Surviving as an Academy Black Magician

… second death.

My back is damp from cold sweat.

“Huh… . Heo-eok… .”

When I came to my senses, I clutched my chest in excruciating pain and rolled on the floor. My heart is burning hot, and my head hurts like it’s going to explode.

“Turn it off!”

asked Röndal, taken aback by my sudden action.

“… Sieghart? Why are you doing this all of a sudden?”

“Oooh!”

I feel sick to my stomach. I couldn’t stand it and vomited. The whole body loses strength.

I hit my head on the floor thinking I would lose my mind at any moment.

thud! thud!

From noble mtl dot com

Blood flows from the forehead.

But the pain shows no signs of stopping. The blood flowing through my body was like lava.

I scratched my neck as I was at a loss for what to do with the terrible pain as if lava was flowing through my body.

buck buck. buck buck.

Red blood trickled down from his skinned neck.

“… … you. What happened?”

He who can see what others cannot see might have noticed something strange in me. However, I didn’t have time to answer his question.

After the pain has subsided to some extent, I feel a sensation like bugs crawling in my head.

-Porridge again $#^ Yes? stop giving up? Why do you have to suffer to buy it? You lose#%^ anyway. The end is hell. You know that?

-This time it’s bug*, but next*? You’ll soon be like Rachel. A terrible monster who loses his reason and only rebels against killing while remaining only in the shell of instinct. how is it? Tea%& don’t you think that would be better?

– Sick. trash. loser. Bugs. irredeemable. dissembler.

“hehehe.”

Laughter leaked out.

If people see me suddenly laughing like I’m crazy, people might say I’m crazy, but it’s not like that.

is not it?

You may already be half crazy. I don’t know.

That’s not important.

‘Margie… . It must have been Magi… .’

found a way out

【Contractor. Are you dead again? It’s gotten to this point just by returning twice… I can’t stand it for long. I wonder if the soul will dissipate first, or if the mind will disintegrate before that and become evil. How come all of my apostles walk the same path?]

suddenly.

She recalled that Shion Sieghart, the first head of the Sieghart family and a legendary hero, was her apostle.

‘Come to think of it, Zion Sieghart was also your apostle. Didn’t you say that there was only one apostle before me, and that he was a demon, not a human? Isn’t Shion Sieghart a human?’

[To be precise, it was a being that was human. He eventually gained divine status in a human body and became a demon god like me. He was an interesting person in many ways. I couldn’t stay in one place as if I had a wanderlust. It always seemed to be chasing something. Wandering around the continent, sometimes I spit out words that even I couldn’t understand. Like “arrangements” for the distant future.】

… A human became a drinker? Is that possible?

There is an arrangement for the future.

What were you preparing for?

The more information I got about him, the more distant I felt.

‘Is it possible for a human being to gain divinity and become a god? How did Shion Sieghart become a demon?’

【It’s not impossible. I saw this body myself. Aren’t there beings that you humans name stars and hold up as transcendental beings? Since their inaction reaches the sky, it is possible to obtain the minimum godhood only if they have adequate enlightenment and achievements suitable for it. However, Zion did not acquire divinity in that way. He overcame demonic nature and became a god.]

‘Demonic… ?’

【Yes. To put it more simply, he was corrupted by demonic energy and became an evil. It was a reward for abusing all kinds of power. No matter how brilliant he was, he was a human after all. It was something that the weak human body could never handle. However, he regained his sanity. I overcame demonic nature and finally made it my own.]

If such a great man had become an evil, the aftermath would have been enormous.

In the first place, once it starts to run wild, no matter how powerful an unmanned soldier is, it can never regain reason.

There is no other way than to destroy it.

However, he regained his reason on his own, and furthermore, gained divinity and became a demon.

‘Is this possible… ?’

【This is the first time. I’ve never seen such a human even in this body that has lived for almost an eternity. He knew that he was superior to his body in terms of mental strength, but he never thought that he would be able to overcome his demonic nature. Maybe even you, who possesses Baal’s demonic energy, can do it.]

for a moment.

It’s Baal… ?

‘Why is that name popping up all of a sudden?’

【… Right. Did you not know at all? Ha ha ha ha ha! That’s funny. Yeah, I didn’t know everything about you.]

‘… Please explain properly.’

[Why do you think that a high-ranking demon like this body made a direct contract with an insignificant human like you, no, ‘Abel Croy’?]

‘Either you’re talented… Or wasn’t it just for fun?’

【There are people who are more talented than him. However, the reason I chose him is because of the traces of Baal. A scar covering half of his face. You might have thought that the bug-like demons were just the stigma of higher demons. But it was definitely the energy of Baal. It was so feeble that I couldn’t notice it unless I looked carefully, but there’s no way I wouldn’t know if I attacked him thousands or tens of thousands of times.]

It felt like getting hit in the head.

