Necromancer School’s Summoning Genius Chapter 587
imitator.
These monsters with rather unique names are native monsters that appear only in the ‘Freegod Autonomous Region’.
Its appearance looks like a vague mix of monkey and human its limbs are long and limp and its head is unusually long.
These vaguely human-like monsters had one strange characteristic which was that they were very obsessed with ‘imitating humans’.
It started with hunting.
The warriors of the ‘Gahal tribe’ the natives of this place rode horses into the forest and enjoyed mimicry hunting.
Back then mimics were monsters that couldn’t run properly because of their long limbs like a screw missing somewhere. The warriors would show off their bravery by piling up the corpses of the mimics they slaughtered like mountains.
One day when copycat hunting was popular suddenly all the warriors who went hunting went missing. Subsequent pursuers found no trace and the mimicry hunt ceased for the time being.
not long after that The incident in question has occurred.
Mimics came out of the forest and invaded human territory.
They mounted horses captured from men shot arrows like men plundered men’s property and burned houses.
They even performed a ritual where they piled up the corpses of slaughtered people like a mountain and danced round and round.
Due to the sudden ‘hunting of humans’ by mimics all the Gahal people who lived outside the fort were forced to lock themselves inside the fort.
The imitators took possession of villages and vast pastures and their impersonation of humans became more and more explicit. They began cultivating the fields like humans raised their own horses and livestock and ate their meat.
The population of mimics increased explosively and what they followed after hunting was none other than hunting.
It was ‘war’.
The mimics who watched as the infighting broke out between the Gahal tribes fighting each other and taking the fortress started a war to occupy the fortress.
Only after the six forts were taken the Gahal tribe stopped the civil war they were fighting among themselves and joined forces to resist the imitators but it was already too late. Mimics handled human weapons and even imitated human skills such as swordsmanship and spearmanship.
Like that the Gahal tribe lost most of their territories and fortresses to monsters and now only one of the 40 fortresses was left.
Du-du-du-du-du-!
That night five large war wagons led by skeleton horses were crossing the forest.
“The briefing is ideal.”
The assistant instructor who sat in the front seat of the carriage bowed his head politely.
A heavy atmosphere flowed among the students who were sitting and checking their weapons and undead.
“A monster that imitates a human?”
The student sitting across from Simon smiled incredulously.
“What would happen if we left such dangerous things unattended? What if we became the king of the North? What the hell is Shaheed doing?”
“Hey why is Shahhead out there?”
The student who appeared to be from Shahed frowned.
“I’m not saying this because X is incompetent.”
“What’s up?”
“I’ll explain for you.”
The assistant hurriedly set out to make amends.
“The Prigord Autonomous District is prohibited from interfering in the internal affairs of the Shahed Kingdom as well as sending troops. In order for the Shahed to move they must obtain approval from the Prigord Chiefs’ Council but the Gahals are refusing any support.”
All races in the Autonomous District of Prigord are extremely reluctant to allow the soldiers of the Shahed Kingdom to enter the Autonomous District because of its bloody history.
“Still due to the nature of ‘imitators’ scholars believe that if there are no humans to imitate around them they will not expand their territory outside. Accordingly the Shahed Kingdom and the Chiefs’ Council recommended abandoning the fortress but only the last fortress was left. The family declared that they could not abandon their hometown and would fight until the end.”
“…Um.”
“So Professor Grerion a native of Prigord made an offer to them.”
We are the Necromancers of Kizen not the Shahed Kingdom.
We will send students not warmongering soldiers.
We want their bodies.
If you give up all of that I can fight alongside you.
‘That’s how it happened.’
Simon nodded slowly. It’s not a kingdom it’s an independent organization called Kizen and it’s not an army but children who are still students.
He cleverly circumvents the rules of the Gahal tribe.
They said they only wanted the corpses of monsters without any other interests so the strategically inferior Gahal tribe finally decided to accept the support.
“That’s absurd.”
A male student with a scar on the side of his mouth crossed his arms.
“The Kizen students who have wartime command within the alliance must be more threatening than the army.”
“You must have been in a hurry.”
A flirting sound was heard everywhere. Even in the situation ahead of a big war everyone seemed to have a sense of composure on their faces probably because they were in the second grade.
Now their topic has moved on to how to get their hands on ‘Guardian’ the best durahan material no matter what the imitator is.
Mimics serve the Guardian a monster higher than themselves as the ‘king’. If the mimics move somehow they will also appear on this battlefield.
– Attention everyone!
At that time a loud cry was heard from the communication crystal port inside the carriage.
-From now on we will break through the siege of monsters and enter the last fortress of the Gahal tribe!
