I Became The Academy Necromancer

15. How to save you

After descending into the basement, Pindenai and I kept quiet about each other. The light was lit with magic, but the darkness was so thick and the space was so wide that I could only see what was right in front of me.

“Hmm, it’s a very large place.”

Finden Eye pouts and looks around.

“Do you see anything?”

“Yeah, I see. It smells like preservatives.”

“… … .”

Finden Eye looks around with a frown. Her crimson eyes quickly adapted to the darkness and seemed to be watching something invisible to me.

When this happens, I feel incompetent because I can’t see anything.

Replaces the soul with light and makes it walk around the room. Their screams echoed like the sound of the wind, but it didn’t matter.

Souls that light up the underground by becoming so-called goblin fires.

“… … .”

Only then can I see the sight that Finden Eye had in my eyes.

It was a kind of warehouse.

A warehouse where numerous bone fragments are sitting close to each other, waiting for someone to discover them.

“Kiya, what was it? Barrier of the Glorious Frontier Verdi? It’s not like that, but I guess it was just a monster that ate people out of town?”

Finden Ai clatters and touches the bones on the floor with his foot. It was a shocking scene, but in some ways I was convinced.

‘That’s why the mansion was overflowing with evil spirits.’

Now I understand why so many evil spirits with resentment roamed the mansion.

[Eh eh eh!]

At that moment, one of the flames that lit up the light goes out with a scream. From that point on, the flames began to be sucked into somewhere.

An eerie blue light bursts out from the end and immediately brightens the basement.

A huge centipede with the face of a man bursting out from among the bone fragments that make up the mountain.

The centipede made of white bones and blue flames was sucking back the souls that had been absorbed by me.

[no! I hate it!]

[Save me!]

[I don’t want to die!]

The spirits scream as if recalling memories of their actual death.

I understand that it’s not that Skrull didn’t want to come here for nothing.

“A centipede made of human bones?”

Apparently, even Finden-Ei can see that monster, and he walks in front of me with a laugh.

“Owner, I don’t think you can just grab this? You must have an axe.”

Finden-I, who fidgets and appeals that her hands are empty. His momentum was so great that she thought it was threatening.

Clap, Clap, Clap!

A guy approaching with footsteps like bugs crushing. It looked like it was going to open its mouth wide and eat us right away.

“Ayy!”

Finden-Ai hurriedly turned around, carrying me around his side like a load, then turned around and headed for the entrance.

I protested with my eyes about why I was carrying it like this and running, but Finden Eye only snorted while running.

“It’s good to have a competent maid, master? If it wasn’t for me, I’d be dead already.”

“Whoa, next time don’t ask for something so clumsy.”

“You have a lot to ask for! But if you go on top of this, won’t the mansion collapse?”

“Okay. Seeing as you haven’t come out of the basement so far, you won’t be able to go out any further.”

“hehehe, it would be fun to follow along.”

While dangling dangling next to a grinning Findeneye, I set my eyes on the centipede monster.

A face that looks like a huge human skull, a body that stretches out like a centipede, and numerous human bones embedded on both sides act as legs.

‘… … A centipede made of human bones.’

Follow the end with your eyes.

The magic containing the soul was eaten by him, so I just lit the light with mana and reached the long end.

“… … !”

At the end of the centipede was not a simple tail.

An expressionless girl with half her skin peeled off and a hole in her chest.

This monster was connected to the girl’s heart.

Tak tok tok!

After passing through the entrance, Findenai started to climb the stairs. The Skeleton Centipede then twists its body, smashes the entrance with its prongs, and starts climbing the stairs.

“It’s really disgustingly disgusting!”

In the end, Finden Ai, who couldn’t stand it, lowered her body and grabbed me with both hands. He even smiled.

“Hold tight, master.”

When I put my arm around her neck, the overwhelming mana that Finden-Ei had been hiding came out like an explosion, and I was able to climb more than half of the aisle with a single leap.

Also, starting from the point where it was used as a foothold, the stairs collapsed due to the impact, so the Skeleton Centipede could no longer recklessly pursue it.

“This is me. On the topic of minor things.”

Eventually, we reached the first basement floor again. Finden Ai gave a refreshing expression, saying that he hadn’t moved in a while, but I was a little serious.

‘What is that girl?’

A girl whose heart is connected to a giant skull centipede. The Skeleton Centipede was too large to be considered simply a parasite.

On the verge of falling into the feeling of being left alone in the abyss, as thoughts bite their tail and dig deep.

grasp!

