The Duke’s Lazy Martial Arts Genius (39)

It’s not a person, it’s a monster (4)

“Cadet Benio!”

An hour later, Amblanc, whose complexion had returned to normal, came to find Benio. Benio nodded inwardly after seeing Amblanc’s complexion.

‘Your complexion has returned to normal.’

However, it seems that the blood that had already flowed out was not replenished. So even if the curse was cured, it was not possible to expect the original condition to return.

“Ambulance!”

“That S-class?”

“Yeah, that’s the madman’s ambulance that goes crazy just by looking at monsters!”

There were mercenaries who recognized Amblan. It seemed that Amblan had left quite a strong impression here while performing his duties as a knight.

“A madman?”

“Heh, heh heh heh, it’s just the past.”

Ambulance blushed in embarrassment. He, who values ​​honor and manners, was called a crazy ghost. He said this to Benio, who thought that you can’t judge a person by their appearance.

“That’s not the point. We’re in big trouble.”

“What is it?”

“Did you know that Dudek, who is sick, put his hand on the forbidden power and turned Dudek Ryeong upside down?”

When Benio didn’t look even a little surprised after hearing his words, Amblan asked Benio. Benio nodded.

“Yes. That’s why the United Knights refused to participate in the war, and that’s why they even resorted to unlicensed mercenaries.”

“You’re a step too late. So what are you going to do?”

The bartender recognized Ambulance and approached him, offering him a drink. The bartender nodded politely, completely different from when he had treated Benio.

That must mean that S-class mercenaries are rare.

“They say it was an inevitable failure.”

“That’s how it’s going to be in the end. How are you going to complete the mission?”

Benio ran his fingertips over the wooden box in his arms. He didn’t know what was inside, but he felt uneasy because he thought it was something he had intended to give to Dudek.

“Have you heard of any forbidden power?”

“I didn’t hear that. The mercenaries didn’t know either. It happened inside the castle.”

However, it was certain that this had stopped the steps of the United Knights. It was clear that the lords of each territory did not want to get involved with Dudek.

If it is a forbidden power, then this is something that falls into the realm of palaces and temples.

So, if you give your strength to the Dudek Count for no reason, you may be questioned by them.

“The Sun Inquisitor said that he had handled the corpse.”

“corpse?”

“Necromancy is suspected.”

Necromancy.

In its original meaning, necromancy was a branch of black magic that studied the dead and was closely related to medicine.

Just as there is death when there is life, the temples and people did not unconditionally reject those who studied death.

In fact, many secrets about the human body were discovered through them, and diseases could be conquered through them. The Solar Church also studied more effective methods of treating people with divine power through solidarity with them.

A thousand years ago.

But a thousand years ago, there was the light dragon Shaeil and Devil Heart, who followed the Demon King. They plunged the continent into darkness, and only when the eight warriors appeared and defeated them did peace finally come.

Here, there were those who belonged to Devil Heart and followed the Demon King.

Necromancer.

Those who gained the power of the spirit by studying death and went down the wrong path.

The damage they caused was enormous. The legions of the dead, who could not be defeated without divine power, trampled the living, and those who went into battle prayed to the sun god Helios that if they died, they would not turn into corpses and attack their comrades.

In the end, they too were defeated by the eight warriors.

However, the damage these necromancers inflicted on humanity was enormous, and because of that, necromancers and black magic met their end.

For whatever reason, those who study black magic and necromancy are public enemies of all nations and are ranked first in the list of people to be killed.

It is said that Dudek, who was in pain, laid his hand on that power.

“If we’re not careful, the Dudek family itself could be wiped out.”

“hmm….”

Benio nodded. He too was well aware of the dangers of necromancy.

‘The undead of the Blood Cult were terrible.’

There have always been those in the martial arts world, led by the Blood Cult, who have harbored ambitions about resurrecting the dead and using them for their own gain, and there have actually been instances where their results have caused a bloody catastrophe in the martial arts world.

An example is the blood cult’s zombie.

The jiangshi, which was revived by treating the body of a dead warrior with a special drug and using the power of sorcery, was terrifyingly strong.

In particular, it was known that each and every one of the special blood qi poems could exert power equivalent to that of a master.

The reason why the Emperor of Heavenly Demons first devoured the Blood Sect by leading the Heavenly Demon Sect was precisely because of the Blood River City.

Although the Cheonmasingyo sect was the largest force in the Central Plains on a single scale, it would be greatly outnumbered if the entire Central Plains were united, so it showed interest in Jiangshi in order to maintain balance.

If that’s what those zombies looked like, it’s no wonder that this place is also hypersensitive to similar types of witchcraft.

“The Inquisitor has arrived, and the Dudek family is finished. At the very least, Viscount Dudek and Apal Dudek will not escape death.”

Amblan asserted so. The Solar Inquisitors were known to be strict with heresy and were particularly strict with forbidden powers.

The fact that they have come forward means that the rumors that have been spreading around the world are true.

“Hoo, hoo.”

But then, a mercenary opened the door as if he had run with sweaty feet and gasped for breath. Then, all the mercenaries around him looked at him.

“Have you heard them?”

Because gossip was the most fun for free mercenaries before they received a request. And as expected, when the mercenary opened his mouth, everyone’s eyes were drawn to him.

“Right now, the corpses of those killed by Apal Dudek are coming out of the castle in a row. They say there are as many as a hundred of them!”

