Necromancer’s Evolutionary Traits - Chapter 206

[ Episode 206. Clash of the Undead]

The Gorge of Lamentation fell and the territory of Borgien became the forefront.

The walls of the castle were also crumbling in places, and countless corpses of both enemies and allies were piled up like a mountain in front of them.

Magner, the leader of the Borgien Knights, who was watching such a scene from the top of the castle wall, wiped off his face, which was covered in dark red bloodstains, with water from a canteen.

“Puha. I will follow you.”

The owner of this place, who had no intention of shutting himself away in the lord’s castle, left everything to Magner.

To be honest, thinking of his usual appearance, he was grateful that the lord had not abandoned Borghien, but that too was gradually reaching its limit.

When Magner finished washing his face and looked around, he saw tired soldiers, villagers, and knights with superhuman stamina compared to ordinary people, dozing while standing.

“It’s over.”

Magner foreboded with a sense of his past experience.

Maybe it was because he underestimated the northern barbarians too much.

Borghien was too arrogant and didn’t even call for backup.

It was already in the state of requesting support, but it was too late.

Reinforcements will arrive soon, but I don’t have the confidence to hold on until then.

“Sir Magner. coming.”

As if he was used to it now, a soldier who had been reconnaissance came up to him and said.

Magner nodded and patted his cheek.

“good. Let’s burn the last one.”

Magner originally used a greatsword, but during the war he used a longsword.

It was a long-term battle, so it was an unavoidable choice because it was essential to maintain full stamina, but it didn’t matter anymore.

Sureung-

His greatsword smelled the outside air after a long time and made a pleasant sound.

“Rise up, you guys! How long are you going to sleep!”

The people who were dozing off at Magner’s screams took care of their spirit.

At the time of the first battle, there were no more people who trembled at every word Magner said.

Those who died died, and only those who lived survived, and everyone was numb.

“Why did you have your favorite sword?”

Horan, the vice-captain of the Borgien Knights, tilted his head and pointed at Magner’s greatsword.

However, Horan, realizing something before Magner could answer, hardened his expression and chewed his lips.

“……okay.”

“What is it? I didn’t say anything.”

“no. Even if you don’t have to listen, your resolve will be conveyed.”

Horan sighed and looked behind the enemy instead of in front.

However, there was only a useless lord’s castle, not support from the back, filling the field of vision.

“It’s coming soon, will that be difficult?”

“You know, too.”

At Magner’s words, Horan looked around and nodded.

“It must be difficult.”

“We were foolish. And I held out for quite some time to atone for that foolishness.”

“Well, I did hold out against the Aura Master for a long time. It was fortunate that he was not a high-level superhuman.”

Horan smiled bitterly and started to pack his armor.

Slowly, enemies approaching began to appear on the far horizon.

“Thank you so far.”

“Horan.”

“Yes, Captain.”

“You may take His Excellency Borgien and run away right now.”

“If that was the case, I would have run away right away. After going through all these hardships, come now? Could you please speak a little sooner?”

“Do you have any regrets?”

“I have many regrets. Fortunately, I’m an orphan and I don’t have a family. If it wasn’t for that, I would have cursed the leader.”

“Good. Crush your enemies with that momentum.”

“I still think so.”

The ground started to rumble.

The enemies, who had retreated for a while due to the engagement earlier, returned with their number called before they knew it.

And the number seemed to be higher than usual.

“They also made up their mind.”

“Iknow, right.”

Even if Borghien was pushed, the other places were in good condition.

Although this place will be captured, if it is the strength of the empire, which belatedly began to gather troops, it will annihilate the enemies in an instant.

“Haa… that’s bittersweet.”

The only thing I regret is that it’s a bit late.

Thanks to this, this place would become a land of the dead.

“come. Everyone ready to shoot!”

The final battle of Borgien has begun.

**

The Northern War has three major crises.

The first was the raid on the rear supply base, Mayton, that I blocked.

If this is not prevented, Louis and Lucia will experience a crisis at the same time.

And the second crisis is the fall of Borgien, the foremost territory.

Afterwards, all sorts of unexpected situations and crises are created due to the enemies whose attack routes have been increased through Borghien.

That puts Chris and Serena in danger.

The last was the simultaneous movements of the black magicians.

Honestly, it depends on the situation every time, so I can’t pinpoint it.

However, at some point, Diene faces a serious crisis due to black magicians who openly intervene in the war.

“Where are you from?”

“This is Adrias Cromwell, who contacted me earlier to come.”

After taking Suitu’s body, I went straight to Claudia.

I couldn’t afford to announce my life and death because I couldn’t delay it even for an hour to proceed as planned.

“Greetings Mr. K. Cromwell! Please come in.”

After checking my seal and the correspondence from Count Mayton, Claudia’s servant lowered his head.

Soon after, I was escorted to the drawing room, and I managed my expression, feeling the tremendous consumption of magical energy.

Soon there was a commotion outside and someone opened the door and came in.

“Meet Your Excellency Claudia.”

“hmm. Are you a Cromwell official?”

He was a gentleman with gray hair neatly brushed back.

