Necromancer School’s Summoning Genius Chapter 361
The news that Magnus Corps is preparing a heinous plan Simon came to the Pentamonium to hear.
– What about wine?
-I’m on a mission right now. Let’s get right to the point.
It was yesterday when Kazan summoned her from the roof of the inn under the full moon.
-I have something to report about the mission.
The story I heard from Kazan was rather shocking.
Magnus’ ‘Loke Island Trespassing Incident’ that happened a few months ago.
Even if it was a non-real alter ego the fact that Magnus entered Loch Island was a big issue. It was because such an intrusion was impossible unless there was an infiltrator on the side of the allies.
Accordingly Nephthys set up a dedicated investigation team and investigated the crow ‘Evangelos’ who was on duty at the time of the incident and found out that he was colluding with Magnus.
However Nephthys didn’t catch him right away so he decided to wait until he got solid evidence after putting a curse on Evangelos so that he wouldn’t find out.
The curse was a curse that sent a signal to headquarters when Evangelos uttered the word ‘Magnus’.
As time passed I realized that Evangelos had said the word ‘Magnus’ several times since he was dispatched to Pentamonium.
Immediately two crows closest to Nephthys came over and restrained him and cursed him with the spirit world causing his brain to burn while making him divulge information. Evangelos was also not easy he put a curse on himself that would lead to death when a certain keyword was activated.
-Since Evangelos died too early the crows found only two pieces of information.
Kazan spread two fingers at Simon.
-First the Ancient Undead of Magnus Corps have come to this Pantemonium. and second.
The second finger pointed at Simon.
-It is true that they will carry out some plan to get you right tomorrow.
Evangelos died after setting the whole plan to happen on time. Since we do not know the contents of the plan we cannot prevent it in advance.
So the crows informed the Pentamonium of at least the information they had found so far and the Pentamonium announced that they would not be shaken by such a childish kidnapping case tripled the security and forced the academic conference.
-Their purpose is you Simon. The crows advised to return to Roch Island. Pack up right now…
-no.
Simon shook his head and met Kazan’s eyes.
-This is both a crisis and an opportunity. I’ll be the bait.
With or without Simon their plan itself will be carried out at Pentamonium.
And the Ancient Undead who will carry out the kidnapping plan are still unaware of the ‘death of Evangelos’ their collaborator.
Simon made a bold decision based on these two facts.
-The idea of using yourself as bait to draw out the Ancient Undead is good but it’s too dangerous.
-Is it dangerous?
Simon grabbed the hem of his school uniform.
– So in other words have I ever been safe? Whether at Roch Island or at Pentamonium Magnus has always put me in danger! I’d rather-
Simon’s eyes lit up seriously.
– I will fight back from my side.
In the end Kazan communicated Simon’s proposal to the crows and the crows also accepted it.
– Kazan. I’ll check one more time. Are you sure the Ancient Undead doesn’t know about Evangelos’ death?
-Yes that’s for sure. An autopsy revealed no other signs of a curse.
-great. So from now on leave it to me and my army.
Simon called Elizabeth who was waiting in subspace and had her transform into Evangelos.
And he decided to wait for Evangelos to act as if he were alive and to come first from the attackers.
And the very next day the Ancient Undead ‘Zombie Butler’s plan began.
The zombie butler’s plan far exceeded everyone’s expectations. It wasn’t just a surprise kidnapping it was a hole in the Pentamonium barrier and the zombies were brought into the city.
Still after being tipped off by the crows Pentamonium responded quickly and minimized the damage but the zombie butler’s target was tight.
He made various plans according to Simon’s movements. And the main plan was ‘Sasha’.
When an alarm goes off due to an external attack Pentamonium sets up a barrier to automatically spread across all glass towers. At that time I expected that if I send zombies into the glass tower where Sasha is and make a mess on the first floor Simon will tear her barrier and come in to save Sasha.
