I Became The Academy Necromancer chapter 198

198. 4Th Floor

“You see.”

I realized the moment I heard why I couldn’t take my eyes off Jortu and the two maids.

-21. Meals are replenished daily. Please feel free to eat to your heart’s content.

It was because of the question of whether a servant would be needed in a mansion that has the function of automatically filling meals.

Of course, since I’ve seen ghosts or monsters like this over and over again, I answered without much emotion.

“Who are you?”

“What do you mean by that?!”

Hanso, who was next to me, panicked and tried to stop me from asking a rude question, but the maids responded quickly.

One was split in half, and grotesque teeth were densely embedded in it.

The whole body looked like a mouth.

Conversely, the maid who was trying to carry the corpse of Jortu ran up the stairs with it wrapped around her back.

Runs up the stairs five steps at a time and disappears in an instant.

“Woo-wook.”

This side’s reaction was also a bit unexpected. Hanso, who is called a god of war, shuts her mouth when she sees the bizarrely transformed maid, probably because of her weak stomach.

“Please come to your senses.”

At the same time as she sighed, the blue flames that floated on both of my shoulders were shot straight at her maid.

Simple containment.

As if it was natural, the maid showed no response even after being hit by the sparks, and she rushed.

“…… ?”

It was a check.

Rather than thinking of doing something through this, I tried to drag the time and cooperate with Hanso or connect it with other magic.

A woman who flings her body as if nothing really hit her.

The maid’s huge mouth was about to devour me and she used her protection magic to block her way just in case.

The maid flies right through even her protection magic.

“Avoid!”

Hanso blew her body to protect me, so the maid’s gigantic teeth passed me, but she quickly got into a position and prepared to attack again with the sound of her purring breathing.

“Do you need this?”

As I secretly handed out the Meng Tian Wu Feng, which I received as a reward, to Han Su, who was still holding it in his hand, he nodded his head excitedly.

“One of the lost treasures of an empire. Used by warriors in the past to swear to the sky that they would perpetuate the path of nothingness…… !”

“Please take it.”

As soon as I handed it over without hesitation, Hanso put on a puzzled expression.

To him, I gestured at her maid.

“Please deal with that woman instead.”

“Well, you don’t seem like an ordinary human.”

Han So steps forward holding the Maengcheon Wu Peak. He took a deep breath and glared at her maid, and the confrontation between the two did not last long.

Poof!

The maid blowing her body once again.

But she wasn’t as much of a threat this time around.

A cow’s mighty stick struck her from above and entered, and the maid who rushed at her was crushed to the floor and her green blood spurted out in all directions.

Hanso stamped her with her foot to finish off her wriggling maid.

But here another singularity occurred.

Kooung!

His heavy heel passed through her maid and hit her floor.

“Hmm?”

Hanso hurriedly stepped away in panic, but now I realized.

‘Are they something that can only be killed with the items given in the Nightmare War?’

Judging from the fact that my magic didn’t work and Hanso’s heel passed through, it seemed that these special beings could only be dealt with with the items obtained as a reward from the Dream War.

I immediately think of Lemegeton in my room. If you use it to deal with magic, you can do damage.

‘There is no soul.’

Unlike other necromancers, I do not breed and use souls, so of course I do not carry a separate soul inside me.

Since I wandered around the dream world and couldn’t even see a separate soul, Remegeton was actually useless to me now.

In the end, it was said that he was in a defenseless state where he could use basic elemental magic or a few.

Then what should I do now?

“It seems my magic is not working here.”

As I speak, Hanso nods as if he noticed something, and replies quickly.

“If Lord Deius hadn’t given me the sword, I would have been brutally murdered too. I owe you my life, so I will protect you here.”

He is not a warrior who is called a god of war for nothing and is praised in an empire.

It was easy to deal with because he had a lot of affection, but he had an honest personality that clearly gave back as much as he received.

“Then go upstairs with me. We need to find out where the maid just took Zortu’s body.”

“Mmm!”

Just as they said, Hanso and I went up to the second floor.

From noble mtl dot com.

In the hallway on the second floor stood a dark mage holding a book and tilting her head as if wondering.

Judging by the library nameplate on the door behind her, it seemed that she had come out of a commotion while reading a book.

“What’s up?”

An expression of wanting to hold someone accountable for disturbing one’s reading.

He gestured without needing to explain.

“Come with me too.”

“What?”

“I won’t have anything to do anyway.”

The dark magician made a displeased expression at the feeling of being dragged around by her, but Hanso and I ignored her and immediately went up one more floor.

