Necromancer Academy’s Genius Summoner - Chapter 1043
Necromancer School’s Summoning Genius Chapter 1043
As promised, Alita went to each of the village’s natives and asked them if they had seen any suspicious outsiders.
There were many reports, but the only story was about a fishing boat that stayed near the island for a while due to a storm and then left. There was no one suspected of being a member of the organization.
Above all, Simon couldn’t concentrate properly on the story.
“Alita you.”
Simon pointed to her body with a trembling fingertip. All kinds of geometric patterns were engraved on her body.
“That pattern is Vibron’s….”
“I guess you noticed.”
She said while playing with the end of her hair.
“I became a ‘tribute.’”
“!”
“I want to tell you in advance, it has nothing to do with bringing you here. “The elders and the chieftain have decided since last year.”
Simon narrowed his eyes and took a step forward.
“What is that tribute?”
“Human sacrifices appointed to welcome the gods when they come.”
Alita’s voice was calm.
“I’ve been eating the meat that God brought me, so this time I’ll just become the meat. Because that is ‘circulation.’”
Simon felt the blood in his whole body go cold.
I knew that the indigenous people of Choseung Island had unique beliefs and customs. They believed that gods would turn into birds or animals and bring them meat.
but.
-We too must be prepared to become meat and be eaten by God.
It feels like all the puzzle pieces have finally come together.
Why young people have become the main force of the village. Why there are no old people. The reason why older people are criticized and pointed instead of respected.
It’s obvious why. If it is a cycle in which people become meat as much as they eat the meat provided by God, then those who survive long enough are treated as cowards and cowards because they did not fulfill their duty.
Why was such a terrible culture created? It was clear to me with just a little thought.
Fear of Behemoth.
Behemoths regularly invade this island and devastate the surrounding area. Many villagers must have died or been eaten. The island’s ecosystem is excellent and there is plenty to eat around, but there is a reason why the population is so small.
Additionally, they are closed off and do not try to leave the island.
In order to continue living on this island, where man-eating behemoths visit every year, they need to make their misfortune natural and justifiable.
Such efforts would eventually have come down to us in the form of our current customs and customs. Rather than trying to overcome their fear of Behemoth, they decided to obey their fear. By worshiping Behemoth, who is nothing more than a monster, as a god, and labeling the act of being eaten by them as ‘circulation’.
Simon was furious.
“There is no need to follow such customs, Alita!”
“…I thought you had an open mind, but now you seem to be antipathetic.”
“of course!”
Simon grabbed her shoulder suddenly.
“A tribute means that I will die for you!”
“It’s natural for us.”
She lowered her head.
“Mom and Dad also passed away many years ago as tribute. “The village was maintained thanks to the sacrifices of many people to the gods, and now it’s just my turn.”
Simon, who was trying to raise his voice in frustration and pain, soon lowered his head as if he was being dragged down.
The environment we live in is different. Common sense is different.
Trying to force this common sense will only arouse Alita’s resistance. But it is necessary to consider the reason. Simon said in a cold voice.
“…Who created this tribute system? “Is that guy called Vibron?”
“I told you. “It has nothing to do with the chief.”
I felt like it was never related. The only way to end this horrible thing is for the residents to leave this island.
However, there is a reason why the residents must remain on this island, cut off from the outside world. Is it simply because they have a closed nature? No, there must be someone who caused that to happen.
“Let’s go to the villa where I’m staying. “My colleagues will protect you.”
Simon suggested and Alita shook her head.
“No, I have to go back to the village. The reason I met you was to fulfill my final duty as a ‘pledger of inclusiveness.’ Since I told you the news about the association, I have an obligation to see you in the future…”
“I’ll ask you one more thing.”
Simon tightened his eyes.
“Do you really think you wouldn’t have any regrets if you ended your life like this by being eaten by a monster?”
“My feelings don’t matter. “It’s a cycle and it’s a duty that must be done.”
“It doesn’t matter.”
Simon put his hand on her shoulder.
“When it comes to deciding whether to live or die, nothing should take precedence over your own feelings. If you want to live, just live.”
“Such a simple problem…!”
“There is nothing wrong with wanting to live, Alita.”
She paused, as if speechless. Simon made eye contact with her with a serious face.
Necromancers are known to despise life, but that is a wrong prejudice. By researching and studying death, I am more aware of the value of life.
“Survival is a desire more intense and noble than anything else. The reason you were born is not to die. “You can ask for life a little more proudly.”
There was no need for an answer.
I could tell for sure by looking at her expression that she looked like she was going to cry at any moment. She wanted to live more.
“I will find and defeat the Behemoth as well as those who cast darkness over your village. wait a munite.”
chuck.
Simon opened subspace.
“Me and Prince.”
Next, he took out a zombie and called Prince. A black thunderbolt fell and the zombie transformed into a child wearing a crown.
[I finally called you! It’s my turn, right?]
Simon quickly spoke after lightly shaking hands with Prince.
“Take Alita and return to the villa where Kizen is staying. “You can find it by looking at this map.”
[okay! What are you going to do?]
Prince asked, lightly carrying Alita.
