Holy Emperor’s Grandson is a Necromancer - Chapter 25
Episode 25. Merry Christmas!
==================
* *
Blood is sprayed. The flesh is split.
Farm equipment cut up the body.
Charlotte and Grill were fighting near the outer wall with the villagers.
Soldiers and prisoners and undead are intertwined.
But there was no fear.
The emotional ups and downs of the atmosphere drove out the fear.
Charlotte, who had been working until dawn carrying equipment, was near the exterior wall with the grill.
Grill grabbed farming tools and climbed over the outer wall and soldiers to cut down the undead who were trying to enter the territory along with the villagers.
“You bastard! You bastard! “You bastard!”
Grill hacked at the fallen undead and swung his farming tool at the approaching horde of zombies.
“ha ha ha!”
Grill was smiling.
These are soldiers who cheer in victory even though they are in battle. Under its influence, it seemed as if he had forgotten his fears.
Charlotte looked at the cart carrying the equipment.
It contains a steel shield and sword.
Grill said as she was about to grab her shield and sword.
“Charlotte, it’s dangerous, stay back! “I will protect you!”
Grill took care of Charlotte, who he accepted as his adopted daughter.
Not only was he responsible for her, but it was also because he was actually treating her as his daughter.
Charlotte smiled bitterly.
The grill where you fight off the zombie horde was very sloppy. I just hope you don’t get hurt by overexerting yourself.
“It’s a vampire…!”
“Protect the prince!”
Charlotte reacted to being called a prince.
I turned my gaze to see the giant entering the outer wall and trampling on the soldiers.
Height alone is over 3m.
It radiated magical power from its hands and swept around the soldiers.
-You were there. priest! I will pay you back for the humiliation I suffered!
The vampire saw something and said.
His face was distorted hideously with anger.
The vampire discovered the ‘prince’ from a high eye level.
“vampire···!”
An angry voice was heard.
Paladin Harman stood in front of the vampire and stood in front of him.
The sword filled with holy power was swung and the grips filled with magical power collided.
An explosion occurred due to conflicting forces.
Harmon was thrown out and hit the outside wall, letting out a groan.
Still, he did not let go of his gaze on the vampire.
I gritted my teeth and rushed forward tenaciously.
A sword made of holy power cut into the flesh of the vampire’s leg.
The vampire stumbled and glared at Harman.
-This guy…! What are they doing? Get rid of this guy!
At the vampire’s words, dozens of Dullahan broke through the soldiers.
Dullahan, pierced by spear and sword arrows, swung his sword and tied the feet of Paladin Harman.
Harmon looked away.
“Viscount Gerald!”
Jennold, who was breathing heavily and struggling among the zombies, responded to Harmon’s shout.
He turned his weary gaze to Harmon.
“The prince is in danger!”
Only then did Gerald look away.
A vampire is passing through an army, targeting someone.
“Knights, protect the prince!”
The knights moved at the words of Lord Gerald.
I pushed the undead away and quickly approached the vampire.
but···.
–Insignificant insects…!
The Vampire Count took a breath.
My neck and cheeks swell like a bullfrog.
Red magical power was visible through the thick leather, and he spat it out.
The breath of death swept over the knights, soldiers, and prisoners.
ㅡHuuuuuu….!
The body is rotting away.
Soldiers who died instantly become undead and cry out.
Seeing that, the vampire count held his stomach and burst into laughter.
There were only two places where he passed.
One was a piece of meat and the other was an undead who would serve him.
When the Vampire Count was satisfied with his work, a bullet filled with holy power flew towards the Vampire Count.
The protective shield made of magic shattered and scattered in all directions.
The vampire’s smile disappeared.
When the terrible tragedy that occurred a few days ago came to mind, he quickly turned his head.
ㅡ···This guy!
A priest holding a musket was running into the compound.
The knights camped in front as if to protect him.
He fixes a large steel shield to the ground and raises his spear.
“I can’t go any further! vampire!”
-You guys are funny!
The vampire count moved.
