I Became The Academy Necromancer - Chapter 386



Side Story. Guardian of the Republic

“Oh, you can go right away. “I will take you there.”

They said there was a hotline, and it looks like they got connected really quickly. The Acting President must be the highest and busiest person in the Clark Republic, seeing as how he can be met right away.

‘Or they were waiting for someone there too.’

From noble mtl dot come

When I first entered the city, I didn’t feel anything special, but as I got closer and closer, I began to feel the gaze of those around me.

It wasn’t that I was following around and watching, but it just felt like someone was looking down on the entire city.

“Lila Besh, I think you’re safe here.”

At my words, Lila shakes her shoulders and lowers her head deeply as she tries to say something.

“All right! And, I would appreciate it if you could talk comfortably!”

“… “Yes.”

I felt a little sorry to see him lose his discipline so quickly.

It seems like I was embarrassed by the way the management bureau executives treated me and their slightly delinquent vibe.

Although they are now executives, they are still resistance fighters from scrap metal dealers who were living wild lives.

Even though he wore a suit, he still had wounds and freedom inside his body, so of course he had to be different from executives in other departments.

‘Although I’m a little anxious about just leaving it behind.’

I know you’re in my group, so I can’t treat you lightly.

It didn’t take that long to get to the Presidential Representative’s office.

Since it was literally connected directly, I was able to get there smoothly with a free pass wherever I went.

“At the end is the office of the Deputy President.”

In response to the words of the former scrap metal dealer and current management bureau executive who guided me here, I asked something that bothered me a little while ago.

“But how did I introduce myself? “He probably knows that the memorial service is dead, right?”

“Ah, I introduced you as a close friend of His Majesty King Orpheus. “It’s not wrong anyway, right?”

“Your liver is also big.”

“If it wasn’t for that, I wouldn’t have been able to fight as a resistance member in the Clark Republic.”

That was correct.

Just now, I said that they are a bit frivolous and light-hearted, unlike executives in other places.

In other words, they are free and flexible.

Because they are the ones who tell these lies, they can tell them without much hesitation.

“Well, it won’t hurt us that your brother-in-law is here.”

Saying so, the member of the scrap metal shop knocked on the door and opened the door as soon as he heard the answer.

Acting President Nikolai, who was waiting inside, had dark circles in his eyes.

He looked quite tired, but I could definitely tell that something was going on in the Clark Republic.

“I heard that he is a close friend of Orpheus.”

Still, he smiled and offered to shake my hand, probably because he thought I was a distinguished guest.

After holding hands, I would have normally just said hello, but there was no need to waste time like that.

“What is happening in the Republic recently?”

When I ask him bluntly, his expression his trembles. The members of Gocheolsang who came with us also watched carefully and quietly stepped back so as not to disturb the conversation.

I was embarrassed at first, but that was because my speaking style was so direct.

Smile and respond immediately.

“Ah, you’re talking about the monsters that have been happening all over the Republic recently?”

“…”

“Although it is a sudden situation, the Republic soldiers, starting with the Management Bureau, are doing their best to respond.”

I think I’m talking about gods, but unfortunately that’s not the problem.

“I have already resolved the issue regarding the monsters you are talking about.”

“Yes… ?”

“You don’t have to worry about that anymore. “They won’t come forward.”

It is a freedom that took a long time to obtain.

If you didn’t want to escape your fate and disappear within a few months, you would have just closed your eyes and run away.

I heard that clumsy gods were looking for an opportunity now, so if everyone heard my name, they would have acted clumsily.

That’s not the problem.

“I’m asking about another matter.”

“…”

As if he realized what I was saying, his eyes turned towards the scrap metal dealer member over his shoulder.

“Is this really an acquaintance of Orpheus?”

“Yes? You’re right. I’m sure.”

Acting President Nikolai takes a breath and looks carefully at the confident answer of the scrap metal dealer.

This was a passage that showed how cautious he was.

Because I was asked one more time as if it was some sort of secondary authentication.

“Are you really human?”

In response to Acting President Nikolai’s question, the Gocheolsang member behind me speaks in confusion.

“What is that…”

However, I held out my hand and instructed him not to intervene, so he kept his mouth shut and backed away.

Anyone who sees me will think I am the president’s representative.

“I am human. That is why I have come to help you and this land.”

“Ah.”

At my words, President Nikolai sighs deeply and cups his face with both hands.

That means he was under a lot of stress.

To give him more trust, I ask him first.

“What kind of great devil is this?”

“Well, do you know that much?!”

“I know the Archdemon is involved. “I need to know for sure what kind of great evil it is.”

There are a total of six great devils I have met so far.

The deformed archdemon Velika.

Magan, the great devil of gluttony.

Valkyria, the great devil of struggle.

The great demon of worship, Faerun.

Dune, the Great Demon of Pride.

Learic, the great devil of deception.

All the great demons I have encountered so far were ultimately defeated by me.

In the case of Velika, she was with Stella in a special way.

Anyway, the other five great devils are all dead.

Shouldn’t we know the names that will be added to that list?

“I am Rodron, the great devil of domination. He is threatening to lead his army of demons and sweep over the Clark Republic at any moment.”

Lordron, the great devil of domination.

‘That’s a name I heard from Velika.’

Usually, great demons do not act in groups. However, he handles demonic beasts and a small number of elite demons with his own limbs.

This guy named Rodron was different.

In keeping with the adjective of domination, the more beings that are dominated by one, the stronger the power becomes.

That’s why I heard that it is the biggest force among the great devils.

“He threatened me. He said that the numerous demons he leads could invade from the sky at any moment and end the Republic.”

