Necromancer’s Evolutionary Traits - Chapter 289
[ Episode 289. Hidden Peace and Evolution]
After coming out of the palace grounds, Vivian and I headed north.
Since we came up from the south, it was an unknown land to the north of the palace.
Even though it was an unknown land, the scenery did not change.
There were still cute houses and various medieval-style buildings, and the undead roaming the streets were lined up.
Quick!
Vivian paved the way for an instant before I could move.
Even when I tried to use magic to help, he shook his head and blocked it.
“I am the escort driver.”
I didn’t know what the hell that had to do with my current situation, but since she wanted it, I decided to leave it alone. At least there was no enemy around here that would put her in danger unless it was the amount of money caused by the wave.
‘There he is.’
As I continued walking towards the north, I finally found the building I was looking for.
The building, which looked unusual at first glance, was a long cylindrical tower.
It looked and felt like a prison, but he said to Vivian, conscious of the statue in his arms.
“Come to think of it, I’ve never searched the inside of the building.”
“huh. Shall we look around?”
“I’m a bit concerned about that building. How is it?”
Seeing the building I pointed at, Vivian nodded indifferently.
“huh. let’s go.”
The size is large, but unlike the other buildings, it is all gray, which makes it even more suspicious.
Even without the statue he had obtained from Mejour, it was one of the many undead hunting grounds for honey.
-Quarreuk.
As we approached the front of the building, unlike other places, we saw elite undead guarding the entrance.
The two Undead, who looked like skeleton warriors, looked like they were guards here in their lifetime, holding up their spears.
‘But for Vivian…’
Before I could finish my thoughts, Vivian ran out and hacked the Skeleton Warrior to pieces.
It is ambiguous to call it a quick sword, and it is also ambiguous to call it a phantom sword.
Should I call it a lightsaber?
Squeak- Vivian,
who had dealt with the Skeleton Warriors in an instant, picked up a piece of stone.
Then he came up to me with gunfire and handed it to me.
“A lot came out.”
“yes.”
My current role is just a porter.
The space expansion bag the mercenary was carrying was taken out and tied to his back.
“Let’s go in.”
“huh.”
The tightly closed door was broken with force.
Then the undead inside looked at us all at once.
It’s a creepy show.
“A lot. I can collect a lot.”
Seeing the undead like that, Vivian jumped out with a feeling that it was rather good.
Soon, a sword dance blew and the undead inside the entrance were quickly cleaned up.
The first floor looked like a large hall, but if you looked around, there were rows of iron bars wrapped around it.
Even inside the cages, the undead were having seizures, and the way they stretched out their hands while watching us was impressive.
“Shall we go up?”
After collecting the fragments, Vivian looked up and said.
As it is a tall building, anyone would think of going up, but our destination was not above.
“wait a minute.”
I went somewhere as if I had found something.
It was in the middle of this hall, and there were two thin pillars reaching up to my chest.
And a familiar statue was placed on one side, and the other side was empty.
“This……”
Vivian also pointed at the statue and looked at me.
I took out the statue I bought from Mejour from my bosom and naturally placed it on top of the pillar.
Koo Goo Goo!
The sound of machinery operating echoed and the ground began to shake.
Soon, the pillars on which the statue was placed went down to the ground, revealing the stairs leading to the basement.
“It’s a coincidence.”
“…….”
Vivian nodded, looking down the stairs in silence.
Now, it seems that no matter what I do, I am not surprised.
‘It’s good if you shake everything off the top too…….’
There were many things to benefit from going upstairs.
There were many undead, as well as antiques from the ancient era that could be brought and sold here and there, but they decided to go down quickly because they had set a 12-hour appointment.
“Shall we go down?”
“huh. I’ll go first.”
I could see Vivian’s face hardening at the sticky energy that slowly rose up.
She chose a posture and position to escort me, and slowly moved forward.
Flash!
When I cast light magic, the surroundings became brighter.
The stairs were connected around the cylindrical building, and since it was such a large building, the side of the stairs felt like a cliff.
And even with my powerful light magic, the light couldn’t reach the floor.
I mean it’s so wide and deep.
-Hee hee hee…….
Half way down, the signal finally came.
Before the eerie laughter, I could confirm that Vivian’s arms had grown chicken skin as she walked.
“are you okay. It’s probably a banshee.”
When I spoke calmly from behind, Vivian, who had stopped before I knew it, started going down again.
“……I was just wary.”
“yes?”
“I wasn’t scared, I just looked around. So I stopped.”
On the way down, I tilted my head at Vivian’s sudden words.
Could it be that you just made an excuse for stopping?
“……Nothing. forget it.”
He seemed to feel that he had made an excuse, so he turned around again.
The unexpected appearance made me wonder if Vivian was afraid of ghosts.
I remember that it wasn’t like that……
Especially when I think about what I and I went through in the barrier of sloth, I remember that she wasn’t afraid of ghost-like beings.
“Vivian?”
“huh?”
Vivian’s condition was a little strange.
The chicken meat that had sprouted was still there, and I could feel my body trembling slightly.
I wonder if this is……
‘a side effect of the island.’
A mana anomaly that amplifies emotions.
To prevent him, a necklace-shaped artifact was also produced, but it did not seem to be able to completely block it.
Vivian was already breaking out in a cold sweat and her complexion was turning blue, but despite this, she was walking steadfastly, blocking my path.
“Vivian, stop it.”
“huh.”
She stopped, listening to me obediently.
It was pitiful to see her in a cold sweat.
“If there is something wrong, you have to tell me right away. You know?”
“huh.”
“First, take this medicine.”
