Surviving as an Academy Black Magician - Surviving as an Academy Black Magician chapter 41

Everyone was at a loss for words at the gruesome sight. The elders who followed Rakan stared at his headless torso with their mouths open.

Seeing the bewildered faces made me laugh out loud.

“… … .”

“… … .”

A heavy stillness that seems to suffocate.

A huge snake born from Magi licked its lips and flicked its forked tongue.

The vertically slit pupils looked around to find new prey.

“It’s down to five now.”

At those words, the two elders trembled. I slowly approached him and asked.

“Are you the supreme elder now?”

His eyes fluttered incessantly. He is contemplating what answer to give.

“I guess not.”

As I was about to move, he suddenly knelt down and banged his head on the floor.

“… Please save me.”

I also bent my knees to meet him at eye level.

“Please save me?”

“Mo, if you save my life, I will do anything you ask!”

obvious speech.

The guy who just a moment ago had burning intent to kill is now lying flat on the floor begging for his life.

“Then will you give up your position as elder to spare your life?”

He raised his head.

“That, as much as that… … .”

I had ridicule.

“why? Life is precious, but I will not give up my rights. Is this what you mean?”

“That, not that… … . If the first elder also died and I disappear, the elders will inevitably collapse. The Presbyterian Church is the pillar that has been with the birth of our 72 denominations. Aren’t you still young? Our Presbyterian Council will be of great help in leading the denomination after taking office.”

… Didn’t he feel anything even though the elder’s head was ripped off right in front of his eyes?

There were still bones in his words. My bones were that I, still young, would need their help to lead the church.

Even if he implicitly reveals his true intentions, his shameless attitude eventually urges his orders.

Right.

I snapped my fingers and the snake disappeared without a trace. Only then did the two elders look at me with a relieved face.

“Wasn’t it you who said how to leave the position of leader to an outsider without roots? How can I be sure that something like today won’t happen after I become the leader?”

The two elders became dumb after eating honey.

From the very beginning, when I was gathered here by the summoning order of Eden, the priest, they must have planned to kill me. If it had to be, Eden would have tried to get rid of it as well.

The offer that was first handed to me was practically no different from a threat.

Threats to kill him if he doesn’t give up his position.

Perhaps it was their plan that led the previous leader into a trap.

He banged his head again and shouted.

“… please trust me I will never make that mistake again!”

“okay. There is some truth in what you said. Today’s mistake will be overlooked.”

face suddenly brightened.

“Are you sure? thank you! thank you!”

Eden, who was watching this scene, also looked at me with a surprised face.

“but. There is one condition.”

“If it is a condition… … .”

From noble mtl dot com

“I will make a lion’s oath to the members of the Presbyterian Church gathered here. Shouldn’t I have that kind of insurance too?”

oath of the dead.

It was the black magic I used on Rachel during the entrance exam.

Originally, it was a very basic form of curse that would lead to death if Haeju was not used for a certain period of time, but what I am going to use now is an improvement in my own way.

The content is simple. If you break the oath, you die.

Because the black magic that becomes the prototype is so basic, Haeju itself is not too difficult.

However, it was another matter for them, as black magicians, to visit a priest who was no different from the enemy of the deadly enemy and ask for help.

I stood up and shouted at the other elders and the church members who followed them.

“I will be honest. Originally, I was going to kill all of you right here and now. It’s because there’s no reason to let you live for ignoring my warning and showing hostility. Just standing there is enough reason to kill you guys. However, my mind has changed.”

I took a moment to catch my breath and looked at them.

“I will have mercy on you and give you one more chance. Those who wish to follow me, uphold the oath right here and now.”

They only look at each other’s eyes. No one raised their hand confidently.

The elders’ reaction was as expected, but I thought that maybe one or two would raise their hands on their own.

‘It’s no different from living with a ticking time bomb that’s about to explode, so I have no choice but to feel rejected.’

at that time.

The church member at the far end raised his hand. When I heard the voice, it sounded like a woman.

“I will take it.”

“Come forward.”

she stepped forward No one opened their mouths hastily, but the eyes of countless church members turned to her.

I can assure you, it was the gaze of a traitor.

A woman with a cold impression looked at me with an expressionless face. Empty eyes, devoid of any emotion. It was as if I was holding a doll in front of me.

Looking at it, I felt an indescribable sense of incongruity.

“name is?”

“This is Daisy.”

Daisy’s flower language is love and hope.

Ironically, these were the words that were the furthest from the woman in front of me.

I stretched out my hand towards her and raised her.

“From now on, I will make an oath to you.”

The woman answered calmly.

“yes.”

Chiik, a sound resounded and a brand was engraved on the nape of her neck.

“Stand by the side.”

“yes.”

“Are there any more?”

A total of three applicants came out. The last applicant was surprisingly the youngest elder, the 6th elder.

“… I-I’ll take it too!”

He watched carefully and walked out.

