Necromancer’s Evolutionary Traits

[ Episode 374. Sin’s home base, Jakata]

“Ummm…….”

Craig opened his eyes while suppressing a shattering headache and glanced around.

“Oh, he is also a prisoner, so his recovery is quick. I didn’t even have to wake him up.”

“Puppies are cute!”

Crack’s hair stood on end at the words that came without a sign. And soon, when he was about to reveal his nails and live,

“Do you know why I didn’t redeem you?”

He was respectful, but a cold voice tapped in his ear.

“Think and act well. I don’t want to kill something I purposely kept alive.”

“Keugh.”

Craig groaned involuntarily.

After belatedly looking around, he confirmed that six people were surrounding him.

“Salem Yedidia Luna Pendragon…”

Craig’s eyes widened as he spoke.

“Morn Dwalski Evan von Orleon Maximin Cronell?!”

“We don’t know you, but do you know anything?”

Crag flinched as Salem grinned.

However, Crack, who guessed that there was a reason for keeping him alive for a while, regained his cool.

“What do you want from me?”

“As expected, it’s like an executive in the scene. It cools down quickly.”

As information that should not be known leaked out of Adrias’ mouth, Craig’s brows furrowed.

“I don’t know what you are talking about. Can I ask why you attacked and captured me before that? Are you persecuting me just because you are a prisoner?”

“You can’t hide that you’re an executive in the scene when you’ve already recognized us. Well, it’s not important, so let’s move on.”

Swoop

Adrias bent down to meet Craig’s gaze.

“To answer the question, I got it because I had a question. Actually, I visited because I knew that the Red Fox Tribe was in close contact with you, but I was lucky enough to get caught.”

At first, Craig, who only paid attention to prominent figures such as Salem and Maximin, realized that his thoughts were wrong.

‘This is the leader of the group!’

The animalistic senses unique to the Beast Tribe sounded an alarm. And he foresaw that his answer would have a big impact on the scene.

“……I cannot answer.”

“I haven’t even asked yet.”

“You’d better kill me.”

Crack closed his eyes.

Although he did not only do proud things, his spirit of sacrifice for the beast race was sincere.

‘To stop breathing right away before being tortured…’

Morne, Salem, and Luna were already famous black magicians. In addition, in Evan’s case, he was acting as the Heretic Inquisitor of the Holy Land, and it was obvious that he would be superior to any other expert in torture.

“I have no intention of killing you, so let’s ask one question. And as I said beforehand, even if you’re not there anyway, the scene will be able to find itself. Even if you die, only you will lose.”

Adrias, speaking as if he had seen through Craig’s psychology, looked at his opponent with black eyes.

Feeling the deep abyss inside, Craig once again felt the fear of the unknown as his hair stood on end.

“Do you know Deshurn?”

“…….”

There was no answer.

However, Adrias quickly guessed through the opponent’s breathing and pulse.

“You know. So, Deshurn is at your base right now?”

“I do not know.”

“There you are. I’ve pretty much checked out all the information I wanted to know. Thank you for your cooperation.”

Adrias’ one-sided answer eventually broke Craig’s composure.

“Why did you ask when you already knew everything? Are you mocking me?”

“I didn’t know. I just inferred the answer from your reaction. Compared to humans, beastmen have more prominent physical characteristics, so it was easy to identify.”

Only then did Craig realize that Adrias had checked and found out his breathing or the movement of his fur, and was at a loss for words.

“for a moment! Why are you looking for Deshurn? What are you going to do with the scene!”

“The question is over. Now go on your way.”

Now the urgent side was crack.

He desperately asked, as it was obvious that with the power of these six, even a scene with a large number of organizations would be organized at once.

“Are you going to attack us?”

“I saw you doing it.”

“Can you see me doing it?”

“You already know who saved the World Tree, right?”

Crack shut his mouth for a moment.

I had no choice but to know more than an executive in the scene.

“……I know you did.”

“Continue to speak comfortably. Don’t do it awkwardly and suddenly.”

“The world tree case is a painful failure for us, but it has been buried for a long time. There are no plans to attack the World Tree again.”

“Do you think I brought up the world tree because of that?”

“Of course, there will be no retaliation against Adrias-sama for that.”

Crack knelt down.

Its tail drooped like a puppy asking for forgiveness.

“You got it wrong. I don’t care if you retaliate or not.”

“Then why are you talking about the world tree…?”

“I know that the things that gnawed at the roots of the World Tree are traces of sin.”

When Adrias’s words continued, Craig couldn’t hide his surprised expression. However, it was another person who responded first.

“what? crime?”

“Hehe, it’s disappointing that you were the only one who knew. I wish I had spoken to this old man beforehand.”

Salem and Morne spoke to each other.

Watching Adrias believe what he said, Craig shook his head.

“I don’t know what you mean by sin, sin!”

“Now that this has happened, how about guiding us?”

Adrias, ignoring the others and even Craig’s words and only saying his own, reached out his hand.

“I have no intention of antagonizing Sin. Oh, by the way, I’m Deshurn’s disciple. How can I get rid of those who have ties to my master?”

“I can’t believe it. And guidance is another matter.”

Craig made a troubled expression.

If Adrias was openly hostile, Crack would have been rather comfortable. However, along with that respect, his friendly yet subtle attitude gave Craig a tiny bit of hope and positivity.

