Necromancer’s Evolutionary Traits Chapter 332

[ Episode 332. The snake and the barrier ]

Ssssss–

The air was cold.

The object that looked like a huge wall was moving slowly but steadily, and we watched the scene in silence for a moment.

“A thing that big…a snake?”

In the end, someone opened their mouth in a disbelieving voice first.

“okay. Can’t you tell by pretending?”

Bahat frowned at someone like that and said.

“A phantom beast or a spirit creature? Or it could be an ancient transcendental species.”

“Nonsense! Even if it is a spirit creature, there is a degree. A creature of that size is only a spirit creature? Besides, if it’s a phantom beast, it means that we’re stepping on the land of phantom beasts, but that doesn’t even make sense.”

shouted Gresley, one of the Warlocks and the wizard who had brought Cashurn.

“Ancient transcendental species is even more impossible. If it’s really an ancient transcendent species, we shouldn’t even be able to breathe.”

They were not normal people, so most of them nodded their heads in agreement.

Bahat seemed to agree with her, but then asked her.

“Then what does that mean? It’s a snake, right?”

“That’s…”

“Is that a giant snake a piece of mana anomaly? I think it’s better to decide on one of the three.”

“Rather than that, where the hell is this? how do i get back Is Bahat space magic unusable?”

Another mage interrupted their conversation, and soon the warlocks started arguing with each other.

“No magic is used.”

“Crazy! What the hell is this?”

It’s not a fuss.

I sneakily rolled the mana from inside my body.

‘Can I?’

When I asked Lucia and Luna just in case, they both replied that mana did not move.

“My heart feels tight.”

“I’m stuck!”

From the two answers, I came up with an assumption.

‘Can’t I just use the mana of the heart?’

Unlike the others, I didn’t feel any abnormality because my whole body acted as a mana reservoir.

And now there were more important things than that.

-It hurts……

Unlike the strange sound I could hear in my ears, something else was ringing in my head.

Tring!

[Spirit communication is active.]

Achievement reward obtained after exiting Siwang Hell.

Spiritual creature communication from random characteristics was being used automatically.

“senior? Is your senior okay?”

When I didn’t respond, Lucia tilted her head.

“I… I think I’m fine. But don’t tell anyone else.”

“yes.”

I quietly whispered only to Lucia and focused on communication with spirit objects again.

-It hurts so much…….

The sound of whining that it hurts.

Unlike a human voice, it was a hard-to-hear sound like a high or low frequency, but the meaning was conveyed.

‘Is that a snake sound?’

Is there any way I can convey my opinion?

I approached a snake that looked like a huge wall with no end in sight.

“senior?”

Everyone was having a heated discussion with each other, so no one noticed what I was doing. Maybe it’s because I can’t use mana, or because I’m like a normal person.

Ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss.s

Of sensible movements. It looks like a wall because it is so huge, but if you look closely, the movement of the muscles is clear.

“Hey Adrias! What are you doing!”

Bahat, who noticed me belatedly, shouted.

At the same time, everyone’s eyes were on me, but I ignored it and put my hand on the snake.

wiggle!

The movement of the dynamic muscles was felt, and soon the will of the snake was delivered more clearly than before.

-it hurts.

“it hurts?”

-……who is this.

It seems you can hear me.

I continued talking to the snake.

“I am Adrias Cromwell. Who are you?”

-I…

At that time, someone roughly grabbed my shoulder and dragged me.

“Adrias Cromwell! What are you doing?”

I thought it was a bahat, but it was a bison.

He was glaring at me with glowing eyes and seemed to be straining his hands, but it didn’t matter at all.

“You guys were suspicious from the start. You teamed up with Maxwell to do this, right?”

“Let go of your hand.”

I met the bison’s eyes with calm eyes.

“I won’t say it twice.”

“her! Do you want to take a hit?”

“yes.”

Fuck!

I just hit the bison’s jaw.

I’m still confused, but where are you going?

“Turn it off.”

I didn’t load mana, but my body wasn’t that of an ordinary person. The body of a knight capable of killing people with ordinary fists.

The sudden commotion stopped the people who had been flocking to me. Only Bahat approached me and clicked his tongue.

“Tsk. So what were you doing?”

“I recently acquired an unusual ability. I didn’t expect to use it in a place like this…”

I touched the snake again.

Then the silent snake began to speak again.

– Fight?

“no. If you don’t mind, let’s continue the story.”

“Is it a conversation!”

Bahat exclaimed in a surprised voice.

In fact, it was an ability that was used as a characteristic, so it became vague to explain later, so I didn’t want to reveal it, but now wasn’t the time to argue about that.

-I am Ouroboros.

“Ouroboros?”

Ouroboros…….

It was a name I had heard of somewhere.

A name I had heard in real life, not in the game.

‘There was definitely a special unit named Ouroboros.’

When I thought about it, it came to mind.

Thanks to the special forces, it also reminded us that Ouroboros is a giant serpent that means infinite circulation.

“Your name is Ouroboros?”

At that time, a warlock who was listening to the story stepped forward with an interesting expression.

It was Carol, a summoner and wizard.

