The Barbarian Became a Necromancer

026.

It feels like your heart is dropping.

I denied everything I felt.

All sorts of reasons come and go.

Among them, only the most convincing reasons were followed.

‘The professor said. Lokram is sick. If the reason is black magic erosion.’

case exists.

There were enough cases where humans who had black magic instead of magical power served the demon lord and joined the demon lord’s army.

Even among the warriors, those who defected deal with black magic like that.

And my mother too… .

‘no.’

I shook my head to shake off my anxiety.

There was no way that Lokram had turned away for no reason.

Moreover, there was no reason to serve the demon king.

‘Because he said he hunts warlocks and burns forbidden books.’

Leah has come to a certain conclusion.

For some reason, Lokram was eroded by dark magic.

That’s why he left the party and went south to find the cure.

I had no choice but to think so.

In the process, going to one’s hometown, in the worst case, would be to meet the end there.

‘You still only think of others.’

A journey to die alone when completely eroded by black magic and losing one’s self.

In order not to face such an end, Lokram was wandering.

In order to meet them three years later, on the red land, in good shape.

‘I’ll trust you.’

Because you lifted up the self who hated humans and even closed the door of emotions.

Leah made up her mind.

“Professor, let’s go find Lokram.”

Since he was in my eyes, I was thinking of meeting him this time.

And after being convinced, this time he thought of reaching out first.

At that time, like the first meeting at the academy.

“Leave the pursuit of Lokram to me after arriving in the fantasy world.”

“huh.”

As the confusion subsided, the hesitation in action disappeared.

Leah opened the passage as if tore off the remnants of black magic.

Through this road, Lokram headed to the fantasy realm.

It’s the same passage, but the place where it falls is unknown.

‘The fantasy world is a place where confusion is everywhere.’

Leah recalled the 2 volumes of Gantrion’s secret book of experiences she had read in the White Horse Tower.

The book, which had not come out of the world, contained all the secrets hidden behind the Hwansurim.

Fantasy world was one of them.

“professor.”

“yes?”

Leah stopped her just as she was about to put her hand down the aisle.

“You have to hold hands. If you don’t stick to it, it will fall somewhere else.”

“Oh, is that so? Then you don’t fall where Lokram was.”

“huh. Can you still find it?”

“Have you forgotten who the professor taught you tracking was?”

“I am not stupid.”

“So believe me.”

believe it

A deep voice lingers in my mind at her words.

Leah shook her head.

Because there was only one person in the world that he wanted to believe in.

That’s why he was at the Aden party, and Seira was only a person to meet him right away.

So Leah quietly raised her mouth.

***

Confused.

It was the impression I felt when I saw the fantasy world for the first time.

“Oooh, ooh!”

Bella, who arrives with them, vomits.

I quietly swallowed the bitter water.

Having already experienced teleporting, the dizziness subsided after a while.

Rather, what does this environment mean?

Why do land masses float in the sky?

What is this air current flowing on the floor?

It looks like magic.

But it was heterogeneous.

The color defined by magical power is blue.

The airflow in front of me was five colors.

It was as if the mana possessing the five elements were separated according to each elemental power.

‘Am I sure they were separated?’

It didn’t take long for speculation to turn to certainty.

This is because it was confirmed that all attributes were separated when you put your hand on it and increase the magic response.

“Kheuk. Hey, isn’t this the fantasy world Locke-sama talked about?”

“Would you like to go back now?”

“uh… It’s still fine. Yes, it is pretty and nice to look at.”

Right now, as she said, it’s peaceful.

There was also a taste of seeing the mysterious environments that cannot be seen in the present world in various ways.

But I was simply lucky to be able to watch it so peacefully.

“Look over there.”

“where… hehehe Ta, isn’t the ground on fire?”

Among the elemental powers separated from magic, only the fire attribute is condensed.

Trees and vines were wriggling madly beside the constantly burning landmass.

“What is all that? The ground next to it is raging with a gust of wind. It’s not even a fuss.”

“It is a land where separated property powers are condensed. At least we have been moved to a land where the Five Elements are stable.”

“Are you lucky?”

“You could survive there, but you’re less injured.”

“phew… .”

Bella let out a sigh of relief and soon sent a worried look.

