Necromancer Academy’s Genius Summoner - Chapter 823
Necromancer School’s Summoning Genius Chapter 823
It is said that the blood myo tribe can see a short future with foreknowledge.
Then what about Elysia?
-I’ll bet my victory on you.
Why did you leave these things to me instead of avoiding the attack?
“Simon!”
Hearing the call to himself Simon suddenly came to his senses. The sound around him which had been deafening was added with liveliness and the hot heat stabbed his lungs.
“What are you doing? Wake up!”
Cindy was shouting while continuously firing necromantic magic.
When I opened my eyes my vision was reversed and I saw her face. Next to him Dick was throwing things around and Malcolm kept raising his doppelganger.
And they are dealing with lava monsters that are infested.
Immediately after Elysia was eliminated due to the attack at ‘Volcanic Castle’ as soon as Simon and his party crossed the stone bridge hundreds of lava monsters attacked.
As if they were waiting for this side to cross the magma they surrounded them all at once and blocked their retreat.
And Simon took the lead in breaking through the siege and was shocked by something. I even remember the dust blocking my vision but it seemed like I had lost my mind in the blink of an eye.
“Hey Simon! Are you okay?”
Dick held out his hand. Simon grabbed his hand and stood up at once.
“What happened?”
“A lava meteor fell from the sky right next to you. Bad luck.”
Looking where Dick pointed he saw a large pit dug in the floor.
To say he couldn’t avoid this it seemed like he couldn’t concentrate after Elysia was killed right in front of his eyes.
“If you wake up help quickly!”
Cindy screamed in pain. In the meantime ‘Aagh!’ Then the students caught in the arms of the lava monsters are dragged away. There was a smell of something burning accompanied by a terrible scream that followed.
[Giltra Anden has been eliminated.]
A light flashed among the lava monsters surrounding Giltra. It was the light when summoned to Camp Island.
The angry eyes of the monsters who lost their prey right in front of them turned this way.
“There are too many of them.”
said Malcolm stepping back.
“It looks like someone is controlling the lava monsters. They are moving tactically and gradually strengthening the siege.”
“Who controls it? It must be an illusion!”
Cindy snapped but Simon thought Malcolm had a point.
Right after crossing the stone bridge the enemy’s surprise attack took place as if they had been waiting for it.
A few even quickly detoured and collapsed a stone bridge to block the escape route.
Is it possible for lava monsters who are busy running into humans to make such a tactical move?
“….”
Simon glanced around.
The lava monsters were even building formations. In front 3 groups surround Simon’s party as wide as a curtain and behind them 2 reserve groups follow close behind.
This siege this tactic.
I think I’ve seen it a lot somewhere.
No it’s not like I’ve ever seen it.
‘I’m sure I’ve learned something…!’
“Uh! Over there!”
cried Cindy pointing forward. While the surrounding monsters were tightly packed a small gap was visible in the middle of the formation.
“It’s a gap! There’s a gap in the siege! Let’s run over there!”
“No it’s a trap.”
Simon stopped Cindy answering in a confident voice.
“They’re trying to lure us out. Malcolm!”
“Ugh.”
“Send all doppelgangers to that empty siege rift over there!”
Said Simon throwing something at Malcolm. Malcolm’s eyes widened when he caught it and confirmed it.
“This…!”
It was a syringe capsule containing Elysia’s blue blood.
“It’s Elysia’s amplifying serum! Was there an extra!”
Malcolm put it on his shoulder without hesitation. Soon jet black overflowed from his body and he used black magic with full force.
< Doppelganger >
Over 30 doppelgangers started running toward the gap created by the lava monsters. And Simon leading his comrades ran in the exact opposite direction.
“We are this way!”
“? What are you doing! Malcolm brought out the troops but the power is dispersed!”
“trust me!”
Simon shouted that and entered the enemy camp first.
‘Open the gate!’
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Two pronged Overlord blades protruded and split the lava monsters that were clumped together at once. Simon opened the space and took out his bones one after another and built a castle in front of him.
< Bone Armor – Heavy Armor Type >
Cuckoo coo coo!
