Necromancer School’s Summoning Genius Episode 996
“Butler!”
Simon smiled brightly.
“You came! “Are you here to help us?”
[…It is true that I am here to help, but please do not make the mistake of thinking that I am a member of the 7th Legion.] The ancient
undead zombie butler of the former 5th Legion coldly responded while holding his monocle.
[In the end, if I want to be free, I have to break through the gray wall and get out of here. I just decided that it would be inconvenient if you died here as we still have a common enemy.]
“Okay then.”
Simon smiled warmly and nodded.
No matter how you look at it, the reaction is that they are happy to have one more colleague. The zombie butler frowned.
‘…They must have set me free with this intention from the beginning.’ As expected, humans are cunning.
The zombie butler tried to distract himself with that thought, but Simon’s smiling face was annoying.
[You told me to watch the corps’ movements. I admit that it was impressive that they were able to establish a cause and win the hearts of the residents. However, when I watched closely, the momentum was good, but there was no one who was absorbed in the power and troops and wanted to use their brains.]
“Agree! Then let’s form an alliance. “You can make up for what we lack.”
Simon clapped his hands.
The zombie butler reluctantly nodded slightly and then sighed.
[From what I saw in the Pentamonium incident and the shadow war, I thought he had a thorough personality, but I didn’t know he was such a hard-working person.] ‘Oh’ The moment he heard that, Simon patted his head and saw Lee Chae pass
by
. felt.
‘…It takes a lot of work. ‘It takes a lot of work?’
The zombie butler spoke grumblingly, but caught a strange feeling from the nuance.
It’s a slightly different feeling than the hostility or rejection I’ve felt towards myself so far.
‘Oh, I think I know something. ‘I think I know it tickles.’
Now that I think about it, this guy doesn’t even have a proper name.
Just a ‘butler’.
He was probably always there to assist Magnus.
Because Magnus wasn’t feeling well. Since minor illnesses were frequent, they said they were only found in sulfur hot springs. It would have always been the zombie butler’s job to take care of him.
And here are my thoughts: The Ancient Undead makes a contract with a human necromancer to fill some emotional emptiness.
‘There’s no reason not to try it.’
Simon’s thinking was quick and he took action right away.
He suddenly stumbled and leaned towards the zombie butler. The zombie butler received Simon’s body with familiar movements.
[? Why are you doing that?]
“Ugh, I’m sorry. “I think I slightly sprained my leg when I turned too hard earlier.”
[Ah, how pathetic!]
Contrary to what he said, the zombie butler’s body was already moving. After picking up a tablecloth from nearby and slightly moistening it with water from a flower pot, he began tying Simon’s ankles carefully.
[I can’t believe a corps commander doesn’t even notice his own injuries! You should be ashamed of yourself!]
and even felt a bit of madness as he made a ribbon and tied it on Simon’s ankle bandage.
Right then.
“Hey hey are you there?”
Simon and the zombie butler simultaneously flinched and lowered their posture at the sudden sound of a low-pitched voice.
It was Arak Murad’s voice.
“Where are you! Legion pride! Ugh, wow, wow. I feel nauseous. “I need to keep communicating with you.”
[Excuse me.]
The zombie butler quietly carried Simon on his back and moved secretly so that Arak Murad would not notice.
‘Wow, this was it.’
Simon thought he finally knew a little more about zombie butlers.
Service to others.
Service.
service.
Behaviors that are close to nature and instinct that are firmly embedded in the zombie butler’s body.
Without knowing that, he tied up the deacon and suggested that he should build a greater army rather than come with me. There was no way it would work. Simon once felt like punching himself in the head.
[I will say this only once, so listen carefully.]
The zombie butler spoke in a low voice as he moved to avoid Arak Murad.
[From now on, I will tell you the truth about Arak Murad that I investigated.]
“The truth?”
The zombie butler slowly stretched out his arm and pointed to the black trees outside the window.
[That is the source of Arak Murad’s power. In fact, it is no exaggeration to say that he is Arak Murad himself.]
A mysterious tree that is said to have sprung up in mushrooms right after the poisonous gas that contaminates humans spread in Bell Heights. It takes root on the roof or rooftop of a building.
‘That tree is the source of Arak Murad?’
Of course it was a foreign plant, but there were so many strange things that the organization did that there was no time to worry about it. It was too much to focus on attacking the infected and Arak Murad.
However, if that tree is the source of Arak Murad’s infinite power, the story is different.
[That black tree has the property of sucking in mana from the atmosphere and then combining the mana into something like strange green energy and expelling it out.] The
zombie butler continued speaking while spreading his palm and pretending to create pitch darkness.
[It’s been 15 days since those trees took root in Bell Heights, a territory, and now that kind of energy fills the entire city. Arakmurad’s body is just a launch pad. [We collect energy floating in the air, give it physical power, process it, and fight.]
Then, now I understand.
Those black trees process mana and emit it as special mana that only Arak Murad can use. If Arak Murad uses it, the activation efficiency is truly 100%. With just a single gesture, mana is instantly converted into an object. A level of power that is almost like a forgotten miracle, impossible even with the magical efficiency of the great mage of the past.
This was the reason why each and every Arak Murad was strong. They all shared a vast amount of green mana.
Kwaaaaaaaa!
At that time, I heard an explosion behind me. When Simon looked back, he had broken the wall and Arak Murad was trotting in.
“Oh, I was here. “I’ve been looking for this guy for a while.”
He yawned lazily and waved his hand as if catching a fly. Pillars created in the air began to fly in a bloody trajectory.
