I Became The Academy Necromancer

24. Hell for Rest

“Deius!”

thump thump thump!

The carpet on the floor vibrates wildly. He was so angry that his steps contained mana, and thanks to that, Findeneye quickly snatched the candle from the desk that was about to fall to the floor.

“Phew, I almost went to buy it again.”

Findenai let out a sigh of relief and immediately glared at the door, and at the right time, Darius opened the door and entered.

“What nonsense is this!”

While arranging the candles, I glanced over at Darius, then focused on my work again.

It seemed to irritate Darius’ nerves so much that he approached me with a thump.

“Uh huh.”

Finden-I shrugged, naturally blocking the gap.

Darius, who had already been mercilessly defeated by her twice, clenched his fists while gritting his teeth and shouted to me beyond.

“Dig up the tombs of past family heads? You truly have lost your mind!”

Darius pulled out the sword he had at his waist and swung it in the air, shouting for his veins to burst.

“To receive a foreigner as Northweden, to step into the forbidden underground of the family, to hire a damn street prostitute as a family maid! I let you go, but I can’t stand this!”

I knew that I couldn’t come over Finden Eye anyway, so I was silent and did my job.

There is no time.

Soon the moon will rise

“Take it easy.”

At that time, Deia, who was in my room, sighed and calmed Darius. He put on a puzzled expression, as if he wanted to know why Deia was here.

Deia sneakily shows the watch she is holding in her hand. Five minutes out of the day was right now.

“Deius is doing what he has to do. What Verdi should do.”

At that, Darius immediately frowned and glared at Deia.

“What should Verdi bear? Do you mean digging up the graves of the heads of households? There! I mean, my father is there too!”

“… … It is still necessary.”

It was Darius who was rather taken aback by Deia biting her lip.

I couldn’t believe that Deia, who hated me more than anyone else, was on my side.

“hahahaha, explanation. damn it! Explain why you did that!”

As if I was finally ready to have a little conversation, I slowly turned around and looked at Darius.

“I am a necromancer.”

“what?”

Darius looked at me with his mouth wide open, bewildered by such a sudden declaration.

In a nutshell, it would not be strange if the sorcerer judges of the Griffin Kingdom came and arrested me.

“A lot of evil spirits are roaming around this mansion right now. And it is the Verdi family that made them unable to rest as dead.”

step forward slowly

Finden-Eye naturally stepped aside, so I glared at him in front of Darius.

“Me and Deia bear the guilt because we were ignorant. Because you are the family head, you knew all the secrets written in the journal.”

“… … .”

“Help me. It’s giving them a chance to take responsibility one last time.”

“You want me to take responsibility?”

Gripping this, Darius slammed his sword into the ground and glared at him as if he were vomiting anger.

“I want you to take responsibility for what the family heads of the past did! Who do you think is not guilty? Who knows that they are judging that their actions were right!”

“… … .”

“I, too, know that they have sinned. There is nothing I can change! I just keep dragging Verdi, who has been passed on like this!”

After looking at Darius for a moment, I calmly nodded.

“I understand.”

Darius looked at me with surprised eyes again and made a puzzled expression.

“It is a business that has been built up over hundreds of years. That’s why you, who have just become the family head, can’t change anything.”

Darius closed his eyes and clenched his fists. It seemed that he was struggling to endure something that was rising up inside him.

“But you shouldn’t get used to it, take it for granted, and avoid it because it’s unavoidable.”

“… … .”

“Give me a chance. A chance to clear everything, wash away all sins, and start a new Verdi.”

“New, Verdi.”

“Please, I hope you make the right choice as the family head.”

After saying that, I walked out of the room, and Finden-Ai followed suit, packing his things.

I heard the voices of Deia and Darius behind me, but I just ignored them and went outside.

Most of the previous heads of families were buried on a site not far from the Verdi mansion.

There were some whose bodies could not be found during the war or were lost due to unintended circumstances, but most of them were properly enshrined.

“Are you here!”

The members of the scrap shop, who had already been waiting near the graveyard under my orders, bowed their heads as soon as they saw me.

As if he didn’t like the look, Finden-Ai annoyed him by punching the guy right in front of him in the head.

“Hey, won’t you say hello to me?”

“Gagging!”

“Isn’t that the owner, now!”

“Thanks to you, we are getting along so well!”

Wouldn’t that be the situation of those who became rebels after living as slaves in the Republic?

It provides jobs, places to rest and meals.

The degree of discrimination by the locals was tickling for those who had authentically tasted the difference in social status.

I simply nodded my head to them and went right into the cemetery.

The cemetery, which was prepared for successive family heads, was managed so thoroughly that not a single speck of dust was accumulated, and the fences were also strong.

After making Finden-Ai place the candles he had prepared in the east, west, south, and north directions, he placed them at the entrance.

The servants of the family came pouring in from far away. The butler, the eldest of them, was bringing a drum as I requested.

“Findenai, as you said, please guide her.”

“… … Yes, I will try to do this quite seriously.”

Findingenai nodded and headed back to the mansion. I’m silent, so I look at her back for a while, and then keep my eyes on the servants and scrap metal at the same time.

They were staring at me without knowing why, but I patted the floor with my cane and commanded.

“Servants, welcome the guests who will come from the mansion from now on. Don’t let anyone get in the way of her getting here.”

A few with a short career looked puzzled, but most listened without saying anything.

“He is a person to whom the Verdi family owes a great deal of debt. Serve as politely as possible and as politely as possible.”

“Yes, I understand.”

The butler bowed deeply as the representative and answered.

Next was the scrap shop.

