Holy Emperor’s Grandson is a Necromancer - Chapter 159
Episode 159 〈Another King〉
The vampires were nervous.
In their field of vision, they could see the royal palace balcony in the distance, Celtic All Falls.
That’s a success.
One of the absolute powers that oppressed and hunted vampires for thousands of years.
It is also a monster that is said to be the strongest of all time.
Their compatriots have been hunted by them, with their throats cut and impaled on stakes.
Rather than being embarrassed by the vampire invasion, such an absolute being is smiling.
The vampires who had been scamming etc. turned blue.
Marquis Kirum lowered his head as he looked at Celt in the distance.
“As expected… it’s impossible. Even though there is no Holy King, the Holy Celts are still alive and well.”
Marquis Kirum spoke to the Vampire King.
This incident was planned by Keyroom.
This is because the Vampire King said he did not want to delay any longer.
Since it was a job directly undertaken by the Vampire King, sacrifices were necessary.
Duke Duran was the sacrifice.
The Vampire King, whose entire body was wrapped in bandages and rags, silently raised his spear.
He cut his own wrist and bled.
I presented it to Marquis Kirum.
“I grant you the dukedom, Kirum. “We need an operation committee now that Duran is gone.”
“What an honor! Ha, but if you disperse your power with the prosperous Celts in front of you.”
“Small power is meaningless in front of the author.”
Kirum lowered his head as if he was grateful and drank the blood with both hands.
The Vampire King looked at his spear.
The window also soaks up blood and becomes even redder.
“It is time to use the spear you made, Grand Duke Ivaldi.”
The Vampire King looked to the side.
A man over 2 meters tall with his entire body covered in red muscles.
It has a pair of horns on its head and beard.
In both hands, he holds tongs and a hammer used in a blacksmith shop.
Archduke Ivaldi raised his head stiffly even though the Vampire King was in front of him.
“Mugio is tempered for 500 years by soaking the blood of 100 people every year. “I am confident that its performance is not inferior to that of the Holy Family’s Noble Phantasm.”
“excellent.”
The Vampire King stepped forward.
“What are they doing? Without preparing to attack!”
“Be proud. “We must never be intimidated by predatory livestock!”
The two dukes shout.
Accordingly, knights and nobles form ranks.
Two Duke-level people looked at the Vampire King and lowered their heads.
The Vampire King looked at the vampires.
There are as many as 500 founders.
“How much time will it take if I fail this task, Keyrum?”
Kirum said, lowering his head.
“It depends on the situation, but assuming the two dukes are safe, it will be 400 years.”
The Vampire King turned his head and looked at the successful Kelt.
I made eye contact with Celt.
“Now there is no place to retreat anymore. “I will no longer watch my people die.”
The Vampire King aimed his spear.
“We make this our territory. We will turn humans into livestock and we will become gods!”
At the vampire king’s cry, the vampires cheered and the dead screamed.
“I will stand at the forefront. “Desire the blood of livestock and tear their limbs to death.”
The Vampire King jumped up.
Cerberus places him on his head.
“With this, we will leave behind a legend in our long history.”
The Vampire King swung his spear.
“Let’s go for the Kingdom of Blood!”
“For the vampire king-!”
The vampires ran screaming.
Cerberus ran out and the Vampire King’s eyes flashed.
Blood drops fall from among the red clouds that cover the sky.
“Kill them!”
“Hun the livestock!”
More than 50,000 dead people rushed to Lorensis, the capital of the Holy Empire.
**
Drop-…. Drop-….
The Paladins standing tall on the outer wall raised their heads.
Red dark clouds are blocking the sun’s light.
Meanwhile, a rain of blood flows down.
Blood filled with magical power.
It contains poison.
Just breathing will cause humans to suffer, and if anyone dies, they will become undead.
It will give the vampire great strength.
The people in the city center trembled in fear due to the bloody rain.
They heard the news.
There is an army of terrible evil spirits encamped outside.
An army that sucks blood and eats human flesh has invaded.
People were hiding inside their homes in a nightmarish reality.
The windows were closed and the family hugged each other in fear.
But there was a sound that rang in their ears.
“Long live His Majesty!”
The sound of iron armor rings.
Although it was slight, the ground shook.
The people who were with their families, cowering, raise their heads.
“Do not be afraid, people!”
Golden light is visible from the window in a dark room.
The people mustered up courage and opened the windows with trembling hands.
At that moment, what appears in their eyes is a golden procession.