… The scars covering Abel Croy’s face were caused by Baal’s curse?

I had no idea. It’s because I’ve never made such detailed settings in the first place. At best, I thought it was just a demon with a title… .

ruler of hell.

It’s Baal… .

If you think about it, it was strange that a top-level demon like Asmodeus, who had little contact with humans, had chosen to sign a contract with Abel Croy.

‘However, why is Baal only for humans… .’

【I don’t even know this body. However, it was enough to arouse curiosity. If he hadn’t given me his soul in exchange, he would have died soon after. There’s no way that only humans can withstand Baal’s demonic energy.]

Was it because of this that he stood out in black magic?

“hahahaha. I really didn’t know anything.”

When I said something self-deprecating, everyone’s eyes turned to me.

It was an expression that did not understand English. Even Roman, who usually doesn’t show his emotions, had a worried face.

unexpected information.

It was valuable enough information that I might have to completely revise my plan.

However, in order to use this information, you must first get out of this hellish loop.

‘Asmodeus. If I use the boundary of nothing, will primitive regression be triggered?’

【If you could handle it as precisely as this body, it would be possible, but at your current level, it’s probably impossible.】

Suffice.

You only get one chance anyway.

I will bet everything on this car.

‘This is the last time.’

Huge mana covers the entire mansion.

After this… .

“Ahh… !! Have you already reached this point… . Do you mean to show the fact that, in the end, no matter how much I struggle, the pre-determined future won’t change! How naughty, demon! You must be smiling as you look at me crumbling at the end of hope! In the end, you gave me this authority to scorn me!”

Radamus, who saw the future, shouts in despair.

… It started.

The shadow of death looms before your eyes. However, this time I am not afraid.

I approached him

“Did everyone die this time too?”

Radamus’ pupils widened.

“That… … .”

Before he could finish, I spoke again.

“Whatever the old man saw, it won’t happen this time.”

He stared blankly at me as if he had seen a ghost.

“… … .”

will change

with my own hands.

“I will make it.”

He closed his eyes and raised the demon. Perhaps it was the aftereffects of using authority, he ran wilder and more viciously than before.

But not to the point of being out of control. A huge spear flew overhead.

It was created by condensing an enormous amount of demonic energy into one place.

It was because it was judged that it would be better to concentrate the power in one place rather than dispersing it in several places.

Also, it was easy to handle.

The form of the condensed magic was more like a battering ram rather than a spear.

It is a siege weapon to break down the castle gate of the one-armed swordsman.

I didn’t stop here and summoned Dyurahan. With the sound of horses’ hooves, a jockey lifted his neck and appeared in the room.

All right. All right.

Standing next to me, she waited for my command with her sword in hand.

I was just grateful to her for always answering my calls despite not having signed a formal contract yet. Then he summoned the magic spear.

“Axion.”

Holding the spear in my hand, I took a moment to catch my breath. I feel that the limit is gradually approaching.

Even if my body returned, my mind remained the same.

But it doesn’t stop.

This time it was reinforcement magic. I intend to use all the magical power I possess.

It doesn’t matter if magic exhaustion comes. After all, if you fail this time, there will be no more chances.

I directly implement the magic formula that I only envisioned in my head. I’ve never used it before, so I’m not sure if it will work normally.

Compresses the various strengthening techniques used so far to the limit, and beats them all over the body.

Combining all types of reinforcement into only one spell. I don’t think about the backlash that will come after the magic ends.

“Super strengthening.”

Roaring!!

The air was shaken by the explosive flow of mana.

Simply activating the magic caused the entire space to vibrate.

It has a distinct shape with a purple aura that covers its entire body. The purple flame that blooms and engulfs my body.

It was different from the strengthening magic I had used so far.

Due to the influence of magic, her black hair turned purple.

Soon, the black energy slowly rose above the surface of the flame that surrounded my body and merged with it, turning it black. It must be because part of my circle is made up of demons.

A fusion of magic and magic.

It was an unprecedented idea.

No, it would not have been possible without the circle made by Magi in the first place.

“Super acceleration.”

The dark purple aura that had been shaped like a flame soon became like a chain and wrapped around my whole body.

Took.

As soon as I took a step, the air was pushed out and a strong wind blew all around me.

I instinctively sensed that maintaining this state would only last less than five minutes.

Did they say that the flame right before it goes out shines the brightest? I was in exactly that situation right now.

I squeezed out the last remaining mana and cast enchantments on everyone in the room.

As an assistant mage, this is the field I am most confident in.

… With this, all preparations are complete.

I held my breath and waited for him to come.

thud!

A dull sound is heard.

he comes

I counted the numbers in my mind.

The time it takes for him to enter this room.

‘one.’

that buck that buck

‘two.’

that buck that buck

‘three!’

As soon as he entered the room, a huge battering ram created by condensing demonic energy rushed towards his chest.
