Necromancer’s Evolutionary Traits - Chapter 257

The strongest necromancer by evolution trait (257)

Adrias’ vacancy

“move away.”

A calm but cool voice flew in sharply.

However, the opponent did not budge.

“Vivian… … .”

“Move.”

Vivian revealed her will to live for Namgoong Ilyoung, who stood in her way.

Diene, who was anxiously watching him, tried hard to stop Vivian.

“Vivian Adrias is sure to be all right. Calm down now… … .”

“Adrias was taken because of me.”

Vivian seemed unwilling to bend.

“I decided to keep it, but I was kept. I am… … .”

The shimmering life mixed with mana gradually began to form.

Namgoong Ilyoung, who had been watching the scene, sighed.

“ha.”

an imminent situation.

Unexpectedly, Ilyoung Namgung moved first.

Whoo!

Ilyeong Namgung, who appeared in front of Vivian in an instant, leaving an afterimage as if her body had been stretched in two, swung her sword.

Lee Hyeong-hwan-wi using the royal palace.

Vivian calmly responded to the sudden appearance of Ilyeong Namgung without panicking.

Skan!

“It’s a little annoying, but I’ll deal with him until he comes out.”

“I will kill you and pass you by.”

“If you can, do it.”

Brilliant——-!

In an instant, the surroundings were devastated with intense momentum.

Diene used protection magic around her and couldn’t hide her troubles.

“How come this… … .”

The first floor was all black.

An abnormal phenomenon that started suddenly from a certain moment.

According to Vivian, an unknown figure suddenly appeared, killed people, and poured out black liquid, but the cause has not yet been identified.

‘One thing is for sure, it’s something I can’t solve.’

The black substance that covered the entire first floor wriggled as if it were alive.

The black thing that devours people the moment it touches and turns them into idiots is barely damaged by Namgung Ilyeong’s sword and is immune to Diene’s magic.

The reason they can survive now is thanks to the beasts and immortals.

“It finally started.”

Someone came to Diane’s side.

It was an immortal Melato with impressive hair that looked like it was made of twisted wire.

“Aren’t you going to stop?”

“I tried to dry it, but to no avail. And it wasn’t something that could be solved by drying it.”

“Thanks to us, the normal guys are comfortable with speed.”

Diene was a little annoyed by Melato’s words, but kept her mouth shut.

He wasn’t wrong. In fact, this place was now being guarded by Diene’s magical immortal skills and the power of the beastman tribe shaman.

Quarreung!

The battle was gradually intensifying.

Gradually, Diane was also looking at the angle to get in the middle, when Vivian finally jumped out.

“Kuk.”

The sight of Vivian biting her teeth in resentment was devastating.

However, Ilyoung Namgung, who was dealing with her, looked so fine that it could not be said that she had fought a battle at all.

“It’s a pity, but there’s no hope of killing me with that skill.”

“Move.”

“It’s just beautiful, but it’s stupid. Is there any guarantee that you will be able to meet Adrias if you get eaten by that black thing?”

“… … Move.”

Vivian ran again.

So the fight lasted for three days.

Because the difference in skill was so stark, those who were worried gradually lost interest, and in proportion to that, Vivian’s complexion gradually became emaciated.

“Vivian! stop now Then you really die!”

Diene, who tried to take care of her by bringing food every day, eventually stopped Vivian.

However, Vivian, emaciated from swinging her sword without touching anything for several days, shook her head.

“no. I decided to protect Adrias.”

“Why did Adrias save only you? Do you think he will like this?”

“I… … I decided to protect Adrias… … .”

Eventually, Vivian collapsed.

Namgoong Ilyoung silently inserted the sword while watching Vivian sit down and leave.

Then, he took a bottle of alcohol brought by his subordinate who was waiting for him and said while drinking.

“The first person the monster killed was a colleague who had been with me all my life. A close friend who has been by my side since I was a toddler.”

A bitter smile crept across his lips.

“I’m not trying to dilute your sadness. Just like your friend said, shouldn’t you avoid dog death? We must live meaningfully even for those who sacrificed for us.”

“Adrias is not dead.”

“okay. I don’t even know life. So believe in him in whom you believe. I don’t know when this phenomenon will end, but for now, I have no choice but to believe and endure.”

Water droplets formed around Vivian’s eyes.

Diene hugged Vivian as she watched the tears flow.

“are you okay. Adrias will be alive. As always.”

“Huh… … Because of me, because of me, Adrias… … I said I’d protect you… … .”

“why are you crying! don’t cry. Will you be alive?”

Emotions quickly became contagious.

Vivian’s crying eventually made Diene’s eyes red.

“Why is that idiot dying! I’m sure he’ll show up out of nowhere and pretend to be proud.”

“Yes. It will. Adrias will.”

Watching the two women cry, Namgung Ilyoung quietly moved to her seat.

As he walked, he lifted the bottle he was holding upside down, poured it on the ground, and murmured quietly.

“I had a hard time taking care of such an ugly boy.”

Of course, in a foreign country that is not even my hometown… … .

Namgung Ilyoung felt regret for the first time after entering the tower.

Even if he had been a little more diligent, Gu-yeol would have been alive if he had left the tower quickly in the first place.

