Necromancer School’s Summoning Genius Chapter 388
The mystery of the dungeon is gradually being solved.
I kept wondering how the monsters living here replenish their energy without consuming food but when the monsters run out of power they turn into natural objects in the dungeon such as plants and rocks.
And if you wait for a while in this state an unknown entity directly contacts something like a white nerve and transmits energy.
Simon thought that the unknown being was a ‘dungeon master’ that is a boss monster. The Dungeon Master is the only one who can control the ecosystem of this world.
And how to get in touch with that being.
‘It’s like a monster.’
If you sit still and do not move while maintaining your concentration the being presumed to be the owner of the dungeon will send you white tentacles that look like nerve cells.
However the moment they make contact the dungeon master realizes that Simon is not a monster and runs away. Still Simon has a strong residual sense of the direction the tentacles are running away from.
You just have to keep walking in that direction. It is a kind of compass.
If you get lost or confused repeat it again to deceive the dungeon master and catch the direction.
It took a lot of trial and error to figure this out. At first covering the body with minerals was a meaningless action.
The conditions are not to move for at least an hour not to be disturbed while breathing regularly not to sleep and to do it in a place with many trees or plants around.
10 days like that.
“hmm.”
Simon who was meditating felt the movement of the dungeon master again and opened his eyes.
It seemed that he was really close to the dungeon lord. The residual feeling after contact is getting stronger and stronger.
‘Let’s eat something for now.’
Since he was hungry from meditating Simon filled his stomach with meat left over from hunting monsters the other day.
It was tasteless no matter when I ate it. It was all the more so after learning that the monsters here turned into plants.
‘…Somehow the texture is not meat but the texture of chewing mushrooms.’
In addition the monster’s flesh turned into a dried-up plant in just a few hours.
The shelf life is only one day. In other words it was said that they had to hunt monsters once a day.
“Laugh.”
After eating Simon stretched lightly. The direction was decided and soon I had to find game to eat for dinner tonight.
He sees footprints scattered all over the forest floor.
‘Follow this for now… Huh?’
Simon rolled his eyes and bent his knees.
Footprints on the floor are clear. A pair of constant stride lengths that have just been created.
More surprising than that it wasn’t the footprints of the monsters I’d been tired of seeing here.
‘These are shoe prints!’
Keyzen student Someone is nearby. Simon immediately ran in the footsteps.
Because the floor was damp the marks were clearly visible and the width of the digging deepened as time went by. Evidence that someone has stayed here recently.
Soon follow the footprints and get out of the dense forest.
wheeeeeeeeeeeeeee-
The wind blew with a blinding light.
There she could see the long sky-blue hair and the girl’s back. As she brushed her hair under her ears she also felt her presence and looked behind her.
“…ah?”
The girl’s eyes widened rapidly. After a moment of surprise joy and emotion that could not be hidden came out of her face.
“city…!”
“Simon!!!”
However there was one person who jumped out one step ahead of her.
Toto clung to Simon’s body and was pouring out tears of emotion.
“…To Toto?”
“Heh heh! Simon! Nice to meet you! It was really scary!”
At the same time it was Toto who glanced sideways at Meilin. Merlin’s face turned red.
“Hey!! What did I do!”
“Heheuk!”
Toto hid behind Simon’s back. Simon chuckled.
“You two are still the same.”
“…Return the impression of my reunion. Really.”
Mei Lin rubbed her forehead and muttered that then looked at Simon.
After 10 days I thought the boys would have shaggy beards and scruffy faces but Simon was still straight. Looks like he even shaved with ease.
Well it was the same during the last island survival evaluation and it seems that this human will survive no matter where it is dropped.
“Do you have any more people?”
Simon shook his head at Meirin’s question.
“No you’re the first one I met.”
Mei Lin held out her hand with sparkling eyes.
“Then would you like to promote with us? Of course if you like it…”
Simon held his hand and smiled. A grip that was neither strong nor weak just right covered her white hands.
“Of course it’s good.”
A mischievous smile escaped from Meirin’s lips. Ever since she came to the dungeon she had been at a loss but when she met Simon she couldn’t be more reassuring.
Of course there was Toto but he was a position that Meirin herself had to protect rather than becoming a will.
“Muh of course I’m the captain! Do you have any objections?”
“Haha! Do whatever you want.”
The three talked about the progress and shared the information they found out.
First of all all three of them knew how to attack mineral monsters and the fact that monsters turned into plants.
Meirin and Toto did not know the location of the dungeon master but they were moving with their own standards.
“If you look closely the roots of the trees are leaning in a certain direction.”
“okay?”
At Meirin’s words Simon narrowed his eyes and scanned the roots of nearby trees.
“…Well I’m not sure.”
“If you look really really closely the direction is finely the same.”
Simon scratched the side of his head.
“Isn’t it meaningless information if it’s minute?”
“You might think so. But!”
Meirin spread her arms wide.
“What if the conditions were the same for all the trees here?”
It doesn’t matter that the roots of the plant are leaning to one side.
But if out of 300 trees in the forest 299 trees are equally oriented that way the story is different. meaning arises.
“Actually it’s not a big discovery but since this was all we found out we were just moving in this direction.”
Simon nodded.
“Nice job.”
The dungeon lord’s white tentacles climb up the ground and supply nutrients to planted monsters. I think that the direction of the roots may have been directed toward that direction.
Of course plant roots can change according to natural conditions such as the slope of the terrain wind and light so it wasn’t a 100% sure clue but in the end I was able to meet Simon like this because I moved with a certain direction.
