Episode 95
Chapter 16 – Necromancer
Bing Heilang’s bracelet.
It is one of the works left by the progenitor of black magic.
‘One of the founder’s quest clear rewards.’
Originally, it would be an item obtained at a later point than now.
From the time I reached level 40, I learned about the existence of the Tomb of the Oath through various quests, and it was the specification of the game days to challenge it.
‘At this point, it’s a powerful enough item.’
scam in common words
“Is that the bracelet you got last time? I guess you liked it quite a bit?”
As I mentally reviewed the purpose of the bracelet, Emily noticed and asked.
That’s right, since I’ve been fiddling with this a few times since I’ve been back, I’ve been smirking at myself, so of course I’m concerned.
“that’s right.”
“Efficacy? Couldn’t you have just wanted a plain bracelet?”
“What is engraved on this bracelet is the contract ceremony with the work created by the progenitor of warlocks.”
“Work… … . Aha! That black dog you dealt with then.”
It should be called a wolf, to be precise.
“I heard that if you take ownership of this bracelet, you will be able to borrow the undead of the founder for a limited time.”
It has two main uses.
Bing Heilang’s Bracelet
《The proof that the power of the undead of the founder is enacted》
《Can be used only once a day》
《Effect activates selection of active/passive skills》
《Active: Summons the main body of Ice Heilang and inflicts a wide-area attack using the cold of death.》
《Passive: Overlays the owner with Ice Heilang’s demonic energy to temporarily entwine himself with powerful energy.》
Let it unleash a powerful magic attack once.
A benefit that enhances the owner’s power for a limited time.
“You have to choose well which way to write.”
“Which one would you mainly use for our cyanide?”
“Well, depending on the situation. This is probably what I use most of the time.”
In the game days, there weren’t many occasions to use a one-time super-powerful magic attack.
I usually miss the timing to use it.
“Personally, I think it’s much more convenient to use it as a buff.”
Tried to activate it.
《Activate the effect of the Bing Heilang Bracelet (Passive)》
From noble mtl dot com
《Passive – The protection of the cold of death is activated.》
The bracelet becomes effective just by pouring mana into it with a firm will to use it.
Black cold air flows out.
It was so cold that the grass beneath my feet froze and crumbled.
But to me, the owner, it doesn’t feel cold at all.
No, rather… … .
“It’s as if the fever is rising.”
strange sense of exhilaration.
Actually, the body temperature does not rise, but the effect of this bracelet is to be mistaken for one’s own will.
The cold air wanders around my body and permeates my body as it is, temporarily amplifying my strength.

“As expected, the strengthening effect is certain.”
“It’s a way to supplement the undead’s magic by overlaying it on Xian. … … How long does it last?”
“Probably 5 minutes to feel… … . It will be only that much.”
Once a day.
It’s a buff that lasts only 5 minutes, but it’s quite helpful if you think about where to use it.
It will come in handy in battles with boss-level monsters.
“By the way, buffs are oddly itchy.”
For now, I tried it out today, but my body is itching, perhaps because of the effect of the rapidly increasing status.
The body feels a sense of incongruity when it is temporarily out of the usual ability.
specifically.
“I think this is exactly what it feels like to not be able to control excess energy.”
i think i have to do something
It seems that I am not the only one who is itching there.
“Huh~ Indeed~ Indeed~ It’s thanks to the powerful demonic power overlaid.”
For some reason, Emily closely examines it with interest.
After staring at it for a long time, it gets closer to the point where you wonder if you can even smell it.
“Are you going to change jobs from succubus to dog?”
“Is it thanks to the buff? The powerful demonic energy is mixed, and the mouth waters in a strange way.”
What are you going to do?
Maybe it looks like a desirable prey thanks to the strong energy wrapped around it and strengthened.
“Sian, then, shall we waste our strength together with this older sister?”
It starts to tickle. what’s crazy
It’s not a buff that’s meant to be used like that, is it?
If the founder of the warlock is listening to this conversation in the underworld, he’ll grab his back.
“… … Let’s postpone it to the next opportunity in moderation. You have to go to class soon, don’t you?”
“Huh, I’m not saying I don’t like it.”
cancer! never say anything!
* * *
From today, it seems that the subject of the black magic class will change to something slightly different.
“Sian, what do you think is the true value of black magic?”
Today’s lesson in black magic class.
It’s still a terrible situation where I’m the only student, but now Professor Daniel doesn’t seem to care anymore.
I asked him once before, and he said, ‘I’d rather go all-in for one person that ended up like this!’, but did he really mean it?
He is someone who should never do anything like horse racing.
“The true value of black magic?”
“What do you think Xian?”
“well.”
Are you simply asking for game meaning? Or are we discussing the setting of black magic itself?
Well, I think it’s the latter.
“The difference between black magic is that it treats something completely different from public magic.”
The fact that black magic can deal with things that are not dealt with in public magic.
Unlike common magic, which uses only one’s own mana or catalyst to exert power, black magic touches various things and uses them as one’s own power.
Well, it’s a problem to use even things that shouldn’t be touched.
“One of them is Command… … . There is a theory that takes over the soul.”
It looks kind of crazy.
Come to think of it, did you say that Professor Daniel’s specialties are curses and necromantic systems?
“For that matter, it seems you haven’t covered the lecture on necromancy.”
“Because it is dangerous and delicate. Not just technically, but also humanly.”
