The Barbarian Became a Necromancer

030.

The muscles that were trained to the limit were like a piece of armor in and of themselves.

The dark red hair that flutters like a lion’s mane in a cool impression is flowing down to the wild taste.

If it were an ally, it would be a reassuring appearance just by looking at it.

The problem was that such a hero could easily become an enemy.

“He is a high-ranking hero and possesses such pure divine power… I mean, no one comes to mind.”

It was a murmur that did not mix with a single enemy.

But from the listener’s point of view, it felt like the string of sh*t was burning.

Let’s stay calm.

No need to panic.

You just got the means to get over this situation.

It’s even still holding up.

“Can you tell me something? I’m not sure yet. I want to hear the reason from the mouth of Sir, who took care of the black magician instead.”

“Kain Academy graduate, Lokram, welcomes Delat-nim from Gwangwan.”

“hmm? Sir Lokram?”

“That’s right.”

“Muscle is always honest. So it can’t be a lie. How’s Professor Cloud?”

“Currently, he has become a principal and is leading countless candidates to the path of a hero.”

“hahahaha! that old man He shouted that he would one day take the principal’s seat, but in the end his dream came true.”

How is the conversation going smoothly?

I felt strange that Delart’s eyes stayed on my body rather than my face, but it wasn’t a bad situation.

“I haven’t been interested in the academy for a while. Cloud I heard the news from the old man. Still, I heard rumors about him. undefeated warrior. Right?”

“This is an undeserved nickname.”

“I heard that it wasn’t excessive, but what? The thing that protected the academy from numerous threats. Thank you.”

Delart bowed his head.

He lifted his face and slapped my knee with both hands.

“Then, now that you’ve finished introducing yourself, can you tell me?”

Has it finally come?

Swallowing dry saliva, he recalled Delart’s personality.

Basically, he is more free-spirited than other heroes who are obstinate with a big-hearted personality.

Loyalty to the Empire pierces the sky.

I used to hate it when someone else interrupted a conversation.

It is a well-known anecdote that an aristocrat was seriously injured when he was having an audience with the emperor at an imperial meeting.

good. I can fool you enough

There’s still room for the magic reversal duration, right?

I had gained confidence and was about to open my mouth.

“The reason I have divine power is… .”

“It’s because of the new ability Lokram has acquired.”

A voice suddenly interrupted.

I didn’t even know it was coming because of my insensitivity.

I looked to the side.

Leah, who had calmed down before she knew it, continued.

“Lokram did nothing wrong. So don’t ask like that.”

Doesn’t he even recognize a hero?

Leah, who looked at her with an absurd face, was calm.

Now that I see it, I was right.

Because he was a guy who had been scalded by others at a young age and had no interest in anyone other than himself.

so i’m afraid

I wondered what would happen if Delart got angry and attacked Leah.

‘what.’

Now, though, I have to get angry or react to Leah’s intervention.

Delart was silent.

He was staring at me silently.

It was not difficult to understand the meaning behind that silent gaze.

He swallowed tears of blood and used magic reversal.

The result of swapping the soul of a zombie was immediate.

“and… .”

“Hoo.”

When the veiled person was released, the stronger divine power was revealed.

Using the souls of the lowest undead as fuel, the amplification of divine power was maintained for about 3 seconds.

“As you can see, I killed the warlock with this power.”

“It’s more chaste than those god-crazed bastards. Should I say it’s closer to the source… .”

Delart analyzed the divine power as if he had forgotten Leah’s rudeness.

“Have you received a revelation?”

“I was just following the oracle given to me by the god of war I serve.”

“Did the divine power sprout in the process?”

“That’s right.”

he grinned.

Leah looked back and forth between me and Delart, as if she couldn’t see through the veiled person, and just tilted her head.

“I admit that I am a hero. You are a true advanced warrior in many ways.”

I was relieved to see the complete doubt.

lived

Leah also avoided getting scolded.

I’ll tell you to be more careful later.

Because my colleague listens well.

“A force strong enough to subdue a warlock. Pure divine power seen for the first time. I’m glad that the level of advanced warriors hasn’t declined!”

Delart, who jumped to his feet, put his hand on my shoulder.

I was scolded for exerting my strength in the blatant touch to feel the itching.

“It seems like you haven’t neglected your training. Is your business here over now?”

“That’s right.”

“I stayed.”

Leah raised her hand.

Despite the two pairs of gazes, her eyes twinkled.

“Help me, Lokram.”

“Is it because of the material?”

It’s obvious why the wizard came to this rough place.

There is almost no guide who knows the fantasy realm, and even if you save it yourself, there is a risk of escape, so you must have come to save it alone.

