Necromancer’s Evolutionary Traits

Episode 55. Hassan and an unexpected meeting

The time to descend was slowly approaching.

Thanks to that, I felt regretful, so I was trying to reduce my sleep and focus on training.

‘What are you doing like that every night.’

At night, Deshun stopped watching my practice and gave me advice, and went into the cabin first.

Then I felt like I was doing something all night, but I just ignored it because it might be personal.

“Suck!”

Pak! Pak!

He even succeeded in using sword wind twice in a row.

Of course, it was still uneasy to write in real combat.

‘Come to think of it, it seems that Nickel also used sword wind when fighting.’

I didn’t look closely at him fighting in the belief that if a battle happened, he would do well on his own.

However, vaguely memorable afterimages showed not only sword winds but also bizarre movements.

Until now, I thought I was just using fluidization, but after learning from Deshurn, it seems that there was a separate movement of nickel that was different from fluidization.

‘It’s a shame.’

He asked me to teach him the sword, but he left out the details and taught me only basic swordsmanship.

Of course, it was my fault for not saying it properly, but it was ambiguous to ask Nickel to tell me such details.

Feeling that it was time to sleep, I put Galakshur in.

Then he went into a nearby creek, wiped off his sweat, and entered the cabin.

“Are you finished?”

“yes. Let’s go in first.”

“okay. Get some rest.”

What are you writing down?

He seemed to be writing something down at his small utility desk, but he didn’t pay much attention and went to his room and went to sleep.

‘Now I’ll have to go down the mountain tomorrow or the day after tomorrow so I can arrive on time.’

I wondered if I was trying to fit in too well, but I was desperate for Deshurn’s teaching.

In particular, there was still a lot to learn about the management of mana, so there was even a temptation to hit the academy.

‘Of course it shouldn’t be like that.’

Soon, important playable characters including Lewis will be enrolled.

In order to prevent the destruction of the world, they had to subtly guide them in their direction.

When I was playing the game, I had a quest so I could follow the big stem, but now they had no reins.

‘Of course I can’t control them at will.’

Still, it’s better than doing nothing.

Especially in the case of Lewis, I was expecting a lot.

That’s also true, since I only played Lewis for one year, half of the two years of gameplay, I couldn’t help but have a special attachment.

It was a sleepless night thinking that I would see him soon.

* * *

I woke up at a time when the early morning air felt bleak, and when I came out of my room, I could see an empty cabin.

I thought Deshurn had gone out for a while, and the moment I thought about doing a simple mountain run, I found a book that had fallen in front of the door.

‘The reason I put it here… … .’

are you giving it to me?

When I lifted the book, I saw a title whose ink was not yet dry.

[Non-self sword]

I can’t believe it’s an item display… … .

“The sword book?”

I held the book for a while and tried to calm my complicated head.

But it was hard to keep cool.

no, it’s a swordsman

It is also a swordsman’s book written by Deshurn Fallon himself.

In the case of Deshurn, he is also old, and he is a person who feels like a recluse, so I have never received an episode related to him except for Louis.

And even that Louis had never studied swordsmanship with Deshurn.

‘Is this the real Swordsman Book left by Deshurn?’

I went around the cabin with the book looking for Deshurn, but he wasn’t there.

I finally got out of the house and looked around, but there was no sign of him anywhere.

Eventually, I returned to the cabin and slowly opened the booklet.

‘Adrias Cromwell. I’m sorry for suddenly leaving a gift here. I am ashamed of such a manly behavior as I am of my age. Forgive me for leaving my heart in writing like this.’

For some reason, it seemed as if Deshurn’s laughter could be heard.

I smiled involuntarily and continued reading.

‘In fact, I wanted you to continue to study under me if there was enough time and conditions. However, there will be my circumstances and there will be your circumstances, so that must be excessive greed. So, I tried to write down my teachings in a booklet. Maybe you guys can handle this on your own. The next time we meet, please hope that your skills are better than what is written in this book. P.S. Memorize everything as much as possible and then burn it. Don’t get involved in anything serious.’

That was all of Deshurn’s letter.

After that, it covered everything from the basics he had already learned to the advanced course in which his sword techniques were written.

I closed the booklet for a while and sat still in the chair.

Being favored by someone was something I wasn’t used to.

And once again, I thought that I was fortunate to come over to this world.

The pressure that only I knew the end of the world came over me from time to time, but even so, the existence of my family who believed in me and these relationships gave me a reason to live.

‘So Deshurn is out of the Krates Mountains now.’

There was no reason to be here any longer.

I was setting the timing to descend, but Deshurn hit me first.

Before leaving, I looked around Deshurn’s desk and left a letter of thanks.

I’m also sick of men’s affairs, so I couldn’t use it hesitantly, so I kept it short.

