I Became The Academy Necromancer

68. third rate

[A bastard who has never seen a real tiger will consider himself a tiger.]

A black face giggling.

So, when the demon named Griffin giggles, Orpheus’s body begins to move.

“Protect the king, idiots.”

Griffin’s goblin, who now began to speak through the mouth of Orpheus. The moment his order was given, numerous servants around him jumped up and started rushing at them.

“after.”

However, my mana fluctuates and pushes them away. It was a type of black magic that did not deal with the soul learned from the dark mage.

A pattern made of mana swaying at your feet. It was one of the few defensive magics possessed by necromancers in order not to be taken over by powerful evil spirits.

Originally, it wouldn’t have worked on ordinary users, but those who were encroached on by the power of demons couldn’t recklessly approach me.

“Come behind me, Deia!”

“I’m sorry, but I don’t let myself get manipulated!”

bang! bang!

Of course, servants were rushing not only to me, but also to Darius and Deia at the entrance.

Darius drove them away by swinging them like a club with his sword in the scabbard, and Deia put magic bullets into her thighs or soles of her feet, restricting their movements.

“Go and help.”

[Yes? Do you?]

The startled Dark Magician looked at me worriedly, but my gaze was directed only at Griffin’s demon and King Orpheus.

“I can do it alone.”

[…] … .]

“Trust me.”

[really… … !]

The Dark Spirit hugs me once with his hand and whispers.

[You can’t die because you have to see the end of necromancy! It’s Master’s order.]

Even though I couldn’t feel the touch, the warmth, or the weight, I felt strangely touched by something.

“yes.”

I just nodded and let her go.

“It’s like that.”

Seeing us like that, the demon who took over the king’s body clicked his tongue.

“Are they hugging each other and filming new waves with this level of threat?”

He didn’t use even a fraction of his enormous power. Truly entertainment and entertainment.

I asked as I breathed mana while holding the Remegeton.

“There is one thing I want to ask you.”

“under! Is it begging?”

I almost lost my mind at the moment of the pressure that was pouring out. If he didn’t protect himself through magic, it wouldn’t be strange if he was defeated as it was.

“If you want to answer questions, you have to show the appropriate level.”

Intensifying pressure.

Even so, I hold the Lemegeton even tighter with my back straight.

“Why did you persecute the warlock?”

The current Griffin kingdom was literally beyond hating the warlocks, and was no different from the kingdom’s enemies.

And that’s what made the griffin’s goblin right in front of you.

He renamed Luanes Luden Griffin as Heralhazard and perpetrated a demonic massacre.

Then he laughs and is happy.

“How funny! Isn’t it funny? Through that massacre, my position has become more solid.”

“… … .”

“Sitting on the most splendid throne, you couldn’t see it! The fact that the black magician who was pointed at as the worst is actually their king!”

“… … .”

“It was truly a masterpiece! It was really fun! Thanks to that, black magic has become extremely regulated in the kingdom, and even if all related books and information are blocked, the atmosphere has become welcoming.”

And that is the present Griffin Kingdom.

The current reality of being ignorant of the terrible evil spirits.

Even if you just look at Robern, the best academy right now. When the angel of Setima caused an incident, they couldn’t even properly resist.

Because no black magician can be allowed.

A kingdom that has become ignorant of black magicians.

Under the increasing pressure, I gritted my teeth and took a deep breath.

A soft light flows from Remegeton and helps me.

The fact that he took so many lives just to hide his identity.

And turning the whole kingdom into stupid idiots just to make sure no one notices.

It was unbelievable, but it worked.

But.

“That’s not all.”

“… … .”

The griffin’s eyebrows twitched slightly. It was a fine gap, but it meant that it was stabbed in the middle.

“It was a throne that had been maintained for a long time. Why did he suddenly commit a massacre 200 years ago?”

It would have been easier if I had done it from the beginning. Why did he suddenly try to strengthen the throne, which had been firmly maintained for hundreds of years, even while enduring great blood loss?

The answer I came up with was one.

because it was needed

“I must have been afraid of the same warlock.”

“… … .”

“200 years ago, there was an outstanding black magician who could find out your secret and threaten you. This is my reasoning.”

Trying to consolidate your position even stronger.

On the contrary, it meant that someone threatened them.

“Because I was scared,” he added.

Even under the pressure, the corners of the mouth slowly rise. It wasn’t intentional, but it was a half-instinctive act, and it seemed pretty repulsive.

Because his expression has changed so much.

