Necromancer’s Evolutionary Traits - Chapter 333
[ Episode 333. Ouroboros]
In addition to that, there were more restrictions hanging over this space.
-If there is a guy spinning around, be careful.
– If you try to forcefully use magic, your heart will explode.
-If you get away from me, you will wander this space forever. I’m trapped forever anyway.
When I roughly explained the story I had heard so far to the people around me, everyone was dubious.
“How are you able to talk to that thing in the first place? You can’t use magic either, right?”
“It is an innate ability.”
In any case, it seems that he is not a warlock, so he shows his inquisitive spirit even in this situation. And it doesn’t matter whether you believe me or not. As for me, I only needed to save Lucia, Luna Keshrun, and Bahat if I had to.
‘No, it doesn’t matter. If you ignore my words and go to sleep…’
Dream Eaters will appear.
And Dream Eaters are not only harmful to those who sleep, they are dangerous to all living things.
“So to sum it up, you have to be noisy all the time, you can’t sleep, you can’t use magic forcibly, you can’t get away from that snake, and you have to be careful of the one spinning around?”
“There are too many conditions.”
As I listened, I suddenly had a question. Why should I be careful about people spinning round and round? And how are you supposed to be careful?
“For now, we need to get out of here as quickly as possible. Aren’t we going to be able to stay asleep forever?”
Bahat caught the attention of the mumbling crowd.
“After hearing the rough talk, the way to escape must be to kill that snake. What exactly is Adrias?”
“you’re right. According to the snake, this space is maintained by itself, so it will be able to escape if it dies.”
After hearing my words, the Warlocks began to express their opinions again.
“Heo, you are a strange being to talk about your own death so easily. Are you not afraid of death?”
“Maybe I am just as confident as I am. The confidence that we can’t kill that snake. We’re just pathetic old people who can’t even use magic right now. haha.”
I drew my sword while letting the people chatter.
Sureung-
The shining white blade looked sharper than ever.
“Come to think of it, I was able to use the sword.”
“Could it be that the knight’s mana can be used here?”
Hearing people’s murmurs, he blew mana into his sword. The dark aura overflowed, expressing a strong will to pierce the opponent.
“Ohhh?”
“It is a subject worth studying. I would have thought Danjeon’s mana would be fine in a place where the heart’s mana couldn’t be used.”
They are so talkative that you don’t have to worry about the condition that you shouldn’t be quiet.
I just scratched my sword into Ouroboros’ body.
Of course, with the best swordsmanship.
Kwaji Jijik——!
Unbelievable that the swords had collided, a grotesque sound echoed around. An intense repulsion rode the handle of the sword and shook her body.
– Sussut…….
I heard a grotesque laugh from Ouroboros.
I only know that it’s laughter, but I don’t know why he laughs…
‘Failure.’
I expected it to some extent, but Ouroboros’ body was not pierced. It only left a faint mark on the scales that were larger than my body.
– Strong for a human. great?
Listening to Ouroboros’ words, I swung my sword again. I didn’t expect to break through, but it was ambiguous to grasp at once.
‘Can I break through if I use anger?’
The thought crossed her mind for a moment, but using Sin was a last resort. It was not because of side effects or aftereffects, but because there were too many eyes to see.
“It’s too much.”
“Since it is an ancient Transcendental species, it is a natural result. In fact, they are monsters known to be unmatched by humans.”
Having grasped it to some extent, I also stopped attacking.
If I spread my wings and use Sin repeatedly, I was confident that I could somehow pierce it, but I had to think about it after that.
He could have gotten into a fight with Maxwell as soon as he got out. In addition, the repeated use of sin was a last resort, no matter how much the side effects were reduced, it was the same as suicide.
“Adrias, he said killing himself was the way, right?”
“That’s right. He said he would rather kill me.”
While I put the sword back in and caught my breath, Bahat approached me and asked.
“You can’t penetrate it with your own strength, so you’ll have to try a different method. Let’s get into his snout.”
“Are you saying let’s go inside and attack the inside?”
“okay. You said you wanted to kill me anyway? Then the problem is rather easy. Ask him where his head is. We don’t have much time.”
Entering the Ouroboros’ mouth and attacking the inside……
Regardless of whether it was possible, the method Bahat suggested seemed the only one.
“Did you hear the story?”
-What are you talking about?
“I will attack the inside through your mouth. If it stabs you in the heart, you will die eventually.”
-Sud…….
I could feel Ouroboros’ faint emotions.
It was a self-deprecating laugh.
– My head? come if you can If it goes all the way to the left from your line, it’s your head. Susut.
“Why are you reacting like that?”
When asked because it was strange to continue laughing self-deprecatingly, Ouroboros answered meekly.
-Because it is obvious that I will eventually fall asleep after coming to the place where my head is. You don’t think it will take long, do you?
In an instant, cold sweat ran down his back.
It was a snake that looked like a distant wall whose end could not be known just by the height of its body.
Will I be able to get to the snake’s head soon?
“How far away is the head…?”
At my question, the audience fell silent again.
It was not a bad atmosphere, everyone said, let’s start quickly, but I quickly became chilly at my words.
-It’s close. So, I can hear your voice. Wouldn’t it take about 2 months with human steps? Ssssss.
“…….”
2 months.
Even if I ran at full power, it was an impossible distance to run without sleeping.
“How long do you say? Tell me quickly!”
The bison went into a fit and grabbed me by the collar.
I was still confused, but I was restless.
“Bison, stay still!”
“You are not Warlock now, Bison! Do you want to die?”
Fortunately, the people around them tore off the bison and dried it.
