Necromancer’s Evolutionary Traits - Chapter 413
[ Episode 413. Salvation]
I felt a pure white space.
I’m closing my eyes, but putting aside the question of why I can feel this, something is approaching me.
[Adrias Cromwell]
It was the devil of Laplace, not the system.
I must have summoned the great kings of hell and took a break, but what happened?
[The contract has been fulfilled.]
[Project: Morning Star has been completed.]
What are you talking about again?
What is it that suddenly informs you that the contract is over?
Well, collecting all the sins was the condition of the contract, so what is the project anyways?
“iced coffee.”
My senses gradually opened up.
When I opened my eyes, a pure white space greeted me as I had imagined.
“Demon, are my words being conveyed?”
Maybe…
Maybe now, my words would be conveyed to the system.
An intuition close to certainty made me open my mouth.
[Player The one who shines in the darkest place. Please tell me.]
It was a fairly grandiose title.
Rather than that, I know that the language is communicative, so I should ask.
“Where are you?”
[This is the space of the contract.]
Oh, I see.
I had forgotten, but it seemed like this was the space when I first signed a contract with this guy.
“If the contract was fulfilled, what was promised was……”
[That was also fulfilled right away.]
Concentrating my consciousness, I confirmed the existence of Nebro. It was unclear whether this was because the system did not feel that this was the space of the contract or because the contract had been made.
“I want to check.”
[For full-time contractors, you can call them here as long as they agree.]
He nodded his head saying that he could meet Ilias. In fact, even if all of this is just an illusion created by this demon, I wanted to check even that.
[Message sent. Please wait for a moment.]
The devil, who said an extremely systemic thing, was silent for a moment.
-Titling!
[The other party accepted the offer.]
At that moment, a girl I don’t know how long ago appeared next to me. It showed up out of nowhere, and while she and I were both flustered, the devil sent another message.
[Remaining time: 2 minutes 31 seconds]
Is it time for Ilias to be in this space?
“Are you an angel?”
Ilias has spoken. She looked so similar to Luna that she felt a bit of a difference, but she reacted quickly.
“that’s right.”
“It’s a little different from what Ilias thought.”
I had a question.
But I couldn’t help but ask.
And Ilias spoke first, probably reading my expression.
“No. 246.”
“…….”
“In the end, the angel solved it before Ilias.”
A whopping 246 regressions.
It was the 51st time I went through, so it was a story that I went through another 200 close regressions after that.
“Sorry for late.”
“What are you talking about. After all, you saved Ilias and Nebro like this.”
“Is Nebro okay?”
The timeline is twisted, so I don’t know what’s going on. I solved the problem here, but then what will happen to the original sin that has been with me so far?
“Yeah, it’s okay.”
“You’re not lying, are you really?”
“Why would Ilias lie? If it was a lie, I would have extended the contract in the first place.”
Ilias’s eyes shone bleakly for a moment. And the moment I saw those eyes, I realized.
As much as she went through 241 regressions, she was never an ordinary person…
“Because Ilias will never give up on Nebro.”
I was worried that Ilias, who I thought would be fine with that obsession that felt even slightly scary, might actually be broken somewhere.
However, Ilias, who returned to his original eyes for a while, reached out his hand to me.
“I don’t have much time. Thank you very much, angel.”
I held out my hand. I was sure I could feel the warmth.
“Thank you so much for saving us.”
[Remaining time: 0 seconds]
Ilias disappeared as if it never existed, just like when it appeared. However, the warmth left in his hands proved that what had just happened was absolutely not a lie.
[Time is up.]
“Is Nebro all right?”
[The observer watching Player’s destruction returned to the original world line with the help of the player who shines in the darkest place.]
“I hope this isn’t a dream.”
I pinched my cheeks for a moment, and then I remembered what the devil had said at the beginning.
“I think I said something about Project Saetbyeol earlier, but what is the project?”
[A birth myth.]
“A birth myth?”
At the sudden remark, doubt raised its head.
So, is it the story of the birth of the morning star?
[All non-standard beings are born with their respective birth myths. Transcendentalists that Player knows, among them, only a few special ones can have them.]
“I don’t understand. Does the fact that the project was completed in the first place mean that someone’s birth myth was created?”
[Yes.]
No matter how many times you hear it, the birth myth of Project Saetbyeol is…….
“Is Saetbyeol talking about me?”
[That’s right. The heir of fate who gathered all the seven deadly sins is Player, the one who shines in the darkest place.]
In the end, is it a story that I became a transcendent?
Well, the moment I felt like a match, the thought that it was nonsense crossed my mind for a moment. A transcendent power that no human can dare to exert.
