Necromancer’s Evolutionary Traits - Chapter 361
[ Episode 361. Niflheim and Lucifer Castle]
Lucifer, no, the realm where vampires live was in the cold land where humans couldn’t live.
A demonic landscape beyond the northern part.
A land where the only living things are vampires.
Two humans were making their way through the waist-deep snow toward such a barren
land
.
Cheeik!
Adrias, who was clearing the road using magic, glanced back at the rough snowfall. Looking at Vivian following without any sign of tiredness, he soon headed forward again.
Whoa—
“It looks like it will arrive soon.”
Vivian managed to understand and answer, though it was unlikely that the voices could be heard due to the heavy snowstorm.
“huh.”
Adrias, who had originally planned to come alone, sped up while listening to Vivian’s calm reply, which he couldn’t stop.
Chiik –
Adrias, who became a walking mana reservoir due to all kinds of characteristics and original sins, was not a hindrance even in this harsh environment. Vivian didn’t show it on the outside, but was admiring it on the inside at the sight of her overcoming an environment that was difficult to withstand even if a warlock came, even if it was an ordinary wizard.
“hmm?”
At that time, Vivian suddenly jumped in front of Adrias at the presence she felt in front of her, alerting her.
Suss-
“Human?”
The person who appeared was a vampire standing lightly on the snow. He politely asked without any reaction even though he had found a rare human in this area.
“Looking at how we’ve come this far, it looks like we’ve come here on business… What did you come here for?”
Vivian’s vigilance softened slightly at the gentlemanly attitude. It was a natural reaction as not only her, but most people recognized vampires as fearful beings.
“I was invited and headed to the Lucifer family.”
At Adrias’ answer, the vampire tilted her head.
“invite?”
“That’s right.”
“Could you confirm the invitee’s name?”
“That’s a little troublesome.”
Adrias, who knew that the power of the Lucifer family was divided into several factions, showed a troubled look. And the vampire, seeing the unspoken confidence in Adrias’ refusal to answer, nodded without questioning.
“Looks like you know us well.”
“I know a little bit.”
“It doesn’t matter if you’re a human who knows us. After that, I will guide you.”
At the unexpected favor, Vivian sneaked a glance at Adrias. However, Adrias nodded as if there was no problem at all.
“thank you.”
“It’s in front of me anyway. You were on the right track.”
The vampire gave a slight chin and soon started walking ahead. Adrias whispered cautiously to her as Vivian admired the way she walked over it without falling into the snow.
“Unless they attack first, bear with me.”
“huh.”
As soon as I walked behind the vampire, a huge ice cliff appeared. When even Adrias was quietly admiring the huge wall that was invisible due to the blizzard, the vampire walking ahead put his hand on the wall.
Quadduk!
Soon there was a gap that one person could pass through, and a long staircase was formed to go up.
“egg plant.”
“Thank you, can you tell me your name?”
“name? You will never run into me again anyway. I have to scout the area for the next 15 years.”
15 years?
The vampire, who talked about the enormous period of time as if it were no big deal, immediately grinned.
“Fifteen years may be a long time for humans, but it’s not that long for us.”
Adrias and Vivian followed the vampire up the stairs. After climbing for almost an hour, I finally saw the stairs approaching the end.
“iced coffee……!”
Soon, Vivian, who arrived at the end of the stairs, admired the scenery unfolding before her eyes.
“I don’t know how long humans have been here. It’s the first time since Maximin Cronell, so it’s been almost 30 years?”
A scene where common sense that people knew collapsed.
On top of the icy cliff, where the nameless deformed plants bloomed profusely, one might wonder if it was the same place as where the blizzard hit so far.
All kinds of plants and wild animals were spread between the transparent ice that reflected the light with the bright sunlight.
“Welcome to Niflheim.”
After saying that, the vampire stepped back and fell off the edge of the cliff.
‘Is this the guide?’
Adrias silently looked around at the scenery. He had seen it before in the game, but what he was seeing in real life was even more impressive than he expected.
“excuse me.”
At that time, Vivian, who was crouching and looking at the flowers, raised her fingertip and pointed to one side.
The ancient castle with a mixture of ice and stone was revealing its lofty appearance.
“Castle Lucifer. It is our destination.”
“let’s go.”
“yes.”
It was the place where the sinful ‘lust’ rested.
**
‘It arrived easier than expected.’
That was one of my impressions in front of Lucifer Castle. That’s also true, because the episodes related to Lucifer were never easily solved, no matter what it was.
‘It’s thanks to breaking the meeting first.’
Originally, due to the conspiracy of the meeting, the Lucifer family became a chaos where a fierce strife took place. However, the meeting was organized much earlier than expected, so it ended up being an unexpected event.
Suss-
Vampire’s distinctive presence was felt here and there. But they just watched us without showing up.
“Now what?”
As we approached the castle gate, Vivian tilted her head.
“wait a minute.”
