Holy Emperor’s Grandson is a Necromancer - Chapter 4

Episode 4. The prince digs graves.

====================

[Summon a sacred pool.]

The ground is shaking.

Drops of water rise rapidly on the dry land where there was nothing.

The water gradually rose around the shovel, creating a small puddle.

and···.

Take a picture!

Dozens of zombie rats that had stepped through the puddle melted.

The body that had been preserved by deep magical energy disappeared.

The zombie rat slowly seeped into the puddle and disappeared, leaving only its bones behind.

“oh my god···.”

The two farmers looked surprised.

They came up to me and looked at the zombie rats that had dissolved into the puddle of water.

“I have heard that priests fly in the sky and even save the dying…”

“I had no idea it would have this much power. I heard that he could cut rocks by swinging a stick, and that was true. “Can you beat up zombies while scattering light?”

What kind of martial arts novel have you seen?

How does a priest do that?

Well, since they were rural people, they had no contact with priests.

Sometimes there is a time once a year when a large number of undead come down from the Land of the Dead, but at that time, they will live safely in a nearby territory, so you will not be able to see what power the priest uses.

I also haven’t seen any priests here, but I think it’s at least not at the level they said.

At best, he will use magic using the same level of holy power as me.

I lifted the shovel and slung it over my shoulder.

[Swamp of Death].

It is a skill that creates a puddle of magical power to suck out the opponent’s life force and kill them.

Now it has been transformed into a skill that summons a pool of holy water.

however···.

“ah···. anemia···.”

My body was shaking.

I think about it every time, but the amount of sexual power consumed to use a skill is not a joke.

I had to learn how to control my power, but I don’t even know how to control my spiritual power based on necromancy.

“Still, the power is amazing.”

I never dreamed that it would even melt the skin of the undead.

I dipped my hand into the puddle of holy water that formed under my feet and smelled it.

It is a unique water with a fragrant scent. Even if you drink it, it will not cause any harm to the human body.

Holy water.

Its efficacy is excellent for treating diseases and promoting health as a natural treatment.

It’s different from the ones made in churches or monasteries where priests pray and are given holy powers, but that’s part of it.

“It’s a hassle to baptize them one by one.”

I pointed to the pool of holy water with my finger.

“Please share this with other villages. It would be appropriate to distribute it to the size of one index finger. “If you drink it, you will be completely cured of the plague.”

In fact, it has never been tested on humans.

If the two farmers were blessed and were fine, this holy water would definitely do its job.

“Do you mean to drink this?”

The farmers looked at the pool of holy water.

Foreign substances are visible among water that appears clear and clean.

It was the melted flesh and bones of zombie rats that had gnawed on the corpse.

“I guess now isn’t the time to discuss hot or cold food, right? Do you want to live a thin and short life due to the plague? Or do you want to drink this and live long and thin?”

“I will share it with you.”

Of course it should be. Or I’m in trouble. It is unlikely that the plague will spread any further than this.

I’m probably going crazy because of the workload.

“But why were the zombies gathered only in that house?”

I looked at the house that was overrun with zombies.

The house itself appears to have been constantly gnawed by zombie rats, with only its bare bones remaining.

I entered the house and looked down.

There is a small gap visible in the floor.

I hit the shovel down towards that place, made a hole, and inserted the blade of the shovel.

When I pressed down on the shovel handle like a crowbar, the board on the floor broke.

At the same time, a black shadow jumped out.

A bright red girl stained with blood, flashing a sharp kitchen knife, pressed down on my shoulder.

There was a sound of my shoulder muscles being crushed.

Blood-red eyes as cold as ice looked down at me.

She slashed down the kitchen knife she was holding without a moment of hesitation.

The blade shook right in front of my nose.

They entered into a struggle of strength, barely able to block the kitchen knife with the shovel.

“I thought it was just a ruined town.”

I smiled weakly and glared at the blood-stained girl in front of me, about 15 years old.

There was a crazy survivor.

That’s a really crazy bitch.

