Necromancer Academy’s Genius Summoner – 417



Episode 417

Whiiiiiiiing—!

Simon and Lethe were climbing the snowy mountain enduring the harsh cold.

‘Wow I’m really going crazy.’

The chill penetrated my collar and my snot froze midway from running down.

All I can see is a white sloping road with no end in sight.

It’s hard to walk because the snow is so deep under your feet. Plus attacks from snow mountain monsters. My physical strength dropped quickly.

Simon who is from the Les Hill mountainous area also thought this was his first time hiking on such a dangerous mountain.

“Lethe! are you okay?”

“Yes it’s okay.”

Lethe’s brave reply was heard from a short distance away. Her surroundings were full of corpses of snow mountain monsters.

At this point isn’t she a saint of blood rather than a saint of the stars?

Everywhere she walked the snow field was stained blood red. Yet his white robe and hair remained completely pure white.

“They are chasing after me really persistently.”

Her cheeks turned red she put her hands together and took a deep breath.

“Lete the cold weather is too harsh to climb today.”

Simon decided to bring up the story that had been on his lips several times.

“How about retreating for now and coming back later?”

“Sometime later.”

Lethe’s reaction was cold.

“This bitter cold will last for several months. Going back will only give you more excuses. Absolutely today! If we don’t find Escail Village today we must go with the mindset that we will freeze.”

“……Are you serious?”

“Yes I’m serious.”

Simon was amazed inwardly.

In fact Simon was less tired because he had so much experience hiking but Lethe who has lived on flat land all her life must have had several times more difficulty. However he was silently climbing the mountain cutting through the monsters without making a single sound of displeasure.

Burbubbubbuk!

The sound of Lethe’s sacred arrow smashing the monsters’ heads was heard.

“It’s good that the battle warms up my body.”

Once again she turned the area around her into a sea of ​​blood and came closer blowing her breath.

“Blessing of raising body temperature. Do you need more?”

Simon shook his head.

“are you okay. Now I can do it on my own.”

“……What?”

Warmth.

It is a blessing-type white magic that prevents chills and maintains body temperature.

At the beginning of the hike Simon closely examined the structure of the magic circle that Lethe had placed for him and practiced it whenever he had time while braving the bitter cold. And geary.

<Warmth>

Paaaat!

He succeeded in completing the blessing through his own efforts. Lethe let out a laugh.

“I did something stupid a while ago…”

The necromancer is using white magic. Even though what was happening right now was real Lethe could not easily believe it.

Is this person really a necromancer?

-Then how about thinking about it like this? What if Simon is not a necromancer but just a separate entity?

Now that I think about it Ellen an Afnel impersonator whom I briefly met on the Shinsung Train said this.

A separate entity.

If you think about it it’s true. This guy is definitely too much to be called a necromancer…

“What are you thinking like that?”

When Simon suddenly asked Lethe was startled and took a step back.

“ka I’m surprised! You were surprised!”

“?”

Lethe growled and glared at Simon before huffing and turning her head.

“After all its very existence is blasphemy. you are.”

“……suddenly?”

“Wait a moment.”

She came over and opened the front of Simon’s clothes. Simon blushed and hesitated but she glared at him tightening her hands as if to tell him to stay still.

“I heard you called Worms earlier. Is it warm now?”

“……Oh come to think of it.”

It was cold.

As time passed the number of warms was reduced to 2 so I added another layer to maintain 3 but it didn’t feel that warm.

“If you have eyes take a look.”

Lethe pointed to the magic circle drawn on Simon’s body.

2-overlapping state. Simon’s blessing has gone and only the effect of Lethe’s blessing remains.

“Why are you doing this? I definitely walked correctly.”

“What runes did you use?”

“Isn’t it Cantherium?”

“What is the formula? Did you know about white code and flat notes?”

“What is that?”

She sighed softly.

“To overlap a blessing you must cast a blessing that matches it exactly. Your curses seem to intentionally twist the formula to make them difficult to solve but blessings are different.”

