I Became The Academy Necromancer chapter 173

173. Victims

A huge chandelier in a banquet hall that looks splendid and unsettling, like something out of a mystery novel.

The soft fur floor with brown patterns covers the soles of your feet, and the soft lights on the wall make you forget that it is night.

A circular table prepared for the ambassadors of each country.

Starting with the Griffin Kingdom, the German Kingdom. The Principality of Ballestan, which is quite far from the Clark Republic, and even an empire in the east that is slowly fading away.

A considerable number of people attended the banquet, and this alone was a part of the ability of the Griffin Kingdom.

I don’t know about the kingdom of Zeerman, which is just across the desert, but I started with a small country like the Principality of Ballestan, and now I’ve called up an empire that’s not treated well.

Splendid food on each table. Especially, there was a lot of meat, but it seemed like a menu with Margan’s taste.

Of course, not everyone could enter the banquet hall, so only the three siblings of the Verdi family were able to attend.

Three people sat at one table, and at the other Griffin’s table, Princess Eleanor, Saint Lucia, and Judgment Tyrn sat down.

“Ha ha.”

As soon as she sat down, Deia quietly put aside the champagne in front of her and asked for water.

Alcohol was the republic’s special solo drink, which was hard to find in the kingdom, but you couldn’t get drunk in a tense situation.

Deius licks his lips, but holds back for now. Only Darius sips out of courtesy.

“But a lot of big names have gathered.”

Darius, who is an unmanned man, thought at a glance that there were quite a few talented people gathered.

Starting with Oscorp, the Superman of the Republic of Clark, guarding the entrance right now.

“The shield of the Principality of Balestan, Tom. I heard it’s the size of a bear, but it’s actually quite impressive.”

A man named Tom from the Principality of Balestan was sitting on two chairs, as if one was not enough, and was already drinking from a bottle.

Even hard liquor seemed to him like a drink.

“Since the heir to the principality has arrived, it must be to protect it in case of an unexpected situation.”

Deia puts her chin on his chin and checks the side of the Principality of Ballestan. Since he was the smallest among the people called here, the young man, the heir to the principality, was keeping an eye on him while pretending to be calm.

“From the Han Empire, Hanso, an old woman who was once called a warrior, has arrived.”

“Since the Empire is now in jeopardy, it would have been impossible to remove key personnel. If it’s a martial god, it’s worth the name, but it seems like the old man came out because there’s nothing to say about retirement soon.”

“…… Do you really have to add a word to my feelings like that?”

Deia, who is politically accepting of Darius’ feelings, who was excited to meet great warriors, shrugs his shoulders.

The Principality of Balestan and the Han Empire had borders, but the relationship was not very good, so the tables were placed end to end.

Perhaps the reason for attending the banquet was that they were conscious of each other.

“The most important kingdom, German, gave me quite a bit of strength.”

Zerman Kingdom located in the Sahar Desert beyond the Great Forest of Marias. Those who tried to prepare a foothold for the Griffin Aggression War by using the Marias.

Unbeknownst to the others, Deus and Arya already knew that within a few years they would be putting forth a giant boot towards the Griffin Kingdom.

Starting with that, blood and wind started to blow again on the continent.

“The phantom beast of the desert, Zornia.”

A tanned skin and strong muscles. Even though it is a banquet, he wears a sword with a curved blade like an ax called a kopis on his waist.

“Looks like the giants have gathered in one place. Aren’t you doing sparring or something?”

Deia clicks her tongue as Darius sniffs and mutters to him.

“What are you going to do anyway?”

“What are you talking about? I am also a famous warrior called the giant of Northwedon.”

“So you were pierced by a doberman?”

“That, that bastard is because of the bomb…… !”

“Okay. In any case, we have an admiration, so we won’t fall behind in terms of strength.”

“… ….”

In fact, it was not at the level of lagging behind, but rather, the intimidation of Sorcerer Judge Tairn was spreading so viciously that even others noticed.

A gentle speculation that if you spit out even the slightest nonsense or insults, you will pay the price right away.

“Would you like to smoke one?”

At that time, she was a maid who brought something on a silver tray. Deus’s eyes widen before he can properly check what it is.

“Sniff! Sniff sniff!”

A reaction I’ve already seen once.

Unexpectedly, when the lady-in-waiting checked the tray she had brought out, tobacco plants much thicker than her fingers were politely arranged there.

‘It’s not just the beginning of the year.’

It was a drug.

