Necromancer’s Evolutionary Traits Chapter 99

Episode 99. As soon as I went up the stairs

, I saw a room that looked like the top of a clock tower.

The splendidly unfolded magic circles were connected and moved organically, as if a clockwork was entangled with each other, and it was so enormous that it could be called the essence of the magic circle.

It was a detail that I didn’t notice in the game, but it was different now.

I set aside the purpose of climbing for a while and looked over the magic circle.

‘I can’t even copy.’

Aside from drawing, a lot of calculation went into it.

I was fed up with the complexity that made me want to vomit just by imagining it, but when I thought that Modras Alven designed and built it alone, even respect bloomed.

After opening the magic circles like that, I finally saw the reward located in the middle of the room.

It was a structure that stood like a teaching table, a transparent glass display case.

‘The key to the tower.’

I carefully opened the glass case and picked up the key-shaped object.

[Key of Greed]

[The key given to the first conqueror of the 30th floor of the ‘Tower’.]

[Can be used in the ‘Tower’.]

This was the end of the explanation.

But I also knew what this key was for and the rewards it brought.

‘I’ll increase the tower’s reward to two.’

A tower that exists in the Imperial Palace.

As a historical site of the mythical age, only qualified personnel can enter once.

It was the origin of the Tower of Modras and a mysterious place where rewards were given according to the number of floors climbed.

‘Actually, the items used by the gods of the Age of Mythology are also dropped.’

No matter how high the floor, only one item was given per person, but increasing it to two was the effect of this key. It was an item that could be called fraudulent enough with that alone.

It wasn’t long after I picked up the key that the table-like display case sank under the floor. Shortly thereafter, the energy of mana gathered and something whitish began to appear.

“Modras Alven.”

Precisely, that idea.

Modras took on a hazy form and then greeted me.

“Congratulations, students of Rodlen Academy, for reaching this point.”

He wasn’t actually alive anyway, so he just listened without answering.

“You are a quiet young man. Yes, it was fate that I came this far, so let me tell you a little bit about me.”

After that, he spoke words emphasizing the reason for the establishment of the Tower of Modras, which he had already heard about ten times, and the fact that he had handed over the key he had obtained from the Tower of the Imperial Palace to future generations.

Contrary to his achievements, Modras, whose words and actions are lighthearted, spoke for a long time and finally spoke the words he had been waiting for.

“Now, the mana is slowly running out. You will be the first and last person to see me, as I only appear to those who visit for the first time.”

At the same time as he finished speaking, he could see Modras’s thought body increasing his mana.

“But it won’t be fun when it ends like this. I will try you.”

I waited for a long time when I brought up the story.

I immediately drew Galaksur and charged.

“Haha, too impatient for being reticent!”

Talking like you’re alive keeps bothering me.

He swung his sword, but before he knew it, Modras, who had moved through space, gathered mana with his fingertips.

Dozens of mana arrows were fired in an instant.

Kwagwagwagwang-!

I circumnavigated the perimeter of the room to dodge the attacks and I also blew a sword wind.

The sword wind mixed with the wind cutter approached Modras at great speed, but the opponent simply moved my sword wind with one gesture.

‘Overwhelming.’

It’s probably that they don’t show off their skills even now and just look at them.

He was, after all, a warlock-class archmage.

Soon after, as Modras gestured to me to close the distance, my position changed in an instant, and I was gripped by his neck.

“Now what to do… … .”

I’ve been waiting for this time

My shadow, which stretched in an instant, grabbed Modras, and an ominous aura shone behind him.

“Dark magic… … ?”

Fu-wook!

Modras was so shocked that he couldn’t even react properly and was stabbed by Nickel’s sword.

Nickel pierced the opponent’s heart very neatly, but fearing that I would get hurt, I didn’t penetrate it and only pierced the opponent’s heart with precision.

‘It’s not over.’

The opponent is not a living human being, but a mere thought body.

Even if your heart is stabbed, it won’t go away.

Nickel also read my mind and attacked again in an instant, but he had already left the place by moving space.

“ha ha ha! It’s amazing just using magic and a sword at the same time, but black magic! A great talent has appeared!”

It wasn’t clear whether he was being sarcastic or genuinely admiring him, but what was certain was that Nickel’s attack had worked. In fact, the clouded mind of Modras was fainter than before.

‘Maybe I can win for the first time.’

As it was only a thought body, it was bound to be weaker than the actual Modras.

However, it was surprising that he could use that level of space magic with just his thought body.

There was no time to rest.

I ran with Nickel right away.

“Has the world changed since I died? I don’t know how a black magician could be a student at Rodlen Academy.”

While talking, Modras came out leisurely, evaded Nickel’s attack, and counterattacked. It was a simple magic combination, but with a fast casting speed that made you want to be ignorant, it was perfectly coping with air defense.

‘I think I’ll win if I just prolong my time like this.’

In case you don’t know, I’ll definitely win.

A huge sub-space was created next to Modras, who was continuously widening the distance through space movement.

“hmm?”

A huge arm protruding from subspace struck Modras in an instant.

Perong!

It was not possible to summon all the large Ludos, so I took only part of the body out, and it was a better use than I thought.

Nickel rushed in front of Modras, who had been hit by a fist.

Modras hurriedly moved into space, but I, who had already noticed, took a step ahead and summoned Ludo’s arm. This time, Ludo’s arm holding a huge sword took down Modras, who had moved through space.

bang!

Modras hurriedly used magic to block Ludo’s greatsword, but Timur, summoned after him, let out a huge roar and slammed the regime.

