Surviving as a Con Artist at the Academy Chapter 272

Episode 272. The Final Finish

The curse that has been tormenting me has finally been lifted.

“Ah, ah, the Liar’s Curse.”

“Huh? Can you speak properly?”

“Mom! Dad, I’m finally free!”

Our family, who confirmed that the curse had been lifted, cheered loudly like independence fighters who had regained their country.

It’s a good thing for them too, because the threat to their lives from the curse is gone.

And the reason they were cursed was none other than Machia.

This wouldn’t have happened if the guy hadn’t passed the curse on to his family, excluding himself.

Of course, thanks to that curse, he was able to gradually become stronger starting with the Fantasy Sword Technique, but that is separate from his sins.

“Please save me!”

“Don’t do this! We don’t want to die yet!”

Finally, the guys showed their true colors.

Machia and Harkel just sobbed, not knowing what they had done wrong.

“Well, I said you won’t die? You’ll become immortal.”

Didn’t you understand what I said?

To be honest, I did threaten, but I never said I would kill him.

It seems that he just instinctively felt that his safety was threatened and cringed.

“Father, immortal?”

“Yeah, don’t you know about immortality? That’s the secret to how that guy Lyman has lived for 300 years.”

I pointed to the cursed orb floating in the air.

It included not only our Liar’s frequent but also Lyman’s immortal curse.

If we tie them up in one place and they stick to us, we’ll get all the curses we’ve been getting at once.

“Aren’t you jealous of the immortal body?”

“that….”

“I’m jealous, but… you have to receive all the other curses on top of that!”

Still, it seemed like he understood what I said earlier.

My head works well in this area.

Of course, that’s all.

“It’s okay. As long as you don’t die, you’re not defeated. You can always start over, right?”

“Me, really?”

“Of course, I don’t know when that will be.”

You won’t die because of the curse, but you will suffer endless pain because of it.

Because it’s a confined dimension, you can’t ask anyone for help.

You’ll just experience hell for the rest of your life in a space just for the two of you.

If that takes tens or hundreds of years, thinking will come to a halt.

“Cha, Chariri, can you kill me? Okay? I don’t mind if you torture me. I don’t mind if I’m embarrassed in front of everyone….”

Makia, who cries and begs me, saying that she wants to die somehow.

It was his intention to avoid becoming immortal, to the point where he was willing to die in as much pain as possible.

I know very well what the intention is.

“Well, you probably want to die. After all, if you die, you can come back to life.”

“what…?”

“Did you really think I didn’t know?”

A special privilege that allows one to re-exit a body and possess another body even after death.

In that way, the guy was resurrected to the present world with the body of an emperor.

The condition for that bond is a body of the same blood, and the target is our Crowler family.

We can’t give him our bodies.

“Therefore, I’m going to take away your astral projection privilege.”

“how….”

“Oh, I forgot to mention that when our curse is lifted, your privileges will be lifted as well.”

“What? Hey hey hey!!”

The moment he began to question, something escaped from inside Makia’s body.

Just like the cursed sphere, it was a gray sphere, and that was the special ability that Machia possessed.

“No! This is my chance to reincarnate!!”

Machia tried to reclaim the privilege that had escaped from her body.

I stretched out my hand as if struggling, but… .

Kwakjik!-

Lyman cut the special in half with a slash of his hand that had strange power.

“Ah…, no…!!”

The privilege that lost its form simply disappeared beyond the space of the archive.

Makia screamed with her eyes rolled back at the sight of it being turned to dust.

“This is a baby!”

“….”

“The child of a prostitute like a dog !!”

Machia loses her mind and runs towards Lyman.

Lyman, oblivious to his monstrous appearance, dodged the man’s punch and stuck a finger into his chest.

“Kuhuhuhuhuhu!”

It wasn’t an ordinary finger-pointing.

It wasn’t even a finger pointing like Jigun.

It was an acupuncture technique that completely paralyzed the blood vessels and completely erased the opponent’s magical power.

Not only will this mean you won’t be able to use magic power again, but the moment you try to move even a little bit…

“Kuaaaah!!”

As you can see, he is writhing in pain, spitting blood out of his mouth.

This is why, if you treat Lyman as an enemy without caution, it would be worse than death.

“And the same goes for you.”

cook!-

“Eww!!”

He then stabs Harkel in the chest, causing him to become in the same condition.

As a result, the two became unable to move for the rest of their lives except to speak.

There is no room for sympathy since they are both accomplices from the beginning.

“These kids…!”

“Looking at it this way, isn’t it quite pitiful?”

Honestly, I thought it was too much.

So I spoke to him as if I was just testing him out.

“Don’t you have any intention of apologizing even now?”

“what?”

“Why do we have to do that!”

His temperament is really consistent.

I knew this would happen, so I prepared something in advance.

When I took out some crystal balls, they both tried to figure out what it was.

“that…!”

“Video communication magic tool?”

“This bead is connected to the entire empire. This means that your appearance is currently being broadcasted to the entire empire.”

The whole nation is watching Harkel and Machia.

Of course, their reaction goes without saying.

As he is the mastermind behind the Demon Clan War and the Demon King who acts as the emperor, there is no such thing as sympathy.

“If you sincerely apologize, I will consider placing a curse on you.”

“Is that true…?”

“And I sincerely apologize to these guys.”

