Necromancer’s Evolutionary Traits

[ Episode 291. Absorption and growth]

Thanks to Harungel, I knew that the crystal I was absorbing magic from was the Philosopher’s Stone, but I couldn’t figure out exactly what the Philosopher’s Stone was.

I only knew that it had a nickname of ‘a wish-fulfilling stone’ through various historical records, but I couldn’t figure out how far the wish was made, how to make it, or how to use it correctly.

‘So can you explain the situation?’

-There are many types of Talismans. Among them, this one is made to absorb all life with necromancy that is always activated. So maybe that’s how I reacted.

The reason why there are only undead in this kingdom.

I guessed roughly, but it seemed like my prediction was right.

‘This means you’re using necromancy, right?’

-okay. It’s just astonishing that something like a piece of equipment has its own will and uses magic. Perhaps the owner who made this was also a necromancer. It’s designed to absorb power when a necromancer comes into contact with it.

‘So I’m absorbing that power right now?’

-ha ha ha! That’s right, you thief.

Unexpectedly, the crystal was absorbed.

I touched it lightly for research, but I didn’t know it would turn out like this.

This would disrupt my plan to not destroy the crystal.

‘He did more than destroy it.’

-why? Are you worried about getting scolded by the owner? Now I see, I was a coward. It would be foolish to refuse to take care of Talisman out of fear of the owner when there is only Talisman in front of him.

When did you call him a thief… Anyway,

the thing has already happened.

Now, after absorbing either the Talisman or the Philosopher’s Stone, the Linked Hidden Piece will be activated naturally.

“Umm…….”

I was going to go out after eating all the delicious food, but I didn’t know there would be a variable like this.

What was troubling was the fact that even in this situation, mana continued to flow.

How much did you collect? No, more than that, until when did you intend to save it and then absorb it?

-Even at a glance, it is a talisman that has been created for eons of time. A mana powerful enough to take me out. How can you withstand this magic? Humans shouldn’t be able to hold on…

“It’s almost over.”

I ignored Harungel’s question and spoke to Vivian.

Vivian just quietly nodded and stayed by my side.

I don’t know exactly why it can withstand magic, but I thought it might be because of the characteristics of the bowl.

Unlike other people, the whole body is a mana store, so it must be accepted without difficulty.

Tring!

[You have absorbed the Necromancer’s stone.]

[The talent black magic (skilled) is converted to the talent black magic necromancer (genius).]

Crazy.

Even though the category was downgraded, I couldn’t hide my surprise at the growth of talent skipping two steps at once.

And this wasn’t the end.

[You have absorbed an imperfect Talisman (Necromancer)]

[You have acquired the attribute ‘Incomplete Command of the Spirit’]

[Incomplete Command of the Command (Unique)]

[You can deal with undead without an owner. There is an individual success rate according to the level of the undead.]

[Incomplete penalty: Mana consumption is doubled when using Command Dominion.]

Unique characteristics appeared.

After all, is it a philosopher’s stone? The rewards are running out.

Blasphemy!

Kwajik!

When the absorption was over, only the crystal, or talisman, was broken.

Unlike before, the talisman that fell apart was scattered, leaving behind only an empty light.

“Adrias?”

“It’s done. I absorbed it.”

When I said that I had been absorbed, Vivian gave a look of relief.

Is it over now? It was time to think about the future.

-I don’t know who it is, but Talisman’s owner will follow you until he dies. haha.

Harungel still hasn’t disappeared.

-I don’t know where this is right now, but you’d better run away. A person who produced Talisman and raised him as much as I did would not be ordinary. Maybe he’s a necromancer stronger than me.

I wanted to run away too, but the opponent will follow Harungel’s words all the way to the inland.

Rather than dragging that monster inland, it would be more appropriate to settle the matter here.

When I played Agatha, it was an enemy close to impossible, but…

‘Worth a try.’

– Is it worth it? You’re crazy. Could he be stronger than me?

‘You lost to me too. Why are you talking so proudly?’

-…….

I felt Harungel’s consciousness disappear.

Are you pissed off?

“I’m leaving.”

“huh.”

Talisman’s owner probably felt that something was wrong, but it wasn’t long before the news reached Medjour.

So, there was plenty of time to exchange items.

The owner of Talisman is the one whom Mejour serves.

He was the owner of this kingdom.

**

On the way out, the undead poured out.

And when he came back and swept all the way to the top of the building, he was able to get his hands on about 16,000 pieces of stone.

Dragon soldiers’ experience is a bonus.

“Maybe we can divide it by 8,000.”

“Take Adrias.”

“no. I will split it in half.”

“I got the sword. So Adrias has it.”

Vivian and I, who came near the building where the mejour is located, had an unexpected clash of opinions.

“I already had a good sword, so I gave it to Vivian. And considering all the hard work you’ve done for me, that sword wasn’t even given to me…” ”

No. Bring all Adrias. I’m okay.”

Vivian said coolly and went straight into the building.

It won’t work. I just felt like I had to buy something suitable for her with a piece of stone.

‘It’s ambiguous to do this because each person can get one name…’

First, I’ll have to check the items with Mejour.

“I waited.”

Upon entering, no one returned.

It could have been because it wasn’t the appointment time yet, but everyone is hunting harder than I thought.

Instead, he saw Rago sitting on the floor blankly, as if he had been keeping his seat from the beginning, and Luna sleeping next to him.

“Um…….”

Luna rubbed her eyes and stood up as if she felt someone’s presence.

“friend……?”

“Did you rest well?”

Luna stood up blankly and shook her messy hair.

Then he staggered to his feet, and the Dodo came too.

“My friend.”

fluff.

