Chapter 341
Necromancer School’s Summoning Genius Chapter 341
‘Today’s pace is good.’
The current goal of Simon’s ‘Skeleton Mage’ operation was the pursuit of extreme efficiency.
The oil berries in the warehouse were thrown to spread the oil on the floor and the jet-black flame system was set on fire to prevent the enemy from entering the castle gate itself.
Since Simon was consistent with the fire-setting tactic the Khan Kingdom’s response also changed.
Changes were made such as spreading dirt bags or adding water-soaked cowhide to the top of the chungcha but nonetheless Simon’s defense operating the undead mage on top of the castle gate was impregnable.
The Khan Kingdom had no choice but to give up the gates and caught the strand by concentrating on attacking the walls.
All the siege ladders were brought and placed on the walls and soldiers were constantly sent up. In particular when two Kizen students were sent up the wall the entire south gate wall was so good that it came to the brink of being occupied by the Khan Kingdom.
However thanks to Dick and Meirin’s efforts all the Kizen students on the siege side were captured and now the southern gate’s charter is clearly leaning towards the Suseong side.
“Follow me!”
And Dick who was released from the curse led the soldiers to recover even the walls occupied by the Khan Kingdom.
Thanks to his performance the entire southern gate defense line has returned to stability.
‘Now I don’t have to worry about the male gate.’
Simon who had been observing the situation communicated with the Commander-in-Chief nameplate.
“Both Dick and Meirin did a great job. Rest until the opposing necromancer appears. Prepare for a long battle by alternating between resting and fighting like the other gates. If you need support send a messenger or raise a flag.”
Then I heard footsteps approaching. When Simon looked back Meirin was approaching.
“Ah Meirin! You’ve worked so hard!”
“Heh this is the basics of tidying up.”
she said ruffling her hair with her fingertips. Simon pointed to the clothes draped around her shoulders.
“Is that my school uniform?”
“!”
The nape of Meirin’s neck was dyed bright red thinking that she had come with Simon’s school uniform over her shoulder too proudly belatedly.
“…Ah yes. Thank you.”
She gave a small thank you and handed over Simon’s school uniform.
So close. It was a short-lived happiness but it was still enjoyable.
Simon brushed it off to put on his school uniform.
“uh.”
“Why? Did you bury something strange?”
“No it’s just that my clothes smell like Maylin.”
‘$*@^&@!!!!’
Her face flushed red and she let out a frightened sound and backed away.
“I-I’ve been wearing it for a while so I can’t help it! What! What! Do you wash it and give it back?”
“No no. I didn’t mean that.”
Simon held up his school uniform and showed it close. He thought it might be blood because one part of his shirt was stained red but he found out that the school uniform jacket had lipstick marks on it.
“…but why the lip marks?”
‘Ahh-! Aaaah-!!!’
Meirin recalled the memory of burying her face in Simon’s school uniform and sniffing it. Having reached the limit of her shame she cupped her face with her hands.
“That’s it!”
have to say something! anything!
she stuttered and shouted.
“Falled!!”
“huh?”
“I fell down while fighting and wiped my face with your school uniform! Is that okay? I’ll pay for the laundry!!”
Even if Meirin herself thought of it it was a really absurd excuse.
I regretted saying it. I felt like I wanted to pick up the words right away. Since I speak without going through my brain of course I made a mistake…!
“I see. Are you not hurt?”
It was Simon who believed that again.
In fact he was talking to Meirin but all of Simon’s nerves were focused on the castle gate. Even at this moment he was connected to the thoughts of the Skeleton Mages.
‘Dark Blaze sequentially from the right!’
Simon smiled contentedly as a series of dark blue fireballs ignited one of the chariots approaching the castle gate.
‘Why why are you laughing all of a sudden!’
Meirin on the other hand was extremely nervous and gasping for breath.
Are you laughing at me right now? Is it meaningful? Everyone knows what they did with the school uniform but this time they pass it on specially. What is it?
While she was alone thinking about the meaning of Simon’s smile Simon opened his mouth again.
“Get some rest.
“…Uh yes.”
Meilin nodded shyly and glanced at him. Then she said in a crawling voice.
“Hey I didn’t talk to you about fuel economy in the past…”
“If it wasn’t for your advice then.”
Simon spoke first.
“You wouldn’t have thought of a way to play a long game like this. Thanks Meirin.”
…He’s really good.
Sometimes I like people so much that I get rid of them.
‘Well as a leader I like that but…’
“Oh by the way how was it like tying a note to an arrow and shooting it?”
Simon asked abruptly.
“Ah that was sensible. Thank you. I used it well.”
“I’m glad you used it well.”
Meilin smiled and lifted her head.
“How many hours has it been?”
“Four hours.”
The time to endure is 12 hours and the remaining time is 8 hours.
I didn’t know how it went and 4 hours had passed.
Of course this time only flows within the world of cards and Dick had said that three hours had passed once the siege had ended.
“Then Simon I’ll be recharging the jet black.”
“okay.”
Meirin went to the edge of the wall and sat down with her buttocks on the floor and her knees together. She then closed her eyes and put her hands on her chest and whew. She did and she took a deep breath.
Among Necromancers this is what is called ‘recharging’.
