The Barbarian Became a Necromancer

Chapter 16

016.

The Traz Mountains are rugged.

I was experiencing this firsthand.

‘Why are they building a historic site in a place like this?’

If you walk dozens of steps, you run out of breath.

It’s a pity that he kept the two-handed ax in his inventory, he couldn’t even climb it if he carried it.

While cursing the man who built the ruins here, I remembered a conversation I had with members of the Golden Libra.

‘Well, I’ve never seen a purple tree in my life?’

‘Petran is right. I saw it too.’

‘that’s right. Here, Renfel is the witness. That strange tree is so dirty that it becomes a milestone.’

‘If you go to the other side of the flaw in the tree, you will find a ruin.’

‘Are you coming? I believe it will come. Mr. Lokram.’

Information about Petran and Renfel that I was able to get thanks to my reputation.

Even if I knew, there was no way to go.

I vaguely thought it was an episode that continued from Aden Saga 2.

‘If you think about it, I’m going to do an episode of Aden Saga 2.’

I got out of my mind and smiled.

It’s like going to a place where you don’t know what traps and monsters will lurk in order to become stronger.

I even had to catch a necromancer nearby, so I hoped that this weakling body would endure a little longer.

‘Purple, purple trees…’ .’

It was easy to find the purple tree Petran had told me about.

It was thanks to the Simmanis who paved the way for the Necromancer to begin.

Even if there is a fork in the road, the choice does not change.

However, I could feel the change.

‘Dark magic.’

I could feel the remnants of a secret magical power.

Visualized through mental power, it lay shallow on the floor.

The resulting thick fog signaled the seriousness of the situation.

‘It starts here. This is it.’

Those who entered the Traz Mountains were able to survive because they did not choose this side of the fork in the road.

To that extent, the intentions of the dark magic were impure.

‘Is there confusion in welcome. He’s subtly guiding me in the direction.’

Even necromancers would know that mercenaries and adventurers were being put in to solve what they had done.

Still, there must be a reason to stick with it.

‘Is it because of the ruins?’

However, the entrance to the ruins is guarded by members of the Golden Scale.

Even the successors or successors of the necromancers he faced at the academy were holding on to beings that were difficult to deal with.

‘Maybe it’s finding a detour to the ruins.’

Other than that, it could be that I’m doing this to get something else that I don’t know about.

The problem is that I am walking into this limb.

I should be nervous from now on.

First of all, you need to set up the degreasers.

“come out.”

Two reinforced Degrease from your inventory.

They honored my will.

It quickly digs a tunnel and disappears.

Soon, the weeds are pushed out and the nerve cord is raised.

It was a sensor that would protect me from unmarked threats.

I was relieved that it was updated every time I took a step.

I left the map open and followed the dark magic.

A few hours to climb and rest on the winding mountain road.

It was then that the red and blue dots were drawn on the map.

‘A hostile enemy and a neutral being.’

Recalling the meaning of each color, I headed towards it.

Of course, I have no intention of helping.

What would be the benefit of helping while taking the risk of revealing dark magic?

Through this fog, the contacts won’t even be able to keep an eye on you, so let’s stop acting like heroes for a while.

He approached while hiding himself in a dense bush.

The battlefield soon revealed was a mess.

Blood and flesh splattered everywhere.

It was full of corpses with both eyes wide open.

“Build a circle!”

“Wake! The moment you break through, you die!”

Goseong came and went in the center of the rough land that was hardened by fierce battles.

A group of people were encouraging each other and correcting their weapons.

The undead surrounded them, and it wasn’t just the undead.

‘Ragged Golem in the Scourge. There’s been a lot of uproar.’

It must be an attack by a necromancer.

It’s an example to gauge his level.

To use an undead at the level of a 5th circle wizard in an undetectable place.

‘At least 6 circles.’

I spurred on the analysis.

“evil! Aagh!”

Even the strong men who had passed the Knight Commander’s test were helpless in front of the powerful undead hordes.

When the abominable golem opens a gap, the Scourge rushes in.

A higher entity than Acid Bomber, it caused a merciless explosion.

The result of the explosion in the solid defense was clear.

‘It’s bloody.’

He licked his tongue as he watched the rain of blood and pieces of meat scattered in all directions.

Contrary to his calm mind, his heart was pulsating with surprise.

Still, the comprehension is over.

‘I don’t think it’s like giving orders to each entity.’

I glanced down at the clot of blood that reached my feet.

It was emitting faint smoke.

‘The undead have strong acid.’

All undead were like that.

Otherwise, some of the corpses would not have been burned.

‘It’s a pity that I haven’t seen necromancy or black magic.’

Still, it was a good harvest.

Because I knew the characteristics of the undead and the level of a necromancer.

Kruck.

Ki-Hit. hee hee hee

As if they had finished their work, they saw the undead carrying the burdens of humans and going back.

I followed them carefully.

I guess I have to go to the historical site a second time.

***

“Petran.”

“… … .”

“Petran!”

His shoulders narrowed at the screams filled with anger.

Petran couldn’t lift his head.

Now he was in a situation where he had nothing to say even if he had ten mouths.

