Holy Emperor’s Grandson is a Necromancer - Chapter 171
Episode 171 〈Preparation for the future. 〉
Saeran was floating in the air in a state of weightlessness.
She looked around in surprise.
dark. There was an eerily quiet silence.
When she opened her mouth, no sound came out.
Saeran caressed his neck.
I feel dizzy, as if I’m drunk. The body was also very heavy.
This feeling. Yes, this is a feeling she has had for a long time.
This is it.
‘[prognosis]!’
When she realized it, a sound came from right below her.
“You had pitch black skin back then. I went to see a therapist during my trip and he said something was wrong with your body. They said it would be difficult to survive for half a year. Still, we had hope.”
Saeran’s eyes widened.
Below her, in the deep darkness, she could see a glowing lake. What kind of image was reflected there?
It’s a happy family.
I saw a man named Lawrence whom I had seen a few days ago.
“It was that time. After the Palmer incident, I met His Highness the Holy King at an inn. It’s him. “He worked a miracle on your body.”
He was sitting at the table and talking to the boy in front of him.
‘Why? ‘Why are you showing such foresight?’
There is definitely a reason.
That is why it is shown like this.
The teenage boy across from me sighed and shook his head.
“Why are you doing that? “Roy.”
“huh? “No, I’m too hungry!”
Roy laughed awkwardly.
“Of course. You’ve been repeating the same thing for 5 years. As soon as you open your mouth, it says, “His Majesty the Holy King, His Majesty the Holy King.” “How hard can it be for Roy?”
Lawrence’s wife, Alina, said as she put breakfast on the table.
At Alina’s words, Saeran began to speculate.
Has it been five years since the Palmer incident?
Saeran tilted his head.
However, the child named Roy was only about 1 or 2 years old at the time.
That baby grew into a boy in his early teens.
‘Maybe it’s because of Allen’s influence.’
Or maybe there is something else.
A boy named Roy came out of the house.
I walked down the streets of the small town with a happy smile while holding Lawrence’s hand.
Lawrence was in town despite Palmer’s horrific events.
Farmhouses spread out around them, and Lawrence and Roy waved goodbye and asked how the farmers were doing.
Roy and Lawrence both appear to be servants.
He was seen dressed as a servant and walking to Ariana Castle to work in the morning.
The city streets were full of life.
Travelers walked the streets and merchants in the market smiled happily as they sold their goods.
Peace itself.
Lawrence and Roy looked at each other and smiled.
‘Five years later, Franz’s kingdom is also peaceful.’
Saeran looked happy.
Ding-! Ding-! Ding-!
People in the city raised their heads in shock.
It is a warning bell that rings throughout the city.
It was the sound made when a monster attacked or a war broke out.
“what?”
“War…? Or a monster?”
“It has been quiet for the past few years, so it must have rang by mistake.”
“Yeah, don’t kids often climb up the bell tower?”
The people took it lightly.
This was because the children who climbed the bell tower a few days ago were playing around and ringing the bell.
Cold sweat broke out on Lawrence’s face.
Roy said to Lawrence.
“Dad?”
“Huh? Oh, it’s nothing. Isn’t it the Kingdom of Franz? As long as the Holy Empire exists, there will be no war, and if it’s a monster, the soldiers will definitely solve it easily.”
Roy nodded at Lawrence’s words,
“Oh, look over there.”
Lawrence pointed to the street with his finger.
In the center of the market, an old man in his 70s was wearing a deacon’s uniform and waving at Roy and Lawrence.
“I see Deacon Claire. I should quickly say hello.”
“yes.”
Saeran looked surprised.
Deacon Claire was a loyal servant who had worked for the Ariana family for nearly 50 years.
‘He hasn’t changed even after five years.’
Saeran smiled happily.
Roy bowed his head towards the butler.
“Hello…”
That was then.
Kwasik-!
“…Are you there?”
In Roy’s eyes, he saw the butler Claire being hit by a huge boulder.
Saeran’s face hardened.
A huge boulder hit Claire and rolled, destroying the market street.
Kwakwang-!
