The Necromancer Who Was Despised - The Necromancer Who Was Despised chapter 297

Its shoulder height is that of a two-legged ogre, making it larger than a truck.

However, the current Black Sun is even bigger than that. So, it’s a futile effort, but soon, a strong suction force emerges from the wolf’s mouth, as if mocking my thoughts.

The Black Sun subtly changes direction towards the wolf.

It’s an astonishing sight. But that’s all. The wolf can never swallow the Black Sun.

The Black Sun, which was being pulled, ignores the wolf and flies straight forward.

Perhaps that’s why the divine beast appears to be charging towards the Black Sun, and soon, the wolf and the Black Sun collide.

Boom!

————!

The wolf is engulfed by the Black Sun, accompanied by a massive scream.

The sight leaves the two gatekeepers stunned, jumping to their feet.

-How can Dark Magic…!

Divine power is strong against magic.

While pure magic might be stronger, if the amount of power is the same, divine power takes precedence.

However, my current magic had a slightly different story.

It clearly possessed a divine power-related attribute.

It seemed that the god who had rushed towards the black sun earlier was a strong one, possessing the power to devour and eliminate the dark magic…

“Impossible.”

But the god was burned to death.

Although it didn’t immediately turn to ashes with its massive divine power, it was trapped inside the black sun and died a more agonizing death.

The wolf didn’t even prepare for the black sun, and as a result, it was trapped inside and screamed as it was erased.

The second guardian, who had a serious expression, moved.

Holding a large shield, it unfolded its wings and crouched its body.

With massive divine power, a golden light spread out, and another shield was formed in front of the shield.

The shield made of divine power had golden wings spread out, and simultaneously, the divine power was overlapped twice.

It was clearly a defense at full capacity.

It seemed like I was going to hand it over to Marius, but it suddenly flipped the situation.

It was originally a plan to make me take action.

The black sun and the divine power shield clashed.

With a strong light, the black sun exploded.

Kwaang!

The second guardian’s divine form was immediately repelled.

The shield made of divine power was shattered, and the flames of the exploded black sun spread to their domain.

The humans who were scattering divine power began to scream.

-This is…!

Dark magic is stronger than regular magic.

Even I, an 8th-class magician, had the strongest magic, the black sun, which possessed immense power.

And, I also had an attribute that resisted divine power, which was a huge weakness.

Therefore, from their perspective, my magic seemed even stronger than its actual power.

That’s why the current result was a greater shock to them.

The first guardian hastily scattered divine power.

Marius also poured out his divine power like crazy. However, the black flames didn’t easily subside, and in that gap, the interspecies alliance army advanced.

At the forefront, the elves utilized their spirits to rapidly charge forward.

Again, the magic of the pouring orcs and the high-ranking magic of the dragons, which didn’t hide its power, merged together.

The numerous high-ranking magics, scattered everywhere, showed another synergy.

Some priests who weren’t affected by the black sun hastily tried to block the magic, but it was a bit too late.

Only the humans were late.

Pahng!

The magics shattered and fell from the sky.

Dozens of gods rapidly dispersed, breaking and eliminating the magic.

The methods were diverse.

There were those who tried to devour it like the wolf, those who received it with their bodies and eliminated it, and cases where the magic disappeared just by approaching.

The magic used by the dragons was no exception.

As a species, the dragons’ magic was undoubtedly superior.

There were many mages, among whom some possessed extremely high magical abilities.

With a wide range of destruction.

However, the gods seemed to dismiss these magics, blocking the advancing army of the interspecies alliance.

The elves, beastmen, and orcs rushed towards the gods, but the gods ignored the elves’ attacks, reversed the summons, and trampled the orcs and beastmen.

Even physical attacks were ineffective.

It was a one-sided battle, making me wonder if the wolf that had easily died at my hands was inferior.

The interspecies alliance’s advance came to a halt.

And in that gap, the first gatekeeper and the priestesses filled with holy power unleashed a dark flame.

“…How dare you bring such shame upon us…”

Mariuse gritted his teeth and gave the order.

“The priestesses will assist the gods! The soldiers will prepare the catapults and ballistae, and the knights will support the gods!”

The knights, who felt even stronger than the soldiers, jumped down from the walls, as if they were prepared to support the gods at any moment.

The interspecies alliance, blocked by the gods, could not move forward, and the empire’s attacks poured down on them.

The orcs and dragonians hastily tried to block the attack, but the gods erased even their defensive magic.

Their appearance, as if they were rejecting holy power with a different kind of power, left the alliance bewildered.

The interspecies alliance, having lost one pillar of their strength, rapidly collapsed.

It was an overwhelmingly one-sided situation.

‘I have to take action.’

If I didn’t, the situation would become irreparable.

I had taken down the wolf god and was familiar with the gods, so it was only right that I took action now.

I immediately moved the undead, and at the same time, I ordered the dark elves to support the alliance from the rear.

“…There’s no choice.”

There was no resistance.

They must have felt it too. These people… were no help.

“The magic based on mana was easily erased.”

The gatekeeper said. This land had already been offered to the goddess.

Tinus also said that this place could no longer be considered a continent.

That was why the influence of holy power in this area was almost absolute.

It was no wonder that magic, which was weak against holy power, was useless. Even if I provided pure magical power, it would be of no use.

“This side doesn’t have magic with resistance.”

It was simply pure magical power from the magical realm.

