Holy Emperor’s Grandson is a Necromancer - Chapter 50

Episode 50 〈 The Prince Hunts Santa. (This is the paid part.) 〉

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

After two weeks of preparation, I got into the carriage with Harmon.

About 10 days have passed since we departed for Humite.

Harmon held out a document in the rickety carriage.

“It’s a fake identity. With the help of Lord Gerald, he created an adopted sonship. Also, it seems that Luan was considerate so that we could have a little fun.”

Harmon handed me the documents.

“This is the academy’s transfer document. If you are a student, the Black Church will not suspect you either. “He spent a little bit of his school days while taking on a mission there…”

“You did something useless. “I’m a student, so as long as I know where they are, it will be over quickly.”

I stuck my tongue out.

What I wanted was access to the library and things related to the Necromancer’s books being managed.

Harmon opened the window.

It’s a dark night. Without the lantern, I wouldn’t have been able to distinguish anything around me.

Meanwhile, I could see the city center with lights down the hill in the distance.

“It will arrive sometime tonight. But is it really okay to not have an escort?”

Currently, this carriage has no escort.

He had asked Luan to allow him to act freely in Humite.

“doesn’t care. You know that. “My abilities.”

Harmon is someone who knows my abilities. It seems like he was so quiet that he didn’t say anything to others.

It was a bit surprising that he didn’t even report to the prosperous Celt.

“Besides, it’s more comfortable when no one is watching.”

“But the prince’s safety…”

“Then I ask. The Vampire Count of Ronia and the Black Order. “Comparatively speaking, who is stronger?”

“…Even if the Black Church attacked as a group, they wouldn’t be able to inflict even a single wound on the Vampire Count.”

“That’s it then.”

I said that and read the document.

Seonghwang himself came forward and provided the data.

Incidents and accidents committed by the Black Church.

They committed all kinds of crimes, such as destroying villages, murdering people, and kidnapping children.

But these are very small things that reach the level of a ‘village’.

He didn’t have the talent to hide in the imperial palace like a vampire, but he didn’t have the power to shake an entire territory like a lycan.

In the end, it was nothing more than a ‘minnow’.

I was surprised that these guys even targeted me.

Still, it was somewhat helpful.

They have considerable ‘magical knowledge’.

They risked their lives to study magic, as it cost them their lives. They will also have valuable books and items.

“Harman.’’

“Yes, Prince.”

“If you’re a villain, you can do anything, right?”

The Emperor himself granted the authority of ‘heresy inquisitor’.

Since it was his decree, no one could stop me without the consent of at least three archbishops.

Since they are villains, it is up to me whether I eat them roasted or boiled.

“Do you know that your expression resembles His Majesty Seonghwang?”

Harmon, who was sitting across from me, looked fed up.

I was startled and touched my mouth.

Before I knew it, I was smiling.

“There’s no way I’m the same as my grandfather.”

“No, I’m just like him.”

“…”

I said, tasting my mouth,

“But what is this?”

I handed one of the materials to Harmon.

He took it and said,

“It’s the Red Devil.”

Red Devil?

“Why isn’t there one? The story is that if there is a bad child, the Red Devil will catch him.”

“Is it like a fairy tale?”

“It actually exists. It is said that it has a chubby body, a bushy beard, red clothes, and carries a sack on its back while riding on the roof.”

“…”

Isn’t that just Santa?

A kidnapping of Santa Claus?

It’s like something out of a horror movie.

“This world is strange. Christmas is Halloween, and Santa appears in the spring.”

“He is actually a familiar of the Black Church.”

It is a being created by luring all kinds of zombies.

It is an evolved form of a ghoul and has considerable skills.

“It is surprisingly strong.”

“What if you deal with me?”

“Of course I win.”

Harmon raised his neck proudly.

“The problem is how to find these guys. They are excellent at hiding their presence. Even a skilled paladin can easily miss them if they can’t see them right in front of them.”

