The Necromancer Who Was Despised - The Necromancer Who Was Despised chapter 288

Due to its interference, I couldn’t complete the black sun properly and had to use it, and Tinus timed its breath attack perfectly.

It seemed that it had used a considerable amount of magic from its main body, judging by the amount of magic that was escaping.

I didn’t look at the result.

Instead, I immediately prepared the next magic.

[Realm of the Dead]

I had prepared this place to be the battlefield, so I had made thorough preparations.

I had built a gray structure to support Tinus’s magic, and since we had to block two attacks, the angel couldn’t interfere this time.

So, the Realm of the Dead was completed in an instant, and it rapidly expanded, engulfing the entire area at once.

A massive explosion erupted, but it couldn’t eliminate the angel.

-How dare you!

I raised my head, feeling the intense anger in its intent.

The sturdy defense had been destroyed, and its previously clean appearance was now greatly tarnished.

Its body was covered in wounds, and some of its equipment was destroyed.

At the same time, I realized its limitations.

“The crown…”.

The light was slightly dimmer, and there was a slight crack.

That’s a disposable item or something similar.

It’s not something that can be used easily, and there are many restrictions.

So, it’s only natural that it was brought out now.

-It can’t be summoned properly!

Then, Tinus sent me its intent.

I felt a sense of unease at its urgent and desperate intent.

Tinus’s reaction was even more desperate than when it faced the demon king.

It’s a fact that the angel’s power is not to be underestimated.

It surpasses Saint Iseul and even the current me and Tinus.

But we are two.

The dead souls’ territory, which had been activated, was also in a state of high alert.

Even if it’s fully summoned, we two can still handle it.

That guy has a clear limit.

Even if summoned, it’s not permanent.

It’s creating a temporary avatar using enormous divine power, and if the crown, which is the medium, loses its power, it can’t stay on the continent either.

In other words, if Perugin made a proper avatar and continued to stay on the continent, conquering this place, that guy is only making a temporary avatar to stay for a limited time and help with the battle.

Moreover, the crown seems to have a one-time-use nature, and it looks like a fake artifact with the worst cost-effectiveness.

“It’s not something you can make just because you want to make it.”

So, I wasn’t greatly intimidated, but only surprised.

Tinus also seemed to have noticed it.

But that reaction meant he saw something I didn’t.

So, I immediately ordered my undead and heterogeneous union to advance.

Take the crown!

There was no question, as it was clear that the crown was the medium and the angel was not ordinary.

“Block! Protect me!”

Achnid also shouted, holding a high box.

His soldiers moved, and the priests who came with them supported them.

The two formations clashed, and Tinus and I checked the angel.

It tried to interfere with our magic several times, and Tinus and I pierced through the angel’s interference and launched an attack.

An ordinary magician wouldn’t have been able to cast magic.

But Tinus and I were not ordinary magicians, so the angel couldn’t completely block us.

In reality, we had to focus on defense, being constantly pushed back, and the more we did, the more the angel’s body became transparent and unclear.

Furthermore, the expanded dead souls’ territory was also targeting the area around the angel.

-Damn it…!

What appeared before our eyes was a mistake.

Having prepared the dead souls’ territory to be used at any time was also a great help.

I finally understood Achnid’s words, that this was not the 6 kingdoms but the 2 kingdoms.

The angel was also drawing power from this land, which was familiar with divine power.

However, as the dead souls’ territory eroded the land and forcibly consumed its power, the angel’s manifestation slowed down.

As time passed, the angel became more and more transparent, and the crown’s light and divine power decreased.

“Ugh!”

“Die, you bastard! Die, I say!”

“You insignificant beasts…!”

A huge difference in level.

Achnid’s soldiers were decent, and the supported priests weren’t bad either.

But our side was the elite of the elite.

Although the Six Kingdoms Alliance, who had been continuously defeated, managed to survive until the end and fight, the supporting troops of the Neutral Zone, including the Undead and Dark Elves, didn’t need to be mentioned.

As a result, the Empire’s supporting troops were only able to unilaterally push us back, and Archinid’s legs were slightly trembling as he watched the situation unfold.

“Sa, sajasiyeo! Hurry, hurry…!”

Fear was evident in his voice.

The reason was simple.

Kayla was charging towards him like a madwoman.

Dark Elves surrounded her, capturing those she pointed out one by one.

Despite this, her direct charge towards Archinid was unmistakably a fearful sight.

Even if she acted like that, the frontline was still overwhelmingly crushing the opponent.

Orie’s Ghost Knight Division, Entin’s Undead Knight Division, Valdurna and Atina, the surviving large-scale Undead…

The heterogeneous alliance and Golun mainly targeted the priest side, and with the support of numerous mage-level combatants, including the Mira Priest Division, it was impossible to counter them from the start.

‘It’s like believing in a single angel…’

It wasn’t hard to understand.

If that ability, which restricted magic use, were combined with the unknown power hidden behind the scenes, it would certainly be trustworthy.

Especially if I hadn’t joined, a considerable portion of our forces would have been mages, making it even more threatening.