“The supply team is out of contact again. Are you doing your job just because you were demoted to a supply manager?”

“that… no.”

“or not! Shouldn’t we make regular contact or find out the cause!”

Petran only slightly raised his eyes.

I saw Maximoff, the vice-captain of the Golden Scale.

He, who was selected as the manager of the site, regarded Petran’s late return after visiting Glaven as an aberration and demoted him to the position of supply chief.

It’s a pleasure to be in a position where I was almost killed by Lokram, the object of my longing.

so i worked hard I did… .

‘What if I make multiple tangent points! I’m losing contact right away!’

The culprit knows.

Because it all started when the mountains were foggy.

“First of all, I put a request to solve the case in several mercenary guilds. I also put a message in Alcardo’s White Horse Tower for fog analysis.”

“Do you know that I called you to listen to the preparation process for resolving the cause?”

I lowered my barely raised eyes.

It was because Maximoff’s typified momentum pressed Petran’s shoulders.

“The supply group that procures convenience and food for us has already gone missing. The investigation of the ruins has been so sluggish, and the cause is still unknown. As a member of the Golden Scale, which works for the safety and prosperity of the citizens, we must prevent further damage.”

Know.

Petran also had a chimney-like desire to stop the cause as soon as possible.

But I don’t know the cause, so what can I do?

The number of times he searched the Traz Mountains was already beyond counting with both hands.

However, it was impossible to ask Maximoff for help.

This is because the moment he vacates his seat, the maximum power responsible for the safety of the ruins investigation team disappears.

In conclusion, I had to do it again.

Because it was an opportunity to calm his anger and restore his conscience.

“We will definitely solve it this time.”

“I’ll attach Renfel.”

“Renfell… Are you talking?”

“That’s why you know that solving this issue takes precedence over the interpretation of the ancient magic in the ruins.”

“I will definitely solve it even at the cost of my life.”

“I don’t want to lose you because of that. So stay safe, do your best, unconditionally.”

solve it and come back

At his last word, Petran made up his mind.

As I left the camp, I heard a familiar voice next to me.

“You only got me after a breakdown.”

“Renfell. Were you listening?”

“I heard you. Even the part where you make awkward excuses.”

“Do you think it will be different if you face the vice-captain?”

Renfel, with messy brown hair, shrugged.

“Unlike you, I think I’ll stick with the apple first?”

“Can’t you do something with words?”

Petran tapped him on the shoulder.

“Let’s go, because there are about five suspicious points.”

“My interpretation magic is expensive to borrow, is that okay?”

“I’ll put it on credit for now.”

Renfel smiled and followed Petran, who was leading the way.

***

Usually, there are two places that come to mind when thinking of warlocks or necromancers.

Deep in a dark cave or underground in a city.

The bottom line is a damp, smelly, dark place.

isn’t that the case here?

I looked at the architecture in front of me.

It was the result of reaching through the same magic that concealed the Dark Street the other day.

‘How did you make this place?’

Around the Black Spire was a wide plain.

It was a landscape that did not go well with the sloping mountains.

The undead scattered around it took their own positions and entered a dormant state.

‘There is a reason why no one has been able to solve the case so far.’

It was the same with the concealment magic that penetrated earlier.

Because it was the result of the 7th Circle Archmage.

It’s a low level to think that it was made by a guy who settled here.

So it would be correct to say that he took his place in the place that the Archmage created.

‘Is securing an access road a priority?’

He glanced around with low, sunken eyes.

No matter what happens, you can’t avoid a clash.

If so, wouldn’t it be better to reduce the number in advance?

‘Degrease, take care of those far away first.’

What needs to be considered is that the necromancer has to be stealthy so that the disappearance of the undead is not noticed.

With Invisible Undying, Degrease’s dark magic and appearance were changed to the form of a monster.

After that, when I spread my fingers, black magic rose up.

I fill the place of the undead that Degris took to the ground with my black magic.

The thread of black magic that connected the necromancer and the undead was replaced with mine.

It’s so perfect that it’s hard for him to notice, and it’s close to divine.

It was a technique that only those with SSS-level mental strength could do.

‘I’ll find out sooner or later.’

It is only a temporary measure anyway.

The undead will follow the Necromancer’s will, and if they do not follow it, they will feel a sense of alienation from the quiet black magic.

It was enough for me to reduce the number as much as possible before that.

Fu hook! hooked!

Cleanup work started slowly from the outskirts.

Degris, who smoothly dragged the undead underground, steadily reduced their numbers to match my support.

The name is a high-level monster.

In terms of level, it was an easy opponent if you dragged the ragged golems that stayed in the intermediate level to the ground that was advantageous to Degris.

While he was steadily reducing the number, something happened to the spire.

“What kind of guy are you?”

did you finally figure it out

The spire vibrates finely.

The spreading black magic was quite strong.

Still, it was within the assumptions.

If I had to hide myself, he would recognize my existence through black magic.

It was about time to meet him.

“I am the hero who killed the master of arcane magic you inherited.”

When I left my inventory open and finished answering, the guy coming out of the spire caught my eye.

The moment I saw him, I couldn’t help but be immersed in confusion.

“An invincible warrior. Was it you?”
