Necromancer’s Evolutionary Traits - Chapter 82
Episode 82. A building located in the faculty building of
Kyler Schutzman and the Faculty of Combat Magic.
Kyler Schutzman, a professor of potion making, was calmly organizing his belongings.
His coolly cold appearance was frozen to the point that those who knew him would find it awkward. To be honest, I didn’t have to hurry because my identity wasn’t discovered yet, but I had no choice but to hurry after hearing the news that Prince Grace of the Mayr Kingdom died in an incident.
‘Guardian Fel. I didn’t expect that the guy who was in charge of my potion would attack me. They must have run away by now.’
smart!
“Professor. We are here.”
As soon as they heard of the incident, the rest of the disciples who had called had arrived.
At the sound of voices coming through the door, Kyler waved his hand to break the locking spell, but hesitated.
I thought the apprentice’s trembling tone was because he was embarrassed by the incident at the academy, but something was wrong.
Kyler called the student’s name to confirm before opening the door.
“Alexander.”
“yes. professor.”
“Who did you come with?”
“… … .”
There was no answer for a while, and Kyler, who felt suspicious there, immediately packed up his belongings and activated the disposable portal magic circle he had created for emergencies.
“That is… … . It’s just me and the net. professor?”
Ignoring the sound beyond the door, Kyler rode the portal and disappeared.
After a while, when no sound could be heard, the door rattled violently, and was soon shattered by black swords.
“I missed it.”
Adrias Cromwell entered the room.
Behind him, Kyler’s students were trembling.
“I don’t know anything. Not knowing where the professor went and that there was an emergency exit like that!”
One of his students, Alexander Tibbon, knelt down and cried out.
And next to him was a student who was only in his second year, looking terrified as if he was about to pass out.
Ignoring their reaction, Adrias entered the room and looked around.
‘There must be something like a hidden lab like Charon.’
In the middle of the room, there was an emergency portal engraved with the faint energy of mana.
But it didn’t matter because he knew where Kyler had fled.
Now is the time to destroy the clues.
After searching the room for a while, Adrias gestured to Alexander.
“Is that me?”
“There must be a device or place that Kyler has hidden. Where are you?”
“How did you do that… … .”
Kyler’s pupils expressed surprise that they knew where Adrias was hiding. Adrias urged whether he was surprised or not.
“Tell me quickly.”
“Yes yes.”
Alexander was aware that he had become a duck egg in the Nakdong River from the time he was abandoned by Kyler, so he treated Adrias as cooperatively as possible.
He had to be cautious because it was proven that he already possessed tremendous intelligence by finding them, who were Kyler’s disciples, at once.
“That Adrias student. Are you really letting us go if you tell us this?”
The hidden device was on Kyler’s desk.
Alexander, who gave him the location, looked at Adrias with anxious eyes.
Without answering, Adrias read the magic circle inside the device and forcibly opened it using his talent to see mana.
“Ah student Adrias?”
“okay. Go now.”
Adrias didn’t care about Kyler’s disciples who didn’t know his identity.
His purpose is only to reveal his true identity.
First of all, I had to erase the clues here and chase after Kyler, who had fled.
‘At the academy, along with Karon, I’m the only one who knows my identity. I don’t know, but it could cause trouble, so I’ll have to deal with it.’
When the hidden device was activated, the bottom of the desk opened, revealing a staircase.
I immediately went downstairs to check it, but there were traces of it turned upside down here and there, as if everything important had already been taken.
Adrias had to go after Kyler, so he stopped searching and set fire to the inside of the lab. The magic fire was mixed with the power of mana and did not go out easily, so it came back without any worries.
When he came out, Kyler’s disciples had already disappeared.
‘In case you don’t know, here too… … .’
Adrias neatly set fire to his office and left the scene leisurely.
* * *
Ooh- ooh.
The cry of an owl cut through the desolate forest.
The place I am now is not in the academy, but outdoors.
The academy took advantage of the chaos and escaped.
‘I’m relieved that all the playables were saved.’
It is said that there were more users of the potion that I had not discovered, but I heard that one professor and three assistant professors sacrificed to stop them. It was a pitiful sacrifice, but I didn’t have two bodies, so I knew everything and couldn’t stop it.
