I’m not going to die

30 – Wizard Frank

“Puhuhhh!”

Raeli laughed at my sincere confession.

I laughed and wrinkled my face, perhaps because my pierced stomach hurt.

“…why are you laughing?”

“No, Argal, where are the immortals in the world?”

Wherever you are, here you are.

Judging by the atmosphere, she didn’t believe it at all.

“It was a funny joke, though.”

“If you think about it carefully, every time you threw your body to save others, you did it because you didn’t die… .”

She held my hand tightly.

“But Argal, even if you’re really an undead, it’s not like you’re not sick.”

“…”

“They pretend to have changed on the outside, but on the inside, they are still the same weak Confucius.”

Hold it tight with both hands.

That feeling is so choking.

because it was heavy.

I couldn’t say anything.

“I don’t see that kind of devotion as proof that I’m immortal.”

“…”

“You don’t risk your life to save others because you’re an immortal, right? It’s just your personality.”

“why… .”

“It looks like a lie to anyone who sees it, a lie about not risking your life to protect yourself.”

Raeli smiled.

her laugh.

I was so full of worries.

“Even if you really believe that, if you really die, you can’t get it back. So don’t throw yourself away.”

she doesn’t believe

that I won’t die

Even if you believe it, if you really die.

Because I was afraid of the fact that I could never go back.

The bottom line is, don’t die.

To me, who has meaning only when he dies.

In the past, the nickname Undead was always attached to the front of the name.

Even if you bring out the facts now, you won’t believe it.

It was ironic.

Before the return, since I had died and resurrected so many times, rumors spread all over the place, so I believed it when I said it.

But not now.

For example, if you shout ‘I am immortal’ in the middle of the street, would you believe that you are immortal if you are treated like a madman?

The undead that shook the continent in the past were not here.

He sent Raeli out of the barrier and said.

“For now, rest.”

“Okay… . I will be sleeping… .”

Before fainting like that, she left these last words.

“Don’t die, Argal.”

The barrier that swallowed so many demons was closed as if it was enough for only one person to pass through.

And I collapsed on the spot.

Even the demonic energy that supported the body had disappeared.

“Are you okay?!”

I supported the day when the warrior fell.

“Argal!”

Then Fran comes running.

Yes, one last person left.

Raeli, I can’t give you what you want.

As an immortal, there is still one thing left for me to do is to die one more time.

**

A carriage was pulling up on a deserted road.

It’s been a long time since the city center, which was filled with a festive atmosphere just a moment ago, has turned into a melancholy one.

There weren’t many carriages going to those cities.

There was only one girl riding in the carriage.

She muttered as she rested her chin on her face as she watched the rapidly changing scenery.

“…I’ll follow you! really.”

Bessia had no choice but to recuperate less and head to the academy.

Because of that, every time the wagon was shaken, his whole body throbbed, but he couldn’t help it.

To curse Argal for causing such a thing.

“Are you crazy? I will see the actual performance with that body.”

The bishop discouraged her from going, but she was so anxious that she couldn’t stay still.

All of them who were taking the practical exam were confined to the black magic barrier.

Besides, Argal seems to be included in it.

The maid who served Argal even sent a letter to the bishop asking him to save her master, so he couldn’t help but know.

That’s why Bessia headed to the academy right away with a bad body.

The bishop was worried, but her will was clear.

If she died and came back, it seemed that she herself would not be able to bear it.

“Crazy man, real madman, I know you’ll die to me when you come back.”

I don’t know what the hell he was thinking, but Bessia, who thought that she would never leave Argal alone for doing such a thing, came up with several ideas.

“Yeah, I’m going to make you unable to leave your room for a month.”

There, read a book together, memorize the Bible, and recite the Lord’s Prayer. No, do you want to learn devotion there and run amok to save others?

Bessia, who had such a delusion, felt that she was arriving at the academy soon.

That’s why I didn’t go to the academy.

Because the practice site is not in the academy.

“Coachman, turn me around!”

“All right. Priest!”

A demon so large that his entire body tingles.

To create a barrier with such magic was a scale that even Bessia would be astonished at.

Obviously, it could not have been made unless it was a transcendental person.

But she was confident.

Although not recognized, I believe that my skills have reached the level of a saint.

As the carriage ran, a crowd of people gathered near the barrier could be confirmed.

Starting with the priests and paladins of the church, those who appear to be faculty members, the faculty who are in charge of the core brains of the academy, and even those who wear the most prestigious clothes and look like the deans.

Those countless priests were pouring their holy power into the barrier.

Even so, there was no change in the slightest, so the atmosphere gradually approached nervousness.

“When is the sword master coming?”

“They say you can’t come, monsters are pouring in from the north.”

“Damn, at a time like this… .”

“Why is the saintess candidate going to a foreign country at a time like this… .”

While everyone was immersed in worry, Bessia proudly walked towards the barrier.

One of the priests, noticing Besiah approaching, stopped her and said,

“You are my sister. If you’ve come to help break through the barrier, I’d like to stop you as it’s meaningless.”

“That’s right. Even though I poured out my holy power for three days and nights, there was not a single speck of difference.”

“Look out of the way.”

Bessia waved her hand and approached the barrier.

The priest who had stopped her scratched his head and moved away.

Facing the black barrier like that, Besiah began pouring her holy power with all her might.

great light.

covers this space.

“Unbelievable… .”

