Holy Emperor’s Grandson is a Necromancer - Chapter 154
Episode 154 〈In the name of the Lord
〉
Someone screamed.
Others clamped their mouths shut. Their
eyes widened, denying the sights before them.
‘This is a dream.’
‘So there’s suddenly a civil war in peaceful Aslan?’
‘Besides, it’s strange to block the border with orcs.’
‘More than anything…’
The necromancer and slave soldiers on the roadblock swallowed dry saliva.
‘…There’s no way we could deal with monsters like that.’
The scene unfolded before my eyes.
Strange monsters were crawling out of the blue sea of holy water.
The number of them had increased from dozens to hundreds and thousands.
All of them were monsters that had no human form.
No, it was even more terrifying because their human forms were mixed together. .
The bone monsters screamed.
As the words containing holy power echoed in their ears, the Aslan soldiers stiffened.
By the time they gradually came to their senses.
“Brave Aslans, stop the monsters!”
Jeram’s voice rang out.
Jeram, who was stuck on the fence, glared at the Holy King in front of him.
‘Emperor Rahamma’s enemy!’
“Beat the drums and lead!”
Jeram’s voice finally brought the commanders to their senses.
They shouted,
“Prepare for battle!”
“Beat the drum!”
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The sound of drums rang out from the stockade.
But the sound of the drums made Aslan’s soldiers and the monsters even more terrified.
It sounded like the sound of an advance for the monsters.
“For Aslan- !”
The commander shouted from the top of the stockade.
The soldiers shouted with courage, but they couldn’t help but turn blue.
“Shoot!”
The orcs and ogre goblins moved.
They could not retreat.
Since they were under the vampire’s spell, it was the monsters’ fate to fight until the moment of death.
“Load!”
The orcs protested.
The goblins deployed siege weapons.
The arrowheads were pointed skyward and the spike tips of the ballistas were pointed at the sacred monsters.
“Fire!”
The orcs shoot arrows from above the barrier.
The ballista is pushed back.
The arrows fall in a parabolic arc and the ballista passes through the monsters.
Bones are shattered by arrows. They are
pierced by spikes and completely shattered.
But there are only so many of them. As it decreased, it gradually increased.
It became more and more filled with fear.
“Go.”
The monsters moved at the words of the Holy King.
The earth is shaking.
It runs, splashing over the sea of holy water.
Flying arrows and siege wedges.
Even after being hit by it, the sacred undead only stumbled and did not stop their advance.
-Kyaaaaaaa!
Thousands of undead spread out and ran toward the barrier.
The skeleton centipede crawled toward the barrier at breakneck speed.
“Close! “Shut it you idiots!”
Following the necromancer’s command, the ogres moved and quickly closed the barrier.
Once the door was sealed, the skeleton centipede dug into the ground using dozens of hand bones.
The water gushes.
Holy water seeped through the hole.
“The centipede monster disappeared?”
The orcs’ eyes widened.
As they stare blankly into the ground, the back of the fence they were on rises up.
The skeleton centipede’s eyes flashed.
“Quoooooo!”
When one of the ogres held up a club and tried to swing it, the skeletal centipede moved quickly and wrapped around the ogre’s body like a snake.
The nails sharply dug into the ogre’s skin.
The skull’s head bites the ogre’s neck, and its ribs tear the flesh.
Other hands came out from between the spinal vertebrae and raised their swords to cut.
The ogre screamed and fell down.
The orcs’ complexions turned pale.
An ogre bigger than himself was being reduced to a horrible piece of rag.
“It’s coming, it’s coming, the monsters are coming!”
The goblin gasped.
The orcs turned their heads.
Skeleton soldiers with four arms came running.
A bone ladder was hung.
They climbed up at breakneck speed using four arms and two legs.
That was it.
The bugs stuck to the barrier. It is truly
disgusting.
The orcs struck down their spears.
The bones shattered.
Among them, a skeleton soldier grabbed the spear with his other hand and used it as a rope to climb up.
The skeleton soldier arrived on top of the railing. Then the sword was drawn.
The sword was swung in all directions.
The orcs raised their shields to defend against the four blades.
The first sword was blocked by the shield.
The second, third, and fourth blades aimed for the gap and pierced the orc’s body.
A skeleton soldier. He rotated his entire body and swung his four blades.
The Holy King watched the scene.
Skeleton cavalry like centaurs were waiting behind him.
Looking at the solid barrier, Allen lifted up Amon’s magic book and
chanted the summoning spell.
“Damn it, my job is to protect this place.”
Jeram, who was stuck in the stockade, took his body.
We must hold out for at least three days.
That way, we can stop them without sending them to the royal capital for the 10 days that Letton mentioned.
Even if he dies here, he is willing to sacrifice himself if he can regain Aslan’s glory.
“For Aslan-!”
Leton drew his sword.
He drew up his magic power.
His eyes were bloodshot and his entire body’s muscles swelled. He
glared at the Holy King holding the magic book
. He took a deep breath.
He cut down his lifespan to kill with a single blow.
