Holy Emperor’s Grandson is a Necromancer - Chapter 194
Episode 194 〈The border of death. 〉
The refugees were relieved that the Jotuns’ pursuit had stopped.
As the chaos dissipated, it became easier to control the refugees.
Since the chase was prevented to some extent, Charlotte was able to rest for the first time in a long time.
Charlotte lay down in bed to sleep, but her eyes wouldn’t close.
It’s been a week.
Allen still can’t wake up.
‘It will be fine.’
He was the one who fell down every time and got up again.
Since he is someone who never gives up, it is obvious that he will get up and smile easily this time too.
But…
Charlotte raised her upper body from the bed.
The maid waiting in the dark tilted her head and asked.
“Are you having trouble sleeping?”
“okay.”
“Your heart must not be shaken. “Charlotte is the head of Heraiz.”
Charlotte nodded at the maid’s words.
Know.
I am the sword and shield of the Holy Emperor.
But I can’t help but feel agitated.
I couldn’t sleep because of the terrible thought that I might actually die this time.
“I’m going to clear my head. “Bring the armor.”
The maids dressed her in armor.
She wore gloves, carried a shield, and wore a sword at her waist.
She left the barracks and headed into the woods, where she saw a familiar figure in a clearing in the woods.
Charlotte said, tilting her head.
“Lord Harman?”
“Aren’t you Marquis Charlotte?”
As Harman was swinging his sword, he found Charlotte and sheathed it.
He also looks tired, probably because he couldn’t sleep.
He is truly a man of deep loyalty.
He was also a person who was by His Majesty’s side even more than he was.
“Marquis, can’t you sleep too?”
When Harmon spoke first, Charlotte made an awkward expression.
“There is no need to be respectful when the two of you are together.”
“Let me do that.”
Charlotte smiled at Harmon’s words.
Harmon was much improved compared to the old days when he was inflexible.
Charlotte drew her sword.
“Would you like to spar?”
“You must be joking, right? “How dare you spar with the Sword King?”
Harmon was shocked.
I don’t have the confidence to dare attack the Sword King.
When Charlotte looked regretful, Harmon laughed helplessly.
Then Charlotte flinched.
A chill ran down my spine.
Feeling a cold sensation, Charlotte looked around.
“Lord Harman, something is coming.”
“what?”
Harman looked around and drew his sword.
“Are you a vampire?”
“No.”
“Is it Jotun?”
“no.”
Charlotte broke into a cold sweat.
She glanced at the ground.
Dust rose slightly.
“…It’s bigger.”
The ground began to shake.
Harman looked around.
No matter how dense the forest was, if Jotuns were approaching, he could tell right away.
But there were no Jotuns in sight.
No, Charlotte said it was something other than Jotuns, so there was enough to make the ground shake. It must mean something big is approaching.
At that time, Charlotte’s eyes widened.
“Under the ground…?”
Charlotte quickly stretched out her hand and pushed Harman away.
Boom!
The ground cracked and a huge mud snake shot out.
Harman, who stepped back, shouted in panic.
“Charlotte!”
Yort, a snake that soared about 50 meters, tried to devour the prey it had caught.
A large shield was stuck over the mouth and would not close.
Charlotte crouched between her shields and drew her sword.
“Whoa….”
Infusing holy power into the sword.
I swung the sword I was holding as it spread a white aura.
thud-!
The body of Yort, the snake of mud, swells.
-Kuhhhhh!
He screamed, struggled, and spat out the shallot.
Charlotte fell several hundred meters and she gritted her teeth and raised her shield.
As he fell to the ground, he swung his shield and struck a curtain of holy power.
As the holy force collided with the ground, the shock lessened.
Charlotte moaned and shouted at Harmon.
“Lord Harman! This is an order. Your Majesty’s evacuation…!”
Harman looked up at Yort.
The mud snake was screaming and writhing.
The refugees must have seen it by now.
Hans and King Franz will take care of evacuating the refugees.
“We will fight together, Charlotte.”
“It’s too much for two of us!”
Harmon paused.
There was no way I could face such a monster without rune armor.
Charlotte said as Harmon gritted his teeth.
“Other vampires or Jotuns may come. The top priority is His Majesty Seonghwang!”
Those words moved Haman.
He stepped back and said,
“I will bring the troops.”
