Holy Emperor’s Grandson is a Necromancer - Chapter 160
Episode 160 〈The Other King〉
The second day of the vampire invasion.
No, now three days have passed.
Count Hans Gerrami was hiding in a corner of the imperial palace.
Outside, discord on the battlefield still rages.
Even though it was far away, screams could be heard one after another from the outer wall.
‘How long on earth do I have to hide?’
Hans calculated all kinds of things in his head.
By now, Aslan should have been informed about the bloody army.
Although it may vary depending on the weather.
They would have reported this as quickly as possible using communication crystal balls and birds.
‘Let’s see, His Majesty the Holy King said he would come running right away after receiving the report, and considering the speed of the wyvern he saw, considering the weather and the calculation that he would fly non-stop… tomorrow? Or tomorrow night?’
Hans muttered under his desk.
The vampires invaded after four days of digging a tunnel and waiting in the mountains.
7 days if you endure it all.
After completing the preparation process, they had no hesitation.
There are still many victims.
At that time, ‘Thump thump thump-!’ There was a knock on the door.
The sound was so loud that Hans flinched.
“Count Hans! “Are you there?”
‘Lord Harman!’
Lived!
Hans quickly stood up.
Open the door wide.
Harman was breathing heavily, perhaps because he had rushed through the imperial palace.
Behind him, the Holy Knights stood tall and an old priest was with them.
“Lord Harman! What happened? “Can the vampires be stopped?”
“I need you to come with me before then.”
“Yes?”
Harman grabbed Hans’ arm and dragged him.
The paladins advanced with Hans.
“What’s going on…?”
“…!”
“There are traces of a vampire infiltrating the imperial palace.”
“He also appears to have considerable skills. A member of the Golden Cross was defeated.”
Hans had a perplexed expression.
Why was he telling me that?
When I thought about that, I got the feeling that Harman was going down to the basement with the Holy Knights.
‘Aha, I see. I guess they are evacuating.’
Despite that expectation, Harman continued:
“I heard that Count Hans was in charge of redesigning the dungeon.”
Hans tilted his head.
If it was said that
he designed the place…
Hans thought of Seonghwang.
-I heard that his grandson trusts you next to Heraiz. He also said that you are the best in the continent when it comes to alchemy.
At that time, Hans laughed out loud. Of
course, you were the best on the continent. Of course, he thought so, but when he heard it directly from Seonghwang, It was a strange feeling.
– So, there is something I need you to do. It is a very simple task.
At that time, Hans entered the underground labyrinth for the first time, which only a few people except the Holy Emperor and the Holy King can enter.
“We do not know the inner structure. so.”
“I’m sure you’re not asking me to act as a guide, are you, Sir Harman?”
Harman glanced at Hans and nodded,
“How strong is the invading vampire?”
“…Marquis level or higher.”
Hans stopped walking,
“My God, do you have the strength to deal with such a vampire?”
At Hans’ shout, the old priest walked forward and bowed his head.
“My name is Cardinal Urrael.”
Hans was startled by the considerable class and quickly lowered his head.
Still, Hans opened his mouth as a thought occurred to him.
“Um… do you have any experience hunting vampires?”
Cardinal Urrael took a pause and then spoke carefully.
“I once hunted a Baron-level one.”
ruined.
If things continue like this, I won’t be able to live up to my name.
Hans pressed his temples.
He also regained his senses for a moment and tilted his head.
“If it’s that basement, there’s no need to go there.”
Harman and Cardinal Urrael looked at Hans quizzically.
“Of course, before I designed it, there was a labyrinth-like maze and several traps installed.”
Hans said, recalling some traps.
“There will be no vampire who can go in there and come out safely. We have created a guardian.”
**
‘Where the fuck is it!’
Kirum ran through the underground labyrinth using the physical abilities of a vampire.
There were walls on all sides.
There were small holes, and although it was faint, he could feel the energy of holy power and runes. The more
Kirum ran through the labyrinth, the more he felt a chill down his spine. ‘The trap does not trigger.
‘
It feels as if they
are inviting you to go deeper. They are crazy and prosperous.
If vampires sneak in, rather than trying to stop them or drive them out, they draw them in even further.
Also, it is their preference to torture vampires in cruel ways, regardless of means. ‘
It’s okay. I was given the power of the Vampire King.’
Now that he has reached the duke level, he has even more vitality.
Even if he dies, an extra life will protect him.
At that time, Kirum smelled the familiar scent of blood.
It was the lingering scent of his compatriots.
He had reached his goal.
With that in mind, he walked forward . It was time to move and turn the corner.
“What is that?”
Kirum had an illusion that took his breath away.
