The Barbarian Became a Necromancer

081.

It was a day of bone-crushing training.

Days when the skin bursts and the muscles burst.

It was the time when I was grinding blood-soaked bandages.

Even if you knew you had talent, it was difficult to survive in Adele Academy, which was full of monsters.

Efforts are required to support talent.

So Callan behaved ignorantly to make up for his lack of effort.

Complicated weighing and measuring things didn’t suit my temper.

do it once

Even if it is your future self who will take care of it, let’s not regret it.

Fortunately, I was lucky to live up to that motto.

If it wasn’t for that, I wouldn’t have been able to get to the second seat.

A place of harmony among the academies that can participate without any rumors.

It was a place where the ranks of the academy were put together while the candidates were fighting against each other.

We met there.

The representative of Cain Academy, Lokram.

A candidate who was called undefeated, who firmly defended his place from the many demons who aimed at the academy.

Callan ignored him.

All academies and schools are wary of the demon king’s attack.

Of course, he also had a history of preventing attacks.

That’s great too.

So I thought his rumors were inflated.

‘Can you stop the hundreds of undead that the necromancer is working on alone? Destroying the magic circle of the Archmage alone? I have to say something that makes sense.’

It’s just an exaggerated story by cowards who weren’t there to show off their alma mater.

Lokram faced while dismissing it like that… It was a wall.

It’s different from the wall you broke and jumped over.

A huge, thick wall that seemed to have been carved out of Mount Tai.

Callan couldn’t get over it.

Rather, only the body that was bumped into was miserably broken and had to be taken care of in a hospital room.

Yes, just like now.

“Turn it off… .”

“are you okay?”

It’s scary to come to my senses, it’s my brother’s voice next to me.

He struggled to open his eyes as if he was enduring the pain like himself.

Even this is not open, only the left eye is half-open.

Still looked around.

“It’s a hospital room.”

“I moved.”

“Are you okay?”

“Do you look okay? What is this condition?”

A high-pitched voice hits your ears.

Raella held out her hand in front of his faint eyes.

The pointy fingernails she cherished were not visible on her hands wrapped in bandages.

It seemed like everything was broken.

“It’s a second-degree statue. A white-faced warrior. That damn b*tch made this If it was a little late, I had to cut it out.”

“under… Wasn’t he also a mid-level hero like us? But are you pushed that far?”

“I’m not anywhere else, I’m a graduate of Cain Academy. There is no way the skills are the same just because the class is the same?”

Callan kept his mouth shut.

A terrifying throbbing pain before waking up.

I can’t remember how I was subdued.

Only one thing comes to mind.

‘That fist.’

It was a place he could not reach no matter how hard he tried.

The fastest and shortest power draws an ideal trajectory, and the feeling when it touches the face is vivid.

I raised my hand and looked around to see that my face was fixed with thick bandages and splints.

“ha… Oppa, they say we can’t move for four days.”

“what?”

Callan’s hand stopped.

“In this state, escort or anything is impossible.”

“sh*t.”

I expected it, but is it like this?

Callan swallowed the sigh that was about to escape.

Then, he calmed down his emotions.

“Let’s focus on recovery for now.”

“what? Is there such an idle sound now? I can’t get the rest of the commission! Should I just not receive it? According to the contract, you have to return half of the down payment already received!”

Raella was indignant.

It was worth it.

It was Kalan who attacked Lokram out of anger.

It’s like she intervened to help her brother, so if he had held back his anger, this kind of madness wouldn’t have happened.

“Your reputation will go down! Ha ha, how did you build it up? .”

“La Ella.”

Raella, who grumbled, closed her mouth.

He always spoke lightly, far from being serious.

But in just one instance, he showed such frightening tenacity as he does now.

“You can throw away all that stuff.”

Callan’s barely opened eyes twinkled as if he had found a clue to his growth, which had been blocked for so long.

“Lokram. You have to see that bastard again. Can you help me?”

“What… hahahaha, control your emotions well. Instead, I won’t help you even if you run at me like a mad dog this time.”

“thanks.”

“If you’re thankful, don’t die. Is there anywhere else in the world we can turn to other than each other? My sister is telling me, but please take care of yourself.”

“I will.”

After saying that, Callan closed her eyes.

I have a goal right now, so I focus on it.

Work on recovery through aura breathing.

Looking at him like that, Raella also started to focus on recovery while kicking his tongue.

***

Callan. An intermediate warrior of the martial arts type who uses two fists as a weapon.

He said I was crushed in the game.

It was because of the achievement of finishing the arena of harmony with first place without getting hit.

When we met again, he seemed stronger than before.

There is an overwhelming difference between the monitor and the reality, but the proof is that the aura that determines growth has become stronger.

Fortunately, the results were good.

I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t dangerous though.

‘I can’t believe he’ll react in that instant.’

Overwhelming speed given to a body that has become a C-class stat.

The brain light technique that was expressed through this was a blow that was difficult for even an intermediate martial warrior to react to.

Since it was fed precisely to the empty jaw captured by the true eye, it is impossible not to come without a concussion.

But Callan tried articulation even while he was unconscious.

I didn’t do it consciously.

After thousands or maybe tens of thousands of repetitions, an instinctive defense mechanism etched into the body.

He is a so-called genius as he is an intermediate warrior.

He is also a genius who has instilled endless efforts into his body.