After the battle the jet black inside the body is exhausted and the ‘core’ that converts mana to jet black is also in a state of being overworked and not functioning properly.
Sit in a comfortable posture draw mana into the body through breathing and gently release the exhausted core to revitalize the body.
In fact it’s not as effective as natural recovery but it’s still better than nothing.
Instead focus on your own body and in this state the necromancer becomes defenseless.
Tadak.
Right.
It’s normal to have the skeletons taken out of the subspace protect the surroundings like Meirin. It’s because jet black isn’t consumed enough to access the undead’s thoughts.
‘Maylin is doing well.’
Simon checked the current situation while he was away.
[Suseong Team (15/15)]
[Siege Team (12/15)]
I thought it was an ideally stable pace.
The siege team had 12 people perhaps because another player had been hit by another gate and not a single member of the defense team had been out.
No matter how much it is 10 times the power it seems that the fact that you are wearing even a shabby castle is a big merit in itself.
‘If everyone does this I’ll be able to last half the time in the outer castle.’
It was a time when Simon was also trying to relax a bit.
[Barreta is eliminated in advance.]
‘uh?’
[Paul Sezin is eliminated.]
Simon opened his eyes. Both of them were Mercury side students.
[Suseong Team (13/15)]
[Siege Team (12/15)]
“…What is it all of a sudden?”
“Second Commander-in-Chief! There’s a big problem!”
The messenger came running to Simon panting.
“At the North Gate!”
“North gate?”
At that time a new message came to Simon’s future.
[The North Gate of the Outer Castle has been breached.]
[Outer castle capture event occurred.]
[All forces in the Aon Kingdom retreat to the castle.]
Simon’s face was stained with despair. It was breached before the messenger arrived from the North Gate?
‘who.’
His head turned toward the north gate.
‘Who’s at the North Gate now?’
* * *
Huh! Huh!
A male student on the Suseong side was running fast along the wall.
His name is Yo. He was the same student who had been fighting for the position of commander-in-chief until the very end.
He who was guarding the east gate was on his way to the north gate as soon as he heard the request for assistance. However before he arrived a message popped up saying that the North Gate had been breached.
‘What happened? The North Gate is the next best member after the South Gate.’
Around them they could see the terrified water soldiers running away with their resistance.
Truly abysmal.
Yō passed the soldiers and arrived at the North Gate.
“…!”
As soon as I came to the north gate a foreign scene caught my eye.
A girl in a white uniform was sitting on the wall with a relaxed expression.
Even in the situation where blood was splattered weapons collided and screams and shouts came and went the girl’s figure was calm as if she were alone in a world far away.
‘Elisa Celine!’
As the commander-in-chief she stepped forward herself. The flag of the Khan Kingdom was waving behind her as if she had already taken over the city walls.
‘The North Gate was guarded by four necromancers. It doesn’t make sense that Elisha subdued all four of them at once.’
Yoh’s eyes returned.
‘Who are you? Who the hell…’
Kwak Kwah Kwah Kwah Kwah Kwah!
Yoh’s head turned at the sudden roar.
A mountain of slashes was spreading along the walls. All lifeforms touched by the slash were completely destroyed from the world without leaving a single cell.
‘no way!’
And at the start of the slashing I saw a boy with an expressionless face wearing an eyepatch. He wasn’t even pulling out the longsword from his waist.
‘Special Case 5 Jul Vincere!’
Yoh’s mouth fell open. Did such a giant come with you?
“Ah ah ah ah ah-!”
This time screams of pain echoed across the battlefield.
When I turned my head a man as tall as a mountain was holding the face of Bwinne the ace of Mercury at the North Gate with one hand.
Bwine screamed and struggled on both legs and beneath it the bodies of the two students were slowly disappearing from what had already been done.
Those big wings and scales. It must have been.
‘Until Hector Moore!’
Soon after Hector put more strength into his hands and the barrier that was operating on his face shattered with a crackling sound.
Soon Bwine’s body fell to the floor and melted into thin air.
[Eliminated by Bwine Rodrek]
[Suseong Team (12/15)]
[Siege Team (12/15)]
“Good work everyone.”
Elisa smiled and raised her hand.
“The siege starts now! The event starts with a nice firecracker!”
Fuck!
Elisa snapped her fingers.
Countless gunfire shook the air and dozens of cannonballs shot up into the air outside the castle.
Aaaaaaaang!
Kwaaaaang!
The bombardment poured in one after another exploding soldiers and knocking down buildings.
‘I’m going crazy!’
Yoh’s lips trembled.
The sight of Elisa Jules and Hector beyond the burning walls was menacing to look at.
‘…How do I beat that combination?’
“Quickly get rid of the small fish.”
Coincidentally Elisha found You and said
“If you want to stop it how about calling Simon Pollentia as soon as possible?”
Yō raised his head at the sudden terrifying roar overhead. Ghost ship shells were falling over his head.
“Retreat! Retreat! Squeak!”
“Jjiik! Run away with resistance!”
The prisoners of Aon Kingdom are in great confusion. Elisha smiled and waved his arm.
“The rats of the Aon Kingdom run away to the castle. Don’t leave even one!”
At her direction the cavalry soldiers of the Khan Kingdom poured out of the castle gate like a blocked dam burst.
