Necromancer School’s Summoning Genius Chapter 569
Tower of Time plan.
In the first place the Ivory Tower’s plan was to move to the neutral zone and form a third zone and they had been preparing to do so but the owner of the Ivory Tower and his aides went a step further.
Even the same ‘radicals’ know about this plan very few.
The owner of the ivory tower said that after releasing the seal of the ‘frozen clock’ he would make it run wild beyond the gate crisis. The main point of the plan was to move the tower which literally became a huge ‘time bomb’ to Rock Island and explode it.
Simon who was listening to the story asked with a dazed expression.
“Well then what will happen?”
“How is it?”
Serene raised an eyebrow.
“According to research the scope of the ‘time bomb’ reaches at least all of Roch Island and the nearby sea and even parts of Langerstine. Kijen will be caught in the yoke of eternal time and completely destroyed.”
Reproducing the past in the Tower of Time right now is nothing more than medicine. When the gate to the Ivory Tower opened and the dungeon was activated it was truly a catastrophe.
The ivory tower owners of the previous era who had already died appeared to block it and even future figures appeared. There were also those who were caught in the present and did nothing but repeat the same actions.
“The coolest thing about this plan is that at least Nephthys can be definitely wiped out.”
Cerne held her hands together and smiled brightly.
“Because she has the supernatural power of time she must be more bound to time like a tangled skein. Maybe this is her only chance to catch Nephthys.
“….”
“I plan to place all these sins on ‘Girdon’ the master of spatial magic. He who has a grudge against Keysen took over the 100th floor and counted as what he committed. After Keygen disappeared our Ivory Tower took over the Dark Alliance. will do.”
Simon felt his head throb after hearing such a shocking story.
“In that sense let me make a suggestion Simon.”
“…?”
“You don’t know how much I struggled to get you out of the dangerous island of Roch. Keygen’s destruction is a fait accompli and now the Dark Alliance will be occupied by our Ivory Tower.”
She spread her palms and smiled.
“Come to the Ivory Tower Simon.”
“….”
Simon who was staring at Cerne blankly let out a long sigh.
“The reason you want to recruit me is to unlock that ‘frozen clock’?”
Simon’s point was sharp.
There was one important obstacle in order to achieve the object they are talking about. It is to unlock the seal of the dungeon owner the ‘frozen clock’.
Once the seal is released you will be able to do anything even runaway.
But the ice that covered that watch was an indestructible kind of seal. Even the Greatsword of Destruction didn’t even scratch it.
“No way~”
Serene pretended to hug my cheek.
“Even Simon the commander of the corps can’t break the seal. It’s the ‘absolute seal’ magic that the Ice Bag mage risked his life 300 years ago.”
Simon’s eyes widened.
‘…Absolutely sealed?’
“It is a pure elemental magic that encloses the opponent in unbreakable ice and seals it forever instead of sacrificing the user’s life. And the only way to break the absolute seal is to use the same absolute seal magic again to break it.”
Simon’s mouth fell open.
“Wait a minute you have to sacrifice the user’s life?”
“Yes despite this it is a skill that not everyone can do. It is a skill that can only be performed by wizards who have received the protection of the spirits or by those who have inherited the blood of the Ice Bag Wizard in the Ivory Tower. But recently such a talent has been born. .”
she clicked her tongue.
“Do you know who it is? Simon must have known someone…”
“Serne!”
Simon shouted harshly.
“You can’t believe Meilin…!”
“You can’t save everyone. It’s an inevitable sacrifice.”
She gave a creepy smile.
“At least one person has no choice but to give up.”
Simon’s lips trembled.
“…Are you serious?”
“Yes I mean it. Simon rather than that? Come to the Ivory Tower. Coming here is the only way you can live.”
Simon gnashed his teeth.
“I will refuse any such offer to save my life.”
“Ah you’re not going to do that either.”
Serene’s face which had been smiling brightly froze coldly.
“Then I can’t help it.”
