Necromancer’s Evolutionary Traits Chapter 253

The strongest necromancer by evolution trait (253)

The one who chases the skin of the sun

“First right.”

Along with my shout, Vivian rushed out.

Just in time, bloodhounds pouring out from the right corner bared their teeth at Vivian.

“Center No. 5. I will go too.”

The 36th floor is also known as defense.

There are 9 roads, and at the end of the road there is a huge crystal ball that we must protect.

I shouted at the location of the crystal ball for the route where the monsters came out, and the rest of the staff handled the monsters according to my briefing.

Uh-oh—!

Bubbeobuck!

Awls of ice fell from the sky, and thorns made of earth rose from the ground.

Diene’s magic, which shows efficient operation with minimal magical power, neatly dealt with the monsters.

“The fourth wave is coming soon. Take a breath.”

“You are so amazing. This is your first challenge on the 36th floor, right?”

Garnett asked me with a genuine admiration, not empty words.

I can’t say that I have experience in the game, so I just covered it up.

“Thanks to Garnet. And there are some things I heard from Namgoong Ilyoung.”

“Gathering actual information and using it in practice are two different areas. I’m only saying this because I think you’re feeling burdened, but you’re really amazing.”

Garnett was quick to notice.

And he was deeply caring.

It’s strange that I’m a doll that looks more like a human than a human.

“The wave has started. All ready.”

At least the 40th floor is where Garnet really plays an important role.

Since the highest score in my game is the 55th floor, it was no exaggeration to say that most of the high floors require garnets.

‘But the 55th floor… … .’

Then a monster popped out.

I cried mechanically.

“Eight on the left. Diane! Please help Garnet.”

Still on the 30th floor.

It was time to run without stopping.

Cromwell, a territory located in the southwestern part of the Laudelian Empire.

Now, as the handover is slowly over and stabilization is underway, a valuable guest has visited.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry. It would have been better if I could have seen Adrias.”

Minus personally came from Morheim, not too far away.

He had just arrived at the lord’s castle after taking a look around Cromwell.

“If it’s the Earl of Cromwell, I think he’ll probably come out in a few more months.”

Amy greeted Minus and answered politely and drank the tea in front of her.

It’s already been three months since Adrias Cromwell entered the tower.

While there were already people coming out of the tower, the news of him was also conveyed.

“No news is good news. The higher the tower climbs, the higher the expectations.”

“More than that, Your Highness, did you see the Shadow Fang on the way?”

“No, not yet. I heard the news just before Adrias entered the tower, so it must have been quite some time. can you show me?”

“Sure. I will make arrangements so that Her Highness can choose the child she wants.”

“How big was it?”

“When they were first discovered, they were the size of an adult dog, but now they are about the size of a horse.”

“Hoo. Didn’t you say you could ride it?”

“That’s right. Our zookeepers have properly trained them, so there will be no danger.”

The reason why Minus visited Cromwell in person despite his status as a duke involved complicated political calculations, but the spiritual creature called the Shadow Fang also played a role.

Coincidentally, Minus’ sister Greta, who had come to Cromwell from Morheim, had already gone to see the Shadowfang.

“This is it.”

“The facilities are quite advanced than I thought.”

“I made some investments.”

In the eyes of Minus, the large breeding place close to the meadow and various facilities seemed to be a waste of money.

Minus, who was thorough in calculating money and profit enough to be called one of the richest families, did not feel so welcome to this situation.

“invest? It’s true that it’s a spiritual creature, so it’s true that you need to take care of it, but it seems like it was too much to go this far.”

At that time, a black figure appeared like the wind from afar.

A wolf big enough to be described as gigantic, its size did not seem small even compared to a horse.

“Hey! brother! Can you see this?”

And on top of that, Greta and Dmitri were riding together.

The wolf, which roamed the meadow with overwhelming agility unlike a horse, soon turned freely and stopped in front of Minus.

“… … That’s great.”

“I’m riding all of them one by one now, and I like this one the most!”

Greta seemed amused as she spoke to Minus with a childish look as if she had returned to her childhood.

Seeing this, Minus thought that maybe it wasn’t such a waste.

“Oh hello. Did you tell Morhaime?”

“You?”

“My name is Dmitry Hayen, who is taking care of these children.”

It was rare to find a person who could breed the shadow fangs, which were known to be difficult to raise.

Minus studied Dmitri for a moment and then nodded.

“It is a great ability. Are there any difficulties?”

“It’s a bit difficult because it’s so active and there are a lot of children, but it’s okay.”

“Maybe we can alleviate some of that worry.”

At Minus’ words, Dmitri stroked the wolf’s neck with a bitter expression.

“Socialization training has already been completed. As long as you follow the precautions I have written separately, there will be no big deal.”

“Can I ride too?”

“of course.”

Whiik!

As Dmitri whistled, shadow fangs that had been hiding all over the place popped out.

As all six wolves gathered together, glossy black fur filled the field of view.

“It’s pretty spectacular.”

After Minus looked at him with satisfaction, he looked around slowly and saw a particularly gloomy wolf.

“Can I take a ride on him?”

“Ah, Your Highness. The child already has an owner. He is the only one with a name.”

“hmm? who is the owner Is that Adrias?”

“It’s not like that, but… … . It belongs to Vivian Velokan, who will become a knight of the Cromwell family.”

“Vivian. It’s a name you already know. Did Vivian decide to join Cromwell?”

