Necromancer’s Evolutionary Traits

Episode 146. Spider webs

Many students poured into Alven Street for the weekend.

Alven Street, which is often used to relieve fatigue and stress accumulated over the years, is a place that Monas Academy students also use, so it was a place where everyone could come across regardless of faculty or academy.

“Looks like it’s been a while.”

Lewis said, looking around.

He didn’t have time to rest properly because he had been running non-stop even on weekends.

“Rest is part of growth. You should get some rest.”

“Serena, are you saying that?”

“why? Can’t I tell you?”

“It was rather you who never took a break after entering school. You asked me to come with you to Alven Street today, and what you said just now seems to have changed a little. What happened recently?”

Serena just shrugged at Lewis’ question.

Then he pointed to a cafe and ran.

“Let’s go over there! I’ve seen it before, but I really wanted to go!”

Lewis smiled bitterly as he saw Serena’s back as she ran ahead.

But deep down, I thought that I was glad that she looked good.

‘I’m sure I didn’t have time until a few days ago… … .’

Louise, who was worried about her, saw this sudden change as good at first.

He had no idea what had happened in those days.

But Louis wasn’t going to ask until she said it first.

“Mm, delicious.”

Serena, who ordered an ice cream dessert, was delighted with a mouthful of dessert.

Watching her like that, Louis ate the piece of cake he ordered along with black tea.

“Are you curious?”

“uh?”

“Weren’t you surprised that he suddenly asked me to go play?”

“surprised. I only practiced on weekends.”

After hearing Louis’ answer, Serena awkwardly stirred the ice cream with a spoon.

Then, slowly, he began to explain what had happened some time ago.

“Vivian senior came to visit.”

“Senior Vivian?”

“uh. You know, the other day when you went in first and I stayed alone to exercise? Not long after you left, senior Vivian came.”

When she said that Vivian had come, Louis’ body tilted.

I wanted to hear a little more detail.

Afterwards, Serena briefly explained what had happened that day.

What Ivy was waiting for when I went to the gymnasium with Vivian.

Vivian and Ivy sparring, saying that they would show themselves a demonstration.

Ivy’s unexpected skill and the two’s high-level sparring.

Even the map sparring that took place afterwards.

After hearing the whole story, Lewis was amazed.

“So you’re saying that all of that was planned by Adrias-senpai?”

“huh. I didn’t expect it.”

It was surprising to me that he was caring about the juniors he got to know through a chance relationship even though he wouldn’t be busy caring about himself.

‘He’s a great person.’

Adrias had to put in twice as much effort as he wielded magic and a sword at the same time.

I couldn’t even imagine how great it was to take care of the people around me in such a situation.

“They say rest is part of training.”

“yes. We already knew that.”

It was a fact I knew.

I just couldn’t rest because I was running as if I was being chased.

If you think about it, there was no reason to run so breathlessly, but from some point on, I was running without a break.

‘It’s been since I entered Rodlen Academy.’

In Monas, there was no stomach.

There was nothing in the way except Lewis, Serena and Chris’s solo.

However, after entering Rodlene, it seemed that he became impatient with the appearance of prominent seniors.

“Teacher Ivy and senior Vivian told me. Take a break at least once a week.”

“okay. Let’s rest next Saturday. If possible, let’s call Chris too.”

“I don’t know if he will listen.”

Serena laughed.

Louis, who felt at ease after a long time feeling relaxed from that appearance, turned his gaze around for a moment and looked around.

I was sitting on the terrace of the cafe, so I could see the people walking down Alven Street.

In the meantime, a boy who stood out was caught in sight.

‘Are you looking at me?’

Who is it? do you know me

Louis took a closer look at the boy.

The same boy I saw somewhere had a long gray cloth wrapped around his back, and he was wearing four swords around his waist.

‘Are you dealing with all of that? He’s an unusual kid.’

The two of them stared at each other for a while, but when the boy opened his mouth first, the atmosphere changed.

“Are you sure it’s Louis Artman?”

Serena turned her head to the boy’s question.

And Lewis affirmed.

“okay. I am Louis Atman.”

“Adrias Cromwell sent me.”

“… … what?”

Louis and Serena stared blankly at the name that came out of the boy’s mouth.

Then the boy spoke again, emphasizing.

“Adrias-nim contacted me in advance the day before. My name is Benjamin Anicius.”

Boy Benjamin looked Luis straight in the eyes.

“I request sparring with Louis Atman.”

I was lying in a daze now.

The place where we are now is the guest room located in the building where the meeting banquet was held.

It’s been a while since I woke up, but I’m slowly reviewing the battle that happened a while ago.

‘I thought I had amnesia for a moment.’

Was it too much excitement?

Right after the battle, it was empty and I couldn’t remember anything.

It seemed to be the influence of the selfless sword, but I didn’t know that the sword method would affect me to this extent.

[The talent ‘Swordsmanship (Skilled)’ has been acquired.]

[Conditions have been met.]

[An object capable of evolution has been explored.]

An unexpected talent has also been obtained.

I think this is because of my enlightenment, which is my characteristic, but what is surprising is that it is possible to evolve right away.

[Adrias Cromwell’s Talent: 100% chance of evolving swordsmanship]

It was already 100% full.

It seemed that it burst out all at once due to the experiences he had been through and the battle with Hegel.

It was definitely an unexpected growth, but the mood was calm.

I had already glimpsed the possibilities that lay beyond, so this level of talent was taken for granted.

‘I touched the wall.’

wall.

It was the realm of superhumans beyond human limits.

