Necromancer’s Evolutionary Traits Chapter 210

[ Episode 210. Madness vs madness]

The swordsman who suddenly appeared at Vivian’s words slowly turned his head to look at her.

Behind the mask, the shining blue eyes created a ghostly atmosphere.

“Ah…”

Upon realizing that it was the masked swordsman, not Adrias, Vivian let out a sad sigh and slowly lowered her sword.

It was the swordsman of the mask seen in the previous battle.

A mysterious swordsman who somehow resembles Adrias.

“thank you.”

Vivian looked at him and thanked him.

Then the masked swordsman silently nodded once and stood next to her as if escorting her.

Although he couldn’t figure out the identity, it was clear that it was an ally, so Vivian was able to breathe in peace.

Looking around, dark red skeletons with horns were slaughtering barbarians.

The battle that spread to the inside of the outer castle was a scene of quarrels where it was unknown who was the ally and who was the enemy.

Tuk-tuk.

“huh?”

Vivian saw the swordsman of the mask touching her.

He pointed to his introspection and made a gesture wishing Vivian would back off.

“are you okay?”

nod

The masked swordsman took off his gauntlet slightly.

Seeing her hands withered like a mummy, Vivian was genuinely amazed.

“You were undead.”

Aside from the fact that the masked swordsman was accompanied by the undead, Vivian was naturally thought to be human because she possessed such outstanding skills.

Once I realized it, I realized why I hadn’t noticed this masked swordsman approaching.

‘No breathing, no pulse.’

It was a matter of course, but as an undead, he had no physiological phenomena of his body.

That’s why the masked swordsman, who was more secretive than an assassin who had been trained to a certain extent, showed a gesture not to worry and beckoned Vivian to step back.

“It will be difficult.”

said Vivian, looking forward.

No matter how strong he was and how strong the red and black skeletons came with him, the difference in numbers was too great.

If barbarians who had not yet crossed the wall joined in, it was clear that only a few hundred supporters would be annihilated.

Tadak!

The masked swordsman shook his head.

In the end, Vivian also backed away at his act of saying that there was no problem.

She was grateful that he had saved her, but she didn’t want to die either.

‘Adrias.’

Leaving behind the undead swordsman who somehow felt his energy, Vivian joined the resistance.

**

Even though resistance was pushed out, the situation did not change much.

Upon seeing Vivian return, Magner hurriedly opened the castle gate, locked it again, and watched as the mysterious undead helped him.

“It bought me some time, but it will only be for a moment.”

Horan, the manager, muttered next to him.

It’s true later, but while they were fighting in the outer castle for a long time, the lord Hicksham had fled.

When this fact became known through the soldiers, morale plummeted.

If it weren’t for those mysterious undead, they would have been able to break through quickly even after retreating into the castle.

“Now, if the barbarians retreat, the undead will come again.”

“What should we do? I can’t believe that the empire’s potential is only this much.”

“It must have happened because everyone was looking for a safe battlefield.”

Everyone knew of Borgien’s difficult situation.

However, the lords of the empire wanted to take care of only small feats while preserving their troops in a safe battlefield rather than saving Borgien.

There was a clear reason why the lords were dying.

No matter how much the emperor promised a plausible reward, the first reason is that the standard is not clear, and this war is a fight with the north, which has nothing to eat, so in many ways, it is a war that has more losses than benefits.

In such a war, they would not have wanted to consume the soldiers they had raised by pouring gold.

“Then do we have to die like dogs?”

“Horan. Didn’t you say that right away? Run away.”

“… such a dog!”

Unable to hold back his anger, Horan hit the wall of the castle.

The cause of his anger was, of course, the lord’s unauthorized escape.

The resentment seemed to pierce the sky as the lord, who would have risked his life to protect it, disappeared without a word, leaving his people and subordinates behind.

“If you feel so unfair, take your family and run away. Everyone knows what you’ve been through, so there’s no one to blame.”

“Is that what you mean? To begin with, I am an orphan with no family. Please don’t keep talking like a dog while you know it.”