Those wearing golden armor march.
He wore heavy armor and carried various weapons.
The ground trembled with every step they took, and the rain of blood evaporated and disappeared before it reached them.
Those who stand in front of him.
The golden crosses of Cardinal Raphael and King of Swords Oscar follow behind the flourishing Celtic Allpoles.
“Long live His Majesty!”
As they approached the outer wall, the cries rang out more intensely.
Thousands of believers knelt in the square.
Put your hands together and pray towards the statue of Goddess Gaia.
The prosperous Celt shouts.
“Have courage, people.”
Soft words rang in the ears of the people.
“We will not be defeated by false evil spirits.”
Seonghwang arrived in front of the goddess statue.
“We are victors and God’s care will protect us.”
As the Holy Emperor shouts, the monks’ prayers become more intense.
Raphael opens his mouth and sings a chant.
Sparks flew from the Celtic warhammer.
Raise the warhammer.
“People, vampires, look!”
And then he slashed at the altar in front of the goddess statue.
“This is the power of our Holy Family!”
The altar is destroyed by the warhammer.
As a result, lightning pierces the red fog in the sky and strikes. The
blue sky spreads.
Red dark clouds disappear around the Holy Emperor Kingdom.
The electric current flowing from the warhammer and lightning falls from the sky.
It surrounds the statue of the goddess. .
The people who opened the window opened their mouths. Their
eyes were shocked and their bodies trembled.
“Gaia… Goddess!”
The 20m tall goddess statue moved.
Wearing armor and a helmet.
The goddess statue with a shield on its back and a sword on its waist moved as if it were alive
. The goddess statue stepped on the ground. She
placed her hand on the handle of the sword and pulled out the sword.
As the sword is drawn, sparks fly from the heat of friction.
“The Goddess has descended!”
The believers shouted.
The statue of the goddess lowered its hand.
Celt accordingly stood on top of it. The goddess statue
headed toward the outer wall.
The people hiding in the houses cheered when they saw Celt in full swing.
There was no fear.
They prayed more earnestly as their faith deepened. “Pray up
your prayers. Your prayers will soon become our strength!”
The soldiers on the outer wall also grabbed their weapons.
They slammed their weapons on the ground.
As the sound echoed, their morale rose.
“Let’s give it a try, you vampires!”
Celt burst into laughter and the Paladins shouted,
“His Majesty is coming!”
“Shout! Do not let the cries of the dead reach the ears of the people!”
Crown Prince White and First Prince Luan shout.
The guards guarding the imperial palace form a line on the castle wall.
The soldiers draw bows and crossbows coated
with holy water. Silver ballistas are aimed.
“Lift it up!”
The symbol of the Holy Emperor’s Kingdom in the shape of a tree with a soft light was placed all over the outer wall.
Priests prayed.
Wizards chanted spells.
Crown Prince White looked straight ahead.
The 50,000 dead were spreading out and coming in. Vampires stuck in.
White shouted at the top of his voice,
“Fire!”
Arrow magic filled with silver wedge holy water was fired.
The approaching dead disappeared in an instant.
The magic created a flame, and two progenitors jumped out of the explosion.
“We open the way!”
Two duke-level men threw off their human masks.
Duke Agares, whose lower body was in the shape of a crocodile and his upper body was in the shape of an old man.
He put his hand down towards the ground.
The ground shook and the ground split.
Cracks appeared in the solid outer wall, and soldiers fell. They stumbled.
“Koooooooooooo!”
Another peacock,
with the head of a huge lion but no body. Between the heads, five legs of the beast hang like windmills.
Duke of Buere.
He rolled over.
Everywhere it passes, it digs up the ground and creates fire.
His body hit the solid outer wall, shaking it further.
Nevertheless, the outer wall did not collapse.
The two dukes were embarrassed.
“Oh my god, isn’t it falling apart?”
I never would have thought that the outer wall of the Holy Kingdom would be this strong.
The two looked through the cracked exterior wall.
It is engraved with runes made of silver and Elterra powder.
“…Defense rune.”
“You’re crazy. You cast this magic on the entire outer wall!”
At that time, Cerberus with the vampire king on board advanced.
The paladins shouted.
“Aim for him!”
“He is the vampire king!”
Siege weapons and arrows attacked Cerberus, but the Vampire King raised his spear.
Drops of blood form on the window.
When I swung it, the slash flew and exploded on the outer wall.
“…!”
The Paladins burst out in shock and looked at their dead colleagues.