The girl appears to have stabbed and bitten a zombie rat, with sparse patches of mouse fur and flesh on it.

On the contrary, the girl’s body also had pitted wounds everywhere, as if she had been bitten by a zombie rat.

The girl’s eyes were shaking frantically.

My eyes are cloudy. It was safe to say that it was lifeless.

This guy is out of his mind.

Could it be that they thought I was a zombie and attacked me?

“You are making a mistake now. “Get out of the way quickly before the pot breaks.”

A cold sweat broke out. My whole body felt weak and trembled. The kitchen knife gradually narrowed in between my eyes.

If things continue like this, I think the kitchen knife will go from stabbing me between the eyes to piercing my skull.

“I think I have a bit of a fever…”

It’s a girl of the same age. Still, I was proud that I had strengthened my muscles by moving corpses and shoveling, but my pride was hurt by the fact that I was pushed out by this girl.

“Cool your head!”

I swung the shovel as hard as I could and knocked the kitchen knife away. He then hit the girl on the head with a shovel.

Kwasik!

A terrible sound rang out and the girl fell into a corner of the house.

I barely got up and touched my face.

It was so lifelike that it felt like my face was being pierced.

After confirming that there were no injuries on her face, I turned my head and looked at the girl.

The girl who had fallen on the floor is glaring fiercely. Next to the girl, two corpses covered with cloth were seen.

My mouth twitched at that sight.

“oh my god.”

Two torn bodies.

They appear to be adult men and women. There are mouse bite marks, but there are also several small cuts.

That girl killed her parents who had become zombies.

And he probably hid under the floor and fought to the death with zombie rats.

“What’s going on? “Prince!”

These guys will find you quickly.

Two farmers came running hurriedly.

The two were shocked and shouted as they saw the girl covered in blood.

“shallot! Oh Goddess Gaia. oh my god!”

I said dissatisfiedly while looking at those two.

“You said there were no survivors?”

“That wasn’t there when we were there.”

It’s not that it wasn’t there, it’s that I couldn’t find it.

I said, holding my stiff shoulder.

“How long has it been since you left the village?”

“About a week. However, it came 3 days ago. “At that time, the entire village was already…”

“You mean you lasted at least 3 days?”

The girl obviously couldn’t sleep or eat proper water or food.

They probably endured starvation and starvation by eating the blood and flesh of zombie rats.

The zombie rats, sensing the girl’s vitality, must have gathered to eat her.

The will to live is amazing.

The two farmers looked at the girl’s head.

The girl screamed as blood flowed from her head.

Hitting it with a shovel must have been quite a shock.

“Don’t make a fuss. “Because he’s still alive.”

I grabbed the girl by her collar and forcibly dragged her away.

“Prince Hua, what…!”

The girl was thrown into a pool of holy water.

After being drenched in cold water, the girl faintly opened her eyes, as if she had come to her senses.

“drink.”

The farmer came up panting and said.

“He’s still a kid! “The wounds are deep, but if you treat me so roughly…”

“You’re so young. He’s the same age as me. furthermore···.”

I pointed to the front.

“Even if it was a mistake, he was the one who tried to kill me. “There’s no need to be kind to a guy like that.”

“but···.”

“Hey Kid.”

The girl rolled her eyes and looked at me.

“Drink.”

“…”

I said, squatting down.

“I’ll be honest. Your body is not normal right now. It eats a zombie rat, and its magical power and venom spread throughout its body. The bleeding is also severe. If things continue like this, you will suffer from high fever and become a zombie.”

This girl was so close to death.

As soon as you stop breathing, you will become undead.

I pointed to the holy water pool.

“But I don’t know what will happen if you drink this.”

Honestly, it’s a gamble.

If you forcibly inject sexual power into something that has absorbed magical power, the body may swell and explode as a result of rejection.

“At least you won’t become a zombie. I wonder if the survival rate will be 10% or not. Now decide. Will I suffer pain and become a zombie, or will I struggle to survive somehow?”

