I Became The Academy Necromancer chapter 214

214. Start

Before the big debate begins.

We needed to find a clear answer to what our victory really is.

Griffin’s gigantic execution ground used again for the great debate.

I was talking about him while facing Lucia at the table in the waiting room.

“It’s embarrassing.”

“But that is the truth.”

He seemed quite shocked to hear that the identity of the man named Mule was Romuleus, a fallen god, but he did not disbelieve it.

After all, she didn’t think that the mule was an existence within our common sense.

“Then it must be said that divine power does not actually work?”

Laughs bitterly as he deliberately points to the Holy Grail Lucia brought.

After her last Clark Republic incident, she handed it to her.

“Yes, after all, it is one of the subjects of divine power.”

[I’m powerless.]

Stella, who accompanied Lucia, also felt sorry for me for some reason.

The fact that the divine power does not work on the opponent means that Lucia and Stella are no different from civilians after all.

“Not only that. If they do fight, normal weapons or magic can’t do any damage.”

I said it calmly, but this part was actually the part that bothered me the most.

The reason I knew this was because of my experience with the Nightmare War.

Romuleus, whom he met in the Nightmare War, did not suffer any damage except for the treasures he created there.

I still remember clearly how things like my magic and Hanso’s fist passed through.

‘At first, I thought it was the rules of the Nightmare War, but.’

There was no such rule in The Nightmare War, and in the first place, Romuleus was not something that could be contained in the Nightmare War.

Even when he shot magic at Mule, who was looking for Arya at the academy, he didn’t suffer any damage, and he didn’t even feel pain.

“Even if he crashed, he must still be a god. Mere insignificant creatures cannot touch themselves.”

Lucia’s expression darkened at my words. From the point of view of serving God, this situation would not be very pleasant.

[Lucia, wake up.]

But next to her, Stella shook her head.

[Do not equate him with the gods we serve.]

“Miss Stella.”

[Also obviously keep in mind.]

With a smile, Stella declared in a steady voice.

[What we serve God for.]

It was a word with a connotative meaning.

It was a very undesirable thing for her former saintess to say.

Rather, thanks to her confident declaration, Lucia seemed to be determined again.

“That’s right, Miss Stella.”

Lucia nodded her head, clenching her fist with her curly hand. I glanced at Stella for her help and thanked her with a glance.

“Stay with Lucia during the debate.”

[Okay.]

For Lucia, who has not fully grown as a saint yet, Stella’s existence will be of great help to her.

“So what do you think our victory is? Mule confessing her identity?”

“That’s not going to happen. We just need to let him know that he is ugly and that he is actually doing false propaganda.”

[False incitement?]

I answered Stella’s question with confidence.

“No god can bring the dead back to life.”

[…] ….]

“It is an absolute and immutable law, and that is the fate of this continent.”

I’ve said it before.

“God is not as omnipotent as one might think.”

I needed to put these words into my mouth, even if they are bitter truths for the saints to hear.

However, the two are not shaken even in the heavy falling truth.

It was a tight time for each of them to come up with their own answers, but it was time to put the worries aside and act now.

A guide sound coming from outside.

Since the debate is about to begin, Lucia gets up from her seat at the voice asking her to take a seat.

“I will go back to my waiting room for now.”

[See you later.]

Lucia and Stella went back, leaving only Finden Eye, Owen, and Aria looking at me in the waiting room.

The three of them kept their mouths shut while we were talking, probably paying attention.

Deia and Darius were not here separately because they decided to watch from the audience.

“Wow, how does the owner deal with only big men like this so that he can live his life from now on? Aren’t you fighting the real world later?”

“Don’t talk nonsense.”

Half-lying on her chair, Pinden Ai, clasped behind her head, clicks her tongue and replies.

“You are not wrong. There is no fuss like this. Defeating the Great Devil, destroying the Republic, and now fighting the fallen god.”

“… ….”

I notice that she has something to say and I look away.

She said that only then did she take care of herself, and the Finden kid grinned.

“Am I always by your side?”

“… ….”

“No big deal. Just know After all, I have nowhere else to go.”

As if he wanted to put a cigarette in her mouth, he bit her tongue and continued her words.

“No matter what the owner turns against me, I will be by your side.”

When Finden Ai told her to stop worrying unnecessarily and fight to her heart’s content, she felt a little more at ease.

She I noticed that she was cheering me on, so I accepted it without saying anything.

Now it’s about time.

I too got up and went over to Owen.

“We, the Vigilante will definitely win!”

It was Owen who clasped his dainty hands tightly and cheered him on as well, but there was something else I wanted from him here.

“It will be time to learn the definition and weight of the name of a memorial service.”

“…… Yes?”

It seemed like a sudden thought, but it was something I had been thinking about for a long time.

The reason I accepted Owen.

“Take a close look. What to do in this place and how to face the dead.”

“… ….”

“You are next to me.”

Owen was dumbfounded by the unexpected words and looked up at me. Feeling cute, the boy stroked her hair and headed towards her entrance.

Aria was standing next to him.

My complexion was dark and my expression was not very good, but it seemed to be because of the thought that I was fighting for my own destiny.

I’m not wrong, but that doesn’t mean I’m not responsible.

The reason why Romuleus came down to this land is because I twisted Arya’s fate after all.

“Aria.”

“Professor… ….”

