Chapter 38 – 38. Period
[You want to exorcise me?]
“okay.”
After checking again to see if he had misheard, the angel swept his hand down his face as if he was dumbfounded.
[you?]
He glares at me with his venomous eyes.
[It was a few months ago when I saved him because he couldn’t respond properly to evil spirits. It was I who gave the hint about necromancy.]
“… … .”
[But you are going to exorcise me? They will define me as a demon!]
The angel’s hair completely fills the rooftop floor.
Her hair is so dense that it dominates the space without a gap, as if a sewerage had burst and the floor was soaked with water.
[I killed a necromancer who was much stronger than you in an instant. Do you know how difficult it would be to kill you?]
I calmly opened my mouth as I looked at the angel, who was growling and spewing out such vicious force that it made me dizzy.
“Why were you able to exert such power?”
[…] … what?]
“I already heard about that necromancer. “She knows what she’s trying to do to this academy.”
As I’ve said several times, being a necromancer doesn’t mean you can see all souls. That’s a blessing and a curse that only exists for me.
Other necromancers have strong resentment and raise and deal with evil spirits that can materialize or cause harm through pain.
It had a similar concept to a summoner, but finding a spirit with a grudge was more difficult than expected.
From the necromancer’s point of view, this academy must have been a desirable prey that could not be missed.
He must have been greedy in order to make the countless evil spirits wandering around the academy his own.
“She was clearly hostile, which is why you were able to exert such power. “For she was the one who tried to take Setima’s souls for her own.”
The thought system is influenced by motivation and psychology more than you might think.
Because he was a mental being made up of wishes.
“That’s why you were given that much power. “You had no choice but to be strong because you were the one I was trying to protect.”
[…] … I am still the same.]
“No, not at all.”
Rather, the current situation is the opposite.
“Now I, not you, are carrying on Setima’s will.”
The black sword in my hand was the proof, and Setima’s spirit with me was their answer.
[why… … !]
The people of Setima do not want what the angel is doing now. From the moment she realizes this, her power gradually begins to disappear.
[No! That’s not it! After dying so unfairly! After dying so painfully! Still not dreaming of revenge?!]
As the wall of thought that was thought to be absolute began to crack, the angel’s hair, which had been running wild, gradually began to shrivel.
[The goddess you cried out for remained silent until the end! Than the teachings taught by that kind of goddess! Rather than the damn nonsense of forgiving her sinners!]
After putting the warrior’s sword in the ground, I walk toward her through the open path.
Warriors and angels had many similarities. He also sympathized with the angel’s thoughts, but he kept his mouth shut because he prioritized the wishes of the people of Setima.
[There is a me you created yourself! I said I would grant your wish! For those of you who died unjustly and left no name behind! I left a scar on the kingdom that can never be erased!]
The sight of the angel crying and shouting in despair was truly pitiful.
Like Icarus, who was known to get close to the sun and his wings burned.
She too was steadily heading towards her own destruction.
[I will do it! If you just keep your mouth shut, I will relieve you of your injustice! But why! why! why!]
“… … .”
[why! I’m taking that man’s side! Why are you still trying to forgive!]
“Stop it now.”
I couldn’t understand either.
Likewise, I was not a saint in the Bible or a saint on this continent.
A full understanding of Setima’s decision was impossible.
but.
“You do not deny their life.”
Setima’s souls, transformed into blue flames by accepting my magic, hover around the angel.
[You… … !]
In some ways, distorting wishes could be seen as disregard for the individual who made the wish.
They simply used that as a motive, and it was an act of trampling on the opinions of the parties involved.
Nevertheless, of course, Setima’s vengeful spirits.
He was comforting and touching the angel.
They say they are sorry for not being good enough.
Thank you for being angry for their sake.
Also, he said he had suffered a lot during this time.
[Ah ah ah ah ah!]
A blue flame wrapped around my hand. Because she is a thoughtform without a soul, she will achieve complete extinction rather than rest like the other dead.
“Let go of that burden. “I also have no intention of taking revenge on them because they don’t want it.”
A hand wrapped in flames was placed on the head of the crying angel.
My flame naturally spreads through the girl’s hair and lights up the entire rooftop.
“I assure you that everyone on the continent will know their nobility and splendor.”
[…] … !]
“Deius Verdi. no… … .”
Slowly kneel in front of the girl. I hope that I can give you faith and a comforting smile that I unconsciously created.

“As Kim Shin-woo, I swear.”
[Kim, CNU… … ?]
“My real name.”
When I smiled and nodded, the girl looked at me blankly, wiped her tears and asked a question.
[Tell me one thing.]
“Anything.”
[Where is the child who created me now?]
A girl who proudly told the warrior that she was an angel he created.
In fact, the existence of an angel could be seen as being molded and created thanks to her.
“Her name is Leah.”
The name of an unforgettable child I met on the first day I came to the academy.
“I already went into rest a few months ago.”
She was the girl who first found peace and entered into rest through conversation with me.
