Necromancer’s Evolutionary Traits

[ Episode 331. Ruse and sacrifice ]

Horton, who had received a pile of tips right before parting ways with Adrias the day before, went out to eat after a long time.

“Now the festival is about to begin.”

The festival was held every year, so he, who lives outside Portion, was not very impressed, but he felt strange because he met Adrias, the youngest warlock.

“I have to work up a little too.”

From a certain point on, rather than focusing on magic, he was only thinking about making money with potions. The reason why he started making potions in the first place was to earn money for magic research, but the truth was reversed.

“Hey Horton! Why do you all come to restaurants like this?”

“Jones, have you been drinking since morning?”

Jones, who lived near Horton’s house, greeted him waving a beer.

“Even if I ask you to have a beer every day after work, you say that you have no money. Is it a festival after all?”

“I got a lot of tips the day before, so I came here to eat meat after a long time. To clear the throat with some oil.”

“What? Then buy me a beer.”

“I have no money.”

While talking, Horton, who naturally sat next to Jones, immediately ordered food.

“so. Who tips like that?”

“I can’t help but say this. Didn’t Adrias Cromwell come over yesterday?”

“Of course you know! no way?”

Jones put down his beer and looked at Horton with widened pupils.

“you! Did you guide Adrias?”

“Yes, this is me.”

“her! what is this you I guess I was just lucky.”

Jones was right, so Horton nodded and smiled.

“This is the luckiest thing I’ve had this year.”

“I only heard that I came, but I didn’t see it. How is it?”

Horton’s shoulders lifted when Jones paid attention, and Horton looked up and pretended to be lost in thought.

“Hmm. It was definitely extraordinary.”

“Is that so? At the age of 25, he became the youngest Warlock. He must be an arrogant, cold, cold-hearted genius.”

“That’s not right. Rather, it was quite the opposite.”

“contrary?”

“okay. He said he had never seen a Warlock who was so kind even though he was a Warlock. Perhaps because he was still young, he was different from the previous warlocks who had a bad temper.”

Horton thought back to what had happened the previous day. In fact, when I first saw him, his cold impression was dominant, but I could feel that it wasn’t like that at all by talking to him and taking care of his surroundings.

“A conventional warlock with a bad temper?”

Just then, someone who had been quietly eating at a table in the corner got up and approached Horton.

“hmm?”

As Horton tilted his head and looked at him, the robed wizard revealed his face.

“Huh!”

“Yes, I am the old, dirty-tempered Warlock.”

The man giggling was Heseus, a warlock participating in the festival.

There were few warlocks who weren’t eccentric, and Heseus was one of the warlocks famous for his eccentric personality.

dump!

Heseus, who naturally sat together, spoke to Horton with a smile.

“So what did that Adrias Cromwell look like? You look strong, right? Did you find out what original magic you use?”

“That’s… I only helped with the sightseeing in Portion, so I don’t know about that. There was no need to use magic.”

“Eh, it’s chaff.”

Hesseus clicked his tongue when there was no more information than he thought.

“Well, I’ll see you soon, so it doesn’t matter too much.”

“Did Heseus come to participate in the festival too?”

“Then why would I have come!”

Wooooo—-!

Whoops!

At the same time as Heseus’ cry, a huge resonant sound rang out. Horton, knowing that Hesseus was using magic, lowered his head to the floor and begged for both hands.

“Sorry! I won’t speak carelessly!”

However, despite Horton’s cry, the resonant sound showed no signs of ending. Soon after, some time passed, and by the time Horton looked up, feeling something strange, no one was sitting at the table.

“uh?”

When I checked, everyone in the restaurant was rushing outside and looking at something. When he went out to find something, Horton was able to directly determine the cause of the resonance.

“What is that…….”

The colorful magic circles embroidered the ceiling of Portion. The magic circles were shining and operating.

“The magic circle is activated!”

“What is the magic circle for? It’s the first time I’ve seen it in operation since I’ve been living here for 10 years.”

“I thought it was running in the first place. But that wasn’t it……”

People’s prejudices that had been thought of as a barrier magic circle to hide Fort-Rion were shattered.

**

‘If only it was……’

I missed the timing to go out.

Maxwell was nowhere to be seen, but hearing his voice meant that the festival was about to begin.

‘There’s no problem if I go out after the festival starts.’

It wasn’t really controlling access, so I wasn’t too worried about it yet.

“We haven’t had a lot of gatherings yet. It doesn’t matter though.”

Maxwell’s voice rang again.

“Let the festivities begin.”

cooong! cooong! cooong!

A drum-like beat spread out, and the round table began to glow.

“Ohh? There has never been a case like this before, but it seems they prepared something!”

Bison giggled and surveyed the glowing round table.

As far as I know, there was usually nothing but Maxwell’s announcement of the start of the festival.

“A magic circle?”

Keshun, who had come near by, narrowed his eyes as he looked at the round table.

“Nice to meet you all. As always this year, the festival period has arrived.”

Then Maxwell appeared from the ceiling, lightly stepping into the air. It was the appearance of a young wizard, not the appearance of an old man he had seen before.

“This time, the selection was announced very quickly, unusually. There was someone I really wanted to meet.”

said Maxwell with a bright smile.

“This event was also prepared for him.”

Maxwell’s eyes met as he descended.

Does that person mean me now?

“Dad…”

Luna muttered next to her.

Come to think of it, Maxwell was Luna’s father.

As far as I know, this is the first time Luna has met Maxwell.

widely!

Maxwell, who landed on the round table, soon scattered mana. Then the light of the round table became brighter and the hidden magic circle began to be revealed.

