41. Commander King Tesranak
Levin stared blankly at the scene before his eyes.
“… … .”
Absolutely ridiculous things kept happening.
What evil spirit is trying to take over your body, but it’s actually you?
But, you found out that your colleague, who you thought was a member of the King’s Order of the neighboring country, was actually a necromancer, and you saved him with the power of darkness?
And in return, he became a member of the necromancer’s retinue?
It’s already dizzying to this point, but the situation that followed is beyond common sense.
Sir Serati, who was being pushed by Dempis, changed his speech to that of a man and suddenly became the Purple Knight!
‘Red class became blue class and purple class overnight?’
There has never been a case like this in all the known cases of the kings of the past.
Not only Emil, but even his father, the contemporary King Galad, was not like that.
‘Who on earth are these people?’
Karnak, a wizard of the King’s Order who uses necromancy that is not at all inferior to the Archlich, the master of the 9th Circle.
Serati, a genius from heaven who suddenly jumped two stages of awakening.
Isn’t it true that Lord Baros, whom Raven rated the most, seems the most ordinary?
And that’s not the end of it.
Serati, who was in the purple class, suddenly transformed once again, emitting darkness from her entire body. Then, she defeated that Ark Lich, the legendary monster, with one blow!
‘oh my god…….’
Levin groaned as he watched the falling Dempith.
There was no reality to the sight before my eyes. I was just infinitely confused.
* * *
Baros’ soul leaves his body.
Serati, who had regained her body, fell to the floor.
“Ugh! Ugh!”
It was similar when I had my body taken over before.
Of course my whole body hurts like crazy because I overdid it so much.
If there’s one thing that’s better than before, it’s that now you can use auras to alleviate the pain.
‘Ugh, I have to go back, go back.’
I diligently used the aura and administered emergency treatment as I had learned from Baros, and the pain finally subsided.
Baros awkwardly scratched the back of his head as she staggered to her feet.
“Are you feeling okay? Are you in a lot of pain?”
Since they took your body without prior consent, if you have even a modicum of conscience, you can’t ignore it.
Sighing, Serati nodded.
“It’s bearable.”
“I’m sorry. The situation was so urgent… … .”
“Well, it’s okay since I’m alive.”
Of course, there are certainly people in this world who don’t even have that much conscience.
“Wait a minute, Serati.”
Karnak frowned and argued.
“You dared swear at me earlier?”
I still hadn’t forgotten the harsh words she had said earlier.
He has completely forgotten what he did.
But Serati’s reaction was unexpected.
Instead, she looks back at him with a big smile.
“You did well earlier, Lord Karnak.”
Karnak’s eyes widened when he suddenly heard praise.
“Huh? Me?”
First of all, it seemed that he himself was aware that he had not done anything to deserve praise.
“Yes. If we hadn’t done that, we would all be dead.”
“Oh, well, that’s true.”
As Karnak scratched the back of his head awkwardly, Serati’s expression became serious.
“But this is the last time, right?”
“what?”
“I’m telling you. Is this the last time?”
If the host is possessed frequently, the soul will go mad.
Baros has already taken Serati’s body twice. If he does it again, there is a very real possibility that it will cause irreparable damage to her soul.
“Yes, it is dangerous to try to confuse them any further.”
“That doesn’t mean I’ll never do it again. If everyone is going to die and there’s no other way, then you have to do whatever you can. I admit that.”
But we need to be clear about this.
This is an act of sacrificing Serati to save Karnak’s own life.
“If you don’t want to live like before, I hope you understand the consequences of your choices. If only to protect Karnak’s soul.”
It wasn’t a story to be ignored. Karnak’s face hardened.
“Okay. I’ll keep that in mind.”
Serati’s solemn expression softened.
“Then it’s fine. Anyway, thanks to Lord Karnak, we all survived, right?”
“Thank you for understanding.”
“Not at all. The situation was unavoidable, but I have gained a lot from becoming a member of the clan. It’s true that I am grateful.”

She smiled broadly and gave a playful wink.
“And, I should give you the best advice I can in return for your gratitude.”
“I see.”
Karnak also smiled.
Somehow I felt better.
At the same time, I also felt a little uneasy.
‘Wait, I feel like I’ve forgotten something.’
It was Serati who turned her back and sighed in relief.
‘Whew, I got through this double-crossing without a hitch.’
But let’s quickly change the subject, because we might think about it again later.
Serati pointed to the fallen Dempith. The darkness and evil spirits that had been emitting from him had almost completely disappeared.
“What are you going to do with that Arkrich now?”
I was already waiting for the darkness to disappear.
“I’m thinking about it.”
Karnak responded and took a step forward.
“If it were me in the past, I would have branded him with the label of domination without considering the consequences.”
But it’s difficult now.
“It’s not just that I don’t want to live like I used to… … .”
I simply didn’t have the ability to do so.
“There’s no way I can exert control over Arkrich right now, right?”
So, the safest thing to do is to just extract some information and destroy the soul, but in reality, even this is not an easy task.
Archlich is a fusion of power and spirit. Even in spirit form, he is a formidable being, and is not easily controlled by necromancy.
“We need to take a look first and decide after considering the situation.”
Karnak’s face hardened as he reached out to the skull on the floor.
“If it feels dangerous, we give up on information and everything else and go for a quick disappearance.”
It was a moment of darkness to check on Dempith’s condition.
‘uh?’
There was something strange.