She put her palms together and placed them on Simon’s chest.

My hands were warm probably because there was a worms hanging on them.

Soon she closed her eyes and chanted a spell in a low voice.

‘ah.’

The existing 2-stack Worms were deleted and a new 3-stack Worms was added.

“I applied that method.”

Lethe removed her hand and grinned.

“It’s warm right?”

“…….”

Simon was about to say thank you but Lethe turned away.

“I’ll teach you properly when I get to the village. La Escream.”

Simon came to his senses at those words.

“……Really?”

“If you complete this mission you will receive compensation from Israfil but anyway you are working hard for the Holy Federation. I guess we can show some mercy like this.”

As she said that she suddenly made a sharp and angry expression.

“ah! To be honest your La Escream that I used early in the morning was so bad! My whole face got hot when I saw it! If you’re going to use my original do it properly.”

Simon stepped back and laughed at the sudden change in atmosphere.

“I’ll do it right from now on.”

“Don’t go around saying it’s a white magic I created! Because it’s embarrassing!”

Lethe turned her head and walked away.

‘I took care of him then he treated me well and then he got angry. ‘He does as he pleases.’

And more than anything Simon was a little surprised that Lethe would teach him white magic.

I thought that if it were her personality she would be more vigilant to keep Kigen’s special case number 1 in check.

“Come quickly! I’m freezing to death!”

“Oh yes. I’ll go!”

* * *

Whiiiiiiiing!

Three hours had passed since then and the bitter cold never seemed to stop.

‘You’re not going down even if you do this? ‘Even if it’s like this?’

It seemed as if the cold weather was saying that. Simon was impressed by his own talent for communicating with Mother Nature and wondered what it would be like to be a druid instead of a necromancer.

‘Wow I’m really freezing to death.’

Although I continued to receive thermal blessings my physical and mental strength were now reaching their limits.

Above all I couldn’t tell where I was because of the snowstorm so I didn’t even know if I was moving forward properly. I felt like I was going around the same place over and over again.

Rustle.

Simon unfolded the rough map given by Israel. But this wasn’t enough to get there. Because the snowstorm was so severe I couldn’t distinguish objects on the map.

“Lethe. They say that if you can’t find Eskail Village you’ll just freeze to death. Still the same?”

“……Pfft!”

She blushed bit her lip and eventually screamed.

“It’s all natural! It’s a sword you’ll definitely find!”

Then he started to look around with a sigh.

“Don’t overdo it.”

After saying a gentle word Simon also started exploring.

‘uh?’

But then I sensed someone nearby.

Simon quietly took out his sword and walked forward.

I saw something.

As I got closer I saw someone sitting down rummaging through their eyes.

“ok? what?”

I found Simon first over there. It was a man in his early to mid 30s dressed in fur.

“what! you! How did you get here?”

‘It’s a person!!’

Simon’s face brightened.

“Ho Are you a resident of Eskail Village? We…!”

“Are you guys out of your mind?”

The man suddenly screamed.

“What should I do if I climb a mountain in this harsh cold? What would you have done if you were eaten by a snow woman?”

“……Snow girl?”

Now that I think about it I’ve heard about it in Kula too.

About the legend of the snow woman.

“Whether it’s a snow girl or a saint they haven’t been eaten yet so it’s okay.”

Lethe approached speaking cynically.

“You heard the story right? We came as teachers to Escail. Could you please guide me to the village?”

“Yes yes. Quickly follow me!”

The man walked ahead with long strides. Simon was greatly relieved and thought that he had finally survived.

“uh?”

But this man.

“Am I there?!”

Even though it was a snowy field it was incredibly fast. Instead of waiting for the two people he walked alone.

It’s getting further away.

“Let’s go together!”

Moreover due to the continuous cold weather and snowstorms his appearance was repeatedly hidden and visible.

At that time Simon became anxious and tried to increase his speed.

“Wait a minute.”

Lethe grabbed his shoulder.

“what’s the matter? I’m going to miss this!”

“Something is strange.”

