Necromancer’s Evolutionary Traits - Chapter 208

[ Episode 208. Conflicting fate ]

“No matter how many mistakes there were, they make absurd excuses.”

The gateway fortress of the Northern Mountains, called the Gorge of Wailing, became a gathering place for barbarians.

And some warlocks from the assembly that support those barbarians were also staying here.

“It is true! The mercenary soldier and the bone dragon that suddenly appeared wiped out all the undead I raised up!”

“Dragon disease? Bone Dragon? Did you go to the battlefield in a dream, or did you go crazy from the shock of defeat?”

“The savage tribes that were with them also watched closely. If you don’t believe me, why don’t you check it out right away!”

Quenton raised his voice in frustration.

Known for being cool and calm, it wasn’t common for him to get this hot, so the warlocks with him watched the conversation with interest.

Koma, the black magician of the Aika faction who had been chasing Quenton, sneered.

“I have already heard of it. They made people talk nonsense about seeing a god in case they weren’t barbarians.”

“That god was the Bone Dragon I just talked about. And I can’t believe it, but there are ghouls that look like they’re made of giants.”

“……Are you really all right?”

“Because it’s true!”

“no no. Since you and no one else are necromancers, you shouldn’t know that well. Do you really see that as possible undead? Nothing else, but what a dragon and a giant ghoul? Dragon soldiers are ridiculous. If that is true, then who the hell is ministering to them?”

“I do not know either.”

When Quenton said with a hard complexion, Coma said as if to look.

“Most of the necromancers in this world don’t you know? If you don’t know, who the hell knows? If there is a necromancer capable of serving such undead, at least you shouldn’t know about it, right?”

“I’m guessing it might be Pissy Keller.”

“The bouncer? Do you really think so?”

Quenton couldn’t open his mouth at Coma’s aggressive tone.

In fact, if Paishi was ministering to such undead, he couldn’t have known.

Although she was a neutral necromancer, she was also a black magician with the same roots.

It’s not that there was no exchange, and if she had that kind of power from the beginning, she would have created her own faction instead of being neutral.

‘Then, who the hell is that……’

The immutable Harungel, a necromancer who made his name known in history, was at least reincarnated.

Quenton was not aware of his opponent’s identity, but he couldn’t keep his cool because of the deep sense of defeat that swept over his body.

I didn’t see it wrong.

The opponent’s undead is definitely a Bone Dragon.

However, Quenton did not have the confidence to turn the dragon’s corpse into an undead even if it was in front of his eyes.

The sense of defeat looming over the gap rather angered him.

“I will go again.”

“what? To Borgijen?”

“okay.”

“Reinforcements have already arrived in Borgien. Besides, they say that the Sun Knights have also joined the reinforcements. I’d rather go somewhere else.”

“Shut up. Who are you to give me orders? I’m the head disciple of Dwalski, who doesn’t know! If I’m going to attack Borghien, I’m attacking it because you and the like dare to stop it?”

“I lost my temper. do whatever you want. However, I will penalize you at the meeting for this failure, so behave yourself.”

Coma shook his head and left.

And the other warlocks who were watching the scene also laughed at the appearance of Quenton’s madness and disappeared.

However, Quenton muttered, not paying attention to the reaction of those around him.

“Bone Dragon……. Yes, I kill the sorcerer and rob him, that’s it.”

In fact, it was almost impossible to rob a familiar that would disappear if the magician was killed.

However, Quenton thought it would be possible enough with the items he obtained while dealing with his brother-in-law, Mogul and Aslan.

“wait.”

Quenton’s face bore a gruesome murderous look.

Phione was on an unexpected journey.

After receiving the news that Adrias was safe from the Claudia Marquis family, he tried to go there, but he ended up coming to Borgien, the frontier territory, with the Sun Knights, who happened to be involved.

‘How did this happen?’

It was a situation that could only be seen as being really mad.

The only good news is that Adrias is alive.

According to his letter, the enemy was not an Auror Master.

In fact, it would have made sense for Adrias to be alive only if the enemy wasn’t an Auror Master…

‘Is there something?’

There were a few odd corners.

It wasn’t something I could pinpoint and say, so I was just leaving it as a question.

“Pione Ardi.”

As soon as I arrived here, I saw Vivian Velokan calling me.

“Yes, senior.”

“Tell me.”

The woman I met upon arrival the day before immediately asked only about Adrias.

From the question of whether he came with him to the question of whether he was injured or if there was any problem, he was choked up by the constant questioning.

So, I was exhausted, so I came out saying that I would talk to him the next day, but when I saw her waiting at the dinner table, I was stunned.

“I don’t even know the current situation. As I said briefly yesterday, I only heard that Adrias is at Claudia and that he is fine.”

“how was it?”

