I Became The Academy Necromancer

69. king of griffins

“Quaaa!”

[I will kill you! I will kill you!]

[Why don’t you let us go!]

[I want to stop! I want to close my eyes now!]

souls go out

To have ego, to contain anger, to release grudges.

Each of the souls pouring out from the demons became a mighty slingshot.

Since the mana contained in the soul became magic through the demon, the swirling souls could not hold back their anger and began to strike here and there.

bang! bang! bang! bang!

uncontrollable force.

Not only attacking the demons, but also going to the pillars and ceilings, walls and lights in the audience room and bumping into them, it seemed as if they were doing self-injury.

Even my protection magic couldn’t stop all the rampage of the ghosts.

However, if I stopped Remegeton, which activates and amplifies them, the demon would devour the soul again.

Lower your body.

There is no choice but to have damage to me, but it was a necessary procedure because the damage on the demon side was extreme.

Checking behind them, Deia and Darius were also taking a defensive stance, swept away by the runaway spirits, but it didn’t seem strange that they were attacked right away.

At least the Dark Spirit was guarding it, but she was also a ghost, so there was a limit.

All of the servants who had already rushed were in a state of fainting on the ground, and there were also those who were swept away by the runaway spirits.

Because I couldn’t save everyone.

First of all, he distanced himself from the demon and returned to the two of them.

“Have you solved it?”

Deia asks first. I shook my head and put them both within the range of my protection magic.

“It is not over yet. You only released the souls that were condensed in him, didn’t you definitely annihilate them?”

Extinction wasn’t so easy, and he didn’t suddenly become an ordinary ghost simply because the souls were getting out of it.

It’s just that the power like the foul is gone, but the power of the main body will still remain.

Of course, it would be several times easier to deal with.

“When the hell are these things going to end?”

Darius’ question could not be answered. The number of souls that demons have eaten for hundreds of years is more than you can imagine.

Their resentment was also very deep.

“Can’t you?”

The spirits became stronger because of the softly shining Remegeton. It seems that I need to stop this soon.

It was because he had the momentum to destroy the entire royal family if he made a mistake.

[What will you do?]

To the Dark Mage’s question, I turned my gaze back to the demon and answered.

“There is no time to wait. Break it down first and go in.”

If this was a field or barren plain, of course I would have waited.

Even if I just wait, eventually all the devil’s power will be gone, and I will be in a situation where even I can do it now.

However, since the runaway of the spirits he was holding was so severe, there was a high possibility that there would be victims among the servants, and the royal family was on the verge of being ruined.

Fortunately, he’s much weaker than before and he’s crazy because of the souls escaping.

“Dark Spirit, protect Deia here. Darius is coming with me.”

“I-I’m going too!”

Deia responded in a huff, but I shook my head to stop her.

“Take good care of that box. If I give you a signal, you use it.”

Deia’s mouth twitched as if she wanted to ask what the hell was in the box she was wearing, but she didn’t bother asking again.

I just squeezed the pistol and didn’t understand it, but I accepted it.

“Stand behind me.”

Darius and I move forward together while lowering our bodies. It was intended to protect them with magic, but instead, Darius struck forward instead.

“No, you stand behind me.”

“… … .”

“You are the only one who can deal with that demon that took His Majesty’s body, Deus. Buy yourself.”

It was indeed the right opinion.

I didn’t know that Darius would step up and claim the shield himself.

“Deus.”

Darius suddenly opened his mouth as he cautiously headed forward.

I didn’t bother to answer, but he continued.

“I never imagined a future like this would come to us.”

“… … .”

“I only thought that I had to follow in my father’s footsteps and protect the family. Actually, I didn’t know what the family name was.”

Darius turned his head slightly and our eyes met.

It was the first time.

I never thought he was trustworthy.

“I don’t know what my father was like, but to me you are Verdi and a family. So if I die here… … .”

[Give me that stone!]

Whoops!

The demon’s counterattack begins, noticing that we are approaching.

It wasn’t a plan to stop the water flowing from the bottomless dock, but a strategy to kill me and take Remegeton before it all spilled out.

Black hands rising from the ground attack us from all sides.

Darius draws out his sword and gracefully cuts through them, concluding his words.

“The next one is for you.”

Couduk!

He’s a pretty good fighter. Right away, the opponents were only ridiculously strong, so it just looked lame.