‘The seal of the contract?’
Someone had carved a powerful brand into Dempith’s soul.
‘Is this what they mean by there being something that isn’t mine?’
What was incomprehensible was that the brand was so identical to the one Karnak had once branded upon Dempis.
Same spell, same location, same target.
Even the attributes and spells of the command powers contained in the brand are identical.
There was only one difference.
The name of the one who engraved the brand, the one who became the master of the spirit.
‘Tesranak… … .’
It’s like having the same contract but with different signatures.
‘How can they be so similar?’
Anyway, in this case, we have one more option.
‘If I just change the name, I can make it subordinate to me?’
At this level, it was barely possible with his current command power.
It’s definitely worth a try.
‘If it works out, I’ll get a useful slave, and I’ll also get some useful information about the Black God’s cult and Tesranak.’
What if it fails?
‘If I just destroy it like this, that’s the end of it.’
After folding his arms, Karnak reached out towards the brand.
“Okay, let’s do it!”
Infiltrates the commanding power and focuses the mind.
“In the name of Karnak Jestrad, the Lord of Darkness… … .”
It was at that moment that the mark of Tesla was just being touched.
‘uh?’
It was too easy.
All rights of the contract were passed on naturally, as if it had been his from the beginning.
“Ugh… … .”
With a faint groan, Dempith’s scattered bones are put back together.
A human skeleton is reassembled in mid-air, and the spirit of the Archlich is placed over it.
“My king, master of my soul… … .”
The resurrected Dempith knelt before Karnak.
“Please give your order. I will obey… … .”
* * *
Levin let out a hollow laugh.
“Huh, huh huh… … .”
There’s already a lot of things that I don’t understand, and now the fallen Archlich is getting up again and demanding loyalty to Karnak?
I’ve been holding back because it’s an atmosphere where it’s hard to interfere, but I’m slowly reaching my limit.
“What on earth are you guys?”
Serati looked at Levin with a face that said she knew this would happen.
He tries to keep his composure, but his voice is shaking.
‘Yes, I know that feeling best.’
As she was feeling sympathy, Levin suddenly glared at her with a scary gaze.
“Especially you, Sir Serati.”
“… … Me?”
“Yes! What on earth are you? Are you perhaps a demon who descended upon this land?”
Serati, who had become bewildered, glanced at Karnak and Baros.
‘Do I look more suspicious than those humans?’
No, is there no human in the world who compares himself to those things?
But after hearing Levin’s subsequent questions, I think that might be the case.
“Or was it originally purple-class but its identity was hidden until now?”
“Oh, that… … .”
To someone who doesn’t know, it would be an incredibly absurd sight.
Karnak and Baros looked at each other and shrugged.
“Well, since Levin has already become a member of the clan, there’s no need to hide it, right?”
“Since it has come to this, it would be better to explain it quickly.”
Dempith also raised his hand slightly, observing the situation.
“To be honest, I’m really curious too… … .”
Because of that damn curiosity, he ended up getting defeated without being able to use all his strength.
The blue flames in Arkrich’s eyes flickered wildly.
“Who the hell are you guys?”
The one who should have become the King of Mu in the future and the one who returned from the future stare at him intently.
Karnak thought for a moment.
How can I explain it quickly, concisely, and to the point?
He soon found the easiest way.
“Serati!”
“Huh? Should I explain?”
“I think you can do better than me.”
Yes, that’s right.
Just order a simple subordinate to do it and that’s it.
“It’s a job that involves dealing with people. You’ll be better at whatever you do than me.”
“Is that so?”
She thought for a moment. Then she realized.
This is an explanation that is much more difficult to explain than you might think.
“Uh, so… … .”
Serati, who had been pondering, awkwardly points to Karnak.
“You used to conquer the world… … .”
And the gesture is transferred to Baros as well.
“You said we helped each other conquer the world?”
As it turned out, it was almost the same as the explanation I had heard at the time.
Karnak and Baros laughed.
“See, is it hard for you to explain it too?”
“Even if you’re Serati, there’s nothing I can do.”
Naturally, the reaction was almost the same as before.
Levin’s face hardened as if to say, “What kind of bad joke is this?”
“I am asking sincerely, but… … .”
Dempis simply looked at Karnak and spoke in a serious tone.
“If you doubt me, Master, you know there is no need to.”
Serati continued with a bitter smile.
“Just listen first.”
An explanation similar to that time followed.
Karnak, the illegitimate child of a fallen family, learned necromancy, and his attendant, Baros.
It’s a story about two people who end up causing an accident and being chased, and in the process, they grow in strength and eventually become enemies of the continent.
After becoming Astra Schnapp and successfully conquering the world, he went back in time and space to regain his lost humanity.
After the brief explanation, Levin frowned.
“What the… … are you from the future… … .”
Unlike Serati, he had little interest in street heroism. Naturally, he had difficulty accepting such stories.
On the other hand, Dempsey also came from the future. So the parts he found puzzling were a bit different.
“That’s strange. In the future I came from, you two didn’t exist.”
Karnak asked, as if he had expected this.
“But is there anything you can guess?”
Dempith nodded.
“yes.”
Sure enough, there was one person whose actions overlapped strangely.
The god of death, Tesranak.
“If that’s true… … .”
The skeletal Archlich looked back at the blond knight, Baros.
“You are Tesranak.”
The eyes of Karnak’s party all widened.
“Huh?”
