Necromancer’s Evolutionary Traits

Episode 139. A precursor

‘I can definitely feel it.’

Something I hadn’t felt before was clear enough to hold in my hand.

Let’s continue to be conscious of the energy that feels like a new sense has opened… … .

[The protection ‘Seed of God’s death’ discovers the energy of God.]

[The energy of ‘the one who fell from the dead’ was found.]

[It can be suppressed.]

Two fists were clenched in the message window that popped up clearly.

‘done!’

It was futile to think about whether I could really do it.

I didn’t even look back and immediately activated my protection.

[Prophecy ‘Seed of God’s Death’ activates.]

[Suppresses the energy of God temporarily.]

[Temporarily lowers the effect of ‘those who fall from death’]

[Temporarily increases resistance from ‘those who fall from death’ ]

[The blessing ‘Seed of God’s Death’ has collected one trace.]

[Collecting 4 more traces will cause a change.]

‘Collect the traces?’

what else is this

It seems that there is another function hidden that I don’t know about.

For now, we should cheer for being able to wake up Isabelle.

It was a much simpler process than I thought, and I was rather dumbfounded.

How disappointed would Maximin be if he found out about this?

‘I must have gone through high school for 40 years… … .’

Maximin, as if he hadn’t noticed it yet, was just watching from the side.

“Maximin.”

“As expected, there is no way for you either.”

It must have been a mistake when I opened the lid and immediately spoke to it.

Since the divine protection has already been activated, it is only a matter of time before he wakes up.

We need to rip out everything we can before she wakes up.

“That’s not it. If he wakes up, what can you do for me?”

Perhaps my question sounded a bit rude. Maximin, whose expression usually did not change, frowned.

“Can you wake up? If only I could wake up… … .”

After talking about it, he seemed to be contemplating whether there was anything he could do.

It must be a worry for him, who has nothing else besides being strong.

“I will give you one unconditional helping if it has nothing to do with Isabelle’s safety.”

“Your name is Isabelle.”

I deliberately pretended not to know his name.

More helpful than that… … .

I don’t like that it’s a one-time thing.

If so, you’ll have to negotiate more.

“Is it only once?”

“Adrias, my patience is running out right now.”

“I don’t care what you feel. Then let’s do this. Please give me three assists.”

“third time? okay. I’ll give you any help. But if Isabelle doesn’t wake up… … .”

“You will wake up. I have already used my powers.”

“… … what?”

He asked back as if he didn’t understand my meaning for a moment.

Then it creaked like a broken doll and looked at Isabelle.

By the way, I’m sure I used divine protection, but why is it still not happening?

“Isabelle?”

However, Maximin cautiously called her name as if he felt something different from me.

Then I saw Isabel’s eyes tremble.

“really… … You wake up.”

Even after I did it, I muttered in surprise.

I had never woken up Isabelle even with a lot of gameplay.

‘If you look at it from the beginning… … Is it because of original sin? I’ve never gotten one in the game.’

I was entangled like fate.

The first visit to the hidden dungeon and, of course, the fact that the original sin was with me.

If there was no original sin, would Lethe have bestowed blessings on me?

‘The fact that I’m involved with Maximin and Isabelle… … .’

Maybe it’s an omen connected to something.

While he was lost in thought for a long time, Maximin knelt down and touched Isabel’s cheek, as if he had forgotten that I was by his side.

“Isabelle, can you hear me?”

And I could see

Eyes shining like deep rubies.

A contradictory atmosphere of innocence and coquetry emanated from a woman.

“Just a citizen?”

Maybe it’s because I’ve been sleeping for a long time?

The voice was cracked.

I couldn’t help but be surprised when I looked back at Maximin, wondering if I should give him water.

“Isabelle… … .”

Maximin was shedding tears.

Confused, I averted my gaze without realizing it.

‘Is this the Maxim I know?’

The person with dry emotions like the desert was the Maximin I knew.

To think that such a Maximin could shed tears… … .

“Looks like I fell asleep again.”

“okay.”

“Did you sleep long?”

At Isabelle’s question, Maximin shook his head with an emotional face.

“no. It didn’t take long.”

“Can I touch Maximin’s face?”

As Isabelle reached out her hand, Maximin bowed his head.

I was embarrassed by the atmosphere of the two and stepped back a little.

I did it for my own benefit, but seeing Maximin react like that, I’m still proud of something.

While they were talking, I went to check on Surahhan.

‘This is a bit harsh.’

In a more serious condition than I expected, I took out the potion that I always carry in my arms and forcibly fed it.

I wondered if it was just the loud sound because it didn’t fly away unlike the loud sound when Maximin kicked it earlier… … .

‘My stomach is messed up. I really tried to kill him.’

Anyway, I haven’t seen a normal personality compared to an Auror Master or a Warlock.

At least, the one who belongs to the top is Surahhan, but I almost died.

“Did you wake me up?”

A voice came from far away.

I turned my head at the voice calling me.

There, Isabelle, who was supported by Maximin and raised her waist, was looking at me with red eyes.

“wait a minute.”

I finished Surahan’s first aid treatment and walked towards it.

Isabelle looked in such good shape that it was hard to believe that she had been asleep for forty years.

Looking at it now, it seemed that he had sucked Maximin’s blood.

“Thank you for waking me up.”

“You don’t have to thank me. It is the result of Maximin’s efforts.”

He said that he would pay off his debt with a single word.

In this case, you should score points.

“You are humble.”

Just then, Maximin stood up and bowed to me.

“thanks.”

“You don’t have to do that. I just helped because I wanted something.”

“Forty years.”

Maximin straightened his back again and looked at me with burning eyes.