“After leaving the tower, I decided to take an oath to become a knight.”

“Sergeant.”

Minus nodded and chose another wolf.

I didn’t really care what kind of guy it was, but I just picked it because it reminded me of someone.

“I will ride alone.”

“It can be dangerous if it is your first time… … .”

“are you okay. What!”

Minus, chosen as the darkest one, kicked the wolf in the back.

There was no worry because he had already studied the points to be aware of and how to deal with wolves through correspondence.

“ha ha ha! good!”

Minus shouted at a sense of speed that was on a different level than when riding a horse.

The shadow fangs carrying Minus, as if they knew the feelings of the passengers, also accelerated and ran across the wide land.

“They say it’s a spiritual creature, so are you reading my mind? What a wonderful guy.”

After running for a long time, Minus smiled as he stroked the nape of the wolf, who showed no signs of getting tired.

I felt grateful to Adrias for giving me such a nice guy for free.

He was a guy who was not envied by any famous horse.

Minus, who returned to the place where the party was, got off the wolf and said to Amy.

“I’ll take back what I said earlier.”

“If it’s what you said earlier… … .”

“They said the investment was overdone. I think this is enough money to spend.”

Dmitri, who was listening to the story at that time, said with a smile.

“These facilities are not just for these kids.”

“huh? What do you mean?”

“I prepared this grandiosely for the second generation. Because this is not the end.”

“2 years old?”

For a moment, Minus and Greta thought they had heard it wrong, and chewed the words again.

And when I saw Amy hurriedly trying to stop Dmitri with a gesture asking why she said that, I realized it right away.

“2 years old?”

“Are you saying you’re going to breed these guys? Is that possible?”

Amy tried to manage her expression and answered the two embarrassed voices.

“I’m going to try it first. I don’t know if it will or not. Rather, it seems unlikely… … .”

“The odds aren’t slim… … .”

When Dmitri, who was next to him, muttered again without notice, Amy tried to cover it up with a smile.

“Ho Ho. oh. time is already like this. That’s it. Dmitry? Didn’t you have something to do?”

“hmm? The deputy lord told me to set aside time, saying that I must serve Her Majesty Morhaime at this time… … .”

“Follow me for a moment. ah! How about you take a look at the other guys here too? All of them have their own charm, so they will all feel different.”

“haha! Don’t do that. It doesn’t matter if you don’t have to hide it like that, but it’s a lot of trouble.”

When Minus nodded as if he understood, Amy hurriedly dragged Dmitri away.

“Is that statement true, brother?”

“well. If you’re acting, you might say it’s awkward. In reality, it must have been something. Anyway, as Adrias’ younger brother, I have no intention of being vigilant.”

As they spoke, the sky gradually darkened.

Since it had been sunny just a moment ago, Minus and Greta naturally looked up.

“uh… … ?”

“It’s a solar eclipse… … .”

The black sun was looking over the earth.

* * *

The tower was in the midst of a climbing boom.

The reason was because of the new recruits who came in this year.

“Hey! Clear the 15th floor!”

“good. Let’s go on to the 16th floor as well!”

Jake’s party was one of them.

Jake and his party, who entered last year, lost one of their comrades on the 10th floor and lost their fighting spirit, so their climb was slow.

However, the climbing craze that raged on the tower made even Jake and his party join the climb.

[15th floor… … Jijik.]

“Huh? Why is this?”

Jake, who was celebrating himself, suddenly checked the distorted message.

I thought I had seen it wrong for a moment, but the message was still distorted.

[15… … One… … 159377105702295610… … ]

“What! Why are you doing this?

Jake’s cry was hollow.

Only then did Jake feel something strange, and when he looked away, no one was around.

“uh? Where have you all gone? phut! Gregory! Kale!”

Jureuk.

When Jake turned his gaze to the unknown sound he heard instead of an answer, there was a message window there.

The message was filled with unknown symbols, and soon something like a black liquid began to overflow into reality.

“What! escape! I will stop climbing!”

Jake’s cries went unanswered.

Instead, what was heard was the gurgling sound of a black liquid that gradually increased.

“Fuck! What happened!”

[“Fuck? What happened?”]

“Who is it!”

[“Who is that?”]

The black liquid slowly took shape and began to rise.

A shape similar to that of a human.

However, there were no features, and the whole body was just flat.

“monster?”

[“A monster?”]

Jake swung the mace he was holding and struck it down.

“die!”

[“Dying?”]

Pooh!

Black liquid splattered in all directions.

However, something black in the shape of a human did not fall.

[“iced coffee. human. Ah.”]

“Profit! die!”

Fuck! Fuck!

shiver.

[“Ah, ah. human. Answer.”]

“What the hell are you! Why doesn’t the attack work! Where are my comrades!”

[“human. Is the sun alive?”]

“What?”

[“sun. Are you alive?”]

“What the hell is that… … .”

[“Hmm.”]

The dark humanoid suddenly twisted malformedly and swallowed Jake with its enormous head in an instant.

Kwajik!

What used to be Jake trembled with only two legs left.

[“It’s cheep. sun. I’m alive.”]

The black man who swallowed Jake soon changed into Jake’s appearance.

The black man, who also absorbed Jake’s knowledge, raised his gaze upward.

“The Observer is alive too. Haha.”

said something that had now become Jake, with a creepy grin.

“I will stop climbing.”

Ugh.

Something bathed in light was transmitted to the first floor.
