I Became The Academy Necromancer

40. A funeral without mourners

“What?”

Deus asked again if he thought he had heard it wrong.

I opened my mouth saying that I would tell you if I wanted to hear it again, but Deus urgently grabbed me by the collar.

“Resentment? Did you say regret? You bastard! why? want to finish me too? to put you to sleep? uh?! You son of a b*tch!”

“… … .”

“You madman! you are a demon! I’m the real Deus! You bastard, you bastard!”

bang!

He twisted his back and the fist he swung hard hit his face accurately.

He hesitated and was pushed back, but I caught my breath and looked at him calmly.

“Is that why you tried to kill me?”

“yes! If I can’t be myself, I’ll have to kill you! Where are you taking someone else’s body!”

Looking at Deius, who is acting as if he will run at him again at any moment, saying that he is on fire, I think I can roughly understand why people called him an idiot.

anyway.

There was one reason I asked this.

“Then why didn’t the Verdi family try to kill me?”

“… … .”

Deius, who was about to shout something, looked at me hesitantly. He seemed to have immediately thought of what he wanted to say, but he kept his mouth shut because of his pride.

“The only time you tried to kill me was at the academy. The Verdi family couldn’t step out recklessly.”

Deius slowly lowered his head. It is pitiful but unsightly to see him keep his mouth shut about what he considers his weakness.

“I’m not asking because I don’t know why. Don’t think you can hide it if you keep it shut.”

“you… … !”

“First of all, they must have been afraid of other demons. Because the Verdi family is overflowing with evil spirits that used to play with you.”

The original Deus must have seen the same thing as me in his body. Countless evil spirits roam the mansion and laugh at themselves.

Deus couldn’t stand the environment itself.

At least in Northwedon, the family name of Verdi justifies everything he does, and makes it impossible to point fingers openly.

After death, it was useless and everyone was equally dead.

So he was just hiding deeper inside me.

Because he did not want to lose his identity and pride to be swept away by evil spirits.

“But that wasn’t all. Even though I cleaned up the demons, you still didn’t come out.”

“… … .”

“Then he returned to the academy and at night he came out like this and tried to kill me.”

“Shut up.”

Deus tried to swing his fist again, but this time he didn’t hit him and he slipped behind him to avoid it.

Do you know how many times I was beaten up when I was young, seeing ghosts and talking to the air?

In fact, it was always possible to avoid the fists of a drug addict.

Cheeky!

Deius threw his fists in the air and fell unsightly.

I look down at him and bring out the truth he never wanted to speak.

“Because there was a possibility.”

“stop!”

“Because I’ve noticed that you have the potential to turn everything back, just like I did with your body.”

“Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!”

Deius, who hit the floor with his fist in anger, was shedding hot tears again.

“I thought I couldn’t change any more. I thought I had already passed the turning point in my life.”

“Don’t tell me!”

“So I regretted it. You probably didn’t want to admit that it could go on like this.”

Looking at the sobbing Deius, I knelt down on one knee and put my hand on his back.

“You wished I was broken. So, while living at the academy, he always tried to kill me, but after being dismissed, there was no need to kill me.”

Because I thought I was going through the process of being broken, just like you.

However, I returned to the academy again. He was reinstated as a professor with much better conditions.

If he continues like this, he has no choice but to see with his own two eyes that there was another possibility for himself.

Eventually, Deus moved again and tried to kill me, and this time I thought he was successful.

“I had to do this once in order to have a conversation with you. Coincidentally, there were many competent professors and guards treating the injured, so I believed and threw myself away.”

They were right in front of me, so I threw myself into it with the belief that I could give first aid right away.

As a result, I was watching that it was successful.

“Deius, I’ve been thinking hard about what your lingering feelings are.”

sincerely.

I’ve been racking my brain countless times trying to understand the man named Deius.

“You want to kill me. It must have been one of those regrets.”

“… … .”

He crouches down without answering. Through the conversation with me, he only trembled and sobbed as if his entire body had been stripped naked.

“Another one, I want to see the person I love. I thought it might be something like this.”

pop.

He slowly raises his head. Embarrassment emerges from the messed up face.

“Illuania. You, who have been with so many women, are the only woman I truly loved.”

“Oh, no. I… … !”

“It was the first time. Not my feelings, but the feeling of someone else’s feelings deep in my heart.”

That’s why I was surprised when I first saw Illuania on the streets of Northweden at the time.

The moment you see her, you know right away that this is the woman Deius truly loved.

