of Mist Calf with his left hand and reaching for the warp gate with his right hand.
‘Instead, the Viscount’s I’m not satisfied with my position. You’ll have to give me the position of count, or even marquis or duke. For that much merit…’
Hans widened his eyes.
‘I’ll try to make you stand up!’
I went into warp analysis.
I looked through the goggles to see the flow of magic power.
Encrypted runes.
I imagined the image.
It was like seeing a single door.
A tightly encrypted lock.
Hans grabbed a bunch of keys, one by one. I inserted it into the key hole.
It doesn’t fit.
Next.
It doesn’t fit!
Next.
I inserted countless keys into the key hole over and over again.
Cold sweat breaks out.
Half of Allen’s body is sucked in.
‘This much…! ‘
It went into the keyhole.
‘It hit!’
Unlock the lock and open the door.
Control of some of the magic flowing in the warp has been transferred to Hans.
‘Next.’
Hans opened the door and then looked at the closed door.
He interprets it little by little.
It is fast and unstoppable.
It is accurate and unmistakable.
Hans’s eyes became red and his nose bleed from fatigue.
‘A human… is that right?’
Count Timon’s eyes were filled with astonishment.
He was unraveling the overlapping codes one by one.
‘…This is the last one.’
Hans seemed to be looking at a huge castle wall with the last encrypted rune in front of him.
Hans gritted his teeth and stretched out both hands to stir the air.
He controls both the runes and the flow of magic power.
Mist Calf’s magic power is synchronized with mana. It moved.
‘Faster, a little faster!’
Just a few seconds felt like dozens of hours had passed.
Hans’ movements as he was interpreting the code stopped.
Charlotte’s eyes widened at the sight, and Allen just watched.
Hans let down his hands.
His shoulders slumped. He collapsed on the floor.
He was breathing heavily and looked up at Warf with a vain look.
Timong burst into laughter with a mesmerized face at that sight.
“Ha ha ha! Yes, it’s impossible.”
Count Timon glared at Hans with trembling eyes.
“No human being can interpret the ancient runes I created. It’s been 1500 years and you’re interpreting my life itself? That’s nonsense. You have been defeated!”
Hans flinched and looked at Count Timon.
“Defeat?”
Hans raised his finger:
“That is what I will say.”
Hans snapped his fingers,
“Your defeat, vampire.”
Black hands grasped the gaping entrance to the warp.
Timong’s eyes widened.
They are coordinators.
It’s closing the warp gate.
Hans said, looking at Count Timon.
“1500 years of knowledge? Yes, you must have such vast knowledge. But I…”
Hans grabbed Timon by the collar and pressed his forehead against his.
“We have knowledge passed down from generation to generation. Which do you think will be stronger: the dozens of extra knowledge of our ancestors or the vampires? “Don’t look down on humans, vampire!”
Count Timon’s eyes widened.
“…What is your identity?”
Hans said, straining his neck.
“Alchemist of the Frontier and.”
Hans turned his gaze to Allen.
As the warp closes, the lost body is restored.
“I am now Viscount Hans Gerrami, who serves the Holy King.”
“It was a good match. “You were defeated by humans.”
At those words, Count Timon burst into laughter.
He’s a genius.
No, the word genius is an understatement, he is a monster.
How can humans become like that?
He far surpassed himself, who was called a genius in ancient times.
Did you say it was passed down from generation to generation?
Don’t be ridiculous. This is knowledge that is less than 1,000 years old at best.
The knowledge accumulated as a human being, and the talent and effort that comes with it.
I beat myself with it.
Compared to that, what about yourself?
At best, he sacrificed his soul for alchemy and became a vampire.
In the end, I couldn’t jump over the one person in front of me.
“Would you like to admit it?”
Count Timon gritted his teeth.
“I can not admit it.”
It’s a whopping 1500 years. How much continuous effort did you make during that infinite time?
But humans…!
“Yes you bastard!”
Count Timon opened his mouth.
Open your mouth with all your might.
When I reached out my hand towards Hans, who was holding him by the collar, Timong’s head was grabbed.
“You still have work left to do. count.”
Lifting up the burning Count Timon.
And then he hit his head towards the closing purgatory.
“Aaaaaaaaaaaah!”
A scream rings out.
Count Timon’s head is split into molecules.
It’s not like being sucked into the warp.
The head is disappearing as a side effect of the warp.
Soon, the head disappeared.
Allen grabbed the headless neck and lifted it up.
With countless people in sight, Allen declared.
“We are believers of Gaia.”
Look, you vampires.
If you are alive, you must hear these words.
“We are vampire hunters.”
This is Seonghwangga.
I have a power that you guys can’t surpass.
“I will command you in the name of Holy King Allen.”
And I will declare it here.
“The hunt for vampires on the continent begins.”
I declare war on you.
**
The Marquis of Kirum, dressed as a clown in the midst of a large crowd, had a blank expression.
He watched the entire scene from beginning to end as his alter ego disappeared and one life was lost.
“I won!”
“I killed a vampire!”
“Long live His Majesty the Holy King!”
“As expected, humanity will not lose!”
“Down with the vampires!”
Saint King Allen lifted up the dying Count Timon.