It was because Zortu’s bloodstains were connected to the third floor.

“Keuheum, it’s difficult.”

I was troubled when I saw bloodstains extending beyond the 3rd floor to the 4th floor.

“The number of floors allowed for us is up to the third floor.”

-4. The number of floors allowed for guests is up to the third floor.

One of the rules of

Demon Wars.

Certainly, the stairs to the 4th floor were not covered with antique covers like the stairs we just passed, and were uneven.

“What are you afraid of?”

The Dark Spirit, who has been in a bad mood, strides up to the 4th floor, swept away by emotions.

Looking at his back, I asked Hanso.

“Do you know what the sanctions are for breaking the rules?”

“…… Hmm? No, I’ve never seen anyone else break it.”

After hearing the answer, I stride up the stairs, following the dark mage.

I needed to properly check what would happen if I broke the rules.

Although it was risky.

‘Anyway, unless you know all the rules of Nightmare, there’s only one thing that’s dangerous.’

-20. Even if you don’t know the rules of Nightmare, the rules apply.

It was better to recognize that I had broken a rule and come forward rather than to be beaten by something because I had broken a certain rule without my knowledge.

And let me express my honest feelings.

‘I don’t want to send the Dark Spirit alone.’

If the 18-year-old Dark Spirit dies here, the Dark Spirit I know will disappear.

‘It’s difficult.’

At the same time, a constant worry lingered inside me.

The 18-year-old Dark Spirit must have been able to come to Robern Academy because she survived the nightmare battle.

‘I never thought the day would come when I would worry about the time paradox.’

I sigh in a situation that can only be seen in science fiction movies, and first of all, I act the way I want.

In the end, even if you think about it in this situation, you will only bite your tail.

‘It is much wiser to act instinctively.’

I wondered if I could reach the result naturally if I acted the way I wanted to do right away rather than thinking about something while moving.

“Oops, that smells disgusting.”

I step a little faster and Hanso walks in front of me and mumbles while covering his nose.

Certainly, the Dark Spirit also coughed and his breathing became shallow due to the stench.

“… ….”

It wasn’t just the stench. Step by step, the stairway was gradually stepped on with sticky mucus, and the walls were damp.

I felt like an explorer exploring a cave, but it wasn’t very pleasant.

When we arrived on the 4th floor, we were greeted by a structure in the form of a huge hall rather than a hallway.

As I climbed the stairs, I couldn’t see anything on the 4th floor even though my eyes adjusted to the darkness, so eventually the dark wizard in the front reached out and lit a purple light.

Then, at the far end, I saw a maid.

She was inserting Zortu’s corpse into a huge hole in the wall, but the hole was slithering and devouring the corpse.

“Ha.”

It was quite a bizarre sight, but rather the Dark Spirit sneered at it, saying it was trivial.

“Only this?”

Let’s raise the question of whether it’s this kind of atmosphere to capture the atmosphere as it is and show it in its own way.

Something pouring up from the surrounding floor.

From the outside, it looks like a human being, but judging from the fact that its lower body is connected to the floor with tentacles, everything seemed to be connected as one.

“Ordinary magic does not work on them.”

I warned the dark mage, but she snorted, saying it was absurd.

“I know that much.”

And then she took out a small staff of hers from her bosom. She also seemed to be a reward, but now I realize that she knows more about the nightmare war than I thought.

‘I can’t think of the dark mage I know.’

Even though he’s younger, he has a sharper feeling than the dark spirits I know, and I felt very regretful about that.

“Wake up, trash.”

An evil spirit that flowed through the Dark Spirit’s mana. It had a purple aura all over its body, but it looked more like a shadow than a human and soared high into the sky.

As it is, it rushes at the dark mage.

“Ha ha.”

Quad Deuk!

[Keep it off!]

At the same time as the Dark Spirit sighed, the whole body contorted and the evil spirit squeezed like a twist.

“It’s like this every time it comes out.”

After inflicting pain once, the evil spirit now lowered its head towards the dark mage and flew towards the strange beings around it.

The soul moves between them like a sword, cutting through everything.

“… ….”

And the moment I saw that, I couldn’t help but shut my mouth.

Necromancer.

They basically deal with many evil spirits.

Of course, the method of calming down does not work. I’ve been told and taught time and time again that necromancers deal with souls in a way that causes pain to them.

I have never seen a proper necromancer besides me.

The case of the evil spirits that were entangled in the Griffin Kingdom was a bit of a special case.

The standard of necromancy.

The Dark Spirit was showing it now.

“You idiot, I am not something to protect.”

