The Barbarian Became a Necromancer - Chapter 104
104.
It is a familiar dark space.
The sight I always see when I fall asleep in eternal sleep.
I didn’t feel bored or stuffy.
Because I couldn’t accept everything as a stimulus as if I was in a state of lyricism.
Del pondered the darkness.
You’ve met your second eternal life.
What’s behind this now?
‘Does I have to stay locked up here again?’
If that’s the case, I’d be a little sad.
It was like settling down in this lonely space again.
‘I don’t regret it though.’
Born as a Wood Guard, he reigned as a hero.
He fulfilled his mission by protecting his compatriots.
He accomplished that when he was resurrected as a Dark Elf.
Of course, it wasn’t something I did alone.
‘Strange human.’
At first, he pressured me with a slight misunderstanding, but he was willing to tell me the truth and give me a chance.
Thanks to you, I was able to correct my mistake.
‘His name was Lokram.’
hear for the first time
It must mean that time has passed and a new strong person has appeared.
Lokram must have proudly occupied one of them.
So, isn’t it that he made a great tie against himself?
Looking back, he was just.
I could see that he secretly cared for himself who was bound by his mission.
It must be because of that that he deliberately gave up the demon that took over Rien’s body.
And Elten, whom I saw at the end of my life again.
I will be protecting her instead.
‘Thank you, Lokram. It’s a greeting that won’t reach you, but thank you for respecting my mission until the end.’
I thought all of my compatriots were extinct.
Even if they survived as dark elves, they would have thought that everyone had gone insane due to the lack of a mission.
But no.

Just as Elten showed up and suggested the possibility, even now, somewhere on the continent, our compatriots will be born as other races and hold noble souls.
It was only a half-success, but with reincarnation, the elves succeeded in overcoming the curse.
‘Unless the soul disappears, the elf’s immortality continues endlessly.’
Suddenly, he remembered what Elten had said to him.
As an elder leading an axis of her tribe, she always looked down on her subordinates.
‘So, Dell. You value yourself too. It’s right to keep the mission, but what’s more important is yourself.’
It was the last conversation I had with her.
And when they met again, they couldn’t keep their word.
In the end, Dell chose the safety of his compatriots over his own life.
I am happy that it was Elten who kept it that way.
As the captain of the Wood Guard, I am grateful that I was able to use the short life I gained again like this.
So Dell laughed.
It was a comforting smile.

“Sigh. hehehehe!”
Elten sobs.
Beyond Seira, who patted her on the back.
I stared at the completely collapsed sinkhole.
‘If this is the case, the exit is blocked.’
I had no choice but to use the river to subdue Rimmon.
It became like I was trapped on my own.
Well, there is a way.
I’ve been chasing Rimmon, and I’ve known various ways, so I’ve packed what I think is the key to open the passage.
‘Fortunately, I don’t think he noticed.’
The undead operation hid the arriving party as soon as it saw them.
He intentionally left the cavity with only the monster undead exposed.
I didn’t get the corpse of Patrick Party because I didn’t have time.
What he was able to take was the Wheel of Reincarnation, Rimmon’s corpse, and Del Sernello.
‘I asked for a warrior-like death.’
I remember a conversation I had with her.
I approached Elten, who was holding Del and crying.
“Dell told me.”
My shoulders, which had been shaking from sobs, stiffened.
Slowly raising her head, she met my eyes.
“what… did you tell me?”
“They said they want to face their second death like a warrior.”
“Like a warrior. okay.”
Elten wiped his eyes with his sleeve.
I stood up from my seat without thinking to hide my burning eyes.
“I’ll leave my seat.”
Seira is taken aback by her changed attitude.
I was watching Elten and I alternately.
“Lokram? Shouldn’t it normally be buried or cremated?”
“It’s the culture of the elves. They are different from humans.”
“Then how are you going to handle it?”
“Can you please leave your seat?”
At my request, Seira bit her lip.
Then, reluctantly, he stood up.
“Please explain later. what happened there. and… About Luke.”
“I will.”