The faces of the students who were exchanging jokes finally became serious.
-You guys are participating in the war as combatants not students! Each and every one of you is a mighty force that has been carefully nurtured in Kizen! I’m not going to give you instructions on how to fight. Move freely as an equal necromancer!
Simon looked out the window as he listened to Grerion’s speech. I saw a group of dark monsters staring at this side with their breath held.
-Jeon Woo-jo is set as the jowon designated by Professor Aron! In the unlikely event that a defector occurs I will handle expulsion myself! All members of the group who have deserted have the lowest score in the performance evaluation related to Durahan. Take care of your colleagues!
clap.
clap.
The window of the battle wagon opened. The students prepared black magic outside the window. Some students prepared for a long-distance attack by taking out a summons from subspace.
Simon also took out his Skeleton Mage and prepared it.
-If you can’t survive on a battlefield like this you’ll be killed in a real war against the Priests! All students do whatever it takes to survive!
“yes!”
Kiy!
Kruck!
Monsters began to rush towards the wagon. Skeleton Horse’s running speed increased.
“preparation.”
The last carriage number 5 was to be commanded by Simon. At his direction the magic circle completely unfolded in various places.
Simon shouted as the distance between the monsters narrowed to the nose of the carriage.
“Shoot!”
With a deafening roar colorful black magic and curses poured out of the window. The monsters that were trying to cling to the wagon tumbled across the floor.
“It’s a hit!”
“It’s cool inside! Get rid of everything!”
Excited students fired black magic out of the window. Signaling the attack by Simon’s wagon which was at the rear the other wagons also started attacking.
Since there were more than 10 students riding in one battle wagon it was truly enormous firepower.
thud! thud!
Simon was also fighting with a Skeleton Mage but footsteps were heard from the ceiling of the carriage. Simon moved immediately.
“Lorraine I’ll leave the command!”
“Where are you going?”
“above!”
Simon pulled himself out of the window and climbed onto the ceiling of the carriage with an elastic movement.
‘There are two opponents.’
I saw a mimic with a sword and a mimic with a long spear.
Simon gestured leisurely as if to come in.
Chew!
The mimic holding the spear momentarily threw out the long spear. It wasn’t just a rough shot it was really human ‘spearmanship’.
Simon avoided it by bending his back then gathered jet black on the tip of his toe and tapped the center of the spearhead.
Daeae-!
The spear pole rose wildly and the mimic lost the spear. Simon spun his body in place and kicked the face of the sword-wielding mimic.
The impersonator fell out of the wagon and Simon grabbed the long spear that had fallen to the floor as if it were a linking action and threw it down toward the abdomen of the last mimic.
swish
Simon threw out the window and lightly brushed his hands.
‘Okay it’ll be fine as it is…’
cooong!
“Aww!”
“Quaaaaaaa!”
Out of nowhere the carriage tilted sharply. A black monster hit the wagon with its head.
Simon who was on the ceiling of the carriage was thrown out as it was.
“Oh no! Simon!!”
Toto’s urgent cry resonated like an echo. Simon who fell from the wagon was falling into a crowd of monsters.
‘…Concentration.’
Simon’s brain heated up. Cognition expanded time slowed and judgment clarified.
Simon’s fingertips moved toward the moving carriage.
< Cloud >
A blue-green rope clung to the wagon. Simon drew jet black to his legs kicked his mimic in the head and landed on a nearby tree.
-Keeeeeeeeeee!
In an instant the mimics below surrounded the tree where Simon was. In front of it countless mimics were chasing the wagon.
< Bone Armor >
Simon calmly opened the subspace and took out his armor and put it on. He held Cloud attached to the wagon with both hands and held on until his tension reached its limit.
‘now!’
Then he just jumped out of the tree. Simon’s body flew towards the wagon in a straight line crashing into the monsters behind him.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak!
Monsters that collided with Simon bounced off in all directions. Simon broke through the monsters and came back on top of the wagon.
“nice!”
“As expected! I’m the student council president!”
I heard the cheers of my classmates in the carriage. Simon raised his head.
‘That side is also in earnest from the beginning.’
Roaring!
Hector who had transformed into a sea dragon raised his combat chariot with his strong legs and was blowing his breath to reduce the monsters to ashes.
Aseraj and other students were also fighting on top of the wagon.
“Are you okay? Simon!”
Worried Lorraine climbed onto the wagon as well.
“I’m fine! What about the other kids?”
“All is well!”
“Hoejaang! Lorraine-nim!”
At that time Eshu stuck his head out the window.
“It’s a big deal! Totoga!”
Something must have happened. Tears welled up in her eyes.
“what’s the matter?”
