I Became The Academy Necromancer chapter 111

111. epilogue

The moment he saw the crimson hair seen on the rooftop, he already knew her identity.

Dina, a monster surgeon who implanted a demonic beast into her body.

Among the monster surgeons belonging to Dante, she was a monster who ate everything with unique abilities.

At the time of Retry, the woman who appeared as a named mob when dealing with Dante.

By then, you’ll become proficient in the game play, and you’ll be able to deal with it without difficulty.

When I saw it directly in front of my eyes, the momentum was extraordinary.

Well, since it was Arya who easily dealt with Dina in the game, it must have been natural.

[Did you transplant multiple monsters?]

Since the returned Dark Spirit is calm, he observes Dina and gives his opinion. Certainly persuasive, but I shook my head.

“No, there is only one Witchbeast.”

[yes? but… … .]

“The human body is not strong enough to implant multiple demon beasts.”

However, the reason why it seems to contain multiple demons.

It was because he had put that kind of magic beast into his body. And when I saw it, it wasn’t just a witchcraft.

“There may be monsters that eat mana. But I’ve never heard of a witch who can even eat the soul and digest it as her own.”

I continued talking as I looked at Dina, who was becoming something hideous with a squeak.

“That’s not just a demon beast, it’s supposed to be something that combines a demon beast and a monster.”

[And transplanted it back into your body? Sounds really crazy… … It might be possible with Dante.]

“Yes, I guess.”

It was an eccentricity that was sufficiently possible for Dante, a group of black magicians.

To give an example, there was a human bone worm.

It was a monster, but it materialized as a parasite on Emily’s body.

A youkai and a high-ranking monster were fused, and Dina transplanted it into her own body.

Truly lucky.

It was a crazy act that fit the word mad wizard, but Dante had the technology to make it possible.

I wondered if it was probably something similar in nature to the Chinese yokai named Tam. A monster that ate everything and eventually ate itself.

It’s because you can eat everything, not just things with mouths, but also intangible things like mana and souls.

[So what are you going to do? Can you solve this?]

“You will be surprised at how simple it is.”

At my words, the dark mage smiles from behind the black cloth. It’s ridiculous and leans on my shoulder for no reason.

[Then couldn’t you move a little earlier? Finden Child and I had a hard time.]

“If the purpose was to kill Dina, it would have been.”

But my purpose was to see off the monsters. After realizing that the black man was Dina, he decided that there was no need to pursue her.

After all, if it were her, the procession of youkai would find her on her own.

It was enough to take care of Dina as a bonus while seeing off the monsters.

[What are you going to do?]

Dina gradually turned ugly. It was so bizarre that the whole body was made up of mouths, so people screamed and stepped back.

Even so, I can’t help but laugh at it.

That’s why I was thinking of killing Dina as quickly as possible. Just by her presence, she was already disrupting this procession.

Again I took out the Remegeton.

Originally, it was an existence that should have struggled quite a bit. Even at the time when he appeared as a named mob, his tenacious stamina and resilience were impressive.

“You should let them know that putting anything in your mouth hurts your body.”

I took out the black jewel from my bosom. It’s a pity, but the game is a tempo after all. This is a world that claims to be a game.

And I was holding a jewel that could only be called a fraud.

He threw the Remegeton towards the mouth of Dina, who had completely turned into a monster and seemed to have lost her mind.

gulp.

After eating it, Dina’s steps stopped. Instantly, black light begins to emanate from the body, and spirits pour out from the mouth of the whole body as if escaping.

[…] … is this right?]

He fought so hard, but the fact that his death was so meaningless made it seem a bit unfair from the perspective of the Dark Mage.

Finden-Eye and the Dark Spirit fought for their lives, and I would be offended to solve it with just one Lemegeton.

“That means she was not an important character in this story.”

Of course, there was a reason the two had to fight.

If Finden Eye and the Dark Spirit hadn’t fought in advance to drain Dina’s physical strength and drive her into her heart, she wouldn’t have turned her whole body into a monster like that.

Then, of course, I wouldn’t have swallowed the Remegeton I had.

After all, if the build-up is solid, the results come out well enough to be futile.

[It’s a little unfair.]

Still, while ignoring the grunting Dark Spirit, I feel Remegeton inside him.

In fact, this was also an experiment.

The energy of Remegeton felt stronger and I was convinced that it was looking for me.

Also, I felt the conviction that the connection with Lemegeton was tied more thickly.

It was clear at what point this happened.

‘Since Stella fell asleep.’

Former Saint Stella.

Since she began to fall asleep inside me, Remegeton’s assimilation rate began to increase.

He was convinced that this was probably because the great devil Velika assimilated with Stella.

Originally, if it was the feeling of simply borrowing and using Remegeton.

Now you are the real owner.

Unintentionally, thanks to the existence of Stella and Velika, it could be seen that Remegeton recognized me as a person.

“Kiaaagh!”

Dina screams and twists her body. My back breaks when I turn around, and I can’t digest all the evil spirits rampaging inside my body.

Of course.

“They say they eat everything, but that’s just a formula. You really can’t eat everything in the world.”

If she could truly eat everything without limits to her stomach, wouldn’t she be the ruler of this continent?

“It’s just a witch with good appetite.”

The twisted Dinah eventually collapses, unable to control herself. And a procession of monsters passing over it.

thud!

thud!

thud!

The monsters did not even recognize Dina’s existence and stepped on her, and she gradually collapsed and escaped from her human form.

