Necromancer’s Evolutionary Traits

[ Episode 218. Their past ]

Even in a state where the war was entrenched, engagements were taking place steadily.

In particular, the Duke of Closche, a family representing the North, was knocking on the enemy’s door every single day.

“Wah ha ha ha! You cowards, I am back!”

Red hair that stretched out in all directions like a lion’s mane blew in the north wind.

Sinclair Cloche appeared alone, clad in leather armor trimmed with brute fur, holding a longsword unsuitable for her size.

“Is it yours again?”

“Isn’t it about time to make a decision soon?”

While most of the main characters of the barbarians were staying in the Valley of Wailing, Watuna, a great warrior called the Great Warrior and Gatekeeper, came out of the camp with his huge belly bobbing.

“I have no intention of defeating you. My job is to protect this place.”

“It’s not that I don’t want to win, it’s that I can’t win. Stop talking and take my sword.”

A red aura rose steadily.

Together with him, a gloomy aura exploded around Sinclair.

“It’s fun!”

Quaang——–!

Sinclair’s attack was easily blocked by Watuna.

Barbarian warrior Watuna.

Although his offensive ability was poor, he was a deformed Aura Master boasting tremendous defensive power.

The only weapons he uses are a shield that looks like a huge iron wall and a short hatchet.

“I’m tired of playing with you.”

“Ha ha ha ha ha!”

Unlike Watuna, Sinclair, who unleashed her power to the fullest, seemed happy.

In fact, the reason he visits this place every day is no different, but to relieve stress.

The thought of breaking through this place had already crossed the water a week ago.

In the first place, it was impossible to penetrate Watuna.

Kwagwagwang———!

Quadd Deuk!

In a situation where they couldn’t win or lose, only explosions rang out.

The soldiers in the camp of the barbarians also began to prepare dinner casually, as if they had become accustomed to the situation that had been repeated for nearly two weeks.

“I feel it every time, but it’s amazing! I thought Masters existed to come to barbarians.”

“You guys are small puppies who will be knocked down by the warchief in one match.”

“Then get out of the way! I want to meet that warchief!”

“If you really want to meet me, go over that mountain. You can go there alone.”

“Hahaha! I really want to go, but since I’m the commander, I have a lot of responsibilities!”

After saying that, Sinclair looked away with the desire to cross the mountain range.

The Gorge of Wailing was impregnable even in the northern snowy region, but on the contrary, it was a difficult terrain to cross even inland.

“huh?”

Then something strange caught Sinclair’s eyes.

It was too far, not sure, but it seemed that someone was crossing the mountain range.

‘It doesn’t look right.’

Besides, I couldn’t feel any presence as if it were an illusion.

It was unusual that there was no basic breathing or pulse.

Like a dead person…….

Kuung!

“Don’t look away.”

Seeing Watuna’s rare counterattack, Sinclair turned her gaze back to the front.

No matter how bad the offensive ability is, the opponent is an Aura Master.

If you are cut by a blade, no matter how strong you are, you will eventually die.

“Yes, yes. I’ll beat you up today and come back.”

It was Sinclair who had no idea what he had just seen, but thought he should dispatch a scouting party to look for traces as soon as he returned.

**

The trip to the north, just the two of us, was monotonous.

The goal was to move as unobtrusively as possible, so there was no room for trouble.

“As expected, walking is slow. I feel the greatness of civilization again.”

“Now we are almost there.”

As Evan said, I had a lot of experience because I had been to most of the places using the Mana Injury Train.

There was originally a train going to the vicinity of the Wailing Gorge, but I knew that it was blown up for a strategic level right after the war broke out.

“But I’ve been wondering, how do you plan to communicate with the barbarians? Of course, if you were a king, you would have come up with a method with great insight, but I am curious about the method.”

“You just give them what they want and let them back off. Nothing special.”

“what they want?”

“yes. The other side is almost there.”

“Are you sure the undead are working together right now?”

“yes.”

Evan is someone who already knows my identity.

Thanks to that, there was no awkward corner when explaining something.

“As far as I know, familiars like the undead can’t keep summoning if they get away from the summoner…”

“Maybe it’s thanks to my ability.”

“Ah, you’re talking about a peculiar constitution.”

Actually, it’s because of original sin, but I don’t think I need to say that.

It wasn’t because of his constitution, but he was just ignorantly quick to recover mana and had enough mana to survive.

“As expected, the king is special.”

“Yes, what…….”

After walking for a long time listening to Evan’s admiration for me, the day got dark.

We had yet to reach Wailing Gorge, so we set up camp in the middle of the mountain.

“I’ve been feeling it for the past few days, but you are really good at it.”

“I am used to being homeless.”

“There aren’t many high-ranking nobles who are familiar with homelessness, but the king is definitely eccentric.”

Soon the preparations for camp were over.

Without hesitation, I summoned a mercenary and received a space expansion backpack.

It was the guy who took over the backpack from Nickel.