“Maxwell!”

Bahat, who had been watching until then, suddenly shouted.

“What the hell is this all about?”

“As expected, you are Bahat Alven. Did you notice?”

do you notice

I reflexively stood up and placed Lucia and Luna at my sides.

“Keeek?”

“senior?!”

had to run away

It’s a pity, but he couldn’t afford to think about it.

“Hoo?”

Maxwell’s exclamation was heard from behind, followed by the shouts of several warlocks, but he ignored it and ran.

Ugh!

But I couldn’t go any further. It gently blocked my advance, as if a transparent barrier was blocking it.

“It’s already too late. It started right after you all entered Portion.”

“what? What the hell is going on?”

Is it that it was impossible to escape from the moment I came to Portion?

‘It must have been a rat in the dock.’

At that time, Bahat’s magic unfolded.

Kwajajajak!

An enormous electric current bounced and approached Maxwell, and Maxwell blocked the magic with a single smile.

“Bahat Alven! What the hell are you doing with a sudden attack!”

One of the Devourers shouted and Bahat glared at him.

“Are you on the same team as him?”

“What what? One pair?”

“Looks like you don’t know the situation. Still, being a warlock is just ridiculous.”

The people at the round table who noticed something in Bahat’s words immediately looked at Maxwell with disbelief.

“Mae Maxwell. Can you explain what the hell this is about?”

“I have been preparing this plan for a very long time.”

Instead of an answer, a random word came out.

But people seemed to realize that something was wrong with just that.

“Damn it!”

Bison jumped up and tried to leave the round table.

But he, like me, couldn’t go far.

“It’s blocked! What the hell are you doing like this dog? ”

“We are almost done. Please wait patiently.”

As Maxwell said, the magic circle of the round table was almost completed. Some Warlocks noticed him and used magic against the Round Table, but Maxwell, standing in the middle, easily blocked all magic.

“Giant Seal Barrier Spell. This is not simply a problem of this round table, but it is connected to the outside world.”

Kashun muttered as he analyzed the round table.

“That is correct, Keshurn Violga. After all, he is a genius of the magic circle.”

Maxwell, who reacted leisurely while blocking the Warlocks’ magic, soon turned to me.

“Please take good care of me.”

“ask? What are you trying to do more than that?”

What the hell are you doing this for?

you want to kill me? no. There was no way they’d set up a trap like this just to kill me.

It was clear that he was plotting something even worse than that.

‘Maxwell had never done such an eccentricity in a game. What has changed?’

Clearly, the future has changed because of my actions.

So what has changed? That I became a warlock early? Or belonging to an assembly? Perhaps the reason was to prevent the extinction level scenario in the north.

A situation that suddenly came to my mind while my head was about to become complicated because there were too many things to discuss.

Daerongdaerong-

When I looked at Luna who was tucked into my side, she looked up at me too.

‘Luna…is alive.’

Originally, Luna Pendragon should have already died.

The reason why Hegel called Luna to Portion and Luna’s father, Maxwell Pendragon.

The moment I thought about it, the round table emitted white light, dyeing my vision.

Hwaaak—-!

Pasasasak!

Soon the light faded and the scene revealed was not the cavity we knew.

“under!”

Someone snorted as if it were absurd.

“You have prepared a very exciting event. You bastard Maxwell!”

The hot-blooded bison’s cry shook the empty space.

Where we are is a pure white space.

It was just a white place with nothing.

“Is this fog? Amazing.”

“Oh oh? It feels like mana has become tangible and thick enough to be seen. Very interesting.”

Even in the midst of that, there were some people who showed their inquisitive spirit, but I looked at Lucia and Luna’s condition first.

“Are you both okay?”

“Yes, can you please let go?”

“huh.”

I put the two down and took stock of the situation.

As long as Maxwell’s scheme has already progressed, there is no other way but to break it.

“Adrias.”

At that time, Bahat approached me with a firm expression.

“Can you guess something?”

“sorry. I’ve been thinking about it too, but I don’t know anything right now.”

“But why did you try to run away?”

“Because it looked dangerous at first glance.”

Bahat crossed his arms and looked around.

“It is an artificial space. At the same time, it’s not normal at all. Confining us to a space like this would be absolutely impossible with Maxwell alone.”

It was as Bahat said.

It was similar to binding with magic, but the more you tried to bind a being with great magical power, the more powerful it was.

‘There are over 10 Warlocks here.’

It was absolutely not normal to have them all confined to such a space.

“The city itself may have been designed for this magic.”

“Ah…”

Something came to mind from Bahat’s words.

The meaningless magic circles that embroidered the sky and, of course, the depths that existed in the shape of a six-pointed star in the center of the city.

‘Then, since when did this plan begin…?’

Was it Maxwell himself who founded the city in the first place?

I couldn’t know that far, but I was speechless at the scale that was so much bigger than expected.

Susseusseuk—-

At that time, an unknown noise came from the white space where I thought there would be nothing.

Roaring!

One of the warlocks lit a light and peered inside.

All of them were prominent figures in their own way, so I watched them with no fear at all.

“……Huh?”

However, someone raised a tone of bewilderment at something that was soon revealed.

“wall? No, this is…….”

What was illuminated by the fire was a huge wall.

It towered so high that I did not know the end of it.

But the problem is that the wall is moving little by little.

“It is not a wall. That’s…”

“It’s a snake.”

Bahat muttered with a serious expression.

And he said it again while looking at the object so huge that it was impossible to guess its size.

“Live giant snake.”