So, are we using the Red Devil?

The one we’re dealing with is a necromancer.

As a wizard, they’re just a bunch of trash people. They won’t come out in person.

But can they smell it?

Well, that might be difficult, too. They’re undead.

The reverberation of vibrating magic power. You can take care of it, but if it was a human, you had to use the [Mind’s Eye] to check it.

Just looking at the Morgana incident, you couldn’t find it without the [Mind’s Eye]

. You couldn’t check each person in the city.

So, you had to throw a bait.

“Bait… ..”

We need something that the corner bastards will crave.

The ages of the kidnapped children range from 10 to 16.

Even if you kidnap them, you can’t even use them as bait.

I blinked.

Come to think of it, this year’s How old are you?

I’m 16 this year.

Then…

“Perhaps.”

“How would you feel if there were no guards around and a 16-year-old boy was standing alone?”

Harmon’s eyes widened at my words.

“As a kidnapper, wouldn’t you be so greedy?”

I laughed heartily.

* *

I had to get to Humite City late in the morning.

I got off the carriage in this place without separate walls. I

walked the streets to feel like a normal trip.

It was late at night. In a normal city center, I would be a traveler or adventurer. People should be walking and bright lights should be shining on the streets. But now there were no people and it was quiet.

Soldiers who looked like guards were much more noticeable.

This was because people were reluctant to come out on the streets these days due to the appearance of the Red Devil.

Because of Harmon’s outfit. The security guard let me go after a light conversation.

As I was passing through the city center, I saw a poster posted on the street.

[Beware of the Red Devil! If anything happens to the children, report it to the security guard immediately.]

There was a warning with a red picture.

Next to it, there are pictures of parents struggling to make faces with the phrase “looking for their children.”

The poster looks quite scary.

I lost my appetite. I looked at the phrase “looking for the children” out of pity, and then looked at the picture of the red devil again. I looked.

No matter how I looked, it was Santa.

His body, his beard, his handle, everything.

At that time, my nose started to tingle.

My eyes naturally returned. There

was something running, casting a shadow in the moonlight on the roof.

I used my holy power to improve my vision. Enhanced.

A being with a chubby body and a squirming mouth wearing a large red hat. A red devil is running around holding a wriggling sack.

There are also two of them.

They are Santa Clauses who move nimbly compared to their chubby bodies.

“Oh my god!”

Even though I was looking with my own two eyes, there was no presence

. They were dressed in red and conspicuous clothes. Even so, I was not aware of their presence.

It seemed like a being that was impossible to ‘recognize’.

It must be some kind of magic that blocks vision and hides the presence.

They . Was this the reason why you couldn’t catch it?

If it wasn’t for the smell, you wouldn’t have found it even though you were walking on the roof.

“Harman.’’

“Yes.”

“excuse me.”

I pointed my finger at Santa.

Only then did Harmon notice.

He drew his sword.

“Notify the security. And you catch one.”

“Together…”

“The safety of the people is the top priority. “It’s not like you don’t trust me, right?”

“…”

I looked at Harmon.

“We also caught the progenitor vampire and lycan. You won’t get hurt by a minnow like that. Catch both. “If there is a child in the sack, save it.”

“I understand.”

I summoned a musket.

I strengthened my body and moved my feet. I ran

down the street at high speed and entered an alley.

I caught the scent of an opponent who had escaped my sight and chased him.

Then I looked at the roof of a residential area in the alley.

Santa had a fat body. He groaned and jumped down the chimney.

“Crazy…!”

Isn’t that really Santa? I’m not going to stop him from giving a gift to a good child, right?

I ran straight to the residential area. At the same time, I injected my holy power into it.

I kicked the door .

I heard a scream.

I took the stairs to the second floor.

Then I looked at Santa standing at the fireplace connected to the chimney.

He was holding a large machete in his hand.

Blood was dripping.

In front of him, an adult man and a woman were lying down.

