Episode 22. Necromancer’s Tomb (2)

– He is a priest and a patriarch, I understand. I will call you Chief Nyx.

It would be a bit unfair to call him Chief and Priest Nyx.

It’s not like they share their parents’ last names.

“It is an honor, great being.”

[Nix has become a member.]

Another member of your household has increased.

– Please wait a moment, there is something I need to resolve.

“All right.”

Actually, there is nothing that needs to be resolved, but I just said this to take a moment to catch my breath.

To be honest, I’m mentally tired. I worked too much in five days.

Still, it wouldn’t work if we decided to rest for a few days and then do it. If you have nothing to do, you can’t just fool around.

– done. Let’s get started.

In my letter, I requested the Skytree tribe to go to the necromancer’s tomb. If you called me, you can say you are ready.

“that is… ”

Nyx, the chief and priest of the Sky Tree Tribe, spoke softly as if he was thinking.

“…The letter said that Malak was newly awakened. That’s why he said he didn’t know much about the land. Is that correct?”

– Is that a problem?

Nicks must have thought I was feeling uncomfortable, so he immediately got down on his knees and tried to apologize.

– no. There is no need for that. I’m asking because I’m really curious. Does that interfere with this?

“…Do you know what the Necromancer’s Tomb is like, Loa Malak?”

To be honest, I’ve only been there once in a game, but I don’t know much about it.

-What kind of place is it?

“This is where Charon the Exile, the greatest priest of all time, is buried.”

Gogeumjeil means all-time number one.

What is that? Isn’t he dead anyway?

It’s a setting I don’t know about, but I don’t think it’s that important.

“Charon is a traitor to Loa and his people. He mastered forbidden magic and brought great disaster to the earth.”

Nicks unraveled a bundle of stories like an old man.

In short, the Necromancer’s Tomb is where the person who caused the zombie apocalypse in the distant past is buried. The world was almost destroyed.

It is said that after the goddess Ishtania, who protects the empire, and the paladins who received her blessing killed Charon, they felt an ominous energy and placed everything related to him in a tomb and sealed it.

Ishtania… Yeah, that was the name. She was a very important character in the game’s story, but from what I remember, she wasn’t even seen with her nose exposed except in the prologue.

Some people in the community claimed that the game company that possessed us could be the goddess Ishtania.

The hypothesis was that we were not possessed by the game, but were in another world destroyed by the evil apocalypse.

I don’t think it matters whether it’s a different world or a game. Anyway, the same goes for the transcendental bastard who called us here.

– Does this mean I can’t go?

I have no intention of taking you by force.

Because the skills that can be obtained from the Necromancer’s Tomb were not of very high priority.

“Charon the Outcast hates the loa. The grave is where his hatred lies. This may not be good for you, Malak.”

The worry on his face doesn’t seem like he’s making an excuse for not wanting to go.

– Thank you for your consideration, but there is no need to worry. Can you go?

To begin with, I am not a real Loa. I’m scared of the one who fell behind, so it’s a bit hard to get rid of him now.

Even if zombies are strong, are they stronger than demons?

“If that’s what you mean… I have prepared for departure. “I could go right now.”

– That’s right.

As a portable mini totem, I became an accessory hanging from Nyx’s waist.

She led five of the tribe’s strongest warriors down the mountain.

Unlike the Blue Moss tribe, it was a place with a lot of demonic vision and infections.

I had to check my surroundings almost every ten steps.

“There are too many mutated beasts. “I’ll have to take a detour.”

Nyx, who discovered a group of over 30 infected wild dogs, tried to turn around.

No, if this continues, I won’t be able to go within today.

Even if you can’t help but avoid the devil’s sight, isn’t it still possible to catch the infectious agent?

– Chief Nyx, can’t you handle the infection?

Even if Nyx and the warriors had half the combat power of Kanto, they would be able to hunt them quickly.

“…It is possible, but the warriors may get hurt. “It will be difficult to get to the grave.”

– I will bless you. Don’t worry and fight.

There is a healing totem to use in times like this.

I activated the blessing, and immediately a 10 meter radius was colored with blue light.

“Ahh… !”

The Knicks and Warriors are visibly happy.

– Can you win?

“of course.”