Simon also broke through the barrier of the saint in the neutral zone. The zombie butler accurately pointed out that only Simon could break through the barrier of Pentamonium in this neutral zone.
Simon and the zombie butler met in a place within the barrier where all contact with the outside world was cut off. Then Evangelos kidnapped Sasha and he thought everything went perfectly according to his script.
[From the beginning I-]
At the most crucial moment Evangelos’ face split in half.
[Wasn’t it on your side?]
Evangelos whom he trusted as an ally was actually a transformed Elizabeth. She didn’t kidnap Sasha she was ‘protecting’ her.
Nephthys’ information arrangement. And it was a feat created by Simon’s base who used it 200% and reversed the zombie butler’s back.
Simon then tore up one of the captured zombie butler’s permanent magic circles and opened a communication line with his master Magnus.
and said
“Let’s do a prisoner exchange. If you want to save this guy bring Achemus.”
One move that could bring Magnus commander of the 5th corps down to the negotiating table.
Simon intended to use this opportunity to recapture his father’s undead.
[Aww!]
The zombie butler caught in the spider’s web twisted his body with an angry face.
[Don’t listen! Corps commander! If they intend to use me as a negotiating tool they will never destroy me!]
Then he turned his head.
[I don’t care kill them all!]
-Uh uh uh!
-Uuuuuuuuuuuu!
Nearly twenty white zombies started running.
Cerne Kazan and Prince and Elizabeth joined Simon’s side and prepared for battle.
[Huh heh! There are quite a few of them!]
Prince came forward the most.
[Of course since I’m a hero I was never scared!]
“No need to worry.”
Kazan said in a relaxed tone.
“Because I’ve called in the best reinforcements.”
Shoot AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
It’s scary to say that.
A large amount of sea water fell from the ceiling of the building like a waterfall.
The gurgling black seawater with the momentum to submerge the entire building swept away the white zombies and swallowed them up. As if a black hole swallowed up light the bodies of the white zombies disappeared without a trace.
“An unspoilt boy’s dream is more valuable than anything else!”
And in that black sea a man with the size of a giant raised his right arm.
“I will never forgive anyone who tries to interrupt that dream! Mmm!”
Simon laughed and shouted.
“Chairman Pantasus!”
Keyzen’s student council president Phantasus snapped his fingers. Then the seawater gathered in the center exploded! It sent the white zombies flying in all directions with a sound.
Kwak!
cooong!
Formidable destructive power. Twenty white zombies collided hard against the glass wall and collapsed. The impact was so great that his limbs and neck snapped in the opposite direction.
Phantasus hahahaha! laughed heartily.
[Is that a human?]
Prince sounded rather dazed. At that time the captured zombie butler showed a faint smile.
[It is useless.]
Seruk.
Sew.
The bones of the whole body were shattered and the flesh crumbled to the point of being turned into dough but before I knew it the 20 white zombies who had fallen were all limping and getting up from their seats.
[Don’t underestimate them. I will move until my body turns to powder!]
Elizabeth moved her fingers to tighten the zombie butler even tighter but he smiled eerily.
[Don’t mind me kill that big guy!!]
thud! thud! thud! thud!
White zombies rushed at Phantasus. Simon exclaimed urgently.
“Chairman Phantasus! Avoid!”
“Um that’s fine!”
He sat there doing nothing just relaxing with his arms crossed. Although the white zombie who rushed to the forefront swung his arm at the defenseless Phantasus.
thud!
Soon he couldn’t reach the Phantasus and fell to the floor from his forehead to the ground.
thud! thud!
The white zombies behind him did the same. The steps of the undead that were approaching slowly slowed down and then collapsed.
[Oh no!]
After a while all twenty white zombies were lying on the floor in a circle around Phantasus in the middle.
[How can this…?! What have you done to my white ghosts!]
“just.”
Phantasus grinned and raised a finger.
“It’s done!”
Everyone put on a blank expression.
