Necromancer School’s Summoning Genius Chapter 766
The girl’s gaze wavered anxiously.
“Hongfeng-sama… I can’t see him. He’s been captured and locked up underground.”
Surprised voices erupted from the party who heard her answer.
“Gyo the professor was caught? By whom?”
The little girl shook her head and continued.
“I don’t know who it was either. It was a being wrapped in a robe.”
“Nonsense.”
Maybe her legs lost strength Meirin squatted down in her seat.
“You mean Professor Hongfeng was really captured? Someone so strong…”
“Ho Hongfeng-sama!”
It was then that the girl raised her voice for the first time.
“You didn’t get captured because you lost the fight!”
“?”
The girl explained what had happened.
After vacation Hong Feng returned to his hometown after a long absence.
She always worked hard on the development of the Marlat clan and the grasslands with the salary she earned at school. She even provided food in the winter when there was nothing to eat and she brought in livestock that grew high-quality hair.
Above all her theory was that nomadic tribes who have to change their residence frequently should also focus on education. The children were able to learn continental languages and letters from their teachers thanks to her help.
Hong Feng who returned to the meadow during the vacation said that he would invite the students he teaches here. She said it would be a fun time for the students and it would be a good experience for the children of the meadow to meet the Keyzen students.
The clan readily agreed with Hongfeng’s wishes and everything seemed to be going well.
however.
“While Professor Hongfeng was away for a while to investigate the surroundings strange monsters invaded the village.”
As if imagining that time the girl continued talking with a frightened face.
“The monsters captured the villagers and imprisoned them underground here. Professor Hongfeng came to rescue us but in the end ‘he’ threatened the villagers’ lives…”
When the girl unable to speak showed tears Kamibarez came over and hugged her warmly.
Soon a whimper sounded.
“….”
The remaining three gathered with firm faces and started the meeting.
Mei Lin said with an enraged face.
“Who the hell is doing this for what reason? There’s nothing you can get by attacking the meadow!”
“I have a guess.”
said Dick. Simon and Meirin’s heads turned toward it.
“What is it? Dick.”
“Think about it. The temples of an ancient civilization that suddenly appeared. And the unidentified inhabitants and monsters! They were just performing a suspicious ceremony right?”
“It did.”
he spread his hands
“The ghosts of a ruined civilization are trying to rebuild the old civilization in the modern age! Professor Hongfeng is the most powerful and threatening obstacle so we captured him and the villagers will be used as living sacrifices.”
“What? A living sacrifice? Isn’t that too much delusion?”
Maylin’s eyes widened but Dick spoke confidently.
“Remember that there was a human sacrifice custom in the ancient civilization of the steppe? It wasn’t meant to eat people it was actually all sacrificed to black magic!”
“wait for a sec.”
Simon intervened.
“It’s not the right time to say that people used black magic back then.”
The history of the continent handed down through written records is as follows.
At the very beginning the ‘Age of Ancient Civilization’ where opinions were divided among scholars as to whether it existed or not.
Then came the ‘Era of Equestrian Horses’ the heyday of nomadic tribes.
The ‘era of knights and wizards’ was an arena of competition between aura and pure magic.
And finally the present ‘age of necromancers and priests’.
“The ruins in the lower part are from the era of ancient civilization. At that time the existence of black magic itself did not exist.”
“No no.”
Dick waved his hand.
“Even in that era very primitive black magic must have existed. Just looking at the use of living sacrifices it is true. Living sacrifices are impossible in the modern world of black magic right? If you used a ritual it must be a very primitive system.”
Simon closed his eyes with a serious expression.
I couldn’t tell the two of them but he also had a guess.
What if all of this was the work of ‘Mur’ who belonged to the 7th Legion? Peer also said that among the captains of the 7th Corps Mur was the most dangerous guy.
And above all.
‘Ancient undead.’
The Ancient Undead is an entity that has existed for over a thousand years. Mur may have had a longer lifespan than the other Ancient Undead.
If Mur is the originator of ancient black magic and if he was trying to use some kind of black magic using a living sacrifice…
‘I have to hurry.’
Simon got up from his seat.
“Enough of speculation let’s move.”
Everyone nodded at Simon’s words. The girl also stopped crying as if she had just calmed down and Kamibarez asked in a kind voice.
“Could you take us to where Professor Hong Feng is being held?”
“yes.”
The girl gave a small nod and pointed to the narrow aisle.
“This way.”
* * *
Simon’s group and the meadow girl frantically wandered inside the ancient temple.
It was like a maze. Perhaps because it was a facility for ancestral rites or black magic it was not an efficient space design for humans.
There were many passageways that elongated creatures like snakes could pass through and many spaces that were presumed to have been used to pass decomposed human flesh over the walls.
She was a small girl so she could freely come and go in places like this.
“…My lower body got stuck!”
The rest of the group was struggling.
Still I managed to get in. Especially after Dick developed a way to get out after applying a slippery potion on the wall I was able to move on relatively easily.
“I’ll go first!”
Next to the girl Kamibarez who was the smallest was in charge of reconnaissance. She slipped into a small passage checked for monsters and natives and signaled her party was safe.
