Necromancer’s Evolutionary Traits Chapter 43

Episode 43. Is there a true

named item?

Seeing my mana fluctuate, it was clear that it was an item related to black magic.

Did your father leave you behind?

As I went down, guessing alone, things like dust flying in the air were shining in all directions.

‘Luminous powder that comes from a fairy flower. Did fairy flowers bloom around here?’

It was one of the most precious alchemy materials.

But right now I had to go down and check it first, so I didn’t have time to collect the powder.

Going down the stairs, I doubted my eyes at the floor that I finally began to see.

Soon after, I hurried down and found fairy flowers blooming everywhere.

“Nonsense.”

how the hell

The fairy flower was not a common plant.

It was a fairy flower that would never grow unless there was an abundance of mana in the air.

In addition to this, various conditions were required, but the most important factor was mana.

‘Mana-rich places can be counted on one hand.’

Most of those places were only remote areas such as the Devil’s Land.

And there were not only fairy flowers here.

Something was standing in the middle of the vast field of flowers.

‘tree?’

From a distance, it looked just like a tree, but as I got closer, I noticed something different.

And as soon as I got close enough to fill my field of vision, a system window popped up.

[Codex Apocalypse: Chapter 0 Pure Original Sin]

[Waiting for the fruit to bear.]

Seeing the Hangeul that covered my vision, I took a step back without realizing it.

“What kind of dog… … .”

I couldn’t hide my embarrassment as the training to control my emotions was colorless.

Even though I thought it was nonsense, the reality that was revealed in front of my eyes did not disappear.

I hope this tree… … .

“The codex body?”

Although it is a game with a high degree of freedom, it is relatively high compared to other games, and in the end, it had to be played within the framework of the game.

If you play a character who is an academy student, life in the academy is the main focus, and if you play a character who is a mercenary, solving mercenary requests is the main focus, so there were more restrictions than expected.

12 clears.

However, due to the limited range of action, the codex I’ve seen so far was at most anger, lust, gluttony, and sloth that I had in my hand until recently.

It meant that all the codexes were gathered and I had seen the final boss, but never checked individually.

So I didn’t know what the body looked like, and I couldn’t imagine what it would look like.

The tree was small.

At most, the young-looking tree, a little taller than me, didn’t have a particularly unusual appearance.

However, unlike his appearance, he felt a huge amount of sticky and dull mana.

It seemed like the scent of mana was coming out even though it couldn’t be because of how thick it was.

‘How should I do this.’

After a while, I was able to calm down again.

Aside from why this is here, what should I do to deal with it?

I thought it could be simply removed, but it couldn’t be that simple.

As I was thinking about it, I noticed something on the branch.

‘Note?’

It was a note that looked like someone had hung it.

I immediately opened the note.

Then, the magic built into the note was activated, and the vision was colored white.

* * *

One day, he went to the imperial palace at a sudden call.

The one who called me was none other than His Majesty the Emperor himself.

“Kain Cromwell.”

“yes. your majesty.”

“You must be my faithful servant.”

“Shin Kane Cromwell. Your Majesty’s faithful servant greets you.”

“I will give you a special order only for you.”

The reason was unknown.

But from that day on, I forgot my duty as a wizard and went under the guidance of Morn Dwalski, a necromancer who is notorious among black magicians, and learned black magic.

Fortunately, the transaction with His Majesty was satisfactory, and he was not lacking in dealing with me.

After listening to His Majesty’s orders and learning black magic for three years, I returned to the Empire.

“I’m not comfortable with putting a heavy burden on you.”

“no. your majesty.”

His Majesty soon handed me a fist-sized seed and ordered me to take care of it.

I didn’t know why, and I didn’t know the identity of this seed.

But I was merely taking care of the seed as his faithful servant.

Seeds are unique.

It showed a sensitive reaction to mana, as if it were not an ordinary plant, and was particularly sensitive to my mana, which had changed due to black magic.

One day, while researching and cultivating seeds day by day, I succeeded in sprouting a seed.

He had personally come to investigate with His Majesty Bahat Alven, the Empire’s foremost magician, to inform His Majesty of this fact.

“I’d like to congratulate you for your hard work, but it’s a pity that I can’t treat you well as this is a secret affair.”

“no. your majesty. It is just an honor.”

That’s how I was able to grow the seeds and turn them into little seedlings.

Could it be because of the thought that he was recognized by His Majesty the Emperor?

I was immersed in research without knowing the situation of Youngji, how my family was doing, or what was going on around me.

Then the situation changed beyond my control.

The family’s family declined and the territory was taken away.

Up until this point, I believed that His Majesty would protect me.

I was an important person carrying out his secret mission.

