Episode 67

Unlike the guys down there, he had a lot of stamina, so I figured he’d somehow pull through.

I thought they would at least try to block the breath by summoning some undead.

“Kuaaaah!”

Am I hoping for too much, or is the timing of the attack so unexpected?

But what is certain is that the man in front of me has already become a cold corpse.

‘… … It was good that he was killed, but I feel uneasy because I don’t know anything about his identity or anything else.’

I poked the corpse of the guy with the hole in his chest with my foot, but there was no particular reaction.

All Kelvin and I knew was that this guy was from the Bone Fortress.

It was at that time that I was trying to find something on his body that could prove his identity, thinking that I should search through his body.

“Wait a minute, Iza… I think I’ve seen this somewhere.”

Kelvin looks like he’s thinking about something.

After searching through his body, which had soon become a corpse, he even found a sentence with a fancy-looking skull drawn on it.

“Did you find out anything?”

“I’m not sure… but it seems like this guy is the only one who can provide the power to revive the Queen’s husband. I’ve seen him before.”

“……He was a pretty important guy.”

I felt like my body was full of evil spirits. Was that the role you were given?

As I found out this guy’s identity, I began to feel belated regret.

‘I shouldn’t have killed him so rashly.’

Of course, regretting what has already happened won’t change anything, so what can you do?

We have no choice but to deal with it quickly now.

“……I think it would be best to get out of here quickly.”

If this guy is indeed the one supplying power as Kelvin said, it won’t be long before the Bone Fortress guys notice and come up.

Meeting the guys in and of itself was fine, but getting caught while still not knowing their purpose or the whereabouts of the Hand of the King of Cognition was not good.

What if they notice that I’m here and hide the hand of the King of Cognition and fight me, and what if their troops come down to capture me alone?

Although the chances are slim, if guys who are dozens of floors higher than me come down as troops, I can’t guarantee victory or defeat.

“Kelvin, get ready as fast as you can, there’s no time!”

“Oh, I see!”

Kelvin, perhaps sensing the urgency of the situation, quickly stepped over the body and headed inside.

“We don’t have much time, so we’ll have to do it in an abbreviated form. We’ll skip the military song. I’ll act as the Queen’s representative, and we can consider having guests…….”

As Kelvin prepared himself in such a flustered manner, a rumbling voice began to be heard from down below.

It seemed like they had already noticed.

‘… …Fuck.’

If you think about it calmly, it was inevitable that it would turn out this way.

Given that Kelvin dragged them here, this is probably the only place where they can hold a royal ceremony.

I couldn’t just leave this guy here, so in the end, what I would have done was the same.

Of course, the difference between knowing it in advance and knowing it now is extremely huge.

Kelvin was walking around the room as if trying to quickly complete the ceremony.

Along with Kelvin’s footsteps, the faint sound coming from below seemed to be getting closer.

‘Fuck.’

What should I do?

Is there no way to overcome this situation?

While I was racking my brain like that, Kelvin, who had thankfully finished preparing, started muttering something to me.

“We swear allegiance to the Queen, born and raised in the sacred land of magic, and as the Queen’s spear and shield, we will protect our country and protect the Queen, and it is our mission and dream to value it more than our lives.”

As Kelvin looked at me, I heard a voice coming from below.

-Hey! Hey! Answer me!

There was no time.

Kelvin, who had been speaking rapidly as if by magic, noticed this and soon gasped for breath and asked me.

“Do you offer your blood and soul to the Most High and the Most High and swear to protect them until the end of your life?”

Although I wasn’t specifically told what to do, I instinctively knew what to do.

“I swear.”

That was the moment.

-Ahhhhh… … .

A wail echoing in my head.

The Queen’s cries that I had heard when I first came here echoed in my head.

‘Why, why.’

At that moment, the Queen’s sadly crying voice filled my head with such meaning.

Thud, thud, thud.

At the sound of footsteps coming up the stairs, I immediately looked around.

There is no place to hide the body.

So should we fight them?

Of course, it was a situation I had hoped for, but not yet.

I don’t even know where the Hand of the King of Cognition that I need to get from those guys is, and if I fight it already, I might lose it forever.

So what should we do now?

“……Run!”

Tub.

As I approached the window, holding Kelvin’s spear, Kelvin, who realized what I meant, shouted in shock for a moment.

“Hey! Are you really crazy!?”

“I hear that a lot, but at least not now!”

Kelvin had no time to react to the sudden events, and his body, which had already flown away along with my hand holding the spear, was thrown into the air along with me.

Hoooooooow-!

For a brief moment, I felt as if the ground had disappeared, and then my body began to fall.

I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t scared, but I still forced myself to wake up and called out to her.

‘Dracolich!’

[father!]

Round.

The body that was falling gradually becomes lighter.

In the empty space where there was no floor, a cotton-like floor gradually appeared, and soon, it began to lightly accept me like water and float my body in the air.