Her hair was flying. Countless white feathers flew around her and she spun around. Simon also put the Greatsword of Destruction in front.
“Isn’t it the first time we’ve fought since the island survival evaluation in first grade?”
The pitch black of the two soared up as if competing.
Battle with Serene.
Even if you use the power of the corps commander you can’t cover the superiority and inferiority. Simon slowly pulled the greatsword and Serene changed his feathers into the shape of a magic circle.
“Are you ready?”
“….”
The air tightened and the two pitch blacks collided.
The moment when the two are about to collide at any moment.
“Let’s quit.”
bang!
Simon lowered the tip of his greatsword first. Serene who was about to fight blinked with a puzzled face.
“Serne you may think you are the only one observing and analyzing others but that is an illusion. Others are also constantly observing and analyzing you.”
Simon’s breathing hardened.
“You always laugh like that when you’re testing others. When you’re joking around when you want to see the reaction when you fight Meirin and when you fight me.”
“is that so?”
Serene blinked her eyes as if she hadn’t known this for the first time. Simon spread his arms.
“If you really meant to make me your accomplice if you don’t want to die come into the ivory tower. You wouldn’t have persuaded me with stupid logic like this. You’ve seen enough of who I am.”
“….”
“You could have used me with a suitable lie but why bother revealing the whole truth just because you recruited. Why did you even say you were sacrificing Mei Lin? You want me to find out something from this information. Am I wrong?”
Simon’s eyes lit up.
“What do you really want? Serene.”
flaw.
Whoops.
Covering her face with her palms she shrugged and smiled.
“I can’t win.”
A complex expression of emotion appeared on her face as she separated her palms and let her arms hang down.
[Didn’t I tell you? Serene.]
Simon’s head turned at the sudden voice of a third person.
The ‘ghost of time’ he had been looking for so long was approaching.
[It’s pointless to look at this upright friend.]
The two seemed to know each other.
As Simon looked at the two with a puzzled look the ghost of time said.
[Cluck didn’t I tell you before? About the person who takes my research results.]
‘ah.’
-Sometimes I leave my research results by the window. There are also those who come every day to receive and eat it register for their own research and rise to the top of the ivory tower!
Was that Serene?
Simon now had some idea of how things were going. And the ghost of time said it was to prevent the tragedy of the tower and he seemed to know a little why he showed Serene and Meirin’s past.
[To reach the truth one last thing remains.]
A light flickered in his hand.
[A minute should be enough.]
Whoaaaaagh!
Simon’s vision was covered.
* * *
– At this rate I will die soon. will you follow me
-From today I am your father. I’ll make you the greatest man on the continent.
Young Cerne entered the Ivory Tower following the leader of the Ivory Tower.
As the ivory tower owner had warned everyone here hated and criticized her.
but.
– Hello Serene! I’m Maylin Is this your first time here? let’s play together!
In this unfamiliar space Meirin was a ray of hope for Serene.
This child who should be wary of the existence of Cerne the most was kind to her more than anyone else. Adults who were carrying out political offensives must have felt ashamed as well as sharp public opinion.
That’s how Cerne and Meirin became close friends.
They were the most precious to each other.
-I’m going to be an ivory tower owner when I grow up.
Meilin seriously aimed for the position of the owner of the ivory tower.
– I promise you Meirin. I will make you an ivory tower.
Serene also supported that dream.
They had no doubt that this friendship would last forever.
but.
The moment you know the truth everything breaks.
The owner of the Ivory Tower who neglected Serne without giving her any affection other than studying magic called her into his room one day.
“It’s wonderful.”
The owner of the ivory tower said in admiration. What he put down on the desk was the ‘Ice Marble’ frozen by Serene. It wasn’t enough that the marbles were frozen so there were jagged icicles.
“Do you know what kind of item these ice beads are?”
At the question of the ivory tower Serene shook her head.
“I haven’t heard much about it. It’s just that adults say that if you freeze this marble you’re a great wizard…”
“okay.”
