I Became The Academy Necromancer

months ago.”

 

Through our first conversation, she found peace and entered eternal rest.

 

[I see.]

 

Thump.

 

The fallen Angel's head trembled slightly.
The hot tears streaming down carried a sense of relief.

 

[I'm relieved.]

 

“…”

 

[I will believe in you.]

 

The girl's manifestation burned brightly and disappeared.
Eventually, the entire rooftop was swept away by blue flames, and after a moment…

 

The darkened sky began to shimmer with silver as the cold moonlight shone through.

 

Amidst the screams of the evil spirits echoing from all directions, the sounds of people cheering could be heard.

 

The obscured view of the city, as if covered in fog, unfolded, revealing the familiar rooftop scenery that hadn't been seen for a while.

 

The blue flames extinguished.

 

The souls of Setima, who comforted Angel, closed their eyes one by one and began to find their eternal rest.

 

“Unlike you, I can not seek forgiveness instead of revenge from my enemies.”

 

I had simply agreed to help them without hesitation because forgiveness was what they desired.

 

“But the direction and belief in the life you showed…”

 

The flames that faded as they floated up into the sky looked like divine stars that graced the land.

 

“It was undoubtedly so noble, it couldn’t be comprehended.”

 

Raising my head, I could only pray for their peace and eternal rest.

 

* * *

 

“What's wrong? Is it over?”

 

Finden Ai, who had come up to the rooftop, looked at Deus, who was praying for their eternal rest.

 

Having already heard that a powerful necromancer had died, Finden Ai came to find him after saving the students, fearing he might be in danger.

 

“Hmm.”

 

Surprisingly, he looked perfectly fine without any visible wounds.

 

Rather, he seemed somewhat relieved, and there was even a slight smile on his face.

 

“I don’t like it.”

 

Finden Ai didn't like it at all.
She was still upset that her efforts had been wasted, and it made her uncomfortable.

 

“Is it all over then?”

 

Looking up at the bright moon, Finden Ai asked, and Deus nodded gently.

 

“Yes, the evil spirit incident at the academy is completely resolved.”

 

“Hmm?”

 

Something about his words sounded strange.

 

Instinctively, Finden Ai felt that there was some clever wordplay involved, but she couldn't pinpoint what was wrong with it.

 

“Are all the injured students healed?”

 

“Any injuries or damages that occured after the barrier was created would have returned to their original state.”

 

Blurring the boundary between life and death was not fully established.
As a result, the situations that would have become real as a consequence of the damage were unable to materialize and simply vanished.

 

“Well, that doesn't mean they've lost all their memories, right? It will be quite complicated for a while, won't it?”

 

“It will indeed.”

 

Deus didn't deny it.
In reality, the path ahead for the academy would become quite arduous.

 

“Well, still, master got paid a lot and good things are good, aren't they?”

 

The reason Finden Ai deliberately continued to awkwardly speak was only one.

 

She wanted to find the contradiction she felt in Deus' first words.

 

She was forcing herself to think and ponder, but the answer wasn't coming.

 

However, at that moment…

 

Deus, with a contemptuous expression, revealed the answer.

 

“The 'evil spirit incident of the academy' is resolved.
It is the essence of the uneasiness you feel.”

 

“What?”

 

“Finden Ai.”

 

Slowly standing in front of the railing, Deus looked at Finden Ai with a slight smile.

 

Even though his expression was calm, his black pupils, for a brief moment, were enough to freeze Finden Ai’s body.

 

Then, Daeus uttered words that went beyond what she could comprehend.

 

“Do not save me.”

 

* * *

 

“Wow!”

 

“It's o-over! It's over!”

 

As the barrier broke, the bright full moon greeted the students of the academy.
They all screamed, shedding tears and expressing their gratitude.

 

The professors, who had been fighting the evil spirits to protect the students, gathered them on the field and wiped their sweat, letting out a relieved sigh.

 

“Thank you for your hard work.”

 

“You've worked hard.”

 

When Professor Karen, who had stood alongside them, extended her hand for a handshake, Erica smiled slightly and shook hands with her.

 

Both of them were today's MVPs, showing that the academy professors were not only teachers but also capable in practical situations.

 

“Is everything resolved now?”

 

“I believe so.”

 

As Karen spoke, Erica let out a sigh, feeling a burden that had lingered in her chest completely melt away like a snowflake.

 

However, her relationship with Professor Deus had become completely estranged now.

 

‘But at least he's safe now.’

 

Considering that even the spirit who possessed him must have vanished, Erica felt a sense of relief in her heart.

 

From now on, even if Deus remained in Robern, he wouldn't be possessed anymore or attempt suicide as before.

 

“Oh.”

 

Just then, Deus appeared on the rooftop railing of the main building.

 

Seeing that, Karen burst into hollow laughter.

 

“What's with him? Did he expect us to praise and thank him since he rescued us?”

 

“…”

 

The moment Erica heard Karen’s words and was surprised, thinking that Deus had such a side to him…

 

Die!

 

She remembered the scream that echoed in her memories.

 

It was a cry of resentment filled with bitterness deeply rooted in the heart like a trauma.

 

Upon hearing it, Erica suddenly realized that she was running forward in a hurry.

 

She attempted to summon mana, but the mana that had been depleted from facing the evil spirit for a long time dwindled like dust, powerless and dispersing.

 

And then…

 

Deus threw himself off the rooftop.

 

Thud!

 

Without any interference, he collided with the floor… Right in front of her.

 

Erica discovered herself kneeling with her white-gloved hand soaked in blood.

 

“Nooooo!”

 

And with the desperate scream of a woman, the long and arduous incident at the academy came to an end.