The person who became the fuel was none other than me.

‘Am I a hard-working genius?’

I didn’t know that what I did in the game for the purpose of achievement would come back like this with a butterfly effect.

Well, playing Aden Saga wasn’t just a good influence.

‘I need to sort out how many more Eun-Won relationships exist besides Callan.’

I made a promise and opened my eyes.

In front of me, an old man was restless.

Whoever sees it, I am in a position of power.

Beside her, Leah sat carefree, munching on cookies.

“… So, the mid-level heroic siblings who quarreled with me were hired as escorts for the 2nd prince, and I defeated them, so please take over the escort duty?”

The second prince’s aide nodded at my abbreviation.

“Can you do that? I promise you, nothing to worry about will happen. 2 Prince has changed. You are in the process of changing one by one in order to shake off your old self and walk the path of a true wise king.”

“We plan to announce it at this festival.”

The aide opened his eyes wide.

why are you so surprised

I said it once because the reason for doing that was obvious during the perfect period for image making.

“I will give you a level that suits your class. As you are a member of the Aden Party, which was produced by the continent’s best warrior training institution, we will set it at 30 platinum coins. How are you?”

“no.”

Leah said it, not me.

A reply without the slightest hesitation.

She swallowed the mumble and took a sip of the tea.

“My time is being taken away by kids I don’t even know.”

There is no one-sided expression.

Because we even faced each other in the arena of reconciliation.

“And I have about 30 platinum coins. Same with Lokram. right?”

That’s about it.

I stared at the aide in silence.

The cold sweat running down his temples is clear.

It seems that this is the first time a warrior has not been eaten even with too much money to refuse.

“You guys are needed. Would you please reconsider your thoughts?”

The aide finally gave up.

They must be sore about not being able to recruit us with their current numbers.

I don’t know how the 2nd prince will change if the two warriors withdraw from escort like this.

‘Is it because of the parade that I’m trying so hard to recruit warriors?’

As the National Foundation Day is a huge festival, all the royal family come out and go to the parade.

At the end, each of them will have a short speech time and step back.

It was like gathering voters with an election campaign.

Succession to the throne will happen inside the palace, but it will be the people who support the next king.

“Are you going to show off your strength by standing next to us?”

This is a world where the fist precedes the law.

People want a king who provides a safe fence.

The 2nd prince is going to take advantage of that gap.

So the initiative is still with me.

“I will change my requirements.”

The aide becomes even more polite after my words.

looked at him and spoke.

“Please open the kingdom’s treasury to us. I will take one of the items there.”

“that… !”

“I don’t think it’s over just because I was pushed out of the battle for succession. Yes?”

“hmm!”

Watching his face change in real time.

I nailed it

“Regret is something only those who have poured everything into. Think of what if you missed us. can you regret it? If it were me, I would be in despair.”

Are only the 2 princes working hard to recruit warriors?

I saw no

The 1st and 3rd princes must be working hard right now.

“… 2 I will speak through the prince. As soon as the results come out, we will send a servant to the place where you two are staying.”

“Then you can come to the White Horse Tower.”

At Leah’s words, the aide nodded with a tired face.

“All right. Then I’ll stand up first without any excuses.”

The aide goes out.

Leah looked at me.

It’s not an expression of displeasure.

The drooping corners of my eyes seemed to question my condition.

“Are you okay?”

“Does that mean you’re not in a hurry?”

“Yes, black magic erosion. You need to treat it right away.”

Currently, Leah thinks I have an incurable disease.

Let’s get along with that rhythm for now.

“That’s why I requested the opening of the treasure chest.”

“why?”

“Maybe there might be a clue to a cure.”

“aha.”

Only then do I shake my head.

Suddenly, the corners of his eyes straightened.

Leah looked at me with yearning eyes.

“Excellent, Lokram.”

“what.”

“You succeeded in negotiating with the aide serving the second prince.”

“Because it has to be done. For your future, you need to learn the art of living like me.”

“Will Lokram tell you?”

“You know I don’t have time, right?”

“It did… sorry.”

There are many things to be sorry for.

I grabbed the parlor doorknob and turned to Leah.

“Let’s go out. It’s because I haven’t toured the capital yet.”

“I know a place that sells good steaks.”

“Then let’s have dinner there.”

“good.”

Leah jumped off the couch and snuggled next to me.

Two days until the festival.

So the aide will come tomorrow with the answer.

‘I’m sure I’ll have to accept it.’

I’ve solved the underground canal case before, so the king will give it to me.

Believe me, you should spend some time.

***

“Do you know how funny it was to see everyone flustered?”

“If you act in the exact opposite way, it only raises suspicion. So, act with moderation.”

“People know that they are dogs and pigs, right? Even if you treat me well anyway, it’s obvious that the idiot will think that he’s finally come to his senses. your side? Are you doing well?”

“Heh, don’t worry because you’re getting what you paid for for your time. You look around the royal capital as you do now and focus on your preparations. Don’t forget to explode it during the parade.”

“Ah, I understand.”

Seira succeeded in infiltrating like the wind as much as that nickname.

She had no choice but to fall into shock when she arrived in pursuit of the second prince.

‘Are my eyes wrong?’

In front of Seira’s eyes, the two princes, who looked identical to the second prince, were sharing each other with great enthusiasm as if they were used to it.