“Oooooooooh-!”
He kicked the ground.
The holy water on the floor swirled
around like a whirlpool. The moment Jeram’s sword was about to strike Allen between the eyes,
the goblins on top of the fence shouted in fear.
“A great being, a great being!”
A huge claw struck down in the holy water and the dragon’s head popped out.
Instinctive fear put the brakes on Jeram’s sword.
“Kasim.”
When Jeram hesitated, Allen summoned a great sword and deflected Jeram’s sword.
Summoning the bone armor, he grabbed Jeram’s neck with his hook-like claws and lifted it up.
“Gagging…!”
“Great being, great being!”
Goblins and orcs tremble.
Those who were unable to kneel and bow their heads or run away shook their heads and denied reality.
“Stop it! “Don’t stand there like idiots, you damn orcs!”
The necromancers shouted loudly.
They prepare to use their magic.
As they hesitated on the fence, looking at the legendary bone dragon, the bone dragon’s head hit the fence.
The once solid barrier crumbles like cookie crumbs.
The necromancers on the fence fall and are crushed by debris.
Flames filled and spouted from the Bone Dragon’s mouth, burning the monsters.
“Kaaaaaa!”
The necromancers and slave soldiers watched the scene with bated breath.
It was only 2 seconds that the Orc was struggling in the flames.
The body collapses in that short period of time.
Even the remains seemed to have been completely burned.
A slave soldier looked blankly at the broken stockade.
Skeleton cavalrymen emerged from the dust of the broken stockade.
He grabbed a long spear and swung it, blowing off the slave soldier’s head.
The cavalry spread out in all directions.
The horses’ hooves trampled even the large orcs.
Everyone, including the orcs and goblins at the stockade, went out to hunt.
Whenever the long spear blade was swung or stabbed, life inevitably disappeared.
-Coooooooo!
The wyvern seen in the sky spread its wings wide.
The skeleton mages riding on it aim their muskets.
We took aim at the resistance forces and pierced them to death one by one.
As the monsters marched, some of the slave soldiers abandoned their weapons and ran away.
One of them lost his footing and fell.
When I look back, a skeleton cavalry is running towards me.
The eye light inside the skull flashed.
He opens his mouth and exhales, even making a bizarre laughing sound.
It’s like the reaper of death.
“Now, save me for a moment, I’m surrendering! surrender-!”
The slave soldier covered his head and shouted.
Then the cavalry passed by the slave soldier.
He stabs the spear at a nearby necromancer holding a staff, pierces it, lifts it up, and throws it away.
The slave soldier’s eyes widened at the sight.
The slave soldier looked at the weapon he had thrown away and quickly shouted to the others.
“If you drop your weapon and surrender, we won’t kill you!”
The slave soldiers were startled and threw away their weapons.
At this, the necromancers quickly shouted.
“What are you doing? If we step back from here, our Aslan will be destroyed…!”
A shadow fell over the necromancer’s head.
The Bone Dragon had flames in its mouth.
The necromancers fell silent. The moment one of them shouted a spell and raised his staff, the flames consumed the necromancer without a trace.
Next to him, a shadow fell.
Even those present die in the flames.
The remaining necromancers saw the scene and threw away their staffs.
They raised both hands to signal surrender.
The bone dragon passed by the necromancers.
The battlefield was cleared in an instant and gradually became quiet
. Jeram, who was captured, looked down at the Holy King.
Bone armor and a mountain goat’s skull.
His eyes were burning and he was breathing out from between his open mouth.
Is this the Holy King?
He looked like a devil .
His overwhelming power.
He is indeed the person who killed King Rahamma.
The Holy King. He looked up at Jeram Lee and said,
“Who did this? Which vampire was involved?”
Jeram’s neck twisted even more.
The veins on his face rose and he turned red.
“Kill me. I am one of Aslan’s twelve lords. I have nothing to tell you!”
“Is the so-called prince of Aslan selling his country for eternal life?”
“This is all for Aslan. I don’t think you know what you’re trying to do? A war with vampires?”
Jeram laughed bitterly.
“I guess they used that as an excuse to gather troops. After eradicating the vampires, aren’t we the next target? Even in old history, you guys have always attacked us. It’ll be the same this time too, you crazy warmongers!”
“The same goes for Aslan.”
“So we can’t mix, vassal states? No, only one side will perish. I will bow to you.”
Jeram glared at the Holy King,
“I will sell my soul to the devil and walk the path of destruction with you. That is the will of King Rahamma!”
Drowning in madness.
Tina, who is of royal blood, seems unable to acknowledge it.
In a way, Tinya can also be said to be a queen who ascended to the throne with the help of the rebel Seonghwangbeopguk, who helped kill Rahamma.
That may be the reason why the feudal lords rebelled.
“Then let me ask you one thing.”
The Holy King pulled Jeram.
“If King Rahamma orders it himself, will you follow me?”
Jeram’s face hardened.
King Seong looks back.
“Damon.”
“Say yes.”
