38. Period

[Are you going to exorcise me?]

“yes.”

The angel, who checked again to see if he had heard it wrong, wiped his face with his hand once again as if he was dumbfounded.

[you?]

He stares at me with his ferocious eyes.

[It was a few months ago when I saved it because I couldn’t even respond properly to the demons. I was the one who gave you hints about necromancy.]

“… … .”

[But you’re going to exorcise me? They will define me as a demon!]

The angel’s hair covers the entire roof floor as it is.

As if the sewage burst and the floor is soaked with water, her hair is so dense that it takes over the space without any gaps.

[I killed a necromancer much stronger than you in an instant. Do you think it would be difficult to kill you?]

I calmly opened my mouth as I watched the angel roaring and spouting blood poisonous enough to make me dizzy.

“What is the reason you were able to exert such power?”

[…] … What?]

“I have already heard about the necromancer. I know what she was trying to do to this academy.”

I’ve said it several times, but being a necromancer doesn’t mean you can see all the souls. That’s both a blessing and a curse that only I have.

Other necromancers materialize with strong resentment, or breed and deal with demons that can cause damage through pain.

It had a similar concept to a summoner, but finding a soul with a grudge was harder than I thought.

From the point of view of such a necromancer, this academy must have been a desirable prey that could not be missed.

He must have been greedy to make the countless demons that roam the academy into his own.

“She was obviously hostile, so you were able to wield that power. Because he was the one who tried to take the souls of Setima as his own.”

Thought forms are more influenced by motivation and psyche than one might think.

Because it was a spiritual existence made up of wishes.

“That’s why you’ve been given that much power. You were the one I tried to protect, so I had no choice but to be strong.”

[…] … I am still the same.]

“No, not at all.”

Rather, the current situation is the opposite.

“Now I am inheriting Setima’s will, not you.”

The black sword in my hand was the proof, and the soul of Setima with me was their answer.

[why… … !]

The people of Setima do not want what the angel is doing now. From the moment she realizes that, the power gradually begins to fade.

[No! That’s not it! Having died so unfairly! Having died so painfully! Aren’t you still dreaming of revenge?!]

As the cracks begin to appear in the wall of thought that was thought to be absolute, the hair of the ferocious angel gradually begins to shrivel.

[The goddess you cried out for was silent until the end! Than the teachings of such a goddess! Rather than fucking bullshit about forgiving sinners!]

After sticking the warrior’s sword into the ground, I walk towards her through the open path.

Warriors and angels had many similarities. He also sympathized with the angel’s thoughts, but he kept his mouth shut because he prioritized the wishes of the people of Setima.

[You guys created me, you know! Because I’ll grant you a wish! For those of you who died unjustly and couldn’t leave a name behind! I left a scar on the kingdom that could never be erased!]

It was truly pitiful to see the angel crying and shouting desperately.

He approached the sun and his wings burned like the known Icarus.

She, too, was steadily heading towards her own destruction.

[I will do it! If you just keep your mouth shut, I will relieve you of your injustice! But why! why! why!]

“… … .”

[why! I’m going to stand by that man! Why are you still trying to forgive!]

“Stop it now.”

I couldn’t understand either.

Likewise, I wasn’t a saint from the Bible or a saint from this continent.

Full understanding of Setima’s decision was not possible.

but.

“Don’t deny their lives.”

Setima’s souls, which have been replaced with blue flames by accepting my magic, hover around the angel.

[You guys… … !]

In a way, distorting a wish could be seen as ignoring an individual who had an empty wish.

It was simply a motive, because it was an act of trampling on the opinion of the person concerned.

Nevertheless, of course, the ghosts of Setima.

He was touching and comforting the angel.

I am sorry that they are lacking.

Thank you for being angry for them.

Also, I’ve been through a lot during this time.

[Ah ah ah ah ah!]

A blue flame coiled around my hand. Because she is a thought body without a soul, she will achieve complete extinction instead of rest like the other dead.

“Let go of that burden. I also have no intention of taking revenge because they don’t want it.”

A hand wrapped in flame rested on the head of the sitting, weeping angel.

My flame naturally spreads through the girl’s hair and brightens the entire rooftop.

“I promise that everyone on the continent will know about their nobility and splendor.”

[…] … !]

“Deius Verdi. no… … .”

Slowly kneel in front of the girl. I hope that I can give you faith with a smile of consolation built without my knowledge.

“I swear as Shinwoo Kim.”

[Kim, Shinwoo… … ?]

“My real name.”

When I smiled and nodded, the girl looked at me blankly and asked while wiping her tears.

[Tell me one thing.]

“Anything.”

[Where is the child who made me now?]

A girl who proudly told Musa that she was an angel she made.

In fact, it could be seen that the existence of an angel was framed and created thanks to her.

“Her name is Leah.”

The name of the unforgettable child I met on the day I first came to the academy.

“I already went into rest a few months ago.”

