The Necromancer in The Novel Picks up Bones - Chapter 114
Only Noblemtl
Episode 114
Deep night.
In a dark castle, on a throne in the deepest part, a woman sat with her legs crossed.
Eyes that look straight ahead without focus.
– … … .
Beyond that view, I could see yesterday’s scenery.
As she waited in the coffin for blood to be pumped in and for her strength to be restored, she felt an intense power.
And the moment you try to react to it.
-Whaaaaaaah!
The fog covering the Busan area disappeared as an incredible force was released from somewhere.
The clear sky of Busan was revealed.
The sight of the red moon floating above it. Even the branches of the World Tree pulling down the red moon.
– Squeak! Kuuung!
The World Tree was the one who pulled down the red moon. And that meant that the World Tree had completely regained its power.
It also meant that the monster’s offensive was blocked.
It meant that hundreds of thousands of monsters throughout Busan were unable to conquer the city of Seomyeon.
Is that even possible?
– Squeak!
“Lord, Master! Outside… there’s light!”
The door kicked open and a vampire came in.
She was one of the members of Jinjo’s family who had been directly related to him by blood. Her eyes were observing the situation outside.
Light covered all directions.
– Kkaaaak!
– Gh …
“Ugh! My, my body!”
It was light flowing from the World Tree.
The monsters roaming the streets disappeared as if they were melting into the light. The light did not stop there, but continued to inflict damage on the vampires within the castle.
That’s what happened yesterday.
– It failed. Yes, it failed.
The woman, Jinjo, understood the situation and accepted it.
The presence of the servant Letum is not felt. He is probably dead. The other vampires are probably the same. The attack on the written city has failed.
And that too, very miserably.
– It’ll take a long time to restore the World Tree. Are you saying you shortened it? How…
There were more than one or two questionable parts.
Jinjo had no idea that this would fail. He knew that the World Tree was devastated and had lost most of its power.
Restoring that power requires enormous resources and, at the same time, a great deal of time.
Is it possible to shorten that?
‘It’s unlikely that the Emperor could have done this alone.’
Jinjo was convinced.
There is no way that the newly awakened Sword Emperor has the means to restore the World Tree.
If that were the case, he would have done so a long time ago. There is someone else, someone who helps him.
The one who awakened the Sword Emperor and helped restore the World Tree.
– I don’t know who he is, but he’s a smart guy.
Jinjo let out a long breath and raised his head.
A strange world appeared beyond the window. A sight she could not have imagined in her original world.
This place, Earth, is not where she lived.
‘I’m definitely dead.’
Jinjo was a fallen being.
A being that once possessed great power and ambition, but was ultimately defeated.
And so he died. But when he opened his eyes, he found himself in an unfamiliar world.
‘Why am I alive? Who saved me?’
I couldn’t figure it out.
For unknown reasons, Jinjo was resurrected on an unfamiliar Earth. In the past, she created the ‘Red Moon’ with the intention of destroying the world.
From the moment she opened her eyes in that unfamiliar world, she had one goal.
‘I must bring about the end of this world.’
As if someone had planted it.
Jinjo’s goal was to destroy this world, and unknown forces and the Apocalypse faction began to approach her and provide support.
– Are you being taken advantage of?
So, who is being used by whom?
As expected, I couldn’t figure it out. But it didn’t matter. Jinjo sat on the throne and smiled faintly.
– If I, a fallen being, can regain my strength, I’ll be fine even if I have to move while tied to a thread.
I need to get my strength back.
And after bringing an end to this world, he will do the same to the world he came from.
Because I must take revenge on those who caused my downfall.
– Yes, that’s right… that’s what it should be.
– Kurrururur!
At that very moment, the red moon shook.
Jinjo closed her eyes. The eyes scattered all over Yeonsan-dong conveyed information to her.
Red fog covering all sides. Monsters running rampant. And hundreds of bugs roaming the ground.
– Are you here?
Jinjo raised his head.
