I Became The Academy Necromancer

17. The girl buried underground

The artificial wind noise is annoying. It may not have been intentional, but it also feels bad that the timing coincides with the sound of turning a book.

“Do it in moderation.”

“hem? Are you warming up now?”

Finden Ai, who was wielding an ax in one corner of the room, giggled at what nonsense he was talking about.

Then he tried to start again, but he hesitated for a moment, then turned his head stiffly and grumbled at me.

“So when are you going? Has it already been three days?”

“I needed to be prepared. Because what we have to deal with is not an ordinary witch beast.”

“Well? What kind of preparation is simply reading a book?”

“This is not preparation.”

All preparations were already completed this morning. Now I was waiting for a while.

“Huh?”

Finden Eye tilted his head, asking what the hell he was talking about, but a knock sounded at the right timing. Slowly closing the book, he instructed Finden Eye.

“Go out and get ready. We are leaving now.”

“Ahang! Have you been waiting for my sister? Then I have to leave again.”

With the ax resting on his shoulder, Findanei stepped on the window sill and jumped out. At the same time, he cleverly closes the window again.

profit.

Even though I didn’t answer, Deia came into my room.

“5 minutes.”

click.

The pocket watch in Deia’s hand starts ticking. As usual, I was just looking at her.

Deia, too, stares at me with her mouth tightly shut.

It’s been a week since she gave me 5 minutes of her day.

During that time, Deia and I didn’t say anything to each other, just staring at each other with our mouths closed.

“… … after.”

But today was a little different.

At the point where three minutes had passed, Deia scratched the back of her head as if she was bored and opened her mouth that had been closed for a week.

“What are you thinking?”

“What do you mean?”

I also give an answer right away. Deia bit her lip and got angry.

“For a week. Does it feel good to take my 5 minutes like this? Have you developed a taste for just standing still and getting excited?”

“… … .”

I answered slowly as I untwisted my legs.

“Wait.”

“… … What?”

A face that does not hide the feeling of disgust. Calmly but cautiously. He explains slowly, as if crossing a stone bridge after tapping it.

“I thought I shouldn’t have spoken to you first, so I just waited.”

“under! Are you forced to stand like this?”

“Yes, because that was our promise.”

I knew that making this time itself was forced. That’s why the decision after that was left to Deia.

If she didn’t want to talk at all, I wasn’t going to say anything either.

“Puberty came late.”

Deia, who clicked her tongue, crossed her arms and walked towards my desk.

“It’s good that Kim said it. Why are you like that to the family lord? Do you know what the status of the family head has become because of you?”

“You wouldn’t be in a position to say that.”

“… … It is, however.”

When crossing the mountain range at the scrap shop, Deia’s face blushes slightly in embarrassment, as if she recalled what she had done with the gourd that she had cursed at the householder for being stupid.

“anyway! I didn’t break my wrist. I think I saw something underground.”

“Yes, Darius needed to take responsibility.”

“responsibility?”

“As the current family head, the responsibility of being silent while knowing the truth. He broke his wrist a lot, too.”

If it wasn’t for Gazoo, I would have instructed Finden Ai to beat him so hard that he broke all the bones in his body.

Deia swallows her saliva and asks if she felt that the situation was unusual from my words and atmosphere.

“What on earth is there in the basement?”

click!

There was a sound that said 5 minutes had passed. When I glanced at the pocket watch, Deia annoyedly stuffed it into her coat pocket.

If the tail of her mouth fluctuates even a little here, Deia will leave right away, so she meets her eyes again with a calm expression.

“What is it? I closed it down as you said, but the staff aren’t upset that strange screams are heard every day.”

“I plan to fix it today. It can be seen as a responsibility that the family of Verdi must bear.”

“responsibility?”

“Yes, I intend to shoulder it in place of the family head.”

I got up from my chair at the sound of someone coming from outside. Deia hesitated in embarrassment when I suddenly moved.

I pass by her and put on the coat hanging on the hanger.

A door that opens at the right time.

In front of him, Finden-ai was wearing a yellow coat over a maid’s uniform, carrying an ax on his shoulder.

“Aww, that’s exciting! You say you have to do the ax once every three days?”

Finden Ai is running around and begging us to go quickly. I grabbed my cane, cleaned up my clothes, and looked at Deia.

“It is Verdi’s shame. You deserve to see it too, but wait if you don’t want to. There will be no more screaming after today.”

Saying so, he leaves the room. The humming Finden Eye chased after me, and after a while.

Deia shouted as she opened the door.

“Hey, wait! I go too!”

* * *

In front of the warehouse going down to the basement again. Looking at the sight that they could go inside if it collapsed, Findenai whistled.

“Wow, you’re going to have a hard time cleaning this up?”

“So you said it was difficult. Actually, on the first day, I tried to go down myself, but it was blocked by rubble and I couldn’t get in.”

Deia with her arms crossed glared at me as if she was being mean.

After moving the two aside, I tap the tip of my wand on the rubble.

“No problem.”

The souls that had been absorbed by me began to come out through the staff.

The guys who permeated throughout the wreckage were replaced with simple blade-type wind magic.

shred! shred! shred!

