Necromancer’s Evolutionary Traits

Episode 108. The necromancy

border area was in wartime, so there were no wagons in operation.

I had no choice but to ride a horse with Luna, but Luna didn’t know horseback riding, so I had to ride in front of me.

Luna’s size was small, so it wasn’t uncomfortable, but I couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable.

If at all possible, someone who knows me might see me moving with Luna and report it to the Empire.

So, just in case, I was trying to hide my identity by covering my bottom with a black hood and tying my long hair into a ponytail.

“Bored.”

It’s already been three days since I rode and ran.

At first, Luna, who enjoyed horseback riding, complained that her body was getting tired after one day, and after two days, she repeated the story of being bored every hour.

“Soon it will be Vayatra Fortress. Just wait a little bit.”

“I want to go quickly and kill the orcs.”

Due to the nature of Luna, who uses skills related to the soul, like a necromancer, she showed more powerful power in many battlefields.

Perhaps because of this, the closer they got to the battlefield, the thicker the battle clouds gradually showed their madness.

‘I can definitely feel it.’

The energy of invisible war was felt here.

Maybe the situation is more serious than I expected, so I frowned.

That means that it will be difficult for me to enter the great forest.

Feeling the growing madness, he sped up his horse and saw a fortress built in the middle of the rugged terrain and an orc army screaming as they approached the fortress in the distance.

“Oak!”

Luna struggled in my arms, trying to escape.

I stopped talking hastily, fearing that she might get hurt.

“friend! Oak, Oak!”

“Yes, you are an orc.”

My flesh trembled at the battle that I could see from afar.

It was the first time I had seen and felt a many-to-many battle, so even I, who had a lot of combat experience, was overwhelmed.

“Asheme Trogandhihushur.”

Luna suddenly landed on the ground and muttered a nonsense.

And I knew that bullshit was Luna’s unique way of casting spells.

“Luna?”

What are you going to do?

The longer Luna’s spell lasted, the stronger she felt.

Soon, something whitish began to swim around her.

“First, friends first.”

She picked up something floating around her and handed it to me.

-Titling!

[The spirit of ‘Dwaul, the Hound of the Battlefield’ wants to descend.]

[Do you want permission?]

A message appears.

Necromancer, Luna’s fortune-telling ability.

Curiously, she was able to use necromancy on others as well.

‘As far as I know, there were no side effects.’

Because of this ability, Luna could be considered a powerful all-weather buffer.

He was an excellent necromancer who could cope with any situation because he even had a powerful soul under his command.

Luna Pendragon was able to switch between the wizard’s soul when magic was needed and the knight’s soul when close combat was needed.

[The soul of ‘Dwaul, the hound of the battlefield’ descends.]

[Stats temporarily increase.]

[The attribute ‘Target Tracking’ of ‘Dwaul, the hound of the battlefield’ is temporarily acquired.

] not famous

Although it was temporary, there were few characters that were more fraudulent than this, as the stats rose without any side effects and also came with characteristics depending on the descended soul.

“Go first! I’ll pick some and go.”

I was slightly offended when he said that he would give me anything and choose a good soul, but for now he nodded his head.

Looking at the situation of the fortress, I noticed that the orcs were approaching the wall before I knew it, and then I was able to confirm that there was a shaman in the orc unit.

-blood! Battlefield! Slaughter!

The spirit of Dwaul who descended on me roared.

I ignored Dwaul’s words and looked at the pre-war situation.

‘Is this the ominous feeling that the shaman came all the way here?’

The shaman’s individual fighting ability was insignificant.

However, due to the nature of Orcs with good fertility, they often formed groups, and the Orc Shaman could be seen as a very frightening existence that increased the power of such groups.

Looking at the situation roughly, it was seen that the wizards’ magic and projectiles such as arrows were being weakened by the shaman’s shield.

It was natural for Mercury to have an advantage in siege warfare, but it was showing difficulties when one of Mercury’s advantages, long-distance attacks, was blocked.

‘I’ll have to kill the shaman first.’

No matter how many orcs there were, he wasn’t afraid.