The apology was not only for the people.

Lyman and Mirona were also included, who suffered great damage because of the guys.

Harkel and Machia, who saw the two, fell into a state of surveillance.

Why should I apologize to those people?

It’s those guys who are bad, you know.

but….

“Okay. I apologize.”

For now, we have no choice but to follow.

After apologizing, wait for another opportunity.

The two of them smiled wickedly to themselves and bowed deeply.

“I’m so sorry! I have sinned greatly against your mother!”

“I’m really sorry too! Because of my selfishness, I caused something like a war among the demons.”

They knew full well what they were doing.

Knowing something is bad but pretending not to know is close to being a sociopath.

Usually, these guys’ apologies are only superficial.

As evidence… .

[X]

“Huh?”

“What is this?”

Suddenly an X appeared before their eyes.

And there was something stuck to the guys’ palms.

What on earth is this? When did it come out? I said to those who had these questions.

“Have you heard of True Mail?”

“True Mail?”

“It’s a lie detector. Basically, it just revealed that your apology was a lie.”

I’ve used it once before.

Was that the first time I tested the fishing rod?

Thinking about it now, it feels kind of sweet.

“W, when on earth did this happen….”

“You shouldn’t underestimate this guy’s quick wit, right?”

The movements of Lyman, the world’s strongest man, cannot be tracked by anyone.

Just like the last time you saved me and the Shinsoos from the explosion, you instantly attached True Mail to their hands.

The movement goes unnoticed by anyone.

I said with a laugh that their lies had been exposed.

“So that apology you just made was a joke?”

“Wait a minute! I’ve never heard of anything like this!”

“I’ll do it again! Please…!”

It’s already too late.

It’s already been broadcast nationwide, from the guys apologizing to the X appearing.

All the sincere apologies were lies.

It’s obvious how citizens will react when they see that.

After all, trash is trash. And trash that can’t be recycled.

To those guys I said:

“No. I have no intention of changing it. Just give up.”

In the end, he lied until the end and ended up ruined by his lies.

They looked up at me with blank stares.

These are the people who have believed only in the power of authority and have used force against innocent people.

The victim’s mind is incapable of empathizing, but tends to scream when the same thing happens to them.

Didn’t you know it would turn out like this?

“Open your mouth. It goes in often.”

“Eww!!”

“Eek!!”

The curse that came out of our bodies is absorbed into their bodies.

The ominous aura makes the guys scream and thrash around ugly.

The curse was shared equally between the two. They shared it equally and absorbed it, so they both have the same curse.

“Keuk…, save me….”

“Save me…!”

The first curse has already been manifested.

The death curse that was placed on Mirona.

Any target caught in the spell dies unconditionally.

“Please loosen up this ■week….”

“That…, a lie…. I have to confess the lie….”

This time, it was the Liar’s Curse that hit me and my family.

He simply received the curse that was originally supposed to be given to Machia.

“Kill me….”

“That’s impossible. You are already immortal.”

This time, it’s Lyman’s immortality curse.

Now everything is ready.

“Okay, customers. It’s time to go on a trip to hell.”

Lyman recalled the two guys with his telekinesis magic and pushed them into the other side of the split dimension.

Like balloons blowing in the wind, the two flew across the dimension without any resistance.

As we walked, I started to see tears in the guys’ eyes.

Now it seems like I regret it… .

“Goodbye. I don’t know when the next life will come.”

Hell has already begun.

I can’t move and I can’t die.

You will have to feel only pain for the rest of your life.

And then I reminisce about the past and regret it.

That is ‘hell’.

And then the gates of hell finally closed.

“are you okay?”

“I’m okay.”

When Lyman asked Mirona, Mirona answered as if nothing had happened.

Even though he was trash, in the end, Makia was a father.

However, I wasn’t sad at all about breaking up with him.

“How did I end up being born from a person like that? Twice.”

“….”

That was also quite a strange thing.

But there is no need to worry about bloodlines anymore.

Because now she’s going to live with someone who’s truly precious to her.

So now I can live a normal life.

“radon.”

My father, Lotus, calls me.

I smiled and said to him, whose face was a mixture of emotions.

“There’s no need to lie anymore.”

“I’m finally free from the curse.”

He suddenly hugged me.

They couldn’t help but be overjoyed, as the curse that had plagued the Crowler family for so many years had been lifted.

I could feel it for the first time as I was hugged by him.

Something I, an orphan my entire life, could never feel.

I’m talking about paternal love.

“Thank you so much, Radon.”

“Oppa, you’re really the best!”

Then my mother, Scylla, and my younger sister, Amy, also cling to me.

Some families destroy family registers because of behavior that offends the family.

Actually, Mirona is someone who has experienced it.

But a real family means people who understand each other’s hearts.

Just like the people in front of me right now.

-Drrrrr.

Finally, when all the rituals were over, the door to the archive space was opening.

Besides that, people I’ve met in this world so far have gathered here.

Jenny, Ruska, Mary, and Nevia greeted me as if they were inviting me to come in.

Professor Radian and Professor Stella also welcomed us.

Angela and Gerard also looked at us with good expressions.

“It worked out well.”

I came out of the archive space and greeted them with a good expression.

It was a golden spectacle created by human beings.

It was finally the beginning of a peaceful bachelor’s life.
