Holy Emperor’s Grandson is a Necromancer - Chapter 19
Episode 19. The prince really rolls.
====================
It is said that the strength of a ghoul is comparable to that of four adult men.
The soldier blocked the ghoul’s blow very easily.
‘But how…?’
The soldier trembled at the energy he felt in his body.
The body is light. Injuries were also healed. I also feel much stronger than before.
The soldier turned his gaze to the sacred energy felt behind him.
The damn prince was standing next to Lord Gerald.
He is sticking a shovel, from which I don’t know where it came from, into the ground and emitting particles of light.
The prince muttered with an expression of boredom.
“…Please just look at it this time.”
It was a voice full of resentment, but I couldn’t tell exactly who it was directed at.
But this much was certain.
This mighty blessing is the magic practiced by the prince!
That’s why the soldiers fell into confusion.
“But how could the prince use this kind of magic…?”
Aren’t you a lousy piece of trash and an incompetent idiot?
Soldiers met priests who had been visiting the Sacrificial Shrine for decades.
Among them, there were high-ranking priests with considerable skills, but I had never seen anyone who spread a blessing of this level of power on such a wide scale.
‘…More than anything else, was the blessing something that lasted this long?’
It wasn’t just the body that was blessed. It is surrounded by holy powers such as a sword, spear, shield, and armor.
Wide range holy power magic. What’s more, it’s so powerful that even objects can dwell in it!
“What on earth…?”
The soldiers all had looks of disbelief.
At the same time, I remembered a story I had heard since I was a child.
Amon, King of the Dead, who led hundreds of thousands of armies.
Celtic Allpols, a great hero from 50 years ago who stopped the evil spirit king Amon.
The prince behind him was the grandson who inherited the bloodline of the ‘Great Hero’ and ‘Royal Celt Olfals’.
This enormous and magnificent holy power must have come from such a noble bloodline.
“Fight well. “I’ll pour your heels in like gas at a gas station.”
I don’t know what the prince means. But I feel like strength is going through my whole body.
The hero’s grandson is watching over him.
The bloodline of the great hero who killed King Amon is now assisting them in the land of the evil spirits.
They were overflowing with confidence, as if they were knights fighting alongside a great hero.
“Oh oh oh oh oh!”
The soldiers shouted.
ㅡKiaaaaaaaaa!
On the contrary, the undead scream.
The soldiers clutch their shields and bow.
Ghouls are running and zombies are approaching at a fast pace.
The undead crashed into the soldiers.
The shield is pushed away with a jerk.
“Don’t be pushed! Hang in there!”
The assistant behind him says.
The soldier holding the shield in front gritted his teeth.
‘No problem···!’
There was no problem.
That’s right…
“Hmph!”
…Because they were no longer ordinary soldiers.
My feet hesitated as they touched the ground, but I persevered.
Rather, he even swung his shield as if it were bouncing and pushed away the charging ghoul.
The ghoul lost his balance and flung his hands in the air.
oh my god! Did you just push the ghoul away?
The deputy gunner behind him looked surprised and stabbed his spear.
Phew…!
The blade of the spear pierced the ghoul’s body with terrifying gentleness.
ㅡKiaaaaaaa!
Remove the spear blade.
There is a large hole where the ghoul was pierced, and ashes are flowing out.
The ghoul cried out in pain, grabbed his shoulder, backed away, and let out a warning scream.
The soldiers widened their eyes at that sight.
‘Do you feel pain…?’
Undead…?
The deputy gunner looked at his window.
Subtle particles of light are flowing out.
They were simple soldiers. A soldier, not a knight.
Of course, I didn’t know how to learn mana or use holy power.
To put it worst, they were people who received only simple physical training.
Such people were using weapons with ‘holy power’ like holy knights.
“Ha ha ha ha ha ha!”
The soldier burst into laughter without realizing it.
What’s this···. I’m using my sexual power?
The soldiers looked away.
Zombies and ghouls, which used to feel scary, now feel unsightly.
On the contrary, they feel like they have become the Holy Knights they longed for.