“There are obviously limits to what I can do.”

I will accept her fate and save this continent in her stead.

However, in the end, Arya was the only one who could cut off her fate as a hero given to her.

“Well, what… ….”

“It’s okay, just watch me. What enemies you must fight, and what you must slash.”

Also.

“The key to breaking this bondage has already been placed in your hand.”

From noble mtl dot com

I patted her on the shoulder and left. There was no need to give the full answer.

In the end, Arya herself needed an active movement to break the bridle that had been given to her arbitrarily.

As I was heading to the forum, I stopped in front of the aisle where the sunlight came in.

A man wearing a black robe with Dante’s pattern on it.

It was strangely quiet, and I wondered that there was no attendant or security.

It was easy to recognize that he was the cause of all heterogeneity.

“I thought you might come.”

As expected, I opened his mouth without much surprise.

Reveal his identity as it is.

“Heralhazard.”

The head of Dante.

The black magician who massacred the kingdom of Griffin 200 years ago, and the worst necromancer who has ever lived with the burden of the royal family.

Also known as Luanes Luden Griffin.

When I call his name, Luanes turns over his hood and looks at me.

His gray hair extends down to his eyes, and his golden eyes prove that he is of royal blood.

The skin on his face was slightly distorted, but he was clearly handsome.

However, gray hair doesn’t feel as fine and innocent as a mule. There was a strong feeling that the color had faded and became muddy.

I’m sure a little bit of the childhood I saw in The Nightmare’s War remained.

“Deius Verdi.”

As if I was a little surprised that I had expected him to come, Luanes called me with a subtle expression.

“I didn’t know you knew me. Besides, did you expect me to come?”

“Considering your purpose, it was not difficult to infer.”

“… ….”

Even though he came by surprise, Luanes frowned as if he felt that he was penetrating the core.

But I continued talking without giving up the initiative.

“Did you think there would be a new possibility in that Mule brought the dead back to life?”

“…… Yes, because my work can change.”

Dante.

So Luanes had only one purpose.

Salvation of the Continent.

In fact, in order to see the true ending, you must not kill Luanes.

Precisely, he should be killed after he has achieved his goal.

Aria in the first round failed, so the continent was destroyed.

A necessary evil.

The necromancer in front could be defined just like that.

It seemed like he had come with high expectations, but I shook my head.

“There is no such thing. What Mule showed was not resurrection, but fraud. The dead cannot come back to life.”

“… ….”

As if he had expected it, Luanes didn’t bother to add anything else.

He lowered his gaze for a moment, let out a sad breath, and then changed the subject.

“So in the end, I have no choice but to go ahead with the plan.”

“Yes, I guess.”

But.

“I will stop.”

The method of salvation he chose stood in stark contrast to my beliefs.

When I answered firmly, Luanes glared at me, frowning in agony.

“This continent is already saturated. You know. There is no place for souls to lie down anymore.”

After killing Luanes, there is only one ending.

The boundary between life and death on the continent is collapsing.

The dead accumulated over thousands of years. Eventually, there is no place for the dead to lie down on the continent anymore, and they stir the continent without sleeping.

Those who became ghosts are dead anyway, so they behave as they please, and those who died unjustly rise again to relieve their grievances.

In the end, the continent becomes the land of the dead.

There is only one method chosen by Luanes, who has already observed such a future 200 years ago.

“It consumes all the dead who have gone to rest.”

A word of determination.

It was not something a necromancer who handles souls would say. After all, if you don’t have a soul, you can’t even be a wizard, because you’re a necromancer.

But Luanes made a choice.

“Cleaning the continent. For those who will die newly, the problem will be solved if all the souls that have already been put to rest are destroyed.”

“… ….”

“There is no other way. So help me.”

Luaneth slowly reached out his hand.

It was a hand full of pathetic pleading, but I took it for granted.

“Don’t refuse.”

Do not hold that hand.

“…… If left as it is, the continent will perish. You can’t just sit still.”

“Even if they are dead, they are human too.”

He and I stand on the same boundary.

I was looking at you with the opposite gaze.

“There is no big difference between rest and extinction anyway! What am I supposed to do with lingering on those who are already dead!”

There are people who have no regrets in life because they are close to death.

There are people who feel that life is more noble because they are close to death.

This was the difference between him and me.

“It is the last thing left by all who struggled and lived as human beings.”

A kind of record.

As we record the past in history books, we remember, learn from, and grow up with the people of that time.

Those who entered the rest were human history books and the continent’s library.

“… ….”

“I have a way.”

I’ve been thinking about it many times.

In fact, I have been thinking more about whether there is a way to replace Luanes’s plan than the continent’s ending.

From the time I came to this continent until now.

I put the answer I found in my mouth.

Everyone shook his head, biting his lips as Luanes’s eyes widened.

“It’s table talk.”

“It might seem that way now.”

“Impossible. That kind of thing.”

“But I will make it.”

I have always done the seemingly impossible. I will make it possible this time too.

Since I think further conversation is pointless, I walk past Luanes.

Standing tall, he glared at me and spat out a word.

“Thank you for killing the griffin demon on my behalf.”

“Then.”

Still, he said without stopping.

“Protect Aria in the waiting room. Put it at a price.”

Because it was clear that Romuleus would approach Arya in some way.

Leaving Luanes behind, I headed to the forum waiting for me.