Harman stepped back.
Yort looked down at Charlotte and flicked his tongue.
He opened his mouth and spit out a sandstorm.
With the giant snake in front of him, Charlotte raised her shield.
“…Attack. Snake of the sand.”
***
Roy swallowed a moan.
He breathed hard and sweated profusely.
He spread his hands in front of the silver bowl. He
closed his eyes and concentrated.
This is the first week.
To find the soul of the Holy Emperor. I tried, but I couldn’t figure out where he was.
“This is too much, Holy Lady! Roy is having a hard time!”
Lawrence put his hands on Roy’s shoulders and pleaded.
But Ellis couldn’t hear him. He
was holding Allen’s hands with both hands and praying and reciting the Bible.
When Lawrence said, Roy said,
“It’s okay. I’m still there.” ….”
“But Roy.”
“Please. I want to focus, Dad.”
Lawrence kept his mouth shut.
Then he looked at the entrance of the tent.
There was a commotion outside.
Lawrence took a step and pulled down the tent. And when he went outside, he saw refugees running and panting.
Maybe the Jotuns or vampires would attack again. Did he do it?
Just as he was thinking that,
a monster’s cry was heard from behind him.
When Lawrence looked back in surprise, he saw a huge snake made of mud.
“Oh my god…”
Lawrence hurried back into the barracks.
“ “Roy has to run away! Roy…. Lee?”
Lawrence made a dazed expression.
Roy closed his eyes and stayed still.
It seemed like he couldn’t hear Lawrence’s voice anymore.
Roy saw pitch black darkness.
He slowly became dazed and fell into sleep.
Now he has to find a way. .
You have to find something to rely on and move along with it.
– Me… Ah… Ah… Ah…
I hear a small sound.
Is it that place?
Okay, let’s go.
Roy took a step . .
All I have to do is find someone who is connected to holy water.
With that in mind, I relied on my hearing.
And what I heard was
… -Kyaaaaaaaaa!
It was a scream.
Roy opened his eyes in a flash.
As he stepped forward, his feet trampled on the ground made of flesh and blood. .
Roy looked away in fear.
The earth is made of blood and flesh.
A sea of blood can be seen, and the sky is gray.
“Hey!”
Roy felt as if his breath had stopped.
But he looked away.
Zombies were roaming around, and the skeletal dead were digging the ground.
This place… was purgatory.
‘You’re in the wrong place!’
I was supposed to follow the energy of the holy water, but I relied on my hearing and took a wrong turn.
As Roy broke out in a cold sweat, the dead looked at Roy.
-They are alive.
-They are the souls of the living!
Zombies and skeletons are staggering towards us. .
-Give me that flesh!
-I’m hungry, I’m hungry
! -Give me that body!
The dead are running.
Roy took a step back and ran in a huff.
He entered a forest full of trees that use flesh as fertilizer and blood as nourishment.
Without a single leaf. Roy, who was running around panting there, ended up falling into the lake of blood.
At that moment, the hand of the dead man made of bone stretched out. -Give me
your body!
-Your body…!
-New life…!
Roy was struggling.
‘No, if it continues like this…!’
Your body will be taken away.
If you wake up, your body will be taken away by these dead people.
‘You must wake up!’
Roy gritted his teeth.
I’m sorry to the saint, but I can’t find the Holy Emperor anymore.
This is purgatory.
There’s no way the Holy Emperor’s soul is there.
It was that moment.
– Grab this!
A rope was sent towards Roy, who was struggling. He lost.
Roy was surprised and looked at the person who threw the rope.
It was a skeleton wearing a robe riding on a bone ferry.
-Come on!
The skeleton said urgently.
Roy grabbed the rope.
The skeleton also pulled the rope and threw Roy into the boat. Burned it in.
The hands of the dead that were sticking out of the lake of blood gradually disappeared.
When Roy sighed in relief,
the skeleton gently wrapped Roy.
-You’re lucky, you’re lucky, baby.
Roy felt a strange feeling.
An unfamiliar woman’s voice. Yes,
but for some reason I feel nostalgic.
“Who are you?”
At Roy’s question, the skeleton paused.
It quickly let go of Roy. The skeleton that was looking at Roy appeared to be hesitating as it put both hands together and clasped them neatly. -…Child, what brought you here? Are you talking? This is not a place for the living.