Of course, I had never faced Adrias in my life, but based on my experience in the game, I was confident that I would be fooled by guerrilla warfare.

The story would have been different if there had been an Orc Warrior, a chief level Orc, and an Orc Lord, but as far as I looked, there were only Shamans and normal Orcs.

[Use ‘Target Tracking’ of ‘Dwaul, the Hound of the Battlefield’.]

My nerves were sharpened.

At the same time, the position of the Orc Shaman was identified even at this distance.

‘one? Well, it’s amazing that the shaman came to the rear like this.’

The front will probably be busy by now.

Fortress Vayatra belongs to the rear, so only a few hundred orcs are fighting in front with thousands against thousands.

Once I knew the location, there was only one thing I could do.

A card that can turn the tide of battle in an instant.

‘Assassinate the shaman.’

It may seem like a reckless move to break through hundreds of orcs, but it didn’t look surprisingly difficult either.

Now all the attention of the orcs is on the fortress.

In this situation, there was no time for the Orcs to care about their backs.

Coincidentally, the Orc Shaman was also located in the rear, so he could only pierce through and assassinate five or six Orcs.

‘Luna… … .’

Luna still looked at the souls and looked like she was contemplating which one to run amok with.

You won’t have to wait.

For now, I decided to lightly kill the shaman and get out.

‘Speed is important.’

The achievement of the selfless sword learned from the master is

still a long way away as the current level 3.10 is the ‘maximum level’.

If the achievement of the selfless sword was higher, the bizarre movements Master showed would have been possible, but for now, it was best to run fast.

Sending mana through my whole body, I ran with all my might.

Whoops!

I ran to the point where I felt the resistance of the wind coming against me, and I continued to follow the ‘target pursuit’ activated by Dwaul’s soul without stopping.

‘Hey there.’

The orc shaman was surrounded by orcs who appeared to be escorts, but since the siege had just begun, they seemed to be paying no attention to the back.

Thanks to that, I was able to hit the shaman directly without encountering any resistance.

Furbuck!

In an instant, the orcs by the shaman’s side were slaughtered, and the shaman’s pupils, which belatedly confirmed my existence, opened wide.

– Haka!

That was the shaman’s scream of death.

I don’t know what it means, but the shaman’s supply and demand fell off and rolled on the floor.

– Ha ha!

―Kahanuma!

The shaman’s death had an immediate effect.

The Orcs, whose berserk spell had been released, started a siege and created a commotion with a bewildered look.

“Now!”

A loud shout was heard from the top of the castle wall, and magic and arrows rained down.

Without the shaman’s shield, the orcs screamed and tumbled from ladders or exploded with magic.

Because the berserk was also released, I couldn’t see the wildness like before.

– Kraha!

The orcs in the back all stared at me and brandished their crude swords.

However, he cut down the orc with his sword at such a low level that he let out a sigh.

“Too many.”

No matter how low the level, an orc is an orc.

Compared to a normal human, his strength was extraordinary.

Moreover, since the number exceeded several hundred, they first fell behind and dealt with the Orcs.

Being surrounded, no matter how insignificant an Orc looked, it could be a disappointment.

“It’s an order to open the gate! Open the door!”

At that time, the gates of the fortress opened and the troops inside the fortress came out.

The bridge of the moat was raised, so the door was closed again and the troops lined up in the small space in front collided with the orcs as the bridge went down.

Most of them were troops that could handle auras, and most of them were Orcs who were in a state of panic, so they swept the Orcs as if they were crushing them.

‘Great.’

The orcs who were chasing me also noticed what was happening behind me and started to turn away.

“Kill them all!”

The Orcs were no match for the troops from the fortress.

If there had been a shaman, the story would have been different with berserk, but ordinary orcs without berserk could not compete with humans wearing auras.

The war was a battle of momentum.

Once they started to lose momentum, the Orcs couldn’t even properly use their own strength and started giving their heads helplessly.

squeak-!

Of course, the Orcs who deal with me also lost their fighting spirit and lost their lives to me.

I killed the orcs without a break, thinking that I should definitely set the mood.

“This is the first time I see you. Thanks for the help.”

