Necromancer Academy’s Genius Summoner - Chapter 387

Necromancer School’s Summoning Genius Chapter 387

4th day car.

Simon climbed the hill where he had a good view of the surroundings today.

Carrying a spear made of minerals from the dungeon on his shoulder he sharply scanned the vast field. A group of monsters reminiscent of bison were active in the grass.

It was large in size the minerals that covered its body were brownish and its tail moved like a whip.

[Oh that’s too much.]

It was Hersheba’s impression. She became a cane and stood upright on top of Simon’s head.

[Little boy! Aren’t you going to catch all of them?]

“Yeah. Just catch one or two guys you need.”

[The guy you need?]

Simon nodded.

“Find the guy with the scars on his body.”

[Wounds wounds. He is a wounded man.]

Hersheba climbed higher. Simon looked down at his surroundings again.

The monsters in this dungeon do not eat each other and do not fight. There is no concept of territorial fights food fights or male competition for females.

Only one fight.

When it sees a being from outside the dungeon that is a human it frantically attacks and tries to eat it.

‘In other words having scars on the body means fighting outsiders. Because monsters don’t fight among themselves.’

Simon looked at the book in his hand. It was a book that came out of the belly of the monster I caught the other day.

‘Maybe I can get something like this again.’

[Little boy! I found it over there!]

Looking at the location Hersheba told me I see an object with scratches all over its body among the monsters. She even had something like a long spear stuck in the ore hide.

“Nice job! That’s it.”

Simon went down the hill raising a cloud of dust.

* * *

After figuring out the strategy hunting monsters became much easier.

After hitting the monster with a mineral weapon that was prepared in advance the ore on the surface was smashed and then a curse was applied to the exposed body or the body was torn apart with an overload.

And Hersheba.

[Kyaaah! Kyaaaaaaa!]

He was frantically running away attracting the attention of other herds of bison. Thanks to her performance Simon was able to safely hunt down one of the monsters she wanted.

“Laugh.”

The movement was disrupted with 2 stacks of ‘Thickness’ the curse of motion sickness but the monster was resisting by shaking its body violently.

Simon who was on top of it staggered and swayed until he found a spear stick stuck in his abdomen.

‘This is it!’

Wow!

I grabbed it with both hands and pulled it with all my might.

Whoa!

Blood gushed out and the spear was pulled out. The spear blade like Simon’s is made of mineral.

‘As expected it wasn’t something a Kizen student did.’

The windows are old and look old. Simon thought his own hypothesis was becoming more and more correct.

cooong!

Finally the monster collapsed unable to bear the motion sickness and blood loss.

Simon quickly sprayed a potion with a presence blocking effect on the monster’s body and dragged it to a safe place.

* * *

Crackle!

After such a successful hunt you can get meat and clues.

Perched on a steep hill Simon made a campfire and put some meat on a tree.

“Good job Hersheba.”

[it’s hard!!]

Simon soothed the whining woman and continued dismantling.

This time the camouflage contains a skeleton and various artifacts. There was also a book.

“Amazing Great!”

Simon laid out the spoils with a proud face.

A total of three books have already been obtained in this way.

Among the 647 students who tried to uncover the secrets of the dungeon it was a unique achievement.

[By the way kid.]

Hersheba who became a cane jumped up and wrote in front of the book.

[Why is this book on a monster’s body? And who wrote this?]

“There are two hypotheses.”

Simon spread his fingers.

“First. There were people who entered the dungeon before us. Second there were people who had been living in the dungeon from the beginning.”

[Anyway there was a person.]

“huh.”

They seem to have been annihilated by the monster’s attack. Still there are traces of his efforts to survive in this dungeon such as writing books and making weapons.

Simon opened the book. It was full of curly language and various picture materials.

[Can you read it?]

At Hersheba’s question Simon shook his head.

“It’s a language I’ve never seen before. But there are a lot of pictures so I can guess what it’s about.”

Simon decided to use this knowledge to create a new mineral weapon.

There was a special way to process minerals.

“like this.”

A chunk of raw mineral was placed on the floor. Then roughly sharp like a stone tool he placed it right near the edge and hit it hard with the same stone tool.

Caang!

A clear sound echoes.

After hitting the four corners like this a few times the ore splits thickly and becomes usable with a passeuk sound.

[Oh! There was a way like this!]

Now firmly insert the ore on the window sill pour the adhesive potion on it and let it dry.

It’s disposable but if you stab a monster with this you can inflict great damage by breaking the monster’s hard shell and piercing its flesh at the same time.

Simon thought as he made several bundles of spears.

‘Still there are too many unsolved mysteries.’

Monsters in dungeons do not eat them.

So the digestive system was extremely degenerated and the excretory system also disappeared. That’s why the skeletons and objects they ate remain in their stomachs.

But no matter how you think about it it’s strange that monsters that big don’t consume food.

A source of energy that can replace food intake. I had to figure out what it was.

‘And most of all the biggest problem is how to relate all these clues to the location of the dungeon owner.’

It’s the 4th day but I can’t get a clue about this dungeon. Simon lay down on the grass and looked through the books he had acquired earlier.