Before I left Cromwell, I remembered how I could enter the castle after I had lifted Isabelle’s curse again.
Sreung-
Cheack!
I lightly cut my palm with my sword.
Then, the blood that had risen gradually began to flow.
“If you do this, you will smell it and come back.”
“aha.”
I waited for a while while watching Vivian nodded expressionlessly, and soon the vampires who had been observing my actions appeared.
“Are you a guest?”
He seemed to have guessed at once from my actions.
“yes.”
“Whose guest are you?”
“That is difficult to say.”
The vampire who spoke to me made an impression on my answer. It doesn’t sound as friendly as the vampires who guided us.
“Tell me, human.”
Vampires gradually gathered around them.
They started putting pressure on us, spraying stealthy momentum.
“I’m not here to fight…”
There’s no reason to be ignored.
I nodded to Vivian, who had an itchy expression on her face, and raised her spirits.
Whoaaaagh —–!
As Vivian and I pumped up the mana, the air changed. Our aura spread around us and consumed the opponent’s energy in an instant.
“Hmm?”
Perhaps it was an unexpected momentum, I could see the vampire who had spoken to me at first, backing away without even realizing it.
Perhaps realizing his ugliness, he showed his fangs with an angry expression.
“I think it’s pretty good for a human, but I picked the wrong opponent…….”
“Stop.”
thud!
Vampires were pressed by a completely different momentum from before.
And I turned my head to a familiar voice somewhere.
“What dare you do to my guest, you little things.”
Red straight hair swayed.
The alluring lips and crimson eyes I had seen before were looking at me.
“Angela.”
“oh? do you still remember my name Or did you hear from your sister?”
“I can’t forget.”
It was hard to forget Angela as it was an incident that could be seen as the starting point of everything.
“Angela Lucifer……”
the vampire, shrunken by Angela’s momentum, gnashed his teeth and muttered.
“It’s just fine. When I was wondering when this boring battle of nerves would end, I got a justification thanks to you guys arguing first.”
“Sophistry! We just want to stop the invasion of humans…”
Perk!
Angela, who moved in the blink of an eye, grabbed the head of the vampire who opened her mouth.
“Do I look like a dick?”
“Turn it off!”
“It’s a pun that goes nowhere.”
Quaang!
When I slammed the face I grabbed onto the floor, the floor shattered with a roar, and the vampire fell to the ground.
“Ah Angela Lucifer! A declaration of war!”
“As I said, you are the first to raise the dispute, you insignificant things. Go and tell Bathory. Things got interesting thanks to you guys messing with my guest.”
Fuck!
Angela stomped the vampire on the floor without mercy and crushed it. It was obvious to see him trembling and then stop moving.
“This …….”
Most of the vampires who had gathered towards us ran away gnashing their teeth as if they belonged to a faction.
“Angela.”
“Whoa, I feel relieved.”
“Angela.”
I called Angela once more who ignored me. Then I asked her looking back at me.
“Did you use me?”
“It happened unintentionally. thank you.”
“I’m curious about who invited me.”
“Why are you here?”
A strange war of nerves came and went, but I just laughed. First of all, she’s not against me. That’s a fact that has already been revealed before.
‘It’s because the proof is already over that evolution was possible.’
A phrase pops up saying that other people around me can also evolve. However, I know the side effects of failure, so I just don’t use it recklessly.
Angela and I were the only ones who used evolution on living things.
“I miss you!”
Angela, who saw my smile, sighed and smiled, then changed her expression and clung to me.
“You seem to be doing well.”
“Thanks. Originally, I wanted to visit you, but this side was more complicated than I thought, so I invited you. Sorry?”
At that time, I felt a gloomy energy beside me. Angela also glanced to the side as if she felt the same way.
“But what is that next to you?”
“This is my colleague, Vivian Veloccan.”
After introducing Vivian, I also introduced Angela to Vivian.
“This is Angela Lucifer. He is the one who invited us.”
“we? I only invited you.”
Angela walked away, but she tried to ignore it.
Vivian looked at Angela like that, and turned her head away as if she didn’t like something.
“What good. For now, I’ll treat you as if you were invited.”
It was a little strange to see Angela talking as if she was patronizing. It contrasts so much with the image of being locked up and waiting to die.
‘Thinking back, that must have been several years ago.’
At the time, it was just a struggle to survive right away, but now it was armed with numerous colleagues and powerful undead.
In fact, except for the extinction level episode, there is nothing to be afraid of.
“Are you feeling much better? Have you changed to my taste?”
“Are you going to keep the guests standing?”
“It’s urgent. Let’s go in now. Follow him too.”
Angela gestured and walked away.
His dignified appearance showed a sense of pride in his ability to be confident no matter who came.
Koo-Goo Palace–
Angela touched it and the castle gate opened slightly.
“Welcome to Lucifer.”
It was the moment we were guided into the largest castle on the continent in terms of single area.