“…”
Roy smiled bitterly.
Is he really the living?
When the refugees saw him, they threw stones at him, calling him a vampire.
He also sucked the blood of vampires. .
If you think about it, he was by no means an ordinary person.
Roy paused and looked at the skeleton.
For some reason, the skeleton in front of him was very cautious towards himself.
His tone of voice and actions were full of caution in case he was scared.
If this was him. Wouldn’t it be trustworthy?
Roy decided to ask for help.
“I’m looking for His Majesty the Holy Emperor.
-Your Majesty the Holy Emperor?
“Yes, Mr. Allen Olfols. He must be in the heavenly world. “Do you know how to get there?”
At those words, the skeleton’s eyes widened as if surprised.
**
“Encamp!”
When Harman drew his sword and shouted, the paladins raised their shields and lined up.
“Priests ready for magic!”
Priests raise their staff and offer prayers.
Seeing them, the mud snake Yort opened its mouth wide and rushed at them.
Charlotte stood in front of Yort.
“Huh!”
She takes a deep breath and raises her shield.
Charlotte’s eyes contain holy power and she understands Yort’s movements.
Mana is vibrating.
Every time she moves, the flow of mana is vividly visible.
She can block it.
Charlotte has a shield . I poured in my holy power.
I jumped up off the ground and swung my shield towards the gap in the mana.
Boom!
The lower jaw of Yort, the mud snake, exploded and the attack bounced off.
As its long body rose, its tail swung and headed towards the Heavenly Army. .
“Everyone prepare for impact!”
Following Harman’s shout, the Paladins bent down and supported the ground.
They raised their shields and injected holy power to parry at the same time.
Boom!
Dozens of Paladins were pushed back and vomited blood.
Their tails flailed and bounced.
Yort screamed and opened its mouth.
Sand gathered inside its body.
The sand coalesced and formed a huge rock that spewed out through the mouth.
“Avoid!”
As the Paladins split to the left and right and dodged the boulders, Yort’s tail struck once again.
“Parry…!”
Harman shouted, but it was already too late.
He raised his shield and tried to inject holy power, but the paladins were caught in the snake’s tail and turned into minced meat.
Those around them floated in the air.
“Damn it, Yuria, what should I do!”
“I’m doing it!”
As Grill shouted, Yuria raised the crossbow and aimed.
It fired a bolt filled with holy power and pierced Yort’s body, but did not inflict any fatal wounds.
“If only I had a musket…!”
Yuria reloads the crossbow again.
As Yort’s tail flies towards her, Edolf grabs Yuria and narrowly avoids the tail. Yort
glares at Charlotte.
A small bug or something is blocking and dodging his attack. .
This is why he couldn’t carry out Urgar’s orders.
Yort flicked his earthen tongue and turned his gaze towards the refugee camp.
Among them, a large barracks.
The place protected by the paladins.
That’s it.
Urgar gave the order. The place where the monster that landed is sleeping.
If you aim for that place…!
Yort buries its head in the ground.
A tunnel is dug quickly.
When Charlotte and Harmon Edolf and the others stop, Yort rises right under the refugee camp.
Wind pressure . The tent is lifted.
Lawrence is scared and wraps his arms around Roy.
The other priests freeze.
Ellis is startled and wraps his arms around Allen.
When Yort opens his mouth and tries to crush the barracks.
“…Magic Legion.”
Yort stopped. He turned his head.
There were people riding horses through the forest.
Wizards wearing robes and holding staffs.
They were also wizards from Irans.
“Unleash magic.”
According to the flow of mana, a magic circle is created around Yort.
Yort widened his eyes and glared at the person approaching at the head of the wizards.
“Gravity magic. Perform!”
Boom!
The space distorted and Yort’s body became heavy.
Yort’s body fell flat on the ground.
-Kiaaaaa!
When Yort screamed, the robe of the man who was riding in the lead on horseback was taken off.
At the same time . Swords made of light are summoned to the sky.
The man shouts,
“I’ve seen you before.” White
Airans, the crown prince of the Holy Emperor and the king of the fallen Kingdom of Airans
.
“You monster who destroyed my country!”
He jumps:
“Gaia, with your might!”
He holds the sword of light and prays,
“Please pierce that evil snake!”
White shouted and slashed the sword of light towards the jort frame.