Finden Eye blocked my way. Darius, the head of the house, came running up to me and tried to slap me on the cheek, but Finden-Ai snatched my wrist.

“Leave this! If you have been favored by the subject of the foreign race, you will obey quietly, but disturb the master!”

“You are not my master, are you?”

That’s right.

Because Finden Eye belongs to me, not to the Verdi family.

I quietly made eye contact with Darius and asked.

“Did you know what was in there?”

“What? What do you know about that! As usual, if you’re just drinking and having a fight with a girl, that’s what you’re going to do! Did you forget that you decided not to meddle in family affairs!”

did you make that promise?

sorry but that’s not me

“I will ask you again. Did you know what’s inside, brother?”

“You know that… … !”

“Break it.”

Wood Deuk!

“Quaaagh!”

The brother’s wrist, which had been caught by Finden Eye, is neatly broken. The servants in the back were also surprised and tried to approach Darius in a hurry.

As I stepped forward in a fit, they backed away.

I looked down at the suffering Darius as he rolled across the floor and warned me.

“Don’t test my patience any longer, brother. One last question, did you know?”

* * *

The Dean’s Office of the Robern Academy.

Health professor Keren and Professor Erica Bright were fighting a war of nerves over the dean.

“We need to bring Professor Deius back.”

At the first attack of health professor Keren, Erica frowned and refused.

“Are you kidding me? Are you saying that how long has it been since Professor Deius was fired?”

Erica naturally turned her gaze to the dean and continued talking.

“Dismissal is the highest level of heavy punishment. It is not a simple dismissal, but it is designated by law in the kingdom that you cannot be reappointed for a certain period of time in addition to retirement. If we bring Deius back here, not only will the royal law be looked down upon, but the authority of the Robern Academy will also be shaken.”

In addition, the dean’s expression darkens when he adds that there is a possibility that the royal family’s support, which is still shaking, may become more opaque.

Karen sneers, saying it’s absurd.

“So what? Does that authority matter now? No, Professor Erica! Didn’t you watch it with me, the work of the strange demons! Professor Deus knew about that before anyone else!”

“Deius was just lucky to know. Now that we have found clues, we can fully respond.”

“no! under… … .”

Karen was infinitely calm and cold in battle. However, in these discussions, the skills he learned while working as a mercenary cannot be demonstrated at all.

Keren, now speechless because of her frustration, looked straight at Erica and asked.

“Why? Surely you weren’t solving the case with me until yesterday? But why did you suddenly change like this?”

“I haven’t changed. I worked hard to solve the case, and I will do my best even now.”

“stop.”

A debate that seems to go on forever. Eventually, the dean opened his heavily closed mouth.

He was a warm-looking man, but today he was worried with an infinitely serious face.

I came up with an answer.

“It is impossible to reinstate Deius. But, let’s listen to his advice. From the circumstances, it seems to be true that he knows something about the current situation.”

“Yes, I understand.”

Erica Bright bowed her head deeply in satisfaction, and Keren twisted and stepped out of the dean’s office biting her lip.

Seeing Karen like that, the dean sighed and said to Erica.

“Professor Erica probably doesn’t want anything to do with Deius.”

“… … .”

affirm with silence

“I will separately contact the Verdi family. Professor, please take good care of the students and work hard to solve the case.”

“All right.”

Erica Bright bowed her head and stepped out into the hallway.

strangely dark sky.

Even though there was not a single drop of rain, the thick dark clouds seemed to represent the disquieting situation of the academy.

In fact, there were many ways to reinstate Deius Verdi.

In the first place, he was a visiting professor thanks to a woman named Erica Bright.

In a word, non-regular workers.

Of course, it was only a matter of time before he was selected as a full professor this year.

For three months, he confirmed his qualifications as a professor, and he sufficiently proved his abilities.

In fact, the letter of recommendation for the appointment of a full professor had already been handed over to the royal family.

But before that, the disciplinary letter for dismissal passed first.

According to the Kingdom Law, the punishment of dismissal cannot be given to visiting professor Deius Verdi. At best, it’s a dismissal.

Being disciplined in a position where you can’t actually be disciplined.

Unbelievable, but I did it.

If you ask how, there was nothing I could answer except that Gideon’s Geronia family used their strength.

‘I’ll make sure you don’t come back to this academy no matter what.’

Erica Bright clenched her fists and made a promise as she walked down the aisle.

I will definitely stop him from returning.

no matter what kind of coercion.

Even if you use nonsensical logic.

Even by playing the lover of a goddamn narcissist.

Because that’s it.

‘Because it’s a way to save you.’