“you can do it.”
can do.
“I can win.”
can win!
The soldiers shout. There wasn’t even a line up.
Out of excitement, they leave the ranks.
He swung his sword at the zombies and ghouls with a movement that surprised even him.
The blade cuts through the undead’s skin.
It cuts very sharply, like cutting tofu with a knife.
The areas where the skin was cracked and burned turned into ashes and were scattered in all directions.
“Ha ha ha ha ha!”
The soldiers became arrogant beyond confidence.
The time has come for the living to hunt the dead rather than the dead to hunt the living.
Just as I was thinking that, a soldier sensed someone coming from behind and turned around.
“…uh?”
The soldier had a surprised expression on his face and his head was blown off.
The other soldiers looked away in shock.
He has a huge body measuring 2m 50cm and holds a long sword in his right hand and his head in his left hand.
A headless undead knight wearing full plate armor stood tall.
“Hi!”
The soldiers who saw the ‘Durahan’ screamed.
Only then did the soldiers wake up from their illusion and come to their senses.
At that time, someone stepped on the soldier’s shoulder and jumped up.
“uh?”
The blade of the shovel flashes.
The prince swung the shovel with a harsh gaze.
Dullahan’s sword lightly struck down the shovel.
“What the fuck…?”
The prince’s body floats.
Gerald saw that and shouted.
“Protect Prince Hua!”
The soldiers suddenly came to their senses and caught the prince from where he fell.
“Maintain formation! Everyone, come to your senses!”
He criticized the soldiers who were excited by Gerald’s words.
They are ordinary soldiers. He was by no means a paladin who could use powerful force against the undead.
When the soldiers realized this, they became frightened and quickly retreated.
ㅡGuoooooo!
A scream came out from the mouth of the Dullahan held in his left hand.
Dullahan’s long sword rises high into the sky and strikes down.
“Huh!”
Two soldiers lined up raised their shields to block the long swords. The soldiers’ bodies swayed from the heavy slash.
Dullahan swung his sword once again.
This time, from bottom to top.
Dullahan’s second attack.
There is a crack in the shield. The bodies of the soldiers, who were not pushed back by the power of the ghoul, floated in the air and fell backwards.
As the ranks collapsed and gaps appeared, the soldiers holding spears turned pale.
“Poke it!”
The soldiers grab their spears and stab them.
The spear strengthened with holy power pierced through the armor.
The Dullahan cries out in pain, but does not stop and swings its sword wildly.
“…Oh, that guy…!”
The prince stood up and tried to attack, but Jennold caught him and stopped him.
“Oh no! The opponent is Dullahan. A headless knight! “It’s on a different level from a ghoul…!”
Gerald kept his mouth shut even as he spoke.
The prince frowned and took something out of his pocket.
Gerald’s eyes widened.
The prince takes out a long, pole-shaped weapon from his pocket.
It was surprising that an object of the wrong mass popped out of a small pocket, but what surprised Gerald even more was the weapon he took out.
that···. gun?
Why those accessories…?
ㅡGuoooooo!
Dullahan’s eyes glow.
When Dullahan swung his sword, two soldiers were thrown away.
As the ranks were broken by the Dullahan, the ghouls and zombies launched a counterattack again.
Dullahan lifted his head and grinned.
My eyes rolled back and forth and looked at the little boy among the humans.
ㅡKkirik?
About the time I realized that a long stick was aimed at me…
As soon as a flash of light erupted, the head of the Dullahan held in his left hand exploded and turned into ashes.
As soon as it lost its head, Dullahan’s body fell forward on its knees.
“also···. “I shouldn’t have shown up.”
The prince, holding a musket, sat down on the floor and stuck out his tongue as if he was tired.
* *
Harmon swallowed dry saliva on the outer wall.
The sunny side has the power to drive away magical power, and the shaded side has the power to attract magical power.
If the sun is up, the undead cannot exert much power.
but···.
‘Even that is disappearing.’
Harmon looked at the sky.
In a harsh snowstorm, dark clouds seemed to be eating up the sunlight.
I could faintly feel magical power.