While Horan was screaming with emotion, Vivian approached and nodded her head.

Fione, who had waited silently for Vivian to come, ran crying.

“Seniors! Hehe…”

Vivian awkwardly hugged Pione and said to Magner.

“The enemy keeps coming over. It’s not enough.”

“We know. That’s why I’m suggesting, but I want all the supporters from the academy to escape through the back door of the castle.”

At Magner’s words, the surviving students on the inner wall made troubled faces.

They also wanted to run away, but they couldn’t express it because they felt sorry for the soldiers who were with them.

“You guys have done well enough. Sir Vivian in particular, your performance was dazzling.”

Borghien’s soldiers and knights also nodded in understanding.

They didn’t want the young students of the academy to die in vain in a place like this.

After all, they are foreigners.

Their hometown was Borgien, or their position was different from those who settled here.

“So please let me go. Before it gets any more dangerous.”

After Magner finished speaking, the soldiers added one more word.

“What are you going to do when the lord has abandoned this place? Leave this place to us and leave quickly.”

“We are natives here anyway. I can’t even think of living anywhere else, so when I die, I think I’ll line up here. You don’t have to. Rather, if you remain, it will only make your heart uncomfortable, so please leave quickly.”

Eventually, the students began to gather one by one.

“Horan. You will lead them.”

“I mean?”

“They need someone to guide them on their way out. Even you, a commanding officer, know the way to the back door of the inner sanctuary. Besides, we need someone to prove that they didn’t just run away. You would be good enough for the role.”

When Magner gave him justification, Horan eventually lowered his head.

As an orphan, he obviously had nothing to protect here, but he needed to worry about abandoning the land he had been living for decades.

“Come on. If you delay any longer, you will not get out.”

At Magner’s words, the students looked at Horan with nervous eyes.

As most of them were descendants of aristocratic families, they had no desire to die in a place like this.

“……All right.”

Having made up his mind, Horan nodded.

Soon he took a deep breath and called the students of the academy together.

“All those who applied from the academy, follow me!”

When they finally had hope that they could live, the students couldn’t hide their expressions.

It was an expression that I had been managing with great effort, but as I watched with a nervous heart, I couldn’t help but feel great joy.

“We’ll go quickly too, senior.”

Phione grabbed Vivian’s arm.

Vivian was also meekly drawn to Pione because she knew there was no reason to stay here any longer.

“Puff.”

Then someone’s unbearable laughter rang in everyone’s ears.

It was not a situation to laugh at all, so everyone turned their heads to look at the person who burst into laughter.

Dressed as an ordinary soldier, he showed no sign of stopping his laughter even though all eyes were focused on him.

“Which unit are you soldiers in? Why are you smiling?”

“Puhahahaha!”

Even though Magner stepped forward and brushed off the soldier, the soldier, who responded with a louder laugh, soon wiped away his tears and controlled his breathing.

“Oh my gosh. oh sorry sorry I was so full of tears that I couldn’t control my emotions.”

“Aren’t you a soldier here?”

“haha. of course. Would you have laughed like this if you were a soldier?”

At his words, everyone surrounded him with a wary look.

“Is it a black magician?”

“Is that important now? Do you not know what it means for me to be here?”

“Kill!”

As Magner spoke, he drew his sword and charged at him.

And the people around him who heard the order rushed at him at once.

“You insignificant seeds. How dare you guys lay a finger on me?”

A black cloud of smoke enveloped him, and lightning flashed around him.

Seeing that, Magner immediately blocked the magic and shouted.

“Not a necromancer! Be vigilant!”

I thought it might be the one who summoned the undead, but it wasn’t.

Not necromancy, but powerful black magic, and the soldiers around were burned in an instant.

“Quaaaaagh!”

People began to writhe in pain not only from the lightning, but also from the cloud of poison that began to spread thickly around them.

The sudden blow left enormous damage on the walls.

“Follow me quickly!”

Horan made a quick decision.

Even if we stop that warlock anyway, the fall of Borgien is a foregone fact.

The plan to escape has not changed.

