Only I Am a Necromancer
chapter-488-30041322

Yes, that was true. There is no Necromancer in Asadal right now.

It had been 23 days since he was away from it for some reason.

His absence was strictly confidential, but it leaked through unknown channels.

After that, the Originals began to launch outright terrorist attacks over the past several days because the World Tree camp was weaker than ever without the Necromancer.

"Yes, this is an opportunity we will never see again."

A loud voice resounded through the abandoned factory.

Squeak-

A half-torn iron door opened, and somebody entered the factory illegally.

"Welcome, judge!"

Those waiting in the factory stepped aside to the left and right, and the one who came in with heavy steps, a Hispanic man wearing sunglasses, appeared. And a bald man greeted him and said, "Welcome, Judge. I'm sorry for greeting you at this shabby place like this…"

"Is that the guy you mentioned?"

The man called "judge" pointed to a prisoner tied to a pole by nodding.

The prisoner had his hands tied, and given the purple chain icon floating on the rope, it looked like he was bound with a magic item. By design, he could never be freed from it. So the judge approached the prisoner.

"Yes. He is the commander of the Tree Guard."

The prisoner was none other than Hanho, the commander of the 'Tree Guard' that protected Asadal, the city where the World Tree was growing.

"..."

Hanho was on his knees, with his head down deeply. It didn't look like he was hurt, but did he pass out?

However, the man in sunglasses didn't care about it, approached him, and looked closely at the back of his head.

"You tied his hands well and retrieved all the items from him, right?"

"Of course."

Even though Hanho was tied up, the man couldn't let down his guard. He knew that after all, Hanho was the 3rd strongest player in the Korean server rankings. What's more, he was one of the only 11 players equipped with 'divine power' that existed in the world. If he was allowed to run wildly after being freed, it would be impossible for them to have him under control by themselves.

So Adrian, the judge from the Spanish server, examined Hanho while holding his breath as much as possible.

'Honestly, I can't be his rival yet.'

Adrian was ranked 3rd in the Spanish server, and he was one of Europe's best ice wizards. But he was well aware that he could not dare rival those on the Korean server.

What's more, Hanho was the guy equipped with Hyunmoo, ranked as one of the best players on the Korean server.

'But he is defenseless because they took his items and tied him down, so he can't use any skills.'

So the judge double-checked that they tied Hanho's arms tightly. He knew that

Hanho had six arms.

'But he doesn't have a cloak, so we're fine."

He could use six arms only by the power of the 'Asura's Cloak' item, so it would not be possible for him to use his arms since they took all his items.

"Alright…"

After rolling his eyes quickly and thinking hard about various factors, Adrian, who had been tight-lipped, opened his mouth.

"Okay, I see one of the heroes of the World Tree camp finally tied in front of me like this!"

A member of the Originals brought an iron chair behind him.

He sat down on the chair, crossed his legs arrogantly, and looked down at Hanho.

"Alright, Turtle! My name is Adrian, one of the judges of the Originals."

But Hanho couldn't answer because he had a gag in his mouth.

Adrian shoved his hand into his pockets, then raised his head.

He continued, "We're going to have plenty of time to talk between us because I've got a lot of questions for you. I'm very curious about where the Necromancer is right now, and what the heck he is doing. You know that, right? If you don't have the Necromancer, we can…"

Crunch!

At that moment a strange noise was heard, followed by a brief silence.

Tilting his head, the judge looked back at the members of his organization.

They did not seem to understand what that noise was, so the judge continued as if nothing happened.

"Let me pick up where I said last. Everybody knows that without the Necromancer, you guys would collapse quickly. Today might be your last day for survival…"

Crunch!

"Ugh? Well, I already know that even Valkyrie went out to kill the raid boss monster born in Australia! That's your limit. Instead of relying on your determination and conviction, you guys try to rely on the game system that came in from the outside..."

Crunch!

A strange noise kept ringing, so Adrian's eyebrows twitched. He turned his head and looked at the gang member on standby.

"What the heck is that noise?"

The members of the Originals looked at each other.

"Ah, well…"

All of them were on alert when they heard a strange noise repeatedly.

Crunch!

The same strange noise was heard again. This time it was less jarring than before.

"Ugh?"

At that moment, Adrian and his men turned their heads toward the source of the sound.

It was Hanho, the prisoner tied to the pole.

"Hahaha! I've been caught!"

Hanho looked up at Adrian and smiled at him.

Crunch!

An unidentified hand coming out from inside Hanho's jacket was secretly taking out the gag from his mouth, and another hand that passed over his shoulder was putting a fistful of popcorn in his mouth.

Crunch! Crunch!

Adrian and the Original members now began to understand why Hanho had been lowering his head. They frowned right away.

"What the heck is this?"

Tung!

Stunned, Adrian stepped back, knocking over the iron chair. He took off his sunglasses, looked at Hanho, and pointed a finger at him.

"Man, he's got arms! You guys said you had taken all his items, right?"

Hanho's real arms were tied with magic, so two more arms protruded from his behind.

"Ah? We have confiscated his cloak!"

One of the members protested, turning his head.

Several Hanho's items were placed on the dusty old desk, and about a dozen members of the Originals were guarding them. The cloak was there.

"I'm sure!" he argued.

At that moment, Hanho opened his mouth with a grin.

"Brother Inho, can you hear that? I succeeded in eating that popcorn 4 times! Didn't I win? As promised, you have to give me 2 high-definition photo books of succubus. Hahaha…"

Hanho seemed to be talking to someone. Then he looked at Adrian and smiled bitterly.

"Man, I felt as if I would have an upset stomach because I had to chew popcorn with my head down! Well, it was thrilling anyway. You guys had experience eating snacks sneakily at school when you're children, right? Well, that reminds me of those young days!"

Suddenly, four arms crawled out from behind his back. And then they untied the ropes around his body! Since he was sort of a priest, it seemed that he could use the skill 'Charm Dispel'.

"Ugh?"

Watching the prisoner rising after freeing the shackles by himself, all the members of the Originals in the abandoned factory were stunned.

"Uh, how could he…."

But Hanho stretched out leisurely. A black tattoo could be seen on the skin on the back of his T-shirt. It was in the shape of a palm.

"I find this a bit strange too. I didn't know I could use this tattoo with a tattoo!"

Advanced 'magic engineering' made things beyond humans' common sense possible. It developed by combining various technologies and disciplines, and 'magical biology' was one of them.