Since he worked with the doppelganger King as his stand-in, he should have pointed it out.
I nodded and hugged the chilled Dell.
“It won’t take long.”
“I’ll be waiting for you here.”
Leaving Seira behind.
I headed towards the center of the city, which had been transformed from a sinkhole into a giant pit.
death like a warrior.
The setting about the elves was included in the setting book.
A brief account of their lifestyle has been written, including etiquette for warriors.
‘Elf warriors hope to be buried in the hands of their comrades who fought alongside them.’
Elten knew that and withdrew.
It’s like having the best alone time for me.
It’s been a while since I’ve come back, but I’ve gotten rid of demons and been able to get rain.
‘Even if I go to Moro, as long as I go to Seoul, it’s a great place.’
He put his hand on Dell’s body.
I was thinking of using only soul bonds and cremating them right away.
This is because this place is not free from the curse of the devil.
“Wake up.”
Dark magic dwells in her body in a low chant.
Soon it came to extracting only the soul.
‘He’s asleep.’
The heroes he had brought out with his skills so far were noisy.
He went on a rampage, saying that a wicked black magician was trying to take him, who had lived well in the spirit world, by asking why he woke him up.
Every time that happened, we would instantly subdue and unite, but this time it’s different.
-… … .
Del Cunello was sound asleep.
So I thought of the bond we had just fought together and carefully bonded.
Bonding does not mean that you are completely tied to your body.
It’s literally a bond.
It was like connecting a string between my soul and the hero’s soul.
Even now, the soul of the hero bound to me lives well in the spirit realm.
I was just borrowing their secret skill as a skill.
‘This time, I will be able to live a free life in the spirit realm, not eternal sleep tied to the wheel of reincarnation.’
So it must have given her a new freedom.
Del’s soul entered the body.
Soon it flowed to somewhere higher.
The weakly connected string announces the success of the skill.
With this, I was able to handle the secret technique and reinforce that she dealt with.
‘at las.’
You have gained new strength to fight against the fragments.
There was no need for physical abilities to get in the way during battle.
The lack of firepower must have been made up for to some extent.
Roaring!
Finally, Del’s body was cremated.
Beside him, prepare for the next one.
I opened my inventory and took out Rimmon’s body.
“Did you think death would make you free?”
Again use soul binding solely for information extraction.
Rimmon’s spirit sprang from his gaping mouth.
A demon in the form of a huge cumulus cloud appeared.
As for the overwhelming sight and being summoned by my skill as a soul, I had the initiative.
-… what the f*ck is this
A pair of red dots blooming in a cumulus cloud.
It must be his eyes.
Faced with his wavering emotions, I sat down on a wide rock.
“Didn’t I tell you? The dead talk a lot to me.”
-no. no. I have nothing to say. can’t say anything!
the guy is freaking out
I’m trying to manifest my authority, but it’s in vain.
All attempts were meaningless as long as my dark magic held on tight.
“Stop spitting out information.”
If you extract the information, you will lose the soul, which is an essential ingredient for the undead.
I was willing to take that risk.
It was because it was more urgent to solve the question immediately than to turn the devil into an undead.
‘Obviously it was Gwangik. It might be that some kind of collusion has formed between the fragment and the bastard.’
Knowing is power.
It is the existence of a gwang-Ik that should be known anyway.
He was involved in the Dwarf’s resurrection plan, starting with the Dark Lord.
It was expected that he was also involved in the fragmentation plan.
How far does his breath reach?
‘I can understand that now.’
At the touch of my hand, Rimmon’s soul was terribly torn.
It takes the whole thing and absorbs the information.
His memory flooded in.
It is a condensed memory of hundreds or thousands of years.
I classified that convection-like memory as mental power and took only what I needed.
Soon I got what I wanted.
It was a memory that Arcane Magic Burst Down and Rimmon made a great deal of with a person considered to be a fanatic.
***
“It wasn’t this stupid elf bastard who totally helped me with my resurrection, but you?”
Rimmon patted me.
He glared straight ahead with bewildered eyes.
It seems to be visible to his eyes, but from my point of view, reading memories, it was completely dark.
