The strongest necromancer (266)
tower reward
silver-haired girl ran quickly.
She is running down a dark, long corridor.
But as the girl passed by, the surroundings seed to glow brightly.
The girl had a faint smile on her face, as if she wasn’t afraid of the dark hallway.
“grandfather! grandfather!”
What room did she arrive at?
The girl opened the door and entered, shouting with opal-colored eyes shining.
“Guests are here!”
The room was empty.
A place where the only furniture is a chair and a bookshelf.
The old man, who was quietly reading a book there, lowered his magnifying glasses down his nose and looked at the girl.
“custor?”
“huh!”
“haha. As a guest… … .”
The old man closed the book and slowly rose from his seat.
The girl chattered at the old man.
“Paissy!”
“What a big deal.”
“huh! long ti no see! Is this the second ti I’m seeing you?”
The renegade Pycy.
Her modifier, defector, did not simply an betrayal, but contained various anings.
“Let’s go out first.”
“huh! I told you to wait at the door for a bit!”
The old man smiled unconsciously at the look in the girl’s eyes, as if he hadn’t done well.
“Good job. After all, this is our Luna.”
“Hi-Hi.”
The two then slowly walked down the hallway to the entrance of this huge mansion.
The place where they live is Mist Island, which is said to be one of the demonic landscapes.
A haze of mana covered the entire island and even the surrounding waters.
“I’m sorry to see you alive.”
The voice of a woman called Pacey ca from the haze.
The old man, Morn Dwalski, was at the door and pointed inside the mansion.
“Let’s co in and talk.”
“Unlike you, you have a sense.”
Pissy approached with the hood attached to her robe pressed down deeply.
Luna was looking at it with admiration.
“I didn’t know you were living with this kid.”
“haha. It’s been a while. Anyway, I’m curious about why you ca here.”
Once inside, they headed for the drawing room.
However, upon seeing the scenery of the drawing room, Paisy tilted her head and looked around.
“There is nothing.”
“I’ve been preparing to move for a while.”
“move?”
“Because I have a place to stay. I was lucky in my old age.”
“I don’t think it’s too bad here either.”
“Since I’m old, I want to be crowded with people.”
Paisy sat down and snorted at Morne sitting across from him.
“Old, old. When I see you say things that don’t make sense.”
“What do you an by soone of the sa age as Jester?”
“That makes it even funnier. Even I, who is older than you, won’t change at all, so can you do that already?”
While talking, Pissy looked at Luna, who was sitting right next to her.
Luna continued to stare at Pycey, wondering what was so strange.
“What’s so funny, kid?”
“The renegade Pysh. amazing.”
“Are you stupid?”
“no. I am a genius.”
Morne, who was watching their conversation, knocked on the table.
“Now, let’s listen to the business that has co this far.”
“Zefar Order Shahi Shamad Sin Lucifer Family.”
The nas of the organizations that ca out of Paish’s mouth were unknown to the general public.
Despite her words, Morn just waited quietly.
“And the Trouban Islands Kinein rcenaries are also on the move.”
“haha. Say goodbye.”
“that’s right. Say it.”
She looked out the window and looked up at the sky.
pitch-black sky. The solar eclipse that suddenly started at one point had already been going on for a month.
“Confusion is also an opportunity.”
“Did you co here to tell Nobu about that good opportunity?”
“Don’t pretend. Because I know you’ve been plotting things lately.”
One of Pissy’s eyes hidden inside the hood shone sharply.
And Luna, who was watching from the side, once again oh oh oh! he shouted.
“You’re making things up. I’m just thinking about how to spend the rest of my life.”
“I heard a rumor that the Bone Dragon appeared at the ti the Empire was at war with the North.”
Paisy said that and was silent as if questioning a stranger.
But Morn just smiled leisurely and shut his mouth as if he had sothing to say.
“ha. It doesn’t matter if you don’t open your mouth. After all, the skilled person who can command that level of undead is fixed anyway. It’s not like I’m particularly greedy for the dragon I saw.”
“haha.”
Paisy shrugged his shoulders and soon told his real business.
