Holy Emperor’s Grandson is a Necromancer - Chapter 185
Episode 185 〈 Naglfar. 〉
I walked through the underground tunnel and opened the Bible.
This is a book that can be found everywhere in churches.
Also, there is something that is mentioned every time in books like this.
purgatory.
A place with numerous evil spirits.
It is said that reapers fly in the gray sky, there are zombies in the streets, and a warship made of bones sails on a bloody lake.
Such scenes were illustrated and included in the Bible.
It was definitely the same as the background of purgatory seen during the King’s Succession Ceremony.
The person who wrote this book described it well.
“What are you?”
While I was walking through the underground waterway, I looked ahead.
Lycans have come down to the underground waterway where holy water flows.
Since it is a sewer connected to the fortress, they must be on guard.
The cloth wrapped around the face appears to be to prevent holy water from evaporating and entering the respiratory tract.
I was thinking about purgatory, and before I knew it, I had arrived at my destination.
I looked at them blankly.
Well, in times like this.
“Hello!”
It’s been a while since I spoke to him jokingly.
The Lycans seemed surprised and relaxed.
“You crazy guy.”
“Now even crazy people are coming.”
A gloomy guy wearing a bird-beak mask and a robe is walking alone in an underground waterway.
Then he calmly says hello to Lycan.
Of course, you would think that Mattaengi has gone.
“What a crazy guy. “That’s rude.”
I took off my bird-beak mask.
“Are you saying that even though you know who I am?”
The Lycans narrowed their eyebrows.
When I realized who I was and took a step back in shock.
The lycan’s head exploded.
I smiled, holding the Bible in my right hand and the musket in my left.
“Bless Goddess Gaia.”
“Prosperous…!”
bang-!
The other guy’s head exploded as well.
Since it is an underground waterway, gunshots will not go outside.
I looked at the stairs leading to the castle.
I also knew where Marcus was.
Now there is no need to hesitate once you are rescued.
“Okay then.”
I sent a message to Hans.
[Hans, thank you for taking the time.]
It’s time to start rescuing the hostages.
**
A carriage passes by.
Long rows of carts escorted by paladins are loaded with food and supplies to feed countless refugees.
Hans Gerardi, who was riding in the carriage, was nervous and his legs were shaking.
He must now negotiate with Duke Agares as a negotiator.
As he reached Chabert’s territory, the communication crystal ball he was holding in his hand lit up.
[Hans, thank you for taking my time.]
Even if you say so. I am an alchemist, not a negotiator.
Hans touched his forehead.
He’s been asking questions about purgatory all day, and now he tells me to come face to face with the vampire duke.
It’s too much.
“Are you nervous?”
Hans looked across from him.
A mature woman with long wavy blonde hair and blue eyes was sitting.
However, to prepare for battle, she wore light armor tailored to her body rather than a maid’s uniform. She wore gauntlets in her hands and had long hair. He was tidying it up by tying it with a string.
‘Is it fortunate that the saint is an escort?’
“Aren’t you nervous, Ellis?”
“I’m very nervous. I’m sure His Majesty the Holy Emperor has done something reckless again.”
Ellis sighed briefly.
The Astoria clan always supported the Holy Family.
Complaining didn’t change anything.
Hans looked at the window.
The remaining ranks went to the refugee formation where Charlotte was for supplies.
Only Hans and Only the carriage with Ellis in it headed towards the Chabert estate.
The outer gate of the estate opened.
“It’s finally starting.”
Hans nodded at Ellis’s words.
Vampires followed, surrounding the carriage.
Since they were sent as negotiators and came under the pretext of exchanging hostages,
there will be no harm during negotiations.
‘I guess you should believe that.’
Hans licked his dry lips.
After passing through the city, they arrived at the castle.
The vampires looked at the carriage with nervous faces.
The carriage door opened and Hans and Ellis got out.
“Come this way, cattle.”
“…”
Hans nodded and followed behind the vampire.
Ellis also stayed by his side as an escort.
The place they were heading to was the VIP room of the castle.
The door opened and Hans froze.
‘That’s the vampire duke.’
An elderly man was standing with his lower body covered with a crocodile.
He seemed unable to sit down, so he was on a blanket covered with cloth, and there was a sofa opposite him.
“Monk Han.”
Ellis said as Hans was dumbfounded.
Hans nodded and sat down on the sofa across from Agares.
And negotiations began.
There were no greetings.
Unlike humans, they were supposed to kill each other unconditionally.
The petty formalities were overlooked.
“I can’t see Rupel and Duke Kirum. What happened?”