I handed over the potion the size of a fingernail that I had made beforehand.
When I was playing Agatha, what bothered me the most was this anomaly, not an undead or a wave.
I felt rather great because I could guess how great the feeling of fear Vivian was feeling.
‘Did he take the lead without showing off for me even in that state?’
My heart is pounding.
Vivian drank the potion I gave her, and soon her complexion began to return.
Fortunately, there seemed to be nothing wrong this time, but I don’t know when the abnormality will appear again, so I handed several potions in advance.
“You have it. If something feels strange, eat it right away.”
“thank you.”
Vivian spoke calmly, but her expression was not good.
Do you think it has become a burden?
Rather, I smiled at her.
“Thank you as always, Vivian.”
“huh?”
“If it wasn’t for Vivian, I wouldn’t have come this far.”
As I softly held her hand and spoke, I could see her face turning red for some reason.
Seeing Vivian’s face blush because I already knew what her feelings were for me, I felt embarrassed for no reason and let go of my hand.
“……More……”
“Yes?”
“Hold more.”
Vivian, who appeared to be hesitating but spoke clearly, took my hand first.
“Give me more thanks. Say you need me.”
“Yes, I will do a lot.”
It was the first time seeing Vivian fooling around, so it was fresh.
I was happy because I was able to see a side of her that I didn’t know.
“Thank you for being by my side. Vivian is one of the most precious people to me.”
“huh.”
It was embarrassing to say it, but whatever.
As long as Vivian is happy, that’s okay.
So we stood still for a while and had a conversation.
**
Finally, after coming down to the floor, we checked our surroundings while maintaining a friendly atmosphere.
As it was a space without light, my light magic was essential, but the blurry flying banshees caught my eye.
‘There’s no need to touch Banshee.’
It was a monster that didn’t even drop a piece of stone and would only get tired if touched.
And as there was still a long way to go, there was no need to strain from the beginning.
“It’s rare.”
The space we walked through was a long cave.
When I came down to the bottom, I found this cave, and since this was the only road, this was the only place I had to go.
“ah!”
“I will prepare.”
As we walked along the huge cave, we immediately prepared for battle when we suddenly felt a lot of people on both sides.
And as I had originally expected, the undead started pouring out from both sides of the cave.
-Guwaaaaaagh!
-Grrrr.
Each of them are elite undead.
Besides, the quantity was very large.
“I will summon the undead.”
“huh.”
I had already confessed that I was a warlock after coming out of the tower, so there was nothing to hold back.
Vivian, on the contrary, was delighted to know my secret.
‘Seeing it in person, it’s powerful.’
The number of undead pouring out was disgusting.
Even for Vivian and I, it was unreasonable to deal with such a number without any loss.
When I played Agatha, there were casualties even if I brought all the members, so it was natural.
Ung—
A jet-black subspace opened and my undead appeared.
-Tadadak!
-Take it!
A little over a hundred dragon soldiers appeared.
All of the damage suffered in the Northern War had been taken back and repairs had been completed.
“If it’s a fight over quantity, I’m confident.”
Dragon soldiers are also a kind of elite undead.
Since the number exceeded one hundred, its majesty was great.
Subsequently, Nickel, Timur, and Mirinae were summoned.
– Khuhuong!
Crackle!
-lol.
Ludo and Krivmacher were not summoned because they were underground.
If even the ceiling collapses, it’s a big deal.
“Break them all.”
At my command, the undead started running out in an instant.
Kwadeuk!
Aww–!
Kwakjijik!
I mean, these are all items. good good
If you clear all of this underground space, which is a hidden piece, you should collect enough stones to get two named items.
Of course, Mejour won’t exchange it.
‘Named items are only allowed to be purchased one per person.’
I thought it was just game balance, but I don’t know how it will be in reality.
Kwajik!
I was too itchy to stay still, so I worked hard to break the undead, and soon the number of enemies decreased noticeably.
After all, it was a quantity for a quantity, and a hundred dragon soldiers was a tremendous force.
Quick!
“end.”
Vivian muttered after taking out the last one left.
I checked the figure and immediately used magic to gather the stone fragments and put them in my bag.
“Adrias is amazing.”
“It’s nothing.”
I still feel it, I’m alone, but I’m not alone.
As a single player, it was stronger than any other playable.
‘Rather, is it a level to compare with the strongest people in the world?’
Tring!
Then a familiar system sound was heard.
[Condition has been met.]
[An object capable of evolution has been found.]
What kind of guy is this time?
But the sound of the system didn’t end there.
Tring! Tring! Tring! T-ring…….
Looking at the system window that instantly fills my field of vision, I hardened my impression.
Looking at it now, this is…….
[38% chance of evolving Dragon Soldiers (Elite)]
[There are 3 branches when evolving.]
[Do you want to evolve?]
A total of 103 Dragon Soldiers.
All evolution possible messages were output.
If it was an urgent battle situation, it would have been very difficult.
‘The potential for evolution has risen quite quickly.’
Knowing that the evolution window appears at 30%, it meant that the previous battle had made it from less than 30% to 38% at once.
Of course, it was different for each individual, but it was roughly between 35 and 40.
“Good good.”
“what?”
“Ah, it meant that it was good because there were a lot of stones.”
“huh. nice.”
There were still many undead to hunt inside.
And in the innermost part, there was a boss mob, the owner of Hidden Peace.
‘If I wipe out all the mercenary soldiers while summoning them, I’ll get all my evolution experience points?’
In the meantime, there was no situation to summon dragon soldiers in large numbers, but it was a good opportunity.
Collect stone fragments, break hidden pieces, evolve dragon soldiers and kill three birds with one stone!