It was an encyclopedia depicting the animals and plants of the dungeon.

I couldn’t read the text so I flipped through the pages looking only at the pictures.

‘uh.’

and the last chapter.

humans came out

A picture of a human sitting cross-legged. Grass was growing all around him and on the floor a white hand was reaching out toward him.

‘This is something.’

Simon straightened up and sat down with a serious expression on his face.

‘It seems to have a symbolic meaning.’

* * *

Rock Island.

Keygen Auditorium.

“Hey! It’s already the 5th day of promotion evaluation!”

Conrad the moderator with thick dark circles under his eyes lifted up the papers.

He had a tired face but his voice sounded like a professional.

“There will be a brief interim review! It’s already the 5th day. How are the students? Professor Hong Feng!”

“It’s difficult.”

Hongfeng watched the video with his chin on his chin.

“I think clearing the dungeon will take longer than my rig. About one to two months.”

All the students had a clear goal of attacking the dungeon master but in the heinous environment the students were busy getting hit and run.

Because it was too difficult for him to survive it was becoming more like a dungeon survival evaluation rather than a dungeon raid.

“You’re going crazy.”

In the video the host shook his head as he saw a student whose teeth were coming out while chewing on minerals because he had nothing to eat.

“I think it’s going to be a real big deal! Especially if the exam lasts for more than a month or two as Professor Hongfeng said it’s terrible! I hope someone can defeat the dungeon lord as quickly as possible and finish the exam!”

Hongfeng also nodded.

“The most noteworthy thing is the academics that formed the party.”

Elisa Celine’s party of four.

And students like Dick and Jamie also completed a party of three.

They shared monster strategy with each other and obtained food through hunting. If you can afford to survive you will have room to pay more attention to finding the dungeon master.

“And… ah!”

In the video I saw a blue-haired boy turning over the pages of a book with a campfire lit.

His face was clean and he looked very well nourished.

Because Simon has strong vitality from living in a country estate for a long time unlike other students who suffer he maintains a stable life even in the dungeon.

“I’m even reading a book leisurely. What kind of book is that?”

the moderator asked.

At that moment Hongfeng’s eyes widened rapidly.

“… I’ll correct it.”

“yes?”

“Not the two months I mentioned earlier but two weeks.”

A satisfied smile crept across her lips.

“It all depends on that Jimon school.”

5th day car.

When Simon woke up he was startled.

Last night the entire hill near him disappeared. It was supposed to be a cover so I settled behind the hill but when I woke up I was surprised to see that the surroundings were empty.

And in the place where the hill used to be there is a large footprint.

When Simon followed the footsteps a super-large monster that looked almost the same as the hill earlier was crawling along.

“no way….”

Simon quickly took out an encyclopedia of flora and fauna and rummaged through it.

On the right page you can see a picture of a monster and on the left page you can see a picture of a plant. It passed insignificantly but now I can see the regularity.

All the monsters in this dungeon are—

‘!’

Simon felt a chill and looked back.

The moment I saw the tall trees I gasped and felt a sense of fear. The trees that can be seen just about anywhere have never been so terrifying.

‘…Yes plants and animals were all covered with minerals. Animals did not consume food and some plants had features such as eyes nose and mouth.’

As Simon secretly followed and observed the monsters he realized several important facts.

The monsters in this dungeon change into surrounding features and natural parts of the dungeon. like trees hills and rocks.

If you stick your body to the ground and crouch down the organic tissue changes and hardens into a specific entity whether it is a rock or a plant. Conversely there are cases where it becomes a plant and then returns to an animal again.

It was impossible with common sense on the continent but at least the monsters in this dungeon had that physiology.

‘…I’ll have to be careful.’

I also realized how the monsters in the dungeon get energy.

When they run out of energy they seem to turn into plants and recharge their energy through photosynthesis and other methods.

‘then.’

Charleuk!

Simon opened the last page of the encyclopedia. This picture of humans turning into plants not monsters. And the ‘white hand’ seen next to it.

‘What does this mean?’

I thought there was nothing wrong with trying this and that. Simon decided to give it a try.

I made a kind of ore clothes by connecting the ore to the rope put it on my body and sat cross-legged.

“Whoa.”

Then he took a deep breath and closed his eyes.

Closing your eyes and raising your concentration was Simon’s specialty.

It’s scary how long it will be.

‘…ah!’

I felt my mind wandering.

I was about to lose my mind. Reason had to be maintained somehow.

‘Concentrate concentrate.’

A few dozen minutes to hold on to the string of reason so hard.

cook.

A white thin extremity nerve that rose from the floor tried to connect to Simon’s body.

Simon pretended not to know. Eventually it realized that Simon was not a monster in the dungeon and ran away in a panic.

Simon opened his eyes.

‘You just contacted me for sure!’

This was the identity of the ‘white hand’ in the encyclopedia.

And Simon felt a lingering feeling all over his body.

Even after getting up I could see the direction in which the white nerve had retreated.

The corners of Simon’s mouth went up.

‘…found!’
