TCF2-32

"What is this?”

Cale quickly scanned the note Mary handed him.

“The First Imperial Prince handed it to me a few moments ago as he walked past.”

- Human! The First Imperial Prince hit Mary’s shoulder as he walked past when he gave this to her! He hit it very hard! Of course, our good little Mary didn't even twitch at such a hit!

Cale did not let Raon's comments in one ear and out the other ear for once. He made sure to remember what Raon said as he scanned the note.

< All of the necromancers who lose the candidate test die as humans. However, they are reborn as something that is not human. >

< Those things that are reborn are still able to use a portion of their necromancer abilities. >

< The Emperor controls those necromancers. >

< The Emperor is their host. >

The note did not end there.

“Mm.”

Eruhaben, who had been standing behind Cale as he read through the note written on the cloth with blood, groaned.

< My goal is to make sure that every single necromancer participating in this test dies. >

“Meeeeeow.”

On and Hong in their cat forms approached Cale from the darkness.

“Mm. Cale.”

Eruhaben started to speak.

"If the contents of this note are true, it sounds like someone is trying to kill all of the candidates except the First Imperial Prince in order to turn them into undeads that are his loyal subordinates.”

It was obvious who that someone was.

“Cale, this is probably why the House of Huayans has been the instructor for generations.”

Cale did not say anything to oppose Eruhaben’s words. In fact, he showed his agreement through silence.

‘The Emperor is dying.’

After learning about the Emperor’s condition, Cale had looked into the lifespan of the past Emperors before leaving the capital.

‘They lived decently long lives before they died.’

For the past 300 years, every Emperor had lived a decent amount of time in other people's eyes.

Basically, there were no instances of short or long lives.

It might seem like nothing much but it could be quite meaningful when considering the fact that the current Emperor was dying.

‘...The Emperor is the only candidate who survives and turns the other candidates into undeads that are in his control.’

And...

‘The Emperor changes at a set period of time.’

In addition, the current Emperor was dying.

What if all of this was being controlled by someone from the shadows?

‘The Emperor's instructor.’

The House of Huayans.

‘Basically, it is highly likely that the Black Bloods are the real rulers of the Empire.’

It was quite possible that they were controlling everything from the shadows.

“The Emperor should be strong. It sounds like he will be controlling quite a large army.”

Cale nodded his head at Eruhaben’s comment.

The Emperor controlled necromancer undeads. Those undeads then controlled skeletons.

Furthermore, the Emperor himself was a skilled necromancer.

“...It will be quite the large army as you mentioned, Eruhaben-nim.”

An army of the dead that is.

“Young master-nim.”

Mary started to speak at that moment.

“It sounds like the First Imperial Prince is planning on killing all of the candidates including himself.”

Cale nodded his head.

< My goal is to make sure that every single necromancer participating in this test dies. >

Every single one.

That meant that he was including himself.

“The First Imperial Prince wasn’t a puppet either.”

The corners of Cale’s lips twisted up. Mary spoke in a calm voice at the same time.

"The First Imperial Prince's goal will fail.”

Eruhaben responded with a satisfied look on his face.

"Why? Because you will stop him, Mary?”

“Yes Eruhaben-nim. That is correct.”

There was a strong gust of wind at that moment.

The whole group looked in that direction for a moment.

Shaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-

A white bone dragon with broken parts and many cracked bones flew up to the sky and flapped its wings.

The gust of wind was caused by the bone dragon flying up above Precinct 9.
