Necromancer’s Evolutionary Traits

Episode 119. After a brief confrontation at Lethe’s Temple,

Evan started approaching again.

Is it because of the vivid memories that make it feel like a while ago?

Without realizing it, I pulled out the sword.

“From Barry Sanders’ reaction, it’s clear that you’ve been revived too.”

Evan approached, still smiling and speaking leisurely.

To be honest, his aura match was so shocking that I wondered if Luna and I could get away from Evan even if we worked together.

‘Can I win?’

Evan, who had come a little closer, waved his hand.

“You don’t have to be so vigilant. I won’t kill you like before unless I know that killing them is meaningless anyway.”

His gaze soon turned to Luna, who was looking at Evan with a cold expression.

“You’ve grown a lot, Luna Pendragon. How many years has it been?”

“Don’t pretend to be friendly.”

“sorry. I am glad to see you ahead.”

He didn’t look nervous at all even in front of me and Luna.

Confidence in his skills was deeply embedded in every action.

“Let me ask you a question first. I don’t think this is an ordinary place, but you two knew where it was and came here, right?”

“I don’t know!”

Before I could answer, Luna shouted first.

“We are here to find treasure! I didn’t know it was in a place like this.”

“treasure? A treasure in such a bizarre town… … . Well, maybe there is. Since everything has a cause, the treasure you have been looking for may be the cause of this phenomenon.”

what we came to find

No, that’s exactly what I was looking for.

‘The corpse of the Fire Dragon, Creevemacher.’

Since this phenomenon would never happen due to a dragon’s corpse, Evan’s guess could be wrong.

‘however… … Where did Kriebmacher die?’

Did you die in this city?

When I entered this dungeon, I heard a message saying that it was the place where Krivmacher died… … .

As of now, I have no idea.

What is certain is that I have a feeling that Kriebmacher might have something to do with this phenomenon.

As I stood there without answering, Evan first spread his hand and said,

“I would like to make a suggestion.”

At his words, Luna showed signs of alertness with her whole body, like a cat raising its fur.

“Looks like you don’t know exactly about this place either. Do you know how to get out?”

“I don’t know.”

“Then why don’t we work together? In this space, there is a force so powerful that it cannot be said that it was created by human power. Wouldn’t it be nice if we could fight among ourselves in a place where it’s hard to get out of?”

This time, I nodded before Luna spoke first.

“All right. Then mutual inviolability?”

“friend!”

Luna glared at me in disbelief, but now was not the time to fathom her feelings.

It was time to judge rationally and coolly.

“I will.”

Evan nodded his head as if the words were well understood.

Then, as if warning Luna, who was still looking at me with an expression of disbelief, she said.

“Luna Pendragon, I know you can descend the spirit of Eve. But as you know, not even Eve can defeat me without preparation. I just experienced that if you die anyway, you will come back to life. Even if you die here, you cannot die. So it might make you feel the pain forever.”

Evan finished by casually saying the eerie words.

“I want you to know that I am doing you a favor.”

After saying that, he turned and disappeared into the alley he had come from.

As he said, in this repeating time, it would be possible to repeat the regression and infinite torture.

‘It’s terrible.’

When Evan disappeared, I relaxed my tense body.

But I guess it was too quick relief.

“friend.”

Luna’s eyes were fierce as she called me with a cold voice.

However, rather than being frightened by the sight, it seemed that his young nephew was in pain, so he was at a loss as to how to react.

“Yes Luna.”

“Why is that! Evan is a bastard! He said his friend was also killed by him!”

I said with a bitter smile.

“Yes, after dying once, I knew Evan’s skills. So I backed off.”

“still! still!”

Luna mumbled a few times, as if she had something she wanted to say, but seemed to be unable to organize it, then quickly turned her head.

“I’m looking after you because you’re my friend!”

Did you finally decide to watch it?

It was funny, but it wasn’t a situation to laugh at, so I quietly nodded my head.

For now, we need to get some information before the sun goes down.

‘Fire Dragon Expedition Kriebmaher.’

First, I had to visit the mercenary guild.

* * *

I left my seat while appeasing Luna and looked for a mercenary guild, but only got unexpected information.

“There is no mercenary guild.”

Although it was an ancient era, the lifestyle was not very different, so it was my mistake to think that a mercenary guild would exist.

Eventually, while wandering around looking for information elsewhere, I came across a shopping street where information could be gathered.

“Wow, what is this animal?”

“My name is Rulf! Yellow-tailed stone monkey!”

The shopping street was full of life.

The children who were playing in the place full of people, regardless of age or gender, approached and took an interest in Luna and the stone monkey.

Luna gave an explanation to the children with a slightly conceited look and raised her nose. It was a little funny, but I just quietly laughed it off.

“sister! Where is your sister from?”

“me? I’m from far away! Do you know Endeavor?”

“Endeaver? I don’t know.”

I guess Endeavor didn’t exist in this era.

The children and Luna, who had been talking together with Rulf, opened their mouths with an unexpected story.

“Can Luna noona not go to the temple?”

“Temple?”

“The priests are all praying in the temple right now! My dad also participated in the Fire Dragon Expedition, and I heard he prays every day! So now only priests can enter the temple… … .”