Right in front of him was a ‘liquid monster’ about 5 meters tall.
It had a human shape.
It had thick arms and legs, and its body trembled like slime.
The outside was full of bones and skin. .
‘Oh my god, is this…?’
Marquis Kirum’s face turned pale.
The fishy smell of iron irritated the tip of his nose, and the magical power felt from the golem.
‘Bloody golem.’
A guardian designed by Count Timon in the north.
Kirum got goosebumps all over his body.
He denied reality.
Why is there something like this in the underground labyrinth of the Seonghwangga?
This is a guardian that uses magical power.
It is also a monster that requires a high level of technology.
The Bloody Golem that Count Timon studied.
It is a monster that Timon could not create as he had nothing to maintain the golem’s body.
Kirum’s eyes looked at the red stone block inside the golem’s body.
The heart of Mist Calf.
Mana fluctuates there.
Mana and magic power are mixed to create its mobility.
They used that heart to create this monster with the blood and flesh of vampire lycans and others.
“They’re crazy.”
What kind of terrible fanatics are these?
They only put on a flashy appearance of worshiping God, but they created something terrible like this.
They said,
“You devils!”
It was a demon.
The Bloody Golem opened its mouth.
The broken ribs opened like teeth.
-Queeeeeeeeee!
The Bloody Golem rushed towards Kirum.
Blood filled with magical power gushes out.
It stretches like a whip and hits Kirum. Kirum quickly raised his long claws to block it.
The sound of bones crunching was heard from his arm.
The skeleton inside the Bloody Golem’s whip of blood shot out.
The lycan’s teeth pierced Kirum’s arm.
Kirum cut off his arm .
I looked at the
hole and blood was flowing out, and the Bloody Golem had absorbed its own blood.
‘Damn it!’
Kirum was a vampire skilled in infiltration and interrogation.
He had specialized skills in escaping and humiliating someone, but he was not a combat type.
‘It takes too much time to destroy a golem.’
Above all, the paladins must have noticed by now.
If they run here, things will go wrong.
Kirum withdrew his hand and stepped back. He
quickly turned his back and ran away.
The Bloody Golem followed behind him.
Bloody Golem’s body collapses.
Then, forming a lion, both legs step on the ground and run.
It opens its mouth.
Dozens of broken ribs rotate.
The intention is to devour the prey.
Kirum let out a roar.
They were a terrible race. .
**
The soldiers of the Seonghwangbeopguk were exhausted.
They still watched the army of blood surging in.
Even if they killed them, the number of them increased.
The progenitors were repeatedly summoning the undead.
“Aren’t these crazy people even tired?”
The soldiers screamed and pierced their spears, knocking a zombie off the outer wall.
Then they turned their gaze.
The Goddess Statue and the Guardian of Hell were fighting with injuries all over their bodies.
The Holy Emperor and the Vampire King fought without stopping for three days.
The strength was strong . Since they were equal, there was no sign of it ending.
-Kaaaaaa!
While the soldier was looking away, a monster with spread wings came down from the sky.
A statue of a devil whose entire body was covered in a shell as hard as stone.
The gargoyle attacked the soldier, biting it and clawing at it. Scribble:
“The outer door has been breached!”
At someone’s shout, the soldiers on the outer wall headed toward the outer door.
The outer door was breached.
A huge battering ram made of bone and steel broke through the outer door and left.
Tens of thousands of undead stood in front of the outer door.
In front of them, they were wearing white armor and holding both hands. Paladins and soldiers holding swords and spears are standing.
Long spears over 3 meters long are aimed.
The paladins breathe holy power into their swords and watch the undead army from inside their helmets.
“Attack, you damned evil spirits.”
-Kaaaaaaaa!
The undead are advancing.
The soldiers rushed in with their spears raised, and the paladins quickly ran in between them. The spears
pierced the undead, lifted them up, and struck them down.
The paladins swung their swords and cut off the undead’s necks.
“Just a little more strength .” “Pay it.”
The progenitors summoned a large number of undead through the open mountain range.
They also summoned only undead for the third day. They
had planned to tire out the paladins and break through.
‘Monsters.’
The holy knights of the Seonghwang family held on until the third day.
They continued to fight and kill the undead.
‘But it’s only now.’
The outer gate has been breached.
There are non-combatant livestock living inside the city.
They will be a good source of undead for the vampires.
As I was thinking that, one of the progenitors turned his head.
There was someone sitting on a rock behind the progenitors, clasping their hands together.
A vampire wearing a goat skull on his head.
“Why are you so dazed!”
The progenitor approached him.
He was truly carefree.
Resting on a rock with a golden bracelet on his wrist?
Other compatriots were working hard to summon the undead, even coughing up blood.
