Necromancer’s Evolutionary Traits Chapter 117

Episode 117. Ghost town

sucks!

– Kreureuk.

The huge monster’s torso slowly collapsed.

Then the figure of the person behind it appeared.

“Ha ha, cursed seed.”

Evan von Orleon.

The only three heretic inquisitors and Aura Masters in the Holy Kingdom of Kasion.

He was a man with the nickname of the light of kindness.

After chasing after Luna Pendragon while helping in the war against the Orcs, he was troubled by the traces leading deep into the Great Forest.

To be honest, I didn’t have a sense of mission that far, so I wondered if I had to follow her, but I was curious about why a man named Barry Sanders, who was said to have captured Luna Pendragon and the Oak Road, had come to the Great Forest, so I was following him.

‘Barry Sanders. He’s a necromancer enough to catch an Aura Master… … .’

A name I’ve never heard of.

However, it was also unusual that such a necromancer did not make his name known.

Thinking that perhaps a famous warlock was using a pseudonym, Evan guessed that there must be an important reason why the two powerful warlocks came to the Great Forest.

“Hmm.”

found a trace

It was a sign that passed quickly.

And the trail ended in an odd location.

The trail ended near some common tree, but nothing else was found.

They were two people who had disappeared as if they had risen into the sky or sunk to the ground.

After looking around slowly in place for a while, Evan approached the tree where the last trace remained and drew his sword.

His sword imbued with the protection of the sun began to burn, exuding an aura of pure white light.

“Please forgive me.”

Kwaaang-!

An explosion erupted at Evan’s knife.

As an Auror Master who competed on equal footing with the legendary witch Eve Millennium, his skills were one of the ten best monsters on the continent.

With just one swing, all the trees around me explode… … .

His attack, which contained tremendous heat and power, eventually revealed the hidden barrier.

“this this… … .”

Evan smiled.

As soon as he touched the exposed barrier with mana, the seemingly ordinary tree changed its shape and turned into an arched door.

Evan inserted the sword, shook off his pure white greaves and reverently opened the door.

Then there was an abyss.

“Haha, that’s interesting.”

It was also a place that black magicians could aim for.

Evan, who wanted to know as soon as possible what the two of them were up to, stretched out his feet without hesitation as he smiled.

* * *

The scenery revealed after passing through the arched wooden door was different from what I expected.

Lively streets with many people and bright sunlight.

In the middle of such a place, I stood at a distance.

“Give it back!”

“Nope? Take it away!”

The cries of the children passing by me were vivid.

Where the hell are you?

First of all, we had to find Luna.

“Luna!”

I was worried that we might have fallen apart.

Apparently, as soon as I passed the arched door, a message appeared saying that it was a hidden dungeon.

As such, there was a high probability that this place was a unique type of dungeon.

‘Or all of this is my misunderstanding.’

Then, in the distance, I saw someone flying in the air.

“Luna.”

Feeling relieved that I had found Luna, I jumped up and stepped on the roof of a shopping mall.

People’s attention was focused, but there was no time to care.

“ah! friend!”

thank god.

Since I couldn’t figure out the identity of this dungeon, I wondered if all of this was fantasy magic.

‘Wouldn’t Luna be an illusion?’

There was still too little information to find out.

Luna immediately came to where I was, but Rulf was still riding on her shoulder.

“look! What is it here? I was startled!”

I wasn’t surprised either.

After hearing more from Luna, when I flew through the air and looked around, she said that this is a small city and the outside of the city is foggy.

He told me that I appeared in a situation where I was about to go out into the fog outside the city and said something even more surprising.

“These people are not all living people.”

“You mean a ghost?”

For a moment, I looked down at the people passing by on the street without even realizing it.

“huh. I don’t think this is an ordinary place.”

It’s completely different from the ghosts I thought of.

Honestly, if it wasn’t for Luna, who has a special ability, I wouldn’t have known it was a ghost.

There is a possibility that it might be regarded as advanced fantasy magic, but I never thought of it as dead people.

“It’s a real ghost town.”

“Is that a ghost town your friend was looking for?”

“It is not.”

I came to find the tomb of the Fire Dragon, not to find such a strange dungeon.

I wondered if it was right to call this a dungeon in the first place.

No matter how you look at it, it was just a lively city, and if Luna was right, they were like ghosts.

“First, we need to gather information. In any case, you should know in advance how to get out of here.”

“Then I’ll go out of town and see! See you later over there.”

There was an inn where Luna pointed.

It was a little creepy to hear that it was an inn in a ghost town, but it looked just like a normal inn.

“hey! What are you doing there on the roof of someone else’s shop! Come down now!”

Then a middle-aged man shouted at us from under the building.

At that vividness, I shook my head and said.

“It’s really like a ghost crying.”

“Is the ghost going to cry? What is it?”

“There is such a thing. Let’s scatter for now and see you at that inn after a while.”

“okay!”

After that, Luna swam in the air again and I came down from the building.

“Ignore? At least apologize!”

“Yes, sorry.”

After I apologized neatly, the middle-aged man grumbled and went back into the store.

is that a ghost? Is it so vivid?

If it wasn’t for Luna, I wouldn’t have noticed.

‘Did they know that they were ghosts in the first place?’

Even I wouldn’t have known if it wasn’t for Luna, but do the people involved really know?

