Holy Emperor’s Grandson is a Necromancer - Chapter 183
Episode 183 〈 Spreading Plague 〉
It was not difficult to infiltrate the Chabert territory.
Because Grill and his party used the infiltration method.
The only problem is that after passing through the sewer, my entire body was covered in sewage.
I went up to the underground water.
dark night.
I frowned when I saw the dirt on my clothes in the alley.
“I can’t believe I, a prosperous person, am like this.”
As I sniffed, the smell of sewage rose up to the tip of my nose. I
took off my clothes and changed into new ones.
Then, I took off my mask and washed it with holy water.
“Please save me!”
A human scream was heard.
I immediately climbed onto the roof. I lowered my waist and looked at the street.
A man is running panting down the street.
He has something wrapped in cloth in his arms.
“batten!”
“I never thought there would be a crazy person wandering around at night!”
Half-human, half-animal monsters race in the darkness.
Body over 2m.
A bent back and long hands and feet.
It’s a lycan.
The man ran through the streets at night and shouted.
“Someone save me!”
I could see windows on every street in the city.
I could feel eyes on them, but no one helped me. They just
drew curtains and blocked the windows with boards.
“They say there are children. Give this medicine to children…!”
I despair and beg.
The Lycans laughed at him.
I quickly went down the alley.
He shouted towards where the man was running.
“Hey! This way.”
The man looked at me.
When I gestured, the man’s despairing face turned a little brighter. He
was dressed suspiciously, wearing a bird-beaked mask and a robe.
Still, the man had a small hope that there was someone who could help him.
“Thank you.” !”
As the man approached me, I grabbed his hand and ran.
Go deep into the alley.
I raised my gaze to the roof.
The lycans ran at high speed over the roofs of both buildings.
He glanced at me and the man and smiled wickedly.
They are having fun.
For them, chasing prey that cannot resist is nothing more than a fun hunting game.
The face of the man walking down the alley turned pale.
“Oh no. If you keep going straight like this…!”
As I was running down the alley, I stopped.
It’s a dead end.
Thanks to this, the pursuing Lycans fell from the roof and blocked the only path.
“What a strange outfit.”
“What are you doing?”
Two lycans took a step forward.
There is no vigilance.
They must be overflowing with confidence since they have only captured those who have not resisted so far.
At least in this dead end street, they know that no one can save them.
Of course, that also applies to Lycans.
“What is this guy doing?”
I took out a shovel from the item window.
It’s been a long time since I felt the taste of my hands.
How long has it been since I used this?
The lycans stop.
“Strange magic….”
“A wizard?”
The Lycans looked surprised at the shovel being pulled out of the air.
I said while looking at them growling.
“He is a priest. “Is the name like an extra?”
The Lycans’ eyes became sharp at the word priest.
“priest!”
“I never thought they were still alive in this city!”
The lycans’ entire bodies swelled.
Their nails became sharp. Their fangs
protruded and veins appeared. Their fur stood up
and they were about to step on the ground and rush towards me.
I jumped into their arms first.
Before the lycans could react. I couldn’t see them.
Their eyes were just watching me slowly bending down to their lower abdomen.
When they were filled with shock,
I hit the guy’s lower body upwards with the shovel.
The shovel imbued with holy power split the lycan’s crotch.
“I cut right through the lower abdomen and right through the chest.
Hehe!”
Only after one Lycan’s body was separated into left and right sides did the fellow next to him react. He was
startled and tried to howl, so he covered his mouth with a shovel.
He held the shovel in his right hand and the Lycan’s neck in his left hand and pushed him against the wall.
“Wow! What kind of power…!”
It is strength that does not use sexual power.
Thanks to its superhuman body, it is easy to subdue even a Lycan.
I glared at the Lycan and said,
“Where is Duke Agares?”
**
It was easy to find out the information.
There are about 3,000 survivors here, and they are all hiding in the houses.
At night, the vampires hunt only some of them and use them as food.
The reason for not killing them all is to prevent the prosperity of the Holy Empire, as expected. A shield for you.
Also, the vampires were on edge because they heard the news that the Heavenly Army and I were coming down from the Kingdom of Franz.
-The Duke ordered them to refrain from hunting if possible because they have to take humans hostage.
Agares It’s an order given by the Duke.
Thanks to that, about 3,000 people survived.
There are times when vampires come in handy.
I remembered the whereabouts of Duke Agares and Marcus that Lycan had mentioned.
