Necromancer School’s Summoning Genius Chapter 441
“….”
Malcolm and the red-haired boy confronted each other. Malcolm withdrew his surprised expression and let out a wry smile.
“What is this all about?”
“Did you think you wouldn’t know?”
The red-haired boy also answered without backing down.
“Information that the Randolph gang is targeting the Farona Peninsula has already come in. Your target is probably the ‘Deimos’ skull’ stored in the museum. And that’s it.”
The boy’s raised sword reflected the sunlight sparking his spirits.
“The son of the Randolph gang boss is on the scene himself. Need more explanation?”
“…It’s absurd.”
Malcolm shrugged.
“Then you know what? Before I belonged to the Randolph Gang Key…”
-It’s over. Don’t go back to Roch Island.
At that moment I remembered my father’s voice.
The word ‘kizen’ which I would normally have proudly uttered lingered in my mouth. His fists trembled.
‘Damn it.’
He was no longer a keygen or anything. He’s just a cheap criminal in a gang.
That fact hit me hard.
“Yeah fucking. It doesn’t matter now.”
tsussssss-
An afterimage appeared on Malcolm’s body and five copies of him that looked just like him scattered and landed on the ground.
I couldn’t tell the difference between real and fake. Not only their appearance and clothing but also their gait pose and movement of the chest when breathing were identical.
The red-haired boy put on a puzzled expression but soon sent a sword strike at Malcolm in the center.
puck!
Malcolm in the middle cut by the sword scattered like coal dust and disappeared. The remaining four Malcolms smirked.
“It’s basic to move the body’s position at the same time as casting. Aren’t you thinking too easily?”
tsussssss-
self-
The four Malcolms diverged once again to become the Eight Malcolms. The Eight Malcolms split again to become the Sixteen Malcolms.
“this!”
The boy surrounded on all sides looked around. Sixteen Malcolms spoke at the same time.
“Looking at the sword it must be a mercenary hired by the lord of Parona right? But.”
Tadadadadat!
Soon all the doppelgangers rushed at the red-haired boy.
“I met the wrong opponent this time!”
Remembrance!
“I’m not a brat!”
The boy charged forward with his sword. After slashing two clones with no unnecessary movements lower his body to evade attacks from the rear. The back foot was the main axis and the body was strongly rotated.
“My name is Arthur Bleman!”
The sword strike flashed like a crescent moon and at the same time the six doppelgangers scattered like coal dust.
Taat!
When his body rushed into the steel wire stopped in a posture of swinging a large sword countless sword wounds were drawn all at once on the bodies of the remaining doppelgangers left behind.
chuck!
He gently lowered his sword and raised the scabbard.
“Undeservedly I inherited the title of Mercenary King!”
click!
The moment the sword was delivered the sword image flashed like an explosion. All the doppelgangers turned to dust and scattered ephemerally.
‘…You bastard.’
Malcolm frowned.
It must have been pitch black just now.
‘Was it a necromancer?’
Besides such a young guy is the mercenary king.
I’ve heard rumors. But was the name of the mercenary king ‘Arthur’? No matter how I think about it I think it was a different name.
“Give up!”
Arthur threw a sword strike and Malcolm’s body split in half as he was contemplating.
When Arthur clicked his tongue and turned around there were ten other Malcolms in the same pose.
‘I don’t know if he’s the real mercenary king or not but this guy named Arthur is stronger than I thought. It’s hard to subdue him in a short period of time.’
Malcolm’s contemplative gaze slipped toward the museum.
‘Especially on the day Simon Pollentia comes down after hearing the commotion it’s over. Let’s get out of here.’
“I will not continue to fall for the same method!”
Arthur shouted excitedly and stretched out his left arm.
The jet black like ink flowed from his grip and was scattered in the air and soon settled into a magic circle.
< Moon Head >
Arthur grabbed the sword with both hands and cut the magic circle.
Then the silver-glossy wind spread out in a wide area.
Chew!
Chow ah!
All doppelgangers that came within range were hit and disappeared.
“Keugh!”
And between these doppelgangers there was also Malcolm’s body. Few! Few! With the sound scratches appeared all over his arms and legs and blood splattered.
‘You child! Until the range!’
“I found it!”
Arthur immediately lowered himself to the ground and charged Malcolm.
Since it is still within the influence of the blizzard it will be hit and disappear only if you use a doppelganger.
“…It can’t be helped.”
Saying that Malcolm took out a bottle or something from his bosom.
“Looks like you’ve gone through the Randolph gang so you know what this is?”
Arthur’s eyes widened rapidly.
‘Liquid bomb!’
It was the special explosives of the Randolph gang that exploded in pitch darkness. Malcolm poured jet black into the liquid bomb without hesitation.
Kiyiying!
A dazzling flash of light erupted from the liquid bomb. Arthur slammed on the brakes and came to a stop.
“Now wait! If you do that you too…!”
Malcolm’s figure was obscured by the flashing light but a bitter smile hung on his face as he managed to see it.
“It’s okay. I’m fed up with this life now.”
“Oh no!!”
Aaaaaaaaaaagh!
Eventually the liquid bomb exploded.
Arthur’s body fell apart in the aftermath. He belatedly braced his legs drove his sword into the ground then raised his head and looked ahead.
“Malcolm Randolph!!”
At the site of the explosion thick smoke was rising. After standing there with a dazed expression for a moment Arthur dropped her on one knee on the floor.
“What an idiot!”
He hit the floor hard with his fist.
“You can just pay for your sins in prison! What’s the point of taking your own life! Was your life worthless to give up so easily!”
Arthur screamed but of course there was no answer.
“I was only thinking of subduing it! It was a lie to blow my head off! Why!!”