“You keep them. The number of beings visiting will be many, but with your skills it won’t be too difficult.”

“Is it possible?”

The captain of the scrap metal dealer beats his chest and answers confidently.

Hearing that answer, I turned around and entered the tomb.

The old butler, whom I had talked about before, stands at the entrance holding a drum.

“Beat the drums regularly. If it is difficult, you can change with another person, but the drumming must not stop.”

“All right.”

“Start right away.”

thud.

The drums start beating.

At the same time, the servants preparing to welcome guests by moving in an orderly fashion, and the scrap metal dealers taking out weapons to protect them and weaving dustbins as if wrapping them.

It’s very convenient to follow orders on your own without having to give detailed explanations.

Insert the tip of the wand into the ground firmly. The soil was crushed and hollowed out, and mana began to be injected into it.

It wasn’t my mana.

All of it was the mana of the demons trapped inside me.

Hwareuk!

The blue light comes on in the candles placed in the east, west, south, and north directions. That will be a fence to keep the evil spirits out.

[Eh eh eh!]

[Freedom!]

[Verdi! Verdi! Verdi!]

The screams of demons soar and ascend. I continued to release mana and condensed it to fill this place with the mana of the dead.

A kind of magic that transformed what I had seen many times through my grandmother to suit this continent.

Yes, I was doing good.

after death.

Calling out the shameless thugs who are sleeping so peacefully.

Slowly stand in front of the grave.

Then, as if waking up from sleep, I read the tombstone.

“Delmoen Verdi.”

thud!

Delmoen’s spirit floats above the graveyard with the sound of drums. He slowly opened his eyes and quickly looked around.

[What, what? Did you wake me up?]

Ignoring his embarrassment, I walked back to the tombstone next to him and called his name.

thud!

“Dolores Verdi.”

thud!

“Terbite Verdi.”

thud!

“Dupolian Verdi.”

thud!

The constant sound of drums and the spirits that wake up every time your name is called.

Even though they were confused, they were angry with me for waking them from their rest.

“Detros Verdi.”

thud!

Continuing to awaken souls, to awaken them, and finally to the end.

“Damos Verdi.”

thud!

A man comes to mind. he knew me

[Deus? Are you Deus? Did you wake me up just now?]

The family head before Darius.

It was Damos Verdi, the father of three siblings.

All Verdi gathered.

Among them, there were people like Detros Verdi who slaughtered countless people for their own greed.

Like Darius Verdi, there were also those who simply closed their eyes and mouth and pretended not to see in silence.

What does it matter.

We will all be punished according to our sins.

[Deus! What the hell is this all about!]

[Uh-huh, waking up the dead doesn’t mean you’ve entered the path of black!]

[Damos! Are you saying that you could only teach me this way!]

Verdi’s ghosts flocking to me. The evil spirits filling the sky like a whirlpool were looking down this way with the momentum to bite them at any moment.

“Shut everything up.”

I calmly opened my mouth to them.

“There is a passage like this in a Bible in some world.”

thud!

“The time will come when the trumpet will sound, and the dead will rise first on the day the Son of Man descends from heaven himself.”

thud!

“And you will be judged according to the price of your sins.”

thud!

“I don’t know if that’s true. However, I do know that there is no such saint on this continent.”

thud!

A smile creeps in

Can they think a little about the future that will unfold from now on?

there won’t be

Because I already closed my eyes as a dead person.

Because there was no such thing as their own future.

thud!

“If there is no such person, and if there is no afterlife. Will your sins be buried and forgotten forever?”

[Deus! Refrain from talking!]

“Shut up, I am not your goddamn son.”

I swear at Damos who is glaring at me with a bloody pole. It completely blocks his mouth with mana.

He, too, already knew from his journal that he wasn’t a very good father.

“Look at the sky, this late night. My resentment toward you piled up and piled up until it reached the sky and was ready to fall tonight.”

[Delmoeh! Delmoeee Delmoe who ate my eyes!]

[Is the person over there really a Dupolyan? My old friend, the Dupolyn who raped my wife, killed me, and dismembered my son!]

[Verdi! Hey Verdi! Verdi, who stained the mountain range with blood to protect it!]

[Detros! Detros! Detros!]

The evil spirits are ready to rush at any moment. I calmly tell the trembling spirits of Verdi.

“Of course, there may be people who are unfair. Perhaps some of those demons are too filthy to judge you.”

In fact, among the demons in the mansion I saw, there were people who had led terribly evil lives.

Descendants of other families who invaded the Verdi family.

Robbers come to steal money secretly.

Gangsters who came to stalk maids or commit sex crimes.

Not everyone was like that, but there were enough of them.

So now I was taking responsibility and opening the game.

This seat is not simply a place to bite and tear Verdi.

“Let’s cast off all grudges, let’s wash away all sins. Evil spirits with accumulated resentment! This is the place to relieve your grievances! Today is the day when the history of Verdi’s new innocence is written!”

thud!

“There is no saint to judge you! Even if you wait and wait, no salvation or judgment will fall! Eternal suffering after death! You just fall into a quiet sleep without eternal happiness!”

thud!

For the first time, I felt my blood running hot.

I couldn’t stand the outburst of emotions.

My grandmother always said that when I do an exorcism, I get excited without even realizing it.

“Ego! Ask each other’s sins! Do not repent! Point your finger and blame others for their sins! Starting from this day, let’s release all grudges and fall into eternal sleep!”

thud!

Let’s raise both hands high.

From that point on, the swirling demons in the sky began pouring down like a waterfall.

“The Son of Man has come! The time has come! Let’s blow the trumpet!”

thud!

“Let’s judge each other for rest!”
