Necromancer’s Evolutionary Traits

Episode 175. The power of 4 years

“It’s too late.”

Maximin, who was having breakfast, said something out of the blue.

At his words, Isabel and Merkur, who were eating together, opened their eyes wide and looked at him.

“What do you mean all of a sudden?”

“Adrias is late. I’ll just have to eat this and go check it out.”

Maximin, who said lightly as if he was going out to drink, started to eat.

Merkur laughed at his words.

“You must be kidding, right?”

“Maximin never jokes.”

Isabelle said with a laugh.

Seeing that obviousness, Merkur’s expression became dazed.

“You’re going to just go to Rastilia without being invited? In the first place, it is surrounded by barriers, so it is not a place that anyone can enter.”

“I’m having a lot of trouble eating. Don’t worry, I won’t harm the Hwanin tribe.”

“Isn’t that what it means!”

“Mercourt.”

Maximin put down the spoon.

Mercury flinched at Maximin’s reaction, but… … .

“Don’t worry.”

Maximin showed an unusual smile and said.

“Only God can defeat me on this continent.”

Quagga gagak!

Seogung!

The walls came down and the air around me changed.

It felt like the flow of time in this space was broken.

‘The sword method itself was made to break this place.’

The sword swung along the grain of the World Tree.

Although the purpose itself was to destroy this space, it was an SS-class swordsmanship.

It was to the point of wondering what kind of power would have come out if the Transcendentalist who created this sword had made it with a different intention.

Even after destroying the space, I didn’t feel it because I was inside the world tree in the end.

After being imprisoned for four years, the faces of the elves who came with them were blurred.

‘I’ve grown my hair a lot too.’

When I was doing a quest due to a penalty, I had no time to worry about my hair, so I grew it as it was.

After raising it like that, it felt like a symbol of the ordeal I went through for four years, so I was tying my clothes with cut cloth.

Of course, it was after all the undead were summoned.

Now, you should be able to find the root like this.

‘I don’t have to look for Hoir and Hougen, right?’

The son of a glutton was strong.

That’s why I was thinking of dragging Hoir or Hougen to deal with it instead, but now I don’t have to.

Now, I am a swordsman genius and have learned the transcendent swordsmanship.

It was to the point where I wondered if an equal fight would be possible even if the Aura Master came.

The question is how to get to the root… … .

Deuk Deuk.

When I turned around at the sudden sound, the space I had destroyed started to be restored again.

“ah!”

Will it be repaired anyway?

Then, wouldn’t it be okay to just penetrate in the direction where the roots are?

‘It’s going to be restored anyway.’

If the elves heard it, they immediately pulled out Galaksur, thinking that they would be frightened.

My goal is to have roots underground.

I aimed my sword at the floor and recalled the sword technique left by the transcendent.

‘Should I decide the name of the method?’

As I swung the sword as it was, the sword moved along the grain of the World Tree.

Squeak.

Awesome!

I threw myself straight into the crack in the softly cut floor.

And a presence that can be felt right away.

―What is it?

A giant caterpillar that sounded cute at first glance, but didn’t look like it at all, reacted as it saw me falling.

And while I was holding the sword, I cut a caterpillar with a question and answer dance.

Awesome!

– Kwyit!

Monsters that lived inside the World Tree were classified as high-risk monsters elsewhere.

This caterpillar was just a gigantic insect on the outside, but it means that it is a monster that can not be vigilant.

―Kirit!

As the caterpillar died spraying green bodily fluid, dozens of black beetles came from somewhere.

Is it the adult of that caterpillar?

These are insects that Lanox, whom I killed in the Krates Mountains, would like to see.

‘It’s suitable for relieving stress. I also gather with both sides.’

It was the first time I had ever seen a monster that lived inside the World Tree.

I’ll have to test it out to see if I can use it as an ingredient for a potion.

Quagga Gagagak!

When I swung the sword, the upper and lower bodies of the guys were separated in an instant.

I was scratching my head at the fight that ended so quickly that I couldn’t even tell if they were weak or if I had become stronger.

“I guess I counted?”

what is good is good

I immediately collected the by-products of the monsters and continued downstairs.

* * *

“Sir-sama!”