As a result, the inside of the academy was not properly controlled due to a chaotic situation, but thanks to that, I was able to clean up Kyler’s office and come out quietly.
‘In the original game scenario, I’d be walking this path with other characters.’
He already knew where Kyler was hiding.
If the first game in the game takes place inside the academy, the fight that takes place in his hideout following Kyler, who ran away, was the second game.
In contrast to the first match, which uses only ordinary elemental magic, the second match reveals even black magic, and the patterns become more complicated as the patterns diversify. To be honest, it was close to impossible to wake up without fellow NPCs.
‘It’s like skipping the first game, so is it a benefit?’
In the second game, I always missed Kyler, but since it became a reality, not a game, I had no intention of missing him.
Gradually, it got closer to Kyler’s hideout.
I put on the Bloody Dan mask I had prepared in advance and hid my identity.
There was no need to hide it, but it was comfortable to be thorough.
Kyler’s hiding place was a small cabin in the woods that looked like an abandoned house.
Even in that hut, I had to go through the magic circle to enter the hideout, but I had already experienced it several times in the game, so there was no problem.
I entered the shabby hut, pulled out Galaksur, and blew mana into the place where the magic circle was hidden.
Weiying.
The magic circle was activated, revealing a hidden passage.
And immediately, feeling the energy of mana fluctuating, he bent his head to the side.
Whiik- Bang!
The magic that passed through the mask shattered the walls of the cabin.
“How did you know about this place?”
A voice was heard in the aisle, and Kyler, who had been immersed in the darkness, appeared.
Without answering Kyler’s words, I immediately jumped out.
Huwaang.
He rushed into the aisle and poured out the sword wind, but Kyler moved his shadow to lightly block the sword wind. His shadow wriggled and moved three-dimensionally as if he were alive, and it was a black magic that was difficult to deal with in the game.
While the opponent blocked the sword wind, I quickly approached Kyler and pierced the shadow.
“You are ignoring me too much.”
The shadow I thought I had penetrated entangled in me.
Except for Galaksur, which contained mana, the shadows that bound my arms and parts of my upper body were firmly maintained. Seeing me so immobilized, Kyler approached me in a relaxed manner.
[‘Pure original sin’ feels the power of ‘charitable greed’.]
I was surprised by the phrase that suddenly came up, but I didn’t express it.
Did you find greed in an unexpected place? Do you have the rest of the jewels?
“I wonder how the hell you got here. Let’s see your face first.”
Kyler reached out for the mask, approaching me as if caught in a spider’s web.
And the moment his hand touches my mask.
Took.
Something white, made of bone, grabbed Kyler’s shoulder.
“uh?”
The eyes of Kyler, who sounded embarrassed, and Nickel, who appeared from the air, met.
Awesome!
“Quaaaaagh!”
Nickel, who slashed the shoulder of the opponent he grabbed without hesitation, rushed toward Kyler without stopping.
In the meantime, I used fusion magic to light a fire with Galaksur.
Hwareuk.
The black flame made of aura began to eat away at the shadows that surrounded me, with only the property of burning them.
A fatal blow aimed at keeping the opponent off guard.
In fact, I wanted to kill him right away, but unfortunately I failed to kill him.
‘It’s a bit of a headache if I do this.’
As long as he couldn’t kill it all at once, there was no more luck like the one before.
Now, you have to compete only with pure skill.
Fortunately though, Nickel’s attack killed it, but it was fatal.
Pasasac!
Kyler, whose right arm had been cut off, was blocking Nickel’s attack with a pale complexion and unable to properly stop the bleeding. Nickel was also unable to land a decisive blow and was only chasing after being blocked by the shadows.
‘Earth Shield.’
I blocked the opponent’s retreat.
Then, Nickel’s sword fell towards Kyler, who was suddenly blocked.
Quadruped!
As if in a hurry, the shadow that swelled in an instant swirled like a whirlpool and blocked Nickel’s sword. And soon, Kyler, who got out of his seat in the shadows, searched for his arms with a pale complexion.
‘Is it phase 2?’
It can’t be like that.
Like Nickel, he had no choice but to use the summons he had been saving for an emergency.
