Chapter 19 – 19. A mess
Emily, who had become a blue flame that judges the dead, calmly walked towards Maalx.
It was a calmness that was completely opposite to the seething anger and resentment I felt, but it was something she recognized through experience.
It is said that fear is more frightening when it comes slowly and visibly rather than when it comes suddenly.
Because I was a girl who was always locked in a cage and trembled with fear that today I would be the one to hear the footsteps of the researchers trotting along.
Even the moment of time it took to reach Maalx was being used as revenge.
As this happened, Maalx had no choice but to tremble and lie flat on his face.
[My, I was wrong! I also had no choice but to listen to Detroit Verdi’s orders!]
[…] … .]
[I mean the victim! I am a victim too! They said if we didn’t do that, they would kill us all!]
Emily blankly looks down at Marlks, who is hitting the ground and crying.
He shouts, running his hands over his chest as if it were tearing it apart.
[request! Please, please, please! Have mercy on me… … A handful of mercy!]
If you ask me to lick my feet, I will lick them.
Emily, who was standing still, had suddenly stopped moving.
“Where on earth did Detros Verdi find out about the existence of a monster called the human bone bug?”
[…] … !]
Therefore, when I intervened, Maalx’s eyes glared at me.
If I could laugh well, I would have at least sent a mockery at a time like this.
The only emotion I could show toward him was a cold expression.
“Why did it have to be a human bone bug? “There must have been many other monsters, but why did he choose a monster that requires so many human bones and is not well known to people?”
[Day, wow!]
Maalx spits out my name like a sigh. I ignore it and recite a page from Verdi’s journal from memory like a Bible verse.
“On November 25th, a man named Maalx came to me. He explained to me that the recent signs of war were due to the ferocious spirit of the immigrants crossing the North Weden Mountains.”
“His words were truly strange, and at some point I found myself immersed in them. I didn’t realize it during the conversation, but I’m thinking about it while writing this down. “He said he was working for the greater good of the kingdom, but in reality, he was probably just trying to use me to satisfy his own desires.”
“But what does that matter? If I succeed, there will be nothing but gain for me, and even if I fail, it is no different from killing the immigrants coming across the mountain range.”
“He provides the knowledge, and I provide the materials.”
There was no need to say more than this. After saying that, I glance at Maalx and see him gritting his teeth and shouting.
[Verdi’s idiots! Even though I told you not to leave a record like that! Even after falling behind, you are showing your ignorance!]
Marlks, who discovered that he was the actual instigator and initiator of the plan, looks up at Emily.
Even after hearing the whole truth, Emily stood blankly.
When I saw that, I let out a sigh and a mocking laugh.
“under.”
She was truly a pleasant girl.
At one point, her liveliness made me think she was only 8 years old, and my thoughts were narrowed down.
“What, what? “Did you just laugh?”
“… … .”
Findenai was surprised to see me suddenly smiling, and Deia had a complicated expression.
The two only saw a flame in the shape of Emily, but Maalx was not visible, so they did not understand what was going on, but they had no intention of explaining it.
[hey.]
Emily finally opened her mouth. Maalx slams her forehead on the floor as she fusses.
[I’m reflecting! I know I was crazy stupid! so that… … !]
[Did you expect it?]
[…] … what?]
Maalx’s eyes slowly, writhing as if insects were crawling.
When it touches Emily’s face, Maalx’s eyes widen and his mouth opens.
[iced coffee… … Ahhh!]
That Emily had no intention of forgiving herself.
I notice her smile.
[Why, you’ve already done this to us several times. Making people expect that they will save their lives, then taking them and killing them.]
[iced coffee.]
[This is funny, I think I know why you guys laughed so many times.]
Tuk.
Emily’s hand grabs Maalx’s wrist.
[Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
Maalx’s wrists begin to burn and he struggles, screaming at the top of his lungs.
It used to be the palm of a delicate girl, but it has become a flame and there is no escaping from it.
[Turn it off! Shut up! Get on, get on! Sal! Saliyi!]
[I really like the facial expression.]
Pop!
Emily grabbed Maalx’s struggling face with her other hand.
[Oops! Oh my gosh! Argh! Buy, buy! Please buy it!]
I feel the pain of my face and wrists burning, but there is no actual trauma.
because.
[You’re already dead.]
Yes, because he died.
No matter how much pain you feel, there is no longer any way to escape.
[We who are dead know. Actually, there is no such thing as life after death. So even if I attain Buddhahood, I will not be able to meet her mother and father.]

[Turn it off! Oh my! Ahhh!]
[I am. Even this one grain of resentment. I will pour it out to you.]
The desperate screams continue to ring out. She slowly turns and gestures to Finden Ai and Deia.
“This is it. There are sides of a lady that she doesn’t want others to see.”
“what?”
“… … .”
The two people who did not understand the situation followed my lead and headed outside.
Before I leave the door one last time, I glance at Emily. She bowed her head towards me as I left.
“It’s not over yet. “I will prepare a ceremony for you, so please wait a moment.”
[…] … thank you.]
After giving the last promise.
bang.
closed the door
The screams continue to ring out.
* * *
Lovern Academy.
“dare!”
The dean hit the desk roughly with his fist. The letter beneath it is miserably crumpled.
It was the Verdi family’s reply to the letter sent by the dean.
A blank piece of paper with nothing written on it.
A vein pops out on the forehead of the dean, who has a bear-like expression, as he reads the letter saying he has nothing to say.
But what really annoyed him was the current situation.
Despite the occasional rudeness, we need Deius Verdi.
The semester is starting soon.
As the vacation ends and current students return, new students will also arrive.
Especially.
‘There are so many big names among these freshmen.’
Wow.