“Where are you going? Why would I have to reveal my identity?”

However, the warlock quickly caught up with them.

Due to the black magician standing in their way, the students who eventually took out their swords and staffs confronted each other in fear.

“It’s really just kids together. If you’re not a noble, these minnows aren’t even worth catching.”

“this guy!”

Magner, who followed belatedly, swung his greatsword and fired at the warlock.

However, the black magician laughed at such a Magner and used magic.

Ugh-

Black thorns sprouted from the ground Magner was running towards.

He swung his sword and broke the thorns, but he couldn’t block them all because he ran recklessly.

Bububuk!

“Kuk.”

“how is it? How does it feel to be a skewer? It will be delicious if you bake it like this.”

The students, noticing that he was a seasoned black magician, shrank even more.

In fact, it is unknown how powerful a warlock he is, but the notoriety of warlocks within the empire has played a part in making the students discouraged.

‘What should I do…’

Pione’s head turned furiously at the unexpected crisis that came behind her hopes.

She began to think about whether she should at least sell Fade’s name in order to live.

“Horan. Take the kids and run away.”

Then Vivian stepped forward.

In terms of skill alone, he was on the same level as Magner, the leader of the Knights of Borgien, or even better.

However, her status as an academy student lowered the evaluation of her, but she was undeniably strong.

“i get it.”

Horan accepted without a word.

I’ve already given up too many things to take care of my pride.

He shouted at the students as he stepped forward and saw Vivian stand in the way of the warlock.

“run!”

Shortly after, Horan started running, and the students ran after him.

“Do you see me as water?”

The warlock showed a mad smile and used magic again.

At the same time, Vivian approached the warlock with the speed of a flash.

“Do you know why we are fearful?”

The black magician smiled as he looked at Vivian, who had come right in front of him.

“Because it is unpredictable.”

Perong!

The talking warlock swelled up and exploded, causing a huge explosion.

Caught in the explosion, Vivian was blown backwards in great shock.

“We have a mentality that criminals cannot judge.”

“That’s why the Empire fears and oppresses us.”

Another soldier nearby smiled and said in turn.

By that time, Magner, who had barely managed to get the thorn stuck in his body, made a dejected expression.

“What the hell are you…….”

“Don’t think about leaving alive. There is no hope for you as long as the ‘assembly’ is held.”

All of a sudden, countless soldiers started laughing like crazy with their eyes turned white.

At the same time as the mad scene, Horan and the students were blocked by the black barrier and could not go under the wall.

“How is this possible? It’s me, but you must have noticed that the Auror Master, Lord Layton, was with you.”

“I want to know? yes let me know It’s because your master, Hiksham Borgien, sacrificed you and let us in here. I’ve been here a while ago haha!”

“What is that…”

Magner’s head went blank.

It was not enough to just run away, so he sold everyone to live only for himself and his family.

Everyone’s expression went rotten, regardless of you.

“Yeah, that look! It’s literally the driving force that allows me to feel emotions! more! more! Feel the despair, you insignificant servants!”

My inner self fell into a swamp of frustration and despair.

But that was the moment.

A

long whistle filled the air.

Realizing that it was the barbarians’ whistles, the soldiers possessed by the warlock tilted their heads.

“retreat?”

At that time, Borghien’s soldier who was on the watchtower shouted.

“That front! The flags of our allies are shaking in front of the outer castle!”

“Allied flags? Is it support!”

Magner was surprised to hear that support, which he expected would take at least a few days, had arrived.

And that information surprised even the warlock.

“Strange. I’m sure the surroundings must have been blocked…”

While he was muttering, the soldier shouted again.

“Flag identified!”

“somewhere?”

“It is the flag of the Earl of Cromwell, and there is not one flag!”

“Cromwell? rest of it?”

“Mohaime! It is the coat of arms of the Duke of Morhaime!”

“Mohaime!”

The Morhaiim family had many nicknames and nicknames, but only one was the most famous.

Predatory Morhaime.

The heroes of the real madness that once bled the West were approaching.