And I, who was able to reach the wall for a while, was struggling to chew the cud.

thump.

rattle.

Someone opened the door with a noise that was a bit harsh to call it a knock.

“uh?”

The person who came in made a surprised sound when he saw me awake, and then approached me.

My body stiffened for a while because I met a completely unexpected person.

‘Why is this guy here… … ?’

It wasn’t unusual to be here.

But I didn’t see it at first, so I thought it wouldn’t be there… … .

‘for a moment. How crazy have I been?’

Just a moment ago, I thought I had only been lying down for a few hours.

But with the person who has now appeared, I thought that might not be the case.

“Are you awake? Are you feeling better?”

Asking anxiously, she was dressed as a servant.

Seeing her pretending to be the maid of Lord Borgien, I relaxed my stiff body for a moment and nodded.

“Do you know how many days I have been lying down?”

I don’t know why she pretends to be a maid, but I got along with her.

To be honest, I didn’t even want to pretend to know.

He didn’t want to attract another madman’s attention when he was already getting a lot of attention from Hegel.

“Please speak at ease, sir. The guest slept for three days.”

“crazy.”

I unknowingly talked to myself.

But I couldn’t help but swear.

‘3 days?’

You came here on Wednesday, so it’s Saturday?

Inadvertently truanted from lectures.

Graduation is also given points according to sincerity, so it was a little painful for me to graduate.

“I guess you had something urgent?”

“yes.”

“Oh really. Is it okay if I speak comfortably?”

You are the one who sticks to the concept.

Why are you being so mean while pretending to be a servant?

Anyway, I didn’t want to offend her, so I nodded.

“Are all the banquets held here over?”

“sure.”

This is a big hit too.

In the end, I didn’t hear any information about anger.

Of course, at that timing, Hegel ran amok.

‘There’s nothing going on.’

Of course, since he gained swordsmanship talent and saw clues to the Superman’s Wall, overall it was much more beneficial.

But the fact that I couldn’t get the information I was looking for was stressful for me.

‘I have to go back.’

There were a few unintended things, but I couldn’t help it.

First of all, I had to go back to the academy.

When I got up, the witch, still posing as a maid, tried to support me.

But I struggled to get up on my own.

It was uncomfortable in many ways to come into contact with her.

“Are you feeling well?”

“okay. Thank you for caring.”

First of all, we have to get rid of this witch quickly.

Why are you here in the first place?

If I hadn’t played the game, I wouldn’t have even recognized that she was a witch.

She must have thought she was just a bit of an odd maid.

“Wouldn’t it be better to get some rest? I’ll make it right.”

“no. I have something urgent to do, so I have to go quickly.”

I don’t know what she’s aiming for, but I couldn’t get along with her playing house.

In the first place, she was the representative madwoman character in the game.

Even if I, who still have an irresistible difference in skills, get involved, I won’t see anything good.

“Huh.”

I tried to open the door to leave the room, ignoring her as she began to hum.

However, when I confirmed that there was something strange on the doorknob, I couldn’t bear to touch it.

‘Spider web.’

that crazy guy

As I hesitated in front of the door, a voice came from behind.

“Why are you standing like that? Didn’t you say you were in a hurry?”

At that shameless statement, I sighed and turned around.

“What do you want?”

“What do you want? What are you talking about all of a sudden?”

Even though he said that, seeing him laughing like his mouth was tearing up made me feel sick.

Why am I only interested in these crazy people?

Eventually, I sighed and thought of the undead in the subspace.

Unlike Hegel’s time, there were only her and me here now.

“There must be a reason why you are doing that, Aka Imp.”

Aika Imp.

A warlock who, along with Eve Millennium, has increased her reputation as the most powerful witch.

A user of primitive magic who inherited ancient magic.

And a powerful black magician who has a faction in the assembly.

I don’t know why she is here after the meeting is over.

“Ahaha!”

Is it because I know my identity?

Suddenly, she started laughing and looked at me with a mad expression.

The title of lunatic that had gone to Luna actually seemed more appropriate to this woman.

“I am an Aika Imp? What the hell are you talking about, sir!”

“Have already laughed and don’t pretend. I heard that the meeting is over. Why are you here if you didn’t even attend the meeting in the first place?”

“How amazing. How did you recognize me?”

Aika looked at me with a look that said she had found an interesting toy.

Looking at her appearance, she looks like my age, but she is a monster over 100 years old.

I couldn’t help but get sick of watching how such a monster would play with me.

“If you play that kind of prank on a doorknob, everyone will notice.”

“well? I think I already noticed it as soon as I saw it… … .”

She said and took something out of her pocket.

I was nervous inside, so I carefully checked what she was handing over and accepted it.

“Hegel gave it to me. A letter and a ring.”

Apart from the letter, the ring?

A ring for a moment?

“ring?”

“Heigel must have had a pretty good opinion of you.”

At Eika’s words, I narrowed my brows.

Taking a closer look at the ring she handed over, it was clearly a ‘gathering ring’.

‘Even if you belong to the assembly, this is not something anyone can have.’

I knew there were only 10 of them even within the assembly.

In the game, it was a ring that was rarely dropped when killing a named class warlock.

You gave me that ring?

‘Whenever you want to hit the ground running… … .’

Of course, I guess it was because of other goals, but it was difficult to guess Hegel’s intentions.

While I was thinking that, Aika spoke to me.

“Now that I have done what I asked for, my business remains.”

Aika smiled at me.

“Would you like to join my clique, Adrias Cromwell?”
