Surviving as an Academy Black Magician chapter 3

Surviving as an Academy Black Magician 3

It was so natural.

It felt like the fighting skills and experience that Abel originally had naturally melted into my possessed soul.

It was the first time I had killed a person, but I didn’t feel much guilt.

It was because they deserved to die in the first place, and they were prepared to do anything to survive in this world.

And they have to do this for them to believe. You have to be confident from start to finish.

“Who is the manager here?”

The old man in an owl skin answered.

“It is me, Apostle.”

I said sternly.

“How did you know I was an apostle?”

“that… .”

His mouth was dry, but he carefully inspected his surroundings without showing any expression.

Fortunately, there has been no sign of anything so far.

72 denominations.

As the name of the church suggests, there are 72 precepts,

It was a kind of religious group with followers who worshiped Andromalius, a demon.

There are many demon worshipers in this world, but it is the group with the largest number of followers.

The heretic inquisitors who worship the main god are having a lot of trouble trying to find out those who spread like tumors within the empire, but at least they were indispensable to me now.

‘There is no choice. I have to make them mine somehow.’

The corpses seen in the cave are probably traces of human sacrifice.

As much as they worship demons, they treat people’s lives like flies.

If I were to find out that I was just a contractor, not an apostle of demons, I would surely end up lying next to those corpses.

‘This old man seems to be the religious leader…’ .’

Looking closely at his hand, he saw a large snake wrapped around it. The snake is one of the representative symbols of Andromalius.

“It is because of the noble stigma in the left pupil. If my eyes are not wrong, are they not stigmata from the demon of lust?”

Fortunately, the elderly’s reaction was within the expected range.

‘Stigmata… .’

To be precise, this is not a stigma, but a kind of stigma.

When black magic is used, the Six Stars appear spontaneously regardless of one’s will.

It was nothing more than a useless restraint that advertised that I was a drinker and that I used black magic.

The stigma of a slave whose soul was mortgaged due to an unfair contract.

It was one of the reasons why I cursed when I first found out I was possessed by this body.

Putting aside the destruction of the world, the soul of this body was not mine in the first place.

“Unlike other bugs, you still have eyes to see. Yes, I am the apostle of the drunk ‘Asmodeus’.”

Of course, I was neither an apostle nor a messenger.

He was just an idiot who sold his soul in exchange for very feeble power.

The old man replied in a soft tone.

“Oh, I guess my eyes weren’t wrong. But how could such a noble person come to this humble place alone without an escort?”

It sounds plausible, but I got the feeling that it was hiding a thorn in it.

“Do I have to tell you every little thing like that?”

Despite my firm tone, the old man continued talking calmly.

“I’m sorry if I offended you. This old man has a lot of curiosity, so he has a bottle that he has to find out what he is curious about. We’re preparing for a very important ceremony, so I’m going to ask without rudeness, but do you know why the apostle of the demon of lust visited our church?”

It was not an illusion. He was obviously suspicious of me.

It was clear that as time passed, the suspicion would only grow. What should I look around for?

Should I just say I heard it by accident? no. Then, it was obvious that he would hold on to the pod again and bite it tenaciously.

“… It is to see Andromalius.”

The old man raised his head and looked at me. It was a shady look, like a snake hunting its prey.

“You mean Andromalius… ?”

“okay. I received an oracle from Lord Asmodeus. Andromalius-sama will descend here today through a ceremony. Am I wrong?”

The old man answered in a slightly puzzled tone.

“No, that’s right. however… .”

The old man seemed to want to say something more, but he had no intention of listening.

I said coldly, raising the demonic energy in my whole body.

“Another name for Asmodeus is the demon of rage.”

The demon of lust and rage, Asmodeus.

That reputation was widespread even in Hell.

‘It’s also one of the few Demon Gods that doesn’t care about rank.’

The old man lowered his head and spoke cautiously.

“… sorry.”

“I’m the one who came in without asking permission, so I won’t make a fuss anymore, but keep in mind that this was my last warning.”

“… All right.”

“Stop procrastinating and start the ceremony.”

“Come this way.”

After receiving the guidance of the old man and heading inside, a huge foundation appeared.

mountain of corpses.

There were well over 1,000 corpses piled up.

It was disgusting, but I couldn’t show it like that in front of them.

“… A lot.”

The old man spoke as if he was quite proud of his achievements.

“These are the sacrifices painstakingly prepared for this ceremony. As a number is a number, I had a lot of trouble in the preparation process, but seeing it in person like this gives me a new feeling. I can’t stop my heart beating at the thought that I will be able to see our god Andromalius soon.”

Goosebumps appeared on the nape of my neck as I looked at those crazy eyes.

“It is a very honorable thing to be able to see the god you worship in person. Is this the beginning?”

“That’s right.”

The old man knelt in front of the altar and began muttering an incomprehensible language with his hands together.

“Andromalius noster. Salva nos de luce. M immolabantur homines. Suscipe cum gaudio eam, et pone coram servo tuo.”

The air around them stirred. Hundreds of believers lined up behind the old man and began to kneel.

Everyone except me imitated the old man’s words with their hands together as if they were one body.

At first it was close to cacophony, but gradually their voices became one.

“Afferte huius mundi tenebras. Servus tuus sincerus enixe rogat.”

The spectacle of hundreds of people with one heart and one mind intensely yearning for something was enough to evoke an illusion of piety beyond goosebumps and discomfort.

It’s just that the target of that holy faith is a demon who accepts and eats 1,000 humans as sacrifices, and that they are the fanatics who mercilessly take the lives of their own people for that god.