Wow!

“Kuhm.”

Suddenly summoned Timur’s blow went in cleanly.

Even if it seems like he just did it roughly, he was an aura master who enjoyed an era in his own way.

A group that others couldn’t see was contained in a fist.

Unlike Nickel’s attack, which was stabbed with a pinpoint, the damage might have been great, but Modras hurriedly moved into space, but the room was already occupied by me and my undead.

‘It’s over.’

When I saw signs of space movement beside me, I swung my sword as it was.

As soon as the black modras that he had wielded before appeared, it neatly cut through the opponent’s throat.

Took.

“haha… … .”

said Modras, who still made a sound even after his throat dropped.

“You were careless. I never thought you would hide your strength against me.”

I also had a lot of emotion.

When I thought that I had captured the thought body of Modras, which I had never won before, I was a little happy that it seemed to prove that I was stronger than Lewis or other characters.

“A reward is given to those who have passed the ordeal. Even if you are a warlock, I don’t need to worry about future generations.”

Modras, who were slowly dispersing, said something meaningful.

Now, does that mean you’re going to reward me separately?

“Please benefit the world.”

It was an odd request for a black magician, but I silently nodded.

And finally, Modras disappeared.

[‘Achievement: Recognized by Modras’ has been achieved.]

“Ah.”

Accomplishment of an achievement that I had forgotten even existed covered my sight. He had never defeated Modras before, so he didn’t know that such an achievement would be hidden. It was an unexpected reward, so the joy was doubled.

And along with the achievement achievement reward, I saw something shiny left in the place where Modras disappeared.

‘This… … ?’

* * *

Huung.

A sword that sprinkled a dazzling light cut through the air.

Then, the bizarre-shaped monster on the other side split in half.

-Kiik!

The emperor, who watched the monster dead without emotion, defeated the attendant who approached him and handed him a towel, and put the sword into the scabbard.

“It’s boring.”

While the attendant, contemplating the emperor’s words, did not know what to do, someone cautiously entered. The knight who entered carefully knelt down on one knee, not paying attention to the strange monster that had been split in half and died.

“What is it?”

“Your Majesty, Duke Hector Kazaf has arrived.”

“Stop by.”

The knight immediately got up and took a step back outside.

Shortly thereafter, the Duke of Kazaf leisurely entered.

“Meet Your Majesty the Emperor.”

“Welcome, Lord Hector.”

The emperor sat down on the chair provided without even turning his head and spoke.

Even though he was an emperor, his attitude towards the prime minister was extremely arrogant.

“I hope you have brought me a story that will interest me.”

“The news that Kane Cromwell’s son, Adrias Cromwell, has conquered the 30th floor of the Modras Tower.”

“I heard that you went and checked it yourself the other day. How was it?

It was a little brazen to say that the emperor himself had put pressure on him to come and go, but Duke Kazaf just lowered his head.

“I apologize for being a little late in gathering information. Considering the information so far, it is believed that the probability that Adrias had original sin is quite high.”

“Only a warlock can deal with original sin. Are you saying Adrias is a warlock?”

“In terms of possibilities, yes. To be honest, Adrias’ explosive growth cannot be explained in terms of Original Sin’s features or performance. In fact, Original Sin is just a piece of equipment that has almost no performance by itself, so it seems separate from Adrias’ growth.”

“Then why do you say there is a high probability that he has an original sin?”

“The period when Adrias Cromwell suddenly used the sword coincides with the period when he bought the mansion. In the case of original sin, we don’t know all of the abilities, so if you say that you can use swords and magic at the same time because of the hidden abilities, that’s an explanation.”

“So, in the end, nothing is certain.”

Despite the emperor’s cold words, Duke Kazaf just stood there expressionless.

The emperor laughed at Duke Kazaf and pointed to the other side of him.

“Why are you standing so uncomfortable? Please have a seat.”

The emperor said to Duke Kazaf, who sat down while spitting out a pretentious thank you.

“Anyway, it’s not bad. If the guy has original sin, there’s no need to look for it. There is no need to think urgently, and I will leave it as if it were cut open when necessary.”

“Your Majesty, to your heart’s content, Adrias has conquered the 30th floor, which even Maximin Cronel couldn’t reach. Just in case, in advance… … .”

“Hector Kazaf.”

With a smile on his face, the emperor quietly called the Duke of Kazaf by name.

The name I just whispered quietly.

However, at that one word, even Kazaf’s poker face collapsed, and cold sweat began to form near his temples.

“Is that guy already screaming about what’s so scary? I didn’t see the ball that way, so I’ll have to reevaluate it.”

“Congratulations, Your Majesty.”

It was the words of an extremely arrogant emperor.

Duke Kazaf was a little worried about the arrogance of the emperor who ascended without knowing how high the sky was, but at first glance, the emperor’s words seemed reasonable, so he tried to rationalize himself.

‘Yeah, there’s no need to worry too much since he’s not a guy who’s going to run away anyway.’

Besides, the hand he had was enough for him to turn Adrias into a warlock.

Even if he did not have original sin, the emperor had nothing to lose.

“Now, the priority is to find other sins first.”

“The intelligence bureau is constantly looking for it, so we should be able to find out the whereabouts soon.”

“It is said that Sir Hegel found the whereabouts in the North, but I’m really looking forward to which one will find it first.”

It was embarrassing to be compared to a warlock, but Duke Kazaf just lowered his head.

“We will definitely find it first.”