The wreckage was compacted by the pressure and turned into powder as it was, and a path was opened.

Since the inside was originally a passage, only the blocked part was pierced, and the inside was empty like a cave.

“Kiya, it’s amazing.”

With a shrug of his shoulders, Pindenai was the first to enter the mugwort as the vanguard.

Deia, who had been looking at me blankly as I followed him inside, hesitantly asked,

“What, what? what did you just do The movements of the magic were varied to say that it was simply blowing the wind, right? like… … .”

When I glanced at her, Deia continued to speak dumbly.

“The magic seemed to be alive.”

“… … .”

Great answer, but I didn’t mean to give you the right answer. In the first place, necromantic magic was forbidden even in the kingdom.

If I use it carelessly, Deia will hate me even more. The addition of the offender title of ‘warlock’ to me only increases my disgust.

We headed straight down to the basement. It took quite a while to step on the collapsed rubble and go down to the basement, but I was able to reach the room where the gnats were once again.

“Findenai, take your time against the gnatworm as much as possible. If you can kill it, it’s best to kill it, but you probably can’t.”

“Well? Grasping skills is over. that’s enough.”

It was Finden Ai who shouted confidently, but I don’t add stars. Anyway, you have to feel this kind of thing with your own skin to realize it.

“Dia, you… … .”

I thought the problem was Deia, but she pulled back the hem of her coat to reveal the long-barreled pistol she wore on the belt of her waistband.

“It’s a magic power gun. You should be able to protect yourself.”

“What, did the kingdom people have guns too?”

Apparently, there was a feeling that guns were the exclusive property of the Clark Republic, so it was a curious look, but Deia answered while hiding the gun with her coat.

“Northweden is the closest to the Republic. Of course, technology comes in the fastest.”

“Yes, but it won’t be of much use.”

“What?”

Deia was glaring at me in a fit of rage, but I already grabbed the doorknob and gave an additional order to Finden Eye.

“Protect Deia as much as possible.”

“Okay, so let’s go inside!”

He said it was a battle after a long time and pushed the excited Finden Eye to open the door and go inside.

In the darkness that still lay quietly, the human skeleton with blue eyes of fire felt our presence and immediately started crawling.

Clap, knock, knock.

Creepy footsteps as bones hit the ground. Deia is surprised with her mouth wide open because she didn’t even mention the anthroposophic worm.

“Me, me, me! what is that! Something like that was in the basement of the mansion?!”

Standing in front of Deia, I put my staff on the ground to generate mana.

“Let’s go!”

With the ax slung over his shoulder, Finden-Eye hit forward quickly and started running.

The speed itself was definitely much faster in Finden Eye. It was because she had already leaped and was swinging her ax right in front of her skull before the anthropomorph could even open her mouth properly.

Wow!

The skull splits exactly in half and slams into the floor. Thanks to this, nearby bone fragments are swept away, and the dust that has been piled up for a hundred years creates a wind.

I was expecting it, but Deia and I were fine because we were already using wind protection magic.

“Coke! Coke! What do you think! Master! This is how I defended my comrades!”

Findenai proudly holds up an ax and laughs on top of the lizard.

Without saying a word, he gestured at the gnat.

Tap, tap, tap.

The phoenix, which had lost its luster after being split, begins to merge again. In addition, he absorbed the bone fragments scattered around him and stood up again with a larger body.

“… … I hate this kind of thing the most.”

Findenai, who has already run toward us, grumbles as if grumbling. He realized that he was physically impossible to defeat.

I dispel the magic and stand next to Finden Eye. The end of the gaze was already on the girl who had already become a rotten corpse at the end of the worm.

“While I reach her, only stop the movement of the anthroposophytes.”

“… … I understand that, but are you thinking of killing me?”

Finden Ai asks softly. Deia, who was behind me, also looked at me blankly to see if she was waiting for my answer.

Receiving their questions and stares, I took a step forward.

“He who is already dead cannot be killed any more.”

This is from the past to the present. It was the truth that I felt and experienced with my own skin.

Dead people can no longer die. My necromancy was simply holding on to it, but it was impossible to achieve or annihilate them.

“There is only one thing I have to do, as always.”

I felt strangely eye contact with a girl with a worm stuck in her heart.

They are kidnapped, experimented on, and dragged around by a parasite-like monster several times larger than their own body.

“All spirits are whispering about their grievances and regrets very secretly. A whisper can be a language, an action, or a trace.”

Insects rushing at me as if they were pouring down on me. Finden Eye hurriedly digs in and blocks him.

Even in an urgent situation, I was walking in a straight line towards the girl.

“Scream.”

over a hundred years.

The tongue, which had not reached a drop of water, must have already hardened and dried up.

The dust was so thick it clogged my throat. The bugs ate the flesh, and the spiders would have built a house on you as bait to catch those bugs.

“Beg, shed tears, howl at your miserable life.”

The girl’s soul was already ruined, and she couldn’t rest even after death.

“Awake, and pour out your grudge upon me.”

I felt that the girl’s eyes were on me. It’s as if I’ve been asked what would be different if I told you.

I answer her

“Then I will save you.”