What the butler did was ‘run away’.
It looks like they never engage in combat.
[Arak Murad and the group took time to create a ‘stage that can never be defeated.’]
Tweet!
The butler, who quickly rushed out of the building, looked up at the sky and said.
[That gray wall is also part of that. The gray wall allows the outside atmosphere to pass through, but blocks the inside mana and green energy from going outside. In addition, Arakmurad even created several bodies of his own using some kind of method.]
“Then Aramurad’s strategy is-”
Simon also raised his head and looked at the countless black trees.
“You mean we just have to remove all those trees?”
[It would be impossible.]
The butler continued, holding on to his monocle.
[It was different from common trees on the continent. I already went and checked to see if it caught fire, but it was made of a material that was somewhat resistant to fire. They say we have to cut them down or uproot them one by one, but I can’t imagine removing all the black trees in this area while avoiding Arak Murad’s offensive.] “
That’s right.”
This is already Arak Murad’s territory.
When certain conditions are met, he demonstrates almost invincible power.
Its power is so absolute that the number of troops or the strength of the corps commander is meaningless. Weak points that could be exploited were also blocked well in advance.
‘but.’
“Knock, knock!” Ouch! “Week!”
The zombie butler who was carrying Simon suddenly stopped walking. I was just being chased by Arak Murad from behind, but this time another Arak Murad appeared from in front.
“It’s a problem, it’s a problem.”
Arak Murad, who had vented once, wiped the corners of his mouth.
“In this era where communication is cut off. “I think people used to be a little closer together, but now the world has changed so much.”
When he clenched his right hand into a fist and pushed it down, dozens of oak barrels the size of houses suddenly fell from the sky! thud! thud! It fell and began to tumble towards Simon and the zombie butler.
The speed was gradually accelerating on the flat ground, which was not even a slope.
“If you get crushed, it’s over!”
[I will slowly take a detour and escape.]
The zombie butler moved freely while carrying Simon on his back.
The huge oak barrels collided with each other and made a loud noise, but he calmly dodged and dodged between the falling oak barrels.
“butler! front!”
Crack.
This time, two oak barrels came down stuck to each other and it was impossible to escape through the gap. In response, the zombie butler put his thumb in his mouth, bit it, and then traced it on the floor.
A white puddle was created on the floor, and a special zombie undead, ‘White Ghost’, jumped out of it and grabbed the oak barrel.
Quack quack!
While Baekgui held on, the zombie butler jumped on Baekgui’s back and jumped off.
[As I said before, there is no need to deal with it.]
He said as he continued to pass between the oak barrels with light movements.
[Step back…]
Boom!
At that very moment, the oak barrel that was rolling next to it broke with a loud noise, and Arak Murad jumped out of it.
Simon’s eyes widened.
‘Were you hiding in an oak barrel?’
“If you thought you could beat this guy-”
His fist, wrapped in green veins, lashed out at Simon’s head, which was being carried by the butler.
“It was a miscalculation.”
Sreung-!
His fist stopped in front of Simon’s head.
Suddenly, a white sword light flashed and Arak Murad’s head was split in half and rolled on the floor.
Simon raised his head.
“Bear!”
[Khahahaha! I caught you off guard!]
Kuuuuuung!
Peer came down from high altitude and landed on the floor. As Arak Murad’s headless body fell, all the oak barrels around him disappeared like melting candy.
[Wasn’t it dangerous just now! Keep the corps commander straight. Butler!]
[That’s what you have to say! Isn’t it your duty as the 7th Legion to protect him?]
Simon got off the butler’s back and spread his arms. Peer’s body disintegrated in the air, then attached itself to Simon’s body and returned to ‘Pion’.
He walked over and pulled out the Great Sword of Destruction from the ground.
“Let me tell you.”
Simon raised the corners of his mouth.
“There is no enemy that cannot be defeated, Butler.”
[Are you going to keep fighting?]
“Of course. I have a feeling that if I lose sight of him here, he will become a troublesome and annoying enemy in the future. Even if it means mobilizing all of the army’s remaining power.”
Simon’s eyes sparkled.
“We catch Arak Murad here and now.”
***
Same time.
The group commanded by Lorraine was also busy moving outside the barrier. The 1st and 2nd princes, who had continued to persistently interfere, now had no choice but to notice.
Of course.
“Thank you for allowing me to film!”
This is because reporters flocked to the event.
The complexions of the princes and the ministers who followed them turned pitch black.
“Commander Lorraine!”
At that time, a Pentamonium scholar approached.
“We succeeded in making a temporary hole in the gray wall!”
Lorraine looked back at him.
“Can people get through it too?”
“It’s not enough to let one person through right now, but a small object of this size…” It
’s about the size of a small tray.
After thinking for a moment, she opened her mouth.
“I will send an observer artifact for reconnaissance inside the barrier. “We will be able to find out what happened inside the walls and whether people are safe.”
“yes!”
The work began immediately, and the Observer artifact capable of flight was pushed into the narrow gap that had been barely created. After trial and error in which the Observer was destroyed about three times.
“You have successfully entered the fourth Observer!”
Lorraine nodded with a nervous look.
“Let’s look at the screen.”
All the people around came rushing in.
Headquarters staff wondering whether to call in reinforcements, reporters waiting for a scoop, families in Belle Heights, and even princes hoping to find out that the king and his wife are dead.
‘…Simon.’
And Lorraine, worried about Simon, stared at the screen.
The moment when the observer displays the scene inside the wall on the screen.
Waaaaaaa!
A loud cheer erupted.
