Holy Emperor’s Grandson is a Necromancer - Chapter 61

Episode 61 〈Angel of Death. 〉

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

The enthusiasm of the citizens in Humite heated up.

After the military parade, various sports began.

Students who learned magic played fancy chess, and those who learned swords sparred in front of everyone.

Citizens also participated in various competitions and won prizes.

Citizens enjoyed such festivals, forgot their anxieties about the war, and had a good time.

Charlotte, who was looking at that scene, looked away.

As she sat on the bench to participate in the game, she saw a large box sitting next to her.

It was a gift that Oscar wanted to deliver through Harmon.

Charlotte sat on the bench and opened the large box. Her eyes widened.

It is a white female armor.

It contains plate covering the chest and clothing that appears to be made of monster leather.

It’s like armor made with maximum efficiency in mind.

As she was looking at it, Harmon came up to her and said.

“This is dwarven armor made in Hilda’s territory. It seems that as soon as he met you, His Majesty the Holy Emperor personally ordered it to be made.”

“Such a precious thing…”

Charlotte caressed the armor.

“That must mean that the Holy Emperor’s family considers you a valuable talent.”

“…”

Charlotte was embarrassed, because

what she was serving was not a prosperous family.

Harmon also knew what she was thinking, so he opened his mouth.

“They know what you want to do. So don’t feel pressured.”

“thank you.”

“…In reality, you are already much higher in rank than me for me to give you advice.”

Charlotte smiled wryly and said,

“Can I try it on?”

“There is a waiting room nearby. You can change there and show it to the prince later. He will be happy.”

At those words, a smile spread across Charlotte’s lips.

Charlotte lifted the seemingly heavy box and headed to the waiting room with light steps.

Harmon smiled bitterly as he looked at that.

A girl much younger than him was his superior…

That didn’t really bother him, but what mattered was Charlotte’s status.

There is no turning back.

If this becomes known, there will be nothing to say even if the three clans are destroyed for deceiving the royal family.

Harmon touched his forehead.

‘If His Majesty the Holy Emperor knew about Charlotte, I’m a loser.’

Harmon decided to keep this fact a secret until the grave.

***

The citizens burst into laughter.

Those who participated in the marathon ran down the road panting.

One of them got tired and stopped running.

“Oh, I give up! I can’t do this anymore. Phew…”

He sat down on the floor with a refreshing expression that did not match his giving up.

After wiping the sweat from his entire body, he looked away and tilted his head.

“uh…?”

A large animal was seen in the alley.

There is a lion and a lamb. Next to them, there appeared to be trainers wearing black robes and holding whips and canes.

what? Did they invite a circus troupe?

Who the hell are you? No matter how tame you are, what are you going to do if you let a wild animal loose on the street?

But it looks strange.

The head of a sheep is attached to the body of a lion. There is also a snake’s tail.

As the citizens looked at the bizarre creature in shock, the ‘Chimera’ opened its mouth wide.

And… it lunged at the person, bit its head, and crushed it.

A scream rang out.

Everyone ran away.

The trainers with the chimera in the middle.

To be precise, the necromancers wearing robes raised their heads.

“…Now is the beginning.”

“Chaos Plan.”

“Cause as much fear and chaos as possible in the city…!”

The necromancers raised their staffs that had gathered magical power and struck them down.

* *

7th Prince Allen and Rupel’s faces hardened.

Oscar, who was nearby, widened his eyes as if he was surprised.

All the nobles in the banquet hall were startled and touched their ears.

I couldn’t figure out where the voice that was ringing in my head was not.

But the smell alone made Allen turn his head.

The front yard of the mansion.

An undead lich wearing robes and the necromancers around him were proudly entering through the front door.

Lich Nasus tilted his head while holding his staff, his eyes glowing red.

This is absurd.

With what confidence does he come in so confidently?

As they emerged, the Golden Cross placed its hand on its scabbard. Since there was no order from Oscar, I observed the situation.

The reason they came in confidently was because we judged that they were willing to have a conversation.

“It’s Rich.”

“It’s undead…!”

The banquet hall became noisy.

The nobles take a step back.

He rolled his eyes, looking for a doorway as if trying to escape.

At that time, necromancers broke in from inside the mansion.

“Everyone be quiet!”

When they pointed their wands, the nobles fell silent.

When Oscar frowned and turned his head, Ambassador Haima was pointing a dagger at Rupel’s neck.

Also, the maid next to Rupel’s mother, Rose, was startled and hid behind her.

