The Barbarian Became a Necromancer - The Barbarian Became a Necromancer chapter 99
099.
Several curses that the demon king gave upon his death.
One of them, arranged death, did little harm to mortals.
They are the ones for whom the end of life has been decided since they were born.
Of course, it was fatal for those who awakened some Controversial Flames or built an area.
This is because they cannot reorganize their bodies to live longer.
The world concluded that the curse of the demon king was to prevent the birth of a strong person.
But that was just an opinion confined to the human race.
What if the demon king was afraid of a certain race and only targeted them with a curse?
“Our compatriots had to survive. It was not the time to worry about invasion by foreign enemies.”
Elten looked at the two.
“I had to think about how to cope with a life that was near immortality and ended.”
But it didn’t.
Even the spirits that were always with them and nature didn’t know about it.
I had never lived a life deprived of immortality, nor had I ever worried about it.
“The mayhem has arrived. Even if we accepted and practiced breeding, there was no progress, and the World Tree, our mother and father, remained silent.”
They sit down on the rubble and continue their conversation.
Seira was restless.
However, my double, the doppelganger king, is calm.
It was thanks to the mind connected to me.
Nothing big can happen right now.
It would be crazy for Seira who doesn’t know that.
“Can’t we finish explaining the circumstances?”
“Calm down, Seira.”
“Does it look real? Lokram. No, Mr. Lokram. The real Lokram is safe, right?”
“I said that fifteen times. let’s hear it for now It’s not a situation where you can just deal with it without explaining the situation.”
“Defeat Lokram is right.”
“Just be comfortable with Luke. Because they are comfortable with each other.”
The two of them let out a sigh at the words of his name on the spot.
“great. Mr. Luke. If something happens to Lokram, you must tell him. Did you know?”
“I will.”
I do not intend to say it even if I say it.
Because my brute force exerts its true power when I am alone.
After calming down again, Elten continued.
“Even when we were full of despair, our compatriots could not abandon their mission.”
“Is this your mission?”
Seira stamped her feet.
The remains of the observatory where they sit.
The huge facility that sealed the demons was in a state of collapse.
“That’s right. In addition to this place, the compatriots who have settled down all over the continent have their own mission.”
Some cities protect the devil’s seal, while others protect the children who will lead new changes.
Growing a new world tree or taking care of a forest for the elves to live in.
“We are given a mission as we live a near-immortal life. I regard following that mission for the rest of my life as the greatest happiness and blessing.”
Elves can live forever like trees if the environment supports them.
They couldn’t live a life like other races.
A life like a monk who accepts his mission and polishes himself for it.
It is built into the body like an instinct.
If not, he would have left the forest and wandered around the continent long ago, unable to overcome boredom and the passage of time.
Then, you can’t adapt to the flow and go crazy.
“A curse suddenly fell on us who only knew how to carry on our mission.”
If you walk a single path in life, you will master it in that direction.
Even more so, it was the elves who had been repeating the same thing for hundreds of years.
It was natural to be strong.
That’s why the demon king decided to cut down that honest tree before being resurrected.
“It was understandable confusion. We have to change generations quickly, and we have to have a mission. It would be a long time for humans, hundreds of years, but for us, it was tight.”
Survival requires solving big problems.
It was impossible for the mission to come into sight.
So the elf opened the door to diplomacy that had been firmly locked for a long time.
“It was officially declared that way. We had to get help from other races through diplomacy.”
“But you were concerned.”
Seira nodded as if she already understood.
“I decided that if controlling outsiders is the same outsider, then one day they will reveal their dark desires.”
“That’s right. So, we needed to have someone to control on our side.”
Wood Guard.
A direct escort group that protects the World Tree.
They trained for hundreds and thousands of years under the mission of honing martial arts and spiritism among elves.
Elten devised a plan to appoint the leader of such a group of monsters as the representative of the outsiders.
“That’s Del Cernello… .”
To think that the human hero who had always served as a bridgehead between humans and elves was actually an elf.
It cannot be the shocking truth.
After washing her face dry, Seira glanced at Elten.
Seeing that gaze, she unknowingly lowered her shoulders and meekly admitted her mistake.
“sorry. I had no intention of hiding it. I knew everything, so I had to make a living for myself.”
“How much do you know?”
At Luke’s question, Elten pointed upward.