He came up to me, took the Earl of Mayton’s letter, and began to read it right there.

“I was a little surprised. Actually, I just got a call from Mayton.”

He said, still not taking his eyes off the letter.

“You were attacked on the way? I thought there would be a big problem with you, and it wasn’t a fuss, but you’re all right.”

“I was lucky.”

I tried to focus on the conversation with Marquis Claudia, but it was a bit overwhelming.

If it wasn’t for the original sin and the characteristics of the bowl, he could feel the amount of mana consumed that made him look pale.

“I heard that the other person was a Master of Aura?”

“Fortunately, it wasn’t. Thanks to you, I was able to get away with it.”

“Hmm. is it.”

The Marquis, whose intentions were unknown, folded it and put it in his bosom, as if he had read all the correspondence.

“Anyway, welcome here. I have heard of the performance you made in Mayton, so I have high expectations.”

“I will not disappoint you.”

“okay. Your complexion doesn’t look good. It must have been hard escaping the enemy’s pursuit, so stop and rest now. I’ll keep in touch with Mayton.”

“Thank you, sir.”

I immediately bowed my head and got up from my seat.

As soon as I left the Marquis’ gaze behind me and entered the room where I was to stay with the help of a servant, I immediately collapsed onto the bed.

‘It’s been a while.’

After absorbing the original sin, he had never felt a lack of mana.

It had a mana recovery rate that was appropriate for the expression crazy, so I thought mana was like sea water that never faded….

‘Nickel.’

Nickel, connected to me, was waiting just in time.

When he felt it with his senses, Borgien was surprisingly holding up well.

And it was possible to confirm that there was a female knight in the center.

‘Vivian?’

Originally, Borghien, which should have collapsed at this point, was holding on.

This was thanks to the small number of reinforcements that arrived midway through the battle.

‘I didn’t know that Vivian would arrive at Borgien…….’

It seemed like he could block it without any problems.

For now, they decided to postpone the input of nickel and observe the situation.

**

The battle was fiercer than ever.

Borgijen’s men, realizing that this might be their last battle, held off the enemy with all their might.

Behind them are their homes and their families.

“The troops at the West Gate have turned to the North Gate!”

“Call reinforcements to the preamble!”

As if God had taken care of them, reinforcements arrived from the rear just as the battle began.

Although there were few people in the advance team, they were talented humanities.

Seoguk-

And the person who stands out the most is the woman in red armor who appears to be a female knight.

Her normally white armor was stained with the blood of her enemies.

“Knight! Can you help with the preface right now?”

“huh.”

Vivian, the female knight who caught her breath for a moment, nodded.

He wore a helmet to hide his face, so he couldn’t see his expression, but he didn’t look unreasonable.

“An enemy captain has appeared! introduction! It is on the wall of the West Gate!”

Shortly after Vivian’s call, the news of the Aura Master’s appearance engulfed the battlefield.

The enemy captain who had withdrawn while killing countless knights.

It was a monster that showed no signs of getting tired even while dealing with dozens of knights alone.

“Knight. The opponent is an Auror Master. You have to be careful.”

“huh.”

aura master.

Vivian had no feelings for the word.

The reason he wielded the sword was not because of his strength.

Since the sword was only for one person, the title of superman did not resonate too much.

Tadak!

Vivian, who ran to the west gate so lightly that she couldn’t believe she was wearing heavy armor, soon found the giant surrounded by Borgijen’s knights.

“Play is over now, kids.”

The opponent’s aura technique that was used right away was bizarre.

His huge sword suddenly changed its shape and became like a beast’s snout, chewing up a whole knight.

“Stop it!”

“Aaaaaaa!”

Even when their comrades were dying, the knights of Borgien bravely stood up to their opponents.

However, his aura Biggi moved as if he were alive, blocking the knights’ attacks and counterattacking.

“The small pikes are dragons.”

Along with the bleak horse, his aura Biggi in the shape of a wolf’s head started biting all over the place.

Kwajik!

“Gagging.”

Among the helplessly pushed knights, Vivian approached.

The knights, who showed despair in front of the Aura Master’s power, looked at Vivian.

“Back off. I will deal with you.”

“We are not backing down. Even if I die, I will stop it.”

The knight, helpless but unwilling to flee, shouted.

Seeing him like that, Vivian quietly looked away.

“Do whatever you feel like. I can’t protect you.”

If it was Adrias, he would have protected it…

Suddenly, he recalled the face he missed and stepped forward holding his sword.

The opponent swung a sword at Vivian without question and answer.

The huge wolf’s muzzle came close to Vivian and she took a stand.

Kwaaaaang—–!

With the heavy drinking, Vivian was pushed back.

However, unlike the other knights, the situation properly blocked the attack.

“Are you finally a decent guy?”

The giant, dripping with lifeless spirit, murmured.

He could see that the attack from earlier hadn’t worked at all.

“I haven’t seen anyone who can properly block my attacks, but it looks like they’re new. But unless you are a great warrior, it has no meaning.”

Vivian did not respond to the giant’s words.

He was just quietly holding his sword and maintaining his posture.

