It felt like I hadn’t seen it in 5 years, but a face that I wasn’t happy with at all was looking at me with a familiar smile.
“I heard the news. Thank you for your hard work. “He is also my disciple.”
“How did you know I was here?”
“I can’t tell you because it’s my bread and butter. haha.”
He speaks with a calm expression on his face, leaving me speechless.
In any case, he was an extremely insidious psychopath.
“Seeing as you’re not attacking, it doesn’t seem like you came to kill me…”
“You’re killing me! “Why did I kill my disciple?”
At that time, Vivian, who had been quietly watching, drew her sword.
“Tell me your business quickly.”
“Oh my. I’m so scared of this, that I can’t even say hello properly. All right. “Let’s get straight to the point.”
Burial’s gaze briefly touched Luna and then fell. Could it be that Luna had some business?
“There was a topic that I had been personally researching recently, or even for quite some time. And it’s a topic that more wizards than you might think are interested in.”
His eyes were now directly focused on Luna.
“Maxwell is one of them.”
“Is the subject transcendental?”
“That’s right.”
Burial spread out his palms and made an ecstatic expression.
“What are we ultimately seeking? If you are a warrior, you have a body and more powerful weapons than anyone else, and if you are a wizard, you have knowledge and magic that can reach the truth of the world…”
“If you are targeting Luna, I would say you made the wrong choice.”
I didn’t want to fight with Burial.
He was not only strong, but also had unpredictable thoughts and movements, making him a very difficult person to have as an enemy.
“no. Of course, it would be a lie if I said I wasn’t interested, but I’m not stupid enough to start a fight with my student.”
“then?”
“Weren’t you looking for Hagel?”
No, how did you know that?
Anyway, he was a person with an unpleasant side.
“There is no need to be so surprised. “I already knew that Maxwell and Hagel were working together, so I just naturally realized that your next target would be Hagel.”
“There’s nothing to hide. you’re right. “I was planning to find Hagel.”
“I know Hagel’s location.”
Burial smiled meaningfully.
“His goals weren’t that different from Maxwell’s. Ultimately, it is a study about transcendence.”
“So what do you want from me?”
“Instead of giving me the location, I want you to kill Hagel. “I guess you were thinking of doing that anyway.”
I don’t know what on earth you are thinking.
Why did you come all the way here and say this to me, and why did you really want me to kill Hagel?
“You were stronger than I expected. No, is it correct to say that I have become stronger? “Anyway, since you defeated Maxwell, you can handle Hagel as well.”
“Are you not going to come forward yourself?”
“Really? Fighting with a high-ranking wizard like Heigel is a big risk for me. “I have someone to fight for me, so there’s no need for that.”
I was lost in thought for a moment.
To be honest, finding out Hagel’s location wasn’t that big of a problem, just a matter of time. As Burial said, Hagel was the target that had to be defeated anyway…
‘I don’t know what the plan is.’
Hagel’s plan was already known.
His role would be to summon the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.
So what about Burial?
“If Hagel dies, will the Dean of the Department benefit?”
“Haha, I’m not the dean of the department anymore. To answer your question, well, no. To put it bluntly, I plan to steal his research. In order to do that, it would be better for me if he died.”
As expected, it was a psychopathic idea.
I thought it was a shame that I was getting stronger now, otherwise this encounter with Burial could have been completely different.
“Are you just telling me the location?”
“If anything, I can go with you. “If our disciple wishes.”
I looked at Burial to get some idea of his intentions, but I couldn’t figure out anything.
“Just tell me the location.”
“great. “Well thought out.”
Honestly, what he was planning was less important than the Knights of the Apocalypse. Right now, it’s a matter of putting out the urgent fire and thinking about it.
“Hagel is now in the southern part of the empire. Among them, it is located in the Palesco Plain, the most intense battlefield.”
Palesco Plain?
Maybe it’s already too late.
Because the Palesco Plain was the place where the first knight of the Apocalypse, the ‘White Knight of Conquest’, appeared.
‘I couldn’t specify the time of appearance, so I tried to find Hagel’s location first…’
For now, it seemed like I had no choice but to go.
Anyway, as I watched Hagel specify the location, I became more and more suspicious of Burial’s abilities.
“Can you assure me that you are in the Palesco Plain? “I think you need to give me reliable evidence so I can move without doubt.”
When I took a look, Burial’s smile felt somewhat cold. Is it slowly reaching its limit?
“It’s evidence… Sorry, but there is no such thing. Even if you don’t believe it, it can’t be helped. “What is certain, however, is that it is I who wish for Hagel’s death more than anyone else.”
After saying those words, Burial slowly took a step back.
“I don’t have any more information to tell you, and since it’s been a while since I’ve seen your face, I’ll just leave.”

“Are you going like this?”
“I am confident that you will believe me and go to the Plains of Palesco.”
Burial grinned.
“I have a lot of doubts, so I would rather go and check for myself. “Because that’s who you are.”
“It strangely reminds me of someone. “By any chance, Burial, are you one of the Maxwells?”
“Some of Maxwell? “What is that again?”
Burial asked me back with a look of genuine ignorance. Since his behavior was so suspicious, I began to suspect that Burial was one of the Maxwells.
After briefly observing his breathing, pulse, amount of sweat, and constriction of his pupils, I shook my head.
