Chapter 9: There’s No Point in Using Heals on Dead Targets

“Hey, can you hear me?”

While I was concentrating on that illogical rays of holy light that were falling from the sky, suddenly, I heard an unexpected voice.

“Falan, just how did you…”

“Did you forget? I’m a Necromancer, and talking to the dead is my specialty. Even if you’re in a state of apparent death, you’re still close to death~ So, I’m able to talk to your soul~ Isn’t that so~?”

She smiled as she looked at the me in the sky, no, I should say, my soul.

“I guess so… Speaking of which, just why are they arguing?”

“Well, I can only say that all the people you know are good people. Other than that girl called Aliyah who harmed you unhesitatingly, the rest are all very worried about you.”

“I see, so they’re trying to use magic to heal me?”

The two rays of light that that were falling onto the arena, other than them being healing magic, I can’t think of anything else that they could be.

“That’s right, however, they won’t be successful.”

Falan said confidently.

“They can’t do it?”

“Yes.”

Falan smiled at me mysteriously, before continuing.

According to my judgment, currently, you are not considered to be alive, which means, you’re already half-dead. Healing magic will only work on living people, if you’re already half-dead, then you will have to find someone specialized in undeads.”

“In other words, you have a way to resurrect me, right?”

“Yep~”

“Alright alright, oh great, cute, beautiful and young Necromancer Kelany, could you please tell me how are you going to resurrect me?”

“Looks like your mind was somewhere else during Magical General Knowledge cla.s.s. Unless you really have no idea that in this world, only us Necromancers are able to use resurrection spells?”

“Resurrection spells?”

And I was wondering why I had never seen such a thing in books… So resurrection spells are cla.s.sified under Necromancy?

However, I do admit that I was sleeping during cla.s.ses related to magical general knowledge.

“However, currently, you can’t do it right? After all, it won’t be convenient for you to use Necromancy in front of so many people.”

“That’s right, however, I believe I can do it very soon.”

She smiled happily, but this gave me a weird feeling. According to what I understand about her, this girl will never take action unless it’s beneficial for her to do so.

However, I’m still quite curious about this resurrection spell. After all, to people of this world, unless their spirits are strong, or else when their physical bodies die, their minds will die along with them.

And why was a miraculous magic like resurrection sealed along with Necromancy? I don’t understand at all.

The situation progressed as how Falan predicted, and not long after, the two rays of light in the sky slowly dissipated. At the same time, the white lines that were coming from the corners of the arena slowly disappeared as well.

“They have realized that light healing magic aren’t going to work on you, and they’re planning to move you to the academy’s infirmary~”

Following Falan’s line of sight, I looked at the people that were beside my body.

Ms. Mari was speaking with an old man with a dark magic cloak, and after that, four strong-looking men ran towards me, and carried my body out of the arena.

At the same time, the old man raised his hand and summoned a magic circle on my body. From the symbols on the circle, it was definitely light magic.

The old man’s face was covered by his beard and hair, and I could not get a good look on his expression. However, seeing how he only cast an elementary-grade healing magic, he seemed to understand that using healing magic on me was useless.

I looked closely at the Magician insignia on his chest… and he was actually a Light True Magician.

Speaking of which, in this world, Magicians have different ranks. Although I do not have much information about them, but basically, most LV 20 Magicians will receive Beginner Magician insignias, and after that, they will progress onwards to being a True Magician. After True Magician, there’s High Magician and Archmage.

However… I currently could not judge this person’s traits at all. Because everything about this guy are all [???].

This is too much! What’s with this row of [???]!?

But, probably because I was able to judge his cla.s.s earlier, the question marks above his head underwent a change.

??? ??? LV ?? Light True Magician [???] [???] [???] …

Geez, do I actually have to find a magic spell that can allow me to unravel the stats and t.i.tles of people? For example, identification and probing magic? Or else, it would be a waste of my ability to see names and t.i.tles above the people’s heads.

This somehow explained why I had never seen someone who was above level 30. It’s not that they don’t exist, it’s because I simply could not see their levels at all.

Looks like there’s a restriction on the observable levels. It seems that to view the target’s t.i.tles and cla.s.s, my level must be close to the target.

“I don’t like the smell coming from that guy.”

Falan explicitly said.

“That’s probably because he’s a direct counter to your skills, right?”

“Hmph~ He’s nothing but a haughty b.a.s.t.a.r.d! Don’t worry, I will save you.”

“Don’t you think you’re a little energetic today?”

“I just want to use my Necromancy again. It’s been a long time since I last used it after all. ”

Falan shrugged, before following after the group.

Although I don’t have the ability to control my soul’s movements, however, when my body began to move, I felt that I was slowly floating along with it.

Not long after, I arrived at the academy’s specialized infirmary.

Although it is said to be an infirmary, but it is also a research facility for Priests. Even though healing magic could be used here, however, in certain situations, there’s a need to use various other medicine to cure the patient. After all, to heavily rely on healing magic is not good for the body.

Imagine that you were cut by someone, and you use healing magic to quickly close the wound, and you got cut again to be healed once again. It’s simply comparable to capital punishment.

After my body was placed on the bed, the old man ordered the bulky men to leave. He then walked to my side.

Oh my G.o.d, could this guy be h.o.m.o? What is he trying to do to my body!?

From the looks of his moving beard, he seemed to be saying something. However, I could not hear anything he was saying, d.a.m.n!

After a while, that guy finally finished talking. Is it true that as people grow older, they tend to more things to say?

That guy shook his head, turned and left the room.

His name slowly disappeared as he walked away from the room, and from his opposite direction, another name began to surface.

Undoubtedly, it was Falan.

“【Dead Silence】~”

After she entered a room, she cast a magic on the door, and walked over to my body.

“Alright, in this magical barrier, the people outside will not be able to feel the presence of my undead aura. Of course, I don’t have much time. It will only be in effect for 10 minutes, but it is more than enough.”

A black flame enveloped Falan’s entire body, and the black-robed Necromancer Kelany appeared in front of me.

“Mmm~ As I expected, it feels so comfortable to be around the dead~ Alright, let us b-e-g-i-n~”

Although it was the same smile as before, but the smile she had now was giving me a bad feeling.

Yep, this is too dangerous!