Unlike the pale nobles, a deep smile appeared on Rose’s lips.

“Everyone stay still. “If you want to save the prince, be quiet!”

Oscar tilted his head at that sight.

The situation could not be assessed.

It is a black church. However, they are holding Ruppel, who can be said to be an insider, hostage.

What happened? Could it be that Rupel and Aslan are not related to each other?

No, no.

This is just a ‘play’. This is truly absurd.

Are you really trying to stop the Golden Cross by using yourself as a hostage?

Oscar shook his head.

Actually, if Rupel had been a hostage, Oscar would not have been able to move.

But that was before the ‘crime of treason’.

As for the current Oscar, it would be okay for him to cut Rupel’s head in an emergency.

The Golden Cross glanced at Oscar as if seeking orders.

Oscar was thinking.

Seonghwang said.

‘As long as he’s alive, it doesn’t matter if his limbs disappear.’

So…

Oscar grabbed the sword handle.

Let’s save it for now. But it wouldn’t matter if I cut off my arms and legs.

The Golden Cross followed suit and drew its sword.

Ambassador Rupel and Haima froze in shock.

“Didn’t I tell you not to move! You will have to stay here quietly. Otherwise…!”

Oscar smiled and said.

“Be quiet? You’re saying something funny. Are you saying this while pointing a dagger at the prince’s neck? This clearly amounts to a ‘declaration of war’. Also, there are quite a few witnesses…”

Oscar pointed to the wizards in the center of the banquet hall.

“All of this footage is being saved. “Do you know what that means?”

Oscar smiled heartily.

What is more advantageous in this situation is not Aslan but the prosperous kingdom.

Because they created a ‘justice’ for themselves!

“It becomes a justification for war. Thank you. Thanks to you, I will have a chance to fight you again.”

Ambassador Haima broke into a cold sweat.

The other person seems to actually be enjoying this situation.

what? Why are you so relaxed? Is this a bluff?

Ambassador Haima opened his mouth.

“…Haha what are you talking about? “You killed our nobleman first.”

“There’s no proof we did anything, right? Above all, looking at this situation, I think it could be seen as something you did. If you try to start a war by sacrificing internal nobles, it would be difficult for you, Aslan, to stay safe, right? Are you hoping for internal division?

“No need to worry. Because that’s what the Black Church did. With this incident, the Black Church will disappear. Also, there will be no survivors left here. Because I will kill them all. “We can just dispose of the remaining footage.”

“her! “It sounds like you could kill me.”

-There’s nothing you can’t do.

Oscar looked away.

Lich Nasus raised his staff.

He smiled.

And…

-even if it’s not possible here. The story is different elsewhere.

At that moment, the cane was struck.

The entire banquet hall shook.

A circle was drawn and runes were engraved.

Oscar’s eyes widened at that sight.

Warp magic?

“this…!”

That is also the highest level warp magic that surrounds the entire mansion.

There is no one on the continent who can use warp magic on this scale.

Still, it can be activated…?

‘Sacrifice!’

They use sacrifices to activate forced warp.

-Let me invite you guys to Aslan. Oscar, I’ll see if you’re still alive there.

Nasus gathered his magic power.

Oscar drew his sword.

At that time, Oscar turned his head when he felt a presence next to him.

7th Prince Allen is holding a musket of unknown origin.

I could see him infusing holy power into that place.

“Prince?”

And he aimed at Ambassadors Rupel and Haima.

“Didn’t I tell you not to move for a moment?”

“Ah Allen…?”

Rupel’s face also turned pale.

“What are you doing? Turn the gun right now…”

Ambassador Haima and Rupel’s faces hardened.

There was no hesitation in Allen’s eyes.

He was about to pull the trigger. Is

he planning to pierce even himself?

“This is crazy…!”

Ambassador Haima reflexively turned his body.

Allen pulled the trigger mercilessly.

The bullet pierced Rupel’s body and pierced Ambassador Haima’s shoulder. Ambassador Haima,

who had magical powers, vomited blood. .

At that moment, Oscar moved. He grabbed Rupel by the back of his neck and pulled him roughly.

“Prince, get out of here…!”

Allen immediately changed the target.

Nasus’s eyes widened as he looked at Allen.

I had no idea he would pull the trigger with a hostage.

Above all, those bullets are dangerous.

– Damn it…!

There is still a large-scale warp magic. is not completed. However, if he waits like this, he will be destroyed before the warp can be created.

– It doesn’t matter.

