Necromancer Academy’s Genius Summoner

Necromancer School’s Summoning Genius Episode 1026

Simon was having the busiest and hectic day of his third year.

I took integrated classes during the day and a military studies class in the afternoon.

Of course, regardless of the Legionnaires’ class, I went over to the jungle of screams whenever I had time.

The goal is ‘complete conquest’ of the Screaming Jungle. He wanted to make this his area for the revival and reconstruction of the Skullwing unit, which was a small air force in the 7th Legion.

The key here is to build a system that functions continuously without Simon or other ancient undead present.

To achieve this, Simon worked hard and actively asked for help from people around him.

Of course, the person who helped me the most was Jean Arskalt.

-Want me to tell you how to give orders to Skullwing without directly giving absolute orders?

-yes!

-You’re trying to eat it raw, you cheeky one.

Simon watched how Jin operated the Legion’s territory in ‘Vilkenos’, northern Kalos, which he visited in his second year. It was like getting a glimpse of the most ideal blueprint.

The 2nd Corps moved to block the Northern God’s troops without any other instructions. When the northern army’s human soldiers planted their flags, Jin even shot arrows at them. Everything was well prepared.

I wanted to make the jungle of screams like that too.

After hearing Simon’s request, Jin went to the blackboard and wrote down a long equation in chalk.

-Unfold a magic circle exclusively for the corps, convert commands into runes, and maintain them. When it passes through the magic circle, the undead are given orders.

What Jin taught was a new technology that allows commands to be applied simply by legion-type undead passing through a magic circle.

Although it is not as effective as an absolute command, new instructions can be given just by touching the magic circle.

Simon had the Skullwings flying in the sky pass through the magic circle sequentially.

It started very simply.

〈After patrolling the mission area five times, pass through the rest magic circle. → When all the darkness in the rest magic circle fills up, pass through the patrol magic circle.〉

If you input ‘move to the next magic circle’ as the end of the command to the undead, you can perform a kind of rotation. It started out simple, but I added more and more other commands along the way.

In this way, the radius of Skullwing’s activities increased and the territory of the 7th Legion expanded, but the resistance of native monsters naturally became stronger.

In the first place, because Skullwing itself was a flying undead, it was pushed out of competition with large groups of ground monsters unless Simon directly commanded it. The loss of troops also increased.

‘…I wish I could send an army and wipe them out.’

That’s just a temporary stopgap measure. It doesn’t fit the purpose of Jin’s Legion Studies class. So, after thinking about it for a while, an idea suddenly occurred to me.

‘that’s right! Professor Bahil’s Legion Curse!’

A discipline founded by Bahil during his vacation.

The key feature of this system, so-called ‘Legion Curse Science’, was to utilize the pitch blackness of the Legion-type undead to exert the curse effect.

I just laid out the blueprint and looked at it a little, and the design of the magic circle was eye-popping. I thought Bahil was a genius. No, even the word genius was not enough.

Of course, there was a bit of Bahil’s tendency here, and I wasn’t very happy with the idea of treating legion-type undead as ‘bullet’ to use curses, but it was worth using.

In any case, I decided to try it out in real life just to get my money’s worth.

After class, Simon went to the jungle of screams and drew a magic circle on the floor as he had practiced.

-Kruk?

-Gigigi!

The surrounding Skullwings came snooping around out of curiosity to take a look. Basically, legion-type summons had a tendency to feel close to the corps leader’s pitch-black magic.

Simon, who completed the magic circle in a little more than an hour, drew six circles at each corner of the magic circle.

“Guys, do you want to stand here?”

-Keeee!

A Skullwing that was watching flew over and sat in the circle in the corner.

Ugh!

Then, the Skull Wing and the magic circle began to resonate, and the pitch blackness of the Skull Wing flowed into the magic circle and began to exert a curse effect.

Skullwing stayed calm even as his jet black was sucked in.

“It’s a success! “Everyone else, come in!”