The old man raised his head and shouted loudly. Red blood flowed from his eyes.

“Veni huc!”

As soon as the words were finished, a strong wind blew. The candles went out and the surroundings were covered in darkness.

It felt instinctive. That a gigantic being that they couldn’t handle was descending here.

My brain rang the alarm bell, and my heart beat erratically.

The air around him also shuddered, as if he was frightened.

‘There’s no way the main body was summoned, so is this enough to summon the incarnation? It’s beyond imagination.’

Even if he is ranked 72nd, he is still a demon. A small kingdom is a disaster itself that can make it disappear in the blink of an eye.

The male figure was blurry in the thick darkness.

Curiously, the surroundings were covered in darkness, so nothing could be seen, but the man’s shape gradually became clearer as time passed.

A pair of horns, a large snake hanging from its arms.

—Andromalius was clear.

-Who called me?

A sensation as if it were muttering in the brain.

A grotesque voice that could not even be imitated by human vocal cords resonated in my head.

The old man, who had been weeping with emotion, said tearfully.

“Ahh… ! Dear Andromalius… . It’s me. I am… .”

That was his last will.

cringe cringe

… .

… … .

‘Mi, you crazy bastard.’

It happened in an instant.

– It doesn’t taste good.

Andromalius devoured the old man.

Even at this shocking sight, the others kept their heads down without blinking as if nothing had happened.

‘You guys can’t believe this is an honor right now… ?’

Andromalius began to devour each person one by one from the front row.

cringe cringe

A terrible sound rang out over and over again.

– I forcibly woke up, and I’m quite hungry.

After eating about 50 people like that, the meal was over.

Andromalius said to the follower right in front of him.

– Hmm. From now on, you will be in charge of this place.

“… I-I mean?”

Kwajik.

He said to the believer next to him.

-You take it.

“Yes, just leave it to me.”

His gaze turned to me.

– There’s an interesting guy mixed in.

right!

The space changed with the sound of fingers clashing.

‘here is… .’

Andromalius, who was sitting in a chair drinking tea, looked at me and said,

“Sit down.”

I sat on the opposite chair without a word. His gaze turned to me.

“A human with the traces of the Supreme and the stigma of Lord Asmodeus… . What is your true identity?”

“… I am an apostle of Asmodeus.”

“Apostle… ? I know that he doesn’t send apostles to the human world.”

“I was chosen as an exception.”

“That means he chose a human as an apostle… . That’s funny. So, what is the purpose of coming here?”

“I came to ask you a favor.”

Andromalius said with interest.

“Let’s talk about it sometime.”

“I want you to find ‘Lemegeton,’ the book you drank with the power of Andromalius.”

The Book of Demons Lemegeton.

As a sacred object made by the first transcendent, Salmon, to make a contract with the demons, it was not impossible to restrain the demons if he could handle the power properly.

However, in the story I conceived, the demon book Lemegeton did not appear, and since it was made as a basis for the framework of the worldview, I had no time to know where it was located.

‘… Well, who would have thought that I would find Lemegeton myself.’

His eyes narrowed.

“… What is the price?”

“I will give you 3 of Asmodeus’s 72 corps.”

“Are you saying that someone like you is qualified to make such a condition?”

“Yes, Asmodeus also allowed it.”

Of course, no permission was ever given.

What if you get caught… That’s when I decided to go and think about it.

“good night. I’ll find you right now.”

The Demon God of Detection and Transformation.

that was his nickname.

“… Strange.”

“What is your problem?”

“I got the approximate location, but I don’t know more than that.”

Even with the authority of the Demon God, the exact location could not be known.

“Where is your location?”

“They’re at the Salomon Academy.”

I’ve come to understand a little bit now. If you are there, even with his Authority, you won’t be able to pinpoint the exact location.

Since it is a place that is the main stage of this world, there must be all sorts of restrictions.

“It is difficult. As far as I know, Salomon Academy is famous for its massive size. How can I find it in such a wide place… .”

He asked if I understood my intentions.

“What do you want?”

“I want to use Andromalius-sama’s other power, ‘Transformation’.”

“You have too much guts for a mere human to have.”

From his point of view, it would be like being installed by a guy no different than an ant.

The snake in his hand crawled out and bit my neck. There, his symbol, the pattern of a snake, was engraved.

“As long as your contract with me is in effect, you are my apostle. If you do not keep the pact, your soul will be subject to me.”

“… All right.”

I just wanted to use it once, but I accidentally became an apostle and even gained power.

It was an unexpected harvest. Anyway, since my soul was subordinate to Asmodeus, I got it for free.

‘It’s up to you to take it, but the owner is different. Hey.’

“Then go.”

“Maybe I… .”

“What is it?”

“Can you open the portal to Salomon Academy?”

“… … Do you really want to die?”

“Isn’t that the name of the company? Please help me.”

After thinking for a while, Andromalius created a portal in front of his eyes.

“Don’t bother me any more.”

“thank you.”

After bowing politely, I moved towards the portal. The moment I was about to go inside, I stopped abruptly.

Because I remembered something I forgot.

“Why are you doing that?”

“I… … .”

Andromalius seemed a bit annoyed.

“What else?”

I spoke cautiously, with the most kind expression on my face.

“… Can I get something from the warehouse?”

―Duk, was it my misunderstanding that I heard the sound of something being cut?

“An apostle is canceled. I have to kill you right here… .”

“hahahaha, kidding, kidding!”

I made up my mind as I pictured my future plans in my head.

‘First of all… .”

admission to the academy.

That is the first step for me to survive in this world.