Even though it was a terrible sight of a vampire family burning, the humans cheered.
It looks like he is engulfed in madness.
The appearance of relying entirely on the Holy King with all his fear and terror.
In front of those fanatics, the Holy King stood on the head of the Bone Dragon.
The burning Count Timon is being used for propaganda purposes.
Is that something a priest can do?
This is absolutely not something that can be done in front of a sacred goddess statue.
This showed a more vicious and cruel side than the devil in fairy tales.
This was decided.
The vampires were defeated and humans gained leadership.
There will certainly be some among these who long for the existence of a vampire.
A being that does not suffer from any disease, does not die of old age, and values great power and pleasure.
Because there is no creature more perfect than this.
However, the moment he saw Purgatory and the moment the vampire was killed, his mind must have changed.
The feeling of hatred towards vampires that if you become a vampire you will be killed by the Holy King has become ingrained in your bones.
Humans who have longed for and feared vampires will turn their backs and praise the Holy Family.
Fear is awe.
-Marquis Kirum Please don’t step forward and ask me a favor.
Marquis Kirum recalled the words Count Timon had left behind.
-The guy is getting stronger, so if we can’t seal him, we’ll have to use another tactic.
Marquis Kirum pressed his temples.
Timong’s last request.
-Let’s create an army.
Even the Holy King creates an army.
We need an army to fight him.
Concerned that his revenge would fail, he bequeathed his share to Kirum.
It was necessary to create a group stronger than the army that King Seong would create.
– Raise a bloody army with those who are cruel and greedy. Let us create an army that will worship the night and bring down Yudai, the god of death, so that we can become gods.
-If that’s not enough, there’s a sealed door in the northwest.
– Unseal those who were sealed by the gods. It’s better to have everything ready by then. That is…
Marquis Kirum glared at the Holy King who was standing tall over the Bone Dragon.
-It will be the only way for us to win.
“Okay, Holy King.”
Marquis Kirum glared at Allen with eyes stained with anger.
‘I will admit defeat this time.’
But that’s not all.
We will progress further and become stronger.
When that time comes…
“We will win.”
The Marquis of Keyrum passed through the crowd.
**
The vampire incident put the imperial palace on alert, but unfortunately, the succession ceremony for the Holy King continued.
I returned to the imperial palace and knelt before the Holy Emperor.
The Holy Emperor placed the crown on my head. And he declared that he had become a holy king.
In Daejeon, many nobles shouted and I couldn’t help but make a blank expression.
Oh my god, what on earth have I done?
So night came.
“You are excellent, Prince.”
At Charlotte’s words, I jumped into bed.
My body went limp from fatigue.
My heart feels like screaming.
I stopped what the vampire wanted to do, but thanks to that, I was crowned Holy King.
He was even temporarily granted the authority of the Prosperous Celts.
-Humans are animals that are obsessed with atmosphere.
I remembered something a psychologist said.
Yeah that was important.
atmosphere.
I ended up being too eager to deal with the vampires.
Hundreds of undead were kept as is due to the excessive summoning of the Bone Dragon.
The sound of Ellis’ chant and the cheers of the people.
Thanks to you, I was so excited that I lost my senses.
“Am I crazy? Why did I make such a fuss?”
I thought of Count Timon.
He didn’t even lift a finger to show his dignity.
The reason is simple.
This is because it would have been difficult to show an explosive reaction from the people if it did not come out to that extent.
People are cheering on the streets until late at night.
I was tired and wanted to sleep, so I had to cover my ears with a pillow.
“Isn’t that too much? It was a big gamble, prince. “No matter how genius I am…”
Hans also sank down on the sofa, covering his eyes with the back of his hand.
“Gambling?”
I retorted,
“What do you mean?”
Hans stood up from the sofa, looked at me in protest, and said,
“Are you talking about that? The warp gate. The warp gate! If the seal failed, then why did you do such a thing…!”
“There’s no way you can fail, right?”
Hans’ eyes widened.
“I believed that you could stop it. That’s why I entrusted it to you.”
“Ah, anyway, aren’t you believing it too much?”
“Is it that big of a deal to trust a subject?”
Hans closed his mouth.
I looked at Hans and then sprawled out on the bed.
“Thanks to those damn vampires, I have more work to do starting tomorrow.”
“Isn’t this actually a good thing? He is a prosperous king. Now he can become a prosperous person.”
Charlotte said happily.
Is this a good thing?
I’m glad I’m not tied up in the imperial palace.
“…I’ll be busy starting tomorrow.”
Hans and Charlotte looked at me.
I looked at them and said,
“Grandfather asked me what I would do first as the Holy King.”
In response to those words, Charlotte cautiously asked,
“So what did you say you were going to do?”
“Me? That’s right…”
I lay on the bed and looked at the ceiling and said,
“10,000 Yang Byeong-seol.”
“…?”
“I’m thinking of training 10,000 troops instead of the existing 5,000.”
Charlotte and Hans’ eyes widened.
I lay on my side in bed and looked at Charlotte and Hans.
“The test period is one year.”
A successful family is enough to raise an army to exterminate vampires.
So,
“I need you to help.”
I said with a nonchalant smile.
