Necromancer’s Evolutionary Traits

Chapter 131



Episode 131. News and processing

Truburn Islands treated as a periphery even on the continent.

It was a good place to hide from the eyes of the continent, where numerous islands were gathered together.

As much as that, all kinds of criminals gathered there.

Fuck!

“Get lost!”

“Kill it!”

A place where fistfights happen like everyday life on the street, and people around you watch without stopping.

It was the true face of the lawless Trouban Islands.

Today, as the peaceful time passes by, the leader of the Kinane Mercenary Corps, which occupies Veronica, the largest island in the Truburn Islands, is welcoming guests.

“You look really free. Seeing how you crawled all the way here.”

The leader, Muto Kinane, treated the opponent sitting across from him rudely.

Even so, the opponent was just listening in silence.

“You know, there’s nothing you want here. To be honest, I don’t even know what I want. Didn’t you already come and go a few years ago?”

The man on the other side had a huge rectangular wooden box beside him, and Muto said with a displeased look at the coffin-like object.

“Tell me something. Don’t set the mood for nothing.”

“Muto.”

The man’s voice was like a dry desert.

The man with a thick cloak wrapped around his shoulders called Muto’s name once and then closed his mouth again.

“I’m really going to turn around. If I’m going to keep setting the mood like that, I’ll just leave?”

Then someone knocked on the door.

Muto, who glared at the man for a moment as if he was fighting, shouted as if it was all right.

“what?”

“Commander, an urgent message has been delivered.”

“Urgent news? Should I hide it?”

“It is not.”

“Then come in and tell me.”

A mercenary opened the door and came in, but was startled and stopped when he saw the person sitting across from Muto.

Muto, who looked at him with a pathetic look, urged.

“What.”

“Ah that… … .”

Muto’s expression distorted as the subordinate stuttered after recognizing the man’s true identity.

Then, the subordinate responded coldly.

“This is an urgent message from the Kingdom of Carcassion. It is said that Evan von Orleon has resigned, giving up all authority and position.”

“Is that crazy guy?”

When Muto asked back with a surprised expression, Subha nodded.

Evan von Orleon.

No, now the paladin, who had become a mere Evan man, was a person with ardent support and strong power even within the Holy Land.

“You mean you quit being the Heretic Questioner?”

“Not only did he quit being a Heretic Inquisitor, but he also came out of the Holy Land.”

“You came out? her!”

At the unbelievable news, Muto scratched his head for a moment before looking at the man sitting across from him.

He was still sitting there motionless.

“The reason is? There must be some reason Originally, he was a crazy person, but did he really lose his mind?”

“According to the Archbishop’s announcement, he resigned taking responsibility for failing his recent mission.”

“mission? responsibility? No, it’s funny that the Auror Master failed the mission, but you can only take responsibility with that? no i can’t But is it possible to say that he came out of the Holy Land?”

“That seems to be a lot of talk elsewhere. I can’t believe that he is a nobleman who is known for his faithfulness, and I wonder if he has other ulterior motives for such a sudden decision… … .”

At that time, the quiet man added a word.

“Looks like you finally figured it out.”

“You notice?”

“All gods were already buried in ancient times. The things that are now called gods are all illusions. The Holy Kingdom of Kasion is only fulfilling their own desires in the name of a god that doesn’t exist.”

Muto and Suha couldn’t even respond to his sharp words.

They didn’t have any particular religious beliefs, but they thought that God existed.

“You mean that Evan turned around after seeing the dark side of the Kasion Kingdom?”

“Other news will come soon. It’s been a while since I’ve heard from old people.”

The man’s words gave Muto goosebumps.

The old people he refers to probably mean the 1st and 2nd Heretic Inquisitors of Kasion Holy Land.

The fact that they were moving meant that the hunt would soon begin.

‘The prey must be Evan, of course.’

One thing I couldn’t understand was how Evan acted so unconventionally without knowing that fact.

‘It wouldn’t make sense if Evan escaped safely and entrusted himself to another country.’

Evan was not an ordinary Auror Master.

A person with skills that is within the top 10 of all continents.

Depending on where he went, it seemed that there could be a ripple in the situation of the continent.

“Once I knew. Let’s talk about it in more detail later. Until then, keep an eye on it.”

“All right. Captain.”

When the servant left, the room was once again enveloped in silence.

Muto, who was lost in thought for a moment and didn’t even care about the man’s existence, said a thought that came to him.

“Come to think of it, Evan and that crazy guy are old friends, right?”

At Muto’s question, the man raised his arm hidden by his cloak and slowly brushed his cheek.

There was a long scar from a stab wound.

It was hidden from view by his trim beard, but it was one of the few scars he had.

“You have no idea how surprised I was when I heard the news. Honestly, isn’t it because of you that the madman is counted as one of the 10 people on the continent?”

“He should have died then. Instead, the poor man died.”

“what? Is there a story I don’t know about?”

“It’s nothing.”

The man, Maximin Cronell, continued with a gloomy expression like the first one.

“It’s just one of those common tragedies.”

* * *

The opening of the academy is approaching.

The students went out to the streets to enjoy lunch after the first lecture of the second semester, feeling the cool weather that gradually entered autumn.

“ah! Senior Adrias!”

There was also Adrias Cromwell in that crowd, and someone called him.

The person who summoned Adrias approached him, gathering all the gazes that were already focused on him.

“hello. I am… … .”

“Jennifer Hysynth.”

Jennifer blushed when Adrias recognized her.