Temple.

It is a building that does not exist in the era where Luna and I live.

Seongguk is also an unfamiliar place because it was a society of imperial unity, in the end, only in name, but without a separate building called a temple.

‘Come to think of it, the high-ranking priest of the temple has requested this Fire Dragon Expedition.’

Wouldn’t it be possible to find out the secret of this repeating city by going to the temple?

I immediately told Luna.

“Shall we go to the temple?”

“What is a temple?”

“It is probably a place to pray to God. Priests must also gather there. I heard earlier that the high priest of the temple of Lethe, the guardian deity of this city, requested the Fire Dragon Expedition.”

“The Fire Dragon Expedition? That performance earlier?”

Come to think of it, I hadn’t explained it to Luna.

I immediately told him what I was looking for and the information I had just heard from Thompson, the former fruit shop owner.

“Dragon! wow!”

Upon hearing the story, Luna’s eyes sparkled.

Then he asked the children around him.

“Where is the temple?”

“Go all the way over there! But won’t this guy come in? They said only priests could go.”

mister?

no that’s not the point

Not being able to enter the temple was no big deal.

It was obvious that he would forget everything if he returned anyway, so trespassing was not difficult.

‘What I regret is time.’

Before I knew it, the sunset was setting.

I don’t know how far away the temple is, but it seemed difficult to find out that much information if I were to leave and arrive now.

There was no countermeasure against the residents who turned into black smoke at night, and even if they survived the night, there was no knowing what situation would await them the next day.

‘Still, I have to try as far as I can.’

I didn’t have time, so I had to go quickly.

“What’s your name, kid?”

“It’s Henderson.”

“I am Luna! just Luna. See you again!”

I thanked the children and headed to the temple with Luna.

Luna patted Rulf and sang a hum song, but she seemed to be in a good mood because she had a conversation with the children, so she seemed to have forgotten about her meeting with Evan.

“friend.”

Then Luna, who suddenly stopped in place, turned around and looked in the direction where the children were and called me.

“yes.”

“Will those kids turn into black smoke when the sun goes down?”

“… … I guess so.”

Luna’s expression became visibly sullen.

It was a little sad to see her like that, but in the first place, this place was just a dungeon, not real.

It was a remnant of an era that had already perished long ago.

“Is that a temple?”

The temple I finally arrived at while asking for directions was a dingy building, unlike what I had imagined.

“Where are you from?”

The man in the black robe guarding the entrance asked us.

And Luna vomited admiration at his appearance.

“wow.”

He had pale skin, white hair and eyebrows, and bright purple eyes.

Its unusual appearance was dreamy enough to be similar to Luna’s.

“Are you a priest of Nyx?”

When I asked a similar question to Thompson, the fruit shop owner, I nodded first.

“you’re right.”

“you are?”

“It is an escort. After hearing the news of the Fire Dragon Expedition, I was assigned to protect the priest.”

The confidence to spit it out at will came from regression.

If I go back, I’ll forget everything anyway, so it wouldn’t matter if I just shouted.

The guard at the entrance looked at us for a moment and then gestured to Luna.

and he told me

“Right now, we cannot accept outsiders, so only the priest can enter. Excuse me, could you please wait a moment?”

Luna and I exchanged glances for a moment, and soon Luna smiled as if not to worry and headed towards the temple.

‘There’s no need to worry.’

she is stronger than me

In Fort Endeavor, I looked stronger because of the special environment of the battlefield, but in the end, it was difficult for me to be her opponent in a one-on-one fight.

It can be said that the wall of the superman is thick.

“the problem is… … .”

I watched the sky where the sunset gradually faded.

I think it would be difficult to find out any meaningful information within today.

Sureureung.

As soon as I pulled out my sword to prepare, the priest at the entrance of the temple said.

“What are you doing?”

I didn’t feel worth answering.

I just silently drew my sword and waited.

‘Still, it’s fortunate that there aren’t many people around the temple.’

Soon the sun had completely set.

And as expected, the priest guarding the entrance turned into a black figure.

Huung.

I tried blowing a sword wind like last time, but it was meaningless.

It seemed as if the physical force didn’t work, but what was surprising was that the aura didn’t work either.

‘How did you get Evan to back down?’

Anyway, the black smoke darted into the temple before it overtook me.

Quaang!

After breaking down the door, Luna was seen inside surrounded by black smoke.

“Luna!”

did it happen?

The sun could not be seen from inside, so there was a high possibility that it was accidentally hit.

Unless you know how to deal with it in the first place… … .

‘person?’

At first glance, the shape of a person could be seen from inside.

If it’s someone who doesn’t become black smoke, is it Evan?

But wasn’t it the same pure white armor as Evan?

―Go oh oh.

The smoke that enveloped Luna also rushed to me.

Luna closed her eyes as if she had fallen asleep, but for now she tried to step back.

– Goo.

“Were you there too?”

The exit was already blocked.

I don’t know how to do this.

I recklessly swung my sword and threw magic.

But the black smoke just went straight to me without any blows.

“Fuck.”

Black smoke enveloped me like that.
