Necromancer Academy’s Genius Summoner

네크로맨서 학교의 소환천재 1005화

Hector’s tattered body mixed with the snake-shaped body of the manager began to rebuild.

Clutter.

Coo.

The body structure changes and the body shape becomes distorted.

[If you want to quit, now is your last chance.]

The snake’s face suddenly popped out over Hector’s shoulder.

A devil-like voice rings in my ears.

[You fall into misfortune by having a genius who doesn’t fit the bill as your rival. Looking back, you already have a lot. I was born into a prestigious family and grew up without any shortcomings. Your skills are currently ranked 3rd in Keygen, so if you look below, many people will want to be like you. You can be satisfied with your current life and live comfortably.]

The voice tickles as if it were grazing my cheek.

[If you just give up on defeating Simon Pollentia, everything will be easy and happy, so why are you trying to walk the path of Sura?]

“I am.”

Hector’s subdued voice rang out.

“He is the type of person who cannot see down.”

It seems as if he was staring up at the sky until he died, and his head was bent and frozen.

Now I can’t lower my head.

No matter how hard you try, it is no use, you have to look at the sky for the rest of your life.

So the world I live in is up there.

It doesn’t matter what’s underneath or what’s underfoot.

It only looks upward, so it only points upward.

“I am a tangled mess of self-loathing and despair. Do you think you will be happy if you are satisfied with the present? I am at rock bottom now. “Nothing gets worse from here.”

Red veins appeared in his eyes.

“To face him, I want strength. “If you have to become one to acknowledge me, then do so.”

The snake’s mouth was torn open like rotten cheese.

[I also passed the last exam. I like it, Hector Moore.]

Coo!

Hector raised his upper body.

[I think I was lucky. Your rank does not satisfy me, but the reason I chose you is simply because you are a person with the opposite personality of a ‘regent.’]

thud!

Hector stepped on the ground with his palms and staggered to his feet.

[You won’t disappoint me, right? Let’s do our best.]

Sigh!

Two wings spread out behind Hector’s back.

Meanwhile, the dungeon keeper’s palm was tearing the air and coming down towards Hector, but Hector was not looking at the dungeon keeper, but was looking at the sky above him.

His mouth finally smiled.

[It’s a little closer.]

Ugh!

His legs pushed off the ground and flew into the sky.

* * *

Outside the dungeon, where the Pumpkin incident occurred.

Robesque Estate.

Coo coo coo coo!

The surrounding area was filled with yellow dust, as if a terrible yellow dust had occurred.

There were vast pumpkin fields throughout Robesque, but the yellow dust did not damage these crops. The swarms of locusts eating the leaves and the surrounding animals and plants were fine.

A yellow dust that only harms humans.

There was a group of people standing there. They were holding on with great difficulty, creating a barrier with black magic.

“Let’s go back soon.”

One of the group members said with a tired face.

“Even if we wait here for dear life, the regent will come back safely, right? “We promise the 4th expedition.”

“There is no way the regent will be defeated!”

Another necromancer among them screamed and protested.

“It definitely takes time to conquer! “We have to wait here so that if anyone is injured in the dungeon, we can treat them quickly!”

“I know that my family participated as members of the expedition. “I know how you feel, but…”

“Shut your mouth!”

A week and two more days have already passed since the regent took office.

While the remaining party members in Robesque were arguing over disagreements, one of the necromancers who was maintaining the barrier with bleary eyes opened his mouth.

“Yellow dust-”

“?”

“It’s clearing up.”

Saaaaaaaaa-

The yellow dust that had dyed the surroundings was suddenly lightening.

The abnormal phenomenon that caused the lives of people here is gradually weakening. This means one thing.

The dungeon has been cleared.

“Hey, over there! “It’s a person!”

“There’s someone walking!”

I see a man slowly walking in the middle of the yellow sand in the center. Everyone cheered and headed in that direction while maintaining the barrier.

“Who are you… Hu-up!”

It was a terrible sight.

It is covered in blood and its body is full of flesh. Every inch of his body was stained black, and one of his pupils had a hideous red glow.

Saaaaaaaaa-!

With the appearance of the man, the yellow dust almost disappeared. The necromancers also walked through the barrier and approached him.

“Wow!”

“Big!”

The bloody smell fills the air. Even as necromancers accustomed to the smell of blood, they couldn’t help but be impressed.

One of them shouted, holding a badge with the kingdom’s symbol on it.

“We are necromancers dispatched from the kingdom! “Reveal your identity!”

“….”

The man slowly raised his head and stared at them with his emotionless gaze.

“Participant of the 3rd expedition, Hector Moore.”

“!”

When they heard that there were survivors, they quickly looked behind Hector and around him.

“What about the regent and others?”

“I-”

A dry, low voice spoke.

“I am the only survivor of the expedition.”