Unfortunately, that was the case this time too. As the opponent was a necromancer who had lived for hundreds of years, he knelt down on one knee without being able to swing his sword a few times.

“Stay still.”

He pressed his shoulders and stepped forward.

“Don’t leave useless wills. Are you going to close your eyes satisfied that you have just escaped from your father’s shadow?”

“… … .”

My magic assists Darius. After a little relaxation, he glanced at me and jumped up with a big smile.

“Yeah, you’re too slim for the northern barrier!”

A strong grip on the sword again.

He stepped in front of me again and asked.

“I will protect you at all costs. Don’t think about anything else, just think about dealing with that blasphemous bastard!”

“yes.”

I took out the Remegeton again.

You can’t win no matter what magic you do. In the first place, the body belonged to King Orpheus, so he couldn’t harm it carelessly.

so what i have to do now

Funny enough, it was to wake up the spirits even stronger.

Because the most important person was still asleep.

King Orpheus, seen in the game, has only two results after finding out the truth.

Either break or overcome.

But now I knew.

What I overcame was that it wasn’t King Orpheus.

‘The demon just took over.’

So it must have been that simple.

Conversely, broken things.

Orpheus’ conviction was so hard and straight that it was only broken.

There will be no such ending this time.

i will make that

Along with Remegeton, which emits more light, I opened my mouth.

“Your Majesty, can you hear me?”

* * *

It felt like being in mud. It feels like germs and bugs crawling all over the body in harmony.

It was disgusting and disgusting, but I couldn’t escape.

I can’t open my eyes, I can’t smell, I can’t open my mouth.

I heard that after death, you will rest like you fell asleep.

Can we call this rest?

In a half-tortured act.

King Orpheus feels a faint voice tickling his ears.

A solid voice that is calm yet confident in itself.

However, despite hearing such voices, the accident could not reach them. It’s familiar, but I can’t remember who it is.

In the same situation as right before falling asleep, Orpheus tried to slowly close his eyes.

Took.

I felt someone grab my shoulder.

that wasn’t the only one

In an instant, the hands clinging to his body were urgently yet gently waking him up.

‘Well?’

I slowly open my closed eyes.

I couldn’t move my body enough to look around, so I didn’t know who was holding me, but I could hear the voice more clearly.

– Your Majesty, we’re all here.

“De, Ius?”

It was definitely Deus Verdi’s voice. I don’t know where it’s coming from, but the more I hear his voice, the more power comes into my body.

– Now, only His Majesty needs to be determined and stand up. Then this great evil that has been coiling itself around the griffin’s dynasty can be extinguished.

“I… … ?”

Are you determined?

What resolution are you talking about?

– You must have seen the many evils that the Griffin Dynasty has committed so far.

“ah… … .”

hit.

From the journal in the basement.

I’ve seen all the atrocities of the fucking vicious Griffin Dynasty.

Even if it was something he had done while possessed by a demon, in the end, that demon was Griffin’s ancestor.

– You thought you didn’t deserve it. He must have suffered that he was not the one to sit on the throne.

“… … .”

yes.

I had no choice but to suppress the desire to throw away the crown and run somewhere far away.

– But, Your Majesty, there is a difference between not being qualified and not being responsible.

“… … .”

– There are too many things on your back to simply say that you are a victim. A king is one who leads and takes responsibility, not one who makes excuses and runs away.

“ah.”

– You are indeed right. The griffin dynasty has already lost its right to stand as the sun of this realm. In the position of king, incompetence becomes a sin.

Because I knew the meaning behind those sharp words. Orpheus thought he might be weeping.

– However, shouldn’t you take responsibility? Shouldn’t this kingdom, which has become a deformed structure, be restored to its original state?

“That… … they say.”

– You’ve made a mistake, so you’re stepping down? Isn’t it like simply having fun and running away?

I wondered if Deius would be wearing a self-deprecating smile by now.

Because there was only one thing he wanted to say.

– So, with everything on your back, sit back on your throne.

“… … .”

– Time to cough, Your Majesty.

I felt like an accident was coming up. It feels like someone is pulling you up out of the water.

In the consciousness of bending and pulling her back, she turns her head and looks at the owners of the hands that shook her awake.

There were faces I knew and faces I didn’t know.

I thought I knew who it was.

“Father, mother.”

A long time ago, the late King Opert Luden Griffin was devoured by demons.

And his mother, Hyran Luden Griffin.