A child caught in the sack he was carrying was screaming and resisting. Yes.

Even after that, the sound quieted down after a while.

It was a sound-blocking spell.

Santa’s gaze returned.

It was chubby cheeks. But it was a hideously distorted and rotten face.

The eyes rolled and sharp teeth appeared through the torn mouth.

-Kklik kklik?

He let out an undead-like voice and tilted his head.

He then bent his body and lunged at me. I

dodged the machete swing. I lowered

my head and aimed the musket at the guy’s head and pulled the trigger. His head exploded.

The guy fell to his knees. I knelt down and fell forward.

“Whew…”

I sighed in relief and took off the sack.

A boy was hugged by me, crying.

“Are you okay?”

I patted the child’s head and quickly covered his eyes.

I looked away. I looked at my dead parents.

“…”

He became a zombie and stood up.

If this is the case… Resurrection cannot be used.

I blindfolded the child and summoned a shovel from the item window.

…..

…

..

The parents died and the child burst into tears.

I covered the child with a blanket. After some time, the guards came with Harmon.

It looks like the other Santa’s side has also been dealt with.

I took over Santa’s two bodies.

“Sure…”

I looked at Santa.

A zombie we’ve never seen before, was fast and had great strength. It also has a special ability that completely blocks presence.

It seems like it was made for assassination or some sort of cleanup.

Coming here was the right answer.

The necromancer group knows how to summon larger amounts of undead.

I looked away.

Guards took over the parents’ bodies. The child clung to the corpses of his parents and burst into tears.

“What happens to that child?”

“You will be sent to an orphanage.”

I bit my lower lip without realizing it.

“…I’m going to be amazed. Bastards. Let’s finish this quickly. “Get a report of what has happened so far from the security guard.”

I am a transfer student, but Harman is a paladin.

It wouldn’t be difficult to get a report from the guards.

I lifted Santa’s body and placed it in the item window.

It was well worth researching.

The undead they used.

Now it’s my turn to use it myself and give it back to them.

* *

A village on the outskirts of Humite.

There were about a dozen Golden Crosses in the felled forest.

He wore golden armor and raised his sword sheath.

They struck the sheath of their swords at Charlotte.

Charlotte defended herself by strengthening her body with holy power. I took out the sheath. But I was turned on my back.

I was hit and bleeding.

she moaned.

He gritted his teeth and swung his sword.

Three members of the Golden Cross fell to the ground, bleeding.

Another Golden Cross member took them in and treated them.

Oscar was shocked.

“excellent! “I don’t know how the Holy Family saved such a monster.”

Charlotte took a deep breath and looked at Oscar.

“But it’s still not enough. At that level, I can’t protect the Holy Family from monsters.”

He stood up and

went out holding a sword with a white scabbard.

The intensity of training became more intense.

During the day, I went to the academy and studied liberal arts. At night, I received the Golden Cross and the Golden Cross. She improved her skills through sparring.

On a rainy day, she vomited blood.

She forced herself up from the ground.

Looking at her like that, Oscar said,

“Are you going to give up? You can throw away your sword and live as a country girl. That’s better. “You will be happier.”

“I don’t like it…”

I hated it.

I had a goal.

To become stronger. And to protect Him.

That was the driving force that drove me.

Oscar smiled with satisfaction.

“Yes. That’s how it should be.”

Oscar lifted the white sword sheath and swung it at Charlotte.

Charlotte dodged the sword sheath and rushed at Oscar.

Charlotte’s sword collided with Oscar’s sword sheath.

Oscar was impressed.

“You will grow up. A little more. To become a prosperous family.” Build strength!”

Charlotte gritted her teeth. It

was nonsense. She

didn’t care about the success of the family.

There was only one thing she wanted. The one

who saved her at the funeral of her parents, the benefactor who even saved her life.

Allen Allpoles.

She just wanted to be with him.

She He gritted his teeth and swung his sword.