“They even know that Patrick’s party is the lure of the warlock.”
“yes? But I didn’t feel anything like that… .”
Luke answered Seira’s murmur.
“Because it’s such arcane magic.”
“Do you know anything?”
“There is, but I think it’s more important to listen to something more important than that.”
Seira swallowed her doubts at Luke’s chin.
Elten nodded at his consideration and continued talking while bowing his head.
“Dell. The kid did a great job on his mission. We hid our identities and identities, made peace with humans, and shared our mission with them. That’s how I bought my time and studied the means to resist mortals.”
However, the result was, as you can see, a failure.
Elten looked around with a bitter expression.
“The world tree that conceived us became silent as soon as the demon king died. Even if they tried to give birth to offspring, the attempts failed every time. So I had to turn my attention the other way.”
If complete immortality is impossible, wouldn’t it be okay to have half immortality?
The research that started from there eventually suggested two paths.
“Forcibly settling the soul into the body and forcibly granting a life of reincarnation.”
“But if that happens… I’m sure I’ll go crazy.”
“that’s right. Whatever it is, you get out of the bondage of your mission. Still, we were desperate. That gave birth to an obstinacy and forced me to work.”
The former turned into a dark elf. The latter was called reincarnation.
Elves had to choose one of two untested options in order to survive.
The former was, of course, no different from undead.
However, the elves’ intensive spirit art for a long time changed this differently.
“The metabolism cycle was replaced with spirits. It produces an effect that is no different from living in real life. Instead of a dramatic increase in physical ability, spiritism cannot be used, but… Isn’t it a world where the power to replace it exists?”
“Then reincarnation… How was it?”
equally imperfect immortality.
Elten, who had experienced this himself, smiled sadly.
The story of her experience that followed was horrifying even from the listener’s point of view.
“Born as maggots with wisdom and intelligence intact, they became food for birds.”
Her calm voice slowly took on a strange madness.
“I was reborn as a cat kitten, and after all sorts of bullying, I died in a back alley.”
It is dangerous because it has not been verified.
The reincarnation chosen by some of the elves who were cornered to the point of forgetting even that fact was not unconditional reincarnation as an intelligent body.
Sometimes as an insect, sometimes as an animal, sometimes as a monster or monster.
It was only a moment of ease as death, but it was endless pain.
“I ate what I didn’t want to eat to survive, and I was forced to fight. Words, of course, didn’t work. It was the height of barbarism.”
From repeated reincarnations, Elten’s mind was devastated.
It seemed that the soul had been torn to shreds, and it was restored at the end of death.
But she had to survive.
Even though his mission as an elf elder had been broken, he had to fulfill a small mission that had sprouted in his heart.
So I waited for the right time.
He persevered despite the many deaths and sufferings that plagued him.
“In the end, I was reincarnated as a human. We are finally at the starting point, but too much time has passed.”
Still, Elten did not stop.
He wandered the continent, tracing his memories.
He collected clues by visiting the hidden city where his compatriots lived.
Finally, Elten figured it out.
How to fulfill your mission.
“Del Cernello. It is said that the child went into eternal sleep while embracing the wheel of the last reincarnation. I came here to destroy it.”
“Isn’t the wheel of reincarnation the object that gives imperfect immortality?”
“That’s right. If it falls into the wrong hands… It is certain that the continent will be tainted with greater chaos than if the devil was resurrected.”
Seira was silent at her determined words.
I heard all the truth, and I finally knew Elten’s purpose.
It is confusing to know the secret truth hidden among the elves.
I didn’t know what to prioritize in this situation.
Maybe the fate of the continent will change due to their choices.
Is the purpose of the black magician who came here limited to the devil?
Saira thought no.
‘Maybe Lokram noticed that as soon as he arrived here and left.’
A puzzle is put together in my head.
Tradition of Lokram’s tribal village.
If Lokram’s hometown also belongs to a village or city that has made peace with the elves.
That’s why I stopped by this place to prepare for the succession, and after recognizing the problem, I moved alone.
Then the answer came out.
Seira answered in a straight voice.
“We focus on destroying the Wheel of Reincarnation.”
“What about the warlock?”
“Don’t worry about that.”
Luke’s words.
He spoke to the two in a confident tone.
“Because Lord Lokram will punish him.”