“it’s nothing.”
“Now that I think about it, I really want to hear about your performance in defeating Maxwell someday. “I’m busy right now so I’ll go, but please stop by when we meet again later.”
With those words, Burial operated the engraved circuit and escaped out of the swamp in an instant.
‘What are they aiming for?’
In the game, I never paid much attention to him because he was tied to the Academy, but this is making me worry.
It’s already a time when there’s a lot to think about.
“Adrias, are you going?”
Vivian asked as she put her sword back.
I felt like I was playing into Burial’s hands, but I couldn’t avoid going because the place where the first Knight of the Apocalypse actually appears is the Palesco Plain.
“yes. “I will go.”
“okay.”
Vivian just nodded without expressing any opinion. Now that that’s happened, what should he do with Luna?
“Luna, when will you return to the territory?”
“Cromwell?”
“yes.”
Luna crossed her arms and then paced around me. She watched it quietly, but when she turned her gaze, she saw Vivian looking at Luna as if she were fascinated.
“Can’t I follow my friend too?”
“I’m not going out to have fun.”
“know. “We’re going to catch Hagel.”
At that moment, a murderous look appeared on Luna’s expression.
“Hagel led me into a trap, so I lost my mother and almost lost my friend. “I have to take revenge.”
When I thought about it, I was moving to prevent an extinction-level episode, but Luna had a clear cause. Personally, I hope Luna stays in a safe place, but I can’t force her.
“If Luna wishes…”
“But if your friend stops you…”
We looked at each other blankly as our words overlapped.
“Aren’t you going to stop me?”
“I want to stop you. Luna almost lost me, but on the other hand, I almost lost her Luna. Catching Hagel will be dangerous.”
At that time, Vivian spoke carefully.
“I will protect them both. So it’s okay.”
“Oh oh? Vivian~ It’s cool, huh?”
Luna said it jokingly, but Vivian’s eyes didn’t leave Luna’s eyes because she thought it was cute.
“Then I’ll trust Vivian!”
“You mean follow me, right?”
“huh!”
There was some hesitation, but I eventually nodded. I already knew all the weaknesses of the Knights of the Apocalypse, and I believed in my own strength more than anything else.
‘Corrupted wings and evolved Nickel are enough.’
In addition, the first place, the Palesco Plain, was a place where trials and tribulations occurred due to a fierce war.
It was a place where the true value of a necromancer could be revealed.
**
“I found it, Your Majesty.”
“······at las.”
As Xavier, with his machine-like expression, reported, a smile crossed the Emperor’s face. But that only lasted a moment, and he immediately gave an order.
“Call the Prime Minister.”
“yes.”
Soon Xavier disappeared and the emperor, left alone on the throne, struck his sword as was his habit.
“Come on, Hagel. We opened the table as you wanted. Are you taking it well?”
He muttered to himself and then remembered something that Xavier had found. It was because of the information about it in the first place that he was able to endure it without becoming impatient.
And that patience was also related to Adrias.
“Adrias Cromwell.”
By the time news of him was cut off from Portreon, he was so angry that there was nothing left in the imperial palace. Dozens of servants and blood relatives died as a result.
“But I don’t need you anymore.”
It was a pleasant day.
I was now able to let go of all the anxiety I had been feeling due to the slightest possibility.
Of course, it’s too early to be reassured until you see it in person.
“your majesty! Duke Hector Kazaf has arrived!”
“Come in.”
Soon after, Hector arrived and stood in front of the emperor, bowing his head.
“Did you call me, Your Majesty?”
“It’s time to put the plan into action.”
“Are you talking about a plan?”
Even as Hector spoke, he looked like he had no idea what the plan was.
“Insert contact into the scene. “We also leaked information to Lucifer.”
“Buh, already…”
SGENG!
A purple sword energy passed by Hector. For a moment, Hector could not understand what had happened, but then bit down on the pain he felt.
“Ugh!”
One of his ears was lying on the floor, lying pitifully.
“If Jim tells me to do it, I will do it.”
“I will do as you command.”
Hector answered clearly even though he was sweating coldly. Seeing Hector like that, the emperor got up from his seat and walked forward.
“Hector, did you think Jim wouldn’t know anything?”
“yes?”
“I knew right away that you harbored some impious feelings. “You seem to be on good terms with the first prince these days.”
“Oh, no. your majesty.”
Hector shook his head, forgetting the pain of having his ear cut off, and then bowed down again. But she felt like that wasn’t enough and soon fell to her knees and hit her head on the floor.
“God, Hector Kazaf! “I will never dare to be disloyal to Your Majesty!”
“Hector, I don’t care what happens to this place now.”
The emperor slowly circled around Hector, his sword still drawn.
“Jim will soon become a god.”
gulp-
Hector couldn’t even answer and just swallowed dry saliva.
Clap!
The Emperor soon bent down, stepping on Hector’s ear, which had fallen to the floor.
“But Hector, don’t you dare hurt Jim’s feelings.”
“I apologize…”
With a crawling voice flowing out, the Emperor grabbed Hector by his hair and lifted him up. Then Hector was able to make eye contact with the emperor.
Those eyes, engulfed in madness, were by no means human.
“I finally found the temple. “The temple where I will soon be worshiped as a god.”
He had become something that could not be undone.
