Episode 76

“……I know it’s sudden. And I know that it can’t be helped if you refuse. But!”

Boom, bang.

At my words of rejection, the guy raised his head, which had been hunched over as if digging into the floor, and soon began to pound the floor.

“Please! Just listen to the story, please!”

As a loud noise rang out that was so loud it couldn’t even be called a head-on collision with the ground, the masked man and Kane belatedly ran over and began to stop him.

“colon!”

“Brother, stop… stop it!”

Then, Kane glanced at me and gave me an earnest look.

As if he was asking me to stop him somehow.

‘I don’t know why this guy is suddenly acting like this, but… … whatever.’

As I can see, the conversation has already taken over for me.

If he was so humble and asked me to just listen to his story, I had no reason to refuse.

Of course, there were conditions.

“You heard a little while ago why I came here.”

A knight who can make me a death knight who will be loyal to me.

Since I came here to find such articles, I emphasized that I would only listen to this guy’s suggestions or requests once that is resolved.

“Don’t worry about that! In the name of our cult, we will definitely find the knight you are looking for!”

“Tongue, bro!?”

Of course, I don’t know if his eyes had already rolled back, but the guy even shouted an oath, and Kane looked at him in surprise and whispered to the side.

“Are you saying that you even swear at me!? No matter what…….”

“Anyway, are you willing to listen to my story?”

Of course, I nodded to him, who was still kneeling and looking up at me, as if he couldn’t hear Kane’s voice.

“……Thank you, thank you so much!”

Tub.

The guy who suddenly grabbed my hand with his bloody one and muttered that, then quickly stood up and walked towards the stairs leading up.

“Let’s go upstairs and talk. The knights you’re looking for are gathered up there.”

“Oh.”

Somehow, the scenery on the first floor seemed a bit out of place for a place where knights gather. Was it on the floor above?

As I followed the guy, the masked men and Kane also started to follow him up the stairs.

Crack, crack.

“I don’t know if there’s an article at the level you’re looking for… but just in case, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to just look at it and judge for yourself.”

As we went up to what appeared to be the second floor while saying that, a view that was clearly different from the one just before unfolded.

“Oh.”

There were differences in degree, but most of them were walking around wearing armor, and they were all knights who seemed to have quite strong powers.

Most of them were sitting at tables chatting with others, but there seemed to be quite a few people training with their swords or their own weapons, or building up their strength with their bare bodies.

Most of them were strong enough that it could be said that they were definitely on a different level from the knights outside… … .

“Still, I don’t see any articles that fit my style.”

However, by my standards, I didn’t see any knights strong enough to be considered Death Knights.

Of course, despite my words, he just nodded his head and smiled.

“Well, I didn’t think these mere articles would be enough to satisfy you. Let’s go up a bit further.”

After looking around the second floor like that, I went upstairs again and a hallway that looked like an inn appeared, unlike the first or second floor.

However, the extremely flashy red, gold, and orange decorations gave off an extremely luxurious and oppressive atmosphere that made it difficult to call it a normal inn.

As we walked down that hallway, he muttered to me.

“Those knights from earlier were carefully selected by us, but most of them are yet to reach greatness. Of course, each and every one of them has potential, but what you need is not that potential, but a giant tree that has already grown large, right?”

“You know.”

Squeak.

As we entered a room at the end of the hallway, there was a table that looked like a long dining table.

Of course, the piles of paper piled on top of it seemed to indicate that it was used for something other than a dining table.

“Sit down wherever you want, there are plenty of chairs.”

As I sat down in one of the many chairs that stretched out across the table, he walked over to me and said,

“Our cult’s information sources are very extensive. Even if it’s difficult to find confidential information about other people, if we just look for one article that fits the criteria, it won’t take more than two days at most.”

dump.

Not only the guy, but also the masked man and Kane all sat down next to him, and the guy took out a piece of paper from the table and looked into my eyes.

“And if you listen to my story and solve it, I can offer you a reward that is incomparable to this.”

“Okay, then let’s talk about that quickly.”

A guy who becomes silent at my words for a moment.

Not only that, the masked men next to him all lowered their heads with sunken eyes.

Only Kane was sitting there, not knowing what was going on.

“……As you may have guessed, our Demonic Cult and the Bone Fortress are not on good terms.”

“I know.”

We already knew that the Demonic Cult was at odds with the Bone Fortress, as Bella had already identified them as a force that could cooperate with us.

However, I couldn’t figure out why they were fighting… … .

“But it’s not like we were on bad terms from the beginning.”

Now, it seemed like this guy was unraveling the reason.

“Since the leader of our cult, Cheonma, and the leader of the Bone Fortress, the Blood Queen, cooperated to climb the tower, we could say that our relationship was actually good.”

“I see.”

The tower quest is essentially something that is nearly impossible to complete alone.

Of course, I was able to get through it on my own because my powers were quite unique, but that wasn’t the case for other people.

The fact that the two collaborated was not all that surprising.

