Necromancer’s Evolutionary Traits

Episode 149. I had no choice

but to abruptly stop my plan to show Nickel’s self.

Trawler was more interested in Galaksur than my sudden behavior.

He moved uncomfortably close to me, examining Galakshur’s blade carefully.

“Where did you get this sword?”

“I got it from someone I know.”

“Can I take a look?”

I didn’t pull out my sword to do this, but I handed the sword to Trawler obediently.

It’s to prove Nickel’s ego. You can do it in a little while.

And in case you don’t know

Maybe Trawler will find a way to unlock the second seal that I don’t know about.

“Amazing. It is a beautiful sword.”

He admired Galaksur’s center of gravity and sharpness for a while.

In particular, he continued to praise the dazzling sword body because it was not pure white.

“It is a truly amazing sword. It has practicality as well as artistry. Did you just receive a sword like this?”

“It didn’t look like that at first. It was an ordinary, old sword.”

“what?”

After hearing my words, Trauler began examining Galaksur more closely.

And shortly thereafter, he exclaimed.

“under! That’s ridiculous. This kind of technology is impossible in the present age!”

“Did you find something?”

“An unknown power surrounds the sword. And if you look at the shape of the sword or the patterns engraved on it… … .”

Trawler suddenly looked at Morne.

It was as if he wanted to come and look at the sword together.

“Keep talking. I am listening.”

Morne nodded, and Trawler continued his explanation.

“If you look carefully at this part here, you can see that ancient patterns are engraved. Looking at this, it seems to be a sword made in ancient times. I can’t say for sure, of course, but I’m sure it’s clear from the power that surrounds this sword. This kind of power is what we often call the power of the Old Gods.”

“god!”

Luna, who was with him, shouted.

It must have been a very interesting topic for her, who had already experienced the existence of God with me.

By the way, I didn’t know that Galaksur was a sword related to God, but I got good information.

It was the first time I knew that Trawler knew about ancient gods and symbols.

“Again, I cannot confirm my guess. I’m not the master who made this sword, and I’m just a villager with no experience in ancient times.”

“Anyway, you’re saying it seems to be related to the Old Gods, right?”

“That’s right. As you know, the ‘Star Hunter’ I made by luck was also influenced by the power of God. Judging from that experience, the power contained in this sword felt very similar to that time.”

Trawler’s masterpiece, the Demonic Sword Star Hunter.

It’s a named-level item that I’ve accidentally obtained in a game.

I heard the previous owner was dead, I don’t know who it was, but I got it from an auction house.

However, for something that was obtained with a lot of money, its characteristics were a bit ambiguous and peculiar.

A sword with abilities that would make no sense if it were not for a game where killing an opponent with a high reputation to match the name of the sword would increase the sword’s stats and raise the wearer’s stats.

‘It’s understood only in the game, but it’s a sword that can’t exist in reality… … .’

Even so, how can a single sword judge whether a reputation is high or low?

It’s a game, there’s a correction called the system, so reputation is quantified and I use it naturally, but this place where I am is reality.

In reality, fame was an invisible value.

Therefore, the standard of high and low was not clear, and the numerical value of becoming stronger could not be objective.

Fame and the power of the opponent are not proportional, so it doesn’t actually absorb power, and it doesn’t make sense to use a sword that absorbs fame… … .

‘It actually exists. There are people who made it in front of my eyes.’

If the ability was the same here, Trawler’s words made sense.

If the power of God intervened, then the impossible could become reality.

I don’t know if I’m omniscient, but I thought it would be possible to absorb the reputation of ‘Star Hunter’ as I personally experienced the power of a god that was almost omnipotent.

“However, the difference with the sword I made is that my ‘Star Hunter’ happened to have the power of a god, and this sword seems to have been made with the power of a god in mind.”

“It is an amazing sword. My child, may I ask who you got this sword from?”

There’s no need to hide it.

Anyway, Bahat must have forgotten the existence of this sword.

“I received it from Bahat Alven. I heard that you got it from a dungeon located in the desert.”

“Ohh.”

Morne nodded and put on a look of interest.

And when Bahat’s name came out, Trawler nodded in agreement.

“If he was that guy, he might have been able to get a sword like this. But you wouldn’t have recognized the identity of this sword. So I gave it to you.”

All of Trawler’s guesses were correct.

If it was Galaksur before, even Trauler wouldn’t have recognized it.

