Necromancer’s Evolutionary Traits

Chapter 339



[ Episode 339. Back Stage ]

Even after Adrias entered Ouroboros, the white monsters continued to attack.

“There is no end.”

“If there were no undead, we would never have been able to stop them.”

While the Warlocks were admiring Adrias’ new influence, Lucia was watching Luna’s condition.

“Is your sister okay?”

“Yes.”

Luna got harder as time went on.

Lucia supported her, who was struggling to the point that she couldn’t even stand on her own.

“I’m sorry, I have to protect my brother…”

“I’m fine.”

Lucia tried to analyze the magic circle in Luna’s body using magic.

‘The cause of the hardship is the magic circle, so if you know what the magic circle is for…’

Then, Keshun Violga, whom I had seen at the academy before, approached me.

“I will help too.”

“……Thank you for the favor, but I will decline.”

Kashurn read the doubt in Lucia’s eyes and lowered his head.

“I’m sorry if you felt suspicious. My specialty is magic circles, so I approached you hastily.”

Keshun said so, but there was no sign of backing down. He exhaled with difficulty and looked at Luna, who even closed his eyes, and said.

“The most helpful thing I can do in this situation is to help him. Please let me check it just once.”

“I can’t do it…”

“It’s okay.”

Luna stopped Lucia.

Then, with half-open eyes, he waved weakly at Keshurn.

“I’m okay. So do what you can.”

“sister.”

Lucia looked at Luna with worried eyes.

Luna Pendragon.

Lucia had noticed her true identity from the first time he met her. The daughter of Eve Millennium, a famous black magician and legendary witch called Madman’s Eve. It was already widely known that she was Maxwell’s daughter.

‘Poor.’

Lucia caught a glimpse of the sadness hidden in Luna’s gorgeous appearance. It felt so vivid because it was similar to Lucia herself, who had hidden her true feelings through indolence.

“You don’t need to overdo it.”

black magician? That didn’t mean anything to Lucia.

In fact, when Adrias summoned the undead a little while ago, there was a moment of confusion, but that was all.

A kind of kinship.

Unlike herself, now stripped thanks to Adrias, the little girl was still encased in her shell.

“Lucia, my sister. It’s okay because you’re my sister.”

Every time I saw Luna pretending to be okay, unknown emotions rose up. Lucia, thinking of herself in the past, who thought she could endure everything alone and hold on, embraced Luna with tears in her eyes.

“Lucia?”

“Sister, I haven’t been with you for a long time, but…”

Lucia couldn’t just leave a girl who was older than herself, but seemed to break if touched.

“I am on my sister’s side. So, if you are having a hard time, please tell me at any time. I won’t let anyone touch it.”

“…….”

Luna’s eyes, which were half-closed because of her power, were fully opened. Her eyes, like the Milky Way, soon became wet like Lucia’s.

“……Yes.”

Unable to stand between the two, Keshurn knelt down on one knee to meet Luna at eye level, still wary of the hectic surroundings.

Squeak-

“Whoa, do I have a magic circle?”

Luna rubbed her eyes and asked Keshun.

Kashurn silently nodded his head.

“Are you confident in the magic circle?”

“That’s right.”

“Lucia, I don’t want to be a burden like this.”

At Luna’s words, Lucia shook her head roughly.

“You are not a burden.”

“I promised my friend that I would protect Lucia. But it can’t be like this. And finding out the magic circle inside my body might be the way to solve this problem faster.”

Lucia couldn’t bear to deny it.

And since I vaguely guessed what Luna was feeling right now, I couldn’t stop her even more.

“I swear to Mana, I mean no harm.”

“……all right. Instead, check with me.”

I was just about to use magic to find out the magic circle. It was just because they didn’t believe in Keshurn that they blocked it, but everyone had the same idea.

“Then excuse me.”

Keshun carefully touched Luna’s wrist.

At the same time, he synchronized with Lucia’s mana and looked at Luna’s magic circle.

“……heart.”

Lucia’s expression twisted.

“I guessed, but it’s nasty.”

The magic circle engraved in Luna’s body was in her heart. It could have been obvious if it was obvious, but when they found out that it was actually in the heart, the two who confirmed it had no choice but to harden their expressions.

“The sophistication of this magic circle… I’m sorry to say this, but it’s so difficult that I should have died thousands of times while engraving it.”

Regarding the magic circle, even Keshurn, who prided himself on being a genius, stuck out his tongue. And Luna, who heard that, said with a face that she could guess something.

“I am the youngest.”

“yes?”

“Probably all my sisters and brothers are dead.”

The appearance of Luna who spoke calmly came more tragically because she was rather calm.

“I was lucky enough to buy one with a magic circle engraved on it.”

“Did you already know?”

At Keshun’s question, Luna shook her head.

“I did not know. But any wizard can guess.”

If it’s a magician…

Lucia and Keshurn couldn’t continue their words at the words that left a strange aftertaste.

“So what is this magic circle?”

“Let me check in a moment.”

Lucia was unable to interpret the magic circle, only chasing the magical power of Cashuren with mana and monitoring it. It was an impossible magic circle for her now.

“First of all, the biggest purpose of this magic circle is…to be honest, I don’t know if I’m right, but it’s absorption.”

“absorption?”

“In fact, it seems to have a purpose other than absorption because it is complexly entangled, but on the surface it is.”

At the word absorption, Luna and Lucia tilted their heads.

“What are you absorbing?”

“That I don’t know either. I understand that it absorbs something, but what is the goal or purpose of that…”

Kashurn said that, and soon added another explanation.