Nyx and warriors with drawn scythes attacked the infected. The result was, of course, a landslide victory.

The wounded warriors were also completely healed.

The speed of coming down the mountain increased exponentially, and soon I was able to step on flat ground.

“Malak, we are almost there.”

– Right.

I entered the community with some time left before arriving.

Community is the only medium that reminds me that I am still human and my home Earth.

You need to connect regularly to feel psychological stability.

[Dairy cow bikini dance: Nickname: Damn Bastard Behemoth hahahahaha

First of all, me lol]

oh.

[Very Black Female Prisoner: hahahaha]

[You can’t move if you give me a massage: hahahaha]

[Ssangmun-dong Mamma Dispenser Destroyer: LOL]

[68-year-old Kim Jeom-soon’s grandmother’s final jet kick: LOL]

[Ultra Sanz going crazy in annihilation mode on a moonlit night: LOL]

I participated right away. Still, I am the most normal.

It was a time when I was killing time by watching the community.

“Im here.”

I turned my sights and checked the grave buried in the bushes. An old, small tomb that looks like it was built hundreds of years ago.

It looks small at first glance, but when you open the door disguised as a coffin and go down to the basement, it becomes significantly larger. It was like that in the game.

The grass near the grave is a little crushed. There are traces of someone entering. It was probably done by a user called Rino Johnson.

“I will go in.”

Nyx and the warriors advanced, cutting the grass with scythes. All their weapons were scythes.

I suddenly become curious. If you’re not farming, why are you holding a sickle?

– Is there a reason why all warriors use scythes as weapons?

When I asked him carefully, Nyx smiled bitterly.

“We are a tribe that has lived in the grasslands for generations. It’s a place full of weeds that are taller than people. That was until the demons became so numerous that they took refuge in the mountains.”

There was also a person who was originally a chief, but he died when he fled to the mountains. It is said that there was no warrior stronger than her, so she even took on the role of chieftain.

– …

I took a quick look at the tribe earlier, and the number of Skytree tribe members was less than thirty. There was such a situation.

I need to think about whether there is a way to help them. It would be nice if there were other tribes nearby that were still intact.

The warriors who opened the coffin and entered the tomb moved based on the blue light flowing from my body (totem).

As expected, the inside of the tomb was very spacious. It’s almost an underground base.

– Do you see or hear any hallucinations?

“I’m fine. “In fact, I feel like my physical condition is better than before.”

The healing totem was working well.

– Don’t get too far away from me.

“I’ll keep that in mind.”

As I went a little further, I heard a strange sound.

“Sooooo… ”

“uuu… ”

Nyx and the warriors moved quietly, hiding in the rocks.

The identity of the creature that made the sound was a zombie. He was also a soldier armed with a sword and armor. The number is twelve.

They look like the people who originally guarded this place. It seems like something sinister has happened here.

“Shall we dispose of it?”

Nyx whispered.

– If you cut off or destroy the head, it cannot move again. Be careful not to get bitten.

“Ha!”

Nyx and the warriors ran out and decapitated the zombies with scythes.

They could not resist much and lay down on the floor again. It’s a lot weaker than I thought. It was then.

“Sound, sound! “Ugh!”

A warrior who lost distance from me while killing zombies cried out, tearing out his hair. It’s an unexpected situation.

– Quickly bring him here!

Nyx and the warriors approached him. A guy who finds stability quickly.

As expected from the game, the monsters that appeared were weak, but the debuffs were strong in the area.

– Don’t stay away from me. I am preventing the curse of this grave.

It is an infinite debuff removal totem that continuously neutralizes the current abnormal status. You are safe as long as you are by my side.

Anyway, there is still a curse on the grave of someone who died a long time ago. How deep was the resentment?

– All you need to do is find the ‘Book of the Dead’ that Charon had.

In the game, you had to obtain the item to receive the skill. Let’s find it quickly and leave.

Nyx and the warriors took each step more cautiously than before.

Eventually, we found a place where the entire space was made up of murals.

The bookshelf in front of the mural was filled with books, and the following text was engraved on the central mural.

[The worshiper cannot understand the idol, and the idol cannot understand the worshiper, which is a chain of tragedy.]

It’s so ominous.