Eventually, the impatient elders stood up and shouted. The second elder, who had been begging for his life until just now, was screaming loudly with a blood vessel standing on his neck.

“Yes, you six elders! Aren’t you ashamed! Does this guy with the name Elder want to live as that young guy’s dog for the rest of his life!”

“Members of the 72 denominations, listen up! Will you become a slave to that bastard for the rest of your life and live a life inferior to that of cattle! What we serve is Lord Andromalius, not an outsider without roots! Let’s all work together to drive out that demon! Trust and follow the elders! God help us if we join forces!”

“What are you doing! Come on, wake up! No matter how much I say that I am an apostle of a higher demon god, there is no way my body will be fine because I have used that much power! Everyone stand up and defend the Order!”

The church members who heard that also rose from their seats and burned hostility toward me.

“you’re right! Brothers! Wake up!”

“Drive it out! Drive out that devil!”

“We must protect the church from that fiend!”

As befits those who serve the snake god, his skill at teasing his tongue was excellent.

Cunning snake birds.

Watching the scene in silence, I smiled with satisfaction.

“Now you’re showing your true colors.”

The time for a water change has finally arrived. I approached the 6 elders who were in a panic and didn’t know what to do.

“Are you still hesitating? Then see with your own eyes.”

I don’t know if those idiots are blinded by power and can’t make normal judgments, or if they’re just stupid. One thing we could be sure of was that they would soon go to the side of their beloved god.

Those who received the oath from me were bitten on the back. they made a choice. I intend to respect that choice.

“Take a good look now. What would have happened if you hadn’t chosen me.”

The elders and church members lined up in an instant. They were drawing a circle with the 2 elders at the head.

For a thing made hastily, the demonic energy emanating from them was quite hideous.

‘… Are you planning on sacrificing life force to drive power?’

Even at this moment, the second elder’s magic was increasing exponentially.

One member of the church, who was sitting at the very back, fell down. Perhaps it was because he consumed all his vitality, and he looked like a mummy.

Rather than accepting the oath and living like a slave, choosing to become a victim of black magic and go to the side of a god is a tribe that I can’t understand.

“Ahh! feel it! Andromalius is with us! All worship!”

Magi, the source of power for black magicians, are divided into classes depending on which existence they have signed a contract with.

Common black magicians use black magic by praying to the demons they worship.

Because it is obtained by worshiping a god, it takes the form of an indirect contract, and the limits of its power are clear.

Occasionally, there are people who are chosen by God and pay a price to make a contract.

Because it is a direct contract with God, it gains power that is incomparable to that of ordinary black magicians.

Then what is an apostle? They are the ones who have been bestowed with power by God. That power differs sharply depending on which demon god he was chosen by.

Do you think it’s unfair? If so, you have seen through the essence. Injustice, injustice, force against reason. That is the essence of black magic.

Just because he was chosen by the devil, he becomes a demon overnight and gains the power to overthrow the city.

This is one of the reasons wizards hate black magicians so much.

How could they not be disgusted in the eyes of those who have devoted their whole lives to the study of magic and achieved success?

“Bardium of the red sword, commander of the 72nd system.”

A low, subdued voice. As if answering the call, a cool wind blows.

Shaaa.

Trees dancing feebly, the air trembling finely, and the murky shadows slowly rising.

“To manifest in this place now.”

Dozens of crows flocked to them screaming as they scrambled through the sky.

Caw. Caw.

That nasty sound gets on my nerves even more. As if my keen senses were trying to inform me of something, I shouted urgently.

‘… … no way.’

When they felt the primordial magic that was so thick and unbelievable that it belonged to humans, they realized the true nature of the black magic they had been preparing with even their vitality.

―Demon Summoning Ceremony.

The air around the area vibrated violently.

damn

There is a crack in space. A demon holding a red greatsword slowly walked out of the gap.

[Did you call me.]

A voice like scratching rusty metal.

“exactly. Follow the call of the oath and slay that monster over there! It doesn’t matter if you take the soul!”

[i get it.]

Red eyes turned to me. A pair of black wings. Judging from its gigantic size and mighty magic, it seemed that it was a demon with the title of noble among demons.

“… … .”

However, something was strange.

The demon stood there, taking no action, just staring at me.

[Strange.]

subtle air currents.

Sensing something strange, the second elder urgently shouted.

“Bardium. Why are you still!”

―Suddenly, Bardium drew his sword and aimed it at his head.

[human. You tricked me.]

angry voice.

Embarrassed by the unexpected action, the second elder shouted.

“Bar, Bardium? uh, what does that mean? cheating on you I am the contractor who summoned you! Aren’t you the one who accepted the legitimate contract!”

[Shut up. The contract is terminated.]

“Are you digging? What does that mean! Bardium? Bardium? Where are you going now!”

The distraught 2 elders cried out earnestly, but Bardium ignored his words and went back to the gap in space.

“Bardiuuum!!!”

He looked at him screaming and gave a gentle smile. Eden’s boisterous laughter could be heard from far away.
