Absolute Necromancer Chapter 294

Episode 294

“So what do you plan to do now?”

After finishing the meal, Hyerin, who was smiling while watching Tam patting his protruding belly, took him to the rocking chair.

The only people left at the table were Ken, who was eating late, and Jinhyuk, who had already finished eating and was waiting to talk to Ken.

In response to Jinhyuk’s question about his thoughts on the future, Ken briefly cleaned up the area around his mouth by dabbing it with a napkin and then opened his mouth.

“Puppet sometimes visits Lightning Canyon to supply me with supplies at the orders of Goldrich.”

“It’s a puppet… … “It’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time.”

“Puppet and Jinhyuk will do the same.”

Feeling a burst of laughter, Jinhyuk nodded and agreed to what he said.

puppet.

A puppeteer who is a merchant, but is more suited to the title of climber rather than merchant.

It was difficult to refute Ken’s words because it had already been over a year since I had not met him, who was almost the first person I met and someone I trusted.

“I’m still not good enough. “The power of God that resides in me is not easy to deal with, even though it is not the real thing but a degraded version.”

“… … Yeah, there’s no way the gods would have given real power to someone who wasn’t even an apostle. Well, that would be enough.”

warrant.

Even Jinhyeok, who was called Irregular and was called Chaos by the Spirit King of Light and Darkness, currently possessed only two powers.

Of course, it is a power that was created or inherited directly rather than received from God or the devil, but power is still power.

In such a situation, Ken has a total of three powers, having received one power from each of the three gods.

Normally, authority is something like a divine gift given by God to someone who becomes an apostle.

Of course, it was ridiculous to give real power to just applying acupuncture.

But no one will deny that that is enough.

“Yes, with the three power of deterioration, I have become stronger than in the past. It can be even more powerful if it is inside Lightning Canyon. Of course, compared to Jinhyuk, he stopped the bleeding quickly… … .”

“If you compare it to me, it becomes bleak, so take that out.”

“you’re right. If we leave special cases like Jinhyuk out of the discussion… … I guess I can say that I can go anywhere without getting wrinkled. However, I don’t want to be satisfied with just making a few wrinkles.”

Jinhyuk met Ken’s gaze, which was looking at him with a determined face and confident eyes, and nodded, saying he knew that would happen.

“The reason is?”

“… … “I would like to be of greater help to Jinhyuk.”

“Is it still enough?”

Ken was clearly an excellent lightning wizard and climber, as he showed that he could accept three deteriorating powers and still be able to handle them to some degree well.

But as if saying enough was not enough, Ken shook his head and denied what he said.

“At the time of the previous goblin village, it wasn’t on the list of places to head there. Haryu, Hendrick, and Choi Kyung-hoon. “Because compared to them, I fell short by a lot.”

“… … Rather, it is because, except for Choi Kyung-hoon, each person had their own purpose. “You’re not that lacking either.”

Ha Ryu, Hendrick, and Choi Kyoung-Hoon.

They were certainly great, but with the exception of Choi Kyung-hoon, they were not enough to be called overwhelming.

Of course, considering that Hendrick was escaping from the past, and that it was a time when he was getting used to a weak body along with the gap between his mind and body, it could be said that there was a big wall between Ken and Hendrick –

It wasn’t downstream.

Because he was the weakest among the beings who headed to the goblin village, he had to join forces with Jinhyeok’s pet, Miho, to barely fight the enemy two-on-one.

The reason why Ha-ryu was able to go to the goblin village was because Ha-ryu was the last remaining goblin except for Genno, nothing more or less than that.

Even though he knew that well, Ken shook his head.

“If I were overwhelmingly stronger than Ha-ryu, if I was strong enough to be comparable to Hendrick, if I was at a level that could be helpful to Choi Kyung-hoon and Jin-hyuk, would Jin-hyuk have taken me with him? Or maybe he didn’t take it?”

“… … “They must have taken him.”

The reason Jinhyuk took only a few people to the goblin village was to prevent unnecessary sacrifices.

Because victory achieved by hitting all the manpower at your disposal is meaningless.

