Necromancer Academy’s Genius Summoner - Chapter 961
Necromancer School’s Summoning Genius Episode 961
The Mohang Festival continued.
Simon rowed on a waterway filled with colorful flower petals. As you move along with the swimming carp, you will see small docks everywhere.
All the selected students have to do is drop down there one by one and carry out their duties. It would be a big problem if the routes were twisted or overlapped, so there was a set point at which each selected candidate had to get off.
“Euclid! take care!”
“huh. “Lisa.”
After saying goodbye to Lisa, Simon got off alone at the first dock.
At first, I was nervous because it was a mission. In Keygen, missions were a series of activities that involved risking one’s life to eliminate enemies or achieve victory after competing with an opponent.
But it was different here.
“There’s a young missionary here!”
“I’ve been waiting!”
There is no such brutal competition system at Afnel.
Emperor Mohang is merely faithful to reproducing anecdotes from the scriptures. Simon walked along, receiving an enthusiastic welcome from the people around him.
‘I haven’t done anything yet, so why do you like me so much?’
Simon was curious even as he waved to the crowd.
Anyway, at the end of the road, an old man with a white fleece around his neck was waiting. He seemed like the tallest person in the village, but the surrounding area was full of people trying to get a closer look at the festival.
“Rous! “Young missionary.”
“Rous. “It’s an honor to meet you.”
The old man wrapped the thick wool scarf he was wearing around Simon’s neck and memorized the contents of the scriptures line by line.
“By the will of the Great Mother! “The young missionary will now depart for the Holy Land to wash away the village’s troubles!”
This is how the first mission begins. Simon ran with a fleece wrapped around his neck, waiting for people to run.
After running diligently for about 20 minutes, we arrived at the ‘holy place’ located at the end of the village.
For religious reasons, no one is allowed to set foot in the sacred site. Only selected students during the homecoming period are allowed access.
‘That’s it.’
Simon raised his head.
There may have been a temple in the past, but now only the ruins of a house remain.
On the old pillar of this ruin, you can see the wool hung by a senior student who participated in last year’s Mohang Festival. It was dirty and pitch black with grime.
After collecting the contaminated fleece, Simon hung the white, clean fleece he had received earlier on a pole.
He stepped back and smiled in embarrassment.
‘Is this really the end?’
If it had been Keygen, something would have happened around this time, such as a fireball falling from the sky, a monster jumping out, or an examiner suddenly attacking you, saying, “I’m going to test your skills.”
It may be a device to catch you off guard and catch you in the back. Simon, who was filled with distrust after two years of living in Kizen, returned to the dock without letting his guard down.
-Our town’s hero is back!
I just hung up the fleece at the shrine, but the people treated me very warmly, as if I was a real hero who saved the village.
And during the ceremony of burning the old wool brought by Simon in the brazier, everyone shed tears or prayed with great emotion.
‘I feel dazed.’
Simon, who survived the unlimited competition system of Keygen and became student council president, found these Afnel customs somewhat awkward.
still.
-With this, the goddess will take care of our village again this year.
-student! You must become a priest who is like a great lighthouse that illuminates the path ahead of people!
People’s hearts were sincere, so it was okay.
To believe.
Faith is the foundation of divinity and the driving force of the Holy Federation.
The Federation maintains a stagnant society in order to preserve its traditions, but it is still on par with Keygen, which constantly pursues development and competition.
‘A fascinating neighborhood.’
Simon smiled slightly.
‘Still, it’s an experience that not everyone can have. ‘It’s a good thing you came to Sky Island.’
Simon got back in the boat and rowed away to his next mission.
People waved handkerchiefs to see them off.
‘what.’
I thought it wasn’t a bad thing to move around like this sometimes with an empty mind.
***
As the recruits proceed along the waterway, there are three sacred places for each person to hang their new fleece.
In other words, 10 selected students must visit a total of 30 sacred sites.
After the selected students visit all the sacred sites, the ‘Mohangje’ ends with all students gathering together for a joint worship service. Afterwards, a grand feast is held throughout Epnel.
Simon had visited two shrines and now had only the last shrine left, which was his quota.
“i look forward to! “Missionary!”
“Hold on a little more!”
While listening to the cheers of the last villagers, Simon ran toward the shrine with a new fleece wrapped around his neck.
‘Everyone is serious about this festival, so we can’t do it half-heartedly.’
The third shrine was located quite far away, so Simon had to run diligently.
