The Barbarian Became a Necromancer

053.

The original destination was the dwarf’s underground workshop.

But it wasn’t hidden somewhere in an abandoned mine.

“… Is this one of the rumored underground kingdoms of the Dwarves?”

“In that city, there is an underground workshop that was our original destination.”

Tom touched his sword bottle and swallowed a sigh.

“I thought it was just a matter of destroying one space. It’s true that you have to go through a city… It is difficult.”

“Shouldn’t I still do it?”

“Yes. I have to. If it is not this opportunity, you never know when another opportunity will come.”

Thinking of someone, Tom’s eyes moistened.

On the contrary, he was firm in his actions, and he stood in front of everyone.

Then he recited exactly what I said.

“I’ve been watching you since before, but I think he’s too immature to be the leader of the expedition.”

“Isn’t it too easy to judge people?”

Insensitivity is the problem.

In such a safe situation, it is difficult for anyone to notice if someone approaches.

“I will take it as a compliment. I have a good eye for it. Mr. Lokram.”

“Who the hell is Lokram?”

“Isn’t it real?”

“Even if you say no, I don’t think it’s rude to not change your attitude.”

“Um, that can’t be… .”

He took his eyes off the confused woman.

That woman is seeing me for the first time.

How much did Persie tell me about me?

Even though it was a first-time meeting, the answer came out if you looked for it.

‘No matter what happened, I’m going to get rid of it.’

The woman held out her hand abruptly, perhaps making up her mind.

One eyebrow twitched as I was staring at it.

“Rika. As you can see, I am the leader of the silver choir. You made a statement with the expedition leader over there, did you still have it with that side?”

“It’s Locke.”

“What is your rank?”

“Captain. A temporary mercenary.”

“Hmm, is that a setting? .”

I still have no doubts

I feel like I have an annoying hump.

“Well, good. Mr. Locke. Good luck with this exploration. I get results, and you get what you want. Aren’t they nice to each other?”

“Only keep the blessings properly. The rest will be done by the expedition team.”

“Be strong too.”

She waved the bell she had hung from her waist.

A clear sound spreads.

A choir gathered in front of her.

“Are you going to enter soon?”

“It should be.”

Tom also joined the side after talking.

A total of 52 members of the expedition team.

It is made up of only the most necessary and important people.

Leaving them behind, I put my hand on the tightly closed door.

‘Process it before Windows and exit.’

When I investigated this place the other day, I sensed magic besides black magic.

It was easy to figure out that it belonged to the Knights and Priests under Windor.

Yes, it was because the aura and magic that disintegrated dark magic showed similar properties to the knights stationed in the city.

So it was an established fact that Windor was tracking the warlock.

So, prepare for a quick exploration.

I cast black magic through my hand on the door.

Because of the person wrapped in a veil, it will look like they only raised their hands in their eyes.

‘The pattern is simple. It just feels like a complicated twist. The exact clues were physically damaged and hidden.’

It was the reason why the sailors who came here first turned their feet.

I can break it easily.

It’s because it was enough to solve it in reverse order.

Chunk! Chunk!

“The seal on the door is unlocked.”

“How did you solve something that doesn’t seem to have an answer?”

I returned to my seat, receiving their gazes of admiration and doubt.

Tom stood next to him, staring through the slowly opening door and swallowing dryly.

“Can I do well?”

“If you do as I say.”

“However, variables always exist. Even now, the main focus is exploring the city, not the studio.”

“Still nothing changes. Secure the artifact and gold and silver treasure and return. Just focus on that.”

“Whoa, yes. Then enter!”

The Pathfinders waiting for Tom’s cry were shot forward.

After 15 minutes they will come back asking for useful information.

The terrain here, what to watch out for, and even the dangers you don’t know.

In the meantime, the expedition team had to move forward while tidying up the surroundings.

“and… .”

“This is the underground city left by the dwarves.”

The moment you step through the door, you will see a unique view.

I swallowed my exclamation and looked around.

Luminous stones embedded in the ceiling twinkle like stars in the night sky.

That alone brightened the surroundings.

It was used as a substitute for sunlight, and there was a forest around it.

“The structure of the city is amazing.”

“It must have been made to accommodate a large number of people in a small space.”

I accepted Tom’s words and looked at the buildings rising through the forest.

High-rise buildings large and small.

Why do modern architectural styles come to mind?

‘The dwarves’ construction skills are amazing.’

Humans on the ground only carve stones and trees to build castles and buildings on the lower floors.

They seemed to be centuries ahead of their technological prowess.

‘It might turn into an aspect of street fighting when fighting a warlock.’

It fights through the upper and lower floors of the building.

I had never imagined a battle like this.

Thinking about how to respond in advance, I focused on the magic response.

If you get even a little bit of dark magic, you have to track it down.

‘Hmm, I can’t feel anything.’

“Mr. Locke. Do you think the blessings are over?”

“hmm?”

Rika started talking to me while I was searching hard.

She was pointing at the necklace around my neck.

The bright light certainly faded.

“You have to recharge your blessings in advance. They say there is no cure if you fall under the curse of darkness and darkness.”

Rika was right.

The curse of the demon king cannot be cured, so prevention is important.