“Even at the state of hwagyeong, you can’t throw away human emotions.”

People around him were vaguely evasive, saying that he was in the middle of nowhere, but his skills were already more than that.

If you go back to Moorim right now, it’s a level that even the best person in the world can aim at.

But it meant nothing to him now.

It was all about quietly expressing condolences for the death of a close friend.

* * *

The dukes of Rodlene, who had been together for the first time in a while, sat with hardened expressions.

Hector, who was also the organizer of this convocation, spoke first.

“Bahat Alven, so you’re saying this has nothing to do with magic?”

“We have already communicated it through contact, but it is beyond our ability to detect. You will be contacted from Portrion soon, so wait until then.”

“The reputation of being the best magic tower on the continent is insignificant.”

“What did you say? You want to die?”

Sinclair intervened heavily between the two, whose emotions quickly flared up.

“stop. Now is not the time to fight among ourselves. Wasn’t this gathering to discuss countermeasures?”

“You’re right, but can we solve that by discussing it?”

said Minus, looking out the window.

It was dark outside the window. What is unusual is that it is so dark that even the moonlight does not shine.

The eclipse was not over.

“I have to do something. For now, security is strengthened, and mana lights are installed on the road leading to the capital… … .”

“The mana lamp was installed with someone’s money. Everyone is doing well in strengthening security, but it wasn’t a fuss here and there. I heard that fanatics in particular go wild like that?”

“If you are the Duke of Minus, act right. It’s always like that, so the words come out.”

Minus laughed at Hector’s point.

However, he didn’t bother to answer, he only raised the corner of his mouth strangely.

“Hey, my head hurts. Are you saying you can’t stand the bird and fight?”

Eventually, Sinclair sighed and stood up.

Hector, who had been glaring at Minus for a long time, shouted at Sinclair.

“Where are you going? Just arrived.”

“As I said, I will take care of the security. That would be more constructive than being here.”

“No, but since we’ve come this far, please discuss it and go.”

In the unorganized conference hall, Bahat suddenly searched for his clothes.

And seeing that the signal came to the artifact he took out, he connected mana.

-iced coffee. Are you the lord of Bahat’s tower?

“okay.”

The opponent was Portion’s Devourer.

In an instant, the eyes of the rest of the dukes turned to Bahat.

– You waited a long time. Actually, it was not easy for us to identify the phenomenon of this incident, so it took some time. ah! I also received help from the Rodelian Tower. Thanks to you, I was able to finish it quickly.

“So what are the results?”

―It has been identified as a mana phenomenon. In other words, it is not a natural phenomenon.

“It sucks.”

Bahat frowned.

Even if it was a natural phenomenon, it was not an ordinary thing, but the mana phenomenon had to be quite complicated.

In the end, the mana phenomenon is divided into whether someone did it artificially or just naturally, and it took time to figure it out.

“What does Maxwell say? Could it be that you haven’t come back yet?”

-Yes that’s right.

“Couldn’t Maxwell have done this?”

– No way. No matter how much Maxwell is, it is impossible to create a phenomenon like this with individual power. Not even for a while.

It was close to impossible to sustain an eclipse that covered the sun for three days with one’s own power.

Bahat knew that, but he doubted that Maxwell had led other wizards to commit such an absurd act.

―For now, the investigation and research will continue. Reports are posted every day.

“I get it.”

Soon, contact was cut off and the three dukes stared at Bahat.

“What are you looking at! Put them all together.”

“So this is not a natural phenomenon, but caused by mana?”

“okay.”

Bahat sighed and looked up at the sun.

The black sun was not shining.

“A mana anomaly or a magical power created by someone.”

“Crazy. Both are no joke.”

Hearing Bahat’s words, Minus showed irritation on his face.

It was clear that there would be setbacks in the business, so I got up feeling uncomfortable in many ways.

“First of all, the cause has been identified, so let’s take care of each other.”

“Discussions on other issues of Minus should also take place. Have a seat.”

“I’m sorry, but I’m in a hurry. I came across this by chance while passing by. Would you mind leaving me a message after the discussion ends? Whatever you ask me to do, I will do everything without refusal.”

“Huh. Is there anything more urgent than this?”

“I called from the imperial palace.”

“The imperial palace?”

Hector looked at Minus with a look on his face asking what he was talking about.

“Did you not know? I thought, of course, that the chancellor would know. Anyway, let’s get up first.”

Minus walked out of the conference room without answering.

Bahat and Sinclair clicked their tongues or were absorbed in other thoughts, but Hector glared at the spot where Minus had left with an expression of disbelief.

“Minus at the imperial palace?”

“You can call me, what are you talking about? Let’s hurry up and have a meeting and disperse.”

Bahat said it insignificantly, but Hector didn’t.

Most of the great and small in the imperial palace passed him by, the chancellor, so there was almost nothing he did not know about.

Even more so, if it was a matter that required the duke Minus to be summoned from the imperial palace, of course he should have known about it.

‘Lying? Or really I don’t know…’ … .’

If Minus was really called by the imperial palace without realizing it, it meant that it was out of control.

The winds of change were blowing in the imperial palace as well.