Starting with the princess of the Griffin Kingdom, boys and girls with amazing talents come from numerous prestigious families.
These students are so extravagant that professors are already excited to see them as golden riders after looking at the preliminary list.
I’m not sure why there are an abnormally large number of new students this year.
In any case, there was a need to resolve the current situation.
“Is there no way?”
The dean is racking his brain and thinking. At that time, Professor Gideon came in with a knock.
Behind him stood a woman for whom the word eerie was most appropriate. She is dressed in black robes, her face covered with a black cloth, and in her hand she holds a staff with grotesque decorations.
“Dean, I am looking for someone who can solve this case.”
“Oh oh!”
This is the much-anticipated news.
The dean, who jumped up and slammed the desk, asked with anticipation in his eyes.
“Back, who is behind you?”
“Yes, that’s right. “This is a necromancer that I found with great difficulty.”
“Yeah, well…” … “Necromancer?”
The dean immediately frowned. A necromancer meant a person who walked the path of black magic.
That’s soon.
“Isn’t he a criminal?”
A being who broke the laws of the Griffin Kingdom. A type of germ that should not dare to enter the academy.
“Yes, that’s right. But, Dean. Does that matter now? The start of the semester is just around the corner. “The academy must be purified before the students return.”
“I’d rather have a priest…” … .”
The dean wondered if it would be right to bring in the priest he had been thinking about from last time, but the necromancer behind him taunted and let out a creepy sneer.
“You mean those idiots who say they pray to God, but all they really know how to do is kneel? Please stop. “We will be holding worship services even after the semester starts.”
“Hmm.”
Indeed, it is so.
Moreover, in fact, the priests’ exorcism ritual costs a lot of money, and it is impossible to properly confirm whether it is successful.
“I am sure. “If you scare the spirit and inflict pain on it, it will quickly run away.”
I begin to have a strange belief in the necromancer who speaks in a cackling manner.
Yes, what can we do to save the Academy?
The Dean nodded and shook the necromancer’s hand.
“please.”
“Don’t worry. We’ll proceed right away. “I’ll finish it today.”
The necromancer refused to shake hands and headed outside. At that moment, I bump into Erica Bright and health professor Karen, who were on their way to the dean’s office.
The dean didn’t want to let people know, but Gideon smiled and drew the two in.
“You two, please follow me. “The situation is now resolved.”
“yes?”
Erica frowned, wondering what it meant, but Karen knew it the moment she saw it.
“You brought a necromancer. “They are quite difficult to see.”
“As expected, you know me well because you have done a lot of mercenary work.”
That’s how Karen and Erica also joined. Avoiding Gideon, who was standing next to her, Erica braced her feet and stood next to the necromancer.
“Can I ask you one thing?”
“Anything.”
The necromancer chuckled and smiled leisurely. Her unpleasant feelings welled up, but Erica held them back and asked.
“There is a professor who recognized the evil spirits in the academy in advance.”
“… … .”
Not only the necromancer but also others listened to her words.
It was the story of Deius.
“How did the professor know about evil spirits?”
“Hehe.”
Everyone in the room could tell that that small laugh was ridicule.
“There are people like that sometimes. People who have a sensitive sense of the dead. But that’s it. If you think about it, you could say it’s a third-rate product that only got its feet wet. They cannot control and suppress evil spirits like I can. So, isn’t the academy overflowing with evil spirits?”
“… … Is that so?”
Erica felt a little relieved inside. To be honest, the more I dug into the situation, the more I got the feeling that Professor Deius was involved in black magic.
“Ha, I sent that letter with my mediocre abilities.”
“Professor Deius missed a brilliant opportunity to be reinstated.”
The Dean snorts his shame and Gideon laughs and agrees from the side.
Erica pretended not to hear and continued to ask the necromancer.
“Actually, there is an evil spirit I am looking for… … .”
“stop.”
At that time, the necromancer stopped walking.
It was in the exact center of the fourth floor hallway.
“Let’s start here. “It is a place that can be seen as the center of this building.”
With those words, the necromancer immediately struck the floor with his staff.
A large amount of mana begins to explode explosively around her. The mana oozes like clay and then soon changes into the shape of a human palm.
The fingers extend and their ends become the palm again. The necromancer’s magic split into hundreds of palms.
Inside, the faces of the dead screaming in agony caught my eye.
“You are a necromancer with considerable skills. Professor Gideon, where did you find that man? “At this level, if that person wanted to, no one would be able to find him.”
“Haha, it’s a secret.”
In response to Keren’s question about whether he has seen a necromancer a few times, Gideon gives a friendly smile and answers.
It was actually an incredible skill.
Even taking into account the fact that it was necromancy, it was a moment when I thought that Erica’s skills were superior to that of the professor himself.
Wood clatter.
The cane falls to the floor and rolls to Professor Erica’s feet.
The palm-shaped mana naturally burns into the air and disappears.
The necromancer was looking at the professors.
The body is still in front, but the neck is fully turned.
“uh?”
dump.
That was the end.
The necromancer’s neck was turned and he let out a scream saying he had no idea what was going on, then fell and fell down the stairs.
No one could say anything.
just.
[Cluck cluck!]
The only thing that came out was the girl’s extremely creepy laugh that I had heard before.
thud!
thud!
thud!
thud!
The sound of strong footsteps coming from the stairs.
“Why is it here… … .”
A one-armed skeleton warrior known to only appear in the central hallway on the first floor runs up the stairs with great leg strength.
Kwasik!
He immediately trampled the corpse of the necromancer who was rolling down the stairs and turned it into a piece of meat.
Quack! Quack! Quack! Quack!
He pulled out his sword and began chopping, slashing, and stomping on the necromancer’s body several times.