Before we knew it, Damon had come out of the wall and had reached Aslan’s formation.
Twenty thousand troops began to emerge from the walls of the Holy Empire under the command of Salot.
“You know where Rahamma’s remains are buried, right?”
“I know.”
“Guide me there.”
Jeram glared at the Holy King and shouted,
“Are you sure you are trying to defile the Emperor?”
“I am giving you one last chance.”
The Holy King pulled Jeram and made eye contact.
As he faced the blazing eye light, Jeram’s body shrank.
“Choose. Will you follow me and survive, or will you die?”
Jeram, filled with fear at the words of the Holy King, lowered his head.
**
“Why aren’t you drinking!”
Inside the dark prison.
Leton glared at the dark elf shackled in the prison.
Aslan’s queen, Tinya Aslan.
Letton led her to drink the blood in the bowl in front of her.
“You have to drink this to bring peace to Aslan.” “It’s coming!”
“Are you asking me to become a vampire, Leton?”
“Yes! Then we can be saved! Eternal life and all Aslan’s people can enjoy the glory of becoming vampires. This will be the first kingdom of vampires. And you…”
Leton grabbed Tinya by the collar. “She will be a duchess, Duke Duran’s wife.
”
“…”
Tinya gently closed her eyes. It was an intention
to refuse. Leton
cursed. There
were two conditions for becoming a vampire.
One was that one had to have the blood of the progenitor, and the other was the other person’s will.
A dependency contract that only those who want to become vampires can become.
Tinya is rejecting it.
“Damn it…!”
It was when I stretched out my hand and tried to slap Tinya on the cheek.
“Is it bad for you to treat your fiancé poorly?”
Letton stopped his hand.
He turned his head and looked at Duke Duran.
“Master.”
Letton has become a creature.
He was completely following Duran before he knew it.
Letton bowed his head in fear and took a step back.
Duran opened the prison door and looked down at Tinya.
“Are you planning on refusing?”
“Why do you want me?”
“Because only with you can we win Aslan. We can also pollute the World Tree.”
Tinya frowned.
“No matter how much the World Tree was burned and stained with blood, it did not defile. Even with my power, there was no way to stop its divine power. But it would be different for the elves connected to it.”
Duke Duran lowered his waist to meet eye level in front of Tinya.
“I want that power. The desecrated World Tree.”
“…”
“For that, I need your help as a vampire. You probably aren’t bad, but it’s an honor to inherit noble blood.”
Duke Duran called himself a noble blood.
His tone was filled with pride and arrogance towards vampires.
“I refuse.”
“…”
Duke Duran frowned.
“Then I have no choice but to decide on a method. I have no choice but to cut off the four bitches’ heads and then turn them into undead. It will take hundreds of years, but it will be fun to slowly turn them into progenitors. Leton.”
“Yes, master.”
Leton bowed his head.
“Let’s proceed with the marriage with the queen.”
“What does that mean?”
“Proceeding with the ritual of corruption.”
Duke Duran curled the corner of his mouth,
“Call the livestock to the palace. Have the queen executed in front of them and use their blood to turn her into an undead.”
Tinya’s face hardened,
“Queen, enjoy having your soul stained with the blood of your beloved people.”
Tinya’s eyes wavered.
She also frowned for a moment.
Tinya’s gaze fell on Leton.
Leton was biting his nails and shaking his legs.
“Why are you so impatient?”
Duran’s expression didn’t change, but next to him, Leton was sweating and nervous.
“No way.”
Tinya said in a mocking tone,
“Has the Holy King come?”
“This is a pierced mouth!”
As Letton was about to say something, Duke Duran said honestly,
“I heard that the Holy King broke through the border area.”
“…”
Tinya’s face brightened.
“It happened 10 days ago. They say they are currently advancing towards the royal capital at a frightening speed. “We will arrive at the royal capital within today or tomorrow.”
“Then…”
Tinya was relieved.
The idea was that we could prevent the terrible things they were trying to do.
“But even if the Holy King’s army arrives, it will not be able to capture Aslan.”
Duke Duran smiled.
He left the prison, and Letton unshackled Tinya and took her to the king’s hall.
‘The army of blood will soon arrive.’
The Marquis of Kirum is leading the bloody army and is advancing on Aslan’s royal capital.
I heard that it would arrive shortly.
It is said that the blood monarch, the Vampire King, also participated in the battle.
What a great honor!
He has laid the first foundation for the kingdom the Vampire King wants to build.
No matter how holy he is, not only will he not be able to defeat him, but he will also be defeated by the Vampire King.
I had no doubt about that fact.
When Duke Duran was satisfied, one of the creatures approached Duke Duran and shouted:
“Here’s a report!”
Duke Duran turned his gaze to the creature.
“The old army has reached the royal capital of Aslan.”
Duke Duran smiled in satisfaction.
Looks like they’ve arrived.
“Is it a bloody army?”
“…I can’t see the bloody army.”
“What?”
“It’s the Holy King’s army! The Holy King’s army has reached the royal capital!”
Duke Duran’s face froze.