“Such a miracle is possible… .”

Incredible holy power admired by all.

The so-called, saint-level power.

Not only the priest nearby, but also the teachers on the other side, who were devising countermeasures, gathered their eyes.

The barrier could not withstand such transcendent holy power.

The barrier, which had been extremely solid, began to break through.

People admired it.

“Oh oh!”

“Break through. We can break through that barrier!”

However, the person’s face gradually crumpled.

Even as Bessia poured out her holy power, she knew that even this had a limit.

The barrier self-repaired at a tremendous speed.

Far from removing the barriers, it was merely opening a hole for a moment.

A hole that even two people could barely pass through.

Perhaps if I stopped pouring out my holy power, that hole would be filled right away.

So he said hastily.

“One of the strongest people here! Somebody come quickly!”

“what’s going on?”

“I can’t keep the gap I left open for a while! We have to get in right away!”

Here, the professors were perplexed but calmly selected candidates.

“How about the dean go?”

“The strongest person here is, of course, the dean.”

“It’s been a while since I played active duty, and my skills aren’t the same as before.”

“Then who should go… .”

No matter how much he wanted to save the test-takers, there was no professor who would recklessly jump into that interior where there might be some danger.

At least I would have had the courage to go in together, but to be alone with that priest who had pierced the barrier.

It’s too risky.

In the meantime.

When no one else came out, there was someone who walked out first.

“I’ll go in.”

it was a woman

She had messy hair, and even her clothes were all crumpled, as if she had been stuck in a small room somewhere.

Even so, the appearance did not fade.

A voluptuous body, brown hair, and two gray eyes.

It was a beauty that would make you admire just by looking at it.

Seeing her like that, the professors were taken aback.

“Professor Ophelia… .”

“Are you into this?”

Seeing that he is going to rescue someone, it seems rude to ask why.

Against Ophelia, it was worth it.

He was a professor who was interested in his own research and wouldn’t even care if the world collapsed.

In the first place, no one expected to come here.

Ophelia crumpled the test paper out of her pocket and held it up.

One of the professors who saw the test paper she took out lifts her glasses and quickly reveals what it is.

“…That’s the written test, isn’t it? It looks like magic, but it’s a test you gave.”

“This last problem.”

Touching the test paper with her finger, she said.

His eyes were filled with strange heat.

“There is a human who is close to the correct answer, there.”

“…because what the hell is that?”

“you do not need to know.”

It was a word that made even those who did not know Ophelia know what her personality was like.

People groaned at that attitude.

“Hey, who the hell is sleeping?”

“…I don’t have a good personality, but I can assure you of your skills.”

She didn’t even care about the reactions of others and approached Bessia with a leisurely pace.

“Priest, what is your name?”

“…It’s Bessia.”

“Okay Bessia, let’s go in together.”

“Are you the strongest person here?”

At Bessia’s question, Ophelia smiled and said,

“I was a former tower owner, so what?”

Bessia still couldn’t forget the strength of the Black Tower Wine.

Because the word Tower Master was a symbol of strength at the pinnacle of wizards.

At least, even though Argal did everything in his power, he was barely expelled by giving his life to the demon instead of exterminating it.

Then there was no reason not to believe in strength.

“Count to three.”

As soon as the pouring holy power stops, the hole in the barrier will immediately close.

I had to go through it right before that.

Bessia counted and gradually reduced the strength of the holy power.

The gap that had been opened to some extent began to close in an instant.

“now!”

So the two of them jumped and went inside the barrier.

In a very short time, the barrier is completely closed and completely blocked.

“therefore… .”

Everyone’s eyes were focused on me.

…What is it that interests you so much?

Not only the main characters, Frank, Hero, Swordsman, and Changsong, but also all the examinees were attracted.

No, bring out the secret of the dagger here?

Even if I’m not a person who cares about other people’s eyes, isn’t this a bit off?

However, because of the unspoken pressure, it was impossible not to bring it up.

He sighed and told me exactly what the dagger was.

Since I used black magic in front of them, I couldn’t help but make excuses.

“It is a dagger that allows me to use black magic at the cost of my life.”

Fran was frightened.

“then!”

“I’m worried because you won’t die right away with one stab… .”

“That’s not the problem! It means I used up my life.”

oh, that was the problem

Fran was worried about my shortened lifespan.

The hero accurately judged my condition with insightful eyes.

She looked something gloomy.

“If you calculate the reduced vitality, it will be about 40 years. A heinous thing that should never be used… .”

All the worried eyes were focused on me.

No, worrying about dying early from an undead is too awkward.

Strangely, I was making excuses.

“It’s cheap if you save one person with a lifespan of 40 years.”

“…Hello, do you think that makes sense?”

The swordsman laughed in vain.

My opinion that a lifespan of 40 is only a face is absurd.

“You are so devoted, Argal, on second thought, you and I were not of the same mind. You are a person who will go to church and become a saint or a hero.”

I sighed.

Sword Saint, are you like that too?

If this is the case, there is nothing you can do about it.

turned the subject

“Hero, you know that this is not the time for us, right?”

“…I know.”

Even the warrior would know for sure.

That there is another high-level demon behind it.

Like Raeli, I was worried about getting Frank safely out of the barrier, but there was a reason why he didn’t.

Because the high-ranking demons who witnessed that one person was sent alive through the barrier won’t give them another chance.