I use mana to spread a thin fog so that people around me cannot see her misery.

“You eat a little too picky.”

In the end, what was left in its place was the stone of the dead, emitting light because it was ominous even among the damp corpses.

It’s not an item comparable to the Holy Grail for nothing.

The effect was clear.

[With this, I learned all about you from Dante.]

“Yes, I guess.”

Dawn was gradually rising. The procession of monsters was coming to an end, and people were clapping for us for showing a great performance despite being exhausted.

[Remegeton and my existence were all found out. Now, when dealing with you, Dante will prepare well.]

“Know.”

When I stretch out my hand, Remegeton wraps itself around my hand, which I recognized as the owner. It was slightly dirty, so I made water with magic and washed it lightly.

“But I, too, will continue to be strong.”

Extend Remegeton to absorb the souls of the dead. Second with this.

I have a soul that I have voluntarily imprisoned.

I needed to replenish my strength to fight Dante, so Dina’s soul, a warlock, will be of great help to me.

[…] … be careful.]

Seeing this, the Dark Mage looked at me and said she was worried. I thought it was because of the battle with Dante, but the back story tells me that it is not.

[You are like me and Dante. I hope you don’t get too carried away with black magic.]

“… … .”

[When dealing with souls, even people with iron will eventually see them as consumables.]

I understand what she’s worried about. I was afraid that I would abandon my current beliefs and change like ordinary black magicians.

[If you start to break down due to lack of strength, you will eventually forget that you are human like the monster surgeon now.]

“okay.”

[To fight monsters, please don’t become a monster.]

“Remember.”

At my words, the Dark Spirit carefully hugged me and then disappeared.

end of the festival.

Engaged with the rising sun, people laugh and talk about how they had fun and clean up after themselves.

They were happy while chewing on the memories of only a few hours ago, and were grateful to the monsters who gave them a unique time.

and among the crowd.

A boy walked up to me.

She seems to have stopped dressing as a woman, taking off her wig and changing her skirt into pants.

I asked, looking at Owen.

“How was it?”

before starting the festival.

I told Owen to feel and learn a lot while watching today’s festival.

“I think I now know why the monsters didn’t disappear.”

Owen opens his mouth and I listen calmly. I was relaxed and ready to wait.

“They wanted more than a grandfather from me. That’s what I was expecting. I hoped it would disappear with joy, not consolation.”

Owen always followed his grandfather’s footsteps, so he never thought or acted independently about the monsters.

That was the boy’s failure to walk on the wrong path.

“You showed that to me. It’s the first time I’ve seen them smile like that and disappear with satisfaction.”

The corner of the boy’s mouth rises slowly. Looking at the brilliant sunlight, remembering the poor people who left and smiling.

“Thank you for the enlightenment.”

I stroke Owen’s hair again.

“Your grandfather, Auster, was a comforting player.”

But Owen is different.

Recalling that the last performance Auster left for Owen was an impressive song with rising excitement.

“You are a pianist who plays for joy.”

“… … !”

Small clenched fist.

But there is a sense of duty in it.

It seemed that the future the boy would bring to smiles on the faces of many people with his small hands was already visible.

“Come with me, Owen.”

“yes?”

“I live high on your ability. You have the ability to walk the same path as me.”

However, it will be different for me. That’s why I needed him.

“When I am lost, I may need your playing.”

Owen gulped and tried to hold my hand, but hesitated for a moment.

“Ha, but without me, youkai will appear again in Claren.”

After all, Claren is a city of artists.

Although the monsters born from their imaginations will continue to appear.

“That’s why we held this festival.”

The opposite was of course also possible.

“I plan to make today’s event into a thought body with the name Baekgwiyahaeng.”

“yes?”

The thought body wasn’t just a youkai. Thoughts could be attached to any unique phenomenon itself.

School ghost stories were typical examples of that category.

“Just as the imaginations of artists become monsters, the hopes of those who look forward to this annual event will again create today’s landscape.”

Just one day every year.

A day will come when youkai will appear.

“ah… … .”

Owen bursts out in exclamation. He seemed to realize that if this happened, there would be no more problems with the monsters that disappeared every year.

“Now, you don’t have to be here anymore.”

Make sure to read from noble mtl dot com

Just like Auster wanted.

I wanted to show the boy a wider world.

As much as I needed, I intended to tell and show the boy as many things as I needed.

“okay.”

back.

Owen’s hand slowly reaches out and grabs my hand tightly. It was a hand with a firm will to accompany me.

So we head back to the hotel. Now the story of Claren, the city of artists, is over.

The time has come to leave again.

Like the epilogue, Owen shivered and turned his head toward me.

“But why did my grandfather and I have the ability?”

I gave him a soft answer to him who said he couldn’t understand this much.

“What was your ability?”

“yes? If you play the blood and piano, you can see the spiritual bodies.”

At Owen’s bewildered answer, I continue to ask questions.

“What were you trying to do with that ability?”

“Uh, I was trying to make youkai become Buddhas.”

“Yes, then think about who was the one who needed that ability the most.”

“… … A monster?”

Owen looks at me with wide eyes. Seeing the naive boy’s emotional expression, I smiled slightly.

“They didn’t go looking for you because you have the ability.”

An elderly master who can comfort even a monster through outstanding technique and a performance that touches people’s heartstrings.

A boy who sympathizes with them enough, has a good heart, and will never let go of the piano.

“They chose you.”

Also, it will be the last gift the monsters left to the boy who did not give up on them until the very end.
