I Became The Academy Necromancer

96. lesser evil happy ending

That the saintess would lose her divine power.

It wasn’t simply that the gods had reserved the next person, so they had to hand it over.

Could it be that the saintess had some other ulterior motive behind the scenes?

Couldn’t the gods have known that and took away the power?

People celebrating their retirement, but questioning their premature departure.

But all I can give them is a smile.

Even though I thought it was inevitable to have such doubts, I was grateful that it gave me an opportunity to look back on myself to see if I was doing something wrong.

And left.

Since the divine power is gone, the protection like the tabernacle of the gods is also gone.

After blessing the new saint, Lucia, I left in search of a place far away where there were no people.

The demons came somewhere in Griffin Kingdom. A forest without a name.

There, for days and days, they were treated as playthings by demons.

The pain was more dizzying than I could have imagined, and my body was damaged beyond compare to anyone else’s.

However, the demons’ grudge did not last forever.

The devil who bit off his hand said he was full and left as it was.

The devil who made my legs rot and abandoned me saying that it was no longer fun.

The demons who plucked out the eyes said they were having fun and chewed it up and left.

I thought everything was over.

One demon remained by my side.

“that’s interesting.”

She stayed until the end and was quite interested.

about me.

“Are you not sick?”

It can’t be.

Even if it hurts, it hurts too much.

I screamed a few times, passed out several times, and shamefully incontinence.

I still remember when I was forced to turn around as I slapped myself in a pool of blood.

It was the first time I regretted not being able to see. At the time, I didn’t even know if the sun was up or the moon was up.

My skin was so hot I couldn’t even feel the air around me.

“Is it daytime now? Or is it night?”

So I asked the devil.

Then the devil laughed and clicked his tongue.

“It is night. However, the moon is so bright that you can clearly see the surroundings.”

like that.

“That’s too bad. I want to see you too.”

Even though I was looking towards the sky that I would never see again, a small smile came to my lips.

“What is funny?”

I gave a gentle answer to the devil who asked me nervously.

“Because it gave Lucia enough time to become a new saint.”

“under.”

The devil who clicked his tongue in amazement slowly approached me, and I was certain that this was the end.

what to take

left hand?

Or will you take your own life?

I waited for the devil with the intention of accepting anything.

She was more unique than I thought.

The pain in my body is gone.

After healing the wound, she put her hand on my head.

“Saint Stella. I’ve met many saints, but this is the first time a bitch like you.”

“Is that a compliment?”

“Well. I’m not sure. Anyway, I’m curious about you.”

“… … Yes?”

For a moment, I felt something squeezed into my head. I couldn’t even scream at the shock, which was more painful than any torture, and I couldn’t even think about breathing.

“My name is Velika. One of the 10 great demons on the continent who is in charge of deformities.”

My body tensed up at those words, but I couldn’t resist anymore.

“Among the saints, you, a woman who is close to being deformed, I will savor yourself.”

how long has it been

Losing my eyes, Belika dwelled in my body and lived groping in my memory.

The citizens who always worshiped and cheered as a saint did not even look at me, who lost their hands, their legs were rotted, and even their eyes were plucked out.

It must have been something I did because I didn’t know that I was a saint, but it definitely hurt me greatly.

But it’s okay.

The people who smiled brightly through the path I walked.

The people who bowed their heads in gratitude and confidently declared that they would live a new life still remain in my heart.

Rather, because I was blind, I was able to live in the memories of the past.

I was always able to smile thinking of their smiles.

I lived such a life.

The gods took away my holy power, and I fell in an instant and was crawling on the bottom, but I thought I had already accomplished everything I could.

Even if I die like this and cannot be embraced by God.

Actually, they thought it was okay if they didn’t reap the dead.

But that wasn’t it.

One day, Velika, who was with me, told me.

“If you die like this, there will be no rest.”

“Yes?”

“The devil’s grudge is deep. Even now, there are many demons who continue to watch over you and wait for you after your death.”

In an instant, thanks to the senses that Velika opened up, I could feel those eerie gazes.

Countless ghastly eyes were watching me from all sides.

Seeing myself broken, crawling on the floor, walking through the alleys, getting dirty.

They were watching, giggling and laughing like spectators at a play in a theater.

“Although the devil has no great interest in the human soul. you are different Nobility that far surpasses that of ordinary humans. That will be the greatest entertainment for demons.”

“… … .”

“After death, what awaits you is the life of demons as playthings.”

finally.

Suffering that continues after death.

It was the sound of hardships and tribulations never ending.

“ah.”

It was the first time.

Hot tears flowed from the plucked out eyes.

No, it must have been blood flowing instead of tears because she couldn’t shed tears.

The sticky blood that flowed through the bandage soaked my hand, and the pain of my heart being crushed twisted my chest.

The end of life is not a quiet rest where everything is forgotten, but only despair playing in the hands of demons.

Was this really the path God had prepared for me?

If so, what the heck does that mean?

“That… … Why did you say that?”

