Necromancer’s Evolutionary Traits

Episode 89. Fourth Prayer

At Adrias’s words, Salem showed his teeth and smiled.

I don’t know why, but Adrias’s condition seems to have improved and it seems like he’s gotten stronger all of a sudden.

‘You monstrous bastard. What is it all of a sudden? Did you wake up?’

This isn’t Lucia, should I take this guy?

Thinking that it was worth considering, he shattered the shadow that bound him at once.

“Adrias. Do you know the difference between recklessness and courage?”

“I am serious. I have information that might be of interest to Salem.”

At Adrias’ confident words, Salem was serious.

Once again, the same life as before shook the air.

“Can you be sure of that? You can die by making fun of your mouth.”

“I know where the bible left by the God of the Age of Mythology is.”

Hearing Adrias’ words, Salem narrowed his eyes and glared at him.

“Mythical Age? A Bible left by God?”

“It is literally.”

A Bible left in the ruins of the mythical age.

It was an object without any ability or effect, but there was one important content.

‘The fourth origin.’

Originally, a new origin is discovered through this scripture.

And the origin discovered in this way could play a very important role for Salem today.

‘I don’t need it because I already know. It would be much better to use it like this.’

According to the original history, it was the empire that would discover the Bible.

The bible found at Lake Irba, on the southwest border, was initially used as a political tool, with no efficacy found.

The empire, which praised itself for being able to discover it because it was chosen by God, provokes it by touching the nose hair of a castle country that exists on the other side of the continent, and in the process of doing so, it discovers a new origin during research.

The origin thus discovered was ‘harmony’.

‘Salem raised its magical ability and value at the cost of his body. But thanks to that, the body is disintegrating. If you find the Bible and know the harmony, things may improve.’

Above all, the current Empire is Adrias’ enemy.

If Salem took the Bible first, it would kill two birds with one stone, as it would kill the empire that should have been its original owner.

“Are you only confident with that? I didn’t see you that way.”

“I think you can think about it after checking what is written in the Bible.”

“You haven’t accepted the deal yet, but you say it as if it were natural. And you talk as if you know the contents of the Bible?”

“It is a relic from the age of mythology. It can’t be normal. Of course, the choice is up to Salem.”

Adrias held out his guts and waited for Salem’s decision.

In the first place, it was Salem where intellectual desire reached its peak.

It was Adrias’ idea that the probability of Salem giving up his personal desires and choosing Lucia was low.

After a while, Salem burst into laughter.

“As expected, Adrias Cromwell. It’s beyond my expectations. How the hell did you find that information?”

“The source cannot be disclosed. If you accept the deal and return Lucia, I will give you her location as promised. If the place you told me is not correct, you can come back and kill me.”

Perhaps he felt the sincerity of Adrias’ calm words, and Salem also lost his laughter and thought.

After some time passed, Salem finally opened his mouth.

“Not enough.”

Do you really think so?

Or are you trying to bargain?

‘Or maybe I’ve made Lucia’s chances much higher.’

To be honest, the Bible of the Age of Myth was Adrias, who knew that Salem would choose a Bible without looking back.

But it also made sense. It is natural that no one will believe it if it is just a Bible of the age of mythology without any information.

Of course I wasn’t worried.

Because the hand he had was infinite.

“But unpacking too much information could lead to Salem becoming suspicious of the source.” Besides, it may become difficult to handle the butterfly effect that will occur with such information.’

Salem, who had been watching Adrias’ expression as he pondered, said.

“Adrias. then do this I’ll leave Lucia behind once you give me the information. Instead, if I don’t cure Lucia within the two months you said, I’ll take her back. how is it.”

Contrary to Adrias’ concerns, Salem didn’t ask for more.

Instead, Salem, who wanted both Lucia and the Bible, asked as if offering a compromise.

Adrias smiled confidently, sensing the meaning of ‘Can you really cure in two months?’ in Salem’s words.

“yes. You do.”

“You cheeky bastard. It’s not as easy as you think. Don’t bother coming back later.”

A transaction was made.

said Salem, wrapping the evil snake in a cloth.

“so. Where is it located?”

“Can I just tell you now?”

As Adrias spoke while looking at Lucia, Lucia covered her ears with both hands.

Seeing this, Salem burst out laughing and said,

“Just tell me. Anyway, if there are no items in the place you said, you will just die by my hands.”

“Lake Irva across the southwestern border of the Empire. There will be an underwater cave at 7 o’clock centered in the middle of the lake.”

Adrias’s detailed explanation made Salem’s expression strange.

“The more I hear it, the more interesting it is. How did you find out about that?”

“Even if you catch me and kill me, I won’t be able to tell you.”

“Don’t kill me, man.”

After the deal was over, Salem turned around as if he had no regrets anymore.

Then, looking at Lucia, who was still standing with her ears covered, she said.

“Envy you. I have a boyfriend who takes care of me so terribly.”

“I am not your boyfriend.”

“Well then. I guess so. i’m going now I love you pretty.”

Salem trudged along, waving his hands with his back bent.

At the same time, Adrias and Lucia relaxed and sat down.

‘I did it.’