‘I distorted my memory to hide my identity.’
He is a thorough-minded guy.
Still, I guess I didn’t know that there were people who perfectly read memories.
I could finally hear his voice.
“So it is, so it is. Why are you so hard to understand when you are good at contracts?”
it’s a cracking voice
It’s light, but the atmosphere inside it was never light.
Should I say that I have a spirituality?
There was a certain power in his voice.
“Okay, let’s do something with me. I gave you a body so that you can be active in the real world. So, you have to make another contract with me that your demons like.”
“Is this a double contract? refuse. I don’t listen to those weaker than me.”
After that, Rimmon was crushed.
He was crushed by Gwang-Ik’s feet without being able to resist once.
‘what?’
I don’t know what happened.
The scene changed and it was like that.
This must also be the result of distorting his memory to hide his powerlessness.
“Are you ready to listen now?”
“Big… .”
“It’s good that you’re compliant. Since it’s a contract, it won’t hurt you either. It’s an opportunity to get a better body than that.”
“what?”
This was something I knew too.
Rimmon’s plan to obtain Del Cernello’s body.
In other words, the contract with Gwangik was included.
“What I want is simple. Based on your newly acquired body, root your power in the Leheld Desert Region.”
“If that happens, no one will be able to cross the desert?”
“That’s right! Be a strong gatekeeper. okay?”
My doubts are gone and I am confident.
I thought of what happened in the kingdom of magic as a distraction and a waste of time.
‘Gwang-Ik is trying to prevent attention from being drawn to the South in a double-three-fold way.’
Its purpose must be related to the fragment’s target.
I focused on Rimmon’s questioning words.
“Why? It means you can summon the devil. Isn’t it a loss to use it to control only one area?”
“A loss.”
I still couldn’t see his body, but I could see his expression.
“Maybe I can make an artificial demon king, but it’s an extra business.”
The boy was clearly smiling.
“… Cram. Lokram!”
The memory ended there.
Tried several times, nothing changed.
The sound calling me raises my submerged consciousness.
When I opened my eyes like that, I saw a pale red earth instead of a desert area.
“Are you awake?”
“Thanks to.”
“It’s arrival. They say they left the Leheld Desert.”
She stroked Glaod’s back.
“No way, I didn’t know that even high-level monsters were tamed. Thanks to that, I can cross the desert quickly. thank god.”
purr. Shed a light cry at the gentle touch.
Anyway, where did Elten go?
When I lowered my gaze, I saw that I had landed on the floor earlier.
“I thought I was stuck in the desert dawn, but I’m glad I did.”
“If it wasn’t for Elten, you wouldn’t have known that the Wheel of Reincarnation was the key to opening the passage.”
“So. Even if that elf elder hadn’t known the identity of Lokram, we would still be crossing the desert on foot, right?”
“I guess so.”
“Ugh.”
I faintly shudder as I imagined it.
Then Seira tapped Glaod with suspicious eyes.
“He’s not supposed to be the Doppelganger King, right?”
Since I was labeled a monster tamer, it was easy to explain about Locke.
It was because it was enough to say that it was the monster Doppelganger King.
So, when she saw only monsters, she doubted it like this once.
When he insists that it is not Glaod, he finally withdraws his suspicious gaze.
I left behind the two of them and got down.
Elten turned around as if he had noticed my approach.
The girl who was saddened by Del’s death is no longer there.
It’s been a long time since I’ve been able to take care of my emotions, and I’ve been back to the cheerful look that I showed as a guide.
“Thank you for the ride.”
“What are you going to do next?”
“Since the wheel of reincarnation has also been broken, I must have fulfilled the mission I set for myself.”
“Then are you thinking of committing suicide?”
“No way.”
Elten smiled and shook his head.
“I got a new mission from the expression of Dell who protected me. Just as I suffered through reincarnation, my compatriots must be struggling somewhere on the continent.”
“You’re going to help them.”
“Probably hard, right?”
“It depends on how you deal with it.”
Elten was silent.
He spoke as if he understood something.