Arthur hit the floor several times as if blaming himself.
After blaming himself like that for a while he activated the crystal ball on his arm with a sullen look on his face.
Ugh!
A blurry silhouette of a woman was visible in the crystal ball.
-Hey Mercenary King! I’ve been waiting to see Did you catch Malcolm?
“I’m sorry.”
With a weeping voice Arthur raised the crystal ball and showed the scene of the explosion.
“Malcolm Randolph took his own life. I could have stopped it! I could have stopped it!!”
-….
It must have been a specially remodeled artifact and it seemed like Arthur’s side could be seen even from the woman’s side.
however.
The woman in the crystal ball was silent for a moment as she watched the explosion.
-…Hey you asshole.
“yes?”
-That’s just a smoke grenade!!
Arthur was startled and stood up from his seat.
“Gee really?”
-okay! Where in the world is there a bomb that just blows smoke without anything like that!
As Arthur swung his sword through the explosion smoke Malcolm was gone without a trace. As she said the damage around her was minor for a bomb.
“Uh huh? There’s no way that’s the case…”
Arthur made a stupid face.
– What can’t be!
“I’m sure you have a vicious liquid bomb on your profile so be careful… There was no talk of smoke bombs! It’s real!”
– Aaaaagh! This is frustrating!
“I wouldn’t have been fooled if I had been told to beware of smoke bombs!”
-You’re actually not the mercenary king but the fool king!
Arthur bowed his head with a sullen expression and the woman shouted in a fiery rage.
– I can’t live! Find something before Malcolm does anything! hurry!
“Yes yes!”
* * *
Meanwhile Simon’s group had left the museum and were walking along the market street.
“Oh wow! It was fun!”
Meirin who had been walking in the lead stretched all the way. Simon asked looking at Dick.
“Dick where are you going next?”
“I’m going to go to ‘Whale Hill’ beforehand.”
Hearing that Kamibarez blinked.
“Isn’t that where Deimos will go tomorrow when he passes the sea?”
“That’s true. Even without Deimos the scenery is still good. I’m going to go for a walk.”
“Ah! If we’re going tomorrow anyway let’s just go back to the dorm!”
Merlin said with a twinkle in her eyes.
“Actually the whole time I was listening to the explanation about the museum I thought I was going crazy because of the student council idea! Have a meeting at the dorm!”
“…The student council activities haven’t started yet aren’t you working too hard?”
“Of course you have to work hard.”
Strength went into Meirin’s shoulders.
“I’m going to carry the 330th student council! I’m going to make it the best student council ever!”
“You’re starting to get tired already. Simon if you become student council president in your third year let’s make the vice president a little quieter. Lorraine or something.”
“Can you stay in Kizen until the 3rd year? You 400th rank commoner!”
“Don’t two fight again!”
Seeing the same scene as always Simon smiled.
“I have cool ice cream~”
Just then I saw a vendor walking with a bucket of ice cream on his back. Meirin was delighted.
“Aren’t you going to pull something sweet?”
“Okay let’s buy some.”
“mister!”
Merlin ran away. The merchant also found her and said.
“Welcome! Pretty student.”
“Four ice creams please…”
puck!
Fresh blood gushed from the merchant’s body.
Hot blood splattered on her face and the expressions of Dick and Kamivarez who were walking behind her hardened.
– Kyakyak.
Something green glowed in the eye with sharp claws stretched from behind.
The merchant collapsed and it came to Meirin. Suddenly covered in her own blood she was frozen like a stone statue.
Tuong!
Simon was the first to react. His kick lifted the monster’s arm.
Then Dick who came to his senses took out a dagger from his belt and threw it. Enchanted daggers were successively embedded in the monster’s body and Kami Barez jumped in with her purple hair fluttering.
< Blood Strike >
Kwak!
The monster that hit her abdomen with the magic circle on her hand flew away and crashed into the building wall.
< Ice Bolt >
Kwaddeuddeuk!
Lastly the monster stuck in Meirin’s ice sculpture dies as it is. Reflexively casting her magic Mei Lin staggered and sat down in her seat.
“Me Meirin!”
Simon approached in surprise. She raised her palm to signal that she was okay.
“Sorry. I was just surprised.”
As she muttered she waved her hand. A magic circle was completed one after another in the air and she sent ice into the air.
Fuck! puck! puck!
Simon raised his head in surprise as blood dripped from the sky. Other green monsters surrounding him were pierced by ice picks.
“Huh!”
“Ah ah ah ah!”
Tourists and merchants who saw the monster’s corpse screamed and ran away.
“Ha I was startled.”
Meirin grumbled and approached to examine the fallen monster.
“Naga. They live in the sea but they can walk on land. The weak ones have a level 2 risk and the strong ones up to level 3. But why are they in the city?”
Kamivarez was sniffing with his eyes closed.
“Simon! I smell the same blood all over the place. The naga are raiding the entire Farona Peninsula!”
After thinking for a moment Simon looked at Dick.
“Dick. Any guesses?”
“Okay.”
Dick got up from his seat.
“Basically Nagas are level 5 danger and absolutely obey the orders of an entity called ‘Naga Queen’. Should I say ‘Alpha’? Nagas obey only the wavelength of the Naga Queen so they are free from the waves of Deimos the ruler of the sea.”
Meirin said.
“I don’t know why but the Naga Queens came to the Parona Peninsula? Maybe the Queens united.”
“good.”
Simon said.
“Everyone change into Kizen school uniforms split into three and protect the people.”
“Are you Simon?”
“I’ll have to go around a little wider to find the queen and catch her. And then.”
In Simon’s mind he remembered a man he had seen at the Deimos Museum.
“There is one thing I want to check.”