It’s just a word, but it can’t be a strong word.
That’s how the three got their way.
“The Wheel of Reincarnation is not something that can be broken simply by breaking the main body.”
“Then is there a separate core item?”
“Yes, it is certain that there is a wheel of reincarnation inside this place, so there must be wedges that supply spirit power. We have to get rid of it.”
“Can you break it if you remove all the wedges?”
At Luke’s question, Elten nodded.
“yes. I can be sure. It’s a product of stupidity made by me and the other elders… .”
she got up from her seat
“Now we have to destroy that stupidity.”
***
‘Did you hear? master.’
‘Yes, hurry up. Only then can I take the soul of that elven hero.’
‘I’m going to split in two. Elten that woman. He only knew how to handle the voices of spirits and the unique magic of elves.’
It wasn’t that he was hiding his power, it was that he didn’t have any real power.
He is the doppelganger king who even made his own name.
The guy was alone, and Seira and Elten decided to work together.
‘Report to break all the wedges.’
‘Are you going to deal with the Dark Elves right in front of you?’
‘I guess so.’
A madman is a drug.
There are no elves anymore who thought only their mission was everything.
They have to escape from the yoke of their mission and spend a dense time like any other mortal.
The world will be full of crazy good things.
So the author in front of me must have changed like that.
“Shard, did that guy seduce you?”
“How can a human being ever fathom his and my lofty goals?”
came out
A standard comment from a race that considers itself superior to humans.
I tilted my head while maintaining a sad face.
“If the grand goal is to raise a corpse and then sit down, then the standard for a grand bottom line must be infinitely low among elves.”
“That’s something anyone without a family can say.”
“You talk as if Del Cernelo is family.”
“We elves are all family and compatriots. Even if the number of worlds born is different, they all come from the same root. A mere human will not be able to understand.”
That’s not a family.
Maybe it’s because they’re from a different race, so their way of thinking is unpredictable.
Maybe it’s the result of going crazy.
“A warrior. Your invincibility will be broken today, right here.”
“try.”
With the undead army at the forefront, I flashed the bright yellow jinan.
“If you can break it.”
“I think so.”
A ferocious black magic emanated from him.
I thought I would cast black magic right away.
The shadow that spread around him spit something out.
“Cool! Kuck!”
“Hey, this is… .”
A voice full of bewilderment.
The five men and women who jumped out were Patrick’s party.
Patrick and Jane Gray, who are in the lead, face me with shaky eyes.
“as… Mr. Kram? What happened?”
“I, I… .”
Even as he stutters, his eyes are intent on looking around.
they were confused
I was in shock as if I remembered something I had forgotten.
And I know the cause.
“It’s such a dirty arcane spell. burst down. You were the one who inherited that magic.”
“Did you know? Then it will be easy to talk.”
The guy snapped his fingers.
Perhaps they noticed something strange with that, and the five warriors began to break out in a cold sweat.
“what is this. What is this in my body!”
“Huh! omg! no. no… .”
It reacts as if someone cut out memories and put them together again.
When they realized that the terrible nightmare they were unaware of was real, they panicked.
“stop.”
But that’s for a while.
They are silent at his word.
The Dark Elves made them aware of the cold and dark reality.
“You came here for the performance, and I got caught. Also, there is a bomb made of dark magic inside its body.”
“you… you bastard… !”
A stifled gasp escapes Patrick’s mouth.
Regardless, he pointed forward.
“Do you want to live?”
Their doctors don’t care.
The body held by his will moved like a puppet.
“Then kill the undefeated hero in front of you. If you do, it will only save your life. But if you have even a little impure heart… .”
Cheeik!
Smoke billows from the vicinity of their hearts, as if for a taster.
For Patrick Party, who wrote arrogance, the option did not exist in the first place.
“Isn’t it possible to achieve a goal if you live once?”
What he said to them was also what he said to himself.
“sorry. Lokram… sorry.”
Staggeringly, Patrick Party stands up.
With a face that can’t be helped, he pulls out his weapons and creates magic and aura.
I looked at them with a blank expression.
“For now, shouldn’t we live and see?”
“No need to apologize.”
There is black magic.
Before I knew it, I told them the truth while measuring the magic that bent my body.
“Because you are already dead.”
It’s a corpse explosion magic.
The living could not be seduced by the arcane magic.