-Kaaaaaaaaaa!
Those who have become ghouls attack their colleagues.
“Drill it.”
The Vampire King grabbed Cerberus’ mane.
Cerberus slammed his whole body into the cracked outer wall.
The outer wall collapses.
A huge stone sword flies into the place where it passes through.
The blade grazed Cerberus’ cheek.
The Vampire King raised his head.
The vampires approaching the outer wall also stopped and raised their heads in surprise.
“…I’ve never heard of such a thing.”
Beyond the outer wall, a 20m tall statue of the goddess stood holding a sword in her right hand and a Celtic warhammer in her left hand.
The vampire king’s eyes widened inside the bandages.
“Prosperous Celtic All Falls.”
“Vampire King Blandmir.”
They look at each other.
And the two smile. They look at each other with
crazy gazes and aim their weapons.
The biggest obstacle to what they want to do is right in front of them.
“The head of the Holy Emperor . “The moment to cut has come.”
“I’ll take your skull and show it off to my grandchildren.”
Cerberus moves.
It rushes towards the goddess statue, and the Celt on top of the statue’s hand jumps down and swings the war hammer.
The Vampire King also swings his spear and deflects the Celt’s hammer.
The goddess step back. He lifts
the shield on his back and hits Cerberus’ head. It was struck.
The head in the center let out a groan, and the heads of the dogs on the left and right lunged at the goddess statue again.
Every time the huge monster and the goddess statue moved, the surrounding area collapsed.
“We have come across a troublesome being.”
“That’s right. How can there not be a peaceful day?”
Sword King Oscar and Raphael looked through the gap in the outer wall.
From there, a blacksmith with a massive body.
A man with the title of Grand Duke walked out.
He was over 2 meters tall and his entire body was red.
He had a pair of horns and his right hand was like something used in a blacksmith shop. He holds a hammer and a claw in his left hand.
The weapon is crude, but the magic flowing from him is on a different level from the vampires he has faced so far.
“What about you?”
Archduke Ivaldi glared at Sword King Oscar and Raphael.
“Oskal Baldr.”
“Raphael Astoria.”
Archduke Ivaldi looked surprised at the two’s words.
It also made me smile for a moment.
“I wonder what kind of work will come out if we use their blood.”
On the outer wall, Crown Prince White and First Prince Luan frowned.
Two peacock-level monsters are standing right in front of you.
These are the people who almost collapsed the outer wall.
“Can you deal with Luan?”
Luan stuck out her tongue at White’s words.
“I am not a monster like my brother. It would be possible if you trained for 10 years. “It’s impossible now.”
“haha! I guess so. “Then, please take command of the military.”
Luan looked at White.
“Can you win?”
“Of course… it’s impossible. But who am I to run away? “If it’s impossible, I plan to run away.”
“…good luck.”
“You too, Luan.”
Luan stepped back.
White faced the two dukes and drew his sword.
15,000 troops deployed to Lorensis.
Blood army 50,000.
The battlefield between the two forces has begun.
**
The basement of the imperial palace.
Duke Kirum was wearing a human mask.
In front of him was the body of the Golden Cross guard, and the remaining survivor was leaning against the wall with his eyes open.
“I will ask again. Where are you?”
“…Ah ah ah.”
A member of the Golden Cross trembles. He
opens his mouth and is about to say something.
“There is the glory of His Majesty the Holy Emperor.”
Kirum stuck out his tongue and tried to bite it, but Kirum blocked
it with his fingers. Kirum frowned. He
was trying to commit suicide!
He couldn’t delay any longer.
Kirum shed his human mask.
Long arms and long legs.
Although he had a scrawny body. He took on the appearance of a tall, grotesque clown, and,
like a devil’s whisper, whispered into the ear of the Golden Cross,
“Where are you?”
It’s a word.
It is Kirum’s power to deceive and brainwash humans.
Nevertheless, the Golden Cross did not open its mouth easily.
‘You damn bastards!’
What is the level of their faith and loyalty?
Keyrum shouted again with a tired expression.
“Blow. “Where are you?”
At that moment, the ears of the Golden Cross burst out.
Blood was flowing from the eyes, nose and mouth.
“…Underground…. The location on the 44th floor is….”
The yellow-level crosshairs open their mouths.
And then he spat out the last words.
“There…the 2nd prince…Rupel is there.”
With those words, Kirum untied the golden cross.
I smiled as I looked at the limp body.
Second Prince Rupel had to prepare to welcome him.