I let out a rough breath and asked Velika. Her voice was soft, not devilishly soft.

“From now on, I will eat your memories.”

“… … .”

“You can’t stand this any longer. I know because I’ve been with you for years. If you don’t do this, you will eventually break.”

“Why the hell… … .”

why are you for me

But I couldn’t put those words into my mouth. She probably didn’t answer my question either.

so i

everyday.

I started to lose my memory.

* * *

Why was I here yesterday?

Asking it has become a routine to start the day. I asked Velika where this was, and she told me what I was going to do.

At the end of such a long and long journey, I returned to the Elia Convent.

I just prayed there.

I am afraid of death, but ask for courage to overcome it.

I just prayed and prayed.

But.

“Huh, ugh.”

I couldn’t get over it.

There was a limit to the pain that would continue forever even after death, with simple human mental strength.

in their insults and tortures.

Not being able to lose consciousness with even death gone gave me an overwhelming sense of fear.

But thanks to Velika.

Yesterday’s pain has not carried over to today.

I always lived in the same agony, but the next day I started all over again, forgetting the pain I had been through.

Then one day.

Thought I was asleep, I realized that my hands were damp.

When I woke up again, I was embarrassed that my memory of yesterday was intact.

And Velika said.

“I have called someone who can bring you the end of everything.” Called.

I did not understand.

I didn’t know what that meant.

However, soon after hearing the story of the murder at the convent and the summoning of the devil from the abbess, I found out.

That Velika did something with my body.

Is it because you’ve been with me too long?

She was able to move my body without me knowing.

That day, I raised my voice and fought with Velika for the first time.

“That didn’t work! I don’t know what you’re up to, but you shouldn’t have killed innocent children!”

“I wasn’t innocent. Their eyes were full of greed. It’s my word as a devil, so you can believe it.”

“But… … !”

“In the first place, they were blind people who summoned demons to become saints.”

“You can be foolish, but you can repent and regenerate! Humans can change!”

“stellar.”

It was the first time.

The reason why Velika’s voice was so kind.

“You have taken on too much pain.”

“… … .”

“I am your only understanding. Stella, your end shouldn’t be like this. You must not play the last in the clutches of filthy demons like me.”

“Bell, Rika?”

“Even though I want to protect you, other great demons are also targeting you. Since I have been with you for a long time, I must be coveted.”

Velika also apologized for unintentionally, saying that her existence had been like inviting other demons.

“I cannot give you rest.”

“… … .”

“There will be no pain after death either.”

smile.

Why?

I couldn’t see it, but I got the feeling that Velika was laughing.

“I am the deformed great devil, Velika.”

“… … .”

“That’s why even the devil’s qualities may have been bizarrely twisted.”

I tried to call her, but no words came out of my mouth.

However, even though it was a rough hand, it felt like it was gently hugging me.

“You won, Stella.”

* * *

But things got twisted.

It seems that Velika was trying to call Saint Lucia to the convent.

It was the first man he had ever heard of.

It was Deius Verdi, the memorial lord.

After the nuns died, even though Velika didn’t take away my memory, I continued to act out my memory loss.

I can’t explain the reason to the abbess.

But quite coincidentally.

Thanks to losing my memory, I talked a lot with the memorial spirit, and he uncovered my secret.

No, me and Velika induced me to find it.

With Velika’s help, my leg healed, and it wasn’t until then that I realized what Velika’s intentions were.

I decided to act according to her intentions.

It was fortunate that Deus had the Holy Grail. Because naturally we could die.

And now.

I am facing my end in a truly beautiful sight.

A situation where countless souls with divine power cling to me and try to offer me salvation in the name of death.

“stellar.”

To me, who was just holding this beautiful sight in my eyes, Velika spoke.

“Yes?”

Even so, since she was the Great Devil, if it came out of my body, I would die immediately from the shock, but she would be able to live.

But Velika didn’t leave.

It just stayed with me.

“I don’t think I can be anything more than comrade Gil. Only God knows the title of the saint who first annihilated the Great Devil.”

“… … .”

“I’m sorry I couldn’t prepare for this ending.”

Really, you don’t know what.

“Nope.”

Countless souls are working hard for me. I was really sorry to throw away their rest.

Even so, I too will be swept away by the divine power and perish together.

At least I can be with them.

“At this end, I could be myself again.”

The spirits and Velika that let me know that everything I’ve been doing is not wrong.

and Deius Verdi.

“I just want to thank you.”

Suffering that continues after death.

In order to cut it off, it was necessary for my soul itself to perish.

for saving me

thank you everyone

Thank you, Velika.

And thank you, Shinwoo Kim.

Eyelids that gradually began to close from fatigue.

I smiled slowly.

all.

Bye.

Kwak!

at the edge of extinction.

I opened my eyes involuntarily at the rough feeling of grabbing my wrist.

“If you want to call the lesser evil that avoids the worst a happy ending.”

Pulling me as I was disappearing, the memorial service gave me a faint smile.

“I will not let you go.”
