Holy Emperor’s Grandson is a Necromancer - Chapter 169
Episode 169 〈 Farmer 〉
A tall demon with a thick, long nose and thin, wide-spread ears.
It’s a farmer.
However, insect claws protrude from its back.
It looked quite different from the Palmer that King Seong had told us about.
The eyes of the Red Cross soldier whose body was pierced shook.
‘Has it changed?’
Palmer This vampire was changing his body and becoming stronger.
Since it is not subordinate to the Vampire King, it must have developed its strength by drinking human blood.
He’s a count. No, it’s more than that.
‘How many humans did they eat…!’
“The opponent ready for battle is a count-level progenitor vampire!”
The ground cracked and Palmer rose.
The Red Cross took out a dagger from his pocket and struck down the leg of the bug that had pierced him.
Kwasik-!
The hard shell breaks and blood splatters.
Farmer screamed and threw the Red Cross.
The Red Cross member kept his balance by hitting his palms on the floor while rolling on the ground.
Palmer grinned at the Red Cross.
“Are you priests? Not only did you dare to invade my territory, but you also tried to intercept my servants…”
Farmer’s eyes widened.
The Red Cross that had been pierced by the insect’s legs straightened up.
A golden rune was activated and flesh filled the gaping hole. ‘
…isn’t it human?’
Although it is slow compared to a vampire, the recovery speed is incredible for a human.
Farmer glared at the Red Cross in disbelief.
“What are you guys?”
“Caw!”
“It’s a vampire!”
“The devil has appeared!”
The villagers scream.
About 50 private soldiers accompanying the Red Cross retreat and quickly evacuate the villagers.
The Red Cross looks away.
Alina, holding the baby, has disappeared among the people.
“Are you a human? “With the recovery speed, I’m not human. But I’m not undead either. What I feel is holy power. On earth…”
Farmer let out a nervous voice.
The Red Cross grabbed various weapons.
They held scythes, shovels, saws, daggers, and crossbows.
“It is just below the count or marquis level. Don’t let down your guard. Our job is to evacuate the people safely and hold out until His Majesty the Holy King comes.”
“…Are you ignoring me?”
Palmer took a step closer.
His back wriggled and the long insect legs sprouted again.
The Red Cross, seeing the four legs, lowered its waist and took an attacking stance.
Palmer placed both hands on the ground.
The four insect legs wriggled and bounced off the body.
It flew fiercely towards the Red Cross, cutting through the wind.
‘fast!’
‘But we have God’s text…!’
The Red Cross opened its eyes.
Aztalune amplifies their sexual power.
Using all his senses, he noticed the approaching Palmer.
“Pray!”
“Under the name of the saint-.”
“We will subdue the devil!”
The crossbow infused with holy power was aimed and shot.
The bolt hits Palmer in the shoulder.
Palmer stopped and looked at his shoulder in surprise.
The bolt spun and pierced the body.
‘uh?’
I sprint, forcibly preventing my body from twisting.
The bodies of the four remaining Red Cross members were covered in white light.
He kicked the ground and ran towards Farmer.
Swinging a sickle and a shovel saw, he cut off the insect’s three legs.
“what.”
A Red Cross soldier carrying a dagger dipped in holy water jumped on Palmer’s back, cut off his remaining leg, and plunged the dagger into his back.
“What?”
Farmer screamed as he felt holy water being poured into his back and threw the Red Cross away.
“What are you guys!”
The Red Cross widened the distance.
They took off their gloves with surprised eyes.
I looked at the Aztalun that was engraved on my body and extended to my hands.
‘…this.’
‘It is the power given by the Holy Son.’
Palmer glared at the Red Cross.
“I won’t look at you. I will suck and drink all your blood!”
The insect legs on his back fell off.
Six pairs of even bigger and thicker legs appeared behind his back.
Farmer’s entire body swelled.
The Red Cross stood back in surprise.
Farmer shed his human form and turned into an insect.
6 A pair of legs trampled the ground and raised the body up.
The long legs supported the plump body.
The Farmer’s upper body looked like a small demon with a large and bulging belly. A large spider head, mouth and dozens of eyes were visible on the lower belly.
The upper body was Farmer, and the lower body became a spider monster.
-Koooooooooo!
Farmer screamed.
Ghouls crawled out of the cracked ground as if responding to Farmer’s cries.
It was as if spider eggs buried in the ground were hatching and popping out. .The
Red Cross grabbed their weapons.
“Can we deal with them?”
“It must be difficult.”
“But you can’t back down either.”
Farmer grinned and glared at the Red Cross.
-Come on, you foolish priests!
**
Lawrence took a deep breath.
