Necromancer’s Evolutionary Traits - Chapter 348
[Chapter 348. The butterfly effect]
The face I saw for the first time in 5 years, but not at all, was looking at me with a familiar smile.
“I heard the news. You’ve suffered. He is also my disciple.”
“How did you know I was here?”
“I can’t tell you because it’s my food line. haha.”
Talking with a calm face makes me lose my words.
In any case, he was a psychopath with no insidious mate.
“Seeing that they don’t attack, it doesn’t look like they came to kill me…”
“Killing! Why am I killing my disciple?”
Then, Vivian, who had been watching quietly, pulled out her sword.
“Tell me quickly.”
“Oops. I’m afraid of this, so I won’t be able to say hello properly. All right. Let’s get right to the point.”
Burial’s gaze slipped over to Luna, then fell. Could it be that Luna had a business?
“Recently, for quite a long time, there was a topic that I personally researched. And it’s a topic that more wizards have been interested in than I thought.”
His gaze was now openly directed at Luna.
“Maxwell is one of them.”
“Is that subject a Transcendentalist?”
“That’s right.”
Burial spread his palms and gave a ecstatic expression.
“What are we ultimately after? If you are a warrior, your body and power are stronger than anyone else, if you are a wizard, knowledge and magic to reach the truth of the world…
”
I didn’t want to fight Burial.
He was not just strong, but he was a very tricky person to become an enemy because of his unpredictable thoughts and movements.
“no. Of course, it would be a lie if I said I wasn’t interested, but I’m not stupid enough to pretend to be a student.”
“then?”
“Weren’t you looking for Hegel?”
no, how else would you know that?
Anyway, he was a person with a bad mood.
“There is no need to be so surprised. I already knew that Maxwell and Hegel were working together, so I just naturally realized that Hegel was the disciple’s next target.”
“There is nothing to hide. you’re right. I was thinking of finding Hegel.”
“I know where Hegel is.”
Burial smiled meaningfully.
“His goals weren’t too different from Maxwell’s. After all, it is a study of transcendence.”
“So what do you want from me?”
“I want you to kill Hagel instead of giving me his location. You must have thought of that anyway.”
I don’t know what the hell you’re thinking.
Why did he come all the way here to tell me this, and why did he want me to kill Hegel?
“You are stronger than I expected. No, would it be correct to say that I have become stronger? Anyway, since you beat Maxwell, you should be able to take care of Hagel as well.”
“Aren’t you going to come out yourself?”
“Why? Fighting a high-ranking mage like Hagel is a big risk for me too. There are people who will fight for you, but you don’t have to.”
I was lost in thought for a moment.
To be honest, finding out Hegel’s location was only a matter of time, and it wasn’t such a big deal. As Burial said, Hegel was the target to be defeated anyway…
‘I don’t know what the plan is.’
Heygel’s plan was already known.
It must be his role to summon the 4 knights of the Apocalypse.
Then what about Beryl?
“If Hegel dies, will the dean benefit?”
“Haha I am no longer the dean of the department. Well, to answer your question. Broadly speaking, I intend to steal his research. In order to do that, it would be better for me if he died.”
It was also a psychopathic idea.
Now that I’m stronger, I thought that if it wasn’t for that, this meeting with Berial could have been in a completely different form.
“Are you just telling me the location?”
“If you want, you can go with me. If our disciple wants it.”
I looked at him to find out a little bit about Berial’s intentions, but I couldn’t find anything.
“Just tell me the location.”
“great. Good idea.”
What he was up to was honestly less important than the Knights of the Apocalypse. Right now, it’s a matter to turn off the urgent fire and think about it.
“Hegel is now in the southern part of the Empire. Among them, it is located in the most fierce battlefield, the Palesco Plain.”
Plain of Palesco?
Maybe it’s already too late.
Because the Plains of Palesco was the place where the first Knight of the Apocalypse, the ‘White Knight of Conquest’, appeared.
‘I couldn’t specify the time of appearance, so I tried to find Hegel’s location first…’
It seemed like I had no choice but to go.
By the way, as he identified the location of Hegel’s location, Burial’s ability became more and more suspicious.
“Can you convince me that you are on the plains of Palesco? I think you have to give us credible evidence so we can move without suspicion.”
When I scooped it up, Berial’s smile felt somehow cool. Is it a gradual limit?
“Evidence…… I’m sorry, but there is no such thing. It’s unavoidable even if you don’t believe it. But what is certain is that I want Hegel’s death more than anyone else.”
With those words, Berial slowly backed away.
“I don’t have any more information to tell you, and since I haven’t seen your disciple’s face in a long time, I’m going to step back.”
“Are you going like this?”
“I am sure you will believe me and go to the Plains of Palesco.”
Burial grinned.
“I have a lot of doubts, so I’d rather go and check it myself. Because you are that kind of person.”
“Oddly, someone is saying something that comes to mind. Are you also a part of Maxwell, Burial?”
“Some of Maxwell? What else is that?”
Belial asked me back with a look of sincere incomprehensibility. His behavior was suspicious, so he suspected that Burial might be one of Maxwell’s.
I shook my head after observing his breathing, pulse rate, and constriction of his pupils for a moment.