Simon recounted the information he found out this time.
“You say you can contact the dungeon master?”
Meirin and Toto’s eyes widened.
“I’ll try it!”
Meirin quickly gathered her knees together and closed her eyes in a sitting position. Toto next to her leaned against the tree and closed her eyes as if curious.
however.
Excited! Excited!
After less than 30 minutes Meirin’s shoulders were shaking with boredom. Toto was sleeping dripping from her mouth to her saliva.
Simon let out a bitter laugh.
“They’re both failures.”
Even if you know how to do it if you are a distracted person or a person who sleeps a lot it would be difficult to do.
The two of them failed but Simon contacted the dungeon master once more and reconfirmed his direction.
“I’ll tell you the direction. Let’s move.”
“huh!”
For now it was urgent to go directly and prove Simon’s hypothesis and confirm the location of the dungeon master.
The three of them moved diligently.
As we went in the direction of the dungeon master the monsters grew larger and more numerous. If caught they would attack relentlessly so they had to move around in a direction where there were no monsters as much as possible.
“Simon! The road in front is teeming with monsters!”
Toto who went out on a reconnaissance reported. Simon nodded.
“We have to conserve our mineral weapons. I think we can avoid the battle if we go up the hill here. What do you do?”
Simon pointed up and said. Meirin also looked up at her and narrowed her brows.
“…It’s going to consume a lot of stamina but it can’t be helped.”
“wait for a sec.”
Simon opened the subspace.
The six skeletons that appeared split into several pieces and clung to the bodies of the three.
“Now if you wear this and climb you’ll feel better.”
“This is the full-body armor!”
Toto’s eyes sparkled with respect as he looked at Simon.
swish swish
Simon who was fully equipped with the armor swung his arm and showed a demonstration first.
I stretched out my arms and grabbed the protruding spot then stepped on the firm spot with my right foot and climbed up.
“Follow Meylin!”
“Oh yes!”
Meirin also immediately tested the exoskeleton effect of the Bone Armor and climbed the protruding part of the sloping hill.
“That’s great! It goes up without any effort!”
Meirin also quickly got used to it. There was no problem with her somewhat weak motor nerve as her Simon was directly assisting with the Bone Armor.
“Hey! Chinta!”
Excited she looked back.
“Why so slow? Come quickly!”
However when Toto who was following her made eye contact with Meirin her face blushed and hurriedly avoided her gaze.
“Why…”
Belatedly Meirin made an expression of realizing something.
Fuck!
Soon after Toto hit by her back kick slid off the cliff.
Toto had to crawl up the wall again and climb it before Meirin.
“…Simon I was really tired.”
Toto who had shoe marks on his face said with a teary face.
“…haha.”
It must have been difficult for Toto who was timid in nature to handle Meirin’s personality.
“Sah in fact maybe Meirin doesn’t like me?”
Toto whose confidence was extremely low said with a wrinkled expression. Simon shook his head.
‘Even if I do this and that.’
Mei Lin is a thorough sexist who values results. However she is seriously aiming for the first place in this promotion test and she protects her Toto who may become a burden by taking her to the end.
You can tell just by looking at that fact.
“Maylin is not honest so she sometimes does or says things she doesn’t like.”
Simon continued.
“If you treat Meilin a little more comfortably you’ll understand…”
“That that’s impossible!”
Simon laughed out loud at Toto’s complaint.
The three climbed to the top of the cliff with the power of the Bone Armor.
“Wow you’re in a place where a real boss might be!”
Mei Lin jumped up and expressed her joy. I was able to look down at a view of the black mountain range that I had never seen anywhere else in this dungeon.
“Come on let’s go down. Be careful.”
Simon was leading the way down but Toto pointed to the sky.
“Hey guys. Is there something coming over there?”
“huh?”
Simon raised his head.
I thought it was a bird but it wasn’t.
“…!”
It was a black dragon.
flutter!
A large dragon descended fluttering its black wings with holes in them. Just by flapping its wings it created a strong wind.
“Kyaaaagh!”
“Keep down!”
Simon supported Meirin and Toto who were lying face down in pitch darkness. Soon the black dragon attached its legs to the top of the distant hill where the three people were and folded its wings.
‘In a place like this…!’
Simon bit his lip.
The black dragon’s body shrunk little by little and the scales that had been firmly embedded in its body also protruded and hung on to it.
The reptilian snout was retracted and the face returned to a straight human face and the sharp teeth also changed.
“Simon Pollentia.”
Soon he returned to the Hector figure everyone knew.
“…Hector!”
Meirin jumped up and created a magic circle with both hands.
“You know that fighting between students in a dungeon is prohibited right?”
“A fight is prohibited but a little painful tumbling from this hill would not be considered a fight.”
“You!”
Simon raised his arm to block Meirin who was about to rush at him.
“What’s the matter?”
Hector was not thoughtless in Simon’s eyes although he had an excessive desire to compete and had a temperamental character that did not take care of fire once angered.
Hector also saw Simon.
“If it were you you would have found the location of the boss.”
“….”
“Guide me.”
Are you trying to cooperate in clearing the dungeon?
Simon was happy inside but Meirin said ‘excited’ and crossed his arms.
“Why are we supposed to say you’re pretty?”
Hector raised an eyebrow.
He’ll probably follow you from behind even if you don’t guide him. Simon looked at him and said.
“Even one person needs more power. Let’s cooperate in this boss battle Hector.”