“You talk a lot. Hey, is there a Ulug in your house right now? No, the captain on your side was probably Threndal, right?”

“…….”

“Don’t catch and eat, man. I didn’t come here for you in the first place. Rather, it is self-consciousness. How can we come directly to you?”

Said Salem, holding Craig’s head and turning it around.

“You guys are just a couple. I also thought that Adrias asked to see you because of Deshurn, but it would be wrong if sin was involved.”

“We are here because of the Emperor of the Empire. Maybe it’s a topic that can communicate well with the scene.”

Following Salem, Adrias spoke of his true purpose, and Craig muttered with a dumbfounded face.

“Empire? Emperor?”

“It’s your territory, don’t you know anything? There’s nothing to see but these guys’ sins?”

“I don’t understand what you mean.”

“The emperor is around here right now. We came to get his head, hehe.”

As Salem’s shocking remarks continued, Craig’s mouth fell open.

“The Emperor of Fire?!”

“Hey, why are we together? Since we all have the same goal, isn’t it why we hold hands and act like this?”

“Come to think of it…”

Crag had no choice but to believe Salem’s lies.

Of course, warlocks were hostile to the Emperor of the Empire, and Maximin was a famous Imperial enemy. Adrias Cromwell was also branded as an instigator of the rebellion, so it was very plausible.

“So, please cooperate with me. If it were the emperor, wouldn’t you guys grind your teeth too?”

“Is that information true?”

“Even if this bastard speaks. Hey, I’ll say it again, did high-class talent like us come here just because of you?”

“This… I can’t decide on my own. However, I am sure that there will be a positive response if we spread this news.”

Craig struggled to stay awake in the flood of information.

The sudden appearance of the continent’s strongest people and the emperor’s whereabouts. And even Adrias, who knows the details of the sin…

‘We have to hold hands.’

It wasn’t just because of the emperor.

In the current chaotic situation across the continent, if you join hands with them, the damage of the beastmen could be reduced.

“I will convince you.”

“Then are you guiding me?”

“That’s…”

Craig sensed that the time had come for a decision to be made. Up until now, Adrias had been considerate of her, but if she let her out any longer, the favorable situation could have been broken.

“All right. It guides you to the scene.”

“Then let’s go right away. I don’t have time to rest. We have to mobilize all members of the scene right now to find the Emperor.”

It was said that he would use the scene for granted, but instead, Crack was relieved.

At least there was a chance to prove its usefulness, so I thought it wouldn’t be abandoned.

“I’ll see you right away.”

It may be a bit premature, but everyone will understand.

Crack stood up from his seat and tried to rationalize himself.

**

‘It’s been a while since I’ve been to Sin’s stronghold.’

In fact, dealing with the sin of gluttony was more comfortable after the incident happened. If I had to solve it before the episode happened, I would have to deal with the scene together, so I tended to leave it alone.

“You were hiding like a rat. Oh well. Were there real rats? Hehehe.”

Sin’s stronghold was beneath the quicksand desert. In the Shaiya Desert, there were often places where there was a lot of quicksand and earth fire, and Sin’s home base was one of those places.

“Have you never been to Salem?”

“Why do I have to come to the beast’s den?”

“Still, since he has his own title of wanderer, I thought he must have been there. Even the characters in the scene knew about it.”

“There is no work for those who can’t even learn magic.”

After leaving the quicksand and walking for a long time in the huge underground space we arrived at, something started to flicker.

“Wow!”

The appearance of a well-equipped underground city appeared in front of us. It seemed that Luna, who was traveling the world for the first time, seemed to be fascinated by it, and ran to Crack, who was ahead with an excited expression.

“Puppy! Is that your house?”

“That’s right. That’s Jakata, the home of our scene.”

At that time, a presence was felt from far away, and in an instant, beastmen surrounded us.

“Who are these crackers?”

“……Call Lord Threndal. They are guests.”

“customer? Humans are guests, so what is that……”

The boar beastman, who was the representative of the besieged beastmen, looked at our faces and gradually hardened.

“Me, me, me…”

“Hello? Has our pig grown a lot?”

Salem greeted him as if he had seen a familiar face. Soo-in, who was greeted immediately, shouted at Crack.

“Who the hell did you bring! Betrayal or Crack!”

“That’s not it. Once you bring Sirendal, I’ll explain everything…”

Sudden confusion passed by.

Soon, the number of people who knew our faces gradually increased, and the tension increased.

“Somebody go back and tell me this!”

“yes!”

One of the prisoners who received the order hurriedly returned to Jakata, and I decided to wait quietly.

“Wait a little.”

“If it was like before, I would just push it all out and go in.”

Fortunately, Salem listened to me.

Among the characters here, Maximin and Salem were the most difficult to deal with, but surprisingly, Maximin was calm and Salem followed my words well.

“I thought that Sa Salem Yedidiah would listen to others.”

“Who is that guy?”

I can hear all the whispers, you guys.

It seemed that my appearance was not known to the beastmen yet.

“ok? Are you coming soon?”

Luna pointed towards Zakhar and said.

The prisoner, who returned as she said, was coming again even after a while.

“Oh, that inspiration was really here.”

“Hoo.”

And Suin was not alone.

Beside him, an old man with a strong impression was running with a big smile even though it had been a long time now.

“Master.”

“Disciple, it’s been a while!”

Deshurn Fallon.

One of the giants of swordsmanship, my master, greeted me warmly.
