Necromancer’s Evolutionary Traits - Chapter 179
Episode 179. Maximin’s Confirmation Maximin
and I, who had been upgraded from unexpected guests to valuable people, were taken to the VIP room for a while.
The elves hurriedly disappeared saying they had to hold a meeting, but thanks to that, I had a chance to catch my breath.
“Are you here alone?”
“hmm.”
He leaned against the window and nodded.
Looking at the scenery outside, he was determined to engrave the image of Rastilia into his eyes even just a little bit more.
“What happened?”
This time, Maximin asked first.
If I were to tell you what had happened, I would also have to let you know that I knew the information about the future, so I decided to cover it up.
“There was a parasite at the root of the World Tree. I don’t know why I didn’t give it a trust until I took care of it, but I solved it well. On the way, an elf tried to get in my way and died instead.”
“It is difficult to guess the will of God. The fact that the oracle was given now should be seen as a change in the mind of the god by your visit to the Great Forest. If you hadn’t come, it would have been God’s will to let the World Tree die.”
“It is difficult to understand.”
“Don’t try to understand.”
Maximin’s gaze turned towards the World Tree, which was still sprinkled with light powder from afar.
“Rather than that, the answer I want to hear has yet to come.”
“What answer do you want?”
“If it’s changed that much in just a few days, won’t anyone ask?”
oh that’s what you asked
In fact, it was strengthened by an evolutionary trait, so this could not be explained.
“Was it a difficult question? It doesn’t matter if you don’t answer.”
He spoke first before I could answer.
And then he gestured.
“Follow me.”
Suddenly, he walked out of the room and told me to follow him. I don’t know why, but I followed him.
The place he arrived at was an empty lot next to the VIP room.
Elves working inside the building were often seen, and Maximin pulled out his sword there.
suddenly?
I had a question, but I roughly figured out the intention and asked.
“Is it sparring?”
“Dalian? Let it be.”
I was a little embarrassed by the words that I couldn’t understand, but I drew my sword without showing it.
Anyway, there was no chance of victory even if we gave everything to Maximin, so we decided to do our best from the beginning.
‘Even Hougen, who is said to be the strongest swordsman of the elves, endured to some extent in the beginning.’
What about the citizens?
kang!
The eyes of the passing elves were focused on us as the strong metal sound resonated.
While I decided to do my best, I awakened the soul imprint that I had not been able to use in Hougen.
– Kraha!
Al-Gurd’s voice, which I hadn’t heard in a long time, gave me courage.
In fact, the ability of the body rose at once and suddenly became faster.
Whiik- Bang!
However, despite my movements, Maximin was still receiving my attacks in place.
‘Crazy.’
Each of Maximin’s small movements, which had not been seen before, were entered into his mind.
My swordsmanship talent, which had become a genius, was able to grasp how far-fetched his seemingly ordinary movements were.
‘I want to make a gap.’
I wanted to make such Maximin move even one step.
I accelerated by adding Mana Wave and Selfless Sword to the newly learned Transcendental Sword.
Then, it was so fast that it was difficult to control.
Hooded.
Every time I moved, the ground cracked open and scattered crumbs of stone.
And it all felt like time had slowed down.
Finally, my sword was swung by Maximin, who seemed unable to react.
“It’s fast.”
… … !
In the midst of the slowing down time, I could clearly hear Maximin’s words.
At the same time as the sudden thought of whether it was physically possible, he finally moved.
Snuggle Geek!
Galaksur made an unpleasant noise as he was blocked by his opponent’s sword.
Considering the speed and power it contained, it wasn’t strange to hear a roar, but it was simply the sound of metal scraping.
However, I did not give up and continued my swordsmanship.
‘According to the conclusion… … .’
Maximin’s sword cuts down the betrayal executioner!
“hmm?”
Maximin also naturally removed the sword that was facing him, perhaps feeling a strange feeling.
I tried to force it back together, but it was a futile move.
“You learned something strange.”
Aside from saying that it was strange, the corner of Maximin’s mouth went up slightly.
And then… … .
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
A violent aura exploded right in front of my eyes.
I hurriedly swung my sword to block the opponent’s aura.
‘see. I can stop it.’
I could see the texture of the aura bursting out.
Due to the use of Al-Gourd’s soul imprint, the pumped physical ability directly affected his talent.
Huung.
The body moved instinctively and drew the transcendental swordsmanship.
Along with that, Maximin’s aura began to cut.
‘do!’
To block the aura that even Surahan had been hit with!
Of course, this didn’t mean that I was stronger than Surahan, but I was excited.
“Growth is fast, but it’s still a long way off.”
As I was rejoicing, I heard a voice from behind me before I knew it.
I hurriedly tried to turn around, but a great shock rang through the back of my head.
Quaang!
I fell to the floor with a shock that shook my brain.
What time is it?
“Wake up.”
Hearing Maximin’s calm voice, he managed to pull himself together.
My head still rang, but I had no trouble getting up.
“Did Deshurn tell you that too?”
As he watched me get up, he winked at my sword.
“You’re using a swordsmanship I’ve never seen before.”
“It’s not something Master taught me.”
“It seemed so. Because it didn’t look like a sword that Deshurn would use. It looks like it was made by a woman.”
I was just thinking the same thing.
A meticulous and balanced swordsmanship.
The personality and characteristics of the creator were so clear that it seemed to be a woman.
Above all, it was a decision made because there were often movements that matched the structure of a woman’s body.
Men and women’s bodies are different, so the more advanced sword techniques, the more prominent these differences are.