Those dark clouds were like ‘fog’ created by vampires.
‘Besides, the sun is setting.’
The battle that started in the morning continued until evening.
thud···! thud···! thud···!
The zombie stumbles and hits the drum it is holding.
Every time a drum made of human skin rings, zombies and skeletons scream.
“Shoot!”
Following the knight’s orders, the prisoners shoot bows and crossbows.
Numerous arrows rained down on the approaching zombies and skeletons.
The undead raised their flimsy shields to protect their heads.
Arrows fly and pierce their limbs.
It pierced my arms and legs.
Stumble and fall or fall to your knees.
But that was it.
Arrows and bolts could not penetrate the shield. No, even if it did penetrate, it only pierced the arm and could not reach the head.
The undead who could not run reached the outer wall of Ronia at a fast pace.
I climbed the outer wall using a ladder made of wood and bone.
ㅡKkeak! Squeak!
“Drop it!”
I fired my bow and crossbow at the zombies and skeletons climbing the ladder.
The helmet he was wearing was pierced and he stumbled and fell.
Below, the undead stood silently, protecting their heads with shields as they waited for their next turn.
There is no such thing as fear.
There is no pain.
It just moves according to orders.
Unless you hit them right on the head they will come crawling back up.
Legion of the Immortal.
That was the troublesome point of the undead.
“…shit.”
Harmon looked at that and cursed.
The other party is completely ignoring them.
As long as the magical head is not broken, the undead can move as much as they want.
They must be taking advantage of that to wage a war of attrition.
‘No, it’s not these guys that are the problem now.’
The catapult among the zombies rattled and shook.
At the same time, something flew up and landed within Ronia territory.
Harmon looked at where the catapult landed.
A large ball of something crushed the house and rolled on the floor. After a while it split apart and the human figures scattered.
“Zombie catapult…”
What flew up were not the stones used to destroy the walls and castles, but lumps of meat.
It was a zombie.
“Damn it…!”
Harmon looked into the distance across the outer wall.
ㅡQuoooooooo…!
A 4m tall zombie ogre moved.
They grab the zombies gathered in all directions with both hands and stick together as if they were making rice balls.
The sound of bones and flesh crushing under the ogre’s pressure was heard. Sometimes the zombies exploded and blood dripped.
Zombie ogres placed lumps of meat on the catapult.
The skeletons creaked and pulled the catapult’s pulley… Unravel it.
Crumbling!
The pulley was released and the catapult rose up.
The soldiers who saw this were shocked.
“Three worlds…!”
Some of the catapults hit the exterior wall and fell.
The zombies that were gathered together are crushed and fall down the outer wall.
ㅡKkii profit…!
The zombies that fell inside the outer wall moved even though their limbs were crushed.
They stood up unsteadily and scattered in all directions.
“Stop it!”
Soldiers stabbed their spears and stopped the zombies that came over the outer wall.
If the people of the territory were timid, there was a high possibility that they would be eaten or become undead out of fear, unable to resist, rather than fighting for their lives.
“Stop them with the ballista!”
Prisoners moved the ballista installed on the exterior wall.
Load the large spike, aim it at the zombie ogre, and shoot.
Although it passed by or hit the zombie ogre’s body precisely, it was not a threat to the undead.
The zombie ogre only staggered, ignoring the spike that pierced its body, and gathered the zombies back together and placed them on the catapult.
Harmon gritted his teeth.
In this way, it could not be said that the outer door was blocked.
The enemy continued to enter the Ronia territory.
If it continues like this…
‘…It’s taken over!’
Harmon gritted his teeth.
His eyes turned to the vampire count.
The Vampire Count is just sitting on the palanquin and bursting into laughter.
‘Prevent it somehow. At least until the Seonghwangbeopguk finds out about the situation here and sends support here… somehow…!’
But there is no way.
It will take at least two weeks for the Holy Emperor to find out about this. By then, this place will not be able to survive.
As Harmon clenched his fists in anger, a girl passed by in front of him.
“…?”
Harman was startled and looked at the white-haired girl.