“That’s why we had countless exchanges with those guys. Those of us who died while climbing the tower were revived by the guys from the Bone Fortress, and we helped the Bone Fortress whenever they needed force…….”

It was an ideal exchange, even if you only hear about it in words.

But if that kind of exchange had continued, I wouldn’t have even brought this up.

“……And, among those they saved were my wife and daughter.”

Trembling.

The hand of the guy who placed it on the table was trembling.

A reaction that makes you intuitively feel like something happened between those two.

“One day, the Heavenly Demon went missing.”

Sigh.

The guy raised his head and looked at the ceiling.

A pattern in the center of the ceiling where the sun originally appeared.

The pattern was painted black so as not to match the others.

“And at the same time, the Bone Fortress guys disappeared without a trace. I didn’t even hear about it as I was climbing the floors, and I only realized it when I got to the safe zone!”

bang!

Unable to control his anger, the guy slammed the table, but this time no one stopped him.

In their eyes, there was sadness, sorrow, and anger.

“And… and the undead they had saved, our comrades, our families… all disappeared along with them.”

“Are you asking me to find them?”

If it was about retrieving those who had already gone missing, it would have been difficult even for me.

My specialty was necromancy, not chasing or searching for people.

“No, when they showed up again, we fought them and brought our comrades back, our families.”

As he said that, he wiggled his left hand slightly.

Unlike his right hand, which looked fine, his left hand was covered in countless wounds.

“But those we brought back… were no longer our comrades or family. They were simply slaves trained by them.”

Suddenly.

The guy got up from his seat and immediately went out of the room.

As I followed him out of the room, he opened a nearby door with a creaking sound.

“……her.”

He showed me the sights inside.

Countless red drawings like magic circles drawn on the floor.

Candles placed here and there, yellow pieces of paper cut into rectangles, and red, unidentifiable letters written inside them.

In the midst of such a strange sight, someone was looking at me, bound all over, surrounded by the most intricate and numerous paintings and candles.

-Geueuugh… … Gieeeeek… … .

It showed its hostility towards me by howling like an animal, but still did not attack me.

As I tried to step inside, the guy immediately stopped me and said,

“Be careful. This formation was created to suppress you shamans. If you step on it recklessly, you never know what might happen.”

With those words, the guy looked up at someone who was crying softly in the middle of the room.

“……You probably know what kind of condition the author is in.”

“The revived necromancer has lost his sanity because his mental powers were cut off. Not only that, but the morale that was supporting his body has gone wild and he is trying to suck out all the morale around him.”

He looked at me with surprised eyes as I recognized his condition at once.

“Wow, you can tell just by looking at it?”

“Because it’s a sight I’ve seen countless times.”

He bit his lips as if he was thinking about something, then he spoke to me.

“We were glad to have them back, but they were already made loyal to those damn bone fortress guys, so they turned on us instead, and all we could do was seal them away like that.”

I wondered why they kept accusing me of being a liar, was that why?

The guy who said that looked at me.

“What I originally wanted to ask of you was to give them peace so that they would not suffer any longer.”

“……Are you okay?”

It would be no different from killing those who were originally colleagues or family members, even if they were imperfect and still alive.

He said that with a gloomy expression at my words.

“I’ve tried it countless times already. I’ve tried holding them down with a sword, beheading them, burning them, etc., but… they still don’t die. They’re just in pain. I don’t want to make them suffer any longer.”

Crackle crackle.

He shook his head like that, then said with a look in his eyes that seemed to have made up his mind.

“And… maybe when the Bone Fortress guys come into conflict with us, if we control them again and set them up as a shield… we won’t be able to attack them.”

“……That makes sense.”

Actually, back when I was outside the tower, there was a necromancer who resurrected the families of soldiers as undead and made them fight.

It was very effective, but it was ultimately one of the ones that fell behind me.

“But… maybe, I know it’s almost impossible, but I have a favor to ask of you.”

chuck.

Kneeling on the floor again, he muttered to me.

“Can’t you change them into undead who are loyal to no one, who were just resurrected like you said…?”

At those words, I looked at the undead for a moment.

Judging from the fact that he didn’t seem to have any strength, he wasn’t a very strong guy.

If you just look at it as making animalistic noises, the ego is probably long gone, and it will take a long time to get it back.

but.

“……I already guessed that it would be impossible. You don’t have to pretend to worry about it.”

The Bone Fortress guys have already accomplished something similar.

‘Seone… … was that the queen?’

Looking at the ring on my finger, I thought back to that floor before I came here.

The queen’s husband was not a very outstanding man either.

It was they who brought back to life that husband, who was almost like an ordinary person, even though he was physically and mentally shattered by using the relic called the Hand of the King of Cognition.

And their level was so low that it was embarrassing to compare them to me.

Even though my morale and mental strength may have declined compared to when I was outside the tower, for me, who has already reached the peak of necromancy…

“It might be possible.”

It was more than enough to try, and if I couldn’t do it, it would be nothing more than crying my name, which had reached the peak.