‘I hope we can meet again.’

-I’ll just go. Master.

* * *

A boy was stumbling along a wet road at night.

In his arms was a long object wrapped in purple cloth that was incongruous with his diminutive size.

growl

How many days did you starve?

The boy who looked so mean was just walking aimlessly.

‘hungry.’

The reality that changed in a few days lost its meaning in front of an empty stomach.

The boy, who had nothing but the things he was holding in his arms, fell into the thought that he might starve to death.

“I have to protect… … .”

Consciousness gradually fades.

Unable to bear it any longer, the boy passed out as he leaned against a wooden pole by the side of the road.

‘I have to keep it. Now I’m the only one.’

Conscious of death, the boy soon came up with the idea to dig in the ground and hide the object he was holding.

Although I was worried that I would be able to sell the land because I ran out of strength, I had to hide things to die like this.

The thing he had

was something that shouldn’t be revealed to this world, ‘Magic Sword Rubens’.

And until now, it was a sword that his tribe had risked their lives to protect the seal for generations.

However, due to the attack of the monsters that occurred a few days ago, only the boy barely survived and was able to escape with the sword.

Deciding to exert himself a little more, the boy entered the forest, deciding that it was better to go deep into the forest rather than along the road.

Then the smell of grilling meat hit the tip of his nose.

growl

The boy unknowingly walked in the direction of the smell, holding the demonic sword in his bosom.

Then, I could find a man grilling rabbit meat there.

Clap.

“ah.”

The boy turned around and met the eyes of the man looking at him.

Then, as soon as he hurriedly backed away, he fell.

The man got up from his seat and approached the boy.

“Don’t come any closer!”

I tried to scream, but it looked like a frightened kitten hissing, so it wasn’t threatening at all.

However, the man who had lit the bonfire did not approach the boy any further and just went back to his seat, cut the meat, and gestured.

“Want some?”

At his words, the boy’s throat went wide.

But I shook my head.

“Thank you, but let’s go.”

However, contrary to words, he could not leave his seat easily.

The man watched the boy and put spices on the cut meat and put it in his mouth.

Just seeing how delicious the food was, the boy’s stomach clamored.

“Ugh.”

For some reason, the boy, overcome with sadness, burst into tears.

I don’t want to die. I didn’t want to die in vain while protecting this sword in a place like this.

However, he had to do his best to hide this sword for the sake of the villagers who died for his noble mission.

At that time, the man who was grilling the meat tore off one of the rabbit’s legs and then blew it and put spices on it.

Then she got up and went over to the boy.

“Go closer… … .”

“There is also water here, so eat with it.”

The man put the bucket and rabbit leg down in front of the boy and backed off.

The boy, who looked at him with a blank face, soon picked up the meat and water bucket with trembling hands.

gulp.

drink a sip of water

Enemy.

tore off the meat

“Huh.”

Tears leaked out.

I feel like I have never tasted such delicious meat since I was born.

The boy ate the meat in one go and drank the water.

In the meantime, the man also cut the remaining meat in front of the boy.

“Eat slowly. I get sick.”

“Black. Thank you very much.”

The boy continued to eat the meat, muttering, not knowing whether he was saying hello or shedding tears.

* * *

‘Why are you here?’

I tried my best to hide my complex feelings due to the sudden appearance of a character.

‘Benjamin Anikius.’

The boy who appeared in front of me was none other than the second playable character after Lewis.

As it was still before the start of the game, it was time to be in Lujin Village, a village isolated from the world.

Looking at her condition, she seemed to be suffering quite a bit.

Fortunately, the magic sword Rubens had it.

‘He was the master of the sword and the genius of the sword.’

If Lewis is a genius with the feeling of being good at all things, in Benjamin’s case, he is a special characteristic only for him, ‘the master of the sword’, and he is a genius who undergoes tremendous correction when it comes to swords.

It is also a setting that he was able to become the master of the demonic sword with that characteristic in the first place.

‘But why is he walking around with a magic sword like this?’

As planned, he should have been recognized as the master of the demonic sword in the village and the story should have gone on a journey to seal the true sword.

Until he left on a trip, his main story was to train in the village like other characters train at the academy, but why is he here with this face?

It was pitiful to see him doze off as soon as he ate the meat, probably because he was suffering so much.

‘It reminds me of the Holy See.’

Park Seong-bo, who was the youngest member of the special unit, was like that after an intense training or mission.

I thought of something out of the blue and gently covered him with a blanket.

No matter how tired you are, you don’t even notice when the blanket covers you, and you gossip.

‘Now, what should I do with this guy?’

Let’s think good.

He’s a kid with tremendous potential to become the second playable.

What if I made this guy on my side anyway?

‘Isn’t it a complete dog’s gain?’