Not only did he do it, but he succeeded in a great number fight that even kept the empire in check.

Now, the empire no longer has to go to the bible and find a new origin and become stronger.

Suddenly, Lucia wriggled and looked at Adrias.

The moment Lucia, who had been looking sideways as if she had something to say, opened her mouth soon.

“what?”

great pressure.

The vibration created by mana was approaching from far away.

Salem, who was walking on the road, stopped, and Lucia must have felt it as well, showing signs of nervousness again and activating her mana.

The figure that looked like a dot from a distance soon began to appear as it approached at a tremendous speed.

“Berial!”

The person who appeared was none other than Berial Castro.

As soon as he arrived, he looked around Adrias, Lucia, and Salem, who were still making incomprehensible expressions, in order, and then opened his mouth.

“this this. What the hell happened here?”

“This ruined baby. Is that all your will?”

When Salem spoke to her, Berial smiled like a snake and bowed her head.

“Have you been well? Master.”

“Master?”

Lucia hurriedly covered her mouth in surprise.

Adrias was already aware of the fact, so he was silently watching the situation.

“Master? Is that all there is to say after hitting the back of my head and watching it for the first time in 10 years?”

“I hope you will understand. Honestly, isn’t it too much of a waste for a talented person like me to be Master’s experimental material?”

“You spoke well. what? experimental material? Feed the orphans, put them to sleep, raise them… … .”

“I had a lot of experiences after seeing them being tortured, experimented on, and brought back to life.”

“torture? Experiment? This baby. You did it because you asked to make it stronger. Where do you sell drugs?”

“I didn’t know it would hurt that much. me too.”

Apparently, there was no room for others to intervene in the feelings accumulated between the two.

“Are you okay anyway? You’re pretty hurt.”

Burial looked at Adrias.

And he looked up at Lucia, who still had tears in her eyes.

“Why did you touch the students of our academy again?”

“I’m pissed, I’m pissed. A bastard like you cares about students? How did you know about this place in the first place?”

“Student Adrias here is where I give private lessons. I didn’t see it today, so I followed the trail.”

At Berial’s words, Salem’s face lit up with a strange light once again.

Then, he smiled and let go of his luck as if he had figured out something.

“You tutoring Adrias? It’s barely visible. what are you aiming for?”

“Is that so? After all, Master can’t stand it.”

Adrias’ ears pricked up when he heard his story.

It was something I was curious about.

Why would a character like Belial who only knows himself teach himself lessons?

“Did you see potential in Adrias? To steal the original? After all, you always tried to catch up with me.”

“I will not deny it. They are good for each other.”

At the words of stealing the original, Adrias and even Lucia looked back at Burial.

For wizards, original magic was a great honor and at the same time a unique identity itself. However, if the mana arrangement and magic formula are copied, the risk of being stolen unexpectedly is high in original magic.

‘If a swordsman’s aura secret feels like a one-shot technique like his own special move, the original magic is the wizard’s original skill tree. However, if you have the talent, you can learn only by learning the spells and the arrangement of mana.’

Thanks to such characteristics, original magic passed down from generation to generation could exist in some prestigious magic families. A typical example is the spatial magic of the Alven family.

Unlike Aura Biggi, it was original magic that could be recorded and handed down.

However, in this world, mentioning the opponent’s original magic was close to a taboo.

“You are really crazy too. Seeing you speak so confidently.”

“I was just talking for granted.”

“So that means he’s crazy. Why is that natural?”

It was Burial who spoke a story that was far from public perception to the point that even Salem in the world said he was crazy.

Then, without warning, Burial attacked Salem.

Aaaaaang-!

The mana gathered at the fingertips shot out like a ray, and everything that the ray touched was extinguished.

“Thanks to what Master said, my plans are all messed up. He’s a wanted criminal of the empire anyway, so I’ll have to vent my anger.”

“This fucking bastard.”

Dozens of snake heads rushed at Burial along with the sudden sound of words coming from the side.

However, Berial looked at him calmly and raised the corner of his mouth.

Kaga gaga river!

Before I knew it, a thin, transparent film had spread around Berial.

‘Berial’s original magic was based on purity. I use the nature of mana.’

Even the thinly spread magic is a final act made with its own mana array and spell.

It was a skill created using only the repelling force of the pure nature of mana.

“I’m going to warm up after a long time.”

Salem lunged from a distance with a ghastly grin.

Even at that moment, the evil snake was aiming for Burial’s gap.

Quadd.

Sparks flew between Burial and the evil snake.

And Burial lightly flicked his foot and moved.

“What? Are you saying you didn’t see me for 10 years?”

Seeing Burial approaching, Salem let out a mischievous laugh.

Belial’s actions were not the same for him, who prided himself on being comparable to an Auror Master in close combat.

Thinking that I should properly educate him, he immediately lit a spark from his left arm.

Roar- Bang!

When Salem’s left fist touched Burial, the mana film swayed and roared.

Then, with a small incontinence, it collapsed.

“Master, unlike before, you seem to be talking a lot. Are you old?”

However, Burial did not panic at all and stretched out his hand to burst the mana.

The mana that exploded from a very close distance shone dazzlingly bright.

Kwaaang-!