“The signs of God have been revealed. But it’s a little big to eat alone.”
“It looks like the guys just listed are also involved?”
Paisy nodded at Morne’s words.
After thinking for a mont, Morne smiled smirkingly.
“There must be a reason why you, who used to go around alone like a single-minded general, ca here like this. I appreciate the offer, but I will decline.”
“… … It’s not just a sign of God. The remains have been found.”
“Hoo. That would be even more dangerous. Are you intending to use us as bait?”
“Am I so unreliable?”
He lowered his voice as if he didn’t like Pyce.
At the sa ti, gloomy mana began to float beside her.
It looked quite nacing, but Morne did not fall for such shallow waters.
“If you want to make a deal with Pissy, you’ll have to make a more concrete offer than that kind of bullshit.”
“Ah, what a dog. you were always like this You son of a bitch.”
“Do either the dog or the snake.”
Paishi’s mana was quickly dissipated.
Then he sighed and got up from his seat.
“I hired the Kinane rcenaries. Is this enough?”
“Ohh. Hiding that fact must have ant hitting the back with rcenaries at any ti.”
“No way. So do you want to do it or not?”
“What about distribution?”
“7 to 3. You made a lot of concessions. As far as sharing location and information, everything I know.”
Morn paused for a mont.
I could have accepted the offer right away, but I needed to be careful as the matter was big.
“grandfather.”
“hmm?”
“Adrias was looking for sothing to do with God.”
“Um… … .”
Luna’s words deepened Morn’s worries.
Paisy was interested in the sudden ntion of the na Adrias.
“Co to think of it, I heard you grew old and handed over the heir to that Adriason or sothing?”
“It did.”
I don’t know what to do.
However, it was rather Luna who objected to those words.
“Adrias is great! Grandpa is not senile!”
“Hmm?”
“Adrias is a god!”
Paisy turned her gaze to Morne, gesturing that she couldn’t be bothered to listen.
But Luna’s words were not over.
“Adrias will beco a god.”
Opal-colored eyes created a strange atmosphere.
However, Paisy and Morne did not notice the sign and continued the conversation ignoring it.
“Okay. How about a ratio of 4 instead?”
“Don’t talk nonsense.”
“Huh. That’s bullshit. Do you know how easy it is to use the power of the assembly?”
“Thirty five.”
“40%.”
“Thirty six.”
“Do it with that.”
Paisy felt that sothing had been done, but it went well.
“Then I’ll let you know the detailed schedule and information later. I an, this one isn’t ready yet. Prepare yourself in advance.”
“Okay. Oh, I have sothing to tell you.”
“What.”
“As I said, we are moving, so even if we send people here, no one will be there.”
“Then where should I send it?”
“Imperial Cromwell’s estate.”
It’s Cromwell… … .
Paisy had no idea what the old man was up to.
There’s really no way to make a young man nad Adrias Cromwell his successor.
Could it be that Adrias is already a puppet?
“okay.”
Paisy nodded and prepared to leave.
Luna clung to her as she was about to leave.
“I’ll see you off.”
“Do whatever you want, fool.”
“I said I was a genius! I said it before! Are you an idiot?”
Pycy, who left the mansion with the chattering Luna at her side, sensed sothing was wrong.
And that seed to be the case with Luna as well, as she suddenly looked up at the sky and shouted.
“It’s the sun!”
“I don’t know the real English.”
The eclipse was clearing.
* * *
When I ca back to my senses, I was lying in bed.
The first thought that ca to my mind was the question of how he survived.
Soon, the thoughts reared their heads and turned to Garnet.
“Turn it off.”
No words ca out.
However, Vivian, who was next to her, must have heard the sound and quickly recognized it.
“Adrias!”
When she saw waking up, she shed tears.
In the battle with Hwasin, he was forced to leave her here, and he felt sorry for him.
“Ugh.”
“Drink so water first.”
Vivian gave water with a trembling hand.
The pitiful vibration transmitted to my lips made my heart ache even more.
“I’m glad you’re alive.”
Vivian finally burst into tears and grabbed my hand.
Sothing bittersweet yet warm feelings rose.
