Necromancer’s Evolutionary Traits - Chapter 156
Episode 156. Adrias, who took out the potion from the warlocks’ traps,
handed it to Diene and looked around.
Nick, who had already left no trace of Diene’s magic, was left with only remnants of magic, and only Malone, who had been cut off by his sword a while ago, was left alone.
After drinking the potion, Diene frowned as she touched the wound on her abdomen.
A cold sweat ran down his jawline at the pain that was more intense than he could have imagined.
“Thank you for your help. But why are you here?”
But when I tried to look at Adrias casually and ask what I was curious about, he answered by tossing over Marlon’s body.
“Due to the mana anomaly, the manufacturers and I were scattered. So, while wandering through the maze alone, I felt a wave of magic and ran right away.”
I don’t know if what he said is true, but I’m glad I could have died if it wasn’t for him.
Adrias stopped rummaging through Marlon’s body and pulled out another potion and beckoned.
“The wound is deep. Be still for now.”
Adrias approached Diene and examined her wounds.
The opponent stabbed him in the abdomen with his hand, which had been sharpened by changing its shape, but fortunately the wound was clean.
First of all, Adrias poured the potion and made Diene drink the rest of the potion before laying her down.
“I don’t have time to be here like this.”
“Diene doesn’t need to look at this evaluation well anyway.”
“Still, the members of the other side… … .”
At that moment, I wondered if the members of the group who passed first were also the traps of this maze.
And once a question started to arise, the thoughts bit their tail after tail and headed to Adrias.
“Adrias.”
“yes.”
“Before entering the maze, you told me to be careful of the members. How the hell did you know?”
“I was literally just telling you to be careful. I didn’t even know that this would happen. Do you really think I said it knowing in advance?”
Adrias stared at the goblin’s door and spoke bluntly.
“It was just courtesy advice.”
“okay? Well, how could you know everything? Thanks anyway, thanks for noticing it. Of course, I couldn’t stop them all.”
After that, there was an awkward silence for a while.
Diene felt her wounds heal quickly and felt the need to move.
“Let’s go, Adrias.”
“Are you all right?”
“No, it’s not okay. But escape first.”
Diane smiled bitterly.
“It would have been impossible without you, but I believe in you.”
“All right.”
As Adrias and Diene stood in front of the goblin’s door, the giant face opened its mouth.
-you… … not a worker is it a sword
The horned face stared at Adrias.
At those incomprehensible words, Diene looked back at Adrias, who was staring at the door with a hard face.
-Whose sword is it? There’s no way a starving person would have given a sword to a worker.
“I don’t know what you mean. knife? Are you talking about this?”
When Adrias raised his sword and showed it, the goblin laughed.
-under! under! under! After all, a worker is only a worker and knows nothing! It is also a species that lives only by working. It’s a black luxury for you.
“You’re just saying things I can’t understand. Are you making trouble?”
-problem? I have no problems with you. That worker may pass, but there is no way to give you.
Since the case of the goblin’s door refusing to ask a question had never been read in the literature, Diene looked at the two with wide eyes.
Even if he said something unknown from earlier, he refused at all.
However, judging by Adrias’ reaction, he didn’t seem to understand what Moon was saying either.
“It sucks.”
Sureureung.
Adrias drew his sword.
As if to break through with force, Diene stopped her.
“Adrias. no.”
As the excavation of the ruins took a huge interest, the strongest people within the empire gathered.
This ‘Monet’s Labyrinth’ was also to the extent that a Warlock-class wizard and an Auror Master participated in the first excavation.
And in the literature left by the Warlocks who participated in that way, the powers of some traps were described.
“Dokkaebi’s Gate was documented in the document saying that Muto Kinein, an Auror Master who participated in the first excavation, was unable to penetrate it by force and was only seriously injured.”
“I know.”
He said that, but for some reason, Adrias continued to stand with his sword.
After a brief snowball fight with the door, he slowly opened his mouth.
“If I have a sword, that means you can cut it too, right?”
-You’re stupid. You’re going to cut me down with a sword you haven’t even sharpened yet?