“Huh…… gasp…… gasp……?”

“……That was close.”

Between Kelvin, who was bewildered and didn’t know what was happening, and me, who let out a sigh of relief, someone started to come down, floating up.

[Thank goodness, Father. It was a bit hesitant since I had just finished deciphering the magic, but… … I succeeded.]

It wasn’t any of the giant lizard-like things I’d seen before.

Rather, it was a body that was slightly smaller than that of an ordinary human, almost like that of a child.

Of course, the scales that were scattered across her arms, neck, and cheeks told her that she was a dragon, and her pale, almost dark skin and her sinisterly glowing red eyes told her that she was a lich.

“……I knew that the detoxification was successful.”

Since the undead and the necromancer are connected to each other, everything about the undead is passed on to the necromancer.

Of course, I knew that she had already deciphered all the magical books she had received from Henette.

“I didn’t know you could even use polymorph, Dracolich.”

But what even I didn’t know was that her achievements went beyond that magic and reached the magic that only the dragon race could use, Polymorph.

[Even if you say so, this is not something I accomplished. It’s just one of the things I knew from the beginning.]

Of course, Dracolich was nothing special, and he closed his already half-closed eyes even more to show his humility, but that wasn’t important to me right now.

“……Dracolich, can you possibly cast that polymorph on Kelvin as well?”

“what?”

Kelvin, who was listening from the side, was suddenly startled, but regardless, the Dracolich nodded with a bewildered expression.

[Yes, it is possible, but… … may I ask why?]

“It’s nothing.”

Sigh.

As I looked far below, I began to hear the sounds of countless people chattering in confusion.

The warlocks probably don’t really care whether those guys die or not, so it’s obvious that those noisy guys are the bone fortress guys.

And the more confusing the situation is, the more difficult it becomes to make sound judgments.

“If we do it well, I think we can achieve results that will satisfy both you and me, Kelvin.”

If only I could take advantage of that gap and extract information.

After that, it’s basically just something that’s already been supported.

‘… … I guess I should hurry up.’

But it seemed like the time given to me wasn’t that much.

Now that something has happened, they’ll probably feel something is wrong and be on high alert.

There was no guarantee that I wouldn’t get caught in the process, so I had to get enough results before those guys got more vigilant.

“There is no time, Dracolich. Transform Kelvin and me into warlocks.”

[All right.]

Kkuddeuk.

With those words, my whole body began to change.

“Ugh… Ughhhh!”

Kelvin groaned at the strange sensation of his bones and flesh twisting, but in an instant, Kelvin and I had changed into those of the warlock guys we had seen on our way here with Jane a little while ago.

‘… … How strange.’

A magic that mimics a person by twisting the human body itself.

It would have been difficult for me and Kelvin to accept it if it hadn’t been for the condition that our bodies wouldn’t be damaged while serving that queen.

Of course, I don’t know if Dracolich knew about it or not.

[I knew it.]

As if reading my thoughts, the dracolich turned its half-closed red eyes toward me.

[There is no way I would do anything that would harm my father.]

“……Is that so?”

I was taken aback by the way he seemed to be reminding me of the Lich I had left outside the tower, but as I neared the bottom, that thought completely disappeared.

“Kelvin, get ready.”

“……Even if you say that, what are you trying to do?”

Kelvin ended up grumbling a little despite his body suddenly changing.

At his words, I pointed to the main gate of the castle.

“They won’t stop providing power just because the guy who provided it is dead. Otherwise, all the efforts we’ve made so far will go down the drain.”

I don’t know about anything else, but the guy up there was really good at scamming.

It’s almost as bad as the combined fraud of all the necromancers down here.

Now that that guy is dead, shouldn’t all the necromancers here be busy with their work to keep the supply of that fraud going?

“We will watch the process as warlocks.”

The reason it’s not a necromancer is because they probably already have some idea who did this.

Since I never saw anyone else while I was climbing this castle, they must have already suspected, if not confirmed, that I was the one who did this.

If that’s the case, then becoming a completely different black magician will free you from their suspicions to some extent.

“It’ll take some time, but I can tell what they’re trying to do just by watching them.”

To begin with, no one could match me in necromancy, and even now that I have entered the tower, I have yet to find anyone better than me.

For someone like me, it would be easy to figure out the details of a necromancy performed by at least a few dozen people, even if it was just one or two people.

‘And if they use the hand of the King of Cognition.’

At that very moment, I will be able to carry out my plan.

As soon as my feet finally touched the ground, I ran straight for the door, but I didn’t forget to remind Kelvin.

“Remember, we are warlocks through and through.”

Since our bodies are completely transformed, they won’t recognize us.

Since I put the Dracolich back in my inventory just in case, I don’t think you have to worry about getting caught.

Let’s take a deep breath and carefully open the door.

“Get down! Get down quickly, you little shits!”

“I’m going now!”

bingo.

As I expected, this place was a total mess.