“I have been looking for a way for 40 years. So, in fact, I thought it would be the same this time.”

40 years is a really long time.

How will the world change 40 years from now?

“It may seem like I am making a fuss, but this joy… … It cannot be expressed in words.”

“I’m sorry, but I have something to say.”

“What is it?”

“The ability that awakened Isabelle is not a permanent ability.”

I’m sorry, but I have to tell you the truth.

Apparently, the message said it was temporary.

Of course, I don’t know how much that temporary is.

It could be an hour, a day, or a year.

“Right.”

Surprisingly, Maximin was calm.

Judging from Isabelle not reacting too much to my words, it seems that both of them have strong mentality.

“I don’t know how long my powers will last. But it could be used again.”

Gaho seemed to have no conditions or cooldown.

If Isabelle fell asleep again, she would have to wake her up again.

‘They said it would change if I collected four more traces of God.’

As we can guess, since it is the seed of Shinsal, wouldn’t it sprout when the traces gather?

That would most likely get rid of Isabelle’s sleep permanently.

“Then I’m glad. When Isabelle falls asleep, she will come back to you.”

“Can I use one help, Maximian?”

“Is that what you promised? tell me.”

“My ability is the ability to suppress the energy of a god. It is the God-given ability I mentioned earlier.”

“ha… … . It’s a pity that I should have acquired that ability.”

If there was no original sin in the first place, I would not have been able to obtain it.

I hope you don’t regret it too much.

“So what is your request?”

“As I just found out, my abilities seem to grow every time I experience a divine aura. Can you find the energy of other gods?”

Maximin’s eyes widened.

Then he nodded and said.

“That is not part of the request. what i should do If your ability grows, you will be able to permanently cure Isabelle’s sleep, right?”

“I can’t say for sure, but maybe?”

“That’s enough. Pretend there was no request. Ask me another favor.”

I have one request, please.

Maximin is the strongest swordsman no matter what anyone says.

What to ask of such a person… … .

“I don’t know how long the ability lasts, but whenever you come to use my ability, I want you to teach me the sword.”

“A sword?”

He looked at the sword at my waist, pondered for a moment, then nodded.

“i get it. I will listen Are you going to do the rest of the favor now?”

For the rest of the request, I actually wanted to ask Isabelle.

she’s a vampire Among them, vampires belong to the direct line.

I don’t know why I was cursed by God, but it was a fact that I found out from the game that I was a direct descendant.

‘Lust, one of the sins, belongs to the vampire queen.’

Getting this is my goal.

In fact, it was too dangerous, so unlike games, it was something I gave up now that I only have one life, but when I got involved with Isabelle like this, the words were different.

As one of the side episodes, the battle for the throne to decide the head of the Lucifer family, the only family of vampires, takes place later.

The game has a save load, so I intervened every time and picked up and ate beans.

This episode was not simply an episode between vampires, so the black magic coven and various organizations were involved.

‘I know that Isabelle is a very high-ranking person in the immediate family, so wouldn’t it be possible to use this help as an opportunity to do something?’

I didn’t have any concrete plans yet, but it seemed like something was going to be outlined.

“Can I postpone the request for a while?”

“do whatever you want. You have to keep watching anyway.”

I’ll have to ask her when I have a plan in place and I know a little more about Isabelle.

As I was fantasizing about it, Isabelle suddenly started sniffing.

“This smell… … .”

She looked at me and gestured.

“Would you like to come a little closer?”

Why are you doing that all of a sudden?

Still, I thought she wouldn’t do anything bad to me, so I approached meekly.

“ah!”

As I got closer, she marveled.

“Why is that?”

“Angela. It smells like Angela.”

Angela? Angela!

I was also surprised by the existence of a vampire that I had long forgotten about.

My first evolution target and the existence that sucked my blood.

Anyway, how does Isabelle know Angela?

‘Is it rather strange that I don’t know.’

Maximin sent an interesting look.

“Have you met Angela? It’s not just the smell… … .”

What are you talking about like that?

“That kid likes you.”

“Steamed?”

what is this again?

* * *

In the snowy mountains covered with white snow, people in white fur were running around.

The white wild boar the size of a house that they seem to be chasing is already bleeding with arrows stuck all over its body.

“Jedaka!”

As soon as someone shouted, an ice spear flew from somewhere.

Fu-wook!

What a profit!

The wild boar, which had been hit in the vital part, died screaming in agony.

“I’m going to eat today!”

Everyone nodded when someone shouted happily.

Soon, they temporarily slaughtered a huge wild boar and returned to the village and began distributing today’s game.

The large size of the village proved that man could adapt to this harsh environment.

The muscular chief who chased the wild boar in front first handed over the most precious part to Jedaka, the village’s only wizard.

No matter how physically he surpassed continental people, life without a wizard was half impossible, so it was natural to give him preferential treatment.

“father!”

The chief’s son ran out and greeted his father.

The child, who seemed to be five years old now, was strong, as if to prove that he had grown up in a harsh environment.

One peculiar thing is that unlike other people, he has a geometric tattoo on his face.

“I caught Mishaf today! Can you see it!”

“I want to go hunting with you next year too!”

“ha ha ha! Next year is impossible! You still have to grow up!”

Even in an environment that seems uninhabitable, those who live firmly by caring for each other.

They were the northern peoples whom the Continents called barbarians.

When food was scarce, the continental people tended to ignore them as they were a nuisance to the Empire, who messed up the northern borders of the Empire.

However, this is actually an underestimation.

“Is that the warchief? It’s an unexpected monster.”

Someone was observing them from afar.

Feeling a strange heartbeat, he finally found what he was looking for.

“I found anger.”

Hagel smiled quietly as he looked at the chief’s child.