Forming magical power using the magic I had refined was currently impossible.

According to my will, the large undead, including White Tanak and Gollum, began to move.

The undead knight corps of Entin and the ghostly knight corps of Ori were together, filling the gaps with thousands of mid-to-low-level undead.

The first gatekeeper was tense at our movement.

I had told Mariuse that I would take care of it, but I felt that our power, especially my magic, was not to be underestimated, so I couldn’t just watch.

Somehow, the second gatekeeper, who had returned, was gazing at us with a body that had become utterly disfigured.

Despite its blurry appearance, the equipment had not been properly restored, and it looked pitiful.

As we moved forward and the interspecies union began to retreat, it happened simultaneously.

However, if they were to retreat recklessly, they would only suffer greater losses, so Adias, the governor, stepped forward.

Although he was a Dragorian, he was close to being a warrior and, together with a few other warrior Dragorians, successfully blocked the gods for the first time, and then, with the support of another governor, Atalicia, he assisted the interspecies union’s retreat.

In this process, the dark elves managed to capture the attention of the gods.

The other gods also witnessed the appearance of the wolf god, which I had previously eliminated.

They might not have known the extent of my intelligence, but they must have realized that my magic was extraordinary, and therefore, it was only natural that the dark elves’ magic would capture their attention.

However, as expected, the dark elves’ magic was easily dispelled by the gods.

Still, we managed to create an opening, and the interspecies union was able to gain an opportunity to regroup.

“I didn’t think it would turn out like this.”

Not only did we have to face the gods, but also the imperial army.

The interspecies union, which was still reorganizing, couldn’t just stand by and watch, but it was indeed a heavy burden.

However, strangely enough, we didn’t feel too intimidated.

“I’ll take care of the gatekeepers.”

Tinus flew in and said so.

Even in his dragon form, it was clear that he was overflowing with confidence.

He, too, had felt it.

The new magic we had acquired was far more effective than we had imagined.

Even though this land was sacred and filled with divine power, its might remained unchanged, and the gods were unable to respond properly.

The reversal of the balance between magic and divine power made them anxious, and it instilled confidence in us.

However, in the case of Artina and Kayla, who relied on mana, there were aspects that required caution.

We had even joined Anelis with the dark elves, after all….

Of course, seeing Adias or Atalicia, who used mana, fight against the gods, it seemed that those like Artina or Kayla would still be effective.

The gaze of the tens of gods, the two gatekeepers, and the imperial army, who called themselves the holy army, focused on us.

“…Sorry. I’ll join you soon.”

From noble mtl dot net

As I was about to merge with the union army, Adias’ apology echoed in my ear, transmitted through magic.

I responded with a brief nod and immediately formed the aura of death, and then began to reinforce the undead at the front lines.

At the same time, I released my magic, probing the surrounding space.

“Even though this is a sacred land…”.

I revealed my weakness to my magic.

Perhaps, just like I had invaded the previous holy land, I might be able to invade this space as well.

As I showed off my abilities, one of the gods looked up and let out a wail, and soon, interference with my magic began.

It seemed like they were trying to stop my actions and disperse the aura of death….

Ha.

I smiled briefly and spread my aura even wider.

It seemed that I had the ability to disrupt magic itself, just like the goddess’s messenger who had been summoned through the crown on my head, but it didn’t affect me.

Even excluding my excellent magic control, the inherent nature of my magic blocked the interference from the start.

In other words, my undead would be invincible against them as well.

As expected, it was proven once again.

The enhanced undead, having finished their transformation, began to march on the ground.

Just like before, the soldiers on the city walls focused their attacks on my undead, and the knights who had been waiting in the back moved forward, with divine magic pouring down on us from above.

I smiled lightly, naturally waving my hand.

Flames erupted in the air.

The incoming divine magic was extinguished, and the massive rocks and giant arrows turned to ashes.

The scattered flames then began to converge into a single point.

My lips naturally parted.

[Overwhelming Terror]

A massive flame pillar began to engulf the divine beasts.

◈ Empire

A deer-like divine beast was engulfed in flames.

The massive horns on its head shone golden, forming a protective barrier around its body.

However, that barrier couldn’t block the flames.

The barrier was destroyed, and the divine beast’s body was consumed by the black flames.

Upon seeing this, another divine beast rushed towards us, while some others hastily retreated.

The approaching divine beast collided with our mid-tier undead.

A loud crash echoed, and the scene of the divine beast and our undead clashing in a battle of strength unfolded before our eyes.

The divine beast’s eyes trembled.

These divine beasts not only possessed the power to nullify magic but also boasted exceptional physical abilities.

That’s why they confidently charged at our mid-tier undead.

However, that was a miscalculation.

The divine beast caught by Taruk was quickly torn apart by the Death Knights and Race Knights.

———

The seemingly thick skin was sliced by the black, corrupted Ore Blade, and the divine beast’s body was mutilated, collapsing to the ground.

“It’s effective.”

Although the two administrators, Adias and Atalicia, had blocked the divine beasts, they couldn’t inflict critical damage.

To some extent, the inter-species alliance was fighting to buy time for their retreat, but Atalicia had also led the attack against the divine beasts before retreating.

Despite this, not a single divine beast had died, and they were only on the receiving end of the attack.

This was partly due to the divine beasts’ superior physical abilities, but also because their attacks were hardly effective in the first place.