He shrank back and hid himself in a crevice in the rock.
How many days had passed?
After eating the rats in the cave, he watched the dew dripping from the ceiling. Even though he ate it, it was a miracle that he survived until now.
This may also have been God’s grace.
Lawrence believed that and leaned back against the rock to catch his breath.
‘This is the limit. We have to go to the ground.’
Lawrence looked up at the ceiling from a crevice in the rock.
He saw hundreds of ghouls crawling on the floor and climbing to the ground.
The ceiling was open.
It was opened by Palmer or something.
If we go there…?
‘It’s on the ground!’
But the ghouls are going up first.
Will they be able to survive if they go up?
At that time, a scream was heard.
Other survivors in the basement.
They were discovered and hunted by the ghouls. Their
stomachs were split open and their internal organs were being eaten.
‘As expected, it is impossible.’
Lawrence turned pale.
He turned his gaze towards the tunnel leading to the ground and prayed.
‘Gaia, please save us…!’
**
“Hold the formation!”
The ghouls surrounded the Red Cross and spun in a circle.
The Red Cross had their comrades’ backs.
They took a deep breath inside their bird-beak masks.
One of the ghouls attacked the Red Cross.
Scythe. It pierces the head and slams it down on the floor.
As soon as there is a gap in the large movement, the next ghoul rushes in.
The Red Cross in the center pulls the crossbow and pierces the ghoul.
Another ghoul hits it with three swords and deflects it.
” Help me!”
The Red Cross turned its attention.
The ghouls are hunting the villagers.
The private soldiers are trying their best, but it will be impossible for them to stop them.
While they were distracted for a moment, the ghouls rushed at the Red Cross.
– Struggling in pain.
The ghouls A fingernail grazed the shoulder of a Red Cross member.
-Die and become a zombie and serve me.
The Red Cross member’s wrist was bitten off and cut off.
-Beg for life. Crawl and beg for help to ease the pain.
The Red Cross member was gradually becoming exhausted and cornered.
-Then I will give you a chance. A chance to become my servant!
Farmer waited for the Red Cross to scream and beg for their lives.
There is no sound as sweet as the desperate screams of livestock.
Their screams were directly related to his pleasure.
But they did not scream,
“This must be a trial given by Gaia.”
“Suffering is our faith.”
Farmer’s eye muscles twitched. They
were out of their minds.
Even though they must have been suffering as the ghoul’s poison spread throughout their bodies, they were turning their pain and fear into faith.
-You’re crazy. Are you doing this even when death is approaching?
The Red Cross man in the bird-beak mask gritted his teeth.
Their leg was impaled and their arm was torn off. They
are recovering in Aztalun, but it is slow.
If things continue like this, they will become prey for these monsters.
Then they can see into the forest on the other side.
A soft white light is gathering.
The Red Cross is there. After watching the scene in fascination, the corner of his mouth curled up.
“Death?”
One of the Red Cross men, bleeding, glared at Palmer,
“I guess that’s what got to you.”
-What?
At that moment, part of Farmer’s head exploded.
Only then did Farmer react to the belated
gunshot. Farmer screamed and trembled with his hands in pain, unable to even touch his head.
Boom.
Bone and metal hit the grass-covered ground. The covered armor trampled.
A miserable situation.
Maintaining the formation, the muskets were aimed all at once.
Farmer was startled and turned around and looked into the forest.
-What? What!
The Red Cross fell to the ground in exhaustion and muttered.
“In front of the great Holy King. ”
In the forest, an army of undead bathed in light is lined up with muskets pointed:
“Face death, vampire!”
Farmer’s eyes shook, and the Red Cross muttered with difficulty and closed his eyes.
The muskets began firing a volley of fire.
A gunshot rang out.
A Christmas bullet spun and spewed out from the elongated muzzle.
The hazy smoke and intense flash of light pierced the ghouls. It pierced through and flew right at Farmer.
Dozens of ghouls disappeared.
At the same time, Farmer’s legs were broken and his body fell to the ground.
Dozens of eyes on Farmer’s body shook.
– These couldn’t be…!
“Struggling in pain. Hit it.”
A man walks out of the forest,
holding a musket and blowing his breath:
“Die, perish, turn to ashes.”
He raised his musket high in the sky,
then lowered it and aimed it at Farmer, saying,
“Beg for your life. Crawl and pray for less pain.”
Allen grunted and repeated Palmer’s words,
“Then I’ll give you a chance. A chance to disappear without pain.”
-On a human subject…!
I pulled the trigger.
Palmer’s head exploded.
