I Became The Academy Necromancer

76. each other’s shadow

“Hmm.”

After the discussion, I left the venue without hesitation.

It was the opposite of when I came in.

No one booed me or threw trash at me.

I just stared blankly, as if the shock hadn’t gone away.

After showing the divine power, there was virtually nothing to discuss. Because I couldn’t comment on anything on the other side.

The god they believed in and followed clearly showed me the evidence that they chose me, so I literally had to shut my mouth because I was dumb.

The reason why they fight against me is because they know that they are ultimately against the god they believe in.

It could be said that it was wiser to keep his mouth shut.

It’s because you could uselessly make fun of yourself now and make irreversible remarks later.

‘It was boring.’

In the end, it was boring and it was over. I was wondering if there would be some novel remarks or opinions that would be perfect for ridicule.

I won’t come to a conclusion right away, but looking at the atmosphere right now, it was obvious.

In the end, Griffin Kingdom will have no choice but to accept me.

“Kiya, I’m tired!”

“great job.”

Upon returning to the waiting room, Finden Ai and Deia are smiling the same way. I sat down on a chair, passing by the two people who were holding out their hands for a high five.

“Whoa.”

Exhaling and saving mana, Finden Eye and Deia felt awkward and gave each other high-fives with their hands.

There was no time to care about the two of them now. Due to the holy power that was disturbing the inside of the body, it was necessary to redefine mana once.

[Ooh.]

Right away, the Dark Spirit was looking at me worriedly from a distance without being able to approach me, and Deia and Findenia also seemed to realize that something was wrong.

“what? what’s the matter.”

“Has the judgment of God really fallen on the owner? Did you steal your name?”

“Yunan, don’t be afraid.”

Black magic is known as the opposite concept of divine power, but in fact it is not particularly so.

It is literally just one of the sciences of magic. However, since the field it deals with is the soul or the corpse, the religious side just rejects it.

It wasn’t that the black mage couldn’t coexist with the divine power.

So, the reason why the holy power is running rampant inside me right now is not because I am a warlock.

‘I drank too much raw divine power.’

The real reason I sent Aria and Findenai to find the Holy Grail.

Although it was used to subdue Griffin’s demons, it was actually to convince the people of Griffin.

No matter how much I show my track record, no matter how well I speak the truth to them.

In the end, no one believes it because of the rooted hatred that started from a long history.

Then I had no choice but to believe it.

‘Simply holding the Holy Grail, Deia was able to use divine power.’

If you make wine into holy water according to the Holy Grail and drink it, you can use the divine power for a while.

The side effects were serious when using the Holy Grail’s divine power in a state where it was received inside the body rather than indirectly.

‘I won’t be able to use it often.’

Breathing is stabilized.

Finden Ai was wiping the cold sweat with a handkerchief she had taken out as a maid in the grass.

“done.”

“It’s okay. Opportunities like this don’t come often.”

I said it was okay, but Finden Ai did not stop and continued to wipe my sweat and bring a separate water bottle.

As I was drinking water and clearing my stomach, I heard a knock from outside.

When Deia goes and opens the door, she takes a breath and turns her gaze to me.

I turned my back and looked around, and there was a silver-haired saintess calmly entering.

“what.”

Finden Eye blocks the way.

Even though she seemed like she would bring an ax if she irritated her even a little, the saintess did not back down in the slightest.

“I’d like to have a quick talk with the memorial service commander.”

In response to a more polite attitude than expected and a direct mention that he would acknowledge the position of a memorial service, Finden Ai sneakily confirms my intention.

When I replied that it was okay with a glance, Deia and Finden-I went outside on their own.

“Whoa! Whoa! go away!”

“Oh, go away! Grandpas who smell like perfume.”

Looking at it, it seems that the bishops who followed the saintess were standing outside the door, and the door closed after the two chased them away like flies.

thud.

It’s heavier than I thought, so the door is closed.

Lucia slowly brought the chair and sat down gracefully opposite me.

Seeing this, I smiled without even realizing it.

“It’s an extension of Mersenne.”

“Oops! Then, please use respectful words like back then.”

Lucia’s expression slightly distorted, as if she had the same thoughts as me. However, he quickly clears his throat and catches up with his emotions.

“That’s Okay. I’ll go straight to the point. How did you use your divine power?”

“Didn’t you tell me? God chose me.”

“really… … .”

Lucia glared at me ferociously, then got up from her seat and put her hand on my shoulder.

I wondered what this was, but the divine power that remained in me was naturally absorbed into her, like meat attached to a bone.

“Sacred power is not unconditionally kind. God-given authority comes with a corresponding responsibility.”

“Hmm.”

Lucia realized at once that I was not chosen by God.

Sitting back in her seat, she sighed and her eyes filled with strange emotions.

“You have succeeded. I was wondering how you would convince the people, but I didn’t know you would pass that role on to us.”

“It’s something the church does well, so it’s just entrusted to us. Whatever happens, don’t you weave it well according to God’s will?”

“Off.”

Reluctantly, it is their specialty to unravel with God’s will. As if she had no intention of denying that, Lucia didn’t make any special excuses and just glanced at me.