When Seir turned his head at the voice calling him, Vandalieu came running with hasty steps.

“What is it?”

“There is a trail in front of me!”

“Human traces?”

“That is… … It looks like the traces of Elder Hougen or Elder Hoir. The colony of Katfrak was devastated.”

“I will go.”

With Vandalieu’s guidance, they went straight to the place where insectoid monsters with black shells and larvae were slaughtered in droves.

Seir came to the conclusion that he never thought that Adrias had done it because they were not easygoing monsters.

“I think it must be Hougen or Hoir. It might be nearby, so be careful.”

“But this trace is a little strange.”

“hmm?”

“I tried to track it just in case, but it was a trace as if it had been dug into the ground.”

“That is a big deal.”

At the root, the world tree was corrupting by the offspring of the monsters he had planted himself after listening to the organization’s orders.

Seir felt impatient because he didn’t want Hougen or Hoir to find out.

“I guess we should leave humans alone and go from the roots.”

“Do you know the way?”

“It has an artifact that can track the body odor of its cubs.”

When he took out a small crystal-shaped artifact from his bosom, the crystal that absorbed mana shimmered.

“You should first look for traces of the others and join them if you can. I will go to the root like this.”

“All right.”

Vandalieu nodded and went in search of the others.

Seir, who watched the scene, saw the artifact and started running toward the root.

This plan was planned over 100 years ago.

It will come to fruition soon, but I never expected that this would happen.

‘I thought I would finally break the rotten elves’ thoughts, but only humans… … .’

He planned to finish this job safely and deal with the human named Adrias brutally.

It was unforgivable that the lowest creatures, such as humans, tried to twist the grand plan of the organization.

‘trace!’

Seir, following the artifact’s guide, found traces of someone breaking the floor and descending, and immediately used spiritism.

The Earth Spirit scanned the traces left on the floor and immediately handed over the information to Seir.

“human?”

I hope it can’t be… … .

However, there was no way the Earth Spirit could misunderstand.

Does that mean that it was also a human who slaughtered the Katfrak colony earlier?

‘In the worst case, either Hoir or Hougen could be with humans. But you said you broke the floor? Hoir or Hugen?’

If Hougen was with humans, he had no confidence to stop it by force.

He is, in name and reality, the strongest swordsman among elves.

However, if it was Hoir, he was confident to some extent with a surprise attack through carelessness.

I had doubts about hurting the world tree, but first I had to go down quickly.

At least, if they didn’t find only cubs in the roots, there was still a chance to block them.

Because he had the artifact, he had the confidence to go faster than anyone else, so he decided to hurry.

When he commands the wind spirit like that, he moves towards his goal at tremendous speed.

crackle!

“Hmm?”

An artifact has sent an abnormal signal.

And seeing that, Seir’s pupils widened.

“I’m dead… … ?”

As it is an artifact to manage the offspring of the monster, the number of objects and whether they are alive or dead could also be confirmed.

But it just went down from 10 to 9.

“no… … . no!”

Aside from the ones that have already arrived, they are finding and killing the pups!

At this rate, the 100-year-old mission to degenerate the World Tree would fail, and his position in the organization would decline.

It means imminent death.

“Some kind of worm… … .”

Seir, his ears red from anger, glared at the floor.

After all, it seems that the opponent broke the floor and went down.

Otherwise, this speed didn’t make sense.

‘Even if you run like this, it will take a whole day. Same with the traces I saw earlier… … It’s going down through the floor.’

Then I can’t be alone.

Seir’s sword was imbued with the energy of a violent wind.

It was the manifestation of Aura Biggi.

“Huh!”

Quagga Gagagak!

Violent wind energy began to pierce the floor.

I felt tremendous resistance, but soon the floor broke through and I began to see below.

Seir couldn’t even think of how his opponent had penetrated the floor and descended underground due to his rage.

I just kept going underground with the aura rain I used.

Quaang!

Seir, who had come down to the place where the roots were located in an instant, turned on the light in his eyes and looked around.

“found.”

In his eyes, speaking in an eerie voice, the person he was looking for finally caught his eye.

A figure poking his sword at something resembling a huge mass of flesh clinging to the root of the World Tree.

