I don't think that a necromancer's technique, attempted without even knowing the principle, will succeed and solve the situation the first time.
If she had known this would happen, she would have held onto El, who was busy and asked him one more question. She regretted it, but it was useless to regret it now.
'It just takes some time.'
El said that the Necromancer's skills are the easiest for a Necromancer to handle, and the stronger the power, the more comfortable it is to use, like raising a hand and breathing.
If that's the case, Simone might be able to do this without as much difficulty as she thought.
Of course, it won't be that easy for the current Simone, who was an ordinary person and not a necromancer until just half a year ago.
Simone reached out to the ghost.
'Just give it a try.'
I don't know, so, should I just drag and drop that?
Black mana quickly burst out from Simone's hand and enveloped the ghost.
The eyes of the Grand Duke of Illeston, who was watching this scene from afar, became sharp.
‘What on earth is that child’s power...?’
Was it that destructive?
No, it was destructive.
'But...'
The question is, could she have used that kind of power so easily and without rest?
Of course, Grand Duke Illestone has also seen many scenes of Simone exerting all her power.
Was the first time he saw such power when the evil spirit swept through the mansion?
At that time, Simone used up all the strength she had and fainted.
So, at that time, Simone must have expended a lot of energy to exert that much strength.
Now?
Simone is using her explosive mana sparingly, repeatedly using it, and toying with the ghost in front of her.
“Kelle.”
“Yes, Master.”
“What does that look like to you?”
Kelle answered the Grand Duke of Illeston's question immediately.
“It appears to be a typhoon and tsunami made of black mana.”
Even for Kelle, who is several times older than him, it is a strange sight and a strange power that he has never seen in his life.
The black mana that flowed out like an aura from Simone's body became so large that it instantly covered the entire mansion, covering the ghosts.
Then, she tried to pull it as it was and attach it to the cat's corpse, or tried to blow it away or mix it with black mana and forcibly absorb it into the corpse.
That disgusting-looking ghost is flying around so pitifully.
Thanks to that, the feeling of intimidation they felt when they first saw it has completely subsided.
As time goes by, or rather, as each time it flies, its shape becomes clearer, so it doesn't seem to fly because it likes it.
As she is swayed by Simone's power, her resentment towards her seems to be growing stronger.
Grand Duke Illestone quietly removed his hand from his sword.
I don't have to go out.
He thought so and observed Simone closely.
Is that the power of awakening?
She stood upright, even as she repeatedly emitted amounts of mana that would have already caused the old Simone to faint.
She looked tired, but she didn't look like she was about to lose consciousness.
Is there any necromancer or wizard alive today who can show such power? It is truly an immense power.
“Did that kid train separately without me knowing?”
“Did that child have time to train leisurely? It must have become easier to use mana due to awakening.”
“...It’s certainly amazing. If that’s what a necromancer is, then it’s understandable why people in the past were afraid of it.”
Grand Duke Illestone agreed with Kelle's words. Simone could activate something like that so easily without even memorizing the spell.
Does Simone know how hard it is to create a scene like this?
The power of the necromancer has terrified countless people in the past.
It is now a power that is like salvation that saved the Illeston Mansion.
By the way.
By the way.
“Kelle, what do you think she's doing?”
For the first time, Kelle showed signs of embarrassment.
“I don’t know.”
So what is Simone doing with that immense power now?
Since a while ago, she's been just pouring out all her energy like crazy and repeating inefficient tasks.
'Torture... is that it?'
Is she now torturing a disembodied ghost?
If not, why is she moving the ghost around here and there?
It's like watching a whale playing with its prey.
If you're going to destroy it, do it, and if not, take appropriate action.
He has heard that Simone cannot easily dispel the curse now.
But there is a solution, which is to make a fuss in the middle of the night and dig up the cat's body.
It was an incomprehensible act.
Meanwhile, Simone was increasingly feeling the limits of her patience.
'Oh, this doesn't work either?'
She should not place the ghost and the corpse to be absorbed close to each other, and she should not try to absorb the ghost by trapping it in mana like she would absorb mana into a wall.
“Hmm..."
What this means is that if everything doesn't work out, she will have to resort to a last resort.
The last method Simone thought of.
After the ghost is destroyed once, the soul is captured and absorbed into the corpse before it scatters and heads toward the ghost gate.
But this method is too risky.
Can Simone sense the scattered souls once they are destroyed?