In any case, his mission is to tie up the Golden Cross’s feet as much as possible.

With that, if Aslan’s invasion is allowed and the barrier is breached, It happened!

Since the warp was not completed, it was questionable where the coordinates would be moved.

-Everyone disappear.

Nasus struck down his staff.

At the same time, his skull was pierced and shattered.

At that moment, the rune engraved in the mansion was activated.

Everything on it was activated. Life was split into molecules.

“Holy shit…!”

Oscar, who knew the principles of warp, quickly grabbed Rupel. And then he stretched out his hand and tried to grab the 7th prince.

An unfinished warp is dangerous.

No one knows if you make a mistake and end up being thrown somewhere.

If it is in contact with your body, you can fall together even if you are caught in a warp gate.

At least protect the prince…!

However, starting from the tip of Oscar’s finger, it was split into molecular units.

Thanks to this, the hand that almost grabbed Allen disappeared.

“Prince!”

Allen watched his body disappear and turned his head to look at Oscar.

“Be careful. “I don’t know where I’ll end up flying…!”

Oscar, who was with Rupel, disappeared.

Allen’s vision also darkened for the last time.

And…

when Allen came to his senses, it was a completely different space.

His body, which had been split into molecules, was restored to its original state.

He looked away.

It is a dark space. Inside, I could see the fishy smell of blood and souls groaning in pain.

Dozens of necromancers are dead, withered, on an altar with a large magic circle drawn on it.

‘Warp Gate’ where 30 people were sacrificed.

Allen looked away from the altar.

Hundreds of necromancers were lined up holding staffs, and thousands of slaves were imprisoned with gaunt bodies. Allen muttered to himself with a frozen face.

“Where am I?”

-…Damn you brat!

Allen turned his head.

Right next to him, the pieces of the undead Lich Nasus and Ambassador Haima gathered together to form a body.

It seems he arrived late.

“Aaaah! Damn it… damn it…!”

Ambassador Haima screamed as a bullet pierced his shoulder.

Necromancers are leading such ambassadors to heal them.

Nasus had his own skull restored.

He glanced at Ambassador Haima and then glared at Allen.

-You’re out of your mind. Even though your brother is being held hostage, you are trying to kill him along with the ambassador. Did you really want to be successful?

“Because there’s no such thing as dying anyway. Besides, I don’t want to do something that gives me headaches since it’s so successful.”

It is a bullet imbued with healing magic.

At least, there is no chance of death unless you have magical powers.

“But where is this place?”

Could it be that there is a space like this in the Holy Kingdom? This is nonsense.

How big are these guys? Or is the Seonghwangbeopguk so incompetent that it does not know about an organization of this scale?

Nasus cleared away Allen’s doubts.

-This is the headquarters of the Black Order, southeast of Aslan.

Allen was startled by those words and looked around.

High-level necromancers are gathered here.

Additionally, thousands of their slaves are locked in iron bars.

-For this plan, 30 necromancers were sacrificed.

Nasus trembled with his staff.

-Our plan to bring not only Humite but also Oscar here and kill him. But screw this up?

Nasus raised his staff in anger.

-Years of preparation went in vain. Because of you alone…!

Nasus said with a blush in his eyes.

-Now that it’s like this, I’ll rip you into pieces and dissect you. Allen All Falls! I will take your power!

Allen looked around while listening to Nasus.

It is a temple where no light comes in.

There are numerous necromancers stationed there.

‘Why did I get summoned here alone, even if I got through the warp?’

Of all the people, I was the only one who was summoned here.

What are the odds of this happening?

What happened to my brother? There is no need to worry since you are with Oscar, but if this is Aslan, it is safe to say that he is in the middle of enemy lines. Above all, the opponent seems to have thoroughly prepared to kill Oscar.

Allen looked at Nasus.

The staff he was holding. And there are numerous necromancers here.

Dissection to determine the source of power?

Nasus was wrong.

The opposite will happen.

“…But do you know this?”

Allen took out Amon’s skull from the item window.

The opponent is prepared to face the strongest person in the Holy Kingdom.

“It’s not me who gets torn to shreds and dissected…”

That said, we need to do our best to deal with this side as well.

“…that it will be you.”

He wore Amon’s skull on his head. As another item, he took out the magic book used by Amon, the Demon King.

Nasus and the necromancers’ faces hardened when they saw this.

They know what kind of object Allen is holding.

“I am a legionnaire.”

Allen looked at Nasus with his skull on and smiled.

“…Gaia’s successor.”