-He is currently on his way here.
Hostage at Chabert’s Estate It must have been because he sent a letter saying he would exchange it.
“Thank you. I never thought the priest was still alive!”
The man who rescued me led me to a nearby ruined church.
There were several survivors there,
many of them old women and children.
The man hiding in the church handed out medicine wrapped in cloth to the children and said to me,
“Gu . “You did it for me, but how should I repay this favor?”
I looked at the messed up church and looked at the man.
“What’s your name?”
“Ah, my name is Rover. Thank you to the priest…”
Rover looked at me with relief and made the sign of the cross.
“May Goddess Gaia’s grace be with you. Are there any other priests?”
“No, I came from outside.”
“You mean from outside?”
Rover looked surprised.
He looked out the window through the curtains for a moment. He
was relieved to see that no one was around.
He looked at me and said in a stern warning,
“Priest, you must not be known here.”
“Why is that so?”
I asked, puzzled.
Actually, I understood it to some extent.
“…Because there is a vampire disguised as a human hiding there.”
As expected, vampires are hiding among the hostages.
This is probably because they are easy to monitor and control.
For me, it is not a big obstacle.
Because I can distinguish between vampires.
If there is a problem, it is something else.
It is the people who cooperate with them even though they are humans and not vampires.
People who sell their own people to survive.
Such people exist everywhere.
This is why I wore a mask and infiltrated.
I must avoid making my face known for no reason and provoking the vampires in the territory to slaughter the hostages.
“Be careful . summer solstice.”
Rover nodded,
“But what do you mean it came from outside…?”
I looked at Rover’s characteristics.
He was sincere, trustworthy, affectionate, etc.
In terms of humanity, he was great.
A cooperative relationship would be enough.
I told him the truth.
“I came from the Holy Empire. I am currently here to recapture the Chabert domain.”
“Oh my God! Really? Oh thank you, Gaia. Thank you, Your Majesty!”
Rover was obediently happy at the hope of survival.
I looked at him and asked,
“But there’s something I want to ask you.”
“Yes, you say so. We will cooperate with anything!”
“Aren’t there two guys named Greil Edolf and a girl named Yuria?”
Rover thought deeply and shook his head.
“I’m sorry. I don’t know these people.”
“Right.”
Looks like they are having a hard time too.
Still, Grill said he has an acquaintance here, so it should be okay.
They will gather information on their own.
You can contact me later.
“Cluck cluck!”
I heard a cough.
I looked around.
An old woman and children were gathered together.
Their skin had turned purple. It was
a plague. The
disease was spreading because the poison was thick and there were many corpses around.
Rover had a hard time getting medicine to the children. I gave it to him, but it felt like it wasn’t enough.
“Are you okay?”
I approached them and said,
“It’s okay.”
The child smiled innocently.
It looked like he was suppressing the pain.
I looked at the child and froze when I saw the bones of a small animal in the corner. There
were mouse fur and bones scattered around, as if a field mouse had been killed and eaten.
Next to it was a mouse. I saw the cage that had caught it.
“…is there not enough food?”
I said to Rover, and
Rover nodded:
“There is nothing to eat, so we are eating the nearby rats.”
“Thank goodness it’s not a zombie rat.”
However, it is enough to spread a plague.
Vampires must have been looking for this as well.
Control would be possible only if the hostages were weak.
“Cluck, cluck.”
The child coughs.
Unable to overcome the high fever, I collapsed into my seat.
I spoke to Rover.
“I’m going to check on you.”
“Oh, of course.”
I stretched out my hand to the child.
“So, what is your name?”
Rover spoke carefully next to me and I stroked the child’s head.
“me?”
Inject sexual power.
The child’s body was filled with particles of light.
“My name is Allen Allpols.”
Rover, the children, and the old woman opened their eyes wide.
Light spreads.
The purple skin that had spread over the child’s body disappears.
As the fever went down, the child’s pale face became brighter.
The child looked at me with surprised eyes.
“Magic…. “Are you a wizard?”
I burst out laughing at those words.
**
“Miracle…”
Rover mutters.
The old woman was startled and quickly fell flat on her back.
“Good luck, Your Majesty!”
I shook my head and said what Rover was trying to say at the top of his voice.
“Didn’t they tell you to be careful?”
The rover stopped and took an awkward stance.
When I saw the old woman, she also hesitated and stood up.
“I’m sorry.”
“Then what should I call you?”
