Holy Emperor’s Grandson is a Necromancer - Chapter 162
Episode 162 〈 Another Beginning 〉
A child who looks like a monster hangs on the wall.
It was chained and the floor was filled with channels of holy water on all sides.
Holy water continued to flow like a fountain over the child’s head.
Kirum could feel 2nd Prince Rupel faintly breathing.
‘live.’
In fact, I was skeptical.
I heard that without Timong, his body would melt and he wouldn’t last a year.
It would have already collapsed, but Ruppel was still alive despite being tortured.
No, now it is drying out and dying.
That is the purification ritual performed by the priests.
They may have committed such terrible things in the name of purifying their tainted souls.
For vampires, death meant extinction itself.
As soon as one dies, the soul is trapped in purgatory and the god of death there destroys the soul.
Actions like this are meaningless and only cause pain.
‘I never thought he would really torture his own grandson.’
Celt, you devil.
While thinking about this, Kirum looked at the letters written right above Rupel.
“You are already dead.”
Kirum’s face hardened at the extremely ominous phrase.
“What does it mean-.”
Keyrum’s eyes widened.
He lowered his head and looked at the iron door he had broken.
Runes are engraved on the cut seams.
The trap is that it runs when disconnected.
“oh my god.”
Kirum raised his head.
In an instant, the ceiling falls.
fast.
It feels like everything in this room will be crushed in an instant.
That would include Rupel as well.
Celt This senile old man had the intention of torturing his grandson and then crushing him to death before he was taken away from him.
“Whoop-!”
Keyrum stretched out his fingernails like a whip.
They cut off Rupel’s hands and arms and pierced his body.
Rupel’s body is caught by Kirum’s fingers and pulled.
As Kirum hurried out of the room, holding Rupel in his arms, the noise of the wall crashing down was heard behind him.
A silver spear blade is stuck in the ground.
If I had been even a little late, I would have been thrown on the floor with holy water and arrested.
“Is there a problem?”
It was time for the vampires to turn their heads and look at Kirum.
Kwasik-!
A silver arrow came out from a hole in the wall and pierced the vampire’s head.
Keyrum looked straight ahead.
Silver arrows shot out from hundreds or thousands of holes in the wall.
‘Where are you kidding me…!’
Keyrum rushed out.
I deflected the arrow with my fingernail.
When you turn your gaze towards the only exit, a wall falls down at the only entrance in front of you.
“shit-!”
Keyrum ran quickly, but it was already too late.
The wall was completely destroyed, blocking the entrance.
As Kirum caressed the wall, holy water flowed like a waterfall from a hole in the ceiling.
“Ugh… Ugh!”
Vampires that touch holy water burn.
Keyrum looked at the bottom.
Holy water rises under my feet.
The speed is fast. It will reach your head in about 20 minutes.
“You demons-!”
These guys are thinking of melting themselves to death.
Keyrum hit the blocking wall with his fingernails.
There is a crack in the wall.
Okay, there’s a chance!
Kirum was hopeful.
I tried my best to make a hole in the wall with my fingernail.
Break it. Pieces of stone fall. Keep breaking it.
Keyroom became increasingly urgent.
From behind, you can hear the terrible screams of your compatriots, and even those sounds are gradually disappearing.
And at some point, there was silence behind me.
Everyone is dead.
Keyrum continued to swing his claws without even looking back.
Struggling to survive somehow.
My fingernails split the wall.
As the wall collapsed, Keyrum’s fingernails broke.
Keyrum looked at the wall with vague eyes.
Runes carved into Elterra metal.
A soft-colored temporary barrier that even blocked Archangel Metatron.
“Ah…”
Holy water touches his feet.
After a moment, Kirum stumbles and lowers his gaze.
While he is in a daze, his body is melting up to his knees.
Blood stains spread across the holy water.
Kirum is in his arms. An looked at Rupel.
The baby monster was barely breathing.
“Ruppel Rupel!”
Kirum grabbed Rupel’s neck and slammed him against the wall.
Rupel’s eyes turned to the ceiling.
His mouth opened and drool flowed.
He was out of his mind.
‘What a stupid little boy.’
It doesn’t help until the end:
“Listen carefully from now on. I can’t survive here.”
“But you can live.”
Kirum draws a finger on the wall.
Carving runes.
Warp magic.
‘The warp is not perfect.’
Now that Count Timon has disappeared, there are not many people who can use warp.
Even if they do use it, they need powerful magic power and the corresponding skills.