And I didn’t mean to hide the answer, so I spit it out right away.
“They say it will take two months.”
“what?”
“It is said that it takes two months on foot.”
When I spoke calmly, people looked at me with expressions as if they had heard it wrong, then looked at Ouroboros.
“Heh heh heh…….”
“That’s a good size. Rather, if you look at that size, it might belong to a nearby axis. haha!”
Did you come true?
Everyone’s reaction was a little spoiled.
“My friend…….”
Then Luna approached and gently grabbed my hand.
“Is there anything I can do to help…?”
“…….”
Thanks to Luna, I realized that there was no time to be flustered. When he turned his head to see Lucia, he noticed that she was not talking, but was trying hard to pretend to be okay.
“I’ll do my best.”
Whatever happens, save these two.
Once again, the strong will was revived.
“Ouroboros.”
-huh?
“I will kill you.”
It sounded a bit absurd, but I spoke confidently.
“So you help us too.”
– It’s fun. Did you say Adrias? self.
Ouroboros smiled lightly.
-What can I do?
“It will be much faster for you to come this way than for us to go. If you arrive until we can hold out, we will kill you as you wish.”
– Ssssss. It was an interesting idea. But there’s a fact you don’t know.
“Are you unable to move?”
– No, I can move. But I’m biting my tail right now. I’ll have to spit out this tail to get to you. And the moment I spit out this tail…
Ouroboros gave up.
Come to think of it, Ouroboros was a figure biting its own tail. What if you spit out your tail?
-The world will crumble.
“yes?”
-Should we say that this space is broken? It’s a different concept from the way space disappears when I die.
“What then?”
– All sorts of strange phenomena will happen. And the dream eaters you mentioned will come in much larger numbers. Maybe not just the Dream Eaters, but the others as well. Susut.
Ouroboros made a sound of interest.
– Will I be able to hold out until my head touches you and you kill me? Seeing that you use a sword, you can hold on, but the people around you will have a hard time.
“You do that.”
other people? I don’t know.
Even if such a worst situation came, I was confident enough to protect at least two Luna and Lucia.
-What. Now I see, it was selfish.
“Can’t you?”
-doesn’t care. But one question is, can you really kill me?
“Can’t that just prove it?”
-I said it before, but it’s strong for a human. I’ll admit that. But I wonder if it can kill me. It’s something I’m a little reluctant to see this world break. If the world is destroyed, I will not die and will only suffer…
As I was talking to Ouroboros for a long time, the people again quietly listened to what I was saying to myself. You said you shouldn’t be quiet, but if you see nothing in particular, is it okay because I’m talking?
“Are you a senior?”
“No, wait.”
In order to erase Ouroboros’ suspicions, I’ll have to use more power.
[???’s wings]
Chow!
A pair of wings were summoned and I could feel my physical abilities increasing.
‘huh?’
But there was one thing that was beyond my expectations.
That the increase in ability was much higher than expected. And this reaction only happened when the target I was dealing with was related to the transcendent.
‘Is Ouroboros related to the transcendent?’
The name of the ancient transcendence species was just created by humans. Unlike the real Transcendentalists, it was known as a beast that existed in ancient times and was like a disaster.
Well, if you think about it again, the name Ouroboros also existed on Earth. It wouldn’t surprise me if a name that was connected to other worlds was related to the transcendent.
‘Rather good.’
I warmed up Galaksur and drew energy from my wings.
“oh! Is that Aura Biggi!”
“I didn’t use it a while ago, but now why is it suddenly like that?”
The quiet people started talking again, and in the gap, I lowered my sword.
Kwajik!
Shorter plosives than before.
And the impact was definitely felt.
-Ahh! It hurts!
At the same time, Ouroboros’ body shuddered.
I felt the reaction of surprise, but the ripple effect was much greater.
Wowaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
“Uuuuuuuuu!”
“It flies!”
It was strong enough to blow us all away with just a little wind pressure. People flew away, and I hurriedly followed and saved Luna and Lucia.
‘I’m sorry, Keshun.’
Now, Keshurn has been pushed out of importance.
It wasn’t a good situation because it was such a crisis.
“Keep it off! Huh waist!”
“At this rate, if I stay next to that snake, I will die!”
The warlocks, who had become ordinary old people because they couldn’t use mana, cried out.
– What was that just now! It hurt!
And I had no time to care about the warlocks.
“There seems to be no trust, so I tried to prove it. This could kill you in one shot.”
-I was really surprised. And it hurts more than I thought. If you want to kill me, destroy my heart so that I can’t feel the pain.
“That means…….”
-I’ll go there.
I did it.
He succeeded in persuading Ouroboros.
I told him to destroy his heart, but once I get inside his body, I’ll just kill him somehow. When you sit down looking for a heart again.
“They say Ouroboros is coming directly to us. If you hold out until then, I’ll kill you and we’ll be able to return to where we came from.”
At my words, the Warlocks made faces that seemed terrified. Until just a moment ago, the expression on his face was telling him to do something, but after experiencing the wind pressure once, he seemed to be terrified.
Kururureureung ———-!
“Could that sound come from us? It’s not unusual for something like that.”
“Ah Ouroboros said that as he moved, this space also shattered. So we have to hold out until he comes.”
“This crazy…! Why did you do that…….”
Warlock’s swear words didn’t last long.
And I also hardened my complexion at the situation around me that was getting worse than I expected.
Quadduk! Kwadeuk!
The world, which was like pure white fog, cracked.
And from the crack, I began to feel the aura that shook my whole body.
‘Ouroboros warned me more than I thought…’
It seems that the meaning of this world being destroyed was much more dangerous than I thought.