However, that power didn’t affect me and Tinus, and now that the dead’s realm had reduced the Empire’s endurance, their plan couldn’t be fulfilled.

Even in this situation, the angel didn’t give up. He tried to fulfill his role to the end, expressing anger and frustration while continuing to wield his sword.

But Archinid was different.

“What, damn it!”

He glared at Kayla, who was rapidly approaching, and the faintly visible angel, then suddenly threw the box to the ground.

“You! What are you doing…!”

“Shut up! You useless brat!”

“What did you say?”

“That angel can’t even block a single dark mage…! Unbelievable!”

He cursed the angel a few times, then immediately got on his horse, looking at Kayla, who had drawn closer.

“Let’s go!”

A swift retreat. The angel looked at Archinid, who was fleeing in a ridiculous situation, with a mixture of emotions, prioritizing astonishment over anger.

During that moment, Tinus and I didn’t miss our chance.

“…How dare you! How dare you, you insignificant human who hasn’t even received the goddess’s blessing!”

However, he couldn’t catch up to Archinid.

The crown was abandoned on the ground, and as it rolled around, the crown’s power rapidly weakened.

As Tinus and I continued to attack, he couldn’t do anything.

“Hurry! Pick up the crown! Is there no one? Move quickly!”

The angel shouted, but everyone ignored the situation.

No, they were even more demoralized, and some were already surrendering, abandoning their posts.

Those who hadn’t surrendered were also considering fleeing, and some actually tried to abandon their allies and escape.

Who would dare to pick up the crown in this situation? If they did, they would surely be killed without mercy.

Some priests approached the crown, but Kayla arrived a little earlier.

She immediately put the crown in the box and sealed the entrance.

However, a special method was needed, and the divine power still leaked out, so she immediately sealed the surrounding area with her mana.

“Ah, Goddess, please forgive us…”

The angel, who had been struggling, collapsed into our hands as soon as its support was cut off.

A grand magic was not necessary. From the start, we had the upper hand, and Tinus and I chose to relentlessly push forward, resulting in the angel being unable to do anything and ultimately falling.

As the last hope, the angel, disappeared, the soldiers lost all their will to fight.

Those who surrendered emerged, and those who fled overflowed.

We did not allow them to escape.

The soldiers’ physical abilities could not surpass those of the divine, and therefore, those who fled were either killed or caught.

“The angel, what an unexpected threat. Ashulin’s side is worrying.”

I also silently agreed with Bert’s words.

“If I hadn’t been here, this place would have been in danger.”

That means the other side also had sufficient power to counterattack.

If things went wrong…

“We might not even be able to retreat properly.”

That would be quite troublesome.

The management of the 2nd Kingdom’s territory was intended to be handed over to the 6 Kingdom Alliance, and simultaneously, we planned to put pressure on the Empire’s borders.

From the start, I knew that while fighting was possible, there were limits to occupation.

Although the 6 Kingdoms’ combat power was declining, it was still incomparable to ours.

Therefore, it was not my intention to create a power vacuum on that side.

“Ensad, the Crown Prince, should make a good judgment…”

Meanwhile, Atina, who had been absent for a while, returned with a man in tow.

“Let go, let go! Release me…!”

Achnid Moroto. Despite his desperate struggles, Atina’s average physical ability was above Kayla’s.

From the start, there was nothing Achnid could do against his master.

Atina threw Achnid in front of Kayla.

“A gift, Teacher.”

“Thank you.”

“I’ll take care of the reward myself.”

Atina spoke playfully, glancing at me slyly.

“Since the gift is to your liking, I’ll permit it.”

“…This is ridiculous.”

“Kayla-nim, what should we do with the captured knights?”

“They’re coming this way.”

The Dark Elves’ words prompted me to open a dimensional fragment.

I had temporarily created a prison and would assign a warden, making it impossible for them to cause any trouble.

From the start, it was impossible to escape from the dimensional fragment without my permission.

“This is the best prison.”

“Ka, Kayla.”

Achnid, who had been brought before Kayla, looked up at him and opened his mouth.

“I, I want to talk, Kayla. Oh, there seems to be a misunderstanding. Let’s talk, yes, let’s talk. If we talk…”

“There was something I really wanted to do in the past.”

“Ka, Kaila?”

“There were many disgusting guys, but you were the one who gave me the biggest discomfort.”

Kaila put away her sword and raised her leg.

“Wait, just a minute!”

Archinid sensed Kaila’s gaze and realized what she was going to do, so he bent his leg and stretched out his hand.

“That’s why I vowed to make you unable to do anything someday.”

However, Kaila didn’t care. There was a huge difference in physical abilities, so it didn’t matter if he tried to stop her.

Instead, she seemed to be expecting it and lowered her leg with a thud.

Quack!

“Kuaah!”

As Kaila heard the guy’s scream, she lifted one corner of her mouth.

◈ Empire

After Archinid fainted, Artina threw him into a place where other traitors were imprisoned.

She ordered the Specter Knights to monitor them, so they couldn’t do anything.

Therefore, they couldn’t even die as they pleased.

‘Archinid might die like that.’

Although they provided some emergency treatment, the shock was so great that it wouldn’t be surprising if he died immediately.