Kirum can also do nothing but drop the small-sized Rupel into the nearby forest.
Kirum says a word in his ear. He breathed in.
Using the power of a peacock, he hinted to him:
“Survive and go to the vampire king.”
Kirum’s body swayed as he spoke.
Holy water rose to the stomach.
Kirum unleashed all his magical power.
I blew it into the warp line and stamped the rubel there and pressed it.
“To get revenge for everyone… the Vampire King.”
The warp power was activated.
Rupel’s body was split into pieces, molecule by molecule.
“For-.”
Kirum’s eyes widened as he spoke.
The energy felt by Rupel.
A faint feeling of rejection.
this is…?
“…no way.”
Kirum looked at Rupel with angry eyes.
‘What on earth have these Seonghwang family members done…!’
Before Kirum could say anything, Rupel disappeared by the warp.
Kirum was shocked and trembled all over.
Goosebumps appeared.
He felt something from Rupel that he could never feel from a vampire.
And, thinking it was a simple illusion, he touched his forehead. C.
‘It can never be like that.’
Yes, I guess that’s how I felt after being eroded by holy water.
“Damn.”
Kirum swung his claws and destroyed the warp formation
to avoid the pursuit of the Holy Emperor family.
‘What are the chances that Rupel will survive?’
At that time, holy water rose up to his neck.
Kirum trembled and leaned against the broken wall.
“Vampire King!”
Kirum screamed countless times.
Holy water rose up to his neck.
Eventually, it covered his entire face.
He couldn’t breathe. He struggled
in pain and every time he screamed, holy water entered his mouth.
‘Ah…’
His whole body Burning with blue flames.
A sign of the extinction of vampires. However, Kirum did not die.
When he thought he was dead, he was revived and eroded in holy water.
He was locked in a prison where death was repeated endlessly.
**
“Long live Your Majesty the Holy King!”
A cheer was heard from the people.
These people had been through a hell of a week.
The Holy King, who put an end to the battlefield in that hell, was truly a hero and an object of worship.
Well, they were used to this kind of situation. Even if
the Holy Knights tried to stop them in front, the people could somehow do it. He is stretching out his hand to be noticed.
I waved at the people and smiled wryly.
‘The damage is not that bad.’
The people cheered, but there were also people shedding tears.
They must have lost their families.
They will be compensated for this incident, but it will take a long time for the deep wounds to heal.
“But this is the beginning of peaceful days. “It might have been.”
Among the vampires of all time, no one has prepared to create a country like this.
As a result of this failure, they have lost the ability to rebuild the kingdom of blood. They
will no longer be able to establish it carelessly.
“Oh! Your Majesty the Holy King has been waiting!”
When we arrived at the imperial palace, Hans approached the entrance of the imperial palace.
Raising both hands, he barely pushed the approaching person away.
“Your Majesty?”
Harman lowered his head.
“We are chasing them. Prince Oscar and Raphael are also accompanying us.”
“Even after defeating the Vampire King, do you still have the energy to keep up?”
How energetic is Celtic Allfault? Is he really a dying man?
I shook my head.
At that time, Hans whispered in my ear,
“A vampire of marquis level or higher has invaded the imperial palace.”
I glanced at Hans.
“What about him?”
“I went to the labyrinth. And there are signs that a trap has been triggered.”
“He must be dead.”
That too would have been crushed or melted to death.
The trap created by the Celts is a method of torturing the opponent to death.
He was truly a cruel and cruel grandfather.
‘That may be why he is in a position of prosperity.’
“Let’s go.”
Following Hans’ guidance, Allen headed to the underground labyrinth.
At the entrance, a bloody golem stands tall. It’s
quite bizarre, with sharp bones and teeth sticking out all over its body, and it’s covered in vampire blood and lycan skin. “
…is this your work?”
“Because His Majesty the Holy Emperor ordered it.”
Hans lowered his head.
I gave him information about the Bloody Golem, but he was making something bizarre.
I passed by the Bloody Golem.
‘Can I put that in the item window?’
First of all, I think it won’t work since it’s not a living thing.
Or just inserting the heart will suffice.
We arrived at the labyrinth prison.
Harman, a paladin, and Cardinal Urael also accompanied us from behind.
While everyone was tense, Hans hit the wall as if disarming the device. The engraved runes were unlocked.
The blocking wall rose up. A
wave of holy water flows out from the floor. A
being seen between the gaping entrance.