The reaction of holy power and magical power could be known by looking at the books in the monastery’s old books.

I don’t know if it was due to the nature of my job or the level of knowledge my body originally possessed, but I had no trouble studying magic books.

I looked down at the girl.

The girl cried and opened her mouth.

“mom···. mind···.”

“doesn’t exist. “Not here.”

“ah···. bar···.”

“doesn’t exist. “It’s not here.”

Dew flowed from the corners of the girl’s eyes. He showed no intention of drinking the holy water.

Should I give up?

“You fought so hard because you wanted to live. “Didn’t you hold on to survive?”

“…”

“Do you want to live? It’s simple. “All you have to do is drink it.”

“…”

“Of course, the chances of survival are slim. But it doesn’t make you a zombie. There’s no need to die twice if you’re going to die once. and···.”

I looked down at the girl and said.

“At least the two people who aren’t here would have wanted you to live.”

I guess that’s the keyword that moves him.

The girl moved.

I move my head with difficulty and bury it in a puddle of holy water. I opened my mouth, stuck out my trembling tongue, and licked the holy water.

The moment the holy water entered her throat, the girl’s body convulsed.

“Aaaahhh!”

Suddenly, my bones break. There was the sound of muscles being crushed and skin being torn.

The girl’s scream pierced my ears.

It was so terrible that I frowned without realizing it.

Would you go crazy if you bought this?

“What…!”

As the farmers approached, I stopped them.

Now the girl becomes one of two things.

Either you survive and become a living person, or your body explodes and you become a corpse.

The skin was torn and blood was flowing out. Every time I struggled, I was healed again by the holy water on the floor.

The skin burned off and new skin grew. The bones split and came back together again and again.

If there is such a thing as a complete transformation in martial arts, wouldn’t it be something like that?

I kept the shovel in the ground and watched her silently, thinking nonsense thoughts.

5 minutes 10 minutes 30 minutes 1 hour.

The terrible screams slowly disappeared.

The convulsing girl fell into a puddle of holy water and closed her eyes.

It’s faint, but he’s breathing.

“Hey! “I lived.”

thank god.

It hurts when a young person dies.

I looked at the two farmers and said.

“Take him.”

“yes?”

“He said he was from your village.”

“Yes, that is true. But the child with the plague…”

These guys are so awesome. What was that face you were worried about earlier? performance? hypocrisy?

When I looked at them clearly, the two farmers broke into a cold sweat.

“I will tell the people in the neighboring village.”

“good. And like I said before, we distribute holy water.”

“You mean this?”

The two farmers looked at the puddle of holy water that caused the girl’s seizure and their complexions turned blue.

It must have been reminiscent of the seizure the girl had a little while ago.

“That’s because that kid swallowed magic power. Or maybe there are people in other villages who eat zombies? “Hey, you guys are nice too.”

“That’s not it.”

The two farmers shook their heads left and right.

“Then there are no side effects. Stop the plague as quickly as possible.”

I said that and stood up.

He pulled out the shovel he had buried and draped it over his shoulder.

“Oh, I set up a lot of mouse traps. It looks like zombie rats are biting and spreading the plague. It may not be one or two, but hundreds… Ugh.”

Imagine hundreds of fast-moving zombie rats rushing towards you. I can’t afford it.

“Reduce the number even a little. Also, I reported this situation to Ronia, a nearby territory. If you were a lord, you would send a priest to investigate the cause of the plague. Could it be that you would stay quiet when the plague spread to the place where the grandson of the Holy Emperor is?”

“All right.”

“good!”

This is it.

There is no need to go through the labor of shoveling and carrying corpses for funerals.

Since we have created holy water, we can easily prevent the plague that is spreading this year.

With this, a peaceful daily life will come.

That’s what I thought.

That is, until hundreds of villagers came to the monastery the next day.

Is it to say thank you for sharing the holy water?

no.

“Prince Hua, please save us!”

“There are zombies in our village…!”

Looks like I need to make a zombie movie.