You seem to have the idea that you can’t, but that’s right.

“We will go downstairs.”

“You mean going underground?”

“no.”

I pointed behind her.

Only then did she forcefully turn her creaking neck and look behind her.

I hit my butt at the sight of a gust of wind blowing ceaselessly into the sky.

“Hee! hurricane!”

“Don’t make a fuss about it because it won’t attack you.”

“Then why did you show me that when you said you were going down?”

“Because I’m going down on that.”

Even though it looks spacious, this place is not the ground.

I swallowed my words and looked at Bella.

Her face had long since become contemplative.

“Eh, if I knew it would be like this, I would just go back… .”

It’s a belated regret, but it’s already here.

It is impossible to come back now.

“It would be impossible to stay here, right?”

“Do you think it will be safe?”

Occasionally I hear the cries of the goose.

Bella looked up at the sky, shrinking her neck.

Seeing the giant current circling, she sprang to her feet.

“Let’s go.”

It should be like that.

***

It was easy to ride down the gusts.

It is mana whose cohesion has weakened as much as it has been separated into five attribute powers.

It was easy to be swayed by my mental power, so it was easy to control the output of the gust.

“Is it fun?”

said Bella, her face flushed with pleasure.

I wonder if he is the child whose parents in his hometown made a will after he died.

“It wouldn’t have been fun to ride without my help.”

It must have soared into the sky and then fell out of the range of the gust of wind.

Bella, who seemed to be imagining it for a moment, shuddered and looked around.

“uh?”

Doubts and exclamations.

The reason could be guessed at once.

“Is the environment similar to that of the Hwansurim?”

“In a way, this place is also a phantom forest.”

“Then I think I can help.”

Bella grinned.

It seemed that the spirit of work was demonstrated by sneakily taking the lead.

I brought it because I was afraid that if I returned it, I would die.

I think doing this well will help.

In the meantime, her wayfinding skills seen in the Hwansuri Forest were at a high level.

He has never deviated from the direction to his destination, and his skill at distinguishing between poisonous and medicinal herbs is unusual.

It was an impossible skill without tolerable botanical knowledge.

The map pioneered in a straight line to the destination was explaining this.

“Can you find the sanctuary of Gantrion?”

“Is there anything special about it?”

When asked by Bella, who was tinkering with the soil, I thought of a set book.

It is a characteristic of the sanctuary… .

What comes to mind is the appearance of the building and the surrounding landscape.

Oh, and then I saw that there was.

“Gloruncho.”

“Gloryncho?”

“There are a lot of them in the Sanctuary. Even with flowers in full bloom.”

“It was the first time I knew that flowers bloom on haloflower. Anyway, if you track it down, the sanctuary will come out, right?”

“Can you track it?”

“Sure.”

It was also good to stab him once.

Bella shouted confidently and immediately put her face on the ground.

His nose is about to touch the dirt.

She kept a narrow distance and twitched her nose before finally raising her head.

“hmm? aha. You grow up like this?”

This time, I look at the vegetation of the plants and think and judge by myself.

It didn’t seem necessary to intervene.

Bella seemed to have an excellent answer.

“This way.”

“Are you sure?”

“If the environment is the same as that of the Hwansoorim, that’s for sure. Flora blooms in the south, and these flowers only bloom a lot in the south for photosynthesis.”

“Go ahead. Don’t worry about the risk.”

As long as the path to go is decided, there is nothing to be afraid of.

So we made our way through the forest.

***

What are you doing?

The first impression I felt was that it was clear and clear.

Bella silently glanced at Locke following her.

After arriving in the fantasy realm, it takes several hours to set up a clear path and move.

He stopped every once in a while to look around.

It seemed that he was tired, so his actions were cautious.

Bella soon noticed that it was an act of confirming an unknown danger.

‘It’s not enough to know the fantasy world that even the guild leader who has been here for over ten years doesn’t know, you know the sanctuary of Gantrion very clearly.’

He is the one who sees through the secrets of the phantom forest.

At the same time, since we don’t know the topography of the phantom forest, we have no choice but to question it.

It’s not like it’s intended to be something stupid.

Because his actions were far from evil.

‘He saved me from fainting from the highest level of monsters.’

He could have been frightened and run away.

But Locke didn’t.

