Necromancer’s Evolutionary Traits Chapter 97

Episode 97. As the breakthrough

day dawned, the front of the Tower of Modras began to be crowded with people who had no lectures as usual.

“Hey, can you give me the front seat? Since Caroline is teaching in the morning, I decided to film her.”

“I decided to take a picture too. I’ll take a picture and send it to you too.”

“Then good.”

It is not an exaggeration to say that most of the students who did not have morning lectures were such a huge crowd. In the case of Diene, there was a prevailing atmosphere among students that it was natural to climb higher floors, so there were no crowds like this, but when there were consecutive challengers from the same grade, it became an issue.

“Did you cough, Your Highness?”

“Oh yes. good morning.”

Minus Morhaime, with a slightly languid atmosphere, appeared in a light outfit.

Two days before Adrias broke the 10th floor, he had been staying at the academy without leaving.

Daenerd came over to Minus, who kept tossing his hair as if his messy hair was bothering him.

“Your Highness, the Marquis Yunor is said to be arriving today.”

“Marquis Yunor? What is this nobleman crazy about training?”

He said so, but the corners of Minus’s mouth were smiling.

Danard scratched his temple at the sight of him looking like a mischievous man about to do something interesting.

“It’s not just Marquis Yunor. The 3rd Princess Michaela, the 4th Prince Odell, and the Agnes Magic Tower are also coming.”

“Hey, they said they wanted some kind of rice cake, so they came in such a hurry.”

It was different from Diene, who belonged to the duchy.

Currently, Adrias Cromwell holds the title of Count, but his status is at a vague level.

That’s why it was a talent that was not burdensome enough to swallow anyone.

In terms of talent recruitment, there was no one with a better situation and conditions than him.

“Marquis Yunor seems to be visiting just for fun.”

“I guess so. It’s because he’s a nobleman who doesn’t care about worldly affairs.”

The problem is with the rest of the characters.

Besides, I couldn’t guarantee that this wasn’t the end.

If he conquered the 20th floor here, it was clear that a different wave from Diene’s would rage within the empire.

‘Should I make a quick decision too?’

Minus rested his chin on it and looked at the screen.

On the screen, Adrias was preparing to go up to the 20th floor, tidying up the place where he stayed.

Adrias’ power of action and movement were reckless enough to make even Minus, who had only been there for a short time, stay at the academy. His unstoppable behavior of climbing the tower without rest was enough to shake the heart of Minus, who came to watch it.

‘I think I’ll hate the emperor, but I didn’t care about that from the beginning. Shall I try to seduce you?’

Coincidentally, he had a younger sister.

He was a little, no, very active, but the age difference between him and Adrias was almost nonexistent.

Even if a princess or a prince were aiming for him, there would be nothing stronger than blood ties.

“Danard.”

“Did you call?”

“Call me Greta.”

Minus’ words paused Daenerd.

Daenerd, guessing what Minus was thinking by calling her, lowered his head.

“I will bring you right away.”

“uh. I want you to come as soon as possible. Let’s see good things together. It’s a waste to see that alone.”

Seeing his master talking back and forth like a squirrel, Dannard immediately left.

After a while, Danard returned and stood with his hands behind his back next to Minus.

“He said he would come right away.”

“You worked hard, Danard. I don’t think he said he would come all at once.”

“no.”

Her younger sister, who had a similar personality to her, was a tomboy.

He often caused accidents within the territory, but he was so strong that even Minus was difficult to properly manage.

“It’s okay, but I was wondering what to do. what do you think?”

“If I dare to say something, I personally think that Adrias Cromwell is fine.”

“Yes, looking forward to it. Adrias will be eliminated soon, so let’s wait patiently. By the way, Dannard, did you do that too? I heard you went all the way to the 20th floor?”

“Because of my lack of skills, the 20th floor was my limit.”

As I was having a casual chat with Danard, outsiders arrived just in time.

Their faces were so splendid that the students who were watching started whispering.

“Your Excellency, Marquis Yunor!”

“Princess Michaela and Prince Odell are also here.”

“Agnis Magic Tower Lord! Scorched Flame Lexi Maholmes!”

If Rodlen’s Magic Tower was the most influential magic tower in the empire, Agnis’ Magic Tower was like a corporation that had an influence all over the continent. They built the Agnis School’s Mage Tower in the form of branch offices in various places, and competed only with their skills, and the position of the total Mage Tower leader also gave priority to skill.

Lexi Maholmes was a great wizard who had a reputation even before becoming the owner of the Agnis Magic Tower, along with the nickname of the scorched flame.

The four of them naturally approached as if they had already exchanged greetings before coming here.

Minus stood up and greeted lightly.

“It’s been a while, Marquis Yunor.”

Seeing them openly taking care of the marquis first, the complexion of the princess and the prince was not good.

However, it was an understandable action, so I couldn’t express it.

Jaden Yunor was a superhuman who deserved such treatment.

“Shouldn’t you greet the prince and the princess first rather than me?”

Fortunately, Marquis Yunor took care of the emperor’s children.

They, who are still only the age of the contract, sent their thanks with their eyes and raised their heads proudly.

“I made a mistake. When I was young, I took it somewhere and sold it, so I often make mistakes. long time no see. Princess Michaela and Prince Odell.”