“A hundred and nine?”

“You killed 100 people? That’s a homicidal maniac.”

All the mercenaries gathered here have experienced real combat. It is common to die and be killed while working as a mercenary. That is why, although they were surprised, no one was afraid.

“But what’s strange is that they said there was something stuck on the forehead of each corpse. They said it was ancient writing so no one could read it!”

“What are you putting on your forehead?”

“They say that something was written all over it with blood. Rumors spread that it was an ancient spell that could summon forbidden powers.”

Wiggle.

Benio’s eyebrows twitched for a moment. Something came to mind the moment he heard the mercenary’s words.

‘That can’t be true.’

Benio thought it might be a coincidence. But the thought that it might be true continued to plague Benio’s mind.

“Lord Amblan.”

“Are you going to go see it?”

“Yes, I guess.”

“I think they’re all going to go too, so let’s go together. I don’t know why they’re all flocking here like this because it’s fun to look at corpses.”

Ambulance also stood up. He couldn’t help but go since his benefactor, Benio, was going.

The lord’s castle was in the center of the castle. And the cemetery was in the northernmost part of the castle. Because it was close to the valley, the cemetery was in the northern part so that those who died while fighting off monsters could be buried there comfortably.

Because of that, the corpses from the castle passed by the street where the mercenary guild was. Benio stopped when he saw the crowd of people standing around as if they were watching a spectacle.

“Aside from hunting monsters, there’s nothing else to do but drink alcohol. That means there’s nothing else to see. That’s why everyone comes out to see it.”

There was no culture in Dudekryeong. All they did was fight monsters and sell their byproducts. Even if they had cultural facilities in such a place, the rough mercenaries would never see them.

So this is what makes an event.

“Besides this, people are excited about the execution of death row inmates and other gruesome things. Well, that’s a different story.”

It would be even more so because he was interested in Apul Dudek, who had used forbidden powers. At that moment, Amblan lightly nodded to someone.

“Your Majesty has come out too.”

“Your Majesty the Amblan.”

Amblan scratched the back of his head. Judging from the fact that he was a priest, it seemed that he was the priest who cured Amblan of his curse. When he looked at Benio, Amblan introduced Benio.

“My name is Benio, a cadet from Jupiter Academy. He is a very talented cadet who has already completed his field training.”

“I am Brian, a priest of the Sun Church.”

It was Brian, the priest with a straight nose and kind eyes. Benio opened his eyes wide when he saw Brian like that.

‘Divine power.’

Benio felt the energy flowing freely within Brian’s body. Unlike the knight’s auror and the wizard’s heart, the divine power was free.

A feeling of existing on its own, unbound by form or manner.

It was a divine power, a power received from God.

‘They say that only priests can sense divine power.’

But somehow, Benio could also sense the divine power. However, Brian looked at the corpses coming out one after another, not Benio, and made a pitiful expression.

“They are just ordinary people… It’s just a shame.”

Ambulance also frowned as if in agreement. At least he didn’t like the idea of ​​being a spectacle even after death.

But that doesn’t mean there was any way to regulate them. It’s because they were a desolate Dudek-ryeong, so their situation wasn’t completely incomprehensible.

“Uhm….”

Benio frowned as the corpse was revealed, all covered in cloth. He wanted to confirm it, because it seemed similar to what the mercenary had described earlier.

“Have you seen everything?”

Ambulance told Benio in a tone that suggested he go in if possible. But Benio really wanted to check.

‘No way.’

But to lift the veil of a dead person means to insult the deceased. Benio tried to turn away, thinking that it was something he did not know.

Beep!

But at that moment.

The sound of a flute filled with magic reached Benio’s ears. Benio turned his head to look at Amblan and Brian, who were also looking around.

It’s not just Benio who heard it.

Boom!

And then the cloth covering the body began to flutter and move, causing those who were carrying the body to stumble and drop the stretcher they were holding.

“Hey, what is that?”

“Corpse, corpse rises!”

And those who were obviously dead began to rise. Then those who had been crowding around and watching the procession of corpses shouted and tried to retreat, but there were too many people gathered.

Kwaaak!

The corpses rushed toward the people. The corpses climbed on top of the living and bit their necks. Fortunately, this was Dudek.

Among those who had gathered were mercenaries, who quickly drew their weapons and swung them.

But as the corpses spread into the alleys in all directions, screams began to echo from all directions. Benio stopped in his tracks as he saw the corpses running after the people who were running past him.

‘That’s.’

“Sun, give peace to the poor!”

Hwaaaaak!

Divine power emanated from the body of the priest Brian. Then, the corpse that was rushing towards him screamed, smoke rose, and fell down.

After confirming that the body was not moving, Father Brian shouted at Benio and Ambulan.

“Help me stop the scattering of undead! We must prevent them from entering the city!”

The mercenaries were struggling with the corpses, but they were also having a hard time with the corpses. The corpses, which were incapable of feeling pain and tireless, and greedy for human flesh, continued to attack even when cut and stabbed with weapons.

“Cadet Benio!”

Amblan shouted at Benio, who was dazed. But Benio remained motionless, his gaze fixed on the corpse as if possessed by something.

Flutter.

The corpses that suddenly came back to life and began to seek out the living were of all ages and genders, but they had paper written in blood stuck to their foreheads.

“That’s… a zombie, isn’t it?”
