Necromancer’s Evolutionary Traits

[ Episode 286. The kingdom of corpses, the first trial ]

Tring!

[You have entered the Hidden Dungeon ‘Kingdom of Corpses’.]

Upon entering the gate, there were traces of the preceding group’s rampage.

Only two mercenaries who seemed to be at the bottom remained, diligently picking up stone fragments.

“You must be so relaxed because you have thoughts, right?”

Seeing that, Noah asked me if I was getting a little nervous, and I just nodded.

“For now, let’s drill a road to the place called the royal palace.”

“me! I’m First!”

Luna used Advent with an excited expression.

Then, a translucent scythe she had seen before was summoned and placed in her hand.

“Let’s go!”

It was impressive to see the Dodo running.

However, after passing through the double gates, the wide street revealed, Luna lost her way and became a mess.

“friend! Where should I go?”

Gil pointed to Mejour, who already knew but was moving alongside to avoid showing off.

“Mejour knows the way, so let’s get directions.”

“good! Come on, give me directions!”

As Luna brushed away, Mejour moved smoothly in the air and began to take the lead.

Kinane and Paisi were already out of sight, as if the water had risen in the hunt, and only the men of Shahi Shamad were laughing in the distance.

It seemed that he completely forgot the words of being together that he had promised at the beginning.

“People went in first, would it be okay?”

Agatha, who opened her mouth after a long time, muttered, as if she had been thinking the same thing as me.

There was no big problem because they had to come to the place where the mejour was located to exchange the stone pieces anyway.

“First, we will clear the road.”

I started off with the northerners in front.

The Northerners, who are currently in charge of the largest axis among our party’s forces, coolly destroyed the undead that stood in their way.

“I will take care of the stone carvings themselves. Is there anyone who would like to share?”

“It’s okay for us, but isn’t that a loss for you?”

One of the northerners asked, picking up a piece of stone.

The tattoo on the bald head of the name Itaya stood out.

“I am fine. What about the rest of you?”

“I like it too.”

“All mine!”

“doesn’t care.”

Starting with Vivian, Luna Noah answered in turn, and Agata also nodded.

“No complaints.”

“Then our party will do so.”

In fact, the joint distribution was easier to calculate, but it could lead to dissatisfaction, so we decided on individual distribution first.

Later on, I’ll be so distracted that I won’t even remember who owns the stone fragments, so I’ll have to go back and change the distribution method again.

The road to the palace was smooth.

The inside of the castle was wide and complex, but it was simple because most of the royal palaces were located in the center, so you had to go in a straight line.

“I heard that it’s an ancient ruin, but it’s not that different, right?”

Noah looked around the street and said.

As she said, the houses and buildings were not much different from the empire we live in.

Occasionally, buildings with unique styles were often seen, but that was true of empires and other kingdoms as well.

Slap!

Arrows flew and pierced the blue skeleton’s forehead.

As expected, Agata’s archery was strong for a mercenary, but it was too ordinary than I expected.

It feels like a character that just passes by, not playable.

‘Maybe he’s hiding his skills.’

My heart was complicated because it became clear that it was related to the scene.

I never thought I would be hostile to playables.

“and! Palace!”

The royal palace, which was not visible due to the fog, gradually began to appear.

“Somehow it looks gloomy…”

As Noah said, the royal palace had a sharp and gloomy appearance.

The color was also dark blue like the castle wall, so that feeling was further emphasized.

“Thank you for bringing me this far. But there are still gates left.”

Mejour pointed forward.

Where he pointed, he saw a huge iron armor guarding the entrance to the palace.

“Living Armor.”

It was an ignorant size, almost the size of a house.

It was an impressive figure holding a huge mace in both hands.

It was an elite undead, not a boss level, so there was nothing to worry about.

I immediately drew my sword while using magic.

“I will destroy it at once.”

Soon the magic was activated, and the two legs of the Living Armor froze.

When the Living Armor stumbled at the sudden magic, the northerners led by Itaya ran.

Kwaaang!

The ax of Matam, one of the Northerners, was blocked by the Mace of the Living Armor.

However, the remaining two follow-up attacks were stuck in the Living Armor’s neck and stomach.

cooong!

“So hard!”

Due to the nature of Living Armor, its attack power is low, but its defense power is high, so it maintains its durability.

After the northerners’ attack, Luna and Noah joined forces.

“ha ha ha!”

Luna’s scythe landed on the head of the Living Armor, and Noah’s arm, stained black, struck the Living Armor with great strength.

Vivian stood by her side, saying she would escort me, and Agatha stood still, guessing that her arrows wouldn’t work.

I feel sorry for being bullied, so should I end it at this point?

Cheeik!

Galaksur was dyed red.

The magic-fused aura began to raise the temperature viciously.

Wow!

Living Armor’s body was deeply dented here and there.

I ran straight to the Living Armor, which showed traces of being beaten by ignorance rather than sharpness.

“It’s filthy hard.”

Noah’s voice passed by and I immediately swung my sword at the core of the Living Armor.

No matter how hard the armor was, the flawlessness that split the world capital was swung along with the key of Changcheon Il Sword’s Gungno Ilwoo.