Professor Daniel’s insistence was that he had to lay his hands on necromancy only after he had laid the groundwork and established himself as a black magician.
“I think the first thing to teach Xian now is the basic theory.”
“I am surprised. I thought you would emphasize necromancy.”
Isn’t it the old person’s feeling to want to snatch a newbie at any time?
“I would like to, but Xian has already chosen one way as a warlock, right?”
Even the same magician is divided into several branches in detail according to his specialty or major.
Attribute or research, battle or production.
The same goes for black magic.
As if everything went well, Professor Daniel began to explain.
“It can be said that black magic is divided into three major sects.”
At one time, black magic was overflowing with people who insisted on various schools, but from the time black magic was officially recognized in the empire, the various schools were organized.
There are three things left.
“Split… … . Are you dividing it into attributes or production jobs that you specialize in?”
“It is a different concept from that. The faction of black magic differs depending on who the black magician is working with.”
employment… … .
That is the greatest feature of black magic.
together with non-human beings.
Those who choose black magic work with the beings that ordinary humans fear or reluctant to work with and use as their own strength.
“Demons, spirits, undead. Usually warlocks choose one of these three.”
“devil… … .”
“I’m talking about this older sister. So, is Xian a so-called devil faction?”
Emily, who had been listening side by side, interrupted.
What kind of scoundrel are you to be called a demon?
They seem like junk mobs that will be wiped out in the beginning.
“I see. Since Xian was already ministering to the devil, he naturally started to stand on his own as a warlock who chose the devil.”
“In Professor Daniel’s case, that’s a command, right?”
“that’s right. It is a line that specializes in handling and controlling spirits or negotiating them.”
And the last undead. Commonly referred to as the Necromancer.
“These are the ones who rule over the skeletons, zombies and other undead and use them as servants.”
“Which one is mainstream?”
“well… … . In terms of numbers, undead are probably the most numerous. Then the necromancer… … .”
“What about the devil?”
“Unfortunately, as far as I know, I’ve only seen two warlocks who have ministered demons.”
and! I am rare! minority!
It’s a different treatment than the game.
In the game, demon ministry was treated as one of the natural qualities of a black magician, but when it became a reality, few people chose to summon demons because of the risk.
“Huh~, from this older sister’s point of view, it’s kind of disappointing. You seem to be falling behind ghosts and zombies.”
“I can not help it. This is because the work of the devil requires high basic qualifications. In a way, it can be said that talent is a priority system.”
“Then it can’t be helped! yes?”
Saying that makes me shrug my shoulders a little.
To sum up, I am a genius. Make a note of it.
“The problem is that training is difficult because there are not many materials as it is rare?”
“If that’s the case, don’t worry. Daniel. Huhuhu, can’t this older sister teach me directly? this and that.”
“Emily, what you teach is that I am very insecure… … . Now, I’m in class, so please stop doing other things.”
In the first place, today’s topic is not even demonology.
“Still, I think it’s necessary to at least learn the theories of other sects.”
“I guess so.”
I agree.
This is because there are many useful skills on the other side as well.
It would be useful to learn at least necromancy as a sub.
We decided to call it Japkae.
What we will be dealing with today is one of those three factions.
Something about necromancy.
“Necromancer is a theory that deals with the soul. It can be used as a sacrifice to raise one’s demonic energy as a catalyst or to activate special black magic itself.”
“Soul… … .”
This is where the concept of the soul was proven.
What remains after a creature dies.
Energy that is not a physical substance, but a combination of spirit and mana.
that it is the soul.
“First of all, in order to deal with necromancy, you have to be able to deal with the necromancer that is the catalyst.”
“what… … It won’t be difficult to find.”
Ghosts can be said to be representative of the ghost system by wandering around the forest right away.
It refers to creatures whose souls have been transformed into monsters.
“Is it ethically okay? The Empire managed to approve necromancy.”
“Oh~! It is also a common misunderstanding. What a sad misunderstanding.”
Professor Daniel put on a bitter expression.
“In any case, the spirit is different from the mental body that resides in our human body. We are dealing with the spirit, not the soul.”
“… … Is it the difference between wood and charcoal?”
“The analogy is a bit like that, but it’s not entirely wrong.”
If the spirit is compared to a living tree that has not been processed, charcoal is the product of roasting and processing its remnants.
“The saddest misunderstanding is that a spirit controlled by a warlock suffers.”
Those who criticize warlocks target necromancery and necromancer-type magic as their main targets.
Black magicians are harshly criticized for playing with the dead and saying that the body or soul subjected to them suffers infinite pain.
“A ghost is nothing more than a degenerate thing mixed with unclean mana, the remnants of the soul.”
“In short, even if it arises from a person’s soul, it is not the person himself.”
“None of the intelligence, memory, and personality of the soul exists in the spirit.”
The ghosts produced by the dead are not the dead themselves.
It is said that the soul loses its ego shortly after losing its body and permeates and circulates in the world.
The spirit was born from that remnant.
In short, necromancy is the use of by-products of the soul.
“Even under the current Empire’s law, anything that is classified as a ‘spirit’ is not held responsible for using it, regardless of its origin. … … On the contrary, if you don’t write it, it will be difficult.”
Otherwise, the whole empire will be teeming with unkillable specters.
“However, I advise you never to target the pure souls of non-spiritual beings.”
Professor Daniel emphasized in a stern tone.
If not, I want to do it somehow.
“I will keep that in mind.”
Just looking at it, I know it’s a death flag.
