I Became The Academy Necromancer

95. things the saintess has built up

Even if I could handle a higher level demon, the opponent was too bad.

Compared to the Great Demon, which only has 10 people on the continent, no matter how advanced it is, it is not a great power, and since it was already dead in the first place, there was no way for it to come out with its old skills.

Kwadeuk!

[Kuaaa!]

The demon’s scream spreads wildly across the dark sky.

The guy who was hit by Stella’s left hand rolled on the floor again and screamed in pain.

“Shut up and wake up.”

When I pull the chain, the upper-level demon gets up in agony again. I thought I would be able to take a little bit of time, but when the situation unfolded, the upper level devil just flew away like a fly.

“Master!”

At that time, I heard Finden Eye’s cry and the sound of horses’ hooves coming from behind.

Seeing Findenai preparing to run away with the wagon, I immediately turned around.

Puts mana on the soles of your feet and transforms them into wind magic. It was a simple magic, but my body floated up and flew straight towards the wagon.

[Wow! Deus!]

It was not as easy as I thought to keep my body steady in the air. A situation where the unintentionally spinning body could collide with the back of the wagon.

“Ah-oh! Crazy!”

Nervous Findenai climbs onto the carriage and stretches out both hands.

And then, it catches me neatly as I fly. It suddenly became the appearance of hugging the princess.

“Aren’t you comfortable? A bonus?”

Finden Ai smiles and boasts. I was annoyed for nothing, but I got off quickly and shouted to the nuns in the carriage.

“From now on, take turns putting magic on the horse. We must run away as far as possible.”

“Well, then the words must be heavy on you?”

Frustration welled up at the voice from below.

“Then will you die instead of talking?”

Only then did the nuns roll up their tails and climb over the window in front of the wagon and start casting spells.

I wondered who was driving the carriage instead of Findenai, and Illuania was holding the reins.

“Can you speak a little?”

When I came to the convent, I was a little worried because most of them were driven by Findenai, but Illuania pretends to raise a thumbs up.

“The first thing I learned to run away from the orphanage was to ride a horse.”

It was not very pleasant information, but I could believe it anyway.

Illuania slammed the reins harder and drove the horses.

thump thump thump!

The ground trembled and the spider-legged saintess started chasing after us.

As she ran, she kept tapping the floor with her left hand, but each time, deformed beasts emerged from the surrounding darkness and chased after us.

[After all, it wasn’t only blood that could be used.]

“What is it, they say it’s like a blood mage.”

The Dark Mage and Findeneye showed their respective reactions, but I shouted again while inflicting pain on the dragged higher-level demon.

“Stop it. You have to run away as far as possible to take the time.”

[Kieeaek!]

The higher level demon rushed in again and started fighting the beasts.

He tore the beasts apart much more easily than when fighting the main demon.

The Dark Rage provides support with magic, and Finden Eye knocks down the beasts clinging to the wagon with an axe.

The beasts that appeared in front of the chariot burned them with the flame of a woman with a burnt face, the guardian spirit of Illuania.

Judging that the lives of Illuania and the fetus were in danger, she also added a hand.

The nuns also tried to help, but I immediately gave up.

“Stay still! You guys are always using magic on carriages and horses!”

“Ah, I see.”

In the first place, combat was not the nuns’ specialty. With their support magic, even horses should be able to run for a long time.

“by the way. What will happen if you run away? Maybe the devil runs away when the sun rises?”

“If it were that simple, there would be no need to worry.”

“but.”

Finden Ai doesn’t stop his hand even though he answers casually. It was a distance with Stella, which was gradually getting closer, but thanks to the support magic of the nuns, the carriage started to gain speed, and the distance began to be maintained.

Taking advantage of the gap, I stretched out the Remegeton as it was.

This time, the light does not focus on a single point like when dealing with demons, but it shoots out into the sky like an aurora.

to spread as widely as possible.

Seeing that, the Dark Spirit asked with a puzzled expression.

[Muh, what plans do you have? Even if you forcibly wake up the souls, you don’t forcefully handle them.]

“… … yes.”

For a necromancer, giving up the coercion of the soul could actually be called the most fatal flaw.

Of course, it wasn’t an unconditional belief that I had to protect even at the cost of my life.

At least in this case, there was no point in dealing with them forcibly.

[Even if you say that a lot of souls are summoned in the first place, the number is meaningless to that devil.]

One overwhelms ten, hundred, and thousand.

The Great Demon Velika was such an existence.

It doesn’t matter how many opponents there are.

“I know that too.”

Of course I knew.

But even so, it continued to awaken the spirits. It continues to summon countless dead who are sleeping in this land.

“Ahhh. Holy Maiden.”

The prayers of the abbess and other nuns echoed like sighs in the carriage.

He was praying for Stella, who had become a demon.

Hearing that, he naturally turned his gaze back to Stella.

The devil’s eyes have been reaching me ever since they were opened.

It looked like it was looking for something, and it looked like it was staring at a desirable prey.

“How come you look like that?”

“Ah, we should have done better.”

“Why didn’t we notice? Ah, Goddess Demeter.”

Looking at those scenes, Finden Ai put out a mocking laugh.

“Crazy bitches. I feel sorry for the bitch chasing after her in that way to kill them.”

The nuns did not stop praying even though they could clearly hear Findenai’s voice.

Their deaths were right around the corner, and prayers and blessings for Stella, who had become a hated devil, were recited without ceasing.

So the chase continued for a long time. The distance gradually widens, and if you think you have shaken it off before you know it, it will appear right next to you and swing your fist.

If Finden Eye hadn’t reacted in time and drained it away, the wagon would have been destroyed and everyone would have died.

“I-I think I’m really at my limit now!”