But it didn’t take long to realize that it was an illusion.

“Catherine… … .”

His wife died suddenly.

It was an unknown death.

And when I guessed and found out that there was something behind this, I realized that there was an unimaginable darkness lurking behind it.

“How could you do this to me… … .”

That darkness was the emperor I thought was light.

The weakening of the family fortune, the confiscation of the territory, and the death of his wife were all in contact with the shadow of the empire.

I couldn’t figure out why.

The only thing I can guess is that I’m taking care of the seedlings.

I was afraid.

I became desperate because I did not know when I would die and thought that I could reach out to my children.

After that, he stopped eating and drinking and studied seedlings.

I think the only way I can live is here.

After searching through all kinds of ancient documents, I was finally able to figure out the identity of the sapling.

“The key that opens the age of the gods.”

One of the keys was the tree called ‘original sin’.

When a total of seven pages of sins and original sin, the main body under my control, are gathered, the world will be opened and a new world will open.

Of course, I couldn’t tell if it was true without seeing it myself.

However, through this, he knew that the emperor was plotting something dangerous.

‘Is that why they’re pressuring me?’

It’s too dangerous, so from the Emperor’s point of view, the fewer people he knows, the better.

Besides, Original Sin, which had already grown into a sapling, only needed the remaining 7 pages to come together, so I didn’t need it anymore.

“It is not your will.”

The best revenge I can for having already lost most of my things except my children.

I moved the location of original sin and created a barrier centered on original sin.

Even if Bahat Alven of the world comes, this will not be broken.

‘A barrier using original sin.’

Only me and the descendants of my blood can enter this place.

While creating a barrier using original sin, I was able to learn about various ways to use original sin and its effectiveness.

Honestly, thanks to this, I was able to move my location and create a barrier.

with that function.

The original sin is that the blood of a black magician can contract a master-servant relationship.

Also, being able to lie dormant in the body of the owner that made the contract.

And various other abilities.

It’s probably a fact that even the imperial bastards don’t know.

Maybe only I who did the research know.

But with so much to figure out, there was no way I could make use of it.

Before I knew it, I was addicted to poison.

“Hehe. It doesn’t work the way you want.”

Even if I die, you guys can’t take away the original sin.

The only regret is my children who will be left behind in the world.

Ironically, he left a note containing this memory, hoping that one of them would find it.

Please pay for my injustice and Cromwell’s revenge… … .

* * *

The sight gradually returned.

Was it my father’s magic that I just saw?

In my head, a way to deal with the original sin naturally came to mind.

‘This is how it turned out.’

The reason why his father was Morn’s disciple.

The reason why the Cromwell family’s family trend declined.

My mother died and my father passed away too.

All empires were involved.

“I thought the empire was also collecting sins.”

Behind the meeting of black magicians, which was thought to be a black curtain, there was a bigger black curtain.

Information that has never been released in the game.

I just watched the note burning in my hand.

I had to organize my thoughts.

“It is certain that the Empire and the Coven are not one team. Rather, they must be more like competitors trying to collect sins.”

On the surface, the empire is hunting warlocks, but it must be a relationship of giving and receiving help when needed.

Just like politics is.

And this also cleared up some of my doubts.

‘As expected, there was a reason why Adrias became playable.’

I was one of the seeds that prevented the end of the world.

That’s why I joined Adrias, who was just an insignificant villain.

I drew my sword and slightly cut my hand.

Blood dripped from it and then dripped down.

“Drink.”

I brought my bloody hand to ‘original sin’.

Then, original sin began to absorb the blood from my grasp.

[‘Codex Apocalypse: Chapter 0 Pure Original Sin’ recognizes the user as the owner.]

[Now, it no longer emits energy.]

This was a relief, whereas other named items had themselves choose their owner.

Soon after becoming the master of original sin, I absorbed the original sin.

[‘Codex Apocalypse: Chapter 0 Pure Original Sin’ lurks inside the user’s body.]

[Mana recovery increased by 144%]

[The quality of mana increases over time.]

[The quality of mana increases over time. It gets dark.]

[When ‘Sin’ gathers, performance improves.]

[When ‘Sin’ gathers, additional performance and functions are unlocked.]

Numerous messages come to mind after a long time.

For some reason, I felt a surge of energy in my body.

‘Is it a good thing?’

It wasn’t something to be happy about at all.

It felt like I had increased my stats in return for holding a time bomb.

In the end, I always had the body of the Codex Apocalypse with me.

“father.”

I looked at the empty land where original sin had disappeared amidst the blossoming flowers.

Even though the family’s family declined and her mother died because of that.

can’t be blamed

Now I will shoulder that burden.

Rest well. father.