Quarreung!

In an instant, the sword split into 6 prongs and was thrust down like lightning.

The place where it was pierced was the location where there was only one nucleus.

Tuduk-

Clang!

– Gooooooo.

The first living armor that made a sound collapsed as it was.

And the northern mercenaries who were watching the scene looked at me with surprised expressions.

“Awesome!”

“Are you a great shaman and a great fighter at the same time?”

Surprised by the topic that they also saved their money to come.

If you look at it except for the simple aura match, the destructive power and power of my swordsmanship will not be able to match even the aura master.

I use the fusion of magic, the swordsmanship left by the transcendent, and the famous martial arts in Moorim at the same time.

“You are wonderful. Thanks to you, the road has been opened.”

Mejour, who had been watching until then, stepped out.

Then, I picked up a key from the place where the Living Armor fell.

“This is the key to open the entrance. Since you were the ones who got the key, I’ll pay for it separately.”

“Good!”

The momentum of the northern mercenaries was good because they finally had a proper battle.

It was a little creepy that Luna was spinning the scythe, as if she hadn’t noticed yet.

“Let’s go in.”

Soon, he used the key to open the entrance to the palace.

Looking at the palace buildings vaguely visible in the distance, you could tell that the site of the palace was also filthy wide, so it wasn’t over yet.

“uh?”

Luna, who entered first, tilted her head.

“Look at that! You’re fine!”

What she pointed to was none other than the undead.

However, unlike the guys I’ve seen so far, they were watching us in a calm manner.

“Ronda! You are safe.”

Mejour looked at the undead and pretended to know.

The opponent was a skeleton, so I couldn’t tell the gender, but it seems that it was a woman.

Crackle!

Something sounds very familiar.

“Yes, I was also safe. Are there a lot of normal people inside?”

Crackle!

Luna muttered while watching the situation where it was unclear how the conversation would work.

“Poor.”

“yes?”

“These kids still think they are alive.”

Can Luna hear that conversation too?

As a necromancer who handles souls, it must be possible to understand.

Then you should be able to talk to Nickel.

“I will keep that in mind. Would you like to go with me?”

right!

“All right. Please beware of the madmen.”

Mejour bowed politely and urged us on.

“Let’s go. There are still a lot of people inside who are fine.”

In fact, there were several undead NPCs inside the palace.

In the game, I received quests from such NPCs or used convenience functions, but it seems to be similar in real life.

“Where is the work place you said at the beginning?”

“It’s the building over there.”

It was not too far away.

I already know, but after asking for confirmation, I told Mejour.

“I’ll go to my place of work first.”

“Ah, I see.”

When I spoke firmly, Mejour nodded.

I didn’t come here to rescue sane undead, I just wanted Mejour to serve as a proper store for us.

Fortunately, there were few hostile undead inside the palace.

Thanks to that, we quickly entered Mejour’s office building and wiped out the remaining undead inside the building.

Kwajik!

“This is the end.”

Agatha posted a report and picked up a piece of stone.

With the surroundings clean and tidy, Mejour bowed her head to us.

“thank you. Thanks to all of you, I’m back here. But there are still a lot of crazy people out there. If you deal with them and bring me the stone fragment, I will exchange it for a suitable reward.”

Finally, the Merit Shop opened.

Now it’s time to start hunting in earnest.

I didn’t have to worry too much because I would be able to meet the other groups naturally.

“Let’s go hunting now.”

“Are you finally moving! I’ve been waiting for you!”

I nodded as I looked at Itaya, who seemed more happy than I was, even though she must have been hired.

“I will weave the route. As I said, each person decides on the distribution of the stone fragments and takes them. Disputes are absolutely forbidden.”

“Do that.”

At that time, Mejour, who had been watching us, said quietly.

“Do you have any intention of working on the grounds of the palace?”

“I try to go to a place with as many enemies as possible. It seems that there are more outside than here.”

“……be careful.”

Of course, be careful.

I already knew this dungeon.

It doesn’t seem like a big deal now, but it soon turns into a crazy difficulty.

“I will be back soon.”

“yes.”

After taking a look at Mejour, we came out of the building.

And immediately started walking toward the destination.

“You are walking fast. I thought it was relaxing, wasn’t it?”

“Because it looks like I like moving quickly.”

I had time to open Mejour’s shop, but I liked moving quickly from now on.

After roughly checking the time, I immediately led the party and walked west.

Kwajik!

Kwadeuk!

The undead were wandering around the streets, and when they found us, they attacked us repeatedly.

The number was smaller than when they first entered the kingdom, so the northerners made an expression of regret.

“It is quiet.”

“Are the others hunting too? How come there is no noise?”

While we were talking about each other, the time had come.

Having almost reached the destination, I warned the energy that I was starting to feel.

“Get ready.”

“hmm!”

The others nodded as if they sensed the presence.

Then, the complexion began to change due to the energy that became more and more ridiculous.

“Am I feeling wrong?”

“No, this is……”

Doo doo doo doo!

– Kwaaak! Wow!

– Bake it!

The first wave of

trials in the kingdom of corpses has begun.