Adrias ignored the goblin’s words and looked at the system window that had appeared in one corner of his field of vision from earlier.
[Prophecy ‘Seed of God’s Death’ discovers the energy of God.]
[The energy of ‘The Man with the Face of Thousands’ has been found.]
[It can be suppressed.]
‘The sword… … Is it the seed of death?’
Monet’s Labyrinth is also one of the ancient ruins.
It is not known if it is related to the ancient god, but Adrias was able to confirm that it was related by the message that appeared in his field of vision.
“I want to try it.”
[Prophecy ‘Seed of God’s Death’ activates.]
[Suppresses the energy of God temporarily.]
[Temporarily lowers the effect of ‘The One with the Own Face’.]
[Temporarily resists from the ‘One with the Own Face’. Rising.]
[The blessing ‘Seed of God’s Death’ has collected one trace.]
[If you collect three more traces, a change will occur.]
“I wonder if I can cut you… … .”
It was famous that even the Aura Master couldn’t penetrate it.
However, Adrias did not think that he could not break through because of his lack of skill.
It just lacked resistance to God.
Woo woo-.
Adrias’ sword cried.
When the Seed of God’s Death was activated, the goblin, whose complexion had deteriorated noticeably, opened its mouth.
-You’re stupid.
“Are you scared?”
Adrias raised one corner of his mouth and ran without hesitation.
“Adrias!”
Surprised, Diene tried to stop him, but it was too much for her injured body.
Soon, I had no choice but to stare helplessly at Adrias crashing into the door.
Quagga gak-!
Sudden!
the door… … .
“It was cut… … .”
Diene was vacantly judging the situation that had taken place in front of her eyes.
I had read that even the mercenary king Muto Kinein, famous as an Auror Master, couldn’t make a blemish.
Then what does that mean?
“Nothing.”
―Keureuk gurreuk.
The door gushed out blood as if it were a creature.
However, the color of the blood was black, as if it was old and rotten.
-okay. Does it feel good to be with me?
The goblin, split exactly in half, spoke while bleeding.
Adrias took a cold glance at the scene and reached out her hand to Diene, quietly inserting her sword.
“I’ll pick you up.”
“what?”
“Because it gets dirty.”
The floor was already puddles of black blood.
However, Diene, who did not want to do such a manly act, shook her head.
“There is magic, but what… … .”
“The wounds heal. You should also refrain from using magic for a while.”
Adrias forcibly carried Diene on his back.
And at once, I jumped over the door that was split in half.
―Every situation is shared here.
At that time, the still undead face of the goblin spoke.
―My becoming like this is also being shared in real time hehehe.
“At least you’re talking too loud about the maze. Do you think I can’t even get out of it?”
―We have already been completely dismantled by workers like you. yes don’t admit it Our strength is not as good as before and we cannot stop you. If you and I were together, there would be no problem.
“Only us?”
Diene questioned, noticing something unnatural about Moon’s words.
Then the door giggled and continued.
-okay. Not only you, but other beings are also in this place now. I was there a few days before your guys came.
“What is it?”
-Khehehe. Are you curious? Too bad I don’t know. Except that they are heteromorphic beings like us… … .
After saying that, the door stopped working.
Adrias, seeing the door that had stopped leaving only a mystery to the end, began to walk silently with Diene on his back.
“A heterogeneous existence? And the fact that it came a few days ago… … .”
“I don’t have a good feeling.”
“huh. It’s strange that something came in a few days before we saw the evaluation. It wouldn’t matter if a monster simply got lost, but the probability of that would be low.”
Adrias’ expression also became serious.
His expression was invisible to Diene, who was sitting on his back, but he continued.
“It’s difficult to decorate things inside the academy, so it seems like they planned something outside. Still, the professors said they would come in if it was too late, so I don’t have to worry too much… … .”
“For now, I will find a way out. I don’t think it’ll be good to stay long.”
“okay.”
There were no other members of the crew on the other side of the door.
Only silence lingered as they walked down the street, confused as to whether they had already left or whether it was the same group in the first place.
Could it be because of something that happened a while ago?
Diene felt drowsiness pouring in on her involuntarily.
