“Oh, shit!”
Erdin, who was glaring at Jeron, suddenly looks somewhere and swears harshly. She followed suit, and Jeanne, who moved her gaze, also pursed her lips slightly. Inferring from the shape of the mouth, ‘Mr. It was as if he was saying, ‘That seems like shit!’
“It’s disgusting.”
It hasn’t been long since we arrived after wading through waves of undead. But I had to move again without even being able to catch my breath. It was a wise decision to move quickly while I had time to catch my breath, but it felt unfair.
“Then why did you say we should solve the plague?”
“Was it just me?!”
When Jeron clicked his tongue and spoke, Erdin seemed to be frustrated and pounded his chest with his fist.
Mayen glanced at the two people and said.
“I don’t think this is the time to be bickering.”
A wave of undead came 10 meters in front.
It was a distance that only took 15 seconds at their walking pace.
The group had to move without even being able to catch their breath. However, before they could move very far, they were blocked by a barrier made up of undead on all sides.
‘That’s strange.’
Jeron stroked his chin. There was nothing until I looked around from the tree. Since the undead do not move very fast, it is impossible to move ahead and block the path.
Even though it’s true on both sides, I don’t understand why it also appeared in front.
“It’s really gross.”
While Jeron was thinking that, Erdin sighed deeply and grabbed his spear.
“Mermont. “I only trust you.”
“Mermont? What is it?”
“It’s the name of my window.”
When Jeanne asked with a nervous expression, Erdin answered.
“I’ll take back what I said about helping.”
“The name Mermont has a sad legend.”
“… … “What kind of legend is it?”
When Erdin spoke with a sad expression, Jeanne’s ears perked up.
“It’s a sad legend.”
“So what kind of legend is that?”
“It’s just a sad legend. “You just need to know that.”
“and… … ! “I understand how Jeron feels.”
Jeanne muttered with a shocked expression and pulled out her sword. It was a sword with a length of 50cm, including the handle, which was approximately 70cm.
It was long enough to be called a dagger, but short to be called a short sword, but the sight of holding the sword in reverse and twirling the wrist looked familiar.
As the party took up a fighting stance, Jeron spoke.
“Why are you getting ready to fight?”
“That’s because we were surrounded.”
Erdin answered as if it were obvious. In his heart, he didn’t want to fight. Undead do not die easily unless their head and body are separated. But he is surrounded and he must break through.
“I don’t know how deep I have to go, but I can’t relax already. Let’s secure a safe place first and think about it later.”
“But what if we’re surrounded?”
“hmm. “Try carrying the priest for a moment.”
Erdin separated the spear and tied it to both waists, and Zeron, who carried Logan, slit his fingers. The undead split in half and fell down with a patter.
When Jeron motioned for them to go through the gap, the group quickly ran.
Jeanne let out an exclamation as she ran.
“Aura Thread! “Did you kill the rag golem earlier with that too?”
“uh. “There is no need to expend unnecessary energy.”
“Don’t Auror Threads consume more Aurors than Auror Blades?”
“Generally speaking, yes, but… … To put it simply, what I’m using now is an Auror Sword made like an Auror Thread.”
The Auror Thread that Jeanne was talking about was the instructor. Auror Blade – A method used by pulling out strong energy as thin and long as a thread.
As she said, if an instructor had been used, more auror power would have been consumed. However, the Auror thread that Jeron used was a swordsman.
Auror Sword – This means that the sword energy was pulled out long and thin like a thread.
Just as there was a difference in the amount of mental power and internal energy consumed when creating a sword and a sword, the same was true for the auror thread.
“How do you do it?”
“that… … “For now, let’s postpone this conversation for later.”
Just before the TMI instinct came out, Jeron came to his senses and said.
* * *
1 hour later.
“Huh!”
Erdin screamed and lay down on the ground.
I carried Logan on my back throughout the run.
Under normal circumstances, I would have been fine after running for hours, but now I had to dodge the attacks of the undead, which was extremely difficult.
Logan feels sorry and casts a holy spell on Erdin.
My throbbing body becomes comfortable and drowsy. Her dazed mind also becomes quite clear. She wanted to rest well as it was, but she had breakfast. The danjeon was empty so I had to fill it quickly.
“It’ll be okay at this point.”
Jeron looks around and comes to speak. While he was away for a moment, Jeanne, who had been standing guard, breathed a sigh of relief and put away her sword.
“What about Senior Mayen?”
“They said they were going to check something for a moment.”
“hmm?”
The place where Jeron and his party settled was halfway up a low mountain. Perhaps because it was a place where people rarely visited, there were no undead. But what are you checking?

‘I’ll ask when I get back.’
Jeron thought so and waved his hand widely.
Purple fog… … No, the fog made up of deathly energy dissipates.
They tried to gather again, but Jeron spread a curtain of energy and blocked them from getting closer.
Mayen didn’t come back until I prepared a quick meal.
