Necromancer School’s Summoning Genius Chapter 990:
Belle Heights, the home of the king and his wife and the iron-blooded fortress that has never been conquered by anyone.
However, the sight inside the gray wall was truly miserable.
The buildings had been completely destroyed. There are dried blood stains everywhere and all kinds of unidentifiable vomit can be seen.
Above all, there were dark trees growing throughout the city, their roots digging deep and destroying roofs and mansions.
It looks like a ruin that has been abandoned for hundreds of years.
‘This happened in just over two weeks?’
Simon couldn’t believe his eyes.
As expected, there were many strange techniques in the art of assassination, so I couldn’t let down my guard. Simon walked carefully.
‘There is no response to the royal family’s emblem right now.’
Simon grabbed the necklace and sighed softly.
There is a high possibility that the King and Queen are already dead, but the search must continue.
As sunlight did not enter through the gray walls, the surroundings were dark and extremely quiet, so we had to pay attention to suppressing the sound of footsteps.
Nothing is happening right now, but strangely unknown war clouds are flowing.
‘Pier, can you feel any reaction of life around you?’
[Hehehe! It is truly a land of death-]
After Peer’s voice stopped, a voice was heard a moment later.
[I just found it. There is a place where I can sense a faint presence!]
‘Let’s go!’
Simon followed Peer’s guidance and headed to a small mansion nearby.
Here too, a black tree was growing on the roof, and its roots had penetrated the ceiling and reached down into the house.
Simon sneaked inside.
‘It’s different inside.’
I expected a ruin full of cobwebs, but the inside of the building was clean, proving that less than a month had passed here.
Simon, who had been searching the inside of the house, entered the living room and soon stopped in front of the large bed in the living room.
“….”
Then he grabbed the bed with one hand and roughly lifted it up.
“Wow!”
A young man hiding under the bed let out a frightened scream and covered his face with his arms.
“Please save me! Help me!”
I am a survivor.
A thin young man with sunken cheeks on his face. I expected it would take two more days to investigate this place, but I found it sooner than expected. Simon calmed his joy and spoke in a calm voice.
[We have come to liberate Belle Heights by order of the Witch of Death.]
“Yes?”
[I am a union necromancer.]
He finally raised his head and looked at Simon. He looked slightly frightened as he was wearing Peer’s helmet, but the moment Simon showed him Keygen’s order, he let out a ‘sigh’ and shed tears of joy.
“My luck hasn’t run out yet! thank you! thank you!”
Simon tilted the bed all the way up against the wall to avoid making any noise, then held out his hand to the squatting young man.
It seemed like he was still hesitating because he was afraid of Simon, but he eventually took Simon’s hand. Simon applied a little force and his body was jerked like a scarecrow.
“Wow!”
As he was about to go over to the other side, Simon lifted him upright again and put him in his right place.
My body has no strength and I feel like a balloon doll. His nutritional status seemed poor.
[Tell me what happened.]
“Ah yep! It was so sudden for me, so I don’t know what to say first…”
While the young man was trying to think, Simon suddenly grabbed the Great Sword of Destruction and brought it forward. The young man was startled and waved his arms.
“Wow! sorry! “It’s not that I don’t talk!”
Boom!
Simon swung the great sword of destruction. The wall on the other side split with a loud noise.
Fuquaaaaaaaa!
Soon, starting from the crack in the wall, the monsters behind it split in half, pouring out green liquid. There are about five in number. There were even things that had been cut by a sword and were still moving. The young man said, ‘Huh!’ He screamed like he was going to scream.
-Crrrrrrrrr!
Among them, a monster crawled out of a collapsed gap, knocked the young man to the ground and opened its mouth wide. The moment the young man’s face turned white.
puck!
The monster’s head, which opened its mouth to eat the young man, disappeared cleanly with only its jaw and lower teeth remaining. After that, Simon is seen taking a kicking stance.
[Keep your wits about you.]
Bang!
He rushed forward with flashy movements and started chopping down the monsters. With each punch, the monsters’ organs popped out and their brains were scattered.
Soon, he grabbed the last one running towards Simon with one hand.
Right!
I took a picture right next to where the young man was looking. Fragments of the body rained down along with the sound of flesh being crushed. The young man was mesmerized, opened his mouth, and made the sound ‘Above’.
[Get up.]
