Necromancer Academy’s Genius Summoner

Necromancer School’s Summoning Genius Chapter 987:

A wooden castle towering above the land floating in the air.

And even the red moon visible behind it.

The memory of the fierce fight with Magnus was still vivid in my mind. This place was none other than ‘Shadow Castle’.

I crawled out of Alaje Island.

[A familiar place. The 5th Legion’s hideout. Arrival at Shadow Castle.]

“I don’t understand this a bit.”

Simon squatted down with a slightly panicked expression.

“Why is the Shadow Castle stored on Mur’s ship?”

From Simon’s perspective, it was bound to be shocking.

It would have been easier to understand if it had been said that Mur had joined hands with the Order, but Magnus’ stronghold was revealed. Were Magnus and Mur in a cooperative relationship?

I suddenly heard a strong negative feeling that it couldn’t be like that. Magnus is the embodiment of greed, turning his eyes to the sight of the Ancient Undead. I wondered if it was possible for the two to have such a relationship unless Mur had joined the 5th Legion.

‘…No, I can’t say for sure. If you think about it, Mur may have joined hands with Magnus and provided information to eliminate me.’

Magnus possessed a variety of information, including the Prince’s corpse explosion and the absorption ability of the Great Sword of Destruction. It is not an entirely unlikely guess.

Simon quickly turned his head.

“Alaze, have you ever seen Mur here?”

[Check records.]

Alaze remained silent for a moment and then spoke.

[No memory. Magnus has never brought up Mur’s name. An ancient undead I have never encountered.]

‘Hmm.’

There were doubts, but it was already done. Magnus died and the 5th Legion was disbanded.

Simon had too much work to do right now to think about these questions.

“okay. “Since we’re here, let’s take care of what we need first.”

Simon said, getting up from his seat.

“At that time, I was in such a hurry to get out that I didn’t have time to do anything.”

After defeating Magnus, Simon became the owner of the Shadow Castle by absorbing the Dungeon Master sealed in the Shadow Castle with the Great Sword of Destruction.

Simon asked how Magnus used the shadow nature, and Alaze answered in detail.

To put it more fundamentally, the shadow castle is a ‘dungeon.’

The dungeon is connected to the continent, and this shadow castle was also able to create a passage connecting to the continent.

[A passage can be formed by artificially causing an abnormal phenomenon. Not allowed inside the shadow castle. It is possible if you have the power of a dungeon master outside of the Shadow Castle.]

“Really?”

The conditions were a bit tricky.

It had to be a place with water and, as the name suggests, a shady place. The mana in the atmosphere had to fluctuate extremely at a certain temperature.

It was said that after creating the conditions, the passage could be opened by using the dungeon owner’s power. Magnus himself cut off the dungeon master’s arm and carried it around.

“I don’t have the Great Sword of Destruction right now, so I’ll have to test it later.”

This dungeon also has loot.

Even so, the very large sub-space given by Nephthys was too small to contain the entire 7th Legion, but this is quite a large piece of real estate.

Simon looked around, learned the operating principles of the dungeon, and even collected other remnants of the dungeon. I was thinking about using this place as my home base once I felt it was safe.

“Then shall we go to the fourth location?”

Simon returned to Mur’s battleship and sat down. Alaze followed suit and spoke while operating the ship.

[Check the problem.]

“?”

[This battleship has unique biofuel. Consume less biofuel when moving to lakes and grasslands. A view that made it possible to travel 5 times. However, the moment we crossed over into the shadow castle. Consuming a large amount of fuel.]

Alaze wriggled and explained.

[You can move to the 4th location in Shadow Castle. However, there are concerns about failure to return.]

“So, you’re saying we have to think about the fuel that runs?”

Simon thought deeply for a moment and nodded.

“Okay, let’s go back to Frost Field, our original starting point. “Can we make that fuel again?”

[Alazeh’s alter ego. Analyzing fuel composition. The outlook for mass production is bright.]

“Good.”

I decided not to push myself too hard right now.

Simon sat down and stuck the tentacle into his body.

“Let’s go back.”

***

Simon returned to Frost Field safely.

If Mur’s battleship could travel through space, I was planning to use it for this Shahed task, but unfortunately, it seemed best for this battleship to only move to recorded locations.

So Simon returned to Rock Island again using the teleportation magic circle. Peer must have gathered the other Ancient Undead by now.

Just as Simon passed through the Forbidden Forest and arrived at the ruins of Peer.

“?”

I saw a person sitting at the entrance to the ruins.

Simon hid behind a tree and then stuck his head out to check on the other person.

He was wearing a Kizen school uniform.

‘Who is it? It must still be vacation.’

Just as I was thinking about that, I noticed his gray hair and his unique wolf-like posture of sitting astride and looking at the moon.

Simon, relieved to finally know who it was, smiled slightly, then appeared and said.

“Kazan!”

A member of the Thieves Guild and a helper to Nephthys and Simon.

It was Kazan Edwald.

He turned his head and, out of habit, scratched the wound under his eye.

“Are you here, Simon?”

“long time no see! “Nephthys sent you, right?”

Kazan nodded and came down with a swift movement.

“I have been instructed to brief you on the Shahed incident.”

“Let’s go inside together and talk! “Other undead will also be waiting below.”

Kazan also agreed to Simon’s suggestion. Together, the two went down the stairs toward the depths of the ruins.

“I heard the general story.”

Kazan hinted.

“Nephthys said that if the Shahed incident goes well, she plans to reveal to the world that you are the commander of the 7th Legion.”

“yes.”