Agares knows who the other person is.
Hans Gerrami.
He is one of the ten powerful figures in the current Holy Emperor’s Empire. He
is trusted by the Holy Emperor and uses all kinds of alchemy.
He was a person who increased 30% of the Holy Emperor’s military power in the past five years. .
To a vampire, he is someone who must be killed.
Hans crossed his arms and said calmly,
“First, show me that Marcus is okay.”
“We have many hostages. Marcus Ariana, the 3,000 survivors here, and the three people you planted. Don’t you know who has the advantage in negotiations now?”
“What would you do if we abandoned the hostages?”
“Then you wouldn’t have come here like this. Aren’t you a coward who doesn’t even have the guts to do that?”
“What do you believe and are you so sure about?”
Agares raised the corners of her mouth and pointed at Hans with her finger.
“The fact that you are scared and trembling is proof of that.”
Hans paused.
He lowered his head and looked at his legs.
They were shaking unconsciously.
“Besides, you’re sweating.”
Cold sweat drips down your cheeks.
“Contrary to your reputation, you are very timid. There is no way you would have voluntarily volunteered for a job like this. Did you send it to Seonghwang as a discarded card?”
“Oh, well…”
Hans looked embarrassed. He took a deep breath and said,
“Unfortunately, I’m not brave enough to be scared by mosquitoes or something.”
“Huh, that’s an interesting bluff.”
“Aren’t you nervous? Here and now.”
Vampires and lycans hover around Hans.
“I’m afraid we’ll kill you.”
Despite the pressure, Ellis calmly folded his hands together and remained polite.
Hans swallowed dry saliva.
‘He’s trying to scare me on purpose.’
Rather, the person who is scared is the vampire.
Because the plague has spread here.
Moreover, the heavenly army is stationed outside.
He must be anxious as he is trapped in a prison he cannot escape.
The fact that he talks a lot and tries to scare is proof of this.
[Hans is finished.]
Arms. A voice was heard from the communication crystal sphere.
It seems that Ellis also heard it.
Ellis gently relaxed her hands and clenched them into fists.
“Nervous? Oh, that’s right. Nervous. That’s right.”
Hans nodded several times,
then loosened his collar and said,
“…Of course I can’t help but be nervous. It’s my job to keep you here. But you took the time by finding my fault instead of negotiating. “Stupid Mr. Mosquito.”
“what?”
While Agares was confused, the VIP room door burst open.
“Duke Agares!”
Agares looked at the door entrance.
One of the vampires screamed while being wounded.
“There is an intruder in the castle. “I don’t know how they found out, but they went to the prison where Marcus Ariana is…!”
Agares’ eyes widened.
no way?
Agares quickly glared at Hans.
“I heard that His Majesty the Holy Emperor conveyed it by letter.”
Hans carefully stood up and stepped back.
“If Prince Marcus gets hurt at all.”
I forced a smile with a nervous face.
“I’m going to rip out that head.”
These guys caught my attention!
“this guy-!”
Agares stretched out her hand, feeling overwhelmed.
At the same time, Hans’s back is grabbed and pulled backwards.
Ellis grabbed Hans with her left hand and clenched her fist with her right.
Elise caught her breath as holy power poured out of the gauntlet.
I hit back Agares’ flying hand with my fist.
Boom –
an explosion occurred.
The door burst open and the vampires flew out.
Alice came out from the hazy dust, carrying Hans on her back.
Ellis quickly ran down the hallway with Hans by her side.
Agares blew away the cloudy dust with the crocodile’s tail.
He looked at his hands.
The old man’s swollen hands are melting.
The fist of holy power was quite fierce.
“How dare you mock me?”
The other vampires speak.
“I’ll chase after you!”
Agares looked back and forth between the hallway where Ellis was running and the hallway leading to the prison.
Who should I chase now?
A blood relative of the Seonghwang family? Or them?
There is no time to worry.
“I’m going to jail!”
Agares turned toward the prison.
If they had planned it this far, then hostages would definitely be effective.
I couldn’t miss Marcus.
Hans clung to Ellis and took out a communication crystal ball from his arms.
“Your Majesty, now is the time! They are in prison…. Where are they now?”
[excellent. Hans. Just now….]
**
Underground water.
Aztalun was unleashed around Allen’s body wearing the bird’s beak mask.
[We have just successfully escaped.]
Edolph Grill Yuria, taking Marcus with him, was rushing through the underground waterway.
The rescue was a success.
Now if you give me a signal.
The survivors here will also begin moving according to the rover’s instructions.