A powerful magical force was felt in the sky.
– Kkwaddudduk!
The ceiling cracked.
To be precise, it was crushed by an overwhelming weight. A huge sword that fell from the high sky literally split the castle in half.
Open ceiling.
– You came faster than I thought, human.
A formless black energy surged forward.
The sword energy that flew in at an unperceivable speed cut off Jinjo’s neck. With a thud, his head fell off.
But there was a smile on that face.
– Your greeting is rude.
“I’ve been waiting for this moment. The moment when I find the culprit of this whole situation and kill him with my own hands.”
– okay?
Jinjo’s headless body snapped his fingers.
Then the separated head melted into blood and bubbled with blood from the severed neck.
After a while.
– I hope your first wish comes true.
Jinjo’s head was regenerated.
As if it had never happened in the first place, as if nothing had happened.
The Emperor frowned at the sight.
– The second wish would be impossible.
Jinjo declared.
The moment those words were spoken, a huge amount of blood rose up around the castle and gushed out in an instant.
The blood formed a huge curtain.
The curtain that confines her and the Emperor.
– I am close to immortality now.
A huge number of monsters began to be born from the curtain made of blood.
And then the shadow of Jinjo rippled, and eight vampires rose up.
Of course, it wasn’t an ordinary vampire.
Everyone is a servant.
– You will die before you kill me.
Enemies roaring and rushing towards the Sword Emperor.
Jinjo laughed at Geomhwang. It was surprising that he came this far, but that was all. She felt it.
The current Emperor’s power is far less than it was during his prime, and he has not yet recovered.
“I am…….”
The Emperor also knew.
Could he kill Jinjo alone? It was impossible. He knew that.
One, I have something to say to Baek Sa-jun and Lee Hyuk-woon.
I won’t die before you come.
“I just do what I have to do.”
The Emperor grabbed his sword.
He opens the way to the future. He thinks it is his job to buy the time he needs for that.
– Kwaaaaang!
A fierce battle unfolded within the tent.
And in between.
– Ugh… … .
The sapling in the Emperor’s bosom began to shine.
* * *
While the Sword Emperor and the Hunters fought against the enemies including Jinjo, Baek Sa-jun ran through the streets.
Following him is Lee Hyuk-woon.
The dagger guided the two to where they should go.
“… … .”
“… … .”
There was no conversation between Baek Sa-jun and Lee Hyuk-woon.
There was no time to talk, because the monsters created by the Red Moon blocked their path.
Of course, the monsters couldn’t stop them.
– Kwazik!
– Ghhhhhh!
Baek Sa-jun’s followers and Lee Hyuk-woon’s blade dealt with the monsters blocking their path.
The two of them, having dealt with the monsters in an instant, continued to run down the street. How long did they run like that?
– Slurp.
The dagger stopped.
The problem was that the point where the dagger stopped was a ruin with nothing in it. However, neither Baek Sa-jun nor Lee Hyuk-woon were flustered.
“It seems like it was hidden with magic. Hey, isn’t magic your specialty? Try to figure it out yourself.”
“I know even if you don’t say it.”
Lee Hyuk-woon stepped forward.
Then, he looked around with his shining blue eyes and thrust his sword into the air.
Phew! There was a sound of something being pierced.
– Passs …
Then, something like a curtain made of magical power appeared and soon dispersed.
The shape of the building hidden beyond was revealed.
Lee Hyuk-woon closed his eyes and broadened his senses.
“What’s inside?”
“There are quite a few. About 400 people. I can feel the unpleasant presence of the bastard in the basement of the building, in the innermost part.”
An unpleasant sensation.
Needless to say, Baek Sa-jun sent the skeleton to check the exterior of the building.
“There are no windows. There are two entrances, one on the east side and one on the west side. You can see what’s inside if you go in.”
“Those inside the building are the sect of the apocalypse. Not a single one of them should be left alive.”
“I know.”
Baek Sa-jun and Lee Hyuk-woon made eye contact.