“it’s nothing.”
“Come to think of it, I really want to hear the story of defeating Maxwell someday. I’m busy right now, so I’ll go, but please stop by when we meet again later.”
After saying that, Burial operated the engraved circuit and got out of the swamp in an instant.
‘What am I aiming for?’
In the game, I had never paid much attention to him because he was tied to the academy, but he made me worry like this.
It’s a time when there’s still a lot to think about.
“Are you going, Adrias?”
Vivian asked, putting the sword back.
I felt like I was playing in Berial’s clutches, but I couldn’t help but go because the place where the first knight of the Apocalypse actually appeared is the Palesco Plain.
“yes. I will go.”
“okay.”
Vivian didn’t comment, just nodded. Now that it’s like that, what to do with Luna now…
“When will you return to Luna’s estate?”
“Cromwell?”
“yes.”
Luna crossed her arms and then paced around me. I looked at it still, then looked away and saw Vivian staring at Luna as if possessed.
“Can’t I follow my friend too?”
“I am not going to play.”
“know. You’re going to catch Hegel.”
For a moment, Luna’s face was covered with life.
“I almost lost my mother and my friend because Hegel fell into a trap. You must take revenge.”
Come to think of it, I was moving to prevent an extinction-level episode, but Luna had a clear justification. Personally, I want Luna to stay calm in a safe place, but I can’t force it.
“If Luna wants it…….”
“But if my friend doesn’t want it……”
We stared blankly at each other as our words overlapped.
“Aren’t you drying?”
“I want to dry it. Luna almost lost me too, but I also almost lost Luna. Catching Hagel would be dangerous.”
Then Vivian cautiously spoke out.
“I will keep both. So it’s okay.”
“Oh oh? Vivian~ You’re cool, aren’t you?”
Luna said it playfully, but she didn’t know that Vivian’s eyes would leave her.
“Then I will trust Vivian!”
“You mean follow me?”
“huh!”
He hesitated a bit, but eventually nodded. I already knew all the weaknesses of the Knights of the Apocalypse, and above all, I believed in my strength.
‘Corrupted wings and evolved nickel are enough.’
In addition, the first place, the Palesco Plain, is a place where bloodshed was caused by an intense war.
It was a place where the true value of a Necromancer could be revealed.

“I found it, Your Majesty.”
“……at las.”
When Xavier, with a machine-like expression, reported, a ray of smile crossed the Emperor’s face. But that was only for a moment, and he immediately gave the order.
“Call the chancellor.”
“yes.”
Soon, Xavier disappeared and the emperor, left alone on the throne, tapped his sword out of habit.
“Come on, Hegel. I opened the plate as you wanted. Are you eating well?”
As he muttered to himself, he immediately remembered something Xavier had found. Because of the information about it in the first place, he has been able to hold on without impatient.
And that patience was also related to Adrias.
“Adrias Cromwell.”
Until news of him was cut off from Portrion, they vented their anger to the point that there were no items left in the imperial palace. There are dozens of attendants and blood relatives who died as a result.
“But now I don’t need you either.”
It was a pleasant day.
I was able to shake off all the things that had been bothering me because of the slightest possibility.
Of course, it was too early to be relieved until I checked it myself.
“your majesty! Duke Hector Kazaf has arrived!”
“Come in.”
Soon after, Hector arrived and stood before the emperor with his head bowed.
“Did you call, Your Majesty?”
“It is time to put the plan into action.”
“Plan… are you talking about it?”
As Hector spoke, he made an expression that he didn’t know what he was planning.
“Get in touch with the scene. Leaking information to Lucifer as well.”
“Bur already……”
Sgeng!
A purple blade passed by Hector. Hector didn’t even understand what had happened for a moment, but he bit his teeth at the pain he felt immediately.
“Keuk!”
One of his ears, which had fallen off, lay miserably on the floor.
“If Jim wants to do it, he will do it.”
“I will do as you command.”
Hector answered clearly, even though he was breaking out in a cold sweat. Seeing Hector like that, the emperor got up from his seat and walked forward.
“Did you think Hector Jim knew nothing?”
“yes?”
“Jim knew right away that you harbored disrespect on the one hand. I have a good relationship with the 1st prince these days.”
“Oh no. your majesty.”
Hector shook his head, forgetting the pain of having his ear cut off, then lowered his head again. However, as if he felt that even that was not enough, he fell to his knees and banged his head on the floor.
“God Hector Kazaf! I will never dare to be disloyal to Your Majesty!”
“Hector Jim doesn’t care what happens here now.”
The Emperor circled Hector slowly, sword still drawn.
“Jim will soon become a god.”
Gulp-
Hector could not even answer and swallowed dryly.
Smack!
The emperor stepped on Hector’s ear, which fell to the floor, and bent down.
“But Hector, don’t you dare to hurt my feelings?”
“I’m sorry…”
The emperor grabbed Hector’s hair and lifted it up as a voice swelled. Then Hector was able to make eye contact with the emperor.
Those eyes that were engulfed in madness were never human.
“I finally found the temple. The temple where I will soon be enshrined as a god.”
He had become something irreparable.
