Necromancer’s Evolutionary Traits

Episode 38. The mixed-race duo

prepared to move in earnest when night fell.

The reason I didn’t move during the day was because I thought it would be better to move aiming for that since the other guys are going to be diligently accumulating points anyway.

In a word, it was a strategy to hunt worker bees who worked hard during the day to collect honey.

And for him, he analyzed the map in advance and set some points.

At night, the students would also have to sleep, so they were places to sleep considering their psychology and the topography of the mountain.

“I am ready.”

Just as Diene’s preparations were finished, we immediately left the secret hideout.

“Looking at it when it comes out, it looks like nothing. How are you going to find out and come back?”

Diene, who looked back at the beat she was playing, asked with an incomprehensible expression.

I didn’t mark it in particular, but I encountered and experienced so many times that the roughly disguised beats were obvious at a glance.

And since the only beat I made in this area marked on the map was this one, it was easy to find it.

I couldn’t explain it, so I just shrugged.

“It’s just a feeling.”

“what?”

Leaving Diene’s teasing look behind her, she walked ahead.

what if it’s true

Among the hunting points marked on the map, the nearest place had to be walked more than expected.

Even the moon floating in the sky was obscured by the clouds, making it difficult to distinguish even an inch ahead of the silent scene and the vision obscured by the darkness.

Even so, I concentrated the mana of Danjeon on the body activation, especially the eyes, and my vision was wide open.

Diene was carefully following me, floating in the air behind me.

“Adrias.”

“yes. miss.”

“I’m just asking because I’m bored… … .”

“yes. Please tell me.”

“Why did you think of wearing a sword?”

He was quiet while following me, so I wondered what he was thinking, and that was it.

Perhaps if you open Diene’s head, you’ll find more about knights than magic.

“As you know, my magical powers and magic skills aren’t great. It was quite a big deal when I ran out of mana the last time I fought a warlock. The only thought I had at that time was that I needed something to protect myself from relying only on magic.”

“Hmm?”

“Are you interested in swords?”

“no. at all.”

A strong negative is a strong positive.

Diane is just like that.

I don’t know why he bothered to hide it, but I took advantage of this opportunity to ask him insinuatingly.

“When you say sword, it reminds me of Carlos. how are you?”

“brother? I don’t know. I used to go around singing romantic songs every day, but after becoming a knight, I really traveled around the country, so it’s been a while since I’ve seen them.”

“Is that so? Do you have plans to meet me sometime?”

“what? What do you know about that?”

“I wanted to say goodbye for the first time in a while. He was a good person to me too, so I miss him.”

In fact, in my memory, Carlos Alven was a good man with an easy-going and free-spirited personality unlike the eldest son of a great nobleman.

He was a simple and hot-blooded person who always wanted everyone to be happy.

“Good. I decided to drop by at the academy’s end-of-year event.”

“Is that so? That’s great.”

Academy end-of-year event.

I was finally able to figure out the date of the terror attack.

In fact, I guessed that terrorism would happen soon because the time gap with the information I originally knew would disappear soon.

‘Still, I’m glad I found out for sure.’

You can pay attention to the year-end events.

In addition, I knew the location, so I thought I could block it if I did well.

As I walked, thinking about terrorism, I checked a map and gestured to Diene.

Now I needed to be as careful as I could to get to the places I had taken pictures of.

Diene also knew what I meant and kept her mouth shut.

Fire. Clap.

My prediction was right.

I saw a group of 3 people with their backs against the cliff and building a bonfire with their backs to the cliff while saying, “Please just kill me.”

Even though the opponents were outnumbered, they seemed to be able to win the points without any problems thanks to the advantage of assault and vision.

Diene, who had followed, also spotted them and immediately prepared to use her magic.

“for a moment.”

I stopped Diene in a very soft voice.

Then, Diene looked at me with eyes asking what was wrong.

I didn’t want to stop it either, but it seemed like there was another uninvited guest besides us.

“There is another party on the other side. They seem to be hunting like us.”

“okay? Then we should wait and attack.”

fisherman geography.

She didn’t say a word, but Diene, who sensed my thoughts, carefully concealed herself and snuggled up next to me, anticipating the upcoming battle.

For us, it was beneficial in many ways as we could aim for the remaining opponents after the battle between the two parties was over.

“see.”

Finally, the shadow on the other side that was aiming for the bonfire group began to move.

However, there was something strange about the movement.

‘They don’t use ranged magic attacks?’

The appearance of moving in harmony with the darkness near the bonfire was a movement specialized for close combat.

Just like the movements of the special forces… … .

‘Aren’t you a wizard?’

And as if I wasn’t the only one thinking this, Diene muttered.

“Why are you approaching me like that?”

At that moment, a small shadow hiding in the darkness popped out in an instant and cut the throat of the person who was on watch.

“Suck!”

I heard Diene take a breath, startled, and I looked around as my tension increased.

Something is wrong. not a student

But before she could judge anything, Diene woke up.

And immediately use magic.

“Kheuk?”

A man resembling a goblin who had decapitated a student noticed Diene’s magic and averted his gaze.

