Chapter 77: Fun Necromancy Lesson
Fun Necromancy Lesson
Why are you leaving me behi~~~~~~~~~~~~nd!
Good day, demon prince Jilbagias who got scolded by the pouting Ante upon returning and hearing the situation is here.
What a blunder! Aren't we in the same boat here!!
Well, you were fast asleep after all
If you wake up, you should wake me up too! This traitor! How dare you go and talk with that Enma And don't invite me to see your flabbergasted face!
Oh c'mon, gimme a break. You seemed to be really enjoying your sleep after all, that's why I would feel bad for waking you up.
But then I realized that when I went out without you, I felt something was amiss, and lonely.
That's why please forgive me this time, I promise that I'll take you out with me on my next stroll even if I have to drag you out.
When I told her that, Ante's snappy attitude Mellowed a lot.
Humph I'll forgive you just this time. It was nice to sleep for the whole day.
Great, problem solved.
As for the matter of me learning necromancy, I naturally had to report this matter to Platy.
I won't stop you from wanting to learn more but, are you really sure it is going to be safe? I heard it will affect your mind.
And just as I thought, Platy tried to discourage me alas
I've Ante within myself, and Sofia will make sure that nothing goes wrong. And if it really is affecting my mind, I will stop learning immediately.
By the way, according to Ante,
Your soul vessel has already been filled to the brim with Our power. In short, your soul won't be distorted by the pressure of the world when peeking into the soul world Or what Enma calls the spiritual world
If that was the case, permission was given.
According to Enma, necromancy was unpopular among the demon race alas, Platy still gave me freedom of choice regardless of that fact.
She's quite an open-minded mother eh.
U~hm, no, that expression didn't seem to suit her An overzealous mother who lunged her spear at me with a pair of arms growing from her back wasn't a normal mother..
Anyhow, since I had no reason to postpone my necromancy class, I decided to take my first lesson tomorrow.
Heya, Jil-kun. Nice to meet you again.
The meeting place was, naturally, the garden in broad daylight.
Yes, the very same, sunny garden. Enma, who sat on the bench within the shade waved her hand at me.
Her features were the same as before alas, she apparently changed her hairdo. Yesterday it was bundled on the back of her head but today, she braided her hair and let it down on the front from her shoulder.
I also noticed that she wore a necklace with a delicate design. Yesterday was gold yet today, she wore rose colored crystal inlaid in silver. Well, she might be dolling herself up.
Except for Enma, no one else was in the garden. Since this was a literal midnight for the demon race. It was the ideal time slot to avoid public eyes, or should I say, secret meeting place
Yo. Do you really like to hang out in this place at this kind of time?
In this entire world, I might be the only person who had a rendezvous with No Life King outside in broad daylight.
Never expected that the place for my first necromancy class was in this botanical garden, in broad daylight. I thought she would bring me under the demon king castle, learning dubious arts While being surrounded by a lot of undead.
Today's lesson is the basic lesson of the basics after all. I do want to avoid public gaze but, this is countermeasure for when you feel unwell when you summon a strange soul or strange undead, in this way we can eliminate them immediately with sunlight.
Basic Of the basic?
Wasn't she fully prepared???
It's just to be safe. Making sure that nothing goes wrong even without sunlight with me around. Alas, and an open place like this might work better for your first lesson in heretical dark arts.
"Not to mention that you're one of the few exceptions who likes the sunlight," said Enma as she giggled at me.
Well. I guess this place does fulfill that criteria.
I actually want to invite you to my laboratory though.
Enma pursed her lips annoyingly.
Ante replied with a wry smile.
I'm a hero Yet using necromancy I really had fallen so low
By the way, you may start, Your Highness.
Enma gently presented a paper box to me who made forlorn look on my face.
It's not a jack-in-the-box right?
Something like that.
Enma laughing complacently It sounds like dry bones though.
I opened the box carefully and peeked inside and just as I thought, it contained a centipede-like poisonous insect.
What is this?
Kill this and try to resurrect it.
As expected Rather, you can actually turn bugs into undead too.
Naturally. It just that they have an extremely feeble soul, that's why even if they turn. They turn into trashy undead who can't even do your order properly.
On the other hand, it was really good news that insects turned undead couldn't accomplish complex orders. Otherwise, they'll make an extremely troublesome assassin, which will endanger alliance positions even more than before.
If you kill it, it's easier to make a strong connection with it. And if it just died, the soul is still in the best condition. Open the gate, call the soul, and drag it out with your magical power, and offer their remains. That's how you make the lowest rank undead.
I see.
Does that mean it's impossible to revive the soul that already collapsed?
That's the true death. But, as long as there's strong lingering attachment, as long as there's some remnant left in the material world, it's possible to call them. That's almost the same as the rite to summon the ancestral spirit.
Enma pucked her lips but it was just what I had expected.
If that was the case The lingering attachment, was it?
Okay, here you go.
Well, let's focus on the topic before me for now. I switched my focus and killed the insect with a needle that I got from Enma.
My apologies.
Aorat Teihos Po Horizui Ton Kozumo, Anixite
Open the gate with dark magic.
Inirie Ne Woz Fapana
I stretched my hand of magical power, looking for the Centipede in pitch black darkness
And then pulled out a translucent centipede from the gate.
And offered its corpse right away.
Oh, you did it.
Said Enma with a really light voice.
Yeah I guess.
In the paperbox that I held in my hand.
The dead centipede started to move again.