Now, as the sun was setting, the surrounding area was getting darker and darker, and it had a slightly eerie atmosphere, perhaps because it was deserted since it was a sacred place that no one could approach.
After running for a full 30 minutes, Simon was able to safely arrive at the ruined temple inside the sanctuary.
‘Ugh.’
Last year’s wool hanging on the pillars of this shrine had a terrible smell. The bugs were also twisted. Simon waved the bugs away with his hand, placed the dirty fleece on the floor, and hung up the clean new fleece he had just brought.
‘With this, the last mission ends.’
Simon picked up the soiled wool.
‘Then let’s go…’
At that moment, the back of my neck felt stiff and I felt a red signal from my five senses.
Simon shrugged his shoulders once and slowly turned his head to look to the side.
A dark forest located right next to the sacred site.
Three pairs of eyes were staring at us through the dense trees.
thud!
thud!
Soon, a huge white lion with three heads appeared from the forest. Simon, who was dazed for a moment, soon shook his wrists and smiled.
“There’s no way it could end like this!”
No matter how much I was Afnel, I thought it was right to prepare for at least one ordeal.
-Krrrrr!
A three-headed lion rushed towards Simon. Simon also pulled up his fighting gear and grabbed the necklace he had put inside his clothes.
“come out! White! “Kamang!”
-Yow!
-Nyan! Meow!
Two white and black divine beasts jumped into the air. Soon, Simon also created a sphere of divinity and threw it into the sky.
“It’s an objectification!”
The two gods yum! He bit the nova and spun around, turning into a chakram in the shape of a wheel.
Simon, who grabbed the weapon, tried to engage in a search war first.
‘Faster, faster!’
The huge lion god beast was accelerating and rushing.
Behind are the ruins.
Isn’t this a relic of great archaeological value? What if it gets damaged?
“Big!”
To protect the ruins, Simon did not run away, but crossed the completed divine beast, Chakram, like a shield. The Shinsu came running straight and collided with Simon with the force of its rush.
Woooooooo!
Simon’s body was thrown backwards with a loud noise. Simon could also feel that the cat spirits were shocked and in pain.
‘what is this.’
I barely held on, but my knees buckled. Cold sweat ran down the back of Simon’s neck. This time, Shinsu raised his claws and swung his front paw, but Simon, who quickly ducked to avoid the attack, slid out between the lion’s legs.
‘It’s no joke!’
-Crrrrrrrrr!
The divine lion attacked Simon with its eyes wide open. Shinsoo’s eyes went berserk with anger, and the attack just now was also imbued with murderous intent.
If it had been an ordinary selector instead of Simon, an experienced 3rd year student from Keygen, he might have been seriously injured.
‘What’s going on? Was it an accident rather than a planned festival procedure?’
Simon’s eyes quickly turned.
You can see the necklace the lion is wearing.
Seal of the Holy Federation.
This was a divine beast managed directly by the federal government. During the first session of the worship service, Lirinet and Lethe repeatedly emphasized that the divine beast wearing that necklace should not be caught.
‘The divine beast managed by the federal government is running rampant and attacking people. The reason is?’
The best thing to do was to find the reason and solve it, but now that god’s eyes have turned in anger.
There was a need to let go of that anger right now.
“Let’s go, guys.”
-Meow!
Simon and the cat gods exploded with divinity and entered into battle.
***
“What’s going on!”
After hearing the report from the communication crystal sphere, the middle-aged paladin led his men and arrived in front of the shrine.
The paladins who were stamping their feet unable to enter the shrine immediately saluted and reported.
“I’m giving you a report! The divine beast Serapion has appeared in the Holy Land on a rampage! “They are attacking a student who was conducting a Mohangje ceremony!”
The middle-aged paladin who heard those words screamed.
“What are you doing here knowing that?”
A sound like metal clashing continued to echo in the distance. The paladin guarding the shrine stammered.
“Oh, you know! No one is allowed inside the sacred site! “If I go in and incur the goddess’s wrath…!”
“What are you talking about! “A student is under attack!”
“Haona…!”
The middle-aged paladin, who had not heard anything, suddenly pulled out a sword from his waist.
“I declare in the name of the Great Mother!”
Then he knelt down, put one hand on the floor, and slashed the back of his hand with the sword he held in his other hand.
Phew!
Blood poured out and the pupils of his subordinates shook.
“If the goddess accuses me of entering the sacred place to save a young student, I, Cambrine, will take all the blame and die in her place! This red blood proves it!”
puck!