On the one hand, it was an ability that made me understand why he hadn’t been able to learn Aura’s secret technique until now, even with that much talent and swordsmanship.
It was such a powerful Aura secret that I couldn’t master it even with that ability.
[Have all your questions been answered?]
Curious?
Now that this has happened, I have thought about the question a little more.
“I have questions about the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. What are those guys really like?”
I thought it was simply a boss monster, but when I saw the red and blue knights, I had a strong feeling that there might be something.
Obviously, the Blue Knight of Death uttered the word contract, but I was sure that it might have something to do with Laplace’s devil.
[It was a side story for the birth myth.]
“Did you make it up?”
[That’s right. Among the beings of another dimension, those who made a contract with the system were called. The goal is the destruction of the Galaksur continent. If successful, there was a reward according to each contract.]
There was no evil like this.
After all, you are saying that I recruited a scapegoat for the story I was making up.
[In the case of the Red Knight of War, an error occurred on the path. However, since the project has become more abundant, it is a positive variable…]
“What am I going to do now.”
The more I listened, the more I felt that I was playing in the hands of Laplace’s devil. No, he’s actually playing around.
In the end, I didn’t want to admit that all of this was a story to create a transcendent. I also hated the fact that the main character was me.
When I stopped talking, the devil immediately changed the subject.
[You will be reborn as an out-of-standard existence in a new world.]
That’s no good. Happiness is how I worked.
I raised my will and denied the opponent’s words.
“I am Adrias Cromwell.”
again and again for sure.
The will to never agree was fiercely stirred.
“We don’t need a new world or a new name.”
[You cannot go against the system even if the player refuses.]
I tried to resist, but there was nothing in this space. There were no swords, no mana, no undead.
Ugh!
My body floated into thin air.
I desperately spit out anything to get out of the current situation.
“contract! I will make a new contract!”
[Player]
Laplace’s devil answered like a machine.
[Every contract the system has ever made has been a paving stone for the player who shines in the darkest places. It is ineffective now that Project: Morning Star is completed.]
“You bastard, you said you did this shit just because of me?”
I had never felt so helpless.
I struggled, but nothing changed. Laplace’s devil was just doing things mechanically, not caring about my feelings or condition.
“If you’re going to do this, why did you ask me to ask questions!”
[This is the duty of the system.]
Going to another world in vain like this? Anybody other than Adrias Cromwell?
I’ve done this far, but I…
– Beep!
Then an unknown sound came through.
Since I couldn’t identify it, I thought it was purely the sound of me being transported to another place, but it wasn’t.
– Beep! warning!
sound again.
Soon after, the space gradually began to distort.
[Error]
[An observer watching the player’s destruction invaded.]
While looking at the message from Laplace’s demon, the situation is still unclear…….
[“I have come.”]
Alsu with a black smile A missing figure squeezed through the shattered cracks in space. And the moment I heard his will, I knew who it was at once.
“Nebro?”
Nebro……Nebro!
A feeling of relief that he was safe washed over his whole body. And when Nebro saw me like that, he sighed and laughed again.
[“You’re still stupidly nice. Is it time to worry about me?”]
“What are you saying? And when did you learn mind reading?”
Anyway, what happened? Isn’t it time for jokes like this?
[Warning]
[System error]
Laplace’s demon kept repeating the same words as if it was out of order. In the meantime, Nebro’s energy seized me.
[“You helped me, now it’s my turn to help you.”]
“What are you talking about?”
[“Don’t you want to go back? By the side of precious people.”]
The reason Nebro came here was revealed.
And the content threw me into a strong emotion.
“Can you send me back?”
[“no. I can’t do it alone.”]
What does this mean? Now is not the time to joke around.
I think I have opened my eyes to transcendence, but Laplace’s demon was more than transcendence.
It’s a big deal in itself to have come in here in the first place, but what is Nebro going to do here alone……. [
“I can’t do it alone, but it’s possible with a group of people.”]
The moment Nebro’s words end, the crack in the space is divided. I started to feel various auras in it. As he said, he didn’t come alone.
[Error Error Error Error…….]
Every time Laplace’s demon repeated the same word, the message window was cluttered with message windows.
[Player The ruler who overlooks everything…….
Player The one who stands between eternity and the moment…….
Player The one who forgives sins…….
Player The one who carves the years into the stump. ……
Player The one who whispers rotten hopes…….
Player The one who forgets at the end of memory…….
Player The one who bites his own tail……. Player the ultimate Those who seek wisdom…….
Player Those who commemorate the light……. Player Those who
embrace momentary death…….
took it Their wandering names came dazzlingly closer.
[“You understand now? That I came to save you.”]
Nebro’s laughter became clearer.