“Just call them extras with an assumed name.”
If you use this name, Edolph will probably notice it to some extent.
That I am here.
All right.”
Rover nodded.
I saw field mice trapped in cages.
It’s a field mouse with a disease.
I remembered something that happened a long time ago in a northern village.
A plague spread by zombie rats biting people.
And the grace given to Grill, etc.
Now is the time to experiment with it.
“Rover.”
“Yes, it’s a success… no, extras.”
I smiled at him.
“Shall I show you what the plague of priests is?”
**
The lycans on the outer wall of Chaber territory were nervous.
I raised my head and looked near the mountain range.
A long line of refugees.
Paladins wearing rune armor camped in front of them.
‘Oh my God, it’s a prosperous kingdom!’
Before they knew it, they had arrived at Chabert’s estate.
They were encamped and resting, but their appearance seemed as if they were threatening to attack Chabert’s territory at any moment.
Lycan’s expression brightened in tension.
“It’s Duke Agares!”
A procession of vampires could be seen on a hill in the distance.
Duke Agares has the lower body of a crocodile and the upper body of an old man.
The vampire knights follow behind them.
Marcus Arianna of the Kingdom of Franz is imprisoned in a prison converted from a carriage.
The lycans howled at their imposing appearance.
This is because they thought that as long as there were hostages, the Seonghwangbeopguk would not attack them.
Agares passed through the open outer door.
At the same time, I broke into a cold sweat as I looked at the formation of the Holy Emperor’s Kingdom in the mountains.
‘Damn you guys.’
Just the mere fact that there was such a bustling place sent shivers down my spine.
If they give up their hostages and summon an archangel to push through,
they will be annihilated.
‘But it’s okay. It’s not just one or two people. There are blood relatives and over 3,000 hostages.’
Even the success will not be easy.
Duke Agares, who entered the Chabert estate, was relieved by the familiar smell.
The smell of rotting corpses and iron-filled blood soaking the ground.
Oh, what a fragrant smell this is.
Agares was relaxed and her mind became peaceful.
Sniff.
“Huh?”
Agares lowered her gaze.
A rat was biting her leg.
The thick crocodile skin prevented it from tearing off.
“Huh, that’s why these animals are so lazy.”
The rats of this world are fearless. No
matter how big or small they are, they have a tendency to bite anything edible.
Agares hit the rat with her foot, popping it.
She started walking again.
As she felt at ease, she felt hungry.
These past few days . Since we couldn’t hunt proper livestock, let’s enjoy a dinner here.
“Please save me!”
Agares headed towards the castle and turned her gaze towards the alley.
The vampires cornered the survivors.
Agares smiled happily at the sight.
See, this is normal.
Vampires hunt humans, and humans are eaten without being able to resist. It is destiny.
A world where everything has been corrected.
It is a world of vampires.
Agares closed his eyes. A
human scream is heard in his ears.
Ah, it is a sweet sound.
This scream
… !”
It was a vampire’s scream.
Agares stopped and opened his eyes in surprise.
He quickly turned his gaze back to the alley.
“Why, why…!”
The vampire that had bitten the survivor stepped back in pain.
He grabbed his own neck.
Blood appeared on his face.
Blood flowed from his eyes, nose, mouth, and ears.
The vampire was embarrassed, and Agares watched the scene frozen. .
And.
Kwasik!
The vampire’s body exploded.
“…!”
Agares closed her mouth.
The vampire whose upper body exploded burned and fell to her knees.
As even the corpse disappeared, Agares felt a disgusting energy. .
It was holy power.
With a dazed expression, Agares turned his gaze to the street.
His eyes gradually grew bigger and began to become colored with fear.
-Aaaaaaaaaaa! The lycans cried out in pain and the vampires fell to their knees, bleeding.
The city center .
The screams of vampires rang out from everywhere:
“Please save me. Duke…!”
A vampire approached Agares.
The vampire’s body slowly swells.
Agares’ body exploded before his eyes.
Blood and flesh were smeared on Agares’ face.
I was losing my mind.
Agares couldn’t understand this chaos.
What on earth happened…?What is happening!
The moment my hair turned white, I had a passing thought.
A prosperous kingdom.
And the only being capable of such power.
Successful Allen All Falls.
A face that looked like he was laughing came to mind.
This was what Seonghwang did.
“Good luck, you guy!”
Agares screamed like a scream.
Chabert Estate.
A holy plague spread from there.