He took out the sword stuck on the back of his hand and stepped into the shrine.
“Save the student!”
Only then did the paladins draw their swords and run to the shrine.
Kaaaang! visor!
The roar and the sound of metal crashing was getting louder and louder.
‘I don’t ask for much! ‘Please just hold your breath!’
The middle-aged paladin roughly bandaged the back of his bleeding hand and grabbed the sword.
In the distance, you can see the three-headed divine beast Serapion.
however.
“Haaaaaap!”
The recruit who was expected to run away or hide was now fighting Serapion with his body exposed.
Kaaaaaaaa!
Simon, who swung the chakram and cleverly bounced off his front foot, fired the chakram with his other hand, causing Serapion to lower his body.
He then threw the chakram with his right arm and jumped into the air, clasping his empty hands together and pretending to throw them down.
< Exorcism >
Rumbling!
A dazzling white lightning struck Serapion’s face. Simon, who landed gracefully on the floor, raised both arms and easily retrieved the returning chakram into his hands.
Serapion violently shook his head as if to come to his senses and then charged again, and Simon also did not back down and fought back.
Superior fighting ability. He freely throws the chakram to block the direction and movement, and when his hands are empty, he unleashes white magic to check with a long-distance attack.
In particular, he is skilled at maintaining his distance when dealing with a Shinsu that is larger than him. Even the skill of a veteran was visible.
‘I can’t believe the Sensei is fighting on equal footing with Serapion. ‘It’s hard to believe!’
The middle-aged paladin who was running sighed in relief and shouted.
“student! “We are here, so get back!”
Simon also looked at the paladins running towards him.
But there was no intention of stopping the fight.
‘I guess you’ve come to your senses at this point, right?’
That Shinsu appears to keep shaking his head right after receiving an exorcism blow to the head. Shinsu let out a shout.
That’s not anger, it’s a ‘scream’.
There seems to be something going on.
‘There is room for communication. Then do as you learned from Lethe.’
Huu-eup.
Simon took a deep breath and put the sheep chakram in his hand down on the grass. Then he stood up straight and stretched out his right arm.
“What…!”
“Run away! student!”
Make eye contact with Shinsoo.
Scattering divinity according to the opening ceremony.
says
“stop.”
Cheok!
The Shinsu’s gaping mouth stopped like a lie in front of Simon’s hand.
“calm down.”
Simon continued to exude divinity and took a step closer. Serapion flinched and took a step back, but Simon took two steps forward and lightly placed his hand on the bridge of his nose.
“I am not your enemy.”
Only then.
Serapion’s mouth, which had been growling, closed completely.
“…I’m speechless.”
The recruit who had just arrived at Sky Island raised his hand to stop the large divine beast.
The paladins, who were prepared to fight with equipment such as blockades and chains, could not help but be entranced.
“Don’t come any closer. “It can stimulate the divine water.”
Simon warned Paladin and then went back into the ruins.
Soon I started searching all over the ruins.
‘There must be a reason why you’re so angry.’
-Meow!
At that time, Kamangi, who had returned to his original form from Chakram, cried out and pointed forward with his tiptoe.
I saw a basket. Simon squatted down in front of him.
“This is…”
What was in the basket was a small cushion covered in fur.
There was something like an animal smell somewhere.
-Crumbling!
At the same time, Serapion’s cries were heard outside.
Simon quickly ran over and showed the cushion to Shinsu.
“Are you looking for your cub? It’s not here. “It’s just that your baby’s scent was here.”
When Simon put down the cushion, Serapion made a pitiful noise and rubbed his head against the cushion.
Simon raised his head with a serious expression.
“We will definitely find your baby.”
Did you understand what I said?
Serapion, who was rubbing his face on the cushion, flicked Simon’s cheek with his tongue. Simon laughed ahaha.
“What is this…”
“Did you hear?”
Simon, who was stroking Serapion’s chin, looked at the paladins and said.
“The person in charge, Saint Lethe, will be arriving soon. Please control all information and find this child’s cub right now.”
The cub was stolen and a cushion soaked in the cub’s scent was placed in this sacred place.
This is definitely it.
‘The murderer tried to kill me.’
The corners of Simon’s mouth rose.
‘I’m glad. You clearly care about me.’
Finally, the killer made his move.
A clue has been found.
‘This was his mistake.’
There must be a clue left in some way.
Now we can finally hit the ground running here.
