75.2 Invitation to Abyss

Eh!?

I blinked twice upon hearing that, with an obvious dumbfounded look on my face. Are you, a big sinner, wanted and hunted by the Holy religion since more than a hundred years ago seriously saying that!?

See, you made that kind of face immediately.

Enma pursed her lips as if she didn't want to see my reaction.

And your reaction is the general reaction of the masses that caused the misunderstanding about the undead. We, you see, are pacifists. I've told you about my dream before, right?

Paradise consists of only the undead.

Indeed. I really mean it when I say that all humans should become undead, my noble goal is to create paradise. I want everyone to spend their time in peace.

Save for the fact that no living creature in your Everyone.

To achieve that, we have to make the undead's status recognized by the demon kingdom, thus, leaving us with no choice but to fight for the demon kingdom. The problem is, should I only share this paradise among my kins, or keep offering it to the entire area of the alliance? It's a tough choice. Nothing beats the eternal paradise that is gained without war after all.

Enma who spoke swiftly then heaved a sigh, looking like a tired person despite being an undead.

But, I have to move on my own. We have to show our value. In that way, His Majesty the Demon King will value the undead. Alas, this value is useless.

Enma shrugged her shoulders.

The more we show our value. The more we're regarded as weapons, and the more dangerous we become. We undead are nothing more than soldiers. Is this a wrong evaluation? Even after we did our best, our goal became further and further away.I just want to live in peace with everyone.

Enma then looked at me.

We, undead with our own will, are trapped in this vicious cycle. It doesn't really matter even if we are regarded as mere soldiers. But, in the near future, when the demon kingdom finally defeats the alliance Do you think the demon kingdom is still going to appreciate our service?

Her artificial eyes gazed into mine.

Unnecessary things are going to be kicked out like the ogre or goblin?

Silence descended into the garden as soon as those words left my mouth.

I was completely at a loss for words They, The Undeads With Ego, had a point. Their fear was justified too.

Undead such as skeleton horses have played a big role in transportation. That's why I think the racism toward the undead has to be ended even after the war has ended.

The low-rank undead-like skeleton aside. What about intelligent undead like me? Well, I might be alright. They might spare me as the craftsman who created low-rank undead. But what do you think is gonna happen if I'm a bad and unruly person?

That was a huge problem indeed, and Enma had yet to be done.

When His Majesty the Demon King gave his order, I've no way to refuse.

But There's a regular meeting, right? Something that was attended by the big shots of Demon Kingdom. You should be able to plead to my father at that opportunity.

Correct, that's an opportunity for me to speak about the treatment of my people alas, His Majesty is a ruler, not my ally.

I could finally start to guess what Enma's aim was this time.

So the reason you want to become my ally is To raise the status of undead in the Demon Kingdom.

I was the only one with pure darkness attribute among my siblings. And a prince on top of that.

I won't go that far for the time being.

Alas, Enma denies it herself.

I'm not shameless and impudent enough to go that far at this point. But, I'll be happy if you did that and I will spare no effort to make that happen.

Enma looked at me as the corner of her lips curled up into a smile.

Jil-kun, do you know what separates the undead and the living?

The living Will die?

You're half correct. To be exact, whether they knew death or not. The one thing that separates us is lack of understanding.

I shut my mouth. I wouldn't tell her that I, understood death

And that lack of understanding gives birth to conflict and dispute. We're scared because they can't understand us, we're hated because they can't understand us, that's why We were ostracized. I wanted to avoid such a sorrowful future. That's why I want to achieve a mutual understanding

Enma stretched her hand and touched mine.

I want you to understand us. I know that the undead have a natural instinct to attack living creatures. But, undead with egos can control their instinct. Different from the ferocious demon beast, you can communicate with the undead. That's why we're a literal lump of potential. And I'm sure that we can become good neighbors.

It seems my hand twitched lightly upon feeling the cold touch on my hand.

And then, we can walk together, hand in hand That'll be the best situation. That's why I want you To learn necromancy.

That sounds like extremely sincere words.

Enma I know very well about what you want.

Lack of understanding gave birth to conflict. That's why you approached someone without prejudice, a demon prince who could become your ally.

That was a correct and justified move.

Alas, you chose the wrong person.

You choose me of all people.

But Let's set that aside for now.

I understand.

I grasped Enma's hand. The hand of humanity's greatest sinner, and enemy.

I still can't give you any promise right now. But, please teach me necromancy So that I have a better understanding.

I'll be your ally for the time being.

I will keep doing so even if my final answer has already been decided!

Of course! Thank you, Jil-kun!

Enma's face revealed a smile as she embraced me. It seems she used perfume with a refreshing fragrance to hide the putrid smell of the undead.

Upon a closer look, Sofia was obviously interested Since this was the chance to gain new knowledge about necromancy with my connection While Lyla was showing a meek face. It was as if she said that the undead had their own reason for becoming undead.

Honestly, I felt sorry, and a bit envious of her naivety. How could someone who grew up under the tyranny of those cruel black dragons grow into such a good girl?

So, when will we start?

I'll match your schedule. I can teach you now, tomorrow, or a few days later. Your time is finite alas, mine is infinite.

Enma flickered her hands as she told me that she could start teaching me necromancy anytime I want.

I see, I'll inform you later Necromancy, is it? I really can't get the picture of it.

I had to be careful so that my wry smile didn't turn into a real bitter smile.

I, of all people Necromancy, is it?

Are you referring to THAT? Something like resurrecting the deceased from the afterlife?

I asked jokingly to hide the gloomy feeling in my heart.

Aah, you're one of those who believed in the resting place for the deceased.

Enma revealed a frightening smile.

Let me tell you one thing. The afterlife doesn't exist.