“It wasn’t just absorption. Besides absorption, transmission or connection was most notable, and above all the ancient runes. These are characters that have lost their function or meaning at present.”

“How can such a text come to my heart…”

Lucia looked at Luna with worried eyes. However, Luna, the party involved, did not show much expression even though she was sweating coldly.

“After all, there is no solution.”

“sorry. As for stepping out confidently, as you said, it didn’t help anything.”

“doesn’t care.”

Luna took a deep breath and quickly turned her head.

In the place where her gaze was directed, there was Ouroboros, whose appearance was unrecognizable due to its enormous size.

“My friend will solve everything anyway.”

“yes. If you are a senior, you will surely do something.”

Kururureung——!

As soon as the two of them finished talking, a huge roar rang out. Everyone who was fighting turned their heads at the deafening sound.

“What are you talking about!”

“Does it sound like it came from Ouroboros?”

The roar did not end.

As if a giant waking up from a long sleep, a bright light burst out just as everyone was worried about the constant noise.

“Oops!”

“Did you do it? Or is it wrong?”

“Aww! Get sucked in!”

The people who felt the vortex of light swirling around and their bodies being swept into it in an instant made them very nervous.

Uh-uh—

The people who felt that their bodies had arrived somewhere completely adjusted their blind eyes for a while due to the bright field of view.

“You’re back… are you back?”

“It’s a round table! You’re back! haha! I’m back!”

“Hahaha! Hahaha… heh heh heh!”

The people who returned to the original round table were talking gibberish, as if the space they had just before was a lie.

“It seems like it was a dream.”

“Am I alive? Actually, this is the underworld?”

“Live! ha ha ha! God I’m alive What is this all about? That…….”

“Adrias?”

“okay! Thanks to Adrias Cromwell! ha ha ha!”

“But where is Adrias?”

For a moment, the son-in-law became quiet.

Those who had been shouting joy also grasped the atmosphere and looked around.

“doesn’t exist?”

“doesn’t exist! Where are you? Couldn’t you have come with me!”

“That kind of nonsense……”

At that moment, Lucia was also groping the floor in embarrassment. It was because Luna, who had been in his arms until just before that, had completely disappeared.

“sister? Sister Luna? Where are you?”

Her cry only returned as an empty echo. The warlocks, who soon realized the seriousness of the situation, began to search for the two who disappeared using magic and scans with the returned mana.

“Not here. It doesn’t take anything.”

“Damn it! What the hell happened!”

“Adrias Cromwell, did you really sacrifice for us?”

No one was found.

Soon after, a sense of despair that was greater than the joy of returning to the Warlocks attacked. For those who lived as warlocks and lived with pride in their abilities all their lives, the feeling of helplessness was something that could not be described.

“Bahat! Hurry up and find Adrias!”

“Shut up.”

Bahat was using magic harder than anyone else. When it comes to space magic, even he, who was superior to any other wizard here, was at a loss.

‘Could it be that he was really abandoned in that space…….’

It was hard to believe, but seeing that he couldn’t find it even with his abilities, it seemed reasonable to infer that.

Nevertheless, Bahat could not give up.

“This son of a bitch…who cast the oath spell on account of someone…”

“Maxwell.”

At that time, Lucia, who had been lying on the floor in a daze, murmured.

“We need to find Maxwell Pendragon.”

“yes! There was a culprit behind all of this! Maxwell Pendragon!”

“I don’t think he’ll stay here. Let’s get out of the depths first.”

Bahat, who had been listening to the conversation, immediately used space movement magic. Coming out of the depths all at once, he looked around and immediately froze.

“……What the hell did you do, Maxwell?”

What he found was that all the wizards in Fortion were dried up like mummies.

**

After breaking the core of Ouroboros and coming to my senses, I immediately realized that I was in a strange place.

‘It’s not the original place.’

The more I looked around, the more strange it seemed.

The dark blue space close to black was decorated with structures that could only be seen in science fiction movies. How about the interior of a future spacecraft?

“……Luna?”

In that wide and expansive space, I found something that made me doubt my eyes.

It was Luna floating in the air at the center of space.

“Luna!”

Luna stayed awake with her eyes closed.

It seemed unconscious, but only the energy of intense mana was flowing in waves.

‘What is this crazy mana…….’

Something greater than the Lich King’s magical power that he felt before, which could not be felt as human, was felt from Luna.

Clap clap clap—

someone clapped and approached along with the gesture of popularity.

And that someone wasn’t alone.

“It was unexpected that you came to this space, but I should praise you. Good work.”

“Maxwell?”

As expected…

I guessed it, but it was Maxwell Pendragon.

But I couldn’t help but get goosebumps watching those who appeared.

“You did your part very well. You and my daughter were the most important roles, and they moved as we wanted.”

The first to speak was Maxwell, an old man whom he had met at the academy. However, what he said later was the young Maxwell he had seen at the round table.

The Maxwell I knew was one.

However, it was not just one person who appeared, but several.

“Isn’t one person changing their shape?”

“Well, I must have been surprised. But I am Maxwell.”

“I am Maxwell too.”

I thought I was going to get a mental illness because I talked to many people.

A total of six characters appeared, and among them, there were some really unexpected faces.

“Fade?”

“…….”

Fade, a black magician belonging to the assembly and called the master of the shadows. The mask made of a shiny material like his trademark was very conspicuous.

“I guess I should introduce myself again.”

While I was trying to organize my thoughts, completely frozen, old Maxwell said.

“I will formally introduce myself.”

Ugh—–!

Just in time, Luna, floating in the air, began to glow.

At the same time, the people who appeared in front of me spoke as if in chorus.

““We are Nivas.””