A loud noise rings out.
Ding-! Ding-! Ding-!
The loud bell continued to ring.
“Aaaah!”
“Four people were crushed!”
“What is this rock…!”
“Please help me with my legs… my legs…!”
Roy and Lawrence stiffened.
Saeran, who was watching the scene from the lake, covered his mouth with a trembling hand.
Suddenly, screams and screams are heard from the flying rock.
The streets were covered in blood, and people who lost their legs and were crushed by rocks begged for help.
Roy cautiously raised his head.
Numerous boulders were seen in the sky.
“Ah…”
Roy quickly grabbed Lawrence’s hand and ran.
Kwajik-!
Rocks fall to the floor.
A scream is heard from behind.
“Save me-!”
Civilians on the streets are hit with rocks and rolled around.
The building collapses and civilians are crushed to death.
“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahaa
“Run!”
“What on earth?”
The once peaceful city turned into chaos.
‘No!’
Saeran screamed inwardly. He
quickly reached out and tried to dip his hand into the lake, but he could only see the future and could not interfere.
“Run, Dad!”
“Huh huh…!”
Lawrence took a deep breath.
At that time, there was a carriage blocking the two men.
“Everyone get on quickly!”
“Harman!”
Roy mentioned the name of the paladin on the coach seat.
“What on earth happened….”
“I’ll tell you the details later. hurry…!”
Roy and Lawrence got on board.
“Mom, what about you?”
Harmon said in response to Roy’s question.
“Other paladins went to the village. They will evacuate the villagers.”
Roy was reassured by Harmon’s words.
Then, he got on the carriage and stiffened in shock.
“Are you okay, sister?”
“Cheer up, sister. It’s not like this…!”
Twin brothers Mabel and Marcel are visible.
And in the center is Saeran.
‘…What?’
Saeran’s eyes wavered as he looked at his shabby appearance.
Five years later, Saeran lowered his head and showed unfocused eyes.
Why does he, who has a lively personality, have such a miserable face?
Why do he have such dead eyes? ?
When Saeran was puzzled, he knew the answer.
“Uncle… Mom… Marcus…”
Saeran stiffened.
King Jaynor and Runan Ariana’s younger brother Marcus.
Those three were… .
‘no!’
Saeran screamed,
“Go!”
Harmon led the horses.
The carriage ran.
Stones continued to fall from the sky.
The horses were frightened, stamping their feet here and there to avoid the stones.
“Just a little more…!”
I saw the exit leading out of the city right in front of me.
“That’s it!”
Harmon ran out of the city center while shouting.
At that time, a rumbling of the ground was heard.
Roy turned around and removed the tent of the carriage.
And he could see.
“What is that…”
A huge rumbling.
And from 10 meters away. Giants over 15 meters tall.
They were advancing.
They had huge rocks in their hands and threw them into the city center. The stones
rolled and destroyed the city center.
Dozens of people were crushed to death. They trampled
the city center and picked up people and bit them. It rips it open.
The biggest giant among them.
Its entire body is covered in ice.
Every time it walks, it sprays cold air around the surrounding area and freezes it.
The giants around it seem to be annoyed, so they hit it with their hands and throw it away.
-Freeze them all!
It raises both hands and slams it down.
The ground cracked and icebergs sprang up.
Icebergs over tens of meters high destroyed villages and trapped people in the ice.
-Hahahahaha!
The ice giant burst out laughing.
Then he raised his head in surprise.
Saeran in the lake seeing the future. Our eyes met.
“…!”
When Saeran took a step back in surprise, the ice giant frowned and stretched out his hand into the air.
It split the space.
The lake that sees the future freezes and breaks.
Penetrating the future time and space, Seran’s A huge hand appeared around him.
‘How…?’
Her entire body trembled from the sudden cold that struck her.
The enormous power twisted even space and time.
Saeran crouched down.
Breath flowed from his mouth
. No.
“No-!”
And then a hand grabbed her.
…..
…
..
-…I missed it.
“Huh…!”
Saeran opened his eyes.
Beads of sweat were rolling down from his forehead.
