Necromancer School’s Summoning Genius Chapter 763
Simon slowly raised the jet black to the fingertips hidden behind his back.
At once, a magic circle was formed in front of the index finger, and drops of blood were extracted and mixed with jet black.
<cloud>
Then, as he stretched out his arm roughly, an emerald flash shot out.
But the distance was too far. Cloud couldn’t hit the ‘suspicious person’ by a single shot and crashed into a tree behind him.
seuk-
The man immediately turned his back and ran away.
“who is this!”
Simon screamed and swung his arms vigorously. Cloud coiled around the base of the tree, and Simon yanked it forward as it sprang forward.
“Ummmm, what’s going on?”
There was no time to answer d!ck, who had been awakened by the commotion. Simon soon released Cloud from his hand and landed on the floor, and a suspicious person was running toward the overgrown bushes.
“stop!”
Simon also clenched his teeth and ran with pitch black on his legs.
A sudden night chase.
He jumped and avoided obstacles such as rocks and trees with unusual body movements. Movements unbelievable for a bipedal human. He was almost at the speed of a wild animal.
Simon also threw the winning number.
‘Jet-dark eruption in the body!’
A mattology technique that dramatically increases physical abilities in a short period of time. A jet-black shuddered all over Simon’s body. Drops of oil-like jet-black dripped through his pores.
As the speed increased, they caught up with almost all the suspicious people. The moment Simon jumped off the ground and reached for his neck.
creak-
He turned his head at an impossible angle to see Simon.
Then he showed his gums and grinned.
Booung!
Simon’s hand passed through his face.
‘what?’
Chaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh-!
Simon hastily lowered his legs. The jump was so strong that Simon’s foot left a long trail on the floor before he stopped after moving forward for a long time.
I went back to where he was.
“…….”
there was nothing.
Like a ghost, it just disappeared.
‘That person, obviously…’
Clothes that seem to be roughly woven from natural materials, which is hard to find in a typical city or village. No matter how much he lived in the grasslands, he looked too primitive.
Simon quickly glanced around as he disappeared.
‘ah.’
Hard crab caught. Simon put his arm in and pulled out something buried in the mud.
It was a skull.
It looks quite old enough that a necromancer can’t even raise it as an undead. It’s more like a relic than a skeleton.
Simon set his skull down on the floor with a serious expression on his face.
* * *
After taking a look around, Simon returned to the simple lodging.
There was an uproar.
Meirin and Kamibarez, who had just woken up from the commotion, were holding each other tightly, looking up at Simon with a terrified look on their faces, and d!ck, waking up from sleep, was holding on to a branch nearby and swaying it from side to side. ‘What! What!’ The voice he said was very hoarse.
“What happened?”
Maylin asked cautiously.
Simon smiled and scratched the back of his head.
“Sorry, it was just a deer. I must have misunderstood.”
“Yaaah-! What!”
Meilin stomped her feet as if whining, and soon lost her strength and slumped. Cami Varez also placed her hand on her chest and let out a sigh of relief from her.
“I was surprised. I’m glad you’re safe, Simon.”
“Sorry for yelling all of a sudden. I guess I was too sensitive.”
Simon sat down again in front of the bonfire, the seat dedicated to the vigil.
Maybe they were relieved, Meirin and Kamibarez quickly fell asleep again. They are sleeping soundly, hugging each other tightly.
Simon threw more wood into the bonfire that was about to go out.
“job.”
Then d!ck, whom he thought was sleeping, came over and sat down next to Simon.
“It’s not your turn to wake up yet. Sleep a little longer. I’ll wake you up when it’s time.”
“Uhh. It’s okay. Sleep ran away.”
d!ck let out a long yawn, then looked at Simon with cold eyes.
“Simon, what did you see?”
“…….”
“It’s okay, so tell me.”
d!ck double-checked that Mailyn and Kamivarez were sleeping well, then continued.
“No matter how much I think about it, something is strange here. I need to know how this meadow works.”
Anyway, I was thinking of telling everyone about it later, when the day is bright.
Simon quickly explained the situation.
A suspicious person was peeking this way. I tried to chase and catch him, but he disappeared like a ghost, and I found an old skull under the floor where he disappeared.