Deus sincerely wanted to be with Illuania.

“We stayed up all night together, comforted each other when we were drunk, and made love again the next day.”

In terms of class, the two were completely separated from each other as a prostitute and a countess. However, in bed, they were equal lovers and understood each other.

“Like that, I gradually developed a feeling for her, but I guess I couldn’t put it into my mouth.”

Every warm word from the courtesan must have given Dayus a feeling he had never felt before.

But unfortunately.

“Illuania is pregnant.”

“Kheop!”

Deus knew too. You must have known about Illuania in me.

“All she needed was someone to shower her with absolute and unchanging love. that wasn’t you It couldn’t be anyone else, not just you.”

She wanted a child of her own blood. Although I may have loved him during that time with Deius.

Illuania was a professional enough to be able to sort out all the emotions when time was over, and also had scars to the extent that she couldn’t easily love others.

“Bitch like a dog! Promised to love me like that! When I said let’s do it together! The son of a bitch, another guy’s child… … !”

bang! bang! bang!

Every time he hit the floor, he felt Deus’ despair.

“why! why! This only happens to me! Why for me! Are you letting me know about this only after everything is over!”

Looking at Deius, who screamed and despaired and beat his heart, I coldly declared.

“You are still selfish.”

“… … What?”

“You think only you are the victim, and you still blame others.”

“Me, me!”

“I have Deia right now. There are countless maids who have been harassed by you. The more I dig, the more I can say because I am enduring the weight of my evil deeds against you.”

“… … .”

Deus, who was looking at me with his mouth wide open, replied with a click on his tongue.

“You are the worst scumbag, Deeus.”

“ah.”

“And you don’t have second chances. You know.”

Dayus says he didn’t want to hear it until the very end, and turns around and runs away.

But before he could take a few steps, he slipped and pathetically ran across the floor.

“You are already dead.”

what was the cause

Drunk with a lethal dose of drugs?

Or is your brain soggy?

Did a sudden cardiac arrest come in the name of referee?

I do not know.

I’m not sure either.

He just closed his eyes and I woke up in a very comfortable sleep compared to the misdeeds he had been doing.

That’s why Deus also tried to kill me.

He knew that he had no chance of surviving, so he was able to throw his body without hesitation.

“I do not judge good or evil, I just listen to the spirits and help their wishes when I see fit.”

I walked in front of him who had fallen unsightly. He yells at me not to come near me, but he stretches out in exhaustion and weeps.

“You, the only soul I don’t understand and don’t consider worthy, are willing to help.”

Because I’m using your body.

I was thinking of paying for it.

“Deia and Darius, whom you hurt. To countless others, I will show you the new Deus. So confident and proud that I can’t recall old memories.”

“… … .”

“Illuania, the only one you loved, will raise a child in a stable job without going to and from dirty brothels. So that she can spend the rest of her life happily with her child. Of course, it will make you stop taking the medicine.”

“… … .”

“Deius Verdi, this is the only present I can give you.”

He didn’t look at me.

“Damn it.”

It was as if he was looking back on his entire life while crying.

“Promise, keep it, bastard.”

A single word he uttered.

Hearing that, I recite a eulogy for the dead.

“You were terribly selfish and left a lot of scars on a lot of people. No words can excuse that.”

No tears flowed, no music was heard.

The silent funeral of Deius Verdi, where no one can attend.

Deius was slowly becoming a group of light from his toes, but he did not resist.

“That’s why no one regrets your death, and no one misses you. This is your karma, and the accumulated sins are only revealed as a result.”

He was still weeping. There were countless regrets and complex sadness.

“But only at the end.”

I calmly close my eyes and gently fold my hands.

“You, who had never thought of anyone else for even a second, gave just one person a chance at the end.”

I slowly lower my head and pretend I didn’t see his desperate last.

“As someone who has been given that opportunity, if I can give you some comfort.”

Could this be any comfort to him as he leaves?

It didn’t matter.

“The last of the last. Even now, you made a choice for others, and you, who shed tears with regret, were definitely a human being who could change.”

As I am a country that has received a new life from you, I can at least comfort you.

“Be satisfied with that, and close your eyes in rest.”

When I opened my eyes again, Deus Verdi was already gone.

I don’t know if he was crying until the moment he died, or if he was comforted a little bit.

but.

Confirming that I had become Deus Verdi before I knew it, I turned around without hesitation.

“I hope you fall into a deep enough sleep to forget yourself.”