There was a brief silence between the two. Baek Sa-jun was the first to break the silence and speak.
“I’ll go east. You and I aren’t the type of people who can work together and move together, right?”
“We think the same way.”
Lee Hyuk-woon created magic.
Blue magic poured out from around him and transformed into a barrier that encompassed the entire building.
It’s a barrier that blocks entry.
“Don’t make a mistake, Baek Sa-jun.”
A thunderclap engulfed Lee Hyuk-woon.
Baek Sa-jun ignored him and committed fraud.
“You take care of yourself.”
Corpses rising from the ground.
The undead following Baek Sa-jun rose up. And without a word, who would go first?
– Ghhhhhh!
– Crackle!
The two entered the building.
* * *
State building.
The interior of the building, hidden by magic, was guarded by members of the Apocalypse faction and vampires.
They only have one target to protect.
“Is the bailiff not ready yet? When did you tell us to prepare to leave?”
“Well, I don’t know.”
He was an executioner, a soul-stealer.
He paid a heavy price for failing to take over the Emperor’s body. A price that he still hasn’t come to his senses even after a long time.
“If you don’t know, then find out! Go down to the basement and check the condition!”
“Oh, you know. The bailiff’s gifts are running wild. If you go now… … .”
“I’m going to end up like the guy who went there before.”
The soul stealer was staying underground.
And now, the underground was like a magic realm. His Gift had run wild after failing to take over the Emperor’s body, causing strange phenomena.
If you get close, you will lose your life.
“Well, there was a message. Things will calm down by the end of today, so get ready to leave.”
“Tsk, when did you finish preparing?”
Woochan Lee, a member of the Apocalypse Force, bit his lip. He wanted to leave this place.
The problem is that without the soul stealer, there is no way to escape the veil surrounding Busan.
Because Jinjo won’t allow it.
“If there had been another bailiff… … .”
“Well, Commander, aren’t you coming back?”
“He went to another place. Did he ever think things would turn out like this?”
Before the Soul Reavers arrived, they were led by another executor, the .
Now he has handed over command to the soul raiders and gone to another area to do some groundwork.
There was no way.
“… I have no choice but to believe that things will calm down within today. What are those vampires doing?”
“I’m resting. I heard that I was hit by that strange light yesterday, but I don’t know.”
“Okay. You guys check the luggage. The rest of you, check the escape route and keep a lookout!”
Following Lee Woo-chan’s words, the members of the organization dispersed.
Since it’s a building hidden by magic, no one will come, but that doesn’t mean you can’t play around.
The gang began patrolling the building.
“Damn, I thought it would be over quickly.”
“That’s right. I didn’t know it would drag on like this. If only the Emperor, that guy, had gone according to plan… … .”
“If only that had been successful, I would have left here a long time ago.”
The patrolling members grumbled.
It’s been quite a while since I’ve been stuck in Busan. If I had known this would happen, I would have followed the and left.
The organization members swallowed a sigh.
– Ugh… … .
“What is this?”
As they walked down the passage, the members of the organization heard a sound. It was like a sick person groaning.
The crew looked to where the sound came from.
A terribly dark passage.
There was someone standing there.
– Ghhhhhh!
“Oh, undead!”
Ghouls that ooze venom from their entire bodies.
The moment the members of the organization became aware of their presence, the ghouls rushed forward. Those who saw their speed were astonished.
“What, the speed… …!”
“Gasp, ewaaaah!”
– Phew!
The venom ghouls that had rushed in at an unbelievable speed exploded at the same time. The explosion, strengthened by the effect of , swept across all directions.
The venom that came out with it engulfed the members of the organization, instantly melting their bodies.
– Chew!
The members of the organization were screaming and dying. Baek Sa-jun walked out through the poison covering all sides.
“Move.”
The undead follow him.
An army of the dead ran down the passage.
“Kill them all, don’t leave a single one alive.”
A moment later, a scream rang out.