Normally, I would have been alert, but my eyes were closed by an unknown sense of comfort and relief.
“Get some sleep. I will wake you up.”
Hearing the faint voice of Adrias, she leaned her head on his back.
* * *
After confirming that Diene was asleep, I was finally able to sigh.
I moved desperately to save her.
In fact, it was a lie to say that he broke up with his members.
I tried to believe in Diene’s ability, but I couldn’t hide my anxiety as I roughly guessed what would happen.
In the end, while walking with the same crew, he quietly slipped out and moved to find Diene.
‘I’m sorry to my teammates, but it was a good decision.’
Did you say that life is of equal value?
sorry but not for me
I was able to do this because I thought that even if all the students in the academy died, only the playables would survive.
In fact, if I hadn’t abandoned my teammates, it could have been a big deal.
‘Anyway, it’s a heterogeneous existence… … .’
A variable has been created.
A situation that did not exist in the game.
Or maybe it was in the game and I didn’t encounter it.
‘I don’t know what it is, but I’d better think about it.’
Escape was the first priority.
* * *
Two days have passed since entering the maze.
In the meantime, Diene’s wounds had healed a lot, so I no longer carried her on my back.
“Why can’t I see anyone?”
“It’s either bad luck or good luck.”
Even in the game, I ran into other groups from time to time.
Trouble arises or cooperation with Joe, who ran into it like that, but in the current situation, it would be better not to run into each other.
There were people who admired her, like Diene and I, but there must be people who don’t like it. If Diene and I were just the two of us, and it was confirmed that one of them was injured, there was a high possibility that they would try to trick us into being eliminated.
‘Because all of those things are included in the evaluation.’
After walking for two days, I guessed that the exit was getting closer.
What I had no choice but to feel directly was the scenery around me slowly changing.
“ah.”
Diene, who found something, let out a short sound.
As I walked, I already felt the presence of people, so I walked without showing any signs.
‘however… … .’
Why is everyone gathered?
I saw a portal-like structure that seemed like an escape route.
One unusual thing is a box with a strange pattern in front of it.
“Die Diene! Adrias!”
The students who noticed our arrival looked at us with trembling eyes.
First, I asked to find out what was going on.
“What are you all doing here?”
“There is a trap in front of the exit. So no one is leaving.”
Looking at it now, there were 9 students in total.
Are there two pairs?
“Is that the trap?”
The student who answered Diene’s question nodded.
“Three people have already died.”
“yes?”
“Three people have already died because of that box.”
My butt hurts.
I looked at the box again.
It was the first time I knew that such a type of trap existed in Monet’s labyrinth.
‘I think I’ve seen it somewhere… … .’
Looking at the faint sense of déjà vu, I must have seen it in the game.
However, the graphics in the game and in reality were different, so I couldn’t remember exactly.
“I don’t remember reading a box like that, even as data or literature. What exactly happened?”
“As you approach, in that box with the lid open… … A monster emerges.”
A box that pops out monsters when you approach it?
When I heard what was happening, I immediately noticed the identity of the box.
It’s definitely not something that should be in this maze, but being here… … .
‘Chaos Mimic… … . They were targeting me.’
I knew who the owner was, so I knew what he was aiming for.
It happened just a while ago, and the butterfly effect happens right away.
I guess that’s why I was so intrusive.
“Even with magic, it doesn’t take damage and doesn’t budge. No, it just feels like mana itself doesn’t work. Is it supposed to be absorbed?”
“If you get rid of that, you can escape, but magic doesn’t work, so you can’t move it.”
“I’ll look into it with magic.”
Diane stepped out proudly.
When she stepped out, the students cheered for her, sending excited eyes of hope.
“thank god. If Diane steps in, it will be resolved soon.”
“I don’t care about evaluation anymore. Please let me go out!”
I know what that thing is, but I didn’t have a clear solution, so I just watched it.
It’s a bonus to make your body nervous at the thought of stepping out and protecting her.
Ugh!
The named-class staff ‘Roar of Dawn’ in her hand radiated light.
The space magic completed at once was used on the box blocking the exit.