I wouldn’t have known if I hadn’t been able to see the item window in the first place.

But talking about it makes me feel like I know Bahat.

Have you ever met each other as much as they are celebrities?

“Did you say Adrias Cromwell? Do you know that this sword is still sealed?”

“A seal? I had no idea.”

I knew it, but pretended not to know.

Even if I pretended to know, it was difficult to explain how I knew.

“You said that this sword changed its appearance once. Even then, the seal must have been broken. But the seal still remains. Interesting.”

Trawler, who suddenly rolled up his arms and held a hammer, spoke to me.

“Lend me your sword for a moment.”

“Before that, please confirm your promise to make equipment for my undead. Then I’ll lend you anything.”

Only then was he able to return to the main topic and bring up the story of the undead.

Nickel, whether aware of this situation or not, was silently swinging her sword, and Luna was playing around next to Nickel.

“That’s a separate story. However, judging from their attitude just now, it seems that they are confident that the undead have their own selves. What did you try to prove?”

“I have a peculiar constitution. You can handle sword and magic at the same time.”

“I see. I was so distracted by this sword that I hadn’t even thought about it. Isn’t it common for wizards to carry swords?”

“So I tried to show you sparring with my undead. If my undead don’t have an ego, it’s almost impossible.”

The undead moved simply based on the orders given by their master.

Only high-ranking undead can understand complex commands, and most of them just follow their instincts.

The only undead with egos were the undead made of superhumans.

However, it would be hard to believe that I, who was only in my 20s, created the undead as an Auror Master or Warlock.

Even if you were lucky enough to get the body of a superhuman, most of you think of using it when you develop your skills and make a Death Knight or a Lich.

‘Although I, who have evolved, are different.’

The couplets I tried to show required concentration.

In such a situation, I couldn’t make the undead move by giving complicated commands one by one.

So, if it was an ordinary undead rather than a superhuman undead, it would have been difficult to establish sparring.

‘It’s been quite a while since I fought against Nickel.’

When I just started learning the sword, I was beaten every day.

Anyway, Nickel is the one who reached Auror Master.

If I fight against Nickel’s swordsmanship with all my might, it will prove that Nickel has an ego, even if I don’t want to believe it.

“It’s sparring with his own undead… … . It’s worth seeing.”

“Hmm… … You’ve been hiding a pretty nasty guy, sweetheart.”

As soon as I was confident, it seemed that Morne noticed.

That Nickel is an undead created by an Auror Master.

“First, check the sword and come back. Can you wait that long?”

“yes.”

That’s how I unexpectedly took a break.

kang! kang!

On one side, the sound of my Galaksur being hammered.

Quadduk!

Awesome!

Nickel’s power show was unfolding in front of me.

Nickel was training by countering the magic that Luna threw because she was bored.

And Morne, who clearly felt that there was an ego in that appearance, said with a smile.

“haha. You really seem to be an Aura Master. Wasn’t it worth it?”

“I used it at will because I was in a hurry to live right now.”

“It was not a bad decision. Sometimes, there were guys who saved it but couldn’t even use it and ended up dying in a riotous manner. No, most do. You are unique.”

Morne was talking to me, but his eyes were on Nickel.

Nickel, who silently wielded the sword without paying attention to the surroundings, immediately broke the magic that Luna secretly used with the sword and entered the training mode again.

That guy could get annoyed at this level, but he has great patience.

Well, that’s why I must have become an Aura Master in such an ignorant way.

“I wonder how he got it, but it is an unwritten rule not to ask. But that’s what I want to ask. Have you already used the body of King Ho and the Fairy Queen you took from me?”

“Can I show you?”

“haha. You have determination. I should have saved it and used it, but I managed to do it.”

It may be a decisive action from the point of view of Morn who does not know evolution.

However, I had no intention of telling the evolution, so I just passed it off with a laugh.

“grandfather.”

Luna, who had been harassing Nickel secretly following Morn, called him.

“Why is that?”

“Would Grandpa Death Knight be more likely, or would my friend Phantom be more likely?”

“haha. yeah of course… … .”

“I guess I’ll have to stick with it.”

Oh, the words came out without me knowing.

But there was no need to repeat it, so I stayed quiet.

“Huh. Can you be sure of that, my child?”

A light flashed in Morne’s half-closed eyes.

It was just a thoughtless remark, but it unexpectedly seemed to have touched Morn’s pride.