A fortress of bones made from ogre corpses spread out in front of them. The other students immediately jumped on it and Simon gave the order to advance.
The lava monsters were pushed away by the heavy armor’s kicks and lost their balance.
“Huh? It’s easier to pierce than I thought?”
“It’s out!”
I only destroyed one layer of monsters but they came out in an instant.
After releasing the heavy armor Simon controlled the large bones.
cooong!
thud!
The bones that flew in the air were stuck like pillars creating a bone fence.
While the lava monsters scrambled to cross the fence Simon and the others were able to safely distance themselves.
“nice!”
“Live!”
As everyone cheered Cindy looked back.
The doppelgangers who ran into the gap earlier were being attacked by the lava monsters that had narrowed it down as if they had waited.
“Did you know that would happen?”
She looked at Simon with suspicious eyes.
“You also have intelligence like Elisia what is it?”
“It’s not foreknowledge.”
This is just one of the formations often used in northern Kalos.
Even the arrow that killed Elysia.
Simon looked towards Volcano Castle with a meaningful smile on his face.
‘He was there.’
* * *
[….]
The lord of the volcano castle was using Andolas Vaudeville’s system to control the lava monsters.
This was one of the rights possessed by the lord of Hwasan Castle.
A large map was spread out in front of her and the movements of monsters and volcano monsters were all being printed.
Originally even if she had this kind of authority she would have had to struggle to control it but this was easy for her as she commanded a large number of undead legions.
however.
‘Breaking through my siege.’
Having thoroughly defended the northern part of Kalos for the past decade she was a master of tactics and formation. However a group of her students who thought they would be surrounded and annihilated by her own formation escaped by playing with her monsters.
Send bait to lure the monsters and run towards the weak point on the other side. It is an impossible judgment unless you know exactly the weaknesses of the tactical team. Not even professionals but just students.
‘…Were you there?’
The owner of Hwasan Castle who was lost in thought for a moment smiled.
‘Something cheeky.’
* * *
“The owner of the volcano castle is Professor Jean Arscalt?”
“The Grand Duke of the North?”
Upon hearing Simon’s explanation everyone in the party looked shocked.
Simon nodded with a confident face.
“Yes. I’m sure.”
It was like the fact that the monsters had just used the strategy and most of all the fact that they had shot Elysia with arrows in Volcano Castle.
If it was her ability to shoot a windy bow it would not be impossible to hit Elysia from that distance.
“And there’s one more thing we can learn from this incident.”
“What?”
“Right after finishing ‘Foreign Knowledge’ Elysia crossed over to me and said this.”
-I’ll bet my victory on you.
Simon rustled and took out an injection capsule filled with blue blood from the palm of his hand.
“Think about it. If the ‘failure’ of this exam was an unconditional ‘expulsion’ would Elysia be prepared to fail and hand it over to me?”
“Wait! That means!”
Cindy jumped up.
“Elysia peeked into the future she could live in!”
“Elimination is not the end.”
Dick interrupted.
“Survival or victory. If you catch the lord of the volcano castle all the dropouts can avoid expulsion.”
“that’s right.”
Everyone let out a long sigh of relief. There were smiling faces everywhere.
Since not all of the students took the keyzen test once or twice I guessed from experience that ‘students’ victory’ was the only way to prevent expulsion and the passage provided by keyzen.
However with this case ‘confidence’ stands out not ‘guessing’. The difference in attitude was quite large.
“By the way if Simon’s words are true that’s too much. Mr. Nephthys.”
Cindy shook her head.
“How can we catch the active corps commander? It’s obvious that we can’t win.”
“Restrictions.”
Dick blurted out.
“There will undoubtedly be restrictions. It’s our job to dig into them.”
Simon thought so too.
The attack that hit Elysia was not the ‘Gentle Bow’. Also the lava monsters she controls are not the 2nd Legion.
She will only move within the role and authority of being Lord of the Volcano Castle.
“Of course due to the nature of the Archduke he will never look at you.”
Saying that Simon looked around at his colleagues.
After Elysia was eliminated he naturally became like the leader.
“We also have to fight hard. Let’s start.”