“yes? What?”

“You kept following me. I heard that Adrias played for Mayton.”

“Yes, it was. It was just plain awesome. There is no need to say more than that.”

“Ah…”

Pione, who was slightly suspicious of whether her performance in Mayton was also made with the information from the rally, had nothing else to say.

She changed the subject, thinking that if she continued, she would only get questions about Adrias.

“Anyway, I heard on the way here, but I heard it was a big deal here too?”

“huh. It was a monster battle.”

“Kaiju Kaiju War?”

Pione, who checked once again to see if Vivian’s words were correct, was able to nod her head at Vivian’s words.

“The huge undead helped. And the little undead too.”

“I couldn’t believe it when I heard it. It wasn’t enough that the warlocks showed up in earnest, so they fought each other…….”

“Do you still like Adrias?”

She had barely changed the subject, but Vivian’s question suddenly came in, causing Pione to break out in a sweat.

“Sure. I also saw the performance of seniors firsthand…….”

“……Yes. Adrias is cool.”

Looking at Vivian muttering resignedly, Pione asked in case she wanted to.

“Do you like Vivian sunbaenim too?”

“huh.”

When the immediate answer came, Pione, rather surprised, asked cautiously.

“I also said that I like Adrias sunbae-nim, is that okay?”

“I can’t help it. Because I can’t stop someone’s feelings just because I block them.”

Fione nodded at her words, which seemed to be liberated.

“That’s right.”

“Besides, Adrias chose you and not me.”

Fione, who looked expressionless but read the deep sadness in her eyes, muttered quietly.

“That too. Because Adrias-senpai chose me and took me with him.”

Fione was taken aback by the words that came out of her mouth.

He had no intention of provoking Vivian, and the words that came out were words that even he himself could not understand.

“……huh.”

Vivian didn’t deny it, nodded slowly, and stood up.

“Since I finished eating, I will wake up first.”

“Yes, sir. Please go in.”

When Vivian, who looked bitter for some reason, left, Pione, who was left alone, tilted her head.

‘Why did I do that?’

Words spoken like a defense mechanism.

As if he didn’t want Adrias taken away…

“That can’t be.”

I shook my head in denial.

We’ve only been together for a few days.

Besides, there was never a time when they thought of each other with reason.

Thinking that it was just a whim of a bad personality, Pione finished the meal.

**

It was already the third day since I arrived in Claudia.

And in the meantime, I was very happy to hear that Pione had left for Borgienne, not where I was, as luck would have it.

“You’re lucky.”

He was obviously lucky considering only Pione, but there was an unexpected guest here.

“What do you mean lucky?”

Honen approached me pretending to be friendly.

Obviously, this guy had other business, but that wasn’t the case now…….

“It’s nothing. Did you eat more than that?”

“of course! I wake up early in the morning and warm up. Aren’t you too lazy for that? I don’t know how you got the title of monster while being so lazy.”

Mutu’s Honen.

No, this man who would be called the Immortal Harness was the man who would later join the Zefar Order and become Zefar’s incarnation.

“Rather than that, it’s boring because it’s quieter than I thought, saying it’s the front. Now that it’s come to this, why don’t you have a sparring with me?”

He hesitated for a moment at Honen’s suggestion.

He’s a powerful villain who will definitely become a troublemaker in the future.

But would killing him now be the answer?

He is definitely a guest invited to Rodlen Academy and a mercenary who fights for the empire.

Maybe killing him won’t end as normal.

‘But…’

There weren’t many more opportunities.

Rather, meeting him here, who did not return to his home country, could have been his last chance.

If he misses this opportunity, it is natural for him to become a powerful villain.

“Your complexion isn’t looking good lately, so it looks like you got a shot at Mayton. haha! Asking for sparring against the weak is not something a big man would do. I won’t back down today.”

“no.”

I shook my head with a pale complexion because I had still summoned Nickel and the mercenary soldiers.

“Do it. Dalian.”

“Oh oh? Are you really okay? You look like you’re going to lose without even using your strength?”

“Don’t worry, I can beat you.”

When I answered with a smile, an arc was drawn at the corner of Honen’s mouth.

“okay? If so, I’m looking forward to it. FYI, I have never lost at Millennium Academy.”

“Is that so.”

“okay. So I can’t wait to see how strong the rumored monster is. Besides, I heard that he was also active in Mayton this time, but I hope that is true.”

Honen’s words were heard with one ear and let out with the other.

I’ve already made up my mind.

He wasn’t one to listen to the soon-to-be-dead man.

‘He hasn’t become a villain yet…’

There was no remorse.

If there was such a thing in the first place, I should apologize to all the characters I have killed so far.

“Then shall we go to the gymnasium?”

“I see.”

From now on, I kill Honen, the future villain.