“In terms of level, it would be similar to me. I was a little surprised after a long time. It’s rare to see a prosecutor of the same level as me lately.”
“A similar level… … .”
If the words of original sin are true, the master of this sword method is the transcendental god we commonly refer to.
However, Maximin said that he was on the same level as that god, so should I say this is great… … .
‘It’s a sword technique created before becoming a god, so strictly speaking, it wasn’t created by a god… … .’
Also, this man was a monster.
As I looked at him with a tired expression for a while, Maximin shook his hand as he put his sword on his back.
“You don’t have to worry anymore. I’m leaving.”
“Where are you going?”
“To Isabelle. You have been away for too long.”
After saying that, he walked away.
I couldn’t stop it because I wasn’t the one who would listen to it, so I just watched it and suddenly remembered what he said.
“No need to worry?”
I wondered why he suddenly wanted to know my level.
But when I bumped into him, I realized it once again.
‘I’m still weak.’
I was too short of myself to be conceited.
Luckily, I was able to kill the unwary Seir and hit Hougen in the back of the head for a moment, but I still felt that I was far away.
I haven’t even become an aura master yet.
In the game, only after the playable characters enter the class of superhumans, the destruction class episode begins to progress. With that in mind, a full-fledged game was only worth trying after becoming an Aura Master or Warlock.
“I… … cow guest.”
“hmm?”
While I was lost in thought, an elf approached me.
“A message came from the conference hall asking me to bring you.”
It was quite impressive to see his eyes glancing at the traces of brutal destruction in the clearing.
Is the meeting over anyway? now my turn?
“All right. Let’s go right away.”
“yes. You can follow me.”
I followed the elf and calmed down my breathing.
There was no need to rush yet.
Because I’m already too strong at this point.
‘but… … .’
Could that alone prevent destruction?
And since this world is real, once you die, it’s over.
Even after becoming a superhuman in the game, it was natural that I couldn’t be relieved when I thought of the characters who had died countless times.
‘No matter how much I think about it, alone is not enough.’
power was needed.
To be precise, a base that can embrace and retain powerful characters.
I can’t swallow the rally right away, so if I let it go for now, the best I can do is… … .
‘It’s a good opportunity.’
I need to get some from negotiations with the elves.
A card to lay the groundwork for.

“You’re right here.”
Isabelle said to Maximin, who was in the moment while reading a book.
Maximin nodded calmly, unfastened the scabbard from his back, put it on the table, and sat down in a chair.
“What about Adrias?”
“I have some business left, so I’ll come back in a little while.”
“You should have come as if you had gone.”
“He’s the guy who doesn’t have to.”
Isabel’s eyes lit up at Maximin’s words.
She closed the book she was reading and pulled a chair to sit down.
As Isabelle supported her chin with her hand and started looking at Maximin with an expectant expression, his expressionless face began to relax.
“What happened?”
“Exactly, I didn’t hear either.”
Maximin took out a knife from its scabbard that had been placed on the table.
And his sword, ‘The Executioner of Betrayal’, was engraved with a wound that had never existed before.
“I grew up in a short time. I don’t know what happened, but it was a monstrous growth.”
“Are you in a position to be called a monster?”
“I am not kidding.”
He said while scanning the wound on his sword face.
“At most, this year’s academy graduating class killed the Aura Master.”
“Aura Master?”
Isabelle shook her head in surprise.
Maximin, who gently grabbed her shoulder and pressed her actions, continued.
“Adrias is not even an Auror Master.”
“It looks just like you.”
“No, again, he is a student who hasn’t even graduated yet. This is what I did after graduation. That’s a pretty big difference. It’s different from me.”
“You mean Adrias is more talented than you? I didn’t feel that way.”
Isabelle also said with doubts because she was confident in her abilities and eyes.
And Maximin did not deny her like that.
“You are right. But, like having god-related powers, there’s still something about him that we don’t know about. You will know when you meet.”
“Huh.”
Isabel, who let out a snort of interest, rested her chin for a moment, lost in thought.
After a while, she called for Maximin, who was resting with her eyes closed.
“I suddenly thought of something, what if this happened?”
“hmm?”
A mischievous smile spread across her face.
Isabelle’s words continued for a while, and Maximin listened quietly to them.
When she finally finished her words, Maximin nodded.
“Isabelle. If you want to.”
“Then let’s do that.”
Her smile deepened.
“Because I have a lot of time.”
* * *
Chii profit.
Kwajik!
“Keep it off!”
Someone collapsed with a scream of agony.
The figure, who appeared to be a lizard beast, wriggled and melted his flesh, then rose from his seat in a grotesque appearance.
―Geu uh uh.
In an instant, he became undead and immediately attacked the beastman next to him.
“Run away! It is an unstoppable opponent!”
“We need to ask for support from other villages… … Gagging!”
The lizardman who was screaming died as a black spear was pierced into his stomach.
And the black magician who used the magic immediately turned the lizard man into an undead.
“Don’t bother me.”
It was Aslan Blue, who followed Adrias to the depths of the Great Forest.
Thanks to slightly deviating from the road, he arrived at another village near the village of the Hwanin tribe, and immediately started generating electricity.
Since he turned the village into a dungeon, he was here anyway, so he thought of experimenting with different races while he came this far.
In his eyes, Adrias Cromwell was just a magician who was lucky enough to catch Morne’s eyes.
“Now, show me. What other races are around here?”
―Geu uh uh.
Aslan, who ripped out the fragmentary memories of the undead, smiled.
“Nearby.”
His next target was the village of the Hwanin tribe.