That gaze was closer to pity than hostility, so I asked honestly.

“Don’t you hate me?”

He denied the basis of religion and acted to threaten the position of a saintess.

Actually, I thought it wouldn’t be strange if he threatened me with divine power while arguing.

Lucia’s shoulders drooped as she exhaled.

“To be honest, I can’t praise the way… … I agree that the Griffin Kingdom needs you.”

It is the saintess who is fighting at the forefront of strange phenomena more than anyone else.

In fact, he knew better than anyone how vulnerable the kingdom of Griffin was to demons, yet their influence was growing.

“The incidents caused by the awakened dead are getting worse. Griffin, who is ignorant of evil spirits, should be able to prepare for them as soon as possible.”

“Surprisingly.”

Being honest, when I told her my impression, Lucia tilted her head in reverse.

“Yes?”

“I didn’t know that you would affirm me so easily. Didn’t the citizens say in the debate that they couldn’t accept me?”

“If I am not on the side of the people, they have nowhere else to turn.”

“… … .”

“Don’t hate their ignorance too much.”

Unexpectedly, my mouth fell silent for an instant without realizing it.

I never thought that a saintess would say something like that. But she said it with a small smile.

“But don’t misunderstand that I hate the people. I love them more than anything.”

yes.

So you want them to be ignorant.

You can’t be happy knowing too much. Because knowledge opens the mind and sometimes leads to unwanted responsibilities.

Just like the current saintess.

“Because I love you, I hope they never see the many abysses of the continent.”

Lucia’s eyes fell to the floor, feeling bitter. But that’s only for a moment, and he suddenly raises his head and continues the story.

“I’ll make it clear for now. Perhaps the Church will recognize you.”

“Yes, I guess.”

In the end, I have no choice but to admit that I am dealing with divine power. Even if it’s only a one-time thing, and it’s a scam using the Holy Grail.

They had the confidence to keep it unknown for the rest of their lives.

“As I said before, I don’t like your way very much. I still need you, so I will take a stand for you.”

It would be much more persuasive if a saintess using the same divine power guaranteed it.

“But everyone serves God, and even if they are the same believers, their thoughts, beliefs and beliefs are different.”

“… … .”

“What I mean is, radical hardliners may move… … No, I will definitely move.”

“Yes, I guess.”

They would label me as a heretic, mocking God, or a swindler according to their taste and come out aggressively.

Griffin Kingdom will experience unprecedented chaos for a while.

Conflict between those who believe in God and those who do not.

Also, different conflicts will continue among those who believe in God.

I will be at the center of it all.

“It’s growing pains.”

When such confusion was dismissed with a single word, the saintess was displeased, but did not deny it.

“I’m doing it because the words came out. Wouldn’t that be too drastic?”

“… … .”

“Although necessary, citizens were shocked and confused. No one has a right answer, but we will fight each other to find the answer.”

Lucia wipes her forehead, saying that she is already worried.

“I don’t have much time to solve the mysterious phenomena of demons. To mediate the confusion of citizens… … .”

I shook my head, saying it was dizzy, but I said calmly.

“You are misunderstanding something.”

“… … Yes?”

“That is what you must do.”

The position of a saintess was not held for nothing. Isn’t it a face madam for the peace of the citizens and the chaos of the continent?

“Because I know.”

I wonder if I heard it as a criticism for complaining about something like that. I’ll correct my words a bit.

“In the first place, the case of the demons was not your problem. What you were doing must have been to annihilate them with divine power.”

“uh… … Yes.”

Even if it touches the divine power, the weak evil spirits are instantly annihilated. Literally heavenly.

But can we really say that the solution was correct?

“Demons, too, were originally people.”

“… … .”

When I revealed the truth that she had been forcibly averting her eyes to, the saintess kept her mouth shut.

He opened his mouth to reply that he knew, but no words came out. Even if he knew it, in the end, all he could do was forced extinction.

“Why? The divine power that heals and warms the living. Why is it so hostile to the dead?”

“that’s… … .”

I receive the words of Lucia, who is confused and unable to answer.

“Because it is misused.”

This is a setting that doesn’t even appear in the game. I am simply saying what I have felt while living in this world.

“Because holy power is for the living, not for the dead.”

“… … .”

“Even though it was necessary, I would say it has been misused all along.”

“Then the demons. How do the dead… … .”

“Isn’t I here?”

I made eye contact with Lucia’s blue eyes.

Holy silver hair and clear sapphire eyes. Indeed, her appearance suited the name of a saint.

“Warrior. I am the comforter of the dead.”

“… … .”

“I think I am walking a similar path to you, the saintess.”

The saintess comforts the living and gives them hope. It gives you the courage to go further.

“Saint Lucia, gather your hands for the living. Pray to your god.”

I listen to the stories of the dead. I push them to take the last step so that they can finally put everything down and close their eyes.

“I will cry for the dead.”

Listen to their stories and release their resentment and resentment. If there is an evil spirit that harms a living person beyond the boundary of life and death, it makes them pay the corresponding penalty.

Upon hearing my words, Lucia smiled.

“Iknow, right. We end up doing the same thing.”

However, the target was different.