“Since you’re listening, you’re talking moderately. I’ll admit that I have a knack for actually offending.”

A chunk of ignorant mana begins to gather on the king’s head. Indeed, the enormous power was such that even the slightest movement could annihilate the entire throne room.

“Because of you, the kingdom’s restrictions on warlocks will be further strengthened. Yeah, I’ll admit you’re very similar to the skinny guy who came to visit me 200 years ago.”

“… … .”

“You threatened me, the king, and part of the palace was destroyed by you, but I miraculously survived and killed you.”

This time, the king seemed to have a fairly heroic concept.

“Have you been searching for the dead ghosts of Remegeton?”

The guy who cracks up and laughs.

His words made Remegeton’s light feel more sorrowful for no reason.

“Do you know why I was watching you? After all, you are no different from the necromancers who were scattered around.”

“… … .”

“On the subject of using that stone to forcibly wake up the ghosts and use them as their own! The subject I tried to use by force after waking up from rest!”

“… … .”

“what? Third class of necromancy? How are you? That’s funny! In the end, you, too, were simply beings who regarded the dead as tools, and you are just a necromancer no different from me!”

“… … .”

“I don’t want to spend any more of the king’s time on an idiot. Just die.”

Griffin’s demon reached out.

The sphere of mana wriggled and tried to move.

The shape of the sphere is broken.

It started to stir wildly, and at the same time, people’s screams could be heard inside.

“… … ?!”

I shook my head in amazement at the man who suddenly wondered why.

“Unfortunately.”

The heavy feeling of pressure gradually disappears.

There is room in the waist that had been strong. The trembling lips and clenched teeth remained like marks of pain, but it was tolerable.

“Because you don’t even know the basics like this, you have no choice but to be third-rate.”

“what?!”

A concept he had explained to Finden Eye and Deia. Although I had never given a proper lecture to students at the academy.

I didn’t know that I would be giving a lecture to the devil at the royal court.

“All souls contain mana.”

The sizes vary widely, but in order for the soul to handle mana, it needs emotions that are deep enough to replace the body.

“In other words.”

The tip of my finger points to the giant sphere. Inside the vast amount of mana, people’s faces were glowing with effort to protrude.

“It means that the vast amount of mana you are using contains that much soul.”

Because he’s a necromancer.

If the soul is destroyed, the mana will naturally disappear. But the fact that the black magician is using a huge amount of mana.

It meant that the souls were asleep and absorbed in that demon.

Remegeton awakens sleeping souls.

It just lit up and awakened the soul sleeping inside the demon.

The consciousness of those whose souls were stolen by demons returns.

“It’s really ironic.”

Two months ago.

So when I met Emily, killed the phoenix, and made it possible to get revenge on the head of the Marx Research Center.

I had one question.

Rest and extinction of the soul were strictly different concepts.

When a person dies, the soul sinks into the earth and closes its eyes.

Extinction meant that the soul itself disappeared altogether.

Also, since this was a very difficult task, it was impossible with my magic at the time.

However, while Emily was underground, she alone destroyed the head of the Marx Lab.

Obviously my magic was impossible.

It was clear that I was the one who converted Emily’s mana into magic.

In the end, I came to a conclusion.

The grudge Emily had intensified my magic.

The desire for revenge gave the girl near-impossible strength.

These were the feelings the girl had after death.

“Even the dead have a will after all. Emotions exist. It means that the opposite of the causal relationship we usually know also holds.”

I didn’t die with a grudge.

Resentment can arise even after death.

[Kuaaa!]

[Save me!]

[Demon! You damned devil!]

[Freedom! Rest for me!]

[I’d rather destroy it!]

Imprisoned for hundreds of years, the souls who have been unconscious and used only mana at will wake up.

With a thick, deep, sticky grudge against the demons.

“Turn it off!”

Griffin’s goblin somehow tries to hold back the souls who are trying to leave.

Originally, necromancers must have been good at seizing souls and giving them pain.

Remegeton emits a brighter light.

The property of this stone, which grants awakened souls more power than necessary, made even the demons find it difficult.

“The necromancer only borrows the power of the dead.”

These were the words I said when I first met King Orpheus in prison.

“Is it because I became a demon?”

Looking at the suffering guy, I laugh at him.

“Is it because I forgot that I am human?”

What would you do if you could handle a variety of techniques and high-difficulty magic?

“Borrowing their power.”

If the roots to support everything were weak, the branches would eventually be weak.

“You forgot the respect and greatness towards them.”

Those without such basics are what we call third-rate.