The other five Skullwings all approached and filled the place.

When a legion-type undead, Skullwing, goes and sits down, pitch black flows from the undead’s core, turns on the magic circle, and causes a curse effect.

Skullwing is basically an undead that uses a technique called ‘Curse Feather’, so it has good compatibility with curses.

‘good! This can also be done in six hour rotations.’

Among the various curses that can be used, it was confirmed that by deploying ‘Metus’, a curse that instills biological fear and aversion in monsters, around the area, the attacks of attacking monsters were greatly reduced.

‘This is it! With this technology, you will be able to protect your nest for sure!’

Using the magic circle that grants commands taught by Jin, I had Skullwing use scouting, resting, and cursing alternately.

The effect was clear, and the corps’ territory expanded in an instant. Even without Simon, the Skullwings were steadily maintaining their territory and increasing their population.

Simon, who was watching, clenched his fists.

‘Okay, I wanted to build a system like this!’

* * *

Another week has passed.

It was a rotation system that Simon was confident was perfect, but as time passed, some cracks appeared.

There were cases where the system was disrupted because Skullwing refused orders, left the area, or intentionally did not pass through the magic circle after performing its mission.

Simon consulted with several professors about this problem, but did not receive a clear answer. No matter how many professors at Keygen, this is an area that the corps commander has no experience with. This was something Simon had to pioneer on his own.

so.

[Hahaha! Excellent!]

This time, I brought Peer with me.

Because he was still busy working on the issue of joining the 5th Corps, he was unable to properly observe the current situation through self-immolation.

Then, Peer, who came to the jungle of screams at Simon’s request, looked at the completely changed jungle of screams and smiled with satisfaction.

Countless nests, busy Skullwings, magic circles manifesting curses, everything was running steadily on its own. It was a truly spectacular scene created by legion-type undead even without the command of the corps commander, Simon.

[Is this how much progress has been made while we haven’t seen each other for a while? It amazes me every time I see it! Boy!]

“Ahaha….”

Simon scratched his head sheepishly.

Peer looked around once again and his eyes glowed sharply.

[However, it is clear that there are areas that need improvement!]

Undead that refuse orders or react in opposition.

Or the undead that escape from the system as if it is broken.

Peer said that the theories and black magic you learn at school are not everything, and that you need an in-depth understanding of the undead.

[First of all, it’s a question of a waiting area!]

Peer said, looking at the Skullwings sitting on the floor.

[Skullwings are based on a monster called ‘Harpy’. Harpies live high in trees, so they become anxious when they come down to the ground. Even Skullwings who have become undead must take this into account!]

“Even if they are undead, they still have the habits and habits of a living creature, right?”

[That’s right! Mass-produced legion undead that are not undead but are created directly from the nest also contain the genes of other Skullwings! The story cannot be told without considering the habits of the undead!]

“So that’s it!”

According to Peer, when on the ground, Skullwings are instinctively wary of being attacked by wild animals or natural enemies, so they continuously use jet black to maintain a guard system.

It is not possible to properly restore the core and pitch darkness. Rest efficiency decreases.

It’s a basic part, but I missed it because I was focusing too much on building the corps system.

“I will help the Skullwings recover the darkness from high places!”

I thought about planting trees or creating a place for Skullwing to sit.

[The same goes for this wide-range curse.]

Peer approached and laughed when he saw Skullwing casting the curse.

[It was only manufactured with specifications to increase the efficiency of the curse, with no consideration for the user, Skullwing! Ask the human who created this to change it to specifications that better suit Skullwing!]

“Of course! “I’ll go to Professor Bahil’s lab this evening!”

In this way, Simon added Peer’s advice and further improved the perfection of the Skull Wing area.

In particular, it was important to appoint some of the old Skullwings that were active with Archemus when he was alive as ‘leaders’ and have them follow orders. Harpies are individuals that work in groups, and they boast even stronger attack power when working as a designated group.