* * *

Kizen headquarters was in an uproar at the news of Hector’s return.

“This way, agent!”

Agents were immediately dispatched to Robesk. Raven Agent Aleister and headquarters staff in suits were walking quickly inside the building.

Aleister frowned.

“There is only one survivor of the dungeon, and he is a Keygen student?”

“yes. “I won’t say a word until someone from Keygen comes…”

Aleister and the necromancers at headquarters arrived at the room at the far end.

There was Hector Moore, sitting there in a state of crackling pitch black as if under a curse. The bloody smell was terrible.

Some parts of the body were not human but undead. An eerie pitch black that flows out as if it has no intention of hiding. According to the information he heard first, Aleister had an intuition that he had become a corps commander.

And Hector was surrounded by the kingdom’s necromancers and the regent’s bereaved family.

“Why can’t I tell you the truth!”

A necromancer belonging to the kingdom was interrogating Hector.

“How did you take over the 6th Legion? And why were you the only one who survived!”

“….”

Less evil!

The kingdom’s necromancer unfolded the document in his hand.

“You seem to be looking down on us, but this is the entire list of those who have joined the expedition so far! He went into the dungeon hiding his identity. “You killed the regent, took over the 6th Legion, and silenced the people…!”

“Enough of that.”

Aleister walked out, his raven cloak waving.

“He is a student from Kizen. “We’ll take care of it from here on out.”

“…Tsk.”

When Agent Crow appeared, the kingdom’s necromancer lowered his papers with a dissatisfied face.

“Keep in mind. There is a risk that this issue will develop into a large-scale diplomatic dispute! “The regent was the commander of the legions of our kingdom.”

“I know what you mean.”

Jump and jump.

Aleister approached. Hector, who had kept his mouth shut, finally stood up when the person he had asked for from Kizen arrived.

Aleister sighed.

‘You’ve become a completely different person.’

It’s not at the level of a Keygen student. This power was alien even among corps commanders. He opened his mouth.

“Explain what happened….”

“You killed my father!”

However, before the investigation could begin, the bereaved family members cried out in the background.

“There is only one dungeon survivor from an expedition of over 500 people?”

“There must have been some kind of trick!”

Others also criticized Hector. When they interfered with the investigation, employees at Kizen headquarters stopped them and sent them back.

Hector just watched quietly.

[How funny!]

The laughter of ‘Jelousy’, the snake-shaped manager of the 6th Corps, rang out.

Although it was not audible to others, it was clearly heard in Hector’s head.

[Hector and I are already one! You can’t force them to separate! No human being can argue with my choice…!]

Up!

At that time, Hector put his hand in his mouth.

“?!”

[What are you trying to do? Hector!]

Hector’s arm went down his throat and up to his forearm. Everyone was shocked and their eyes widened.

Soon Hector spit something out of his mouth. People’s eyes widened when they saw it covered in gray liquid.

“That!”

“Seo, regent!”

What was sticking out of Hector’s body was undoubtedly the corpse of the regent.

Although his body was swollen like a lump of mud, his condition was relatively intact. People flocked in. The regent’s bereaved family also rushed to him, shedding tears.

“The body.”

Hector wiped the corners of his mouth.

“It was all I could do to fix it.”

“…!”

Everyone looked up with surprised faces.

[What is this? Hector Moore!]

Although the surroundings were enveloped in silence, the tearing cries of Manager Jelusi were pouring out of Hector’s head.

[You are an unstable corps commander! You must completely absorb the Regent within your body and make it your own! Have you lost your mind!]

Hector ignored it and said.

“I know you want to believe I killed the regent, but check.”

A member of the headquarters staff was already conducting an autopsy on the regent’s body. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at Aleister.

“…The cause of death was organ rupture due to a penetrating wound to the abdomen. Of course, there are traces of an artifact being inserted into his chest, but that is not the direct cause of death.”

After hearing the results, the regent’s bereaved family and the kingdom’s necromancers silenced him.

At the same time, Zelussy’s wailing voice rings out.

[What are you doing without my instructions, Hector Moore? You said you would do anything if you wanted power, right? Eat the regent again right now…!]

‘instruction? ‘You must be mistaken, Manager.’

[!]

Hector put his hand into his mouth again.

I have already received the ‘administrator’s approval’ and have gained power. ‘Why should I follow your instructions?’

slam!

thud!

Soon, the corpses of the other necromancers of the expedition that Hector had devoured also popped out one by one. Every time, Jellysh let out a terrible scream.

[stop! That’s it! Those wasteful things! What are you doing! Listen to my instructions!]

‘I thought it was strange from the beginning.’

Even though he was past his prime, the regent was undoubtedly a strong man.

He was defeated by the dungeon owner so easily and in vain. The expedition, organized around the regent, simply disintegrated like dominoes falling.

However, Hector, who inherited some of the regent’s power, defeated the dungeon owner who even the regent could not defeat.