“Kheuuong!”
Timur, who had become stronger through evolution, burst out with a huge roar.
[Revenant Berserker (Legend)]
―Timur
―Undead
―6 Tier
―Mana: 2010
―Attribute: Ego/Ultimate: Kwon Berserk
Unlike when Nickel evolved, the species did not change, but the Tier went up one notch.
Somehow, it was an evolution related to sin, or it felt like the divergence of evolution increased depending on what kind of experience he had experienced, but Timur became a decent Tier 6 undead anyway.
‘I still feel like nickel is stronger.’
The tier was the same as the previous job existing in other games.
The 6th tier is just like the 6th job.
However, in the case of Nickel, even though he was 5th tier, it was like having a hidden job change, so he was stronger than 6th tier Timur or Ludo.
As soon as Timur was summoned, he activated Berserk and ran out.
As far as physical ability, he was able to quickly reach Kyler, who was acting suspiciously, because he was ahead of Nickel.
Kugu Palace!
Perbung!
Kyler seemed to be in a hurry, even using elemental magic to block Timur’s charge, but Timur, who activated Berserk, fiercely hit the magic and swung his fist.
Perong!
The shadow wrapped around Timur’s fist, absorbing the shock.
During that short time, I could see Kyler drinking the potion hastily.
‘I couldn’t stop it.’
It was all calculated anyway, but it’s a little regretful.
By the time Timur, who was blocked by the shadows, plunged into the body once again, the opponent’s magic power was already emitting unusual energy.
cuddle. Perong!
Timur’s arm was caught in the shadow and twisted like a twist.
Then, his forehead furrowed as he watched it ricochet as if it were being vomited out.
“Huh. Now that I see it, I know who it is.”
Kyler, whose body has changed bizarrely under the influence of the potion, looked at me with black eyes and smiled.
“Student Adrias. Right?”
I didn’t bother to answer.
I was just paying attention to the new fusion magic that I had been focusing on for a while.
“Heh heh. Looks like you hit the right spot. But it’s too obvious. Sword and magic at the same time, plus necromancy. If that’s the case, why wear a mask… … .”
Nickel approached and swung his sword at Kyler.
However, his shadow magic, which has become stronger than before, blocked Nickel without difficulty.
“When the hell did you start entrusting these undead? This seems to be superior to the undead of your teacher Charon.”
“It’s noisy.”
I walked with the sword containing the fusion magic I had almost completed.
At the same time, Ludo was summoned.
“Gwaaaaaaa!”
Ku-gu-gu-gu-!
When a huge Ludo was summoned, the aisle collapsed and became a mess.
Seeing the huge undead, Kyler blocked the falling debris with a surprised expression.
“What about that undead? Is it a flesh golem?”
Before he could finish his words, Ludo’s greatsword was swung.
As the overwhelming mass descended, Kyler, who had taken the potion, couldn’t be vigilant, and he blocked the mana with a burst of shadows.
I slowly completed the magic contained in the sword in the situation where Timur, who had been reattached to Nickel on one side, and Ludo’s greatsword on the other, swung upward.
‘It’s the first time I’ve used it in practice, but… … .’
A new fusion magic that showed unexpected results.
charrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
The magic that finally appeared was ‘bones’.
This fusion magic is none other than the combination of necromancy and sword.
My sword, out of sharp bones, stretched and swung like a whip.
Quadruped!
Feeling threatened, Kyler instantly summoned shadows to surround him.
Then my bone whip, which contained an aura, was stuck in the shadow and couldn’t penetrate.
“What is this? to come? Magic?”
I turned my sword without answering.
Then, like long whips, bones sprouted like twigs sprouting from them.
The protruding bone broke through the shadow and reached Kyler.
However, it was unable to pierce Kyler’s body, which had been hardened by eating the potion.
“Ha ha ha! I thought I prepared something great, but is it just that?”
“As I said before.”
My head was overloaded.
At the same time, my nose was dripping with blood, but I didn’t stop the mana array.
“huh?”
Only then did Kyler, who noticed something strange, belatedly try to step back, but my casting was already over.
“You are too loud.”
Quaang-!
Kwagwagwang-!
double cast.
Bourne Explosion.
