Necromancer School’s Summoning Genius Chapter 897
That night.
The expedition set up a tent and camped in a place a little away from the barrier that imprisoned the Currokers.
Some including Phantasus lay down and fell asleep as soon as the tent was opened and some including Simon sat around the campfire and talked to see if there were still aftertaste.
“Come to think of it there was no income after all.”
One of the expedition members frowned and said.
“It’s not like we risked our lives to hear an apology. Killing a ‘crazy dragon’ is unacceptable. You can’t even see it. Then what are you going to do?”
Simon’s request.
Seeing the Currokers was ultimately rejected with the dragons’ staunch objection.
Judging from the experience of the past hundreds of years the human race was absolutely untrustworthy and the reason was that if they were sent into the barrier something would surely happen.
The other crew members sitting around the bonfire didn’t look too good either. In particular the face of the female member who initially protested had turned black.
“What are you going to do now?”
The oldest man here swept his sword and looked at Simon.
“It doesn’t matter if we’re in this expedition the money will come in all the time but we won’t be able to avoid war at this rate.”
“….”
Simon who was lost in thought with his pods on didn’t have a particularly sharp tip.
Entering the barrier was rejected but fighting the dragons only accelerated war and catastrophe.
“It’s late at night.”
Simon said as he ran a hand through his messy hair.
“Rather than sharing my thoughts here I think it would be better to discuss the countermeasures with everyone tomorrow.”
Talking while warming up here will only make your anger towards the dragon more intense. The other members of the expedition team nodded and agreed and soon went inside the tent one by one leaving their vigils behind.
One tent per team. After laying down on the floor with several layers of soft rugs it was not a bad place to sleep even on the heap of ashes.
As soon as I closed my eyes like that by the time I fell asleep.
– Simon Simon! wake up.
Simon woke up to the sound of a voice calling him. His familiar face was shining in his eyes.
“Eh Senior Azel?”
“Shh.”
Eisel put a hand to her lips and glanced back at the other two people in the tent. He gestured as if to come out.
‘Is it already my turn to watch?’
After rubbing his eyes and getting ready Simon came out of the tent.
however.
“uh?”
Phantasus and Eisel were waiting in full arms.
Phantasus opened his mouth and smiled.
“Hey you’re here! Then let’s go.”
“Uh where are you?”
“Didn’t you say you wanted to see the Corlockers?”
Phantasus adjusted his clothes and continued.
“I’m thinking of going to see it now. Mmm!”
As if that had happened to Azel as well he yawned profusely and moved on. Surprised Simon quickly followed the seniors and said.
“…is it really okay?”
“A lot of people are dead Simon.”
Aizel said.
“We may not be able to kill Corokers right away but I think we at least have the right to ascertain his condition.”
Azel’s serious expression while saying that was quite cool.
When we first met it feels like the aura of that time when he was wearing glasses tall and acting as the perfect student council president came out naturally.
There was still a long way to reach the barrier where the Currokers were so Simon told his seniors about Kizen’s issues.
He told Phantasus the story of his sister Merida.
Even the story of how he had recently fully awakened the power of ambivalence and defeated Pernomia who was 4th overall in the 3rd year at the time in an exchange match.
“Really! Merida that Pernomia!”
As soon as Pantasus heard Simon’s story he laughed out loud.
“That idiot.”
Eisel grumbled at the words that she lost her motivation.
“Ha ha ha! It’s time for my brother to show off his talent too! Mmm! That’s great!”
“Didn’t you hear from Merida? I think she sent a lot of letters or something.”
“I’m always wandering the continent!”
Pantasus who was smiling while showing his teeth looked at Simon with a slightly serious face.
“Did you still miss me?”
“yes.”
“Right.”
he rubbed his chin.
“It seems that my shade was too big when I was young. Merida should also live a more proactive life.”
“Still I’ve improved a lot. I’ll be surprised if we meet and talk later.”
And he told Aizel about the Ballack incident.
Of course I had to omit the top secret part but I talked enough to know the general flow. Eisel closed her eyes to her complex subtle face.
“…When I lost ‘myself’ and was only obsessed with how others saw me Balak kept fighting me.”
he let out a long breath.
“It’s true that I lied to Balack about my true self. It was like ‘pretending’ to agree with his fighting spirit. Actually he was scary.”
“….”
“So I understand that Balak felt betrayed by me when he learned the truth. But-“
Azel closed her eyes. Perhaps in his head he seemed to recall the scenes of countless duels during his Kizen life.
“I was sincere about not wanting to lose.”
“ah.”
“You can’t fake your skills right? Balak’s constant fighting attitude was obviously difficult but when I was fighting I think I liked the feeling of letting myself out completely. Even when I thought I connected with him I thought it was fortunate that I had a rival. There were definitely times when I did. If I ever see him again-“
Azel slowly opened her eyes.
“I want to tell you that the feelings I had for you weren’t all lies.”
“….”
“If you work as a necromancer maybe we can meet someday?”
Simon laughed bitterly and scratched the side of his head.
“That person escaped from Pentamonium and went missing?”
“There’s no way he’s dead.”
Aizel said as if it were assertive.
“It must be alive somewhere.”
After talking about this and that school with the former student council president seniors for a while now is the time to be serious.
In the distance the barrier where the Currokers were confined began to appear. Everyone kept their mouths shut and moved without a trace.
“There is also a keeper.”