No matter how weak the dungeon owner was, the causal relationship was strange.

Jelusi even said this:

-It’s weak. It’s weak. As expected, its power is not even close to that of the regent.

‘The reason why the regent was defeated with unbelievable ease, and the reason why I, who was said to be unable to reach the regent’s feet, was able to catch the dungeon owner.’

dump. dump.

The corpses of the expedition members continued to pop out of Hector’s mouth.

‘It’s not clear what happened. You were disappointed in the regent, and after entering the dungeon, something went wrong with the regent’s body and the dungeon owner killed him. And you tried to find a human who was a little easier to control and manipulate them to your will. ‘A person like me is blinded by desire.’

[…You! Hector Moore!]

dump!

Another corpse popped out of Hector’s mouth.

‘My goal is clear.’

Hector’s eyes were red and bloodshot.

‘The one who defeats Simon Pollentia must be this ‘Hector Moore’, not someone’s puppet commander of the 6th Corps.’

Up!

Hector once again put his arm in his hand and grabbed the elongated thing that was most deeply rooted in this body. What my predecessor, the corps commander, said.

-I was already wrong. Beware of the snake’s tongue.

In order to gain power, he somehow becomes a corps commander. However, losing your body to a manager is a different matter.

We know clearly how the regent died, but we cannot face the same end as the regent.

‘I will not be ruled by anyone.’

Sigh!

Soon, a huge serpent came out of Hector’s mouth. Jelusy’s screams erupted.

[me! me! You fooled me! me]

‘If we have become one, there is no need to have two heads.’

He trampled the serpent roughly.

Pop! With a sound, the snake turned into flesh and scattered.

‘If you like my desire, you too can become my footstool.’

Huh.

Whoa whoa.

Hector was panting heavily.

Aleister, seeing his unusual physical condition, approached.

“Are you okay?”

Nod.

Hector nodded and wiped his mouth again.

“Now the misunderstanding that I killed the regent will be resolved.”

As he said that, he looked back at the overwhelmed people around him.

“The opponent was a dungeon lord powerful enough to go down in history, and the regent died by his hands. “The only way to destroy the dungeon lord was for someone to gain the power of the regent and continue the fight.”

Then he added:

“Just like you believed that I killed the regent, you are free to believe it or not.”

There was silence around.

Next, Hector looked at Aleister.

“I have a favor to ask.”

“what?”

“There is a place I need to go right now. Please prepare a teleportation magic circle.”

“…That’s troublesome.”

Aleister shook his head.

“Even if it has been proven that you were falsely accused, you are not completely cleared of the charges yet. “Please stay here until the investigation is completed…”

“Aleister!”

A headquarters employee came running carrying a communication crystal ball.

“Woah, there’s a problem!”

A headquarters employee whispered to Aleister, and Aleister’s expression hardened. His eyes turned to Hector for a moment and then returned.

“Isn’t there a problem in ‘Beln’, the territory of the 6th Legion?”

Hector said as if he knew everything.

“I will take care of it and come back.”

“You still…!”

“If the leader here was Nephthys-”

Hector said calmly.

“You would have sent me.”

“….”

Aleister, who was straining his eyes for a moment, laughed and sighed.

“You’re good at influencing a young guy’s personality.”

* * *

It was just as Hector said.

When the regent failed to return from the dungeon, upheaval occurred in his domain.

As the rumor spread that the regent had died in the dungeon, a huge rebellion broke out in the five archipelagos and the city-state of Beln, which were the regent’s territory.

-The regent is dead!

-Bring out the evil lord!

The military commanders of the five major archipelagoes became commanders and led the residents into Bellen.

The young lord of Beln also heard this news and personally led the soldiers out.

-and! Did it turn out well? Now there’s no regent to nag you for killing people! Kill it! Burn it all down!

As the two powers waged war, Veln and the archipelago became a battlefield. Many people lost their lives in several days of fighting, and their homes were burned.

The rebels decided that the regent died and that they had to take out the lord before the Union officials arrived.

The young lord also used this opportunity, in the absence of a regent, to recruit villagers, falsely accuse them, and kill them, saying that the rebels must be rooted out.

A situation filled with both sides’ madness.

The two forces clashed, prepared for mutual destruction.

The most intense battlefield was the ‘descending field’ spread out in front of Belln.

-Get it out!

-Kill them all!

In this battlefield that is fiercely unfolding from broad daylight.

Oooooh!

A huge teleportation magic circle unfolded in the sky.

A black pillar coming down soon.

It rained down from the sky and pierced the middle of the battlefield, creating a huge crater on the ground.

“Avoid!”

Ku-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!

Everyone was shocked and retreated.

There was a huge explosion sound and the entire surrounding area was covered with cloudy smoke. The necromancers of the archipelago trembled.