“Toto jumped out of the carriage to save the president! I must have thought it fell earlier! What should I do!”
Lorraine’s expression grew serious and Simon was running away before he could hear her words.
“Eshu! Tell me the location!”
“The back of the wagon! It just fell without a countermeasure!”
The back of the carriage was already teeming with mimics. But Simon jumped out of the wagon without hesitation.
Then he crossed his arms and took a crouching position.
charrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
Skeleton bones shot from the air and covered Simon’s body.
< Bone Armor – Heavy Armor Type >
Cuckoo!
In an instant Simon changed into thick bone gloves and fell to the floor crushing the monsters.
“Toto!”
He ran wildly hurting the mimics. Just by swinging his arms as if swimming the bodies of the monsters swooped out and fell.
Of course the mimics’ weaponry couldn’t pierce Simon’s heavy armor.
“Hoejaaang!”
good!
But something came up on top of Simon’s heavy armor. Simon raised his head in surprise.
“Eh Eshu?!”
She waved her arms precariously as if trying to balance then barely stopped.
“Don’t look up from there! It’s embarrassing!”
chuck.
chuck.
As she centered herself she spread her arms and her little cursed dolls were scattered in all directions.
“Light up the surroundings!”
Aaaaaaaaa!
Faaaa!
Ten cursed dolls that floated in the air created dazzling light. The monsters shrank from the sudden flash of light.
“I can’t leave Toto alone! I’ll assist you so keep going!”
“….”
Simon however was silent for a moment as if he was lost in thought.
Staring silently ahead he suddenly turned his back and began to turn in the direction of the carriage.
“What what are you doing!”
Surprised Eshu tapped Simon’s bone armor.
“Why are you back already? You weren’t going to save Toto?!”
“If you did this much it’s enough. Eshu.”
Her expression hardened in despair.
“Enough? What’s enough! Are you talking about throwing away Toto now?”
Kruck!
The imitators who looked quite large blocked the way with their shields. Simon paused for a moment and said.
“It’s not like that.”
“That’s it! Do you think Toto is dead? He might still be alive! We have to save him…!”
snap!
Simon grabbed Eshu with the hand of his enlarged bone armor.
“Ugh let go of this! I’ll go alone!”
“Toto is definitely a kid. Didn’t you say you went to rescue me?
Simon took off his heavy armor and climbed up. Heavy Armor grabbed Simon’s body with the other hand and threw him into the air with Eshu.
“Ah ah ah ah!”
Two people flew through the air. Simon pretended to cross his two fingers.
The heavy armor that had lost its owner left on the battlefield disintegrated into bones with a crackling sound and flew into the air.
Soon Eshu was given a set of Bone armor and Simon himself was wearing one. The armor’s ‘gravity’ function allowed it to stay in the air longer.
“Simon! Esch! Grab it!”
Lorraine who had been waiting in the wagon threw a jet-black twisted chain. As the two grabbed the end of the chain Lorraine pulled.
thud!
The two came down as if crashing into a carriage.
“haha.”
“Nice Lorraine.”
Simon took off his armor with a tired face. Eshu still had a blank expression.
“Then Toto is…”
Simon who had been concentrating with his eyes closed for a moment noticed a new tremor next to the carriage and smiled slightly.
“come.”
Aaaaaaaang!
From the side of the wagon a death worm controlled by Toto broke through the ground and popped out.
“Huh?”
“I told you.”
It happened because the timing was off but if it was Toto he had the ability to save his comrades and get out of there.
The reason Simon jumped off the carriage in the first place was just to let Toto know that he was safe.
Soon the insect monster’s mouth opened wide and spat out something. Toto covered in stinky liquid landed on the carriage ceiling.
“ah!”
Toto splashed the slimy liquid and raised his head.
“Everyone is safe!”
“you stupid!”
Eshu stood up.
“You run out because you’re crazy? What are you saying go save the president!”
“Mi-sorry…!”
Simon and Lorraine met their eyes and smiled.
Aaron who had been on top of the wagon with the communication crystal ball in his hand came down again.
“The situation is over. The students overcame it on their own Professor Grerion.”
“Of course you do!”
Grerion who was sitting in the lead carriage laughed heartily.
“Originally students grow up making mistakes like this! You’re too overprotective.”
“Is that so.”
After recovering his skeleton Aaron raised his head. On the ceiling of the carriage I could see the 10-member crew smiling and clasping each other’s shoulders.
That’s how I safely broke through the siege of monsters. Now they could see a great wall in front of them.
“It’s not over yet. Be nervous.”
Aaron lifted the communication crystal ball.
“I will enter the fortress from now on.”