After a big fight everyone in the party was moving cautiously. At that time Cindy who was in charge of reconnaissance moved with her ears pricked up.
“Children. I think you came here well.”
“why?”
“There are so many students gathered around here. Thirty? No I think there are over forty.”
Upon hearing this Simon’s party was delighted and ran away.
It really was.
I started to see students around me and soon a group of students appeared at the bottom of the mountain. It was a large group of over 40 people.
“Attack team!”
Dick exclaimed in a voice full of joy.
“If it’s this big there’s no doubt! They must be the kids who gathered to catch the lord of the volcano castle!”
Malcolm looked at the faces of the students and said.
“But who gathered them? There must be someone who can hold the center.”
“Let’s go for now.”
Simon and his party naturally joined the raiding party.
There was no such thing as ‘hostility’ at the beginning of the exam. They were not wary of the appearance of new students but rather liked the atmosphere saying that their strength had increased. Among them there was a student who was happy to see Simon the senior student with tears in his mouth.
“Guys! I got it!”
Dick who grabbed a nearby acquaintance and asked him a few questions returned to Simon’s group and explained.
“The Volcanic Attack Team is right! They seem to be planning to gather here and go up together. The route seems to be neat.”
Just like that. Although the volcano is constantly erupting the magma did not reach or was as small as the route going up from this side.
It seemed that the raiding party was trying to gather as many people as possible from here and hit the volcano all at once.
“Oh and the leader who leads the raid is…”
As soon as Dick said that the students around him split left and right and saw a large man walking towards them.
“Simon Pollentia.”
The leader of the raiding party was Hector Moore who was ranked 3rd overall. He was gathering a raiding party to catch the lord of the volcano and finish the test.
Simon greeted me warmly.
“Hello Hector.”
“…Did you come to catch the lord of the volcano castle too?”
“As you see.”
Hector crossed his arms.
“Okay. I want to fight right away but I’m going to skip this time. I’ll have to follow my command as a full force.”
“I can’t believe it.”
Cindy who was in Class A in the same class said abruptly.
“Is it true that you are leading the raiding party with really pure intentions?
Hector’s voice sank.
“Pierre was beaten.”
“….”
“This is the only way to save him.”
Pierre Buckler was from Class A and entered the same Summoning Department and was Hector’s best friend. Now he was more than a faction to Hector.
Dick whistled as if he was surprised.
“Anyway I cherish my family dearly.”
Although feared among other students rumors that Hector was good to his people were quite popular.
Hector wrinkled his brow and pointed behind him.
“Bug you bastard roll your hair that’s not the same over there.”
A few schoolboys in the back got together and put their heads together to devise a strategy. Dick gave a rough answer of yes yes and joined the strategy team.
“And Simon Pollentia.
“….”
“Of course I’ll catch it.”
Simon looked around and said quietly.
“We’re still out of power.”
“?”
A student from his faction who had been attached to Hector’s side walked out.
“It’s fine if more than 40 people gather what’s more lacking? If you don’t want to join don’t make excuses and speak straight…”
“The identity of the volcanic castle is Professor Jin.”
A murmur was heard among the students who heard that.
“Really?”
“On what basis…”
“maybe.”
Hector stretched out his arm to block them and spat out.
“It will be right.”
When Hector made that conclusion the excited clique students around them fell silent.
Simon continued to tell about the incident related to Elysia that had just occurred.
The fact that she had precognition was famous. It was information that gave them a reason to win a little more ‘student victory’ so everyone in the raid team cheered.
Finally Simon checked the time on the output device.
“There’s still plenty of time. If we make a hasty move and lose this person there’s no hope.”
Simon raised his head.
“Let’s gather as many people as possible and go in at once. We especially need the strength of the Top 10.”
“You’re going to collect the Top 10? Even after you’ve been beaten by them you’ll hear that kind of voice.”
Hector frowned.
“All of them are selfish and reckless. How do you plan to get them in? In particular they must all be hostile to you.”
Simon looked up at the sky.
A boat could be seen floating in the distance from here. Simon smiled lightly.
“If you don’t listen to me with words I’ll have to convince you with force.”