I stroked Luna’s head as she suddenly came into my arms and put her on my back.

Is it because I woke up looks like a child

“Since the Vivian stone carving is over, let’s look at things together, right?”

“huh.”

Vivian answered my words, but her eyes were on Luna.

It looked very envious, but it seemed that he was envious of me carrying it.

But I can’t give up on this either.

“Are you back?”

I approached Mejour with Luna on my back.

To Mejour who greeted me, I took out the stone pieces I had prepared in advance from my bag.

thud!

Charleureuk!

Looking at the falling stone fragments, I said.

“Are these large things of any value?”

“……Where did you get this many numbers…”

Mejour’s eyes were filled with surprise.

“Hmm, I will count each stone as 100. And this is…….”

Mejour, who saw a particularly large and deep blue stone, looked at me with an expression asking where he got it and said.

“I count as 2000.”

It was the expected number, so I said it right away.

“Then, if you include the small things counted by magic, that’s 17101. Can you show me what you can buy with this? It doesn’t have to be a magical item. Please take them all out.”

“All right. Colonel right away.”

Mejour went inside with a bright smile, like a salesperson who had posted results.

But suddenly, if I kill Mejour, can I get all the things inside?

‘It’s an enemy anyway.’

After thinking about something else for a while, Mejour hurriedly brought out the items.

Looking at the items placed on the table like a display case, memories flooded back to me.

‘I could only play as Agata here, so it was just a piece of cake…’

Agata was an archer.

So, of course, I only bought items related to archers.

In particular, there was only one named item per person, so I only bought Luella’s sincerity, which can create mana arrows.

But now that restriction has been lifted.

“Wow.”

While Luna was on my back, she looked down at the items and admired them.

The items that Mejour brought were really diverse, ranging from jar-like items whose use was difficult to understand, to swords and magic items that looked good at a glance.

I already knew what each item was because I had grown tired of eye shopping with Agata.

“I will introduce this item first. This was brought by the Jibbleton Knights dispatched from our kingdom…”

I’m worried.

I couldn’t hear Mejour’s words as I was already checking the item window.

There were a few useless items, but most of them were above average.

Some of them were also named items.

pounding!

You can tell right away just by looking at the heartbeat you feel.

As I was looking at things like that, an object that I hadn’t even paid attention to in the game caught my eye.

[Order of Magical Duel]

It was a one-time item.

It was a more common item under the name of a magic scroll, but it was one of the rare items in the interior.

It’s not that it’s particularly difficult to make, it’s just that it’s not popular because the cost performance isn’t good, so it just went into the market.

[It is activated at the same time as tearing the spell book and enters a forced magic duel with the designated target.] [The

one with more mana is stronger and wins, and the defeated opponent takes a serious blow.]

[Cannot move while in a magical duel.]

1 on 1 An exclusive, unique order.

I couldn’t make it now, and I didn’t know what the principle was.

It must also be said to be ancient.

“How much is this?”

“This is a magic duel spell. The price is 300 pieces of stone.”

It’s terribly expensive.

But I bought the order without hesitation.

“Here are 300.”

“Has confirmed.”

Since it was not a named item, there were no restrictions on purchasing it.

I wish I had bought a few more, but it’s a pity.

‘Even though it’s disposable, it’s worth buying.’

It felt expensive, but I couldn’t help but buy it because it was a perfect order for me.

One of the biggest strengths I have is the amount of mana.

Besides, since I absorbed the Philosopher’s Stone a little while ago, it will be difficult to find an opponent who can defeat me with magical power.

“Are there any other items like this one?”

“There are other scrolls, but that is the Magical Duel Scroll.”

I regretfully asked, but it was natural that there was none.

Because there was only one item exchanged here.

“that! Buy me a friend!”

While putting the order in her arms, Luna, who was on her back, pointed at something and her eyes twinkled.

The amount of items that Mejour brought out were quite large, but they were miscellaneous items that did not match the number of stones I had.

Luna pointed to one of those items, a dark stone the size of a fist.

It looks like a meteorite that fell from the sky and burned up.

[Black stone]

[Black stone.]

A japtem whose description is extremely simple.

I don’t know why you want such a strange japtem, but you can just buy that much as a gift.

“How much is that?”

“…….”

“Mejour?”

Mejour slightly stiffened her expression, then loosened it.

That momentary reaction is so fleeting that you can’t even confirm it unless you’re a trained person like me.

“It’s 3000.”

And the price that came out was unexpectedly huge.

“3000? What is that?”

“It’s just a stone. It is a superstitious stone that brings good luck.”

Just selling stones for 3000?

Rather, it was more suspicious.

‘But are there times when I can’t figure out the item window?’

According to the description in the item window, it was just a japtem.

However, one curious thing is that the item window does not appear on most things.

Even if you look at the stone on the side of the road and try to look at the item window, it never comes out.

Being marked as an item definitely means there is something.

“I will buy it.”

“I don’t recommend it because it’s a waste of stones, but I get it.”

I don’t even remember if it was in the game.

I didn’t remember everything, including me and japtem.

That’s why I didn’t think much of it, but thanks to Luna, I found something suspicious.

I immediately paid 3000 and received the stone.

Even if you hold it in your hand, it was just an ordinary stone.

“Here it is.”

“Thank you friend. lol.”

It seems like I did 3000 stones, but if Luna is good, I’m satisfied with that.

And there might be an unexpected hidden piece hidden there.

“But why did you ask me to buy that stone?”

“see!”

see?

I tilted my head for a moment when I heard that I could see Luna, but then I got goosebumps.

What Luna can see.

No, something that only Luna can see.

‘It wasn’t an ordinary stone after all.’

it was the soul