“huh. You only need to find 4 types.”

“Help me. Previously.”

Lokram and Leah are friends as members of the Aden party.

It was a relationship that had no choice but to help.

It’s hard to play a taciturn but kind colleague, but is there anything special?

I promised help and pointed to the splinter in Delart’s grasp.

“Delart, how are you going to do that?”

“Do you know the identity of this?”

“Isn’t it a fragment of the Demon King?”

“Oh, it’s a top-secret information even in the Empire, but it’s amazing. How did know?”

“I found out while hunting warlocks.”

“Then it will be easy. idea to smash Although complete extinction is difficult, it is possible to delay the resurrection time.”

It was the first information I heard.

Is it impossible to completely annihilate the fragments?

It was certain information because it was the words of a hero, not anyone else.

But what does it mean to delay the resurrection time?

“If you break the fragments, will the demon king be resurrected later?”

“Yes, if you destroy it, it will reappear somewhere on the continent someday. We see the period as at least half a year and at most one year.”

“Are these statistics based?”

“Three times in total. Since the fragments that were broken were found on the side of the Demon King’s army after 6 months, 8 months, and 10 months, respectively, it can be regarded as a credible statistic.”

“I see you’ve been destroying fragments before in the Empire.”

“This is information that only a few people know, so don’t go anywhere and tell me. It’s because Sir’s muscles are reliable.”

Thanks, balloon muscles.

When I get back, I’ll feed you plenty of protein.

Passes!

After the explanation, Delart broke the fragments.

The result was more futile than expected.

He chinned Leah, scattering the black air currents rising between his hands.

“There woman. Are you Lokram’s girlfriend?”

“A colleague.”

“You belong to the rumored Arden Party. Take good care of that too. hmm… , I heard that you need to get materials?”

“huh.”

“If that’s the case, I’ll help you. Coincidentally, I also brought some people.”

Just then, he saw a group of people approaching behind him.

Surprised by the broken sanctuary, looked this way and was surprised twice.

I was also in a state of surprise when I saw an unexpected person.

‘Why is the lord of Glaven here?’

Well, if there are a lot of people, Leah’s gathering of materials will end quickly.

I decided to think good.

It seems that Yeong-ju, a nobleman, doesn’t like the reunion of me.

***

Gravasse was a city with well-developed slaughter facilities as many monsters from the Hwansoorim came in.

It was so large that a separate slaughter compartment was set up.

Considering the size of the monsters to be slaughtered, the section where various warehouses were lined up was enjoying an unexpected boom.

“Wait, wait! If you see a bastard cutting in line, you’ll fall behind me!”

“Hey there! Are you bragging about how much money you have? The weight you can live with is fixed anyway.”

A large warehouse that has been quiet for a while.

This is a place that is only open to slaughter monsters from the least advanced to the highest grade.

In front of the warehouse, there was no space to set foot in a long line of customers and onlookers.

What they want to buy is monster meat.

It was also the meat of Burtalif and Garpados, which were considered delicacies.

“Next guest!”

Bella, a daily part-time worker there, was quick to deal with the customers.

Even if I had to do it, I felt guilty.

Well, it wasn’t bad.

After the breakup, I had something to offer regarding Bella’s potential.

‘If I sell it today, it will all be over.’

I was convinced by the slaughter status.

I didn’t care much about the money that piled up.

Rather, it focused on being able to obtain the bones of large monsters intact.

‘I guess I won’t have to worry about it for the time being with that thing I’m going to use for this eater.’

How effective were the bones of higher-level monsters?

Degrease’s Bone was fine too, maybe it has a different effect.

While watching the monster meat shrinking like that, I looked at a cute being approaching this way.

Every time you walk, the wide brim of the cone-shaped hat flutters up and down.

A fierce face that is revealed at a glance every time.

Leah, who approached me with only me in her eyes, looked up at me.

“I am going back now.”

“Good idea.”

“But if Lokram asks us to travel with him for the time being, I am willing to help. what do you think about it?”

Is it because of hard work on reputation?

From now on, I never thought I would carry out the request to be honest like this without hesitation.

It feels like watching a robot move according to commands.

Of course I knew why.

The cold and disgusting reality that I tasted at a young age.

It’s because the time she lived with her emotions and heart closed was longer than when she was bright.

You probably want to rely on me for opening that door.

“Right now, I want you to help Aden and his colleagues who are working hard in the purple land rather than me.”

“Stop talking about Lokram?”

“How did you feel when I disappeared?”

“I wanted to go find him right away.”

“Perhaps other colleagues do too.”