Confusion was needed for them to escape safely.
Allen summoned the Golden Spear of Avaldi.
“I need you to step forward this time. “Head of the Chaolium Church.”
He then dipped the spear into the holy water flowing in the sewer.
“Michael.”
**
“shit-!”
Agares cursed.
When he saw the empty prison, he covered his head.
“Chase, chase!”
Agares shouted.
The vampires hesitated and said,
“They ended up in an underground waterway filled with holy water…”
“Are you saying that now?”
Agares grabbed the vampire’s head.
“How on earth did you arrange the troops to end up like this? You shouldn’t have waited until I came!”
“It was a huge success!”
Agares paused.
“The person who infiltrated… “It was a success.”
Agares relaxed her hands.
His eyes shake and he sweeps down his face.
All kinds of thoughts passed through my head.
Seonghwang sneaked in and spread a plague to prevent the hostages from being killed.
Somehow I found out where Marcus Ariana was and rescued her.
Now there is no hesitation for Seonghwang.
It will begin.
His attack-!
“Prepare for battle immediately. “Their invasion has begun…!”
thud-!
The ground shook.
A tremor so strong that it shook the castle.
Agares supported herself with four crocodile legs and a tail.
“…what.”
earthquake?
Anxiety came over me.
A smell so disgusting that it sent shivers down my spine pierced my nose.
This was the smell of holy water.
“…You have to know what’s going on outside.”
Agares quickly took a step forward.
Vampires also follow.
He headed to the top of the castle.
I opened the warehouse-like door and opened the window.
The vampires following behind fell silent at the sight seen through the window.
“Waves of holy water….”
The sewage of Chabert’s territory explodes everywhere.
Holy water gushes out, completely flooding the inside of the territory.
The zombies were swept away by the holy water and destroyed, and the vampires were set on fire.
In an instant, nearly 20,000 undead soldiers were disappearing.
Agares lowered her head.
A wave of holy water touches the fortress and pushes it away.
Fortunately, it is not enough to tear down the castle wall.
Agares’ eyes wavered.
There is no way out now.
“…preparing for a water battle.”
“Are you planning on fighting?”
Of course we have to fight.
Those are the only options.
Agares turned his gaze toward the outer wall.
The outer door is open.
Survivors are escaping there.
It is impossible to retake that place.
There should at least be a sit-in protest in this fortress.
“We fight until the end.”
Agares shouted.
“Fight till the end. The Vampire King is with us. “If I die with them, it will be an honor to the Vampire King!”
Agares roared with magical power.
“Ready for battle!”
Words echo throughout the fortress.
“Fight and die for the Vampire King with pride!”
A shout to raise morale.
The vampires began to move at the sound of his voice.
To them, the vampire king is absolute.
Now that that name is mentioned, there is no more hesitation for them.
Vampires and lycans shout.
He raised his weapon, opened his mouth, and shouted.
“For the vampire king….”
Boom…!
The sound of the ground begins again.
I grabbed the railing, forgetting that the vampires were shouting.
Everyone looked at the land that was being flooded.
thud…!
The holy water waves.
One of the vampires turned his gaze toward the outer door.
The outer door is slowly closing.
As it was completely sealed off from the outside world, the holy water began to fill the territory more and more.
bang-!
The well-maintained floor is lifted and explodes.
Bricks and surrounding buildings rise and collapse.
A huge spray of water rising hundreds of meters high.
And something visible between the streams of water.
It was…
“A ship?”
It was a warship.
The vampires’ eyes widened.
Holy water surged around like a wave, and a warship over 100 meters long rose up and landed.
It crushed the floor and destroyed the surrounding buildings.
Agares He swallowed dry saliva.
-Praise!
Words filled with holy power spread from the deck of the ship.
-This is a miracle of God!
A white warship made of bone.
Hundreds of oars stretched out in a long row are rowed.
The warship advances on the waves of holy water. -Know
His greatness and fear His omnipotence!
Boom…! Boom…! Boom…!
Dozens of cannons are positioned on the left and right sides of the warship.
-Cow! Arrive!
Above the signboard. They are screaming while holding muskets and curved swords.
– I am the founder of a new church.
The sails are spread and the shabby tent follows the wind as the warship sails.
On the deck.
A being among the mummies.
A white robe fluttering and a scythe in hand. Reaper.
– Michael commands.
He flutters his robe and the eye light in his skull flashes.
He aims the Reaper’s scythe at the fortress where Agares is.
– Kneel before His Majesty and sing praises for him!
Naglfar, the warship of the dead. .It
started sailing towards the citadel.