Simon held out his hand to the young man.
He held his hands together with a puzzled expression.
“…Excuse me, but you are very strong.”
***
It seemed like there was no time to leisurely listen to the story here.
After hearing the loud noise, Simon and the young man ran out of the house and down the street because they didn’t know when the monsters would attack.
“This way, benefactor! “I will guide you!”
Even when he almost died once, he did not forget to pack a leather bag full of food from home. Thanks to this, his bag was filled with all kinds of food.
“There is an underground retreat where the survivors are hiding! “I will guide you there!”
There’s a group of survivors. This was good news.
[What’s your name?]
“It’s Tol!”
[Tol, how many people are there in that hideout?]
Even though he just called him by his name, Tol looked up at Simon with a little emotion on his face.
“About 30 people! Rather, my benefactor! “When I first saw it, I really thought it was the Grim Reaper walking in from hell, but it turned out to be more than I thought…!”
chuck!
Simon stopped Tol with the Great Sword of Destruction. He was startled and shouted urgently.
“Ugh! I’m sorry if you felt bad! “I have a free tongue…!”
[Quietly.]
Simon covered his mouth with a frown and pointed forward with his chin. Tol’s gaze turned.
The monsters from earlier began to emerge one by one from the dark forest of buildings. I couldn’t guess how many there were. Tol’s face turned pale.
[Tol, how far is it from here to the retreat?]
“It’s right in front! “I think I just need to walk another 15 minutes!”
[I see.]
Simon stretched out his left arm, which was not holding the Great Sword of Destruction, and immediately placed his palm on his waist.
[Come in.]
“Yes?”
He looked at Simon’s face and left arm with a blank expression.
“???”
What should I do? It was an expression like this.
However, Simon seemed to have no time to explain as he was on guard for his enemies. Tol repeatedly put his hand in and out of Simon’s arm and put his head in and out like a chicken pecking at a fruit that had fallen on the floor.
Simon was still looking straight ahead.
-Crrrrrrrrr!
-Kiiiii!
Eventually, the monsters found Simon and Tol and began to accelerate toward them. Simon raised his voice.
[Quickly!]
“Like this?”
When Tol finally threw himself into Simon’s left arm, Simon narrowed his left arm and easily lifted him up and carried him. His hips jerked up and he said, ‘Ugh!’ He made a sound and Simon immediately stomped on the ground and flew away.
Teuong!
The ground Simon was standing on cracked and his body soared into the air. Tall’s clothes flutter wildly in the strong headwind.
Simon trampled on the roof of the building and continued running.
“Waaaaaaaaah!”
Tall, who was stuck on Simon’s side, let out an unidentifiable scream. He turned his head and looked ahead and shouted in horror.
“Benefactor! Before! Before!”
The monster in the sky opened its mouth towards Simon, but with a white flash, the monster’s body split in half and the two people passed through the gap.
Sreung! Sreung!
Simon swung the Great Sword of Destruction in his right hand as if he were moving chopsticks. The monsters split apart with a crunching sound.
He ran on the roof, came down to the ground, jumped up again, landed on the tall clock tower, and then used his stepping feet to go down to the ground again.
A truly unusual movement. Tol couldn’t even scream anymore.
[Come to your senses, Tol. It was 15 minutes away from the front. Where is the location of the retreat?]
In the meantime, Tol seemed to have understood Simon’s words and moved both hands to point in a direction. At the end of the paved carriage road there was a spot blocked off by a small wooden plank. It was the entrance to an underground sewer.
‘Fog.’
Simon casted fog magic, a basic black magic, to make the surrounding area dark, then pulled out a wooden plank and placed Tol inside first.
Afterwards, he went inside and stretched out his hand to cover the wooden plank.
After a while.
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo!
The terrible footsteps of monsters can be heard above. Simon and Tol were in a daze, out of breath.
“I hope you’re okay…! Ouch!”
Tol ran to the side and started vomiting on the floor.
***
Tall’s vomiting stopped.
The two walked through the underground waterway, each carrying a lantern taken out from subspace.
[Tell me what happened in Bell Heights.]
“Oh, of course! “Now my thoughts are clear!”
It all started after the King and Queen came here.
Bell Heights was the birthplace of the King and Queen and a place of spiritual rest.