“no. You can. Nice to meet you, Duke Morhaime.”

While we were greeting each other, we heard the voices of the students.

“It went up!”

“The 20th floor! indeed?”

“There’s no way you can break it.”

Hearing that Adrias Cromwell had gone up to the 20th floor, we decided to put off our greetings for a while and everyone sat down. Principal Deos, who arrived late, and the two department heads exchanged greetings and watched Adrias’ performance.

“What are you trying to do?”

“I know. Are you going to cheat like you did when you broke the 10th floor?”

The boss on the 20th floor was a horse with 8 legs, and the size was huge as if giants rode on it. Adrias went around the temple-like pillared rooms without being noticed by the boss on the 20th floor, preparing something.

And after about 10 minutes, the people who were looking at the screen all expressed surprise.

“Does that make sense?”

“What the hell have you been doing?”

Adrias tied the boss’s feet and unilaterally beat him.

It was a boss with the most powerful weapon, so that alone was a huge advantage, but even so, the boss’s attack was very threatening.

However, Adrias predicted the skills of the boss as if he had the ability to foresee and blocked them after preparing in advance.

It looked like he was memorizing all the patterns and acting, but it was an appropriate response that made Adrias wonder if he could see the future for those watching from the outside.

Using the traps in the room, the boss’s characteristics, and the gimmick to beat the boss, Pan Adrias cleared the 20th floor without incident.

The people who were watching how lightly cleared it were in a situation where they missed the timing to cheer because they couldn’t even figure out if it was cleared.

“Are you awake?”

“what?”

While people were panicking, Adrias climbed the floors without hesitation.

There was not even a moment’s rest.

21st floor.

It was only after seeing the number that people were slowly stained with astonishment.

“So now that… … .”

“I broke the 20th floor… … ?”

Adrias Cromwell did not stop.

* * *

“Wow.”

thud!

I defeated the last remaining Minotaur and put my sword in it.

Thinking that I should take a break at this point today, I headed back down the maze-like path.

‘I was a little overworked.’

No matter how much potion feet you have, the level of difficulty has increased to the point that if you sprain every moment, you will be kicked out.

The accumulated fatigue is palpable.

Still, I climbed from the 20th to the 25th floor in one day.

Let’s finish here for today, and now tomorrow is the 26th floor.

It will break an academy record.

I returned to the hidden device I had discovered on the way.

The place where the device was located was in the blind spot of screen sharing, so it was not visible to people outside.

“Perhaps Maximus did not discover this device. Even if I found it, I wouldn’t have been able to climb it anyway.”

When you touch the device hidden in the maze, the maze starts moving.

Without changing the labyrinth with this device, I couldn’t find the stairs leading to the next floor.

‘Left 3 times, right 2 times, left again 3 times, up 1 time.’

The device moved as if entering a command.

The labyrinth was transformed as much as the device was moved, and although it is not visible from here, there must have been a path leading to the stairs going up.

“I worked hard to figure this out, but I never thought I would use it like this.”

Don’t be new to life history.

At that time, what I did just to enjoy the game helped me like this again.

I didn’t really enjoy it either. It was truly extreme labor.

How long did it take to figure out that command after touching the device once, checking that it was connected to the stairs, and then coming back and touching the device over and over again?

‘Anyway, there must be a commotion outside by now.’

Perhaps there were more people than in Diene’s case.

It’s like I broke the record that no one expected.

It’s not a light record either, it’s the first top title since the academy was founded.

‘I should have thought about it beforehand.’

Even in the game, after conquering the Tower of Modras, I was always tired around me.

Characters with prominent families tended to be less like that, but when I played as Lucia or Louis, I tried to avoid myself as much as possible.

But I was a Count.

As a nobleman, it was obvious that people around him would bite if he did not belong to a faction.

‘The emperor is an enemy, so if possible I should use one of the dukes.’

My title now meant nothing.

What kind of count is a count without a fief? He is a nominal count.

However, there must be forces who see this ability and try to approach me.

‘Is it fortunate that I’m not a Marquess?’

If the Cromwells were margraves, I would shake my head just thinking about it.

The duty and responsibility are great, but the return is only an honorary position.

Of course, honor is a very powerful force in this era, but personally, it was just annoying for me, who pursues practical things.

Among the Marquess, Count Patrick Bagras, the Marquess of the North, was a born soldier, so he was probably satisfied with his position.

“Shall we make a seat soon?”

I made my bed.

I was anxious because I was sleeping alone, but I was able to reduce my worries a little by installing an alarm magic circle around me.

‘I won the bet I had with Diane, so I’ll have to think about what to ask for.’

What is Diane thinking right now?

It was a pity that I couldn’t see his expression.

At this speed, tomorrow I should be able to break through to the 30th floor and go up to the 31st floor.

The 30th floor must be broken, there are no exceptions, the key is the 31st floor.

‘I can’t figure it out, but… … .’

Even if he broke it, it was questionable whether compensation would be given.

Still, I wondered if there was something, but it was a question that could be solved tomorrow.

‘But doesn’t the 31st floor appear on the screen?’

In the meantime, I thought it would be seen in the middle of the day, so I’ve been careful.

However, when I thought about it, the 31st floor was not shared through the screen.

I hadn’t even thought about it, but if that’s the case,

can I use black magic?