I see a dragon sitting in front of the barrier. Pantasus Azel and Simon secretly took a detour.
The barrier surrounded the entire crater of the mountain and was so vast that it reached the sky. It would not be possible to protect the entire barrier so there must be gaps.
“By the way how do you plan to break through the barrier?”
“Hahaha! That’s right Azel who had the highest JH score among us will do something! Aren’t you Agel’s successor?”
Azel said ‘Huh?’ With a look on his face he blinked his eyes.
“Me? I thought you had something on your mind.”
“Hahahaha! It can’t be!”
Can I trust these people?
Simon belatedly worried.
In the meantime the three of them worked diligently to find a poorly guarded barrier. Phantasus rolled up his sleeves and came forward.
“Good! Let this body do something!”
“Please take good care of me senior.
Azel said looking worried.
The moment Phantasus approached the barrier and tried to put his hands together.
“this.”
A sound mixed with bewilderment flowed from the corner of Phantasus’s mouth. Simon blinked.
“Why are you doing that… Ah.”
In the scene reflected in the barrier behind me I saw a woman standing before I knew it.
The three of them hurriedly turned around.
“….”
The blue dragon Eurus was watching closely.
Azel who acted confidently when there were only three of them shrank right away and Phantasus laughed and quickly removed his hand from the barrier and scratched his hair.
Simon came forward quickly.
“Yurus! What happened now…!”
“Do you really have to see Currockers?”
she asked. Simon who had been silent for a moment finally answered.
“yes.”
Juris and Simon’s gazes once again crossed in the air.
Soon she let out a sigh.
“Actually I’ve been waiting for this to happen. Please follow me.”
* * *
Following Julis’ guidance Simon and the others moved on.
It was a place farther away from the previous place.
“If I had gone through the barrier there my other colleagues would have caught me right away.”
“…ah.”
Simon who was next to her looked at her with a surprised face.
“Are you helping us?”
She nodded slightly.
“My comrades may not think so but I think dragons should yield where they can. Please keep the fact that you’ve seen Currockers a secret.”
“Haha! Of course. Thanks to you I survived!”
Phantasus said forcefully.
Simon walked alongside her and spoke cautiously.
“I don’t know if it’s rude but… from the stories we talked about yesterday.”
“yes.”
-There is no magic that has not been tried to alleviate the symptoms of Currockers. But I didn’t listen to any magic and herbs. I’m afraid. I hope he will end up like his older sister…
“Did the older sister of the Corokers have similar symptoms?”
Her steps paused for a moment.
His pupils were shaking as if he was having trouble finding his composure but he soon covered his forehead.
“Yes. I didn’t have the symptoms of changing my body like Currockers but…”
“Did other dragons have similar diseases or symptoms?”
At Phantasus’ question she shook her head.
“There was none. It was just the two of them. That’s why it’s more miserable and difficult.”
“Then what happened to that dragon? I don’t think it would have been solved by other dragons like this one…”
“It’s gone.”
Julis said with a complicated feeling.
“That’s it.”
“….”
Silence passed again.
Eurus who had been friendly with him had a terrifyingly hardened expression right after he brought up the story. But Simon couldn’t help but ask.
“I wonder if his… name is…”
Julis turned his head and looked straight into Simon’s eyes. Simon’s heart seemed to be racing but he desperately didn’t show it.
“It’s strange that humans are curious about the dragon’s name.”
“Oh that’s…”
“My name is Mirmiz.”
After answering that she walked past Simon at a slightly faster pace. Simon swallowed.
‘I’m sure.’
The remains of a dragon that Simon inherited from Nephthys and holds in subspace.
-She is my teacher! This is Mirmiz the dragon’s ‘advisor’ who disappeared from the dragon world 100 years ago!
Its true identity is Mirmiz.
All of this was intertwined with Mirmiz. Although he came here at the request of the silver dragon Harhis Simon felt something like fate.
“It’s all here.”
It was before the barrier.
“It’s calmed down after the recent rampage but please be careful as you never know what will happen.”
When she spread her palm and caressed the barrier the tip slightly collapsed and the hole opened.
The party went inside with nervous faces.
“Ugh!”
As soon as I entered it was difficult to breathe due to the terrible stench and miasma.
The view inside from outside the barrier was a normal crater but the inside was much more horrifying.
A place of death.
The bottom was black and polluted almost forming a lake. And I see something struggling in the lake of death.
-Keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
The head of a giant dragon struggling in a nasty lake.
Everyone in the party was at a loss for words.
“Is that… a dragon?”
For a great race it just looks like a monster writhing in pain.
“Almost the shape of the dragon is also collapsing. No it’s collapsing and recovering at the same time.”
Phantasus murmured.
It was as if he was struggling for an eternity of pain. Every time it struggled the crater became more and more polluted.
Juris who had been watching this with painful eyes turned his head.
“I’ll lock the barrier for a while. If other dragons see you they’ll try to kill you.”
“Hahaha! Thank you for that!”
at that time.
gigg.
The dragon’s eyes turned towards Simon.
‘Those eyes…!’
The shape of the pupil was in the shape of a distorted triangle. Those were the eyes of the pirate captain of Ecclesi.
Simon stepped forward as if possessed.
“What what are you doing? Simon! It’s dangerous!”
Aizel’s cry was put to shame and the huge mouth that had escaped from the lake had reached Simon’s eyes.