The other guys are nothing to worry about. But that priest was quite annoying.
It is a bullet of holy power that can pierce a shield made of magical power.
It will be dangerous if we leave it as is!
The vampire jumped up his massive body. He trampled on the knights blocking his way.
And then he waddled towards where the prince was.
Charlotte, who was watching this from afar, gritted her teeth.
The prince is in danger.
She lifted the shield and sword from the cart.
“Sha Charlotte?”
As Charlotte ran into the alley, Grill looked at Charlotte and the collapsed exterior wall in confusion.
Then he took his farming tools and followed in a huff.
* *
“Prince Hua, run away!”
The knights shouted and blocked the vampire’s path.
A vampire approaches with sparkling eyes.
OMG, be scared!
I quickly put the musket on my shoulder and ran into the compound. Then I glanced back.
An explosion occurred and the knights floated into the air.
He is trampled by the vampire’s feet, grabbed by the hand, and has his head torn off.
And among the knights who died, if only their heads were still intact, they became zombies and scattered in all directions.
These are terrible scenes that can only be seen in horror movies.
“If you get caught, will you die like that?”
Still, it would be impossible to run with that body.
If you go into a narrow alley, you might be able to get away.
Moreover, it is not difficult to block the remaining 10,000 undead when the vampires disappear from the collapsed outer wall.
If we can lure this commander well, we will win.
I immediately entered a narrow alley.
And then I looked back.
“…Damn it!”
A vampire destroys an entire house.
The heavy body approaches like a bulldozer, destroying everything in its path.
I thought it wouldn’t be able to run, but the space between its feet is wide, so it’s chasing after me at a fairly fast speed.
A muscular monster with blood all over its body.
There are no monsters.
“Gaia. “I will pierce the dead…”
As I breathed into the musket and prayed to God, my back felt cold.
When I looked up, the roof of the house was flying off.
“ah···.”
I reflexively turned to the next alley.
The roof of the house in front of and where I was a moment ago is swept away, blocking the alley.
I raised my head.
A huge head is visible, clutching the corner of a building in an alley.
The corners of his mouth turned up on his thick face.
-What a rat!
…What a fucking monster.
I quickly got up and ran again.
The other person seemed to be sensitive about ‘sexual power’.
As he was reciting prayers and gathering holy power, the roof of the house was blown off.
At least, if you add 1 minute of prayer to gather holy power to make bullets, it takes about 30 more seconds.
If I try to get even one punch, I will end up getting hurt.
Can not help it. Now that things are like this, the best thing to do is to run away and take the time until relief forces arrive…
In an instant, a shadow fell over my head.
-I’ll turn you into ashes!
A vampire is floating in the air.
He spread his hands out, looked down at me, and took a breath.
Even the sky… can it fly?
that···. That one you saw a little while ago? Is it breath?
My face turned white.
There was no way for me to stop that.
-Become a dead man!
It breathed out the breath of death.
Red breath, like a huge flame, flew into an alley with nowhere to escape.
At that moment, someone came out from behind.
It puts pressure on my shoulders. And blocking the way, he raises a steel shield that is much larger than his slender body.
“…shallot?”
Her eyes are as sharp as a snake.
Step on the ground with all your might. The ground breaks apart.
Place the blade into the ground and secure the handle to the shield.
Veins sprouted from his thin arms.
“Aaaah!”
At some point, Grill also jumped out of the alley and grabbed a shield along with Charlotte.
When I saw that, I reflexively supported them.
The breath of death struck the steel shield.
It pushes back with a heavy feeling.
Starting from the fingertips, the entire body began to rot little by little.
“Wow…!”
Charlotte and Grill fell silent.
Can’t stop it.
I can feel the shield melting.
That’s right…!
I grabbed my shield.
“Do your best to stop it!”
[Activates divine power.]
[Temporarily strengthens equipment.]
A pattern like blood vessels appeared on the shield, and holy power lingered around.
Enhancing equipment? I can’t survive with this…!
“Gaia…!”