The flesh-shaped monster the size of a house opened its mouth and resisted, but the human attacked with a sword at great speed.

―Queueek!

Push!

The swords swung once naturally connected and drew a line.

The lines were disassembled along the texture of the baby monster.

‘What the hell is that swordsmanship… … . Are humans really that strong?’

Then Adrias turned his head.

“Have you come now? You are late.”

Seir, who had been delirious until he came down, was awakened by the cold and impassive Adrias.

‘what?’

Swordsmanship is also swordsmanship, but that is a bastard of gluttony.

Knowing that fact, he knew that it was no ordinary monster.

However, that human killed the gluttonous offspring as if he were taking out something from his pocket.

“What happened during this day?”

The appearance has also changed.

The Adrias Cromwell he knew was not like that.

Unlike before, her hair was long enough to reach her waist, and her body shape changed at a glance.

A body shape that seems to be optimized for handling a sword.

“well.”

The human brushed off the blood on the sword and slowly approached.

Since he wouldn’t know that he was an enemy anyway, Seir spoke to him calmly, preparing for an aura.

“What is that monster? I’ve never heard of a monster like that in the World Tree.”

“What about the other elves?”

“I am the only one. The trail leads here, so I came first. What’s the answer to that?”

“okay?”

Adrias grinned.

“Good.”

“human?”

Sukang!

Quadrupeduddeuk———!

Adrias’ sudden attack swayed Seir’s sword as if it were about to break.

Before the embarrassed Seir could say anything, Adrias’ attacks continued like flowing water.

However, Seir was also using a secret technique for Aura, so he was not easily defeated.

“What are you doing!”

Seir tried to shout, but Adrias didn’t even answer and continued to swing his sword.

Adrias’ swordsmanship was not at all ordinary to Seir.

The attack that started once became linked and continued biting tail after tail.

It didn’t matter if it was a simple continuous attack, but the problem was power.

Kaga gaga gaga river!

The opponent’s sword scanned his gap.

“human! Were you a great warrior too!”

I couldn’t help but think so.

Even though he is a swordsman who has just become a great warrior, he is definitely a great warrior.

There was no way an ordinary swordsman could push himself to this extent.

Koo Goo Goo!

First of all, he used the earth spirit to raise the ground up.

At this rate, I would only be dragged around, so I had to cut off the pulse.

when you try to keep that distance.

Fu-wook!

“Kuk!”

Awls made of soil protruded from the ground he had raised up and stabbed his whole body.

He hurriedly stopped the awls, but eventually gave up one of his arms to protect the vitals.

“Magic?”

It was definitely magic.

When I was confused by the situation I didn’t understand, Adrias approached me slowly and asked.

“Are you a master?”

“profit! Why the hell are you doing this to me!”

“Why? You quenched your gluttony.”

how do you do that

Doubts kept hitting my head.

And I asked with hope.

“Did you send it from the organization?”

“group? ah! Are you talking about the sin?”

“As expected, it was sent from the organization. Why the hell are you persecuting me? You’ve done your job well so far!”

Seir stopped the bleeding on one arm and tried to distance himself from Adrias.

I don’t know what the heck he did, but he couldn’t fight while being injured against a human whose strength was equal to his own.

First of all, we had to overcome this crisis and promise the next one.

“You keep being optimistic, so why do you think you are a member of an organization just because you know the scene?”

“what?”

“Rather, you might know because you’re an enemy, right? Why did I have to kill those gluttonous bastards?”

“no… … .”

Adrias straightened his sword to make a decision.

Seeing this, Seir raised his sword with a pale face.

‘If you don’t care… … .’

It was a disaster that occurred because the opponent did not think that he knew his identity.

If things went on like this, it would be difficult to secure both the world tree corruption plan and his own life.

Quaang!

“ah!”

When despair fell like that, something descended from the hole Seir had dug and in an instant blocked Adrias’s path.

Seir’s expression brightened at the sudden appearance of a person.

“Elder Hugen!”

“There was a trace, so I followed it… … .”

The shiny bald head stood out.

“It’s shit. What the hell is this?”

Hougen looked at Adrias and Seir and drew out his twin swords.