The troops that had come up from the fortress while dealing with the orcs arrived at my place before I knew it.

The person who spoke to me was a familiar face I had seen several times in the game.

‘Sean Daaker, the lord of Fort Vayatra.’

Instead of answering with a nod, I swept away the orcs around me.

Hundreds of orcs suffered a blow that was close to annihilation.

Only a few surviving orcs were knocked down by arrows and magic fired from the fortress while belatedly running away.

“what! Why is it already over!”

Belatedly, Luna approached with an expression full of energy.

She was holding a translucent scythe in one hand, and it seemed that Luna’s trademark, the soul of the Aura Master, descended.

Anyway, her necromancy was quite helpful in this battle.

Aside from improving his stats, he wouldn’t have been able to catch the Shaman so easily without ‘Target Tracking’.

‘I was lucky to draw something randomly.’

Around the time Luna was grumbling, those who had come out of the fort to fight, and Sean, the owner of the castle, approached.

“Thanks for the help. It was a moment when I was in danger, but thanks to you, I passed it safely.”

The soldiers and mercenaries by my side were also looking at me with admiration.

Then, one of the mercenaries pointed at Luna and was surprised.

“Lu Luna Pendragon!”

Those who recognized Luna only then made a fuss and swallowed their saliva.

He’s holding that scythe, so there’s no way he wouldn’t know.

“I was no ordinary person either. Luna Pendragon’s company.”

“If Luna and Pendragon join in on a person of that level, the war will change, right?”

People’s reactions were difficult to adapt to.

Having lived only in the Empire, it was a natural reaction for a black mage to study cranes… … .

It was surprising that he was rather welcomed here.

“I will take you inside the fort.”

At Sean’s invitation, I decided to go inside the fortress.

Looking at it, the situation seems to be more serious than expected, but I need to find out about the situation.

Following Sean, who left the post-war handling to the soldiers, he entered the Yeongjugwan.

Even inside the fort, preparations for the war and other things were going crazy, but Luna’s gorgeous appearance forced her eyes to gather.

“This is Luna Pendragon.”

“Is the person next to me the one who killed the shaman?”

“If you went with Luna Pendragon and went through hundreds of orcs and killed a shaman, you must be famous.”

As I heard the sounds around me, I thought it was a relief that I had covered my face.

I could have worn the Bloody Dan mask, but I didn’t want to show it to Luna, so I hid my identity this way.

‘There’s nothing good about being known for nothing.’

It was a choice I had no choice but to go with Luna.

The inside of the Yeongju Hall was also hectic, but everyone was busy, from the administrators running around in a hurry keeping in touch with the forts at the forefront, to the people doing administrative work to deal with the post-war situation.

“Since the battle has just ended, can I come and do something urgent? There are a lot of rudeness after serving guests.”

“it’s okay.”

I said boldly.

Then, when he turned his head and looked at Luna, she was still following with a puzzled expression, probably dissatisfied with not being able to deal with the orcs.

Luna and I were shown to the drawing room, sat down, and waited while being served tea for a while.

Sean, the lord of the castle, seemed busy, probably because the battle had just ended.

Sean, who had just finished his errands, bowed his head to us.

“I should have greeted you in a more comfortable environment, but I’m sorry.”

He apologized, sat across from me, and looked carefully at me, half-hidden, before looking at Luna, who was sitting next to me.

“Thank you again. Thanks to the quick defeat of the Orc Shaman, there was no damage. May I ask for your name?”

“Barry Sanders.”

When I said the alias, I could feel Luna staring at me.

Keep an eye on it.

“Barry Sanders and Luna Pendragon. Thank you for coming to help with this. Were you on your way to the front?”

“huh! I’m going to slit the Orc Lord’s throat!”

Luna’s brightly shining eyes were burdensome and bright.

Sean also leaned forward and looked at Luna as he spoke, leaning back slightly and nodding.

“This is really helpful news. Even so, the Oak Road that occurred this time is different in many ways from the last one.”

“Could you elaborate a bit?”

Sean opened his mouth slowly.

“I am Aura Master Orc.”