“Oh, you knew.”

Jennifer, who did not think she would know her, was taken aback for a moment, then stomped her feet and continued.

“Oh, this is not the time. Diane senior asked me to gather at the Whiron Cafeteria on Alven Street to say something about the Ash Dormitory investigation, so I came to tell it to you.”

“Why bother not contacting me on the tablet.”

“ah! the tablet… … You were there.”

When Jennifer didn’t know what to do, Adrias shook her head.

“It’s not your fault, so there’s nothing to be sorry about. Thanks for the news.”

“yes? yes… … .”

Adrias left Jennifer’s gaze behind her and took out the tablet and immediately left a message for Diene.

Adrias, who sent a short message, immediately headed somewhere.

‘The deal with Deos was limited to the Ash Dormitory.’

Deos would think that this incident was limited to the Ash Dormitory, but it was a big mistake.

As it was only a precursor to bizarre incidents that would spread like wildfire in the future, Adrias was thinking of picking mulberries through this deal.

‘First of all, we’ll solve the ash.’

He didn’t intend to take too long.

Meanwhile, at the Whiron cafeteria, Diene, who was waiting for the people to join the investigation, tilted her head at the text message that came with the tablet ID she had never seen before.

‘I’ll go first.’

I didn’t even know who it came from, so I just ignored the text that came with only one sentence.

It’s already been over two weeks since the incident at the Ash Dormitory.

In the meantime, not only Diane but also several other people have investigated, but the cause and measures for the strange incident have not been established.

‘I almost got hit too.’

It is unlikely that what happened to you has anything to do with this incident.

However, since the cause was unknown, he himself could not figure out what had happened to him.

The only thing that is certain is that it is not related to magic.

That’s why it was more questionable.

‘Non-magical anomalies can only be explained by mana anomalies… … .’

However, the established theory was that the mana anomaly did not happen suddenly, but slowly and naturally, as if it were being eaten away.

After waiting for a while with worries, the students who wanted to investigate the case came in one after another.

“hello.”

“I am hungry. Have you made something?”

It was Kelly Hughes, a senior in her senior year, and Urich Caltz, Diane’s best friend.

There were four students from the Faculty of Magic who participated in the investigation, including Adrias, and the Faculty of Knights made an appointment to meet in front of the Ash Dormitory after the afternoon lecture.

“hello.”

Diane bowed respectfully to her senior, Kelly, and looked behind her.

“Looking for someone? Adrias?”

“huh.”

“I thought you came first, but it seems you didn’t.”

At that moment, Diene’s mind recalled the message that had just arrived.

When I took out the tablet again and checked it, I could see that the way he spoke was somewhat like Adrias.

“Did Urihi Adrias have a tablet?”

“huh? Wasn’t it originally there? But he won’t have a lot of money anymore. I could have bought one.”

“I just got a text message from an ID I don’t know.”

To Diene, who showed the contents of the text, Yurihi said with a troubled expression.

“Does this look like Adrias?”

“What did Student Adrias say?”

When Kelly asked curiously, Diane immediately explained.

After hearing the explanation, Kelly immediately suggested it.

“How about we go to the Ash Dormitory now?”

“But the rice… … .”

“great.”

After interrupting Urich, Diene immediately stood up.

Urihi, who wanted to have lunch, followed them with a tearful face.

The three of them headed to the Ash Dormitory, skipping meals, and were soon able to meet the guards guarding the dormitory.

“Have you ever been a student of Adrias?”

“I went in a while ago saying I was doing an investigation.”

The guess was right too.

Looking at the atmosphere of the dormitory, Urihi asked to go in later with the engineering students, but Diene decided to enter.

I have already felt with my own body that this bizarre incident is not ordinary.

I don’t know what kind of confidence Adrias went in alone, but I was worried.

“Is it lunchtime now?”

Yurihi rubbed her arms with both hands and looked around.

Diene immediately lit up the surroundings with her light magic in a more gloomy atmosphere than before.

“Definitely strange. Is there no light?”

When I looked around at Kelly’s question, all the windows in the hallway were covered with black cloth.

Urich and Kelly hadn’t been to Ash Dormitory before, so they didn’t find it strange, but Diene was different.

“No.”

“yes?”

“Those cloths. It wasn’t there when I was there before.”

Yurihi, who grew goosebumps at Diene’s words, spoke brightly.

“Are you talking about the last investigation? Could someone have done it after that?”

“Why are you covering the windows with a black cloth? who? In the first place, no one can come in here.”

“that… … .”

Realizing that something was wrong, the three gradually stepped back.

“Let’s go at once. Call the investigators who were supposed to be with you first.”

“okay. I think senior Kelly is right. Let’s go out at once.”

Then an unknown scream came from inside.

Chiaaa!

“Adrias!”

Diane ran once and saw it.

Urihi reluctantly followed her, and Kelly had no choice but to follow them.

And an amazing sight was unfolding before their eyes.

―Kyaaaaagh!

A man in a robe was holding something in the shape of a black humanoid in one hand, with the other holding a sword.

Looking closely, I could see that Adrias was holding his chin with his fingers inserted into the mouth of something bizarre. In that state, he pressed down on the floor and was aiming his sword as if to stab it. He stabbed his sword without hesitation.

– Interrupt!

Yurihi covered her ears at that grotesque scream.

“What the hell is that!”

Something bizarre was scattered as smoke.

And after having done something bizarre, Adrias stood up and said,

“There are still more.”

Then he gestured.

“Right after.”