The shallots, the grill, and my hands are turning black.
“Give me the strength to protect the poor little lambs…”
Holy power radiates out.
Holy power seeps into the shallots, the grill, and my body.
The body that supported it decays and regenerates repeatedly.
“Please guide believers by showing love and mercy.”
Holy power gathers.
On the contrary, it feels like the sexual power in the body is being depleted.
“Please protect me by giving me a shield to block the dead with your power.”
A crack appears in the shield.
“Your believer Allen Allpoles prays!”
The shield breaks.
At the same time, a shield made of holy power was placed.
The conflicting qualities of holy power and magical power collided.
The vampire count’s eyes widened as he let out a deathly breath.
-Oh no…!
An explosion occurred.
The surrounding buildings were pushed away and destroyed.
The vampire’s mouth, which was breathing deathly air, is torn apart.
The shield made of magical power breaks and the heavy body falls.
The narrow alley spread out like a vacant lot.
“…”
The sacred shield that surrounded me and Charlotte Grill eventually couldn’t bear it anymore and shattered and disappeared.
I have no strength in my legs.
I almost collapsed, but Charlotte helped me up with her eyes wide open.
“are you okay?”
It can’t be okay…
I don’t even have the energy to stand up now.
Moreover, it feels like my bones have been crushed.
I glanced to the side.
The grill is broken and he is passed out.
I can’t be that envious of that.
I also wanted to fall asleep like that…
Ah… Argh…!
The Vampire Count is still alive.
His whole body is swollen and bursting like a tumor. He was rolling around in agony from the flames.
“Seongsu…”
I tried to summon holy water from the item window, but I did not have the strength to hold it, so I dropped it.
Charlotte picked it up and slowly brought it to her mouth.
Drink holy water.
The body recovers to some extent. Although I am now able to move, my body’s sexual power is at an all-time low.
Now, no matter how much I pray or anything, I can’t use the skill.
It would be best to run away before the vampire recovers.
Honestly, I wish the soldiers would come at this point.
If I’m not in this state right now, I won’t stop killing vampires.
“Let’s step back. “Is there a risk if we continue like this?”
I said that and was about to step back when something stepped on my foot.
I looked at the ‘skull’ that had fallen right next to me with a strange energy.
The skull of a goat, a sheep symbolizing the devil, is there.
It is so large that it looks like a helmet covering the face.
The vampire was wearing it as a ‘necklace’.
Why is this here…? Was it thrown away by an explosion?
Quite a strange feeling. It’s not an ordinary bone.
“Magic···. “Is it even an item?”
I used [Mind’s Eye].
The mind’s eye cannot react to ordinary objects.
But what if it’s an object that contains magic?
[Skull of Demon King Amon.
Ability: Minimum magical power amplification of 20% to 200% and 10% recovery effect depending on the user’s standards. All abilities related to magical power increase by 10%.]
The results are out.
When I saw that, I was speechless.
Magic power amplified by 20~200%? 10% recovery? Additionally, all skill abilities increase by 10%.
It is truly a legendary item.
horsepower? Am I not able to use it?
However, for an item powered by magic, there is no resistance to it.
I gently pushed Charlotte away and lifted her by the skull as if possessed.
Even if I try my best to raise my remaining Holy Power to just a tiny level, I can’t use a single skill.
I used [Sacred Energy] to strengthen Amon’s skull.
[Temporarily strengthens the equipment.]
[Temporarily strengthened skull of Amon, the Demon King.
Ability: Depending on the user’s standards, minimum magic power is amplified by 40% to 400% and recovery amount is increased by 20%. All abilities related to magical power increase by 15%. Able to summon the Demon’s Armor.]
I am amazed.
I touched the King of Death’s skull.
I think I know how to use this item, perhaps because of [Spiritual].
There is a kind of ‘starter word’.
I moved my body instinctively.
I tilted my head wearing a mountain goat’s skull.
“I am a legionnaire.”
Then he said as he looked at the vampire count who stood up hesitantly.
“He is the successor of Gaia.”