Whenever they had a difficult time, they would visit Bell Heights in the name of a ‘local pilgrimage’ to get their minds together. At a time when the kingdom was in trouble due to a deadly crisis, the king and his wife visited Bell Heights with only a few ministers, and when the residents learned of the king and his wife’s arrival, they held a grand festival to welcome them.
The first night of the biggest and most splendid festival.
The ‘death’ of solidarity has taken root.
A ‘wall’ was erected in the territory to completely block inflow from the outside, and an unidentified poisonous gas spread throughout the territory.
It polluted humans, turning them into monsters called ‘infections’ that roamed the streets, and the territory was turned into a wasteland. Before we knew it, black trees had taken root in the territory and it had become a territory of death.
Fortunately, those who hid underground in time avoided being contaminated by gas, but 80% of the territory’s population had already disappeared.
Afterwards, members of the organization wearing masks appeared there and declared.
-Bell Heights is now the territory of the Order.
They hunted down the survivors one by one, took them to an abandoned building, and performed human experiments on them. It was a series of terrible events.
And the people of Tol’s retreat stayed underground for 15 days without eating a single meal, but eventually reached their limit.
Tol had no choice but to step forward. After confirming that the poison gas had disappeared from the streets, he went out to look for food, but was caught by monsters and detained for two days, until he met Simon.
[All of that happened in 15 days?]
“I don’t believe it either, but that’s true.”
Tol lowered his head with a miserable face.
“Everything still feels like a terrible nightmare. “Not long ago, I was happy to celebrate my parents’ birthdays and pick up an intact table that someone had thrown away, but suddenly something like this happened.”
[What do you know about the survival of the king and his wife?]
Tol shook his head.
“sorry. We are too busy protecting our own lives…”
[I understand.]
“Ah! ah! Seeing that he was asking about the well-being of His Majesty and His Majesty the King, it seems that he came with the support of the princes! The princes are probably breaking down the wall right now to save us, right? As expected, it’s reassuring! Long live our country!”
Simon couldn’t tell the truth to Tol’s selfish thoughts.
In fact, they are neglecting your death and preventing your salvation.
“Now that I think about it, we are a member of the Dark Alliance, so isn’t support too slow?”
Suddenly Tol got excited.
“I’m paying a huge amount of taxes, but the Union army hasn’t arrived yet! “How on earth did this happen…!”
[I’m sorry.]
Simon opened his mouth.
[So far, I am the only necromancer who has breached the wall surrounding the territory.]
“Ah.”
He opened his mouth with a blank expression.
It would be hopeless. I had been holding out for as long as I could, but there was only one reinforcement.
“Then your benefactor is the only hope for this territory!”
Tol immediately joined hands.
“Benefactor! No, I’ll call you Hope!”
[Don’t do it.]
“If only I could live here, I would travel around the continent and sing Hope’s hymn until I die! “You may have guessed it by hearing my voice, but my profession is a bard…!”
When Simon turned his back, he immediately fell down and grabbed the leg of his pants. ‘This is Noongdam!’ He shouted urgently.
“The retreat is right there!”
In front of the passageway, you can see a barricade made of wooden fences or rock wall debris to prevent monsters from entering or exiting. The moment Simon takes one step forward.
Burrr—
The royal coat of arms that Simon was wearing around his neck began to shake.
‘You’ve come to the right place.’
I thought that things might work out sooner than expected.
***
Outside the gray wall.
2The prince’s tent.
A soldier came into the tent in a huff.
“Prince! Prince!”
The second prince, who was lying comfortably on the hammock of the tent, frowned.
“What else? “I still feel bad for missing that kid.”
“There’s an intruder!”
“intruder? “Unless he’s a treacherous commander, just ignore him and kill him.”
“That’s… hehe!”
The soldier was startled and sat down in his seat. The person who had just said ‘intruder’ was standing next to him.
The man was wearing a robe.
“Are you the second prince?”
The second prince frowned at the intruder’s words.
“what? This bastard is cruel. What are you?”
Sreuk.
Soon the hood came off and black hair fell down to the shoulders.
The prince who saw the intruder’s face said, ‘Huh!’ He made a sound and his expression hardened. He was so shocked that he fell out of the hammock.
“You all…!”
A girl with flashing red eyes walked over quickly, looked down at the prince, and opened her mouth.
“The commander of the 7th Corps was here, right?”