“It was packaged as a mission, but isn’t this the way to live a human life?”
“What do you mean?”
“There is no need to divide them into human and elf races. When you achieve something, find something new and keep doing it. I feel like this is the real way to live.”
“All human beings live like that.”
“Elves couldn’t live like that.”
As if it were his own speculation, Elten laid out his hypotheses.
“So I thought about it, and isn’t that why World Tree was silent? I thought that the elf could finally find a way to live a righteous life through the curse of the demon king… Did you go too far?”
“I don’t know.”
“hahahaha, just count it as a bit of nonsense.”
momentary silence.
I opened my inventory and showed the artifacts I got from the treasury in Alcardo Kingdom.
“This… Where did you get it from?”
Elten immediately expresses curiosity.
She seemed to appreciate this broken artifact.
“You elves must have preserved the artifact repair method.”
“Are you asking me to fix this?”
“If possible.”
He handed over Dante’s wedge and Marcas’ barrier.
They are artifacts in the form of a dagger and leggings, respectively.
It was used to found the kingdom of magic.
An armament that had as much power as the heroes used at the time.
Elten swallowed his saliva as he let out clear magical energy.
“Um, I’d like to fix it right away, but this is beyond my ability.”
“Then do you know where to fix it?”
Elten is an elven elder.
As he was in the position of leading and managing numerous people, he must also know the location of the workshop that produced the artifacts.
My predictions were right.
“there is. Our ruined city at the edge of the west. The workshop is hidden there.”
“But even if you visit a workshop, there won’t be any artisans who can repair it.”
“That’s the problem. ah! I feel like I have more to do with my new mission.”
Elten said he would find his father-in-law.
“Maybe there is a craftsman who chose reincarnation. We can find it with our own verification method.”
Are you thinking of making Del speak his true name, like when he was convinced of Rimmon’s identity?
“Then go to the Tower of Truth. If you reveal my name and purpose to the sentient hero, he will help you.”
“Can I contact him through him?”
“Do it.”
If only this artifact could be fixed.
Because it was a business that could be left to support her.
From Elten’s point of view, he smiled broadly, as if my help was welcome.
Looking at her like that, I asked one last time.
“Do you know about the disappearance of the monarch?”
The Moon Shaman I encountered while fighting the dark lord Morgus the other day.
I tried to hear the truth of the incident through her.
But the priestess knew nothing.
He advised me that if he was an elf, he might know.
That elf is in front of me.
That’s why I asked.
‘If I can know the truth of the case, I might be able to know the secret of the Demon King.’
Elten was silent for a moment at my question.
“If it’s about that case… I don’t know.”
“Why? Wouldn’t you have chosen reincarnation at that time?”
“It is because of the mission. I had no mission to see and remember the events taking place in the world.”
“Then I guess I have no choice but to find a reincarnated person for that part as well.”
“Sorry for not being helpful.”
is there any star?
I have no choice but to understand that the elves are bound by a mission.
“Then, let’s find the elven artisan and the elven historian first.”
Elten, who had a new purpose, said boldly.
Then, looking at Seira and me standing next to me, I asked.
“Where are you guys going now?”
Seira answered her question in reverse.
“What about Elten? I don’t think I’ll ever cross the desert again. ah! Do you intend to go to the border of the principality of Tehran in the east?”
“yes. I’m going to go up there by boat. We have to hurry as we have a new mission. Because I still have work to do.”
“Good idea. Me and Lokram… .”
Seira passed the answer on to me.
So I stared to one side.
A gigantic active volcano rising through the gray clouds, visible from a distance.
“We will go to Gelea Volcano.”
The 5 forbidden zones on the same line as Fort Lloyd.
There is one of the demon king’s fragments.
There will also be a library to answer my doubts.
finally.
‘Maybe Gwangik, who is trying to create an artificial demon king, is with me.’
He is strong enough to subdue Rimmon lightly.
Preparations are required as scheduled.
I have arranged all arrangements for it.
Maybe it’s open now.
meeting of heroes.
The time has come for the five heroes who defend the empire to gather together once again.
