I Became The Academy Necromancer

ng away the homes of spiritual beings one by one.”

『Are you threatening me?』

thud.

Sangun took a step forward.

The white tiger standing on the mountain ridge pierced the snow and came right up to my nose, growling and baring his teeth.

For a split second, I couldn’t even blink.

『I can tear you apart with my breath alone; bring a hundred men, and they’ll all be dead when I swing my tail.』

『Bring a thousand men, and my claws will tear them apart, one by one.』

『Bring ten thousand men, my teeth are eternal; they will not rust, they will not break.』

It was a bold declaration.

In fact, if it were in the mountains, it would be possible.

“I will bring ten thousand men on the first day.”

However, I did not back down.

“And the next day, another ten thousand men will come.”

“On the third and the fourth days.
This time, twenty thousand men will come.
And they will all perish at the feet of the mountain.
Carcasses will pile up on top of one another, and the mountain will longer be covered with trees, but with bones and flesh.”

The reason Sangun is strong is that he is in the mountain.
But what if the mountain becomes dirty?

“Five days.”

I declared, stretching out my fingers in pretense.

“In just five days, Sangun will fall.”

My outstretched hand came down naturally.
As if asking for a handshake, I reached out to Sangun.

“I, Deus Verdi, the second son of the Verdi family, swear here.
I will protect your home.”

『……You.』

“It will never be trodden by humans.
And if anyone dares to plant a human flag here, I will kill them first.”

“So, Sangun.”

The voice was blunt, but no less cold.
The temperature of Northweden seemed to affect me as well.

“Please help me.”

———————❖———————

Finden Ai, who was resting at the Northweden mountaintop outpost, felt a strange sensation when she lit the fire on her cigarette.

It wasn’t mana, but a tingle that brushed the nape of one’s neck.

A normal person would have dismissed it as a mere misperception, but Finden Ai was different.

With senses comparable to those of a beast, she scrambled to her feet, snatching up the axe from her side.

Her companions, shaking off the fatigue of battle and plotting a plan to plunder Northweden, asked puzzledly.

“What’s wrong?”

“What is it?”

Even though Finden Ai was the leader of the Resistance scrap metal dealer, they were all like one family, so there was no formality.

In the first place, if there were to be a formality among former slaves, wouldn’t it look like a back alley captain’s game imitating adults?

“Something is coming.”

Finden Ai stepped outside, blowing out a deep puff of smoke from her cigarette.
Her comrades at the post followed her, clutching their weapons.

It was just a hunch, but they had absolute faith in her ‘hunch’.

“Ha, the follow-up team should be here anytime soon.”

“We’ll just bide our time.
Did the stupid Count ask for support after all?”

The scrap dealers were surprised that Darius Verdi had chosen the citizens of Northweden over his family, but Finden Ai ignored them and looked away.

She snuffed out the cigarette in her mouth.
She hadn’t even taken a few puffs yet, but she knew it wasn’t the time for a bite.

“It’s not like that,” she said, turning her neck to gaze at the sight of a man walking through the falling snow.

“There is only one enemy.”

“One?”

“Huh?”

One of the unit members, who was holding a sniper rifle, raised his scope to his eyes and shouted, “I really mean it! A man in a coat, holding a staff, is coming this way by himself!”

“Is he surrendering?”

“Or is he thinking of negotiating?”

At the mention of a single man, the members of the scrap metal dealer relaxed, but Finden Ai gripped her axe tightly as if she was more nervous than ever.

And the sniper’s report continued, “Oh, it appears to be a wizard! Every time he moves forward, the accumulated snow melts on its own!”

“A noble wizard.”

“If you look at it, all the Griffin aristocrats are young people who only know how to be cool, right?”

“For a guy who came here to surrender and negotiate, he’s already making a bad first impression.”

“You brainless people, get a grip,” Finden Ai retorted angrily to her comrades who still hadn’t grasped the situation, “I said ‘enemy’.”

“…………….?”

Just then, a searing ball of flame flew in.
A sphere that was neither huge nor threatening.

Finden Ai didn’t care at all and swung her axe, cutting the crippled lump in half with precision.

Her attention was drawn to the split-in-half fireball.

It split in half, and the excessive fireballs merged back into one.

Then it twisted its orbit in the air, crashing down on Finden Ai once more.

〚Kyahahahaha!〛

With a terrifying scream.

Whoosh!

The fireballs split apart once more.
But as if it hadn’t been hit, it merged back together.

From that point, large and small balls of fire poured out from the wizard.

〚Kill! Let’s kill! Ahh!〛

〚Freedom! Dammit, freedom!〛

〚Let’s moisten our throats with blood and fill our bellies with flesh!〛

〚Immigrants! Get the mace!〛

“What, what!”

“The magic speaks! Ge, get to the formation!”

“Even if you slash it, it comes back! Stand and defend!”

The fireballs filled with various voices were randomly circling the sky as if they had a will, swallowing the falling snow.

Meanwhile, Finden Ai’s bloodshot eyes glared at the wizard in a coat, who strode toward them without pausing.

“Necromancer……!”

The guy’s true identity.
Finden Ai growled as if she were about to bite him.

Deus Verdi didn’t even look at her, instead clicking his tongue in a low voice as cold as the mountains.

“Go and eat it up, you damn evil spirits.”

Footnote:-

*The name Sangun means ‘King of the Mountain’ in Korean.

A very long time ago, there lived a great tiger with magical powers in the eastern land.

People called and worshiped the divine tiger as the king of the mountain, and the king protected the land and people from evil spirits.