“This jet black is definitely the regent! “Has the regent returned?”

“Ha, but it’s strangely different!”

But it was not the regent who emerged from the darkness.

[Stop.]

black dragon.

It opened its mouth and howled.

―――――――――!!!

An ultra-wide-range Dragon Fear with added power as a corps commander.

The cry echoed through everyone in Bellen, and even reached people living on archipelagos off the sea.

Everyone on the battlefield lost their will to fight as the dragon fear spread. There are those who squirm, those who sit down and pee their pants, and those who tremble with only weapons in their hands.

The black dragon, who had broken the will to war with a single being, turned his head.

[Commander of the 5 Islands, please come forward.]

The five commanders who led the rebellion hesitantly walked out to assess the situation. Soon, the dragon’s form melted and turned into a man.

[From now on, you listen to my instructions as the guardian of the archipelago.]

“You are not the regent!”

“I see what happened.”

One of the commanders waved his arm with a wry smile.

“You killed the regent in the dungeon and took over the 6th Legion! Do you think we will obey outsiders?”

[Not me.]

Hector raised his arms.

[Obey the power I have.]

Flap!

Flap!

Everyone’s eyes turned to the sky.

From that high canyon, the ‘Night Wyvern’, whose sole duty was to protect Veln and the five islands, was flying this way.

Cheok!

chuck!

Then he landed on the floor and bowed his head to Hector.

“Go, the strongest confidants to outsiders…!”

“Unbelievable.”

Among the undead swarming in the canyon, the fact that the Night Wyvern obeyed meant that all of the undead in the canyon obeyed the new master of the 6th Legion.

An unwinnable war.

One by one, the commanders bowed their heads and knelt down on one knee toward Hector.

“Meet the new guardian of the archipelago.”

“Meet the Guardian.”

Hector, who simply obeyed them, turned his head to the left this time.

There, you can see the young lord of Bellen riding on a military carriage and making a dumbfounded expression. Hector walked towards him step by step.

“oh! good job! good job! “To defeat the rebels in one fell swoop!”

The young lord of Belen clapped his hands with excitement.

“Are you the regent’s replacement? Well, since he seems to have power, I will especially use him as my right arm. Protect me from now on! That is the duty of the 6th Corps….”

“no.”

Hot!

Hector stretched out his arm and grabbed the flirtatious young lord sitting in the military carriage by the back of his neck, throwing him to the floor.

“I will dethrone the current lord with the authority of the guardian.”

“!!”

The mouths of the lord’s officials and soldiers opened wide.

A sudden dethronement.

The young lord was suddenly dragged down and rolled around on the dirt, crying, but Hector did not even flinch.

“you you!”

The young lord pointed with a red face at the humiliation he suffered for the first time in his life.

“The 6th Legion is the regent’s representative! The regent put me in this position! I don’t know? Why does the world call him regent! “Do you even know what you’re doing?”

“know.”

Hector looked down at the young lord with bloody eyes.

“But I am not a regent.”

“!”

“The regent was a good man, but he was not a good ruler.”

Just as the manager of the 6th Legion retrieved Hector’s memories, Hector also saw the memories of the manager of the 6th Legion.

The regent declined his friend’s offer to cede power, and stepped aside to allow his son to rule over Beln, becoming regent.

However, the son was crooked and became a traitor as he listened to treacherous officials who spoke sweet things.

Was it atonement for being called a ‘madman’ in the past, killing countless people and betraying his comrades? The regent was overly obsessed with protecting his people for the rest of his life, which led to many evils.

The reality of his regent was that he was not a good minister.

He was a bystander.

“There is no more representative government.”

Hector raised the jet black and transformed into the form of a dragon.

He kicked off his feet and flew into the sky.

Coo coo coo coo coo coo!

Night Wyverns escort him as he flies. In an instant, he reached high altitude and climbed over Bellen to the highest peak of the Grand Canyon located behind Bellen.

The top overlooking the territory and the archipelago.

There was a throne on the rock wall.

Ssssss!

Hector, who has returned to his human form, walks to the throne.

[From now on, I will rule over Beln. Not being controlled by anyone, this is my way.]

Then he turned his back to himself and sat down.

His pitch blackness flashed.

Kiiiiii!

KEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

The undead in the canyon woke up and howled in response to Hector’s power.

[I am a legionnaire.]

* * *

With the appearance of Hector, the confusion in Beln was put to rest.

And one of the archipelago’s commanders quietly hid behind a rock wall and lifted up a communication crystal ball.

“…Fall is the steps of revolution.”

He said the keyword in a hushed voice.

“Yes, the plan went wrong.”

The man’s arms were trembling, as if the Dragon Fear’s influence still remained.

“The chaos in Beln has ended. “The new sixth corps commander… doesn’t seem to be an ordinary person.”

He sighed and then continued speaking.

“We will retreat from Beln.”