A tall vampire barely standing with its entire body melted to a pulp.
Using the mind’s eye, the being was found. I called his name.
“Kirum?”
“Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”
Kirum raised his claws.
He frowned and dodged the claws of the guy who was charging at him.
He stretched out his hand and grabbed Kirum’s head and slammed it down on the floor.
“Suppress-!”
When Harman shouted, the Holy Knights raised their spears and stabbed his arms and legs.
“You, Holy King, you-!”
“Are you alive?”
Allen looked down at Kirum while holding his head in surprise.
It has incredible vitality to be alive in the holy water.
How many lives does this one also have?
“What are you going to do?”
Harmon’s question.
“Your Majesty, this.”
And the finger Hans pointed at showed a damaged warp line on the wall.
“It will take a week to restore it and track down the coordinates.”
I sighed.
“Of course I don’t know what to do.”
Allen narrowed his eyes as he looked down at Keyrum,
“…I need to find out what this guy was trying to do.”
**
It was a dark night.
The news that vampires had invaded the capital spread to the surrounding villages.
Accordingly, the Lawrence couple, who traveled all over the continent and worked as merchants, were leaving for their hometown.
“What hardships have we suffered after coming such a long way? Gaia, please let us know.” Please protect me.”
The carriage passed through the forest, walking along the rough side of the road.
Lawrence turned his gaze into the forest.
The howls of wolves were heard from the forest.
“Honey, are you okay? I heard that vampires have invaded the capital.”
Lawrence looked at his wife and said,
“It’ll be okay. It’s going well. The higher-ups will take care of it. Ordinary country people like us just need to run away.”
“What are we going to do when we go back to our hometown? We have nothing more to do…”
“We have the money to buy land. Let’s farm and live in peace.”
Lawrence said that and looked away.
Black shadows were moving in the forest.
Is that… a wolf?
The wolves spotted something and gathered around.
Lawrence narrowed his eyes, relying on the moonlight.
In one place in the clearing, he saw something. I saw him squirming.
It was a small child.
“Oh no!”
Lawrence quickly stopped the carriage.
He held up the torch hanging on the carriage.
“Honey?”
“Wife, the child… the child…!”
At Lawrence’s words, my wife turned her gaze into the forest.
The dark red child flinched.
Wolves were gathered around.
The wolves showed their hunger by baring their teeth.
“These guys-!”
Lawrence waved the torch and chased away the wolves.
His wife quickly came over and wrapped the child in a cloth and hugged him.
“Honey!”
“What the fuck are these!”
Lawrence hit the charging wolf with a torch,
“Oh my god… this kid is hurt a lot!”
Hearing his wife’s words, Lawrence urgently shouted,
“What kind of damn bastard abandoned the child here!”
“Look. The appearance…”
Lawrence looked at the child.
The child’s grotesque appearance.
It was probably abandoned by the parents who were disgusted by the child’s appearance.
‘What a bunch of trash!’
“honey.”
“Step back slowly, madam.”
Lawrence waved the torch.
The wolves were slowly approaching.
A horse with a carriage trampled nearby.
It was frightened when it saw the wolves.
“Hurry up!”
The wife got on and Lawrence threw the torch
and got into the carriage.
“Hey!”
The carriage started.
A wolf chased from behind.
“This kid is hurt a lot!”
In response to the wife’s words, the man said,
“There will be holy water in the back, so you can use it.”
The wife hurriedly searched the inside of the carriage and offered holy water to the child’s mouth.
The child shook his head and
refused the holy water.
“It’s for you to live. You have to live.”
The child gently opened his eyes.
My wife smiled softly.
“Now, good boy, eat.”
The wife gently stroked the child’s head.
The child reached out with shaking eyes.
He grabbed the holy water and drank it as if sucking milk.
“Cluck, cluck, cluck.”
I spat out holy water.
“It looks like you ate too hastily. Take your time. slowly.”
Little by little, my wife gave the child holy water.
“Yeah, that’s nice.”
The wife stroked the child’s head, and Lawrence was relieved that the wolf was no longer chasing him.
“Let’s get out of here quickly. “I’m sick of traveling now.”
Lawrence said, looking at his wife.
“Let’s go back to our hometown in Franz Kingdom, farm, and live in peace, madam.”
My wife nodded.
Still, he hugged the child gently.
Pat pat sang a lullaby.
Ai Rupel’s eyes gently closed as he heard the soft tones of the chant.
Peacefully, as if being held in my mother’s arms.