The reaction speed gave me the impression that I would be strong, unlike the opponent I had.

Breaking love!

Giant ice fragments created by Diene were shot out.

Then, with a sinister smile, the opponent lifted up the student who was pouring blood from his neck and blocked his way.

“That mean!”

With Diene’s angry shouts, the flying magics were hastily canceled and shattered.

In the meantime, a large group of people who had been hiding with the goblin man came out.

As soon as he came out, he and the goblin man grabbed the other two students who were unconscious and dreamed of.

“If you don’t want to see these guys die, get out of there.”

The student who had already been hit in the first place was lying on the floor, bleeding profusely and dying.

And the other two were captured and held hostage.

I tried to calmly grasp the information.

‘There are no more opponents. both of them. But the movements and actions are not normal. Are you a mercenary?’

When I thought they were mercenaries, I guessed something from their looks.

‘Mantos and Glau.’

They were a mixed-race duo who worked together as mercenaries.

Mantos was a hybrid of a human and an ogre, while Glau was a hybrid of a goblin and a human.

Even in games, they appear from time to time, but since they are people who do not get caught, they are also involved in all sorts of dirty work.

The question is who buys what from and kills the students in a place like this.

While I was lost in my thoughts, Diene left first.

When she came out, I had no choice but to come out too.

“Yes, yes. If you don’t want to see your friends get hurt, you should listen carefully.”

“What is identity? Do you think you can safely harm the academy students?”

Despite Diene’s murderous words, Glau only giggled.

Unlike him, Mantos asked us in a serious voice.

“Let me ask you one thing. Do you know where either of you is, Adrias Cromwell?”

Why am I suddenly here?

Diene was like that, but I was embarrassed too.

“If you let me know, I will pass quietly.”

Mantos spoke again, and Diene and I faced each other without saying anything.

Sensing that the atmosphere was strange, Glau stared at my face.

“what? Isn’t that the guy?”

“hmm?”

At Glau’s words, Mantos looked at me and smiled.

“Right.”

“Hey! How does the prey come to my feet? good good!”

The moment Diene was about to step out in a fit of rage at the conversation between the two, I spoke first.

“I don’t know why you came to see me, but will you let them go?”

“Seeing you do that.”

“Hey hey. miss. We’re interested in this friend, but we don’t want to get involved with you, right?”

When Diene saw the situation of using mana, she immediately grabbed a knife and cut the neck of the captured student.

Mantos grabbed the struggling student by the neck and gave him strength.

“How do I do this? First of all, the lady over there is annoying, so why don’t you get out of it?”

“Shut up. How dare you know who I am and speak carelessly?”

“I don’t know who. If you don’t move, I’ll just kill them all.”

“Save me… … .”

Seeing the student whose face turned white, Diene’s complexion also turned pale.

It must be difficult for Diene, who worships chivalry and is full of justice, to endure.

Anyway, I decided to speak first.

“What do you want? Should I follow you?”

“Good good. Do it!”

At that time, Glau cut the arm of the student he was holding with the knife in his hand.

“Keah!”

“Hehehe. hey girl Don’t think about following us, just watch over these guys so they don’t die.”

After saying that, he climbed onto Mantos’ shoulders.

“You follow me. If you don’t follow me, I don’t know what will happen to this guy.”

“If a woman follows, I will break his neck right away.”

At the words of the two, Diene looked at me with worried eyes.

What can I do with you?

“My lady, look at them here. Please make it simple, starting with the bleeding, and probably assistants from the Faculty of Engineering will come soon.”

“you?”

“I have to follow. Don’t worry. I am confident that I will not die.”

I smiled and reassured her.

Of course, Diene doesn’t know how strong those two are, so I don’t know if I’ll be safe or not.

Diene, still worried, gently grabbed my shoulder, but I carefully removed it.

“You’ve seen it for the past two days. I have the confidence to survive knowing a lot of pretty nasty skills. Please see the two of us sooner than that.”

Eventually, she bit her lip and glared at the mercenary duo before approaching the fallen students.

“Kheuk. You’re laughing. survive? against us? Kehehe.”

No matter what the other person said, I followed them as they walked ahead.

Finally, after moving to the deep forest where Diene could not be seen, I demanded that Mantos release the student he was holding.

“I followed you, so release the author.”

“Are you stupid? How did you get into Rodlen Academy with that kind of intelligence?”

Mantos, who suddenly made a personal attack, gave strength to his grip.

Pudeuk.

Soon after, with the sound of bones snapping, the student in his hand drooped.

Seeing him, Glau held the boat alone and laughed.

“Kehehehe!”

“Did everyone laugh?”

“Kheuk?”

I don’t know what the hell he came for, but it just went well.

It’s perfect for a test stage.

“Are you crazy because you’re so scared? what do you understand Because soon you will be like this too.”

“No. You shouldn’t have just killed him.”

By just killing that student.

There are no more witnesses around.

“I don’t know why you came to see me.”

I gathered mana while feeling the squirming energy on the other side of the subspace as if it would burst at any moment.

And the gathered mana soon turned into a black portal, revealing the silhouette of something.

“Let’s get right and listen.”