The man was just holding a staff on his shoulder and opening a magic book. .
The man wearing the skull of a mountain goat looked at Sijo.
“Ah, you mean me? I’ve just arrived and I’m out of my mind. So take a break for a while.”
The other person was panting and wiping away sweat.
“All of our compatriots are working hard now. The more you are lazy, the more difficult it is for others. Summon the undead.”
“You mean to summon the undead…?”
“okay.”
“I’m a little tired. “I think I can sweep it off with a lot of energy if I rest just a little bit, so why not just rest for 2 or 3 minutes?”
Is this guy sane?
Sijo clicked his tongue.
Except for a few creatures, most of them have lived for hundreds of years.
It wasn’t strange that there was a weirdo among them.
“Okay, help your colleague. “There is no time to rest.”
Sijo felt a strange feeling as he spoke.
I felt strangely repulsed by the presence of a mountain goat wearing a robe.
Above all, there is something that catches Sijo’s attention.
The man wearing the goat bone wears a golden bracelet on his wrist.
Strangely, the energy of holy power was there….
“…What are you?”
As Sijo’s expression gradually hardened, the man’s body began to tremble.
It’s like smiling.
“I am a legionnaire.”
The progenitors, who were tired of summoning the undead, looked back in surprise.
“He is the successor of Gaia.”
The vampires’ eyes widened.
It’s a wave.
The waves of holy water hit the founders on the hill.
“what!”
Those who are soaked in holy water have their whole bodies on fire.
The closest ancestor.
The count-level progenitor barely withstood the holy water.
“haha!”
Hearing the cheerful laughter, Sijo looked at the man in front of him with shaking eyes.
The man spreads both hands.
It spits out language that cannot be determined whether it is a spell or a prayer.
It is a summoning ritual of something.
Something huge will attack.
That has to be stopped.
‘Block it?’
No, you can’t stop it.
The opponent is…
“It’s the Holy King!”
said one of the vampires.
In response, the vampires let out a terrible scream.
King Seong? The Holy King?
How did the Holy King come here…?
Wasn’t that what was in Aslan?
“The vampire king is here.”
Holy King Allen’s eyes flashed inside his skull.
As he chanted the spell, the vampires viciously attacked him.
“Then we’ll have to do our best to wipe them out.”
Holy undead came out around Allen and blocked the vampires.
The summoning ritual continues.
As the holy power spread, those fighting on the outer wall responded.
“This energy…”
Kelt turned his head and looked at the mountain range.
The Vampire King also turned his head and widened his eyes.
In the mountains, Holy King Allen is performing a summoning ritual.
“It’s dangerous.”
He arrived earlier than Keyrum had expected.
He is on par with the Holy King. However, if he faces the Holy King, he has no chance of winning.
‘What about the key room?’
There is no news yet.
Can not help it.
The Vampire King looked at Cerberus.
“Make a way.”
Cerberus rammed the goddess statue with his body.
The goddess statue falls backwards.
The sentinel of hell exhaled harshly and dug a tunnel using his legs and three heads.
The ground melts as it spews hellish flames from its mouth.
Gargoyles flying in the sky plummet to the ground and dig up the ground.
Even the hazy fog hindered visibility.
Kelt looked at this and grabbed the warhammer.
Digging a tunnel is fast. You can’t miss this guy.
“Where are you trying to go!”
Celt rushed at the Vampire King.
Lightning struck the warhammer and its power was directed to the Vampire King.
The Vampire King pulled out his spear.
The blood scattered on the battlefield collected and made the spear blade even stronger.
The two delivered the final blow.
**
The vampires at the foot of the mountain range opened their mouths.
I couldn’t even think of approaching the Holy King anymore.
The hundreds of divine undead blocking the way were too strong.
Above all, the summoning ritual was over.
King Seong raises his head.
He was full of arrogance and showed a creepy smile inside the goat’s skull.
“archangel.”
And then he opened his mouth.
“Metatron.”
A loud noise that seemed to tear the eardrums rang out.
The noise of the gear wheels rotating intensely echoed in all directions.
The vampires covered their ears.
In pain, they look up at the sky.
Space and time were distorted.
A heavy iron hand stretched out and tore through the air.
By forcibly twisting the space, it showed off its mighty power.
The vampire opened his mouth in fear.
“That is…”
A head covered in metal emerges from the distorted space.
“It’s a disaster.”
A magnificent body reaching up to 20m.
Cogwheels spinning in all directions.
It has no lower body, only its upper body floating in the air, and its size is over 30 meters.
As the twelve wings made of holy power spread, white feathers spread out in all directions.
Archangel Metatron that being took part in the battlefield.
