78.1 Conversation And Atonement

I returned to my room after finishing my first necromancy lesson.

The lowest rank insect undead was disposed of by throwing it into the sunlight.

It turned into ashes before it even hit the ground. Though I knew that undead were weak against sunlight, I couldn't help but marvel at how weak they really are.

Look, useless right?

Enma pouted as she looked at the ashes that scattered around by the wind.

By the way, after losing the shackle called flesh, the soul returned again into the spiritual world.

"With a certain amount of damage" Added Enma.

This is the reason why reusing the damaged soul is a pretty big deal. Their soul will slowly wear out if they keep coming in and out of the spiritual world and material world. It's no problem for a skilled necromancer like me though. I mean, my soul is fully protected.

And she told me that she would teach me the way to protect my soul sooner or later with a smile on her face.

Maan, never expected that you'll be able to create your first undead this fast! Here I expected that the most you could do in this first lesson is mastering the Spell of The Gate of Spiritual World. Alas, it seems that both your memory and sense for controlling your magical power is truly beyond my expectation! I really tip my hat to you!

"To think that such a genius is right next to me!" Muttered Enma while wriggling happily.

The result of the first lesson was outstanding. so look forward to the next lesson~!

Thus she ended today's lesson.

Woof, woof!

Liliana who was rolling around in the bed stood up and ran toward me as soon as she saw me.

There there.

Kyu~~n!

Though I patted her like usual, my mind was thinking about something else.

My eyes were focused on the corner of the room, not at Liliana who was squinting her eyes, enjoying my head pat.

It was a shelf where I enshrined the skulls of the soldiers that I killed.

Since it was already past midnight for the demon race, the time for the majority of the demon race to hit the pillow.

I still had something left to do.

Rather, it was something that I should have to do

Are you going to summon them?

Yes.

It seems your power grow when you revived the insect.

Said Ante as an image of her lying down appeared in my mind.

It seems, you already cast a gaze at the point beyond true taboo in that stage The taboo of waking up the sleeping soul of your brethren.

Yes.

There was no other way to call the soul of the soldiers that I killed Other than using their skull that is displayed on the shelf.

Enma had also told me.

There are few available mediums to summon the soul.

Corpse or their remnant.

Their place of death.

Nickname or name of the target.

Among those, the skull where the brain was located was the best choice

After you manage to summon them, how to use them is completely dependent on how far you can control them.

That was the true meaning of necromancy.

Basically, the older the soul is, the more they loses their reason, and the more emotional they become. And then, various emotions remained the moment they died. Most of them are negative emotions. Very few of them can communicate properly in that state That's why we have to assist them by supplying them with our magical power.

It was a technique to recreate their original ego using summoned souls as its base. Something like that.

But, it didn't mean that the summoned side would obey me. Rather, if it was the soldier of the alliance who died by my own hand it might be resistant.

You've to use sleight of hand and various methods for that kind of situation.

It was the debut for another technique. Sealing their emotion, forcefully read their thought, or erasing their unpleasant memory

There are other methods such as tying their soul, give them pain, make them feel happy Force them to submit, coax them with all methods you can come up with Aha, don't worry about it in the least.

I wonder what kind of face I made right now, her method was simply downright inhuman.

Worry not. I'll teach you eve~rything that I know, Jil-kun

Said Enma with smile on her face

In short, the true essence of necromancy was a parade of heretical arts. That was the kind of arts that I'm going to learn after this

Let's just try to summon them for now.

I laughed at myself while invoking a soundproof barrier, just to be sure.

It feels as if you're secretly doing a naughty thing.

I lined up the five skulls along my bed.

And kneeled before them Now this really looks like some sort of evil ceremony. Not to mention that limbless high-elf was waiting upon me by my side.

Aorat Teihos Po Horizui

I kneaded the magical power of darkness, and opened the gate.

Inirie Ne Woz Fapana

I searched for the soul using those skulls as its fulcrum.

Aah.

And found them right away.

I pulled them to the gate.

The deceased soldiers.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

Their souls flew out of the gate, enveloped by my own magical power of darkness.

All of them were lunging at me with a hateful glare in their eyes, trying to bite me to death.

Klop, klunk, and so on Their fists were hindered by my defensive ward. Sorry but, this is to protect my soul.

UUUUUUUUUH!

Liliana whose hair stood straight up,growling as her body cast the light of purification.

Wait! Please wait a minute! They're not in the wrong!

The one who wronged them was me.

They Both their body contour and face had already started to lose their shape, the same goes for their sense of reason.

Alas, they knew who I was. Or should I say that they knew that the one who summoned them was their killer

This killer!

You evil demon race!

DIE!

Hatred and anger that couldn't be expressed by words, and their enraged cries resounded inside the soundproof barrier.

My apologize

I couldn't do anything but bow to them. Properly speaking, I should let them beat me to a pulp without protecting myself with a defensive ward.

But, my soul might suffer from the after effect if they, whose soul got enhanced by my magical power, hit me.

That was the one thing that I couldn't allow. That would hinder me from achieving my goal.

Alas, I still wanted to apologize to them. I mean, I killed them and as if that wasn't bad enough, I even summoned their souls alas I still wanted to talk to them.

I wanted to tell them that I would save the alliance and get their revenge on the demon king.

And after I accomplish my duty, I would visit them in the afterlife and bow to them. But after knowing from Enma that the afterlife didn't exist, their soul might've already worn out long before that and returned back into the primal power of this world. 𝔣𝖗𝔢𝖊𝔴𝖊𝔟𝔫𝔬𝖛𝔢𝖑.𝔠𝔬𝔪

If that was the truth, it means that now was the only time I could give them an apology.

Now was the only time I could apologize to them And gave them my oath.

I kept bowing to them until the power that hit my defensive ward weakened.

And then, when it stopped.

?

When I raised my head, I saw that the man in the middle with the clearest contour of all stopped his comrades.

Always

And then spoke with a hoarse voice.

Strangely I felt, as if I've seen a dream

Not just his contour, even his ego was clear.

Even though The evil demon race, should be our enemy It felt as if I'm seeing the hero of human

I felt his gaze.

No way That's just A dream

Can someone tell me What in the world was this guy talking about?

Who In the world Are you? And the words you told me before I died

"Death to the darkling" You're the damn darkling That was what he meant.

It Has always been Weighing on my mind