[Quaaagh!]

As the Dark Spirit clenches her fist in warning, the spirit screams again and hurries back to the Dark Spirit.

Suddenly, in my first encounter with Magan, the conversation between him and the Dark Mage comes to mind.

‘I have never treated a soul as a human being, even for a moment.’

‘They are just my magic and tools.’

I finally feel the weight and meaning of those words.

Obviously, the way the Dark Mage was doing now was against my beliefs.

“What should I do? Shall we fight?”

For Hanso, who is waiting for me to decide what to do, I ponder for a while and then create a light on my palm.

Simple magic to say that he learned it from Erika, an authority on light magic.

Without destructive power, I threw the orb inside, turning my shoulders wide to light up the surrounding darkness.

The magic that flew in a parabolic arc explodes like a flashbang and brightens the light.

Humanoid tentacles were not just springing up from the floor, but also from the walls and ceiling.

There was also something dangling from the ceiling, like a huge wasp nest.

But even in the midst of that, there was a place where the tentacles didn’t spring up, and I frowned as I looked at that place.

Written in red letters, the new rules of the Nightmare War caught my eye.

-27. There are 110 guest rooms. There is no 111. If you find Room 111 and there are people staying there, kill them immediately. This is an uninvited guest.

-29. There is no 4th floor in Nightmare.

The light goes out.

The damp darkness strikes again. Feeling the cool down my back, I asked Hanso.

“Did you just see it?”

“What do you mean? I did see something that looked like a uvula hanging from the ceiling.”

“…… Uvula?”

Indeed, it is.

At first I thought of a wasp’s house, but depending on how you look at it, you could see it as a uvula.

Puzzle fit in my head.

A bumpy staircase.

Wet floors and walls.

Unbearable stench.

Rule 27 is also annoying, but rule 29 first.

There is no 4th floor in Dream Demon.

Thump!

I jumped in, grabbed the wrist of the dark mage, and ran towards the stairs again.

“Kyaaak!”

The bewildered dark spirit is dragged out by my hand, and her evil spirit is also in a hurry, so she follows. Likewise, Hanso ran up to me and asked.

“Why, why?”

“There is no 4th floor in Dream Magic.”

“Well then, where are we stepping on?”

When Hanso asked in bewilderment, she tried to answer with her mouth slightly open, but the words didn’t come out easily.

Because even thinking about it was absurd.

The idea that this entire 4th floor was the mouth of a certain monster was an absurd idea that I couldn’t afford to say.

“Did you see the rules?!”

A dark mage who shakes off my hand and runs as it is. When I nodded her head, the Dark Spirit gritted her teeth.

“Anyway, what is so disappointing about this mansion?”

“It’s not just the mansion issue.”

“Huh?”

“What do you mean?”

The Dark Mage and Hanso asked again, but I dared not say anything. If we get out of here anyway, we’ll both find out.

‘Reward did not appear.’

Even though I learned about Rules 27 and 29, the rewards did not come immediately.

It means that someone has already seen the 4th floor, and it means that they deliberately hid the information.

The road on the 4th floor gradually began to narrow. The two of them were taken aback, but it seemed that the monster named Fourth Floor was keeping its mouth shut to prevent us from escaping.

The human-shaped tentacles that followed were also chasing after them with monstrous momentum.

“Does this look dead?”

A dark mage who speaks calmly.

I could see the third floor, but I thought it would be impossible at this speed.

But at that moment.

The white bandages made of mana protruding from the third floor snatched us up and pulled us back.

“Huh? Huh?!”

“Oohhh!”

Listening to the screams of the Dark Mage and Hanso, I don’t know what it is, but I entrusted myself to it helping us.

I was able to reach the third floor in an instant as my body floated up.

Wow!

At the same time, the 4th floor is closed.

It was disgusting to see him munching and looking to see if we were in his mouth.

Anyway, we managed to escape thanks to outside help.

‘It was dangerous.’

Still, there was something clearly gained.

Correcting ourselves, we check the person who saved us.

It was a little boy with blonde hair.

The kid who sprinted into the room by himself when he threatened Zor Tuna earlier.

‘It was definitely Room 101.’

I remember being the boy who was using the very first room.

“I really thought I was going to die.”

“Thank you, child.”

The grumbling Dark Mage and the grateful Hanso.

From noble mtl dot com.

The boy was scratching his head shyly, but strangely, his hair and appearance were familiar.

I casually asked the boy.

“What is your name?”

The boy wearing the robe replied with his face blushing in embarrassment.

“My name is Luanes.”