That’s why I had to check the blessing equipment more thoroughly from time to time.

‘This is no different from an oxygen cylinder for divers.’

The underground search was like that.

Defying the curse and descending into darkness for the sake of family revival and one’s own goals.

Will the devil’s curse work on me?

‘There’s no need to experiment.’

Putting aside my curiosity, I tried to take off the necklace.

Then, Rika was startled and shook her hand.

“Stay as you are. Because the quality of the blessing equipment is low, the curse can dwell in the body.”

“Then how are you going to charge it?”

“Like this.”

Reach out your hand first.

Before he had time to escape, Rika’s palm covered the necklace.

Soon, a warm energy flows.

Rika tilted her head while feeling the divine power filling up her equipment.

“It is strange. You can see how much divine power is consumed with the naked eye, right? But I can’t feel it. Is it Mr. Locke’s ability?”

Are you talking about the one wrapped in a veil?

I stayed silent.

Rika pursed her lips, as if the reaction was not funny.

“You are silent. Mr. Persido Locram grumbled so much about being speechless.”

“Why are you talking about that to me?”

“Isn’t that better than quiet?”

“It is in the middle of the curse. It’s a situation where you don’t know what kind of threat there may be. It’s not easy.”

“Ah, everything is prepared.”

Just as she said, a translucent veil was surrounding it.

I wasn’t conscious of it, so it was late to figure it out.

It is a secret guardian.

If the enemy tries to infiltrate, block it immediately.

“how is it? Do you think I didn’t prepare anything for being frivolous?”

“… Please charge me.”

“hehehe, Mr. Lokram also said he would try to change the subject if he feels embarrassed. Are you similar?”

I know my character so well that I didn’t even know.

This capable fellow seemed certain that I was Lokram.

I’ll have to devise a way to keep that mouth shut before I go back.

That way, even if I meet Percy later, he won’t tell me the story of how he met me.

‘Ehh, it’s my arm.’

When charging is complete, he smiles brightly.

Rika’s face was not visible.

It was because the hair stood on end due to the mighty magic power that transcended all senses.

‘what?’

It’s not black magic.

However, it was neither an aura nor a divine power.

Pure magic that I feel for the first time.

It was pouring out from beyond the building forest.

“Why are you like that?”

“Nothing.”

It was the birth of a magical power that no one in this place had ever felt.

What the hell touched that power?

‘Degris. Check it out and come.’

Degris, summoned from the ground, received the command and moved.

Now, in the meantime, let’s try to supply and demand artifacts.

“The Pathfinders are back! I came to know the studio location!”

Tom’s good news resumed the advance again.

***

gigg. Geek.

A creepy sound echoes through the huge building.

Noise breaking the silence.

The inside of the building was full of coffins.

Those coffins shattered as if welcoming someone.

It wasn’t the Dwarf who built this place who showed up soon after.

skimpy. a joke.

metal interlocks

Every time I moved my arms and legs, metal hit my ears.

The iron frame, which looks bony but solid, maneuvers smoothly.

A red light flashed from the body the size of a small box.

Finally, the top of the body.

The metal head of the dwarf, featuring a hooked nose and pointed ears, turned.

Dozens of iron golems.

They were only looking at one being on the street.

“Are all the dwarves gone and only you left?”

thud. thud.

The man, Windor, reached out as he watched the dwarf golems rapidly approaching.

“Each one of them has powerful magic. But it is strange.”

from right to left.

Suddenly, he clenched his fist with his outstretched hand.

“Why can’t I feel the dark magic?”

Quadruped!

The heads of the golems were simultaneously crushed.

The condensed wind blows violently here and there.

Still, the golem moved.

The red light attached to the body emitted a blazing light.

“As expected, if the power source is healthy, it will attack like a dog.”

Windor stabbing the air with only his sword drawn.

A hole is pierced through the body with a single stab.

With that, the golems that lost their power source collapsed.

Windor, who finished organizing in an instant, crossed his arms and tilted his head.

“If you look at her magic level, she’s on the level of a 5th to 6th circle wizard. But why are you so weak?”

It is an underground city that I finally entered after finding a detour.

However, the enemy he faced was not an undead Dwarf.

“It seems like magic is trying to suppress something inside… .”

Windor examined the distorted head closely.

The magic stone that the head was holding caught my eye.

It lit up in a purple light and then slowly lost its light.

Its appearance seemed to represent complete death.

“Windor-sama! Are you okay?”

“Uh, you guys?”

“There is no damage here either. Contrary to my worries, the iron golems are weak.”

“I’m glad you’re okay. Whoa, that’s the hardest thing to do. let’s move on What is the tracking route?”

Windor was fixing the ring on her ring finger.

His hand stopped at the knight commander’s report that followed.

“that is… Gone.”

“Dark magic disappeared?”

Seeing Windor’s dumbfounded expression, the knight commander lowered his head.

“I’m sorry!”

“That’s as far as apologizing. If this is the case, there is no difference. let’s go separately Don’t forget to set off a flare when you spot it.”

“Mr. Windor. don’t… ah.”

Despite his urgent dissuade, Windor did not stop.

Seeing the vacant seat he had disappeared before he knew it, he only let out a shriek.

No one was there to block the wind.