She was the first girl to talk to me, gain peace, and enter into rest.

[yes.]

Took.

The head of the fallen angel trembles slightly. There was a feeling of relief in the hot tears dripping down.

[thank god.]

“… … .”

[I will trust you.]

The girl’s new form burns and disappears. In the end, the entire rooftop was swept away by blue flames, and after a while.

The dark sky begins to crack and the cold moonlight comes in.

The screams of evil spirits echoed from everywhere and the cheers of people at the same time.

The city, which had been shrouded in fog, unfolded, and the familiar rooftop scene caught my eye for the first time in a long time.

The blue flame goes out.

The ghosts of Setima who comforted the angel close their eyes one by one and begin to leave in search of rest.

“I will not seek forgiveness from my enemies until I sacrifice everything like you do.”

All they wanted was forgiveness, so I followed them without a word.

“But the direction and beliefs of life you showed me.”

The flames that faded as they floated up into the sky looked like stars that floated nearby.

“Obviously, because it was so noble that it could not be touched.”

I raised my head and prayed for their peace and rest.

* * *

“What are you done?”

Findenai, who climbed onto the roof, looks at Deius, who is saying his last goodbye.

I had already heard that a fairly powerful necromancer had died, so Deius could be in danger, so he came after saving the students.

“Hmm.”

He was clean without any scars.

On the contrary, it seemed that he was slightly relieved, and even smiled slightly.

“I don’t like it.”

Finden Eye didn’t like it very much. Even now, he feels uncomfortable because his mouth feels bad because he feels sorry for the burned mat.

“Are you done?”

Looking up at the brightly rising moon, Deus nodded softly as Finden Eye asked.

“Yes, the evil spirit situation at the academy is all over.”

“Well?”

Are you saying something strange?

Instinctively, Finden-Eye sensed that there had been some clever pun, but he did not realize where it was wrong.

“Are all the injured students cured?”

“At least after the barrier was created, everything that was injured or broken would have returned to its original state.”

The barrier linking life and death could not be completely created and disappeared.

Originally, the dead couldn’t mess with it, so the damage situation didn’t become a reality and disappeared as it was.

“Well, that doesn’t mean you lose all your memories. It must be pretty complicated for a while, right?”

“I guess so.”

Deus doesn’t deny it.

In fact, the road the academy will have to walk in the future will be quite a thorny road.

“Well, isn’t it good that the owner gets a lot of money and is nice?”

There was only one reason why Finden Ai kept talking awkwardly on purpose.

I wanted to find the contradiction felt in Deus’ first words.

For that reason, I was forcibly making fun of my mouth and rolling my head, but no answer came out.

But then.

Deius says it’s funny and tells you the answer.

“The ‘Academy’s’ evil spirit situation has been resolved. It is the identity of your anxiety.”

“What?”

“Finden child.”

Dayus slowly stood in front of the railing and looked at Finden Eye.

Along with a calm expression, the black eyes were enough to make Finden Eye’s body firm in a moment.

Deus’ words that came out next were beyond the scope of her comprehension.

“You must not save me.”

* * *

“Waaa!”

“Fuck, it’s over! It’s over!”

When the barrier was broken and the bright full moon greeted the students at the academy, everyone shouted and shed tears and expressed their gratitude.

The faculty, who had gathered the students to the playground and continued to fight against the demons to protect them, also sighed in relief as they wiped their sweat.

“You worked hard.”

“thank you for your effort.”

When Professor Keren, who was standing in the front row with her, asked for a handshake, Erica smiled slightly and shook her hand.

The two were today’s MVPs, who showed that academy professors do not simply teach students, but are not lacking in actual combat.

“Is this all settled?”

“I guess so.”

Erica let out a sigh at Karen’s words, but it felt like the baggage that had remained in her heart like sediment had completely melted away.

Although his relationship with Professor Deius had gone wrong.

‘But he’s safe now.’

Thinking that even the possessed evil spirit has been completely resolved, Erika feels much more at ease.

In the future, even if Deius is in Lovern, he won’t be possessed and attempt suicide like before.

“Oops.”

Just in time, Deius appeared on the ledge on the roof of the main building.

Seeing that, Karen smiled.

“What is it, because he saved it, so support it?”

“… … .”

The moment when Erica feels anew, thinking that Deius has that kind of side.

Dying!

It was a scream in my memory.

It was a cry of resentment filled with resentment that was firmly embedded in the heart like a trauma.

The moment she heard that, Erica Bright could find herself hurriedly running forward.

I try to use mana, but the mana, which has been empty from dealing with evil spirits for a long time, shrinks powerlessly and spreads like dust.

And.

Deius throws himself off the roof.

thud!

It fell, without any hindrance.

Erica Bright’s white-gloved hands, who had fallen right in front of them, were drenched in blood.

“No eh eh eh!”

At the end of the woman’s desperate scream, the long and long affair of the academy comes to an end.