“It could be a harsh ordeal.”

He stroked between his eyebrows.

“Everything you built in Keygen may be shaken.”

“….”

I was determined.

Simon is now the official student council president. He receives strong support from almost all students, regardless of whether they are 3rd or 2nd years, and even the Top 10, who had become self-indulgent after experiencing a series of incidents, now follow Simon.

Professors, teaching assistants, classmates, and juniors. Many people like Simon.

However, if he reveals that he is the commander of the 7th Corps, his future life will inevitably be distorted somewhere. There will certainly be cases where someone close to you was sacrificed due to the Legion of Betrayal incident. A once good relationship may suddenly become awkward.

“…It might be easier not to reveal your identity.”

You can graduate comfortably while enjoying the foundation and connections you have built as student council president.

Since Simon is also human, it is also true that he has a desire to finish the last year without any conflict without incurring anyone’s hatred and anger.

but.

“It’s something that had to be revealed at some point. “The 7th Legion is my roots and I cannot deny it.”

A determined light appeared in Simon’s eyes.

“Some people might be disappointed at first. But I believe that in the remaining time, you will definitely understand my sincerity.”

Kazan walked silently and then opened his mouth.

“I learned that you were the commander of the 7th Corps since the beginning of first year.”

“Oh, that’s right. “I’ve known Kazan for a very long time.”

“It’s not like there were any preconceptions about me. But while watching your performance, I felt a lot about you as a person, not just a legion of betrayers.”

He turned his head.

“It’s just a matter of time. As you said, I think others will eventually acknowledge you too. “If there is anything I can help with, I will help.”

“yes! Thank you, Kazan!”

I felt like I was very lucky to have a strong helper like Kazan by my side.

As he was a paid student, all of his original classmates graduated, but Simon felt very reassured by the fact that he remained at Kizen and was by his side.

We have now reached the depths of Peer’s ruins. As Simon instructed, Manager Peer had summoned all the captains of the corps.

Erzsebet, the leader of the spider unit.

Prince, the leader of the zombie army.

Hersheba, the leader of the mummy unit.

Although not yet an official ‘captain’, young Lamia leads the Dead Naga.

And even though he couldn’t participate because he couldn’t easily get out of the Frost Field, the crow of the North God, Gyros, came to hear the explanation.

It would have been nice if Mirmiz, the strongest corner of the room, had participated in this event, but he was still confined to the corner of the room in subspace, saying it was a ‘violation of contract’. Simone had once agreed to ‘vacation during the school holidays’ in exchange for lending her strength during the decisive battle with Magnus.

So Simon sat down and exchanged friendly greetings with the ancient undead he met again.

“Hello, Erzsebet.”

[Corps Commander! I missed you!] As

Simon took his seat, the other captains also approached. Erzsebet naturally laid down with her head on Simon’s lap, and the Prince came to the other side and lightly shook hands with Simon. Little Lamia said, ‘Beep!’ It made a sound and settled on Simon’s head.

“I bought it because it looked fun when I went over there to Prince.”

Simon threw the spring toy he had bought when he went to the Holy Federation. Prince grabbed it and jumped up and down, loving it.

Simon asked, looking around.

“What about Fear Brute?”

[Hehehe!]

Brutes are swarmer-type undead that have the characteristic of being infinitely separated.

Separated swarmers fight endlessly to determine their true selves. At first, they just left the ruins to fight, but the battle became more and more intense and the entire ruins of Peer were on the verge of collapsing.

So Peer went out of his way to lock everyone in the room. We were now almost sealed in a small room.

Simon clapped his hands after hearing the story.

“I happen to be on my way back from the Shadow Castle, right? “For the time being, let’s release the Brutes there and let them fight.”

[Hehehe! Very good!]

All of a sudden, there was an atmosphere of a uniting party between corps members. And one person standing quietly behind.

[…Why did you bring me here?]

It was a zombie butler who was tightly tied in a seal chain.

Simon, who threw the ball to Prince, smiled.

“not a big deal. “Everyone is here, but if you leave me alone in the basement, it feels like I’m being left out.”

[It’s pointless. If you think that I will join the 7th Legion because of this…]

Bang!

The ball Prince kicked bounced once against the cave wall and hit the zombie butler’s face with bad timing. Erzsebet laughed loudly.

“….”

And there is one person standing in front watching the antics of the Ancient Undead.

It was Kazan.

Simon also came to his senses belatedly and spoke.

“I’m sorry, Kazan. “This is everyday life.”

“I think not just anyone can become a corps leader.”

Now that the cleanup was over, Simon stood up and explained the instructions for the 7th Corps going forward.

The 7th Legion will go to the Shahed Kingdom to take charge of this situation, and will then receive approval from Nephthys and operate as an official corps.

Surprisingly, the other Ancient Undead except Peer reacted in the same way. From Simon’s perspective, it was a catastrophe, but as undead, they had little interest in how other humans treated them.

[The girl is happy with anything as long as the corps commander is there.]

Erzebet said, clinging closer to Simon.

That’s how the story ended and Kazan’s explanation finally began.

“Of course, it is not an easy task.”

Kazan put up a large current picture of Yeongji on the wall.

“This is a situation where the king and queen of a country are caught up in a desperate struggle. “So far, no one on the continent has solved it.”

Kazan’s eyes became serious as he tapped the photo with the back of his hand.

“If the 7th Legion resolves this matter, it will undoubtedly be a big disruption.”

Simon adjusted his posture and sat down.

This is definitely an opportunity.

“Of course we have to solve it. Please explain in detail what the situation is.”S