After removing the ice that covered the ice beads the ivory tower owner set them down on the table.
“This is an orb created by the ‘Ice Bag Mage’ who sealed the Tower of Time 300 years ago to train her freezing magic.”
“ah….”
“In order to freeze this orb you need an innate talent for freezing magic.
The owner of the ivory tower used freezing magic on the beads but the beads did not freeze even though the enormous magic moved. Only the desk below the child was frozen solid.
“Since the Ice Bag Wizard there are only two wizards who have frozen even a little bit of this marble with mana.”
“….”
The ivory tower owner put down the marble.
“We the Ivory Tower have been looking for a child with the same blessing as the Ice Bag Mage for a long time.”
“Why? If it’s a strong magician even if it’s not an ice barrier…”
“To unlock the ‘absolute seal’ placed by the ice bag mage.”
The owner of the ivory tower explained the plan for the ivory tower which had been in preparation for a long time.
Plans for relocation to the Neutral Zone. And absolute sealing magic used at the cost of life. This absolute seal can only be broken with the same absolute seal.
After hearing the explanation Serene jumped up in surprise.
“Now wait a minute! In that case…!”
“okay.”
The ivory tower owner closed his eyes.
“Meirin becomes the owner of the Ivory Tower at the age of 20. And as a being who has to protect the tower she will sacrifice her own life to honor the noble will of the tower and break the seal in the Tower of Time.”
“…!”
Serene whose mouth was still wide open burst into anger.
“Uh why? It’s unacceptable! Why does Mei Lin have to sacrifice for the tower? Mei Lin’s will!”
“It’s an honor. Human life is short but her name will forever be in the ivory tower.”
“What’s the point of leaving a name when you die unfairly! That’s not sacrifice it’s murder!”
It was the first time Serne had shown such a rebellious attitude so the owner of the ivory tower was surprised inside. But he said it calmly.
“Sacrifice is inevitable. If time passes like this our ivory tower will be caught up in the kizen and torn to pieces.”
He slowly placed his hand on Serene’s head.
“Because you’re a clever child trust me you’ll understand. And from now on don’t do anything to attract the attention of adults by freezing beads of ice. It’s Meirin who will unseal the frozen clock. After she dies if you become the owner of the Ivory Tower… …..”
Percussion!
Cerne roughly removed the hand of the ivory tower owner and held the ice marble in his hand.
“No father. Meirin is not capable of that.”
Charleureuk!
When she applied power to the ice beads the ice surged up.
“Look at this! I’ve frozen this many beads of ice! Meirin can’t do this!”
In the first place everything is based on the premise that Meirin can break the absolute seal.
Is it possible to unlock the absolute seal by simply freezing the surface of the ice beads? If it failed only Meirin’s life would be lost.
Serene was appealing to that blind spot.
“Serne you are our hope. The perfect you sacrificed in exchange for that defective one…”
she cried with her red eyes.
“Let me be clear I cannot concede this!”
“Serne!”
“I’m going to be the owner of the ivory tower!!”
she cried out without stopping.
“I’m the one who will break the absolute seal…!”
tadadak-
Then I heard footsteps in the distance. Cerne winced and turned his head away but the footsteps had already died away.
“Are you serious about that? Are you saying you’re going to die instead of him?”
The ivory tower stared at her with a heavy gaze.
“Yes I mean it.”
Serene gritted her teeth.
“From now on I will become the owner of the Ivory Tower by any means and methods. And I will break the absolute seal with my own hands.”
* * *
Shaaaaaaa-
This was the end of the reminiscence of the past. In the blurred vision Simon fell into great confusion.
‘Then Serene from the beginning…’
Everything was for Meirin.
The reason why she tried to become the owner of the ivory tower was to gain the qualification to break the absolute seal and sacrifice herself in place of Meirin.