“I see. OK, then. I will.”

Leah nodded.

Then he carefully looked around and approached.

Raised on tiptoe, she whispered into my shoulder, not into my ear.

“It’s okay, right?”

“Why are you asking that?”

“Lokram, you are in a state of being eroded by dark magic.”

Her body stiffened at Leah’s words.

I thought I had cleared Delart’s suspicions and avoided hers as well.

“Did you read it in the aisle as well?”

“Yeah, but now I feel anxious because I can’t feel anything. At that time, is that warm power preventing the black magic from eroding?”

“I can see that.”

No matter how gifted she was at tracking magical powers, it seemed that she could not pierce the one who was shrouded in a veil.

“Then you’re moving while hiding your dark magic?”

“okay.”

She seemed to understand.

In this era, beings who deal with black magic deserved to be summarily executed.

“I will keep it a secret. I can’t even lose Lokram.”

“To your colleagues?”

“What would you like me to do for you, Lokram?”

“I just want you to know.”

“then… .”

Magic power gathered under her feet.

Leah whispered properly in my ear only then with the fair wind that lifted her body.

“If you heal early, come back early. Understand?”

“I will.”

As expected, the vacancy of the avant-garde seems to be large.

Well, even in the game, I took the lead, withstood all the attacks and took on the decisive finish.

Perhaps the Aden Party will face all kinds of dangers.

That was the fate the protagonist of the Aden Saga had to bear.

I avoided that fate because I didn’t want to die.

Leah is suffering a lot.

Other co-workers will too.

‘I can’t do it.’

Having met like this, I was too worried to send Leah back empty-handed.

Since I’m not in the position, I need to reinforce my power.

Because all of them are talented enough to become heroes in the future.

‘Delat said he would come back in a few days. I have plenty of time to spare.’

Delart was heading to the Empire to report on the debris.

It seemed that he intended to let me know the outcome after the meeting.

Even if you run away anyway, you will be caught soon, so you have to wait.

‘As long as I’ve obtained the hero’s favor, I’m sure I’ll be able to get useful information.’

But what has Leah been doing since before?

Searching for a crossbody bag for a few minutes.

“Is there anything that doesn’t catch well?”

“huh. I made it yesterday, but it keeps running away. Oh, got it.”

What do you want to do?

What Leah brought out was something I was familiar with.

“A magic orb?”

“different. It’s explosive.”

Oh, it’s a new upgrade.

Normally, the magic orb is just a rechargeable type and is used only when replenishing the magical power of the magic circle.

Leah placed four explosive magic orbs in my hand.

“Throw it if it’s dangerous. The explosive power of the 4th circle will come out.”

“thanks.”

“It’s a colleague.”

“Then, as a colleague, I’ll give you a present too.”

“gift?”

“Are you okay today?”

“Because I made all the reagents. Relax.”

“Then let’s go to the store compartment together. I will buy equipment for you and your comrades.”

“okay.”

After that, we set an appointment time.

Having decided to meet at Gravas Square, I prepared to go to the count’s castle to rest a bit.

Delart said he would rest at the inn, so he almost forced himself into the annex, so he had no choice but to stay there.

“Lokram.”

“Tell me.”

Leah grabbed my collar as I was about to return.

She asked with a rare earnest look on her face.

I thought about it until the end, and it showed signs of talking.

“If only I knew how to fully recover from the dark magic erosion. can you let me know?”

I could guess why you asked.

Leah’s mother.

A Warlock of the 9th Circle who is now the staff of the Three Poles.

They probably think that she has been eroded by dark magic and has betrayed her mind and heart.

I also don’t know the exact background behind her betrayal.

However, what I could say to her now was decided.

“I will.”

It was an honest answer, not a lie or anything.

If you find out, surely you will.

Today’s colleagues are not graphics that move according to the commands and systems set in the game.

He is a person who thinks alone and has his own circumstances.

As much as they were beings who would give me strength more than anyone else, I thought of helping them.

Of course, you have to keep some distance.

“ah… .”

It’s just one word confirmation.

However, Leah, who felt that a ray of hope was added to an uncertain goal, felt differently.

“thank you.”

It’s because you can smile brightly with a face that has always been cold.

Looking at that smile, I decided to bury the problem about my body in reality for a while.

It’s not like there’s a solution to worry about right now.

Therefore, now was the time to focus only on defeating the demon lord.

“Bella, is the sale over?”

“Ah yes! Is there anything else you want me to do?”

“Follow me. I have something to say.”

I left the warehouse with Bella.

A piercing gaze piercing through insensitivity pierced the back of the head, but it must have been an illusion.