Even if I spoke, I was vague, thinking that I would probably be treated like a madman.

In the first place, I had to know what this place was and what kind of place it was.

The message I heard clearly was a hidden dungeon named ‘Repeated Nightmare’.

‘It’s an ominous name.’

And before that message, it was also said to be the place where the dragon died.

It seemed certain that the Fire Dragon had died here.

However, seeing that the title was not a tomb but a place of death, the nuance that he died in an unexpected event was stronger.

‘The dragon chooses a place to die and ends the rest of its life there. That’s why the word dragon’s grave came out… … .’

It was an ominous sign in many ways.

What secrets does this seemingly ordinary city hold?

* * *

The sun was going down.

In the meantime, I’ve been asking here and there, should I call them ghosts? I was able to get some info anyway.

‘The name of the city is Lethe. And people don’t know they’re ghosts. It’s clear that the concept of death exists here as well.’

During the investigation, the people were normal enough to wonder if Luna was mistaken.

The common sense and behavior of people who were not at all different from the outside world made me very confused.

‘But it became clear in the end that it was a ghost.’

Even though they were wounded, they did not bleed.

It was a scene that I happened to witness by accident, but I could witness two sturdy men punching each other.

Their skin was torn and their mouths were open, but no blood was shed.

It became clear when I saw that the people around me who saw it did not wonder at all.

That they are ghosts.

‘Luna is late.’

When I first came to my senses here, it was around the time the sun was up in the middle of the sky, so quite some time had passed.

I entered the inn that I had promised in advance and was waiting for Luna, but Luna, who said she was coming after looking around outside the foggy city, was strangely late.

‘Honestly, I thought you’d come before me and wait.’

Maybe something bad happened?

Luna’s skills are superhuman, on par with Warlocks and Aura Masters.

I wasn’t worried because she was like that, but I was a little worried because it was a secret place.

‘Hidden Dungeon. It’s a type of dungeon that I’ve never seen before in the game. It mainly appeared only in places related to ancient ruins.’

It was also a place that gave unexpected rewards if you just cleared it, but the difficulty and difficulty eventually led to the character being erased and raised again.

I never imagined that such a hidden dungeon could exist in a place like this.

‘Then, is this place also related to ancient ruins? Information is still lacking.’

First of all, since it was the first day, I had no intention of overdoing it.

I need to find out step by step.

Kuduk.

“hmm?”

strange sensation.

Looking around, I could feel everyone in the tavern looking at me.

Goosebumps rose from the back at the sudden situation.

“What is it?”

I tried to talk to them, but they didn’t move, looking at me like an emotionless doll.

Dae-Ang – Dae-Ang.

A bell rang somewhere in the city, and night quickly approached.

And the people who had been looking at me all at once began to change into shapes like black smoke.

“What is this again… … .”

It was an unknown gimmick.

It didn’t seem like a favorable reaction at all, so I immediately jumped up and left the inn.

Outside, however, the situation was similar.

―Go oh oh.

Black smoke emitting strange cries came towards me at high speed.

I pulled out my sword and stepped back, wielding a sword wind, but they continued to pursue me as if no physical force was working.

Quaaaaang-!

A roar erupted from far away.

“Luna?”

I tailed the black smoke and ran out to where the noise came from.

Kwaaang!

Permeability!

Upon arriving at the place, a completely unexpected person was spraying light in a pure white outfit.

I was able to come up with a character in the game when I recalled the memory because the appearance was somehow familiar.

“Evan von Orleon?”

How is the author here?

Did you come before us? Or follow… … ?

Evan was clearing the smoke by spraying a glowing white aura.

Unlike my aura, the black smoke that Evan’s aura couldn’t attack recklessly scattered and gathered repeatedly.

“ah! You are Barry Sanders.”

Evan finally found me and smiled brightly.

That said, I could tell he didn’t know my true identity, but I couldn’t be relieved.

He is the Aura Master of Kasion Holy Kingdom.

And the Kasion Holy Kingdom was a group that hated warlocks more than the empire.

‘Evan is the Aura Master who was in charge of Eve Millennium. A monster obsessed with light to the extent of being bizarre.’

As long as he was in charge of Eve Millennium, his skills were enough, needless to say.

Kasion Seongguk became a strong ally when I played other playables, but now I am a warlock.

You’ll never see anything good.

“Where is Luna Pendragon? Or, first of all, did you create these black and vile things?”

“I do not know either. Did you come after us?”

“To be precise, I was chasing Luna Pendragon, but it just went well.”

Kwajing!

Evan charged me at breakneck speed.

I hurriedly summoned my undead and raised my sword to block his attack.

Fu-wook!

“Kheop!”

He used his aura secret without hesitation.

A sword made of light.

Dozens of swords were floating around him.

“I am not off guard. Go in peace.”

With Evan still speaking with a smile on his face, dozens of light swords were driven into me.

Fubububuk!

* * *

“Give it back!”

“I don’t like it? Take it away!”

My stomach rumbled.

After coming to my senses after hearing an unknown noise… … .

“Huh!”

I took a deep breath and looked around.

And I was able to check.

That the scene when you just entered the dungeon is unfolding.

Children passed by me.

As if in a dream, my head was not organized in an incomprehensible reality.

It’s like… … .

“return?”