But the problem is that I am very proud of nickel.

“I was speechless.”

Is it an illusion that Morne’s complexion looks slightly disappointed as I obediently lowered my head?

But my words are not yet finished.

“The words themselves are false, but the opinion that you don’t know the outcome until you see it doesn’t change.”

“It’s interesting.”

At Morne’s words, a black subspace opened and a Death Knight came out.

Wearing a black full body armor and a helmet, the Death Knight overwhelmed the surroundings with his atmosphere.

“Ohhh!”

For some reason, Luna showed excitement, and Nickel, who was accepting Luna’s prank, turned her head and looked at the Death Knight.

“This child’s name is Ludelon. He is one of the Auror Masters I caught myself.”

Seeing Ludelon in person gives me a new feeling.

I’ve already encountered it several times in the game.

He was familiar with Morne because he had fought countless times in the game.

Compared to other bosses, I had a lot of fighting experience, especially with Morn. The reason was the infinite retry due to the failed capture.

‘One of the bosses that made me use the save load new skill the most. It was as difficult and strong as that.’

Thanks to that, he knew the number of undead Morne had and the characteristics of some particularly strong undead.

Ludelon is the 3rd strongest Death Knight among them.

Among all the undead in Morne, it might go down even further, but it was ranked third among the Death Knights.

“How are you? Do you still think your nickel is worth sticking with my Ludelon?”

“yes.”

I nodded carelessly.

Of course, the tier itself is far inferior to the phantom nickel.

However, I was convinced that Nickel could win in terms of the uniqueness of absorbing sloth, synchronization with original sin, and the use of Aura Biggie due to special skills.

Turbuck.

Nickel has arrived.

He looked down at Morne and Ludelon in a rather provocative manner, probably understanding everything we were saying.

“The same Auror Master, but the body of a phantom and the body of a Death Knight. I don’t know how great an Auror Master he was, but I don’t think he can fill the gap?”

If it wasn’t for the original sin and sloth, of course I would have thought I couldn’t win.

And at this point, I’m also curious.

Can the power of sin bridge this superior physical gap?

“Son, would you like us to bet?”

“Is it Dalian?”

“okay. If you’re so confident, you’re confident you’ll win the bet, right?”

I honestly don’t know if I can win.

However, if you use Aura Biggi, you might be able to win by taking advantage of your carelessness.

No matter how much a Death Knight was created by an Aura Master, its performance could not reach that of an Aura Master.

In the first place, since you can’t use Aura Technique, you can’t use Aura Master.

However, Nickel can also use Aura Big and has a record of defeating Hosan, a strong swordsman who was close to an Aura Master.

‘Whoa.’

Still, I decided to take a step back.

You don’t have to tell me that you can use Aura Biggi, right?

“If it’s damaged, I don’t have the materials to fix it. It’s a big risk.”

I turned around and expressed that I did not want to engage in sparring.

It seemed that my self-esteem had been built up without my knowledge because I was friendly with others.

Then, as if he interpreted the meaning of my words differently, he burst out laughing.

“Heh heh heh! You seem to be really confident. Baby, your undead are just phantoms, and Ludelon is a Death Knight. If Nickel is damaged in the sparring, I’ll be sure to fix it. Then how about it?”

Certainly, given what I said, it sounds like you can win even if you get hurt.

Aura Biggie Sin Buff… … .

No matter how you think about it, the odds were good enough.

Above all, I believed in Nickel’s ability.

There was also the loss of showing an aura, but depending on the reward of the bet, it’s worth betting.

“What are you going to bet on?”

“Confidence is good to see. I hope it’s not a childish confidence. The bet is… … .”

After thinking for a moment, Morne smiled evilly.

“How about a ring?”

ring?

I hadn’t even thought about the ring… … .

“You mean the rally ring?”

“okay. You can just admit your weakness and walk away. That ring is worth far more than you think. If you have it, guys from other factions will offer you good deals, so don’t overdo it.”

When Morn asked if he was still going to fight, I smiled along with him.

I should be calm too, but I felt a fire gradually ignite.

It was all the more so because the odds of nickel were visible in the first place.

And if it’s the lure of the meeting ring… … .

“It’s okay. Then it’s rather good.”

“haha… … .”

Nickel, standing next to me, slowly drew his sword.

His calmly burning fighting spirit was felt even by me, the owner.

“I will wear a ring.”