Of course, until now she had never detected it, nor had she ever tried to detect it.
She didn't even realize that the soul was accumulating in the body, so that's all she had to say.
Even if she could detect it, would she be able to catch it by swinging mana like she is doing now?
Of course, she just found out that she can swing the soul with mana by moving the ghost around.
However, she does not know how quickly and widely the scattered pieces of the soul will spread out.
Once a ghost is destroyed, there is no telling how long it will take for it to enter the ghost gate and emerge again as a curse.
So Simone has to wait ambiguously, not knowing when it will return.
The risk is high.
If Simone were to come back with as much vicious force as she did today while lifting other curses, it would be much harder to solve than it is now.
Isn't the ghost an evil spirit that even wants to kill everyone?
‘...Is there any other solution besides this?’
Simone gathered her thoughts. She had used up all she had anyway, so there was nothing left to do.
When did she ever think about what would happen later and then make a move?
Kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill
The giggling laughter had disappeared, and the ghost was truly alive.
However, it has been quite a while since she felt scared of a ghost with bloodshot eyes, bloodshot eyes, and an evil aura oozing out of it.
She ran too hard and used too much energy, so she was completely exhausted.
She's so sleepy, let's finish up quickly and go in.
Kill me, kill me-
The ghost stopped muttering. Simone's eyes glowed even redder and the airflow changed for a moment.
A heaviness that cannot be compared to the time when she used to roll the ghost around and play with it.
death.
The aura of death filled the air.
The flowers and trees in the garden began to wither and wilt in an instant, and the air was filled with poison.
Of course, Simone didn't intend for it to be like this.
As she started to implement what she wanted to do, she noticed that the surroundings had changed.
Grand Duke Illeston, who had been watching from afar, widened his eyes and shouted at Kelle.
“Kelle, close the window!”
"Yes!"
Kelle closed the window, following the Grand Duke's orders, but still couldn't believe what he was seeing.
'What is this...'
Meanwhile, Simone lifted the doll in her hand and completely destroyed it.
“This is no longer necessary.”
The only place that ghosts can enter is that cat's corpse.
A huge circular black curtain surrounded Simone and the ghost.
Simone had enlarged the mana barrier that she used primarily as a protective shield.
If she decides to handle it, it seems like it can be handled easily, so it seems like Simone's mana amount is definitely enormous.
Of course, her stomach hurts a little. It feels like her organs are a little twisted.
Anyway, she didn't know if this would stop the scattering of souls, but since she hadn't learned anything, if not this, there was no way for Simone to try anymore.
The ghost stared at Simone, her face stiff.
Simone shot Mana without saying a word.
Kkiyaaaaah!
The ghost disappeared in an instant, making all the resistance she had endured until now seem meaningless.
From now on, it's important. Simone closed her eyes and felt the mana filling this circular space.
Then, she sensed the presence of alien spirits between the manas. The spirits were naturally mingling with Simone's mana, just as air mixes with air.
“...Ugh.”
Unlike when she was using her full strength, she focused all her energy on mana, her whole body felt like it was being tightened and hurt.
Simone pressed hard against her abdomen and slowly reduced the shield, trapping the soul fragment within a small space.
And then it was absorbed into the cat's corpse.
“Ugh... Ugh...”
Is it working? At least on the surface, it looks like it's working. At least it's the most plausible situation she's tried so far.
All souls detected by the smoke inside the shield were captured.
“Cough!”
Cloudy blood spewed out of Simone's mouth.
“Oh my...”
She felt like her intestines were twisted, and it seemed they were really twisted.
'Let's leave this to the healer for now.'
“Cough, whoosh! Ouch!!”
Simone approached the cat to check.
She placed her trembling hands on the cat's body, observing her appearance which had not changed much.
...Warm?
And that's not all.
She can feel its heart beating faintly.
It's like a dead cat came back to life-
“Eww!”
Just as she was thinking that far, the cat suddenly started to stir, and Simone was startled and pulled her hand away.
The cat was breathing. She was so surprised that she looked at it for a while, and then suddenly! The cat's eyes, which had been closed, opened wide.
If she had known this would happen, she would have held onto El, who was busy and asked him one more question. She regretted it, but it was useless to regret it now.
'It just takes some time.'
El said that the Necromancer's skills are the easiest for a Necromancer to handle, and the stronger the power, the more comfortable it is to use, like raising a hand and breathing.