After passing through such a stinky and cramped maze-like section the party entered a fairly spacious space for the first time.
“Ugh alive.”
Meirin stretched her back and cried. Dick chuckled.
“I feel the need to diet… billion!”
He ducked his head to avoid Meirin’s kick and hid behind Kamibarez. Simon straightened his back and looked around him.
‘This is…’
The walls of this room were inscribed with all sorts of strange letters.
In fact it was ambiguous to even call it letters. Primitive hieroglyphs almost pictorial. Simon skimmed through the contents slowly.
“This is it.”
Dick who was also looking at the pictures on the wall raised his arm. What appeared to be part of a human corpse was drawn.
“Heart kidneys liver. And look here. They say that if you mix something with the heart it will make ‘rain’.”
“…That’s right. It is said that if you add something to the tongue and leather a ‘snake’ will be created. I guess this is where the black magic formula using living sacrifices is written.”
Kamibarez and the girl hugged each other with frightened faces.
Merlin sighed.
“I understand that you guys have a strong desire for adventure but do it in moderation right?”
As she said I wanted to interpret more but there is no time. Saving Hongfeng is the priority.
Without even time to stretch their backs the group decided to start again.
“oh.”
Dick who had been walking fast for fear of getting hit by Meilin again pointed forward.
“I see a wide passage over there. Can I go over there?”
“No not there…”
Woo woo woo!
Everyone flinched at the sudden sound and lowered their stance. Suddenly a magic circle began to spread on the floor.
rattle!
rattle!
Every corner of the room opened like a door and the faceless bloody monsters we saw outside jumped out.
“D-I got caught!”
“run!”
Everyone ran to their tails. Bloody monsters screamed and chased them.
< Ice Bolt >
< Blood Grenades >
Meirin and Kamibarez chanted black magic that could be used urgently and fired it but it bounced lightly.
It appears to be a fairly powerful summon made from corpses.
‘I see that Murr really exists.’
Simon stopped and looked back at the group.
“I’ll draw your attention! Everyone get out of the aisle over there!”
“what?”
Simon lured the monsters into a wide space in pitch darkness. Kamibarez who entered the aisle hurriedly stuck his head out.
“Poem Simon!”
“I’m fine Kami!”
Simon sent the Bone Needle to keep attracting the monsters’ attention.
“It’s just a division of roles! You guys keep going in and save Professor Hongfeng! Only the professor can solve this situation!”
Kamibarez looked at Simon with a worried face and then nodded.
“Yes Simon!”
“Believe!”
“I’ll be really mad if you get hurt!”
Dick and Mailyn also said one word and threw themselves into the narrow passage. Simon who was left alone continued to lure the monsters into a wide space.
I tried to attack with ‘bone spear’ or ‘mounted sword’ in the middle but it seemed to be a fairly powerful object and the surface was barely damaged. Even curses like slip had no effect.
‘Leave Professor Hongfeng’s escape to four people.’
Simon’s eyes sharpened.
‘I have to go see Mur.’
Simon looked around and found another narrow space and jumped into it. Monsters followed suit.
He was much larger than Simon but as he entered the confined space he shrunk to fit the space.
At this rate they will catch up. Peer is still missing and Prince’s ring is unresponsive. Simon opened the subspace.
“Hersheba!”
[What is it is it my turn again?]
Hersheba pops out of subspace and lands on Simon’s hand! Caught.
Simon slammed the floor with the tip of his staff.
< Golden Flower >
The narrow space around them turned golden and they narrowed the walls. He caught the jumping monsters with a narrow gap and distorted them.
Deed Dede Deuk!
“Kuk!”
Simon quickly shook his head back. The monster’s arm stretched out from the narrow gap and struggled in front of Simon’s nose but barely reached it.
Simon breathed a sigh of relief stepped back and distanced himself.
“Your strength may not have fully recovered yet but help me Hersheba.”
[Well I can’t! Do you have any plans?]
Simon got up from his seat.
“I have to meet Peer first. He must be in the meadow.”
* * *
Mailyn Dick and Kamibarez. And the meadow girl had to go deeper even after breaking up with Simon.
The underground maze had no end in sight. I don’t know how deep I’ve come but now I feel like I’m getting less oxygen to breathe.
“Is Simon going to be okay?”
Kamibarez looked worried. Dick said with great courage.
“Of course! You’ve seen what he’s done so far right? Let’s trust Simon for now.”
“Yes Dick!”
Then the meadow girl stretched out her arms.
“Now we’re all here! I always come down this aisle when I give Hongpeng-sama a meal!”
“good.”
Merlin’s expression became serious.
“We have to rescue Professor Hongfeng as soon as possible.”
Coming out of the narrow passage she looked around.
Soon her pupils widened rapidly.
“ah.”
In the dark where a handful of sunlight doesn’t shine properly.
On the moss-covered walls of the temple.
I saw the figure of a woman held in chains.
“…Tea I found it!”
“Really?”
A face everyone knows.
It was undoubtedly the Kizen’s Matushak professor Hong Peng.