“A silent warrior.”

Soon the wolf’s shape wriggled again.

A second attack arrives and Vivian is pushed back with a heavy drink once more.

Aaaaang —–!

The giant’s eyebrows twitched.

This time, even though it was a well-prepared blow, when I felt that the result did not change, I realized that my opponent was not normal.

Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

“Aww! You blocked the preamble!”

“It’s the enemy’s whistle! Enemies retreat!”

Geohan, who was trying to relax properly, looked around in a sudden situation.

A whistle that never gave an order.

And that meant that a commanding authority other than himself had begun to act.

“Sorry.”

The giant glanced at Vivian and threw himself down the wall.

As the Aura Master disappeared, the knights who were with him cheered.

“I blocked it! You blocked it again!”

“Now reinforcements will arrive! We did it!”

Amid cheers of joy, Vivian wondered.

A signal to retreat that resonated even though the situation was not at all unfavorable to the opponent.

And the unknown smile of the enemy Auror Master before he went down the rampart.

“It’s not over yet.”

Vivian spoke, but no one listened.

And finally, Vivian’s worries became a reality.

Kudeuk-

“Huh?”

Someone sensed an anomaly and beckoned for something.

But the gesture was too late.

hooked!

“Cheuk.”

The corpse that had been lying a moment ago stood up and stabbed the sword.

And such spectacles took place in all places where there were corpses.

“The undead!”

“Black Mage! It’s a necromancer!”

Borgijen was confused by the emergency that occurred before he could even relax.

Not only the corpses that rose up on the wall and started attacking, but also the mountains of corpses that had not been cleaned up for days outside the wall became undead and began to stand up.

“Ha ha ha ha…….”

Someone laughed as if they had lost their minds at the sight.

“This… can’t be beat.”

“I barely blocked it, but this time it’s undead?”

Everyone collapsed in despair.

There were even people who accepted the attacks of the undead created on the wall without resistance.

“Everyone wake up! Remember that when you die, you become undead again! Will you play into the hands of your enemies even if you die!”

Magner, the commander, tried to shout, but to no avail.

Borghien’s morale was already at rock bottom, and he seemed to have no strength to fight any longer.

Watching the scene, Vivian put strength into the hand holding the sword.

“Adrias.”

I couldn’t die here.

I didn’t come swinging my sword to die in a place like this.

The place where he should die is next to Adrias.

She wanted to be his sword.

puck!

Vivian’s commitment soon showed up in her actions.

While everyone was struggling in despair, she stepped forward and began to eliminate the undead.

“It’s no use. There must be thousands, if not tens of thousands, of corpses piled up in the meantime. We lost.”

Someone’s laments were heard, but she didn’t care.

Just swing the sword as best as you can and pulverize the enemies.

‘I’m not dying here.’

She became a small spark.

At first, the people who were filled with only despair began to focus on her eyes as she wiped out all the undead on the wall.

“Calm down, you guys! That article is a kid who hasn’t even graduated from the academy yet! Do you want to become guys worse than a kid like that!”

Magner also vigorously swung his greatsword and smashed the undead.

And finally he threw himself down the wall himself.

“All dressed up!”

“Sir Magner!”

Surprised by his actions, their spirits began to rise as they watched Magner struggle against the undead.

“okay. Grab anything that dies anyway and die.”

“Fuck you! I go too!”

The gates began to open.

Then, regardless of knights and soldiers, you and I went out and started to commit suicide-like attacks.

“Kill! Break even one more!”

“I already broke three! I do my part and go!”

In the venomous resistance, the area in front of the preamble became an abyss.

Vivian also jumped on board and lost consciousness, swinging her sword in a trance.

Bubbubuck!

Watching the undead disappear with tremendous momentum, the soldiers admired.

However, the endless swarm of undead eventually broke his momentum.

“Keuk.”

“mother! mother!”

There was a military gap that Vivian and Magner could not bridge no matter how hard they tried.

People died and the undead began to fill the place.

“It’s over.”

Someone’s murmur was trampled by the undead.

There was no more hope or spark left.

“done. We’re done.”

“for a moment. What is that?”

Someone’s gaze was directed to the hill a little away from the castle wall.

“what? Undead again?”

“It’s really over.”

The ones that appeared on the hill were undead with completely new appearances.

And in front of them, a swordsman in a strange costume wearing a mask stood with his arms crossed.

“That looks odd. Haha…….”

“Those new guys suddenly help us?”

Soon, the undead standing on top of the hill started running.

Although the number of undead running with tremendous momentum was as small as a few hundred, the momentum was intense unlike ordinary undead.

Above all, the swordsman of the mask running in front was the highlight.

The long-handled sword was held in the swordsman’s hand as he ran forward, dripping with blue demons.

Soon after, let’s get them to the battlefield

.

Bones and flesh flew into the air.

“what?”

“What the hell is that…?”

The Borghien people did not realize the reality that was happening in front of their eyes.

And soon, their doubts, which seemed to be dreaming, gradually turned to astonishment.

“Undead! They are fighting each other!”

“What is this ……”

In the middle of the battlefield, an undead war was taking place.