His trembling gaze . It was facing the ceiling.
In his room, on either side of him were twin brothers who were sleeping in a dazed state.
Saeran covered his face with his trembling hands.
He curled up his whole body and sobbed.
The cold chill that he felt even in his dreams instilled fear deep in his bones.
The apocalypse . It was approaching.
**
A month after the Palmer incident.
The Holy Empire was being ruled smoothly by Luan, White, and Seran’s mother, Runan.
Aslan heard that Hilda was leading the army and quickly stabilizing it after her visit.
Duchy of Ariana.
I was in Seran’s office, and right next to me, Hans was carving a warp line on the wall of his office.
Hans drew a warp line and said,
“The experiments that the successive rulers did began exactly 500 years ago.”
I rested my cheek on the back of my hand on the sofa.
I drank tea with my other hand and looked at the warp line
that Hans was drawing. After asking about the second prince for a month, Hans finally opened his mouth.
He broke into a cold sweat and said
, “They all ended in failure. As human rights did not exist until 100 years ago, there were various research results through unethical experiments.”
“What kind of research is it?”
In response to my question, Hans stopped his hand from drawing the warp line, hesitated for a moment,
and then cautiously opened his mouth:
“The consecration of vampires.”
“…”
“A plan to completely subjugate vampires full of contradictions who serve God but want to become gods by killing God, and tame them in the Holy Family. That is. Hans drew a warp line and said,
“This is the so-called Holy Vampire Plan.”
“If you look at the laws of this world, it was impossible. “It is about breaking down contradictions once again.”
It uses magic by absorbing magical power from nature and develops strength by sucking human blood.
That’s a vampire.
For them, human blood was like a lifespan, and God was the place they would ascend to.
For them to reject human blood and serve God meant death.
“This is absolutely impossible.”
“Yes, it was generally impossible. However, as there are already beings that are beyond common sense, the possibility has opened up.”
“A being beyond common sense?”
Hans, who was drawing a warp line, turned around and frowned at my question.
It’s an expression that says, ‘Are you asking because you really don’t know?’
“His Royal Highness Allen Allpols.”
“…”
“It’s a group of superhumans who are thriving. The blood of that relative is also incredibly rare. and.”
Hans sighed and drew the warp line again.
“His Majesty the Holy King’s holy water also goes beyond common sense. In the world… Is there any holy water in the world that worships His Majesty the Holy King and praises God just by drinking holy water? Even if you try to make it through alchemy, it will never be possible.”
Hans trembled.
“It’s almost a brainwashing ability. Above all, do you think it makes sense that drinking holy water will lead you to the verge of awakening your holy power?”
“No matter how saintly he is, this is historically unusual.”
I guess so. There may be the saint’s power, but the game system also overlaps, maximizing that power.
I quenched my appetite.
“So the Holy Emperor had hope and made one last attempt. “The result is the same as what you see.”
The birth of a divine vampire.
An apex predator that drinks non-human holy water and eats vampires.
An absolute natural enemy that kills vampires.
The Seonghwang family continued their research for 500 years to create it, and as an inheritor of the Seonghwang family’s blood, they succeeded together with Hans after the research.
The result was the 2nd Prince, Rupel Allfaults, a baby now called Roy.
“…There is no such thing as a devil. “You’re using your grandson as research.”
“You said that when you became a vampire, you were no longer your grandson.”
Hans crossed his arms with a satisfied expression, as if he had finished drawing the warp line.
“And His Majesty the Holy Emperor said.”
Hans looked at me and opened his mouth.
“To become successful, you have to become a devil.”
“…”
As long as the result is good, the process sacrifices that come with it are not considered.
That was the law of the Seonghwang family.
I guess I too am destined to reach that position. Just as
I
was lost in my thoughts, there was a knock on the door.
I got up and opened the door.
Saeran was there with his head down.
“…Help me.”
I closed my mouth as I heard a sobbing voice.
“Help me, Allen.”
She lifted her head, holding her shoulder.
Saeran begged with tears in his eyes.
“Please… protect my family.”