After finishing his lucky breakfast, Erdin sits quietly and asks.
“What is that fog?”
“It’s a fog made up of dead morale.”
“It’s made of the energy of death?”
Erdin’s face turns slightly white.
It was a completely normal reaction.
On the other hand, Jeanne is just amazed.
“Can I think of it as a type of mana?”
“maybe.”
It was hard to say if Jeron was exactly right, but I assumed it would be similar.
Then Logan spoke.
“Among black magic, there is something called Necromancy. It’s a black magic that manipulates the dead… … Such people are called Necromancers.”
“I’ve heard of a necromancer. “I remember it was a sect of the Black Magic Tower in the past.”
“you’re right. “It is a black magic that has disappeared since the Black Magic Tower disappeared.”
Necromancy was a black magic that was extremely focused on material transformation among the main magics of the Black Magic Tower.
When you say material transformation, it may seem very difficult and you may not understand what you mean, but it is not a high-dimensional magic like turning copper into gold, but is closer to the concept of training or strengthening that makes human skin hard and tough like stone.
It’s just a matter of packaging it up and saying it’s a material transformation.
Also, in raising the dead, the subjects to whom material transformation was applied were limited to the undead – those who died but walked around without being able to rest.
“Necromancers mainly deal with undead, so dark mana… … Among them, you will form a circle with mana that is closest to death. It’s my first time seeing it in person, but if that purple fog is the energy of death… … “I think I understand why you feel rejected.”
“But didn’t you say that the entire County of Gedrin is covered in that fog?”
As Logan finishes speaking, Erdin asks.
That’s what the rumors said.
I don’t know how powerful the Necromancer is, but I can’t even imagine if the entire county was covered in the energy of death.
“perhaps… … .”
“You won’t be able to do it alone.”
Jeron interrupted Erdin. The afterword is roughly predictable.
He was trying to say that he was the strongest on the continent or that he had power comparable to a god. But if he had that much power, he wouldn’t have stayed in hiding.
They may have already ruled the continent or formed a new force using the Black Magic Tower as their predecessor.
‘I may have gained these powers recently. But what you’re doing is so out of class.’
If they had taken over the royal family of the Kingdom of Coombe, they might have believed it.
“Jeanne.”
“huh?”
“Among the artifacts, are there any that amplify the user’s mana?”
“Yes. But it doesn’t raise the circle. Just increase the total amount of mana. A 3rd circle wizard can cast stronger 3rd circle magic, but cannot use 4th circle magic.”
Jeanne explained briefly.
Jeron thought for a moment and asked the question again.
“What if you have an artifact from the mythical era?”
“that… … “I can’t say for sure.”
“It is said that during the mythical era, various races lived together. Of course, there may have been artifacts or weapons containing the power of a god. “If a necromancer has something like that, there’s no reason why it wouldn’t be understandable if something like this happens.”
“That makes sense.”
“There is only one thing that can act as a variable here. “It’s about how well you handle an artifact or weapon that has that much power.”
“That means… … “You mean this might not be everything?”
“that’s right. The undead I met earlier were faster than zombies and slower than ghouls. Since this is a long time ago, changes may have occurred by now… … What’s certain is that we couldn’t have strengthened all those undead.”
“Maybe this fog has the power to make the undead stronger?”
“That’s a possibility, but I don’t feel any special power. “I’ll keep that in mind just in case.”
While they were talking, Mayen returned after catching an undead. She was tied up with ropes with broken limbs, but she did everything she could to stay still and not struggle.
“Why did you catch that?”
“I want to check if my sister has done something.”
Mayen put down the undead and set up a magic circle nearby.
“Nothing will be able to come close for a while.”
“thank you.”
Jeron bowed his head and said hello.
After that, I summarized the conversation we had just a moment ago and delivered it to Mayen.
Mayen listened, thought for a moment, and said that there was a good chance.
“However, for artifacts from the mythical era or weapons containing the power of a god, the more powerful the power, the greater the penalty. In the case of a weapon containing the power of a god, it can be used through a contract-connection, or if you forcefully draw out that power, the power will run out of control and your body will burst and you will die. “There are many restrictions for ordinary beings to use it.”
“What if a warlock uses something that contains the power of plague or necromancy? So, to put it simply, the waves of power match, creating a synergy effect.”
“If that’s the case, the restrictions are relaxed to some extent. It is said that Astral and Middle Earth are divided, but direct interference is not possible, but indirect influence can be exerted through a medium. maybe… … “If something like this is possible, I expect it to be for that reason.”
“A mythical being can have an indirect influence through a medium?”
“yes. For example, in the Ionic Church there are saints and saints.”
That’s what I heard and saw.
Saints and saints were avatars who represented God’s will.
‘In other words, if the necromancer who committed this has an artifact or weapon containing the power of a god and the wavelength of the power matches… … .’
This means that you can have an indirect encounter with a being from the mythical era.
Jeron’s eyes took on a different look.