“…”

“I told you that if you don’t like it, plant your own minions within the republic. Taking the position of president after me… It will be Rodron himself.”

Acting President Nikolai is gloomy yet expressing resentment.

“Is this reality?”

As he clutches his chest as if his heart is in pain, thick teardrops eventually fall from his eyes.

“Not a rich land like the Han Empire or the Griffin Kingdom. I thought the Clark Republic was the pride of humanity that blossomed from a harsh environment.”

The pride he had as a leader.

“I thought that those who fought for freedom without giving in even under the rule of the Great Evil ultimately proved the greatness of humanity through honor and victory.”

Responsibility as a leader.

Everything was falling apart inside him without any fault.

“Is this really reality? Am I supposed to accept that Magan, who exploited us and was dictatorial, was actually protecting the people of the Republic?”

To put it bluntly.

It wasn’t completely wrong.

Because of the partnership between Archdemon Magan and the three archvillains, others were unable to covet the Clark Republic.

But the throne was empty.

There were bound to be people running at me like crazy, drooling.

“I never thought I would go through such a helpless time. The only choice I have to make in my position as Acting President is to hand over this land to the great devil.”

I, too, became lost in thought as I looked at President Nikolai, who was becoming more frustrated the more he spoke.

He was just.

Just like Laila Besch, a member of the management bureau, that I saw on my way there.

“The Republic is truly a land with many possibilities.”

I couldn’t help but say those words without even realizing it.

Since they knew the tragedy better than anyone else, they proved their innocence in order to distance themselves from it.

Acting President Nikolai and Laila Besh. It’s not just that I’m good at meeting people, it’s that there are a lot of people like this in the Clark Republic.

If there is a common enemy, people cannot help but become close.

Those who defeated Magan were trying to maintain their humanity and not end up like Magan.

“It’s okay not to worry.”

So, I decided that I could trust him and leave it to him, so I patted him on the shoulder and went out.

“The Republic will be safe.”

Rattling.

When I open the door and go outside, a member of the scrap metal dealer follows me.

“Uh, where are you going?”

He might have despaired when he heard that the great evil was coming, but he kept his spirits up and prepared to fight again.

“Meet him.”

Saying that, I opened the window in the hallway, stepped on the railing, and went outside.

“Up, Monumental Master?!”

Embarrassed, I left the member who called me by my old name and flew into the sky until I reached the roof of the building.

Now that we know who the owner of the eye that was watching the entire Clockwork was and what its purpose was, it was time to face it face to face.

“Rodron.”

The sky is distorted.

A night sky without a single cloud.

A great devil with horns who literally spreads his huge wings in the swirling sky.

Lordron, the great devil of domination.

Like other great devils, this one was similar to a human but had a distinctly different appearance.

The whole body was like ashes, but the condensed heat was sleeping inside.

Both horns rising downwards looked like spears of punishment for those they ruled.

“Commonwealth Temple.”

Rodron faces me, whispering his name his his as if he knows my identity his.

In the storm created by the flapping of its wings, I asked calmly.

“There is no room for dialogue or negotiation. However, I will give you the choice.”

My mercy is limited to humans. My heart is not wide enough to be merciful to both gods and the great devil.

“Either you stand here and retreat, or you will face the same fate as the six great devils whose positions are now vacant.”

More than half of the 10 great devils disappeared. I also heard from Velika that the Great Devils’ activities have become less active because of that.

“A human chosen by the continent. “You wise man who continues life even after putting an end to the fate that the gods had spoken of.”

Lord Ron is quite grandiose, so he adds a modifier and raises the corners of his mouth. It was a kind of mockery towards me.

“I know that you fought against the continent and won. “The way he handled so many sleeping souls was truly great.”

“…”

“Yes, one with vast mana. Even you, who were called a necromancer, are ultimately a necromancer in essence.”

Even though Lordron knew that I was staying in the Clark Republic, he proceeded with the matter.

That means.

It means that you are ready to deal with me.

“Look around. “Is there a soul on this earth for you to deal with?”

After that, the b*stard’s laughter burst out loudly. Even if you have power, you don’t have a soul to use it, so how on earth are you going to deal with yourself?

Just as a necromancer is helpless without a corpse.

Even a necromancer is helpless without a soul.

It was a universal strategy.

“It’s a bit surprising that you even thought that such a standard would apply to me, but…”

Of course, it won’t be able to generate electricity.

I probably won’t ever have to deal with my soul personally and put all my effort into it.

There won’t be any need.

“You took a gamble with quite low odds.”

“A helpless necromancer with enormous mana and an archdemon pouring out his might. “Isn’t it a fight worth fighting?”

I am complacent.

I clicked my tongue and tried to show the gap to him, who had entered the fight with only a partial understanding of our side’s strength.

“… !”

The strong presence makes my head turn without me knowing.

And the power that had been given to her body was released, and the condensed mana was gradually released.

“Hmm?”

Rodron, like me, must have noticed her presence as he frowned and checked the high walls of Clockwork.

With your back to the moonlight.

Blood-red eyes staring at us while holding the weapon, Baekseol.

“It arrived quickly.”

I didn’t want to make her move for no reason, but when she saw that situation, I realized I had made a mistake.

If the great evil appears in Griffin, I will come find it.

After all, I am a member of the Northwedden family belonging to the Griffins.

So, on the contrary.

If the Great Evil appears in the Clark Republic.

A guardian will appear to protect them.

The members of the scrap metal dealer who protected freedom suddenly became executives of the administrative bureau working at the heart of the republic.

And the woman who led the scrap metal dealer and always took the lead swinging the ax.

One wolf encompasses the entire republic.

It became a guardian deity.