“Come to think of it, is the dragon you brought back then doing well?”

“Did you know?”

Evan must have been out of the dungeon at that time…

Ah! It wasn’t completely outside, but it was moved to the top of the wall, so it may have been watching what was happening inside.

I didn’t think about it at all, or I didn’t even want to think about it, but the question about Evan’s attitude came off a little.

“I was there too, so of course I know.”

“Actually, I thought I was alone with Luna at the time. Evan was swept away by the light first, so he didn’t think about it.”

It might be because they saw me saving Luna that they follow me, saying that I am the king and the light.

Come to think of it, I’ll see Luna soon.

“I’ll be seeing Luna soon too.”

“Is that child also in the Empire?”

“yes. You are helping me with my request.”

“Hmm…”

He touched his beard with a concerned look.

It was felt from Hidden Dungeon, but Evan seemed to have a sense of debt to Luna.

“You don’t have to worry too much.”

“worry? Huh. I’m worried…”

He muttered in surprise at my words.

Didn’t he even notice that he was worried?

“okay. I just worried about him.”

“If Evan will excuse me, can I ask for a story related to Luna?”

“Looks like I piqued my curiosity again. It’s what the lord is asking, so there’s nothing I can’t do, but it’s not a very interesting story.”

“You don’t have to do it if you don’t want to. Like you said, it just sparked my curiosity.”

Regardless of whether there were enemies or not, Evan openly lit the bonfire.

From the way he seemed to organize his thoughts, I could guess that he was going to tell me.

“Luna Pendragon. In fact, there is not much of a story about that child. Rather, I had a lot of connections with my mother.”

“Eve Millennium.”

“She was a powerful witch. A witch who, despite being a warlock, uses an unfamiliar form of magic that has never been seen or heard of. Generally speaking, original magic is often only transformed or derived from the original frame, but her magic was literally original magic that only she used.”

That was right.

And it would be difficult for someone else to learn Luna’s magic.

It was a skill that required an innate quality before original magic.

“There was no particular reason for chasing her, it was just the order of Seongguk. I was put in charge of Eve Millennium. I followed her even before I became an Aura Master, so our relationship was quite long.”

“Are you considerate of someone who has already died?”

“no. That’s absolutely not the case. I don’t know what I am now, but until I met my lord, I considered Eve Millennium as something to be executed unconditionally. I would have taken her death for granted.”

“But I know that Evan took care of Luna even when he was trapped in the space where time repeated itself.”

I tried not to show off, but the time I was trapped in the Hidden Dungeon was unexpectedly long.

That time was so long that I couldn’t help but know Evan’s attitude toward Luna.

He obviously treated me casually, but Luna was cautious.

“If I had killed Eve Millennium with my own hands, she would have died too.”

“What do you mean?”

“I have already announced it to the world, but I did not kill Eve Millennium.”

“But most people know Evan killed him. He was humble and tried to turn the ball around.”

“It’s not like that. I’m just telling the truth because I didn’t actually kill him.”

I don’t know too much about Eve Millennium or Luna.

Even so, Eve is already dead at the beginning of the game, and Luna also dies midway through the game scenario.

Besides, since she was a warlock belonging to the coven, from the player’s point of view, it was good if her death was good, but it was not a bad thing, so there was no need to worry about it.

“Then who?”

“It’s a really funny story, but Eve Millennium is my lifesaver.”

“yes?”

“You should know that I have the grandiose title of 10 people on the continent. The anecdote that earned that title is the battle with Maximin Cronel.”

“yes. I know that.”

“It’s all tangled up. It’s not a lie that I fought with Maximin, but I couldn’t even follow his toes. Eve Millennium saved me from that situation. He died for me.”

“……yes?”

“Before she died, there was a request she left. Please don’t hurt her daughter. Of course, as a paladin, it was a request that I could not accept, but the fact that I was saved by the enemy was so shocking that I unconsciously accepted the request.”

“wait a minute. So, are you saying that it was Maximin who killed Eve Millennium?”

“That’s right.”

……Something is wrong.

Now, Luna and Maximin are heading to the Valley of Wailing with Monsieur.

I left Evan alone and hurriedly shared Timur’s gaze.

**

“I can’t believe this prisoner is a dead body.”

“If you touch your heart, your heart won’t beat! Is it a corpse?”

Maximin sat lazily watching the children arguing over Timur on both sides.

As a guest of Adrias, I thought I had to pay for the meal, so I complied the request, but regrets were rolling in.

‘If I knew it would be like this, Isabel would come with me…….’

Suddenly, Luna’s hood came off and her silver hair poured out.

Her hair matched with the moonlight created a dreamy atmosphere.

And Maximin, who remembered something from that appearance, murmured.

“Right. She was the daughter of Eve Millenium.”

forgotten fact.

Luna also turned her head when her mother’s name came out.

“our mom?”

“okay.”

The languid eyes met opal-colored eyes.