The Clark Republic is so proud that it even manufactures drugs. In the first place, the relevant laws themselves are different from other countries.

Darius refused and Dayus said he couldn’t stand it and saliva flowed from his mouth.

“All right, all right.”

I endured it by forcefully turning her head. Quite a peculiar look.

“Give me one.”

While looking down at the beginning of the year, Deia takes one and puts it in her arms.

She had no intention of smoking it herself, and she intended to keep it for now in preparation for her unforeseen situation.

“You… ….”

“They are crazy people who give drugs to VIPs. I’ll have to check what you gave me.”

“But… ….”

The moment Darius couldn’t stand it and was about to say something, Margan and his female secretary walked out onto the stage in front of the banquet hall.

The sight of him waddling around holding the microphone looked quite unsightly, so small laughter came from several tables.

Those who knew about his true identity did not move their lips at all.

It’s because each of those appearances didn’t look like anything more than a forced appeal that he was an insignificant human being in the end.

“Everyone who attended today’s banquet. Really welcome. As you all know, I am Margan Thorles. I am the president of the Clark Republic.”

A brief self-introduction.

In addition to the obvious greetings that follow, he pours out words that do not contain any sincerity to work together for the future and peace of the continent.

Deia glanced down at the empty glass. He intentionally placed the glass so he could see the other tables.

‘The Kingdom of Zeerman doesn’t seem interested. One empire is acting to appear friendly, while Balestan’s heir is…….’

The young heir of Balestan is wiping the tears that shine through the glass.

I’ve heard that the devil’s whispers give false impressions to humans, but I’m sure there are people in this room who are moved by Ma Gan’s cunning tongue.

‘If it’s acting, that’s really great.’

But no matter how much I looked at it, it didn’t look like acting. Tom, who had come to assist him, even patted him on the shoulder, telling him to come to his senses.

“Now! You all! These are people with a lot of honorable positions and burdens. However, for today, put all of that down!”

The corner of Magan’s mouth is torn.

“I hope you enjoy your dinner.”

Quaaang!

The sound of an explosion coming out.

The unstable chandelier falls, and black smoke and dust envelope the body in strong winds.

The wall with the entrance to the banquet hall collapses like a tsunami, and one side of the banquet hall is buried in rubble.

In addition to Oscorp, the superhuman standing in front of him, countless Republic attendants are also covered in piles of stones, with thick blood oozing out.

From noble mtl dot com

“Keep your head down!”

Deia urgently protects Deius. He shoves the trembling man under the table in surprise, then he makes eye contact with Darius.

“I will protect you. Start with understanding the situation.”

“Okay.”

I turn my gaze to the table where Eleanor is.

Fortunately, it was already protecting the princess and the saint at the same time by expanding the range of protective magic of the robe that Tyreen was wearing.

“Is that okay?!”

Since the smoke and dust made it difficult to see the table next to it, Eleanor asked about the situation.

“It’s okay, Princess! All the Verdi siblings are safe!”

Eleanor breathes a sigh of relief at Darius’ booming cry.

I don’t know what the other camps are like, but it was clear that she was trapped in the banquet hall anyway.

Everyone must be confused.

All the lights in the banquet hall had already lost their light, and Saint Lucia was the first to reach out amidst the explosions and smoke that came from unknown sources.

“Everyone, calm down.”

A white orb protrudes from her palm and heads towards the part where the chandelier used to be in the banquet hall. Even amidst the dust and smoke, the light spread purely without allowing any impurities.

Shortly, the light of divine power illuminates the entire banquet hall.

“Ah.”

“That is a saint.”

“Is it divine power?”

Unsurprisingly, there were no victims at any table.

Since all of the warriors famous on the continent were included in the party, a surprise attack of this magnitude was unpredictable.

After confirming that, Deia and Eleanor’s gazes head to the place where Margan was at the same time.

“Crazy.”

“Couldn’t you resist your instincts? Foolishly.”

I tried to declare that the diplomatic image of the Clark Republic was completely over, scolding Magan for daring to do such a trick while sitting so many delegations from each country.

“Huh?”

No voice came out.

No, the situation itself was not properly grasped.

I thought everyone was okay.

Because there was the only victim of this attack.

Because the sword stabbed from the nape of the neck was drawn long, the internal organs were clearly visible.

A long splatter of blood.

The breath has already been cut off.

Inverted eyes.

A shrunken body as if the wind had blown away.

The body of the great demon Magan was there.