Her eyes narrowed.

“My body was blurry.”

“Aren’t you mistaken because of the snowstorm?”

The moment Simon said that and took a step forward.

Whoosh!

Suddenly the ground beneath my feet sank downward.

“!!”

Whiiiiiiiing!

When I came to my senses there was a cliff right in front of me. It was so dark that I couldn’t see the floor and pieces of stone were falling down.

“Ugh!”

Lethe was frowning and holding Simon’s hand.

“I told you so!”

She gritted her teeth and strengthened her arms.

“Something strange!!”

Buaaaaaaaa!

Simon’s vision flipped. His body flew in a circle and landed on the soft snow.

“ha. ha.”

Simon’s eyes were still shaking as if he couldn’t believe it.

and.

I witnessed it.

The sight of a woman barefoot and wearing a white dress glaring at me with blood-red pupils in the snowy field of a snowy mountain in the bitter cold.

As if it was regrettable.

As I quench my appetite.

‘…!’

Goosebumps appeared on my arms and the hair on my entire body stood up.

Simon stood up to check her identity but the woman’s body disappeared along with the bitter cold.

“are you okay?”

Lethe approached.

“Lethe! Did you just see it?”

“What do you mean?”

“Red-eyed woman in white clothes!”

“…….”

Lethe frowned.

“I didn’t see it. Aren’t you mistaken because of the blizzard?”

“…….”

Simon touched his forehead. So many things were happening at once that I couldn’t come to my senses.

But there is no time to sit around like this.

“let’s go. This way.”

“Is that you? Also if you see something strange and become possessed it’s troublesome.”

“Then you can save me then too.”

“……Wow you live a comfortable life. great. Let’s take the lead.”

Simon took Lethe and walked straight in the direction where the snow woman was earlier.

Did I walk through the snowstorm for about 20 minutes?

“ah!”

Two stone towers appeared in their field of vision.

“Found it! This is the entrance to the village shown on the map!”

Lethe finally smiled and opened her palm.

“It’s pretty good!”

match!

The two people lightly high-fived and stood in front of the stone tower.

“So how does it work?”

There was a small space in the body of the two stone towers where you could put your hand and two stones were piled inside it.

Below is the text:

<People melt into people>

Simon rested his chin in deep thought and Lethe frowned as she looked inside the stone tower.

“……I just hate puzzles like this.”

On the other hand Simon moved actively. After checking the size of the stone tower and figuring out the shape of the stones on top I even touched the stones myself.

‘It’s smooth. Unusual material.’

As Simon touched it the stone on top of it fell down.

Simon tried to raise it again but it slipped and fell. It was the same no matter how many times I tried.

‘How did they get this up here? ……ah!

As Simon looked at the words one more time an idea crossed his mind.

“Now I understand!”

“Did you solve it?”

“huh. It’s simple.”

Simon picked up two stones inside the stone tower. Lethe next to me also followed suit.

“Place the snow around the stone. Like during a snowball fight.”

I made two snowballs and then glued them together to make a snowman shape. It was placed in the empty space of the stone tower.

“What can be done with this?”

Lete also followed suit with a calm expression.

And not long after.

“Melting!”

The snowman began to melt so quickly that it was hard to believe what kind of magical device was installed in the stone tower.

In almost a minute all the snow melted and the two rocks on his head and body finally stuck together.

It has returned to the same state as when it was first discovered.

Oooooh!

Then a large magic circle spread in the space between the stone towers revealing the entrance to the barrier.

“Did you see it?”

Simon said confidently.

“Hmph well done. Still even slugs have a knack for rolling.”

Lethe walked forward with great strides and put her hand into the barrier. Simon flinched.

“Aren’t you being too careful?”

“What would you be afraid of? I am a star saint.”

She waved her hand inside the barrier and pulled it out. Soon he boldly put his face in and pulled it out.

“It’s safe. Let’s go.”

The two people threw themselves into the barrier at the same time.

and.

“……!”

I opened my mouth at the world that opened up before my eyes.