His head disappeared, and both hands were struggling around the headless head. It struggles and runs wild like an insect with its body turned upside down.
“…Everyone evacuate now!”
Saeran ran out of the forest.
When some of the ghouls rushed towards her and swung their claws, Saeran ducked to avoid them.
She took out a rapier.
The long, thin, needle-like tip of the sword pierced straight through the ghoul’s head.
Putrid blood splatters on her face.
He pulled out his rapier and pushed the ghoul away with his foot.
“hurry-!”
At her cry, a private soldier took the people and quickly ran to where Saeran was.
Among the people, a woman is running, panting, holding a baby in her arms.
The cloth she was wrapped in loosened, revealing the baby.
A small baby with tanned skin and a skinny body.
Allen could see the woman and baby passing right by him.
I saw the baby clearly through my [mind’s eye].
“…”
“Allen Allen?”
From behind, Saeran grabbed her shoulder and shook her.
Allen looked at Saeran.
“The people evacuated. But… why is that?”
When she looked worried, Allen smiled brightly and said,
“No, it’s nothing.”
Allen breathed into his musket and glared at Palmer, who was struggling in front of him.
-Kyaaaaaa!
Skeletons attacked the ghouls nearby.
He kicks the ghoul, aims the musket and shoots it.
He stabbed the dagger at the end of the musket and pushed forward.
Holy water was summoned and spread where Allen passed.
Holy water seeped through the hole Farmer had drilled, and the ghouls that had crawled out of the tunnel melted.
Saeran quickly approached the tunnel dug by Farmer.
Survivors were seen rushing to the spot in the wide tunnel.
“Hurry and rescue!”
Saeran ordered the soldiers to untie the rope into the tunnel.
Reach out your hands and lift up those who are struggling.
“Did you enjoy tormenting my subordinate?”
Allen stomped on Palmer’s spider head.
The large spider head in Palmer’s lower abdomen opens and speaks.
-Yeah, I heard it through rumors. The Holy King who drove away the Vampire King.
Palmer trembled.
Dozens of eyeballs stared at Allen.
-Save me. I will do anything for you, so please….
“I am not foolish enough to trust a bug that eats humans.”
Allen said, pointing his musket at Palmer.
“We are hunters. And you.”
I pulled the trigger.
The body is pierced and flies away.
“They are just animals to be hunted.”
With a loud scream, Palmer’s body was covered in blue flames.
It burned and turned into ashes and disappeared.
Allen put his musket on his shoulder and approached the five fallen Red Cross soldiers.
I spoke to those who were lying down in the waterway of Seongsu.
“are you okay?”
One of the Red Cross members took the form of praying with his hands trembling.
“…May Gaia’s grace and your Son’s glory be yours.”
Allen smiled bitterly.
“It seems okay. Good work. “Get some rest.”
With those words, the hands of the Red Cross fell to the floor.
Skeletons carried away those who had fainted.
Saeran looked at the burning Farmer.
And he looked at them in turns as they came out of the underground cave, biting his nails nervously.
‘doesn’t exist.’
Saeran’s eyes wavered as he checked each of the survivors.
They have no holy power.
I thought there was someone with the status of a saint like Allen or someone with hidden talent.
I thought there was at least someone growing up, but I didn’t see anyone like that.
They were all ordinary people.
“doesn’t exist. why? Why… there is clearly a hint to stop the apocalypse… that the prognosis was wrong?”
Or is it just that you don’t recognize it?
Allen grabbed Saeran’s collar and stopped him from rushing down into the tunnel.
“Allen?”
“Is there any need for the duke’s daughter to be covered in dust? Well, it doesn’t matter because it’s part of the royal family’s history to be covered in blood.”
Allen wiped the blood from Saeran’s face with a handkerchief.
Then, when he nodded, the skeletons went down underground and rescued the people.
“But there is a hint to stop the apocalypse in here…”
At Saeran’s words, Allen was rescued. I looked at them with my mind’s eye.
Among them, I saw a man running towards the villagers in the forest.
“Are you aware? Oh my god, are you okay? Thank you, Goddess Gaia!”
Allen looked at his wife who was facing the man.
[Name: Lawrence.
Age: 45 years old.
Characteristics: Benevolence, understanding, strong will, good conversational skills, and deep faith.
+ Alina just wait a moment. I will protect you and your child! ]
Allen is a man named Lawrence and a woman who approached him.
And then she looked at the baby in her arms.
“Is Lawrence okay? What a relief. Really look at it. “The baby is safe. He’s smiling.”
Allen watched this and opened his mouth.
“I found it.”
Saeran looked at Allen in surprise.
Allen smiled and said.
“The hint your sister said.”