Not only that, but many owners of the Griffin Dynasty who were eaten by demons and had their bodies taken away.

“Ah, that’s why you said I was a fool.”

Now, King Orpheus realizes the true meaning of his father’s will.

Just be stupid all the time.

“You didn’t want me to know the truth.”

back.

Power enters the clenched fist. The desire that burns in the heart spreads throughout the body.

“You didn’t want me to know about Griffin’s ugliness.”

Wrinkled palms felt on the back.

Recognizing that it belonged to his father, Orpheus sheds hot tears.

“I thought you were really far away. Because he was a very respectable father to me.”

Took.

“I can see my father’s back, which was far away.”

I feel a gentle push on my back.

now.

just now.

From the clutches of a demon that no one in the griffin dynasty has escaped.

The oppression of the royal family, which was trapped in a long chain of chains, is broken.

“Soja, I will surpass you.”

soon

What I saw in front of me was the half-destroyed throne room and Deius Verdi, smiling with faith.

* * *

“Huh! Huh!”

King Orpheus, holding his chest with heavy breathing, descends from the throne and kneels in pain.

I immediately withdrew the light of Remegeton, and the ghosts who seemed to be having a crazy party forever began to calm down.

“It’s okay!”

Darius, who had barely endured the attack of the demons, was already covered in scars, to the point where blood pooled under the soles of his feet.

He will need treatment, but the battle is not over yet.

[Kuaaa!]

The demon that fell from King Orpheus struggled and began to scatter the remaining mana.

Now he is simply a demon struggling in his instincts.

Feeling like thorns flying in, I reached out my hand.

The image of the soul surrounded by mana comes to mind.

A spell to absorb evil spirits that I also used in my family’s mansion.

It is a method used by necromancers to subjugate an evil spirit completely to their own, wrapping the evil spirit around the sorcerer’s soul.

[You’re crazy!]

The demon that I thought I was trying to subjugate attacked me with its mouth wide open.

The black hair swallowed me as it was, and soon the body’s initiative began to pass.

“Shut up!”

[After all, you were just a necromancer! You dare to make me your own You’re crazy! Where are you carelessly… … !]

Just like the original Deus possessed me.

The demons also start to take away my body. I staggered and got down on one knee, but at the same time my eyes met the woman in the distance.

The quick-witted sister immediately opens the box on her back.

“uh?”

With Deia’s exclamation of nonsense, light begins to radiate throughout the dark audience room.

The mere existence made the demons flee, and the specters to close their eyes.

Remegeton is a fraudulent item for necromancy.

However, in the game, one side does not give fraudulent weapons unilaterally.

It’s not just the opposite of Remegeton, it’s God’s gift to purify all evil.

The most perfect substance on the continent.

A silver cup that holds everything in the world.

Deia took the Holy Grail out of the box and was taken aback, but I shouted while fighting for supremacy with the demon.

“Now.”

[You’re crazy!]

Now the situation is reversed.

I hold on to the evil spirits that try to escape from my body.

I knew I would run away the moment I saw the Holy Grail, so I needed some kind of shackle to keep it firmly in place, and I just did it myself.

Deia, holding the Holy Grail in one hand and the magic power gun in the other, aimed at me without hesitation.

In those eyes, there was no resentment toward me, my second brother.

Because there was trust in it.

Divine power from the Holy Grail mixed with Deia’s mana and reached the muzzle through her hands.

[Will you borrow the power of the gods! Aren’t you ashamed? Necromancer aaa!]

I suffocate and laugh at the absurd outbursts.

“You and I, who have become demons and cannot receive God’s blessings, are different.”

Taang!

The muzzle spewed fire, and bullets filled with divine power flew straight toward me.

“The dead had to be dead.”

Fu-wook!

A bullet lodged precisely in the left shoulder. Since the divine power poured into the whole body, I hurriedly dropped the Remegeton.

[Quaaah

The demon touched by the divine power emits a scream and begins to burn in the judgment of God.

Even in the intense pain felt in his shoulder, the smile drawn on his lips could not be erased.

“It was my mistake to mistake you for possessing you.”

Despite what I said clearly, he was a student whose teaching did not work at all.

“I thought the only thing I had prepared was extinction.”

I put my hands on my throbbing shoulders and look up at the sky.

Sunlight streams through the perforated audience room.

The late dawn is leaving

As the sun gently descends.

Griffin’s specter was completely annihilated.