In that respect, if Ken had shown his power as a strong ally like he said, Jinhyuk would have taken him.

It was a situation where he had to lend a hand to a cat, and Jinhyuk was not relaxed enough to leave out such a talented person.

Ken grinned at Jinhyuk’s answer, saying he knew that would happen.

“I like Lightning Canyon.”

“You have very unique tastes.”

The scenery of Lightning Canyon seen through the window of the restaurant where we ate was breathtaking.

As this is a temple at the center of Lightning Canyon, the lightning visible outside the window was so powerful and numerous that it could not even be compared to the entrance.

Ken’s words about liking that kind of lightning canyon had the nuance of a confession of a nerd’s tastes, so when Jinhyuk stuck his tongue out, Ken stiffened his face and added.

“But I also hate Lightning Canyon.”

“What a contradiction.”

“It’s a contradiction.”

I like Lightning Canyon, but I also hate it.

Samnoisin also reacted to the words, which were a contradiction in themselves.

[The God of Lightning is dumbfounded.]

[If you are the owner of Geumgangjeo, the temple will fail! shouts.]

[Do you think the temple will fail without you as the owner of Mjolnir? Yeah, screw it! shouts.]

Ken is a prospective apostle and the first person to visit the shrine of the Three Thunder Gods after many years.

Of course, Ken was a very precious being to Samreoshin.

It must be a shock to them that Ken likes and hates Lightning Canyon, which can be said to be the source of the temple.

But Ken remained calm.

“Lightning Canyon is the place that made me who I am today, but it is no different from a prison that imprisons me.”

“Voyeurs will be upset.”

“I feel sorry for them, but it’s true. I am certainly grateful that the Samnoisin helped me survive the beings sent to deal with Jinhyeok’s subordinates and guild members, and appointed me as a prospective apostle, but if I had been strong even without their help, I would have been strong in Lightning Valley. “Instead of staying inside, they would have been outside and directly eradicating them.”

“… … “That’s right.”

TOP is a world of strength against the jungle and self-respect.

And a bizarre world where the strong exist above the weak, and the strong exist above the strong.

No matter how strong you become, there is always another strong person above your head.

A world where even gods and devils have unchanging, eternal laws, and where even those at the very end cannot feel at ease because of those who stand shoulder to shoulder with them.

Thinking like that, Jinhyuk opened his mouth.

“Don’t think too hard. “I can’t even imagine how many people stronger than me are standing above me right now. Would you be surprised?”

“Yes, that’s right. It’s strange that I, who has only been climbing the tower for a few years at most, is trying to stand shoulder to shoulder with or trample on those who have climbed the tower for decades. But I don’t want to hide anymore. Even if I have to go into hiding again, I want to postpone that as much as possible.”

“… … “I understood what you wanted to say.”

I don’t want to hide.

Even if I have to hide, I want to delay it as long as possible before hiding.

The appearance resembled a being that Jinhyuk knew very well.

“It’s me. Ken, you are what I wanted to be.”

“Isn’t that how dreams are supposed to be? Reaching out for a goal that is out of reach. “That is the dream I have in mind, and for me, that dream is Jinhyuk.”

Jinhyuk Cha.

Jinhyuk himself was the ideal image that Ken desired.

A being that does not hide against powerful enemies, and even if it does, it does so only after being driven to the brink of death.

It’s unbelievable, but it’s an unbelievable being who really does it.

Therefore, it is a being that is worshiped as a god and is made to have faithfulness.

That was exactly the way Ken saw Jinhyuk.

“For that goal, I will stay in Lightning Canyon, which I love and hate, for a while and sharpen myself.”

“To not hide?”

“yes.”

“… … Yeah, I know what you’re thinking. “I support you.”

“thank you.”

Jinhyuk nodded and respected his thoughts and opinions when Ken said that he would stay in the Lightning Canyon and focus on training a little more instead of following him out of the Lightning Canyon.

“Have you eaten everything?”

“Thank you for waiting.”

“There is so much to be thankful for.”

“I am grateful for everything Jinhyeok has given me.”