Of course, even the older Skullwing entities did not have the intelligence of the Ancient Undead, but just by establishing a central point, the overall level of the organization increased.

In addition.

-Oh, yes! You need a poison that can pierce an ogre’s skin, right?

Either get help from Byulya and use poison on the Skullwings.

-Alaze. Skullwing’s ability to maintain flight can be strengthened with some skeletal improvements. Start now.

As a large amount of data on Skullwing was collected, Alaze personally improved Skullwing.

Now, the 7th Legion’s Skullwing colony has established itself as the most powerful force in the entire ecosystem of the Screaming Jungle.

* * *

‘Now it’s so perfect that I don’t need to do any more work.’

Today, I was listening to administrative theory in an integrated class, but Simon was thinking about something else and was smiling brightly.

I’m at school, but I can’t concentrate in class. It seems like I left my whole mind in the jungle of screams.

How far have the Skullwings expanded their territory today, and are there any problems?

As I sit quietly studying at school, the corps is getting stronger on its own. I couldn’t help but be happy because I created such a system with my own strength.

Simon slowly turned his gaze to look at Hector. He also opened his notebook with a hardened expression and was scribbling down a blueprint for an undead colony with a quill pen.

Hector was also seriously attending his legionary studies class.

In the beginning, they faced the border with Simon, but were eventually pushed back by Simon’s Skull Wing forces, but since the legionology class was not over yet, they decided to start anew somewhere else.

In the first place, the ground was not a good area for his main force, the Death Wyverns, to operate. He settled in a larger canyon at the end of the Screaming Jungle, and was increasing the number of wyverns by creating an environment similar to his territory, ‘Beln’.

The canyon is good for blocking attacks from monsters, and since the wyvern’s nest is located at the end of the cave, there is no need to worry about being attacked.

While Simon worked hard to build a system and created his colony on flat land, Hector actively utilized the terrain and nature. In addition, Hector began to set up the corps system he learned this time in his own territory, Veln, and paid more attention to building the base area rather than the jungle of screams.

Of course, neither of them were directly involved in the environment. Before this was an area expansion, it was also a Legion Studies class.

Something that cannot be solved through force alone. So it seemed like I was even more immersed.

“Hey, is something looking good these days?”

During the break, Dick was flirting and hit Simon on the arm with his elbow. Simon smiled and nodded.

“We’re doing interesting experiments in our corps studies class.”

“Oh, what is it? “Please let me know too!”

Simon told Dick the story of the jungle of screams.

He quietly listened to the story and snapped his fingers.

“Hey! Wait, this is going to make money?”

Even when talking about the same undead, Dick first thought of money.

“Do you know how many adventurers have tried to explore the Screaming Jungle? “This is awesome!”

He rummaged through his bag, took out a map of the continent, and unfolded it. Among them was the jungle of screams.

“What territory do you occupy?”

“About this.”

Because it had to withstand the omnidirectional attacks of monsters, it naturally became a picture of the area spreading out with its back to the river.

Dick said he knew that too, and he snapped his fingers and pointed to the map.

“Then, let’s continue to expand the corps’ territory along the river. It doesn’t matter because someday the entire Screaming Jungle will be expanded into the territory of the 7th Legion, right? “For now, keep going like this for a long time.”

Simon tilted his head.

“It doesn’t matter, but what good would it be to expand the territory along the river like that?”

Dick grinned and raised his fingertips.

“It’s money! In the name of the 7th Legion, let us secure the safety of this place and then collect the toll. “We are pioneering a jungle route!”

“Yes?”

“Now that you are the official commander of the corps, there will be no problem with the kingdom’s laws. Can you give me a briefing tomorrow?”

Dick’s ability to act when he smelled money was amazing.

The very next day, Dick gathered together all the major merchants he knew in Rochester.

That’s how I came to my senses.

“…?”

Before he knew it, Simon was surrounded by the continent’s top merchants with shining eyes.
