Necromancer’s Evolutionary Traits - Chapter 126

Episode 126. Kriebmacher and the Strange Incident

Something completely unexpected was shining near the fallen Krebmacher.

Upon closer inspection, he noticed that it was a broken dragon heart.

‘Dragon Heart… … Rather, it should be called a piece of dragon heart.’

It is said to be a heart, but it looked like a jewel.

It hadn’t been long since it had been broken, but I could still feel its strong power.

“Dragon!”

Luna, who followed me, shouted.

It’s unbelievable that he had a hard time just a little while ago.

I guess that’s Luna’s strong point.

“This was my goal from the beginning, but I’ve come back.”

“this.”

Luna pointed at the broken dragon heart.

“Shall we fix it?”

“Can you fix it?”

She crouched down and started fiddling with the dragon heart.

“It’s a waste to just leave it alone.”

Luna opened the subspace artifact and started taking out something.

It was a white needle.

“Hang in there! Originally, it was used to sew souls, but this will work too!”

Even though his mana had recovered to some extent, he frowned while holding on to the needle, wondering if it was still enough to use magic.

In the meantime, I looked at the portal just in case, but fortunately this portal remained as if it were semi-permanent.

“done!”

A white thread was threaded through the nose of the needle. I don’t think that thread mana is it?

Before she could even ask what exactly it was, Luna began stitching the broken dragon heart together.

Now that I think about it, Luna seems to know all kinds of catching techniques.

“Get ready!”

“yes.”

I didn’t say what to prepare, but the meaning was conveyed.

I immediately took out the catalysts that would help summon the undead from the space expansion backpack Nickel was holding and laid them around the dead Krivmacher.

‘Bone Dragon. It won’t work all at once.’

It can be quite tough, like when Ludo was turned into a ghoul.

However, his magic skills had improved since then, and this time he had properly prepared the catalysts, so it didn’t seem like it would take that long.

After drawing an auxiliary magic circle as a catalyst and placing various objects in position, when I was ready to use magic, Luna brought a dragon heart and handed it to me.

“This is Dragon Heart.”

When I touched it, the texture and feel were unique.

It feels solid yet soft.

Its appearance was just like a huge chunk of unprocessed jewel.

Because Luna patched it up, it looks a bit tattered.

“Can I use it?”

“then? who uses it?”

Rather, Luna seemed innocent as she tilted her head and asked what I meant.

After all, Luna must be protected. Contrary to strength, it seems too pure.

He approached Kriebmacher and inserted a dragon heart into his broken heart.

The dragon heart was not originally planned, so the magic circle was also in a state of being slightly modified.

“good! let’s go!”

Luna also looked over the magic circle once and exclaimed excitedly.

[Intermediate Necromancer: Summoning Skeletons.]

[A corpse is detected.]

[Detecting materials helpful for Necromancer. Additional effects are applied.]

Ugh.

The magic circle glowed and mana began to accumulate.

All kinds of catalysts gathered the collected mana intact into the dragon’s body.

When I used the skill, mana was automatically arranged and a spell was created, but I slightly twisted the spell.

‘This must be the right thing to do.’

Even the spells adjusted by system calibration were not always correct.

It was a thought-provoking decision because his understanding of magic had improved significantly while receiving lessons from the head of the Magic Department, Berial.

‘Beriall, the priest of Beriel Lette, the head of the Department of Magic. They have similar names.’

Let’s infuse mana while thinking about useless thoughts… … .

-Titling!

[‘Charity Greed’ detects the precious metal ‘Dragon Heart’.]

[Magic success rate +15%]

He was also wearing the Crown of Greed.

I didn’t know dragon hearts would be classified as precious metals, but for now, that’s a good sign.

Due to the constant absorption of mana in the air, one of Greed’s abilities, mana constantly entered the magic circle, and finally, changes began to occur in Krivmacher’s huge torso.

‘If it wasn’t for the crown, it would have been difficult?’

The amount of mana used exceeded my expectations.

Maybe it was because of the dragon heart that was forcibly stitched together.

Ugh-!

The noise of the powerful magic circle echoed and the image of Krivmacher slowly but slowly transforming into the undead was impressive.

“cheer up!”

-Kikkik!

Luna and Rulf were cheering for Krivmacher, not me.

But the funny thing is that Kriebmacher moved as if in response to those words.

‘Is he dead?’

The moment he continued pouring mana, thinking it must have been an illusion.

[Intermediate Necromancer: Summon Skeleton Successfully]

[Summoned a Bone Dragon (Myth).]

[The quality of the raised corpse is excellent. A stat bonus is added.]

[The level of the raised corpse is far superior. This is the final form. A stat bonus is added.]

[The level of the raised corpse is close to Transcendence. You get a little bit of your former self back.]

[It is a mythological undead. It inherits some of its characteristics from when it was alive.]

The scales are not completely removed.

Instead, the color became a slightly dull dark red color, which was rather nice.