The zombie butler tied to the spider’s web shouted as if in a fit.
[You can’t do that! The undead have no concept of sleep!!]
“I’m sure it is.”
I brushed the Phantasus chin.
“Then even for the undead let’s define ‘the act of lying still while stopping all activities including consciousness’ as sleep and then execute it.”
[!!! What kind of bullshit is that…!]
“That bullshit.”
Phantasus spread his arms.
“Isn’t it wide open like this now?”
Only then did the zombie butler look as if he had been hit in the back of the head with a hammer.
A sorcerer who easily chews up and revises not only living things but also the providence of the dead.
This is it.
‘The strongest necromancer in the school of Keyzen!’
Simon’s eyes lit up with respect.
“hahahahahahahaha!!”
Simon who had been listening to Phantasus’ laughter looked at Kazan in surprise. Then he killed his voice.
“Ka-kajan! But can I get caught by the president of the Pantasus?”
“What do you mean?”
“…That I am the corps commander.”
“Don’t worry. The chairman like me is Nephthys’s closest friend. He’s a trustworthy person.”
Simon was relieved. That’s why the two of them who seemed to have no contact were so close.
It was then.
– It’s interesting.
A third person’s voice was heard. Simon’s head jerked.
Poududeuk! Pudeuk!
The zombie butler’s forehead cracked and a human eye popped out between them.
The eyes scowled and looked around for a moment before staring straight at Simon.
-What are you doing by grabbing my subordinate? Simon Pollentia.
The voice came from the permanent magic circle drawn on the zombie butler’s body.
[Old corps commander!]
The zombie butler lowered his head as if he had no face. A sullen laugh was heard from the magic circle.
– What is this like? butler. It’s a problem because you’re too nice. I’m going to rush with the thought of destroying Pentamonium.
[… I have no face.]
Simon turned to stare straight into Magnus’s eyes protruding from his forehead.
“I don’t need another word. I have only one request.”
Simon’s eyes flashed.
“It’s an exchange between Achemus and this guy.”
– Ha ha ha ha ha!
A loud laugh erupted. Simon shut his mouth and waited in silence for his reply.
– It’s daring. very bold
Simon guessed Magnus’ purpose.
Getting your hands on more Ancient Undead.
It was unthinkable that he would just blow away his precious Ancient Undead.
And finally Magnus’ mouth opened.
-Tell me the time and place kid.
* * *
The situation was quickly rectified.
There was a hole in the barrier and outside zombies came in but the Pentamonium side minimized civilian damage with a quick response. It was also a great advantage that there were many combatants who could fight like a Necromancer event.
Above all the purpose of the zombie butler who did this was not to ‘slaughter’ in the first place but to activate the wartime situation and induce the barrier of the glass tower to be turned on.
Unlike Magnus who had a typical bullying temperament Zombie Butler was the type that valued the reputation of the Legion. The operation to kidnap Simon would be carried out under Magnus’ order but he wanted to avoid as much as possible the Fifth Corps turning the entire Dark Alliance into an enemy at this event where nobles from all over the kingdom gathered.
Even the owner Magnus pointed out that.
-It’s a problem because you’re too kind. I’m going to rush with the thought of destroying Pentamonium.
In the end the Pentamonium incident was settled and the zombie butler was caught by Simon.
There were no major casualties but the atmosphere was too chaotic to go ahead with the event so the Pentamonium decided to end the academic conference and send people away.
Simon was also going to return to Kizen but the student council president Phantasus gave his full power.
And now.
Prisoner exchange begins.
wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
The place is a deserted field not too far from Pentamonium.
On the vast plain where grass sparsely grew Simon stood wearing his peer armor.
Next to her was a zombie butler whose entire body was restrained with Elizabeth’s spider web and a curse amulet.
Simon checked the watch on his wrist without saying anything.
‘Now five minutes ago.’
My mouth was dry from the tension.