“The only people who survived were Namgung Il-yeong, Diane Cha Gang-zer, and two people from Jungwon.”
After so ti, she cald down a bit and imdiately inford of the news, as if she had read my mind.
“Mirva lived too. But Garnet… … .”
“go… … four.”
“There was a little problem.”
is it because of
I felt remorse.
“I must have overused technology.”
I could already guess enough from those words.
My last mory was of Garnet treating .
Even if you use only one, you have repeatedly used a special technique that goes back and forth.
If you don’t die, that’s a more unrealistic situation.
However, there were reasons for its use.
‘The future is alive.’
I don’t know how far into the future it is, but Diene from the future said that I had sent her.
The story is that I passed this place safely.
I accepted it as if I had survived no matter what I did.
but.
‘It was because of Garnet’s sacrifice that he survived.’
Anger welled up.
Why didn’t the future say anything?
If I’d known Garnett was going to be like this, I… … .
“ha… … .”
… … If I had known, I would have been killed by the incarnation without using anger and greed at the sa ti.
In the end, the future made a cool and rational judgnt.
I tried to calm my bitter heart.
I got rid of the incarnation, but as long as I haven’t escaped the tower, it’s not over yet.
Vivian left for a while, saying she was calling soone.
Tring!
As she left, a ssage flashed in the corner of her field of vision.
This is not a ssage from the tower, but a ssage from .
I couldn’t even move my body, so I turned on the ssage with the feeling of checking it out.
[‘Achievent: Hunt Incarnation’ has been achieved.]
[Special benefits are granted.]
This was an achievent I hadn’t seen in the ga.
Later, several incarnations appear and most of them are captured, but why are there achievents that did not exist then… … .
‘Isn’t that treated as a real incarnation?’
What I caught this ti was an incarnation of a transcendent who descended directly into the present world.
Literally killing the transcendent.
It seed that he was a different handler than the incarnation in the ga where he borrowed a human body.
[Do you want to check the perks?]
Anyway, the reward for achieving the achievent is a random attribute.
I imdiately checked the perks.
[The contents of the privilege are changed due to the incredible performance.]
What?
suddenly?
[You have acquired 1 free distribution point.]
Free distribution points?
Anyway, this world is different from the ga, only things I don’t know co out.
I imdiately read the description of free distribution points.
[Free Distribution Points—Upgrades one trait of your choice. Please note that the direction of the upgrade is random and may sotis change in an unwanted direction.]
‘Not bad.’
It was an unexpected reward.
At least, I liked it because it seed much more useful than random properties.
‘I’ll have to leave it for now.’
Since the point wasn’t going anywhere, I decided to spend so ti thinking about it, and I wanted to restore my body first.
What I wanted right now was to look at Garnet’s condition, not these points.
If I guessed right, Garnet would have beco an emotionless doll.
“Fuck.”
… … I was still lacking
I knew that not losing anything was rather impossible, but I was greedy.
I wanted to protect at least the people by my side.
[“It was great.”]
“Great.”
The sudden shock stopped breathing.
[“ha ha ha. Are you dying just like this? It’s insignificant for getting rid of the pursuers.”]
The Whisperer.
he ca to
Are you trying to kill now?
[“Killing. Such boring sounds.”]
The whisperer seed to be observing .
After so ti, he revealed his purpose for coming.
[“This tower was a tower for pursuers. I designed it to give him endless hope.”]
Co to think of it, that’s it.
Then, is there no reason to keep the tower anymore?
[“no. I intend to leave this place alone for the ti being. Even if it’s for a while, it’s going to be quite a long ti if you count it as the ti of a creature like you.”]
‘What do you want to say?’
[“I’m here to give you a reward.”]
Reward?
It was a word without context, but I listened to it in silence for now.
[“No context. This tower is a place where rewards are given to those who overco ordeals. You, the child who embraced the observer, have successfully overco the ordeal. You have also overco the ordeal of death.”]
The whisperer seed to see through the key to my greed.
It just felt natural.
[“Here, child of the observer.”]
I could feel the whisperer’s hollow smile.
[“What is your wish?”]