After hearing the explanation, d!ck put on a serious expression.
“Hmm- I don’t think I’ve seen it wrong if it’s been a chase.”
He patted my knee with his fingertips, lost in thought, and suddenly rose from his seat.
“Didn’t I say it’s still a long way from my nighttime watch? I’m going for a walk and looking around.”
“Yes, be careful.”
“That skull, where is it located?”
Simon pointed out the location of the skull, and d!ck walked over to check it out himself.
* * *
the next morning.
Simon’s group boarded the boat again and went up the river.
The mana engine worked properly, so there was no need to row. All we had to do was keep going along the river.
“It’s foggy.”
The meadow in the early morning had turned into a very gloomy atmosphere. The sky was dark, as if it would rain at any moment, and the surroundings were covered with fog.
The atmosphere was quite different from the appearance of the meadow yesterday.
Maybe it was because they woke up early in the morning, or because the bed was uncomfortable, so they couldn’t sleep. One by one, I decided to close my eyes or take a break for a while. Kamibarez quickly fell asleep.
Flutter-
Simon, of course, did not rest. He was reading an open book.
“What book is it?”
I thought I could smell a fragrant scent next to me, and Meilin came to my side. She held her head slightly out and her eyes were blinking with a curious expression.
Simon replied.
“It’s a book about the history of the meadow.”
“Uhmm-“
Meilin looked at him with her eyes narrowed, then smiled.
“You’re unexpectedly interested in history? It doesn’t suit you very much.”
“……Then what suits me?”
“You’re an idiot in summoning. I thought you’d be looking into undead or books that can be made into monsters in the grasslands again.”
‘ah.’
why didn’t i think of that
Next time, I need to bring materials that fit the geography and books related to the special undead.
“But this sounds like fun!”
May-Lin showed interest in the illustrations in the book and sat down close to the side. Simon flinched involuntarily and held his chin upright.
“Who is this ‘priest’ here?”
“Ah, well. To say that, I have to explain the first part…”
Simon summarized what he had just read and explained it to her.
It is said that there was an ancient civilization in the grassland. Currently, people live only in the upper part of the grassland, but in the past, people also lived in the lower part of the grassland.
The people of Habu have built a brilliant civilization here.
It is a natural environment that seems uninhabitable to people, but at the time, the population here is said to have exceeded hundreds of thousands. They moved according to the will of the priests who could serve their own gods and receive divine revelations.
However, they had customs that were quite terrifying to a civilized person.
“In.God.Gong.Yang?”
Meirin was frightened and her arms trembled.
“So you’re saying you really sacrificed a living human?”
“huh.”
“No, they’re bad guys! What’s with all those things?”
“They must have maintained that custom because it was the order of the god they serve. Since it is a closed civilization, an atmosphere that no one can go against must have been formed.”
Usually, human sacrifices were intended for slaves and foreigners. The plainsmen of the lower part often escaped from the forest and kidnapped the plainsmen of the upper part and offered them as sacrifices, so there was no way they could get along.
However, the main force of the upper class at the time was ‘cavalry’. The cavalry could not use their power in the lower part of the meadow where the bushes were thick, and no matter how many troops were sent, they lost consecutively.
Above all, the people of Habu used a mysterious power called ‘God’s power’.
A snake so huge that it covers an entire meadow.
An eagle spreading its wings to cover the sky.
Even crocodiles that flood entire meadows.
By the ‘priest’ of the lower part, who uses the power of a god close to natural disaster, the people of the upper part lost a series of battles ahead of the fall of the city by the people of the lower part.
“…….”
Meirin, who had heard the story so far, crossed her arms.
“This isn’t history, it’s like a myth? It’s pure bullshit!”
“……I don’t know either.”
Simon shrugged and continued the story.
It is unknown why this civilization, which prospered by wielding divine power and human sacrifice, collapsed.
According to the people at the top, that amazing ancient civilization was destroyed in just one night.
But they said this.
-Their god was angry and judged them.
And at the end of history, there was a story about the last priest of civilization.
It is said that the only priest who survived the night of death was extremely sad and lamented that everything was his fault.