Rather, the monster was dealt with without a single wound.

It meant great strength.

In addition, after arriving in the fantasy world, he even adjusted the gusts to his liking.

‘no way!’

At some point, Bella realized something.

This is speculation, but it has been cemented with near certainty.

‘Are they descendants of Gantrion?!’

If that’s the case, it makes sense.

According to the travelogue, he died without any heirs.

He was only enshrined in the sanctuary as a belated recognition of his merits, and he was nothing more than an explorer who lost his luster in his lifetime.

What if he had descendants?

What if his descendant, Locke, was going to the Sanctuary of Gantrion on some business?

‘This is a great achievement!’

Bella had a hunch.

That he was pioneering the way to the Sanctuary of Gantrion, which he thought was lost.

Even with someone who knew the Sanctuary suspiciously well, and who might be his descendant.

‘But this isn’t something I’ve accomplished alone.’

Wealth and honor fall to pioneers who have pioneered a new path.

The passionate support and support of many people who use the road is pouring.

However, this achievement was not accomplished by Bella.

If I had to split the stakes, it would be about 9.8 to 0.2.

Because he only led Locke to the blue light he considered a milestone.

‘Still, where is 0.2?’

At first, I thought of announcing the path to the Fantasy World and the Sanctuary when he left the city.

It was because of simple greed.

But that was only a fleeting thought, and Bella immediately put her desires aside.

‘I can’t do anything to a benefactor who helped me.’

So I should at least ask.

For now, I’ll have to finish this quest safely and make an impromptu suggestion.

Something came into Bella’s eyes as she was organizing her thoughts and making up her mind.

The huge and majestic stone structure remained intact, only covered with moss.

The haloweeds that bloomed around it were in full bloom, emitting bright yellow light.

“I found it!”

Bella screamed in exhilaration.

The Sanctuary of Gantrion, which no one has found for decades, is right in front of you.

Perhaps Locke is just as happy as he is for other reasons.

However, a cold voice different from her imagination pulled her back.

“Get out of the way.”

“yes?”

As soon as I start questioning myself, my body pulls back.

Before anyone knew it, Bella and Locke had switched positions.

over his broad back.

The beautiful-looking sanctuary gave her a different impression now.

‘scared.’

I don’t know why, but I’m afraid.

I felt as if I would face an irreversible ending if I walked inside.

Putting aside my trembling hands, I felt frightened by the seemingly peaceful scenery.

So I instinctively took a step back, and Locke and I suddenly met eyes.

“… … .”

He said nothing.

Just pretending to be silent.

Bella understood what he meant.

‘I have to run away.’

It was an unspoken meaning that he could not fight while protecting it this time.

Is there something stronger than the highest level monster in the sanctuary?

“I’m sorry!”

Whatever it was, Bella immediately ran away.

Disillusionment with his weak self, feeling sorry for Locke, and thinking that he can’t hold his ankles with useless jokes.

In a run full of emotions, they disappeared in an instant.

“Whoa… .”

Finally alone, I took off the mask of a wanderer.

It is not someone to look at while being conscious of the surroundings.

Judging by the black magic radiating from the sanctuary, the opponent’s level was above average.

The darkness shimmers at the entrance to the sanctuary.

An insidious voice flowed through it.

“I was wondering why the pet I left in the aisle died. It was you.”

The sound of footsteps echoes loudly.

The one who showed up after clearing the darkness soon was a farther look than I thought.

Priestly uniform in all black color.

Except for the neatly brushed back hair, her skin was completely white.

He was a pale man with no blood.

He was holding a book with thorns wrapped around it up to his chest.

‘It’s forbidden.’

The second purpose of coming here.

But where has he been looking since earlier?

‘Left arm?’

His eyes were on my left arm.

Thanks to the robe, the tattoo won’t be visible.

Still, he laughed.

It was truly bizarre to see him smiling while showing his teeth with a gentle expression.

Suddenly, a voice filled with confidence struck my ears.

“Are you fragments?”

Fragments.

Because I know very well what that means.

I showed my tattoo to a man who didn’t recognize me as a warrior.

“then?”

He seemed to like the proof, and he opened his hand holding the book.

On the palm of his hand was the mark he had seen in the letter from the principal.

“Welcome, comrade.”