“… … “Being embarrassed is a talent, a talent.”

Jinhyuk, who slightly blushed and cleared his throat at the sight of Ken casually saying something unfamiliar, stood up and walked towards Tam, who was falling asleep in the arms of Hyerin, who was sitting in a rocking chair in the distance.

“Jinhyuk.”

“why.”

“I’m sorry that I can’t leave with Jinhyuk, but… … “Could you please do me a favor?”

“… … say it. “If it’s possible, there’s no reason not to listen.”

Is it because of what Ken said?

Jinhyuk stopped and listened to Ken’s request.

“Please stay in Lightning Canyon for a while until Puppet comes. “I’m sure he wants to meet Jinhyuk as much as I do.”

“… … Please do that too. “How long does it take?”

“He will be back in a week.”

“… … “It’s nice to get some rest after a long time.”

“thank you!”

Jinhyuk burst out laughing and turned his back on Ken, who was genuinely happy with a bright smile on his face.

Jinhyeok, who was walking with his hands raised and waving, did not forget to add one more word.

“Ken.”

“yes.”

“Why can’t we even call something like that a favor between us?”

“yes?”

“… … “Well, isn’t it shameful to add the word ‘please’ to asking friends to go see someone they know?”

“… … !!!”

Ken was surprised, smiling brightly with a red face, as Jinhyuk walked even faster, scratching his head with his hands as if he was embarrassed to say such a thing.

and.

“… … yes!”

I nodded with a stronger answer than ever before.

The back of Jinhyuk, whose size is not much different from his own.

It was similar to the time in the past when he showed an electrifying appearance on the 10th floor, where he blew mana from the magic tower, shattered the crystal ball at once, and created a mana ball like the sun, but unlike then, Jinhyuk was softer and more electrifying than then. naturally got down on one knee and muttered quietly.

“… … “Gwimen.” * * *

Jinhyuk, who received a favor from Ken that was not his request, decided to stay in Lightning Canyon for a few days from then.

of course-

“… … “What should I do?”

Although he said he was taking a break, Jinhyuk actually had no intention of taking a break.

This was because my head and body, which had become unaccustomed to the word rest due to its constant running, were thinking of things to do even when I was taking a break.

Jinhyeok’s eyes widened as he looked at the lightning striking outside the window and at Tam running around and cackling.

Quack!

“… … avarice!”

A thick bolt of lightning fell on Tam’s head, who had been avoiding lightning well until now.

The powerful lightning that could easily turn Tam’s body into ashes was enough to send goosebumps down Jinhyeok’s spine.

Just as he was about to break the window and rush towards Tom.

“Wow!”

Quack!

Jinhyeok looked at Tam with his mouth wide open, swallowing the lightning that had fallen on him, with a bewildered expression on his face.

Jinhyeok, who trudged towards Tam as he watched Tam catch lightning, which is a natural phenomenon and has the power of a god, asked as he straightened out Tam’s hair, which was sticking out due to static electricity.

“Is it delicious?”

“Ugh… … Pababak in your mouth! Jump out! cellar… … Shooting star?”

Pisik-

No one in the world has seen lightning fall from the sky.

There would be no being that could be said to be like a Shooting Star after eating the trust containing the power of a god, but Tom was almost the only being that could make that possible.

and.

“… … “Isn’t it possible for me too?”

Jinhyuk was also the only one who straightened his hair, which was constantly getting messy due to static electricity.

After thinking that far, Jinhyuk sat down on the dirt-covered floor, sat Tam on his lap, and said,

“avarice.”

“yes?”

“Shall we eat Shooting Star together?”

“… … yes!”

I haven’t had anything to eat lately, so that’s good.

The Four Emperors and the Nine Stars.

This is the moment when a faint smile appears on the lips of Jinhyeok, who has not eaten anything recently except for devouring them.

Quack!

A gigantic bolt of lightning, unlike any before, fell from the sky.

Quack!

Jinhyuk lightly ‘gorged’ on it, transforming the faint smile on his lips into a deep smile.

Time for predation.

This time, it was the time of lightning predation.