[okay.]
Tuk.
The fallen angel’s head shakes slightly. The flowing hot tears contained feelings of relief.
[thank god.]
“… … .”
[I will trust you.]
The girl’s body burns up and disappears. Eventually, the entire rooftop was engulfed in blue flames, and a moment later.
The dark sky begins to crack and cold moonlight comes in.
The screams of evil spirits echoing from everywhere and the sounds of people cheering at the same time.
The view of the city, which had been obscured as if by fog, unfolded, and although it had been a while, the familiar rooftop scenery caught my eye.
The blue flame goes out.
Setima’s vengeful spirits, who comforted the angel, close their eyes one by one and begin to leave in search of rest.
“I will not hope for forgiveness from my enemies, even if I sacrifice everything like you do.”
Since what they wanted was forgiveness, I just followed without saying anything.
“But the direction and beliefs you have shown in life.”
The fireworks floating in the sky and dying out looked like stars rising nearby.
“Obviously, because it was so noble that it could not be surpassed.”
All I could do was raise my head and hope for their peace and rest as if I was praying.

“What’s over?”
Findeneye, who came up to the rooftop, looks at Deius, who is saying his final goodbye.
Since I had already heard that a fairly powerful necromancer had died, Deius might be in danger, so he came after rescuing the students.
“hmm.”
Surprisingly, he was clean and without any injuries.
Rather, he seemed to be a little relieved and even had a slight smile on his face.
“I don’t like it.”
Finden Eye didn’t like it very much. Even now, he regrets the burnt straw and feels uncomfortable in his mouth.
“Is it all over?”
When Findeneye asked, looking up at the brightly rising moon, Deius nodded slowly.
“Yes, the evil spirit incident at the Academy is over.”
“hmm?”
Is there something strange about what you say?
Instinctively, Findeneye sensed that some kind of clever pun had been made, but did not realize where it was wrong.
“Have all the injured students been treated?”
“At least anything that was injured or broken after the barrier was created would have returned to its original state.”
The barrier connecting life and death was not completely created and disappeared.
Originally, since the dead could not be separated, the damage situation did not become a reality and simply disappeared.
“Well, that doesn’t mean you lose all your memories. “It’s going to be quite complicated for a while, isn’t it?”
“I guess so.”
Deius does not deny it.
In fact, the path the Academy must take in the future will be quite arduous and thorny.
“Well, isn’t it good for the owner to get a lot of money and be nice?”
There was only one reason why Findeneye kept talking, even if it was intentionally awkward.
I wanted to find the contradiction felt in Deius’ first words.
To that end, I was forcing myself to move my mouth and rack my brain, but no answer came out.
But then.
Deius says it’s ridiculous and tells him the correct answer.
“The Academy’s evil spirit situation has been resolved. “It is the identity of the anxiety you feel.”
“what?”
“Findenai.”
Deius, slowly standing in front of the railing, secretly looks at Findeneye.
The black eyes, along with the calm and grave expression, were enough to make Findeneye’s body stiffen in just a split second.
Deius’ next words were beyond what she could understand.
“You shouldn’t save me.”
* * *
“Waaah!”
“Okay, it’s over! It’s over!”
When the barrier was broken and the bright full moon greeted the students of the academy, they all screamed and expressed their gratitude with tears in their eyes.
The faculty, who had gathered the students into the playground and continued to fight against evil spirits to protect them, also sat down, wiping away his sweat, and breathed a sigh of relief.
“Thank you for your hard work.”
“thank you for your effort.”
When Professor Keren, who was standing in the front line with her, offered to shake her hand, Erica also smiled slightly and joined hands.
The two were today’s MVPs who showed that academy professors do not just teach students, but are also good in real-life situations.
“This is all settled, right?”
“I guess so.”
Erica sighed at Karen’s words, but felt as if the burden that had remained in her chest had completely melted away.
My relationship with Professor Deius has deteriorated to the point where it couldn’t be more severe.
‘But he is safe now.’
Erica feels much more at ease when she thinks that the evil spirit that possessed her has been completely resolved.
From now on, even if Deius is in Lovern, he won’t be possessed and attempt suicide like before.
“Oh my.”
Deius appeared on the rooftop railing of the main building just then.
Looking at that, Karen laughs.
“What, are you telling me to accept it because you saved me?”
“… … .”
A moment when Erica feels new that Deius also has that kind of side.
I’m dying!
It was a scream from my memory.
It was a cry of resentment filled with anger that was deeply embedded in the heart like a trauma.
The moment Erica Bright heard that, she found herself running forward in a hurry.
I try to use mana, but the mana, which is empty after dealing with evil spirits for a long time, shrinks and spreads like dust and disappears.
and.
Deius threw himself off the rooftop.
thud!
It fell without any disturbance.
Erica Bright’s white-gloved hands, who fell right in front of him, are soaked in blood.
“Nooooo!”
With the woman’s desperate scream, the long incident at the Academy comes to an end.