“If it’s true, then Bahat was right! It’s an ancient transcendence species! Oh my God, I never thought I would witness an ancient transcendental species with my own two eyes in my lifetime……”

Is now the time to be moved?

In any case, since there is no superhuman and normal person, this situation did not seem to be taken too seriously.

-It’s dangerous here.

“Excuse me?”

-Are you human?

“That’s right.”

– Humans can’t survive here. Even if you’re not human, it’s hard to survive if you’re a living being.

Ouroboros grumbled and continued.

– You will all die.

Chills ran down my spine at the words like a grim reaper who sentenced my fate. However, I, who started talking to Ouroboros to survive in the first place, did not give up.

“What should I do to avoid dying?”

Was it a question that seemed too straightforward?

Ouroboros was speechless.

“Hey Adrias. What are you talking about just swinging?”

Rather, it was the people behind me who made a fuss.

It seemed that my question finally realized that something was wrong.

– It’s impossible.

“Impossible? It sounds like there is a way.”

-There is a way. There are as many as two.

I could feel Ouroboros laughing happily like a child.

-You just have to destroy the magic circle that is the nucleus of the first barrier.

“Isn’t this the barrier?”

-okay.

I looked around again.

However, let alone a magic circle, it was a pure white space, and I did not feel any energy of mana.

“How do I find that magic circle?”

-This barrier was created by the wizard who imprisoned me here. The guy should know.

“The wizard who imprisoned you?”

Who the hell has imprisoned a snake with a gigantic size that knows no bounds?

Maybe Maxwell?

– I don’t know the name. I’m caught in a trap. In return, I’m dying here for an eternity of time.

Ouroboros spoke of his death calmly.

There was no fear or sadness in it, just the facts.

– The second way is to kill me.

“you?”

-If the core of the barrier exists, then I am the barrier itself. I am the one holding this space now.

Ouroboros’ body shook a little louder.

“Whoa!”

“What is it? Have you offended the snake by any chance?”

Warlocks, now unable to use magic and degraded to ordinary people, made a fuss.

– My heart hurts a little while ago. It probably has something to do with you entering this space.

“Is it because of us?”

-no. It’s not because of you. If it was because of you, I would have just killed them all.

I could feel Ouroboros laughing as he casually spat out the bloody words.

-It feels good to meet an intelligent body with whom I can communicate after a long time. My heart hurts, but compared to this joy, it’s bearable.

“I will continue to be your companion. By the way, have you not guessed anything about the core of the magic circle?”

-The magic circle that becomes the nucleus was owned by that magician. It’s outside the barrier.

“Is the nucleus outside?”

It seems that now I know why Ouroboros said it was impossible. It was literally impossible.

‘To bring the magic circle that maintains the barrier outside…’

It was hard to believe that it was true.

If it were real, it could be considered the second coming of Nivas.

– The only possibility is to kill me. In the first place, this space itself was created because of me.

“Are you saying I can kill you?”

Before I knew it, people were listening to me with bated breath. Even if he couldn’t hear Ouroboros’ words, he could infer them from what I was saying, so he seemed to be trying to listen as closely as possible.

– I’d rather kill him. it’s so hard now But it would be impossible with you.

Ouroboros sent his will as if sighing.

Then he suddenly said something strange.

-If you want to live right now, tell the guys behind you to keep talking.

“yes?”

-If you become quiet, you will die. This space is such a space.

What kind of weird space is this?

It was like a mana anomaly, but when I thought about it, there was no significant difference.

“Everyone, they say if you don’t talk, you’ll die.”

“what? What are you talking about all of a sudden?”

“You can think of it as a mana anomaly. When it’s quiet, everyone dies.”

When it was said that it was a mana anomaly, the people who were convinced at once started talking hard.

“You bastard Maxwell. As soon as I get out, I’ll punch a hole in your head.”

“Is magic really useless? Anyone available?”

“To be able to converse with an ancient transcendent species! It’s like a dream!”

Everyone said what they wanted to say to each other, and a noisy atmosphere was formed again.

– and another one. can’t sleep

“Will you die if you sleep?”

Pop!

As my words rang out, I was instantly enveloped in silence.

As much as that, this condition had a harsh feeling.

– I won’t die, but I will die. It’s not just me here.

“Does that mean that if someone falls asleep, that other being will come out and kill us?”

– Exactly. You’re smart.

A being that appears and kills you when you sleep.

It was something I had read about in the game.

“Dream Eater?”

– I don’t know the name. It’s not as strong as me though, but it seems to have strong power.

Dream Eater seemed right.

A dream-eating ghost, but an unknown existence impervious to physical attacks.

‘How much sleep can I endure?’

It was a monster that I had never actually met in the game and only confirmed through ancient documents. It is said to be a rare monster that was often seen in ancient times, but its strength is unknown.

I was confident enough to sleep, but the problem was other people. It was clear that if even one person fell asleep, the Dream Eater would definitely appear.

-You have to keep talking. you have to stay awake How long can you guys last? I hope it lasts long. I’ve been bored alone with a monster I can’t communicate with for a long time.

Ouroboros’ laughter continued vaguely.

You have entered a very magical space.