Next, Simon, wearing the original armor and carrying the Great Sword of Destruction, spoke while carrying the Great Sword of Destruction on his shoulder.
“We will find Vibron. “If conversation doesn’t work, this is the time to settle the matter.”
“no! Simon!”
Alita shouted.
“The Chief is a living ‘human god’! You don’t know the divine power he wields! “No one can win!”
“I know very well that he has unfathomable abilities. But a clumsy chieftain who can’t even protect his own people and offers them as tribute.”
It shot out, bending Simon’s knees.
“You can’t beat me.”
* * *
Simon immediately entered the natives’ village.
The village was quiet and there were no people wandering outside the houses. Not all of the villagers had gone out to hunt, so Simon walked quietly, making no sound of footsteps.
-Is there anyone at home? Where did your eldest sister go?
Just then, I heard a voice inside the house.
Simon stopped and listened to the door.
-I went to see the chief off on his way back to the divine world. Everyone will be there.
Simon’s eyes widened when he heard those words.
New Territories.
It wasn’t the first time I heard that. Simon, whose heart was pounding again, immediately ran over and opened the door.
“excuse me!”
They were startled at first, but soon recognized him as a ‘pledger of tolerance’ brought by Alita. Simon asked where the villagers had gone to meet the chief, and the villagers answered without much doubt.
After hearing the destination, Simon ran at full speed.
It wasn’t that far away. The tree trunk went all the way through the village and went into the deepest part.
Buzz, buzz, buzz!
I could hear people talking. There, you can see people lying face down, people with their heads bowed, and other people.
It was here that Simon witnessed.
‘This!’
The color drained from Simon’s face.
The entrance to the new world that residents speak of.
It’s none other than that.
‘Portal of Death!’
The door to the divine world was that portal. Simon shouted, jumping onto the pitch black.
“Vibron!”
however.
The portal closed before Simon’s eyes, and Simon passed through empty space and landed on the floor. Simon, who slowed down and kicked up dust with his feet on the ground, gritted his teeth.
‘Am I a step too late!’
When the residents saw Simon’s appearance, they raised their heads one by one. He seemed wary because he had fought Vibron once before.
But it was not the time for Simon to care about their gaze. My head was full of anger.
‘As expected, Vibron was a dead end. ‘He moved the natives with his power for some purpose.’
Behemoth is coming.
The situation predicted by Arak Murad will soon occur.
“What happened? A pledge of tolerance. “No one can go to the God Realm except to a god like you.”
A woman walked out speaking Continental. Simon looked at her and said:
“There is an important story that involves the fate of the village. “Who is the next highest person after the Chief?”
“After the chief, all village residents are equal, but…”
The woman thought for a moment and then said.
“It would be Alita now. The villager who became the ‘tribute’ is treated as the biggest adult in the village. Until that day comes.”
‘ah!’
It seems that the person selected as a tribute is treated well before being eaten by the Behemoth.
Then I had to use this discipline right away.
Simon planned to get the people out of here under Alita’s orders and then send them to a relatively safe villa where Kizen’s barrier is located.
Simon, who was thinking about many things, suddenly noticed something and pointed to the side.
“What is that empty space over there?”
Here was the body of the unbreakable tree. The base of the tree was hollow and round. said the woman.
“This is where the village’s treasures were.”
“Treasure?”
“yes.”
The woman nodded.
“Just yesterday, the Chief took it to the Divine Realm.”
* * *
“….”
Vibron, who came through the portal, entered a new place and sat on the floor.
A dark, damp underground place that smells of mold.
Vibron was thinking about what had just happened.
– Vibron!
The sight of a man rushing into the village and shouting his name as soon as he entered the portal.
“Simon Pollentia, commander of the 7th Corps, a mortal enemy.”
He stroked his chin in satisfaction.
“But there’s nothing we can do about it this time.”
Floating in the air next to him was a huge red orb. It was emitting dark energy in all directions.
At that time, a sound was heard from the communication crystal ball on the floor. As Vibron picked it up and activated it, a cold voice rang out.
-What about the items?
A question to ask right away.
But Vibron smiled and answered.
“Recovered. It is now in Olkhera, a satellite city next to Orjava. “The destruction will begin from Olkera.”
A moment later, a voice continued from the crystal sphere.
-The elder was also pleased with the capabilities you showed. Again, Arakmurad’s seat is empty.
“I have no interest in the ‘equal salvation’ he wanted.”
He blurted out.
“What I want is salvation from destruction.”
-…If this work is completed successfully, I will inform the elders and create a new seat of salvation, not Arak Murad’s representative.
“Of course I should.”
– But be careful.
“?”
A heavy voice rang out.
-Kizen captured and interrogated a subordinate organization. Information leaked out.
Quaaaang!
No sooner had those words ended.
The sound of a door being smashed was heard from directly above the basement.
“It’s Kizen!”
“I know you’re here! “Come out obediently!”
The footsteps of summoned beasts could be heard overhead, accompanied by noisy voices.
“You’re dealing with trash. You guys always do that.”
Vibron spat like that, grabbed the communication crystal ball, crushed it, and stood up.
“We have a guest, so let’s go greet them.”