The fact that Cerne provoked and stimulated Maylin and the fact that she mainly used jet-black flames was a self-rescue measure to prevent Meirin from becoming bound to herself and growing her main skill freezing magic.
-I’ll promise. I will make you an ivory tower.
Serene didn’t lie.
If she sacrifices herself and disappears the position of the next owner of the Ivory Tower will naturally go to Meirin.
‘That’s…!’
Simon bit his lip hard.
The blurry vision soon returned to normal.
“!”
Simon felt his limbs pinned to the wall. The feathers were stuck in his body so pitch black didn’t come out. He doesn’t even feel the thoughts of the undead.
I looked ahead. The ghost of time bowed his head with a confused expression and Serene smiled.
“Eh what are you doing? Serene!”
“I’m sorry Simon. Please stay like that for a moment.”
Serene said that and went towards the ‘frozen clock’.
“Leave me free Simon will tear me apart.”
“You no way…!”
She put her hand on the frozen watch.
“Do you remember fighting together in Tarados? When I entered the dungeon occupied by the ‘committals’ I was watching the whole situation with a feather.”
“Serne! Wait! Unpack this and tell me!”
She clicked her tongue.
“Looking at it~ I noticed that Simon’s Greatsword of Destruction had a new function added. It was the ability to absorb the dungeon master and control the dungeon maybe?”
“…!”
“If I break the absolute seal from now on I will die. If I die the magic that sealed Simon will also be released. Then-”
Serene smiled brightly.
“Use Simon’s sword to absorb the sealed Dungeon Master and take control of this dungeon.”
That was the only way to stop the Ivory Tower Master’s plan Serene judged.
Simon’s expression twisted in pain.
“Didn’t you hate Kizen? Why…! Why did you go that far and betray the owner of the Ivory Tower?”
“because-“
Serene smiled.
“Because my father the owner of the Ivory Tower was the leader of the ‘Order’.”
“…what?”
“I thought that Simon and Lorraine took half of the materials in the Tarados Dungeon but in fact I also took some secretly. There was an interesting person’s name on the member list there.”
A chill crept into her eyes.
“A human being is only that. We may be able to destroy the keygen this time but that is not the way for our ivory tower to become great but rather being eaten and played by ‘community’. I can’t stand that. If we get rid of the keygen maybe They’ll try to eat the Dark Alliance.”
“Serne…!”
“More than anything.”
Serene smiled brightly.
“Isn’t that human trying to kill Simon? Annoying.”
-Sacrifice is inevitable.
“Sacrifice is inevitable. You and Meirin. This is the only way to save both of you.”
Cerne let go of the frozen watch and slowly approached Simon.
Then he smiled and touched Simon’s cheek.
“Simon do you remember when we first met in first grade?”
“….”
“In the island survival evaluation I and Lorraine were fighting and Simon stepped in and boldly asked for help. Then the three of us joined forces to defeat that huge undead.”
“Serne…!”
“Oh and do you remember teaching me how to differentiate the inside of the body during Matou class? I secretly hugged her back then.”
One of the things you fought together with the saintess of purification.
Two of the things that destroyed the society together in Tarados.
Serene spoke calmly with her hair hanging down. Every time Cerne talked about her coupons memories with her came flooding back to her like a panorama.
“This is my last request. I haven’t filled all 10 pages yet but I’ll use all of these coupons.”
With a trembling voice she placed her hand on Simon’s chest.
“If I die Simon please stop the Ivory Tower Master’s plan okay?”
As she removed her hand from Simon’s cheek and walked away Simon struggled wildly.
“Serne!! Wait!”
Simon shouted.
“Don’t! I’ll try my best! There must be a better way! You don’t have to die here! Please…!”
“sorry.”
She activated the black magic prepared by Serene. A magic circle spread all over her body and the ceiling and walls swayed as if the magic circle resonated.
She hugged the ‘frozen clock’ with her body covered in magic circles.
“I’m fine Simon.”
“Serne eh eh!”
A dazzling light and a roar covered the ice.