At the same time as Illuania’s cry, the sound of the horse’s hooves being pounded began to gradually fade away.

The harsh breathing of the words seemed to stop at any moment, and the nuns’ support magic was overloading like an overused medicine.

“And soon it is an inhabited village! It’s really dangerous!”

In fact, there was already a commotion in the village that could be seen from afar.

Checking the time, it’s 5:00 in the morning.

It was a dark night that could not be seen yet, but it was time for some people to start an early morning.

Stella’s size was huge and noisy, so it seemed like she was seen in the village too.

In fact, it wasn’t just the horse driving the carriage. There was no one who was not limited here.

The nuns were in a state of exhaustion from magic and prayers, and, uncharacteristically for Findeneye, the hand holding the ax was weak, and the black mage’s enormous mana was now showing the bottom.

Make sure to read from noble mtl dot com

Me too, who kept pouring mana into Remegeton.

The dizziness soared and I felt like I was going to vomit.

“This, didn’t you lose all your strength while running away?”

I shook my head at Finden Ai, who asked if I had to fight earlier.

“Enough is enough.”

The Dark Spirit and Finden Eye look at me asking what they mean. But I let out a rough breath as I reaped mana.

“Everything is ready.”

I look up slowly.

There were so many souls gathered there that they even covered the sky. All of them were forcibly awakened by Remegeton and gathered around me.

“I don’t know. Is there something eerie around you?”

[I think they gathered a lot.]

Even Findenai, who couldn’t see the spirits, felt uneasy, and the Dark Spirit stuck out his tongue as he looked at the spirits around him.

Where souls gather, other souls also gather.

It was the same situation I had already experienced once during a memorial service in North Sweden.

As the souls were gathered by Remegeton, other souls from far away came naturally to this place.

And everyone had their eyes on Stella.

“Saints are very special beings.”

“Ah? Who knows.”

[…] … What do you mean?]

Findenai grumbled, “What bullshit are you fighting?”, but the Dark Spirit listens to me.

The point at which the speed of the wagon gradually began to decrease and the distance to Stella began to decrease.

I told Illuania.

“The Holy Grail.”

Illuania took out the Holy Grail from the drawer hidden under the coachman’s chair and tossed it up.

The nuns who saw the Holy Grail were shocked and reacted in a commotion.

“Stop, stand, the Holy Grail?!”

“Did he exist? The Holy Grail!”

“Wait a minute, then the divine power dealt with by the memorial service… … !”

As if they noticed something, they let out exclamations, but they had no time to care.

[Sir, you are using the Holy Grail.]

The Black Mage spreads the distance right away. The divine power of the Holy Grail was such that even the Dark Mage could be annihilated if something went wrong.

It was the same with other souls.

Whether they are evil spirits or not, the divine power works fatally on all of them.

At first glance, it was a power that seemed omnipotent.

i know now

No, Stella told me.

It is very difficult to handle divine power, and if you do not handle it skillfully, you will simply become prey to demons.

Even if I have dealt with divine power indirectly through the Holy Grail, it is only the second time.

Even if the Holy Grail’s divine power was just poured into Stella, even if the Great Devil was damaged, it wouldn’t be fatal.

So, I continue what I said earlier.

“Saints are very special beings. And among those saints, Stella is a very special woman.”

No one could deny what I said.

Just as the nuns in the carriage had been praying for Stella even though they were on the verge of their own death.

Countless people on this continent received comfort and salvation from Stella, and it wasn’t just limited to the living.

“The dead.”

I look up at the sky.

Countless souls of the dead, obscuring the moon and stars, were looking down at us.

“The dead who are helpless and unable to do anything now, have been sleeping.”

He put in the remegeton that made them gather and continued his honest talk.

“Look at the words of a loving woman who comforted the continent.”

The distance with Stella gets closer. Her outstretched left hand seemed to touch the end of the carriage at any moment.

“Look at the end of the woman who gave her whole body to save you.”

Already some souls have started to leave. He was afraid of the Holy Grail and the devil, and it was because Remegeton’s coercive power had disappeared.

But even so, there were still countless souls gathered.

“Give your own happiness to others. Look at the end of that woman who even carried the misfortunes of others.”

I think so.

“Nevertheless, everyone turns their eyes and sees her ending falling into the hands of the Great Devil.”

God cannot save Stella.

God can never give Stella what she wants in the first place.

“Are you going to leave it like this?”

But if you ask me if I can get it.

“You really are! Will that woman’s life end in tragedy!”

That was also impossible.

I didn’t have the ability to hand over a redemption for Stella, worthy of her.

“My limbs are rubbing! for you! for your family! for posterity! For Jeongin! for friends! Will you really close your eyes without even a word of gratitude towards that woman who has only made sacrifices!”

If so, who can

in tragedy.

It presents happiness to others, but the thing that brings her out when she is locked up.

The people Stella pulled out of the tragedy.

To be precise, everything she had built up along the way.

“If you’re going to close your eyes like that, do it! Even after death, if you are going to fall asleep without knowing thanks, do it!”

Strongly lift the Holy Grail.

I felt my internal organs being twisted by the divine power flowing from my palms.

“But if you have any gratitude left! If you still have compassion for her!”

And the souls began to pour toward the Holy Grail.

“Walk your soul! For the woman who gave up her life for love! Give up death with gratitude!”

There were many souls who left.

There must have been souls who did not receive any grace from Stella.

They had no intention of letting go of their rest.

But more than that.

The souls who had received the grace of the saintess who had lived her whole life helping others were burning their souls with divine power.

Like a rescuer pouring water into a pit of fire.

Souls begin to burn like white flames. Those who have been touched by divine power will soon perish.

They started flying towards Stella, burning their own souls.