He ended up taking his own life, and the resentment is so strong that even after he dies, he rises as a specter and tries to revive the civilization that was destroyed by his mistake.
Until now.
“It’s over.”
Simon closed the book.
Meirin frowned and covered her forehead.
“It’s nonsense. I’m just in a bad mood.”
“Come on, everyone.”
d!ck, who was driving the boat out, looked at the three of them.
“I think there must be a problem.”
Simon and Meirin opened their eyes wide, and Kamibarez also woke up and approached.
d!ck opened the map.
“Look at this map. This is the meadow river.”
The river was rather meandering, but it continued straight upwards.
If you go up the river, you must come out to the upper part of the meadow.
“Haven’t we been following the main river all this time? Calculating the length and distance of the river, we should have been able to get out of the lower part of the meadow long ago. But why are we still going round and round?”
Kamibarez tilted his head.
“Could it have leaked the other way?”
Meilin shrugged.
“Or the map is wrong. It’s not even a map of a village, and there’s no way the map showing the geography of such a rough area is accurate, right? Rivers tend to change their location little by little.”
“That’s true, but no matter how you think about it, it’s strange.”
d!ck scratched his head in frustration. Simon looked around him.
“I agree with d!ck. Stop the ship for a moment.”
“Hmm? What to do?”
d!ck stopped the boat once.
“I’ll have to look around from a high place before it rains again.”
Simon repeated bending and straightening his knees in place, then leapt into the air using the recoil. He then grabbed onto a nearby vine and moved on.
<cloud>
I attached Cloud to a tree and let go of the vine.
Soon, Simon landed on the trunk of the tree.
It was the tallest tree in the area. Simon concentrated jet black on the tip of his toe and started to climb up with amazing movements.
d!ck, who was watching, exclaimed in admiration.
“Hey, really. Where do you see that being called Summoning Department?”
“Be careful! Simon!”
Simon quickly climbed the tree.
Around the time my legs started to hurt, the trees around me seemed small. Simon climbed to the top of the tree and looked down.
The surrounding area is still a dense forest under the grassland. Simon turned his back.
see the sea
I entered the sea and came a long way, but I still couldn’t believe the fact that I had only come this far.
‘It’s a bit strange.’
Simon looked around meticulously again.
“!”
I witnessed a strange phenomenon.
His mouth fell open.
I couldn’t believe my eyes, so I rubbed my eyes again and again, but it was true.
“The meadow…!”
The meadow was moving.
Kurrrrrrrrr-!
The terrain was constantly changing, as if the ground was being turned into another puzzle, or, to describe it, like a snake clinging to the floor, crawling on it.
One side of the terrain is densely covered with trees, and a new river is emerging. Something strange is going on here.
Simon’s eyes sharpened.
‘no way.’
Realistically, the most probable thing is the abnormal phenomenon in the dungeon.
Unfortunately, after entering the meadow, a nearby dungeon opened, so this could happen.
And one more possibility.
– They say that the last traces of Mur, an Ancient Undead who belonged to the Corps, were found in the meadow 15 years ago.
There was plenty of room for doubt.
‘I have to join my peers as soon as possible.’
* * *
same time.
[Khehehehe!]
Countless monsters in the meadow were dead with their tongues out.
It was literally a mountain of corpses, the number of which was immeasurable. The nearby valley turned red with blood.
And among them, he saw an undead walking around with a white greatsword on his back.
It was the corps manager and Ancient Undead, Fear.
As he slashed the monster and moved on, the terrain suddenly blended and dense trees blocked his way as if creating a barrier.
[Were you also in the meadow? Mur!]
Peer, who smiled darkly, swung the Greatsword of Destruction with all his might, and all the trees around him showed white growth rings and the upper part of the trunk soared into the air.
cooong-
thud!
Whoop-!
A loud crash resounded throughout.
Pier cut down the trees and tries to move forward, but this time the nearby cliffs move to block the front of the Pier, and the meadow river wraps around it like a moat in a rampart.
[Don’t you want to visit me?]
Eyes flashed in Pier’s pupils as he faced the greatsword.
[I guess I’ll have to join the boy as soon as possible!]
The war had already begun.