‘The dragon’s scales are hard, so it’s not bad.’

The moment I tried to open Krivmacher’s status window right away.

―I thought I would finally be able to go to sleep, but it is a terrible fate.

he said

“and! said! friend! The Bone Dragon said!”

I know because I heard it too.

But rather than making a fuss like Luna, she was dumbfounded.

what is this again

-You look bewildered.

“Because I didn’t know that my ego would remain like this.”

-You brought it on yourself. Our heart is the essence of power that holds a greater meaning than other creatures. It contains our mana as well as parts of our selves and our skills.

Kriebmacher felt like an old man who had lived for a very long time.

―With the power of the transcendent, I lost my reason and was suppressed. But I remembered all those years completely. I wanted to finally get out of the yoke of bondage, but I never dreamed that such a fate would await me.

I took advantage of his monologue and opened the status window.

[Bone Dragon (Myth)]

―Kribmaher Tan ―Undead

―Tier

240,000 Mana?

There are 12 tiers.

there are no monsters

It’s also strange that there is an asterisk in the ego part.

[Ego★: Due to the mighty power, the intact ego remains.]

I don’t know if this is a good thing.

Aren’t you listening? First of all, it’s nice to get a powerful undead… … .

―My dear, do you know the identity of the object you wrote?

“I am your master, not you.”

-Then let’s do this.

It was a headache to see Kriebmacher suddenly trying to make a deal, but I heard about it.

-Give me the crown you wore. Then I will be your limbs.

greed?

I weighed it slowly.

The Bone Dragon and the Crown of Greed.

Honestly, looking at the specifications of this dragon, I can’t help but be greedy.

But what does the dragon I saw mean when I die?

The Crown of Greed was an item that raised my own specs, so I was a little worried.

Of course, as it’s a striking item, you may not always wear it, but when you’re in a hurry… … .

‘for a moment?’

Then, a sudden thought popped into my head.

How about doing it like this?

* * *

Midnight when everyone is asleep.

Abraham, who was returning to the academy dormitory before the vacation was over, heard a strange noise.

At first, I thought it was an illusion, but I eventually woke up to the sound I heard every night, not even a day.

“What the hell is this all about?”

He came out of the room and looked around.

The moonlight was not bright, so it was dark even though there were windows in the hallway.

“Mmm.”

The atmosphere was not very good.

It was still during the vacation period, so few students returned, and there was no student who could come out and make strange noises in the middle of the night like this.

So, what have you been hearing these days?

“driving me crazy.”

Actually, it didn’t matter if I just ignored it, but the sound was more annoying than I thought.

It was so annoying that I couldn’t sleep comfortably, and although it wasn’t loud, it was a strangely disturbing noise.

“Who isn’t there?”

Abraham shouted softly in the dorm hallway.

However, only his voice echoed emptyly in the dark hallway where no sign was felt.

The strangely chilly atmosphere gave Abraham goosebumps.

Although he had never thought about it before, the dormitory he lived in was a place where rumors and ghost stories existed.

Of course, all the other dormitories had one of these rumors, but there were a lot of them in the ash dormitory where he lives.

“I feel bad.”

I said it out loud and went back into the room.

But as soon as he entered the room, strange noises began to come from the hallway.

Sigh. Sigh.

It sounds like someone stepping on a wooden plank.

That’s why Abraham had no choice but to be firm.

‘Our dormitory is a stone dormitory, right?’

I couldn’t hear the sound of stepping on the wooden planks.

The hallway is also made of marble?

Abraham slowly turned around and put his ear to the door.

Sigh. Sigh.

The sound gradually got closer.

Unknowingly, Abraham, whose neck was shaking, felt his body getting more and more tense and focused on the approaching sound.

Kiki-Kik-Kik.

At some point the sound stopped.

Abraham, who did not have the courage to open the door again, sighed quietly and was relieved.

That moment.

Squeak! Squeak! Squeak! Squeak! Squeak!

Unlike before, Abraham jumped into the bed at the speed of the noise. Then he groped for his cane, which he should have placed on the chest of drawers next to the bed.

‘Where are you!’

The cane was difficult to grasp because it was wrapped in a blanket.

Then, the moment when he finally felt the touch of the cane and was relieved to take it.

did not pull

Abraham, who kept tugging at the motionless staff as if someone was holding it on the other side, soon realized the oddity and turned pale.

Abraham slowly looked outside through the gap in the blanket… … .

Sigh.

* * *

A strange incident occurred in the Ash Dormitory.

The withered body of a student was found.

Rumors didn’t spread much because school hadn’t started yet, but students who had returned to the academy in advance had no choice but to tremble with anxiety.

“You say you don’t even know the cause?”

“It’s not even magic! Then what the hell is this?”

Students trembled with anxiety and the ash dormitory was temporarily closed.

And someone was quietly watching this situation.

‘It’s going well.’

Calmly judging, he quietly returned to his place of residence.

Thinking of someone who will return to the academy.
