Necromancer Academy’s Genius Summoner – 423



Episode 423

“There is no need for a lengthy explanation. I will go over the most important points first.”

As Lethe said that she opened the very back page of her notebook.

“What if it’s the key?”

“The identity of the bitter cold.”

She flicked the quill between her fingers.

“The severe cold that is currently covering this region is not the wrath of the snow woman or temporary climate change.”

“Then what do you think?”

The corners of her mouth rose.

“Anomalies in the dungeon.”

It was a concept Simon already knew.

The moment a dungeon occurs on the continent an unknown disaster that cannot be explained naturally occurs around it.

The continent defines it as an abnormal phenomenon in the dungeon.

“Have you ever been to a dungeon?”

“huh. Just recently.”

Simon had also seen abnormal phenomena in the dungeon with his own eyes.

The volcanic island I went to by boat during the ‘promotion evaluation’ which was the final exam of the first year.

It was originally said to be a peaceful island where indigenous people lived together. However even though the geological structure is such that volcanoes cannot occur a large-scale volcano erupted.

And a portal to a dungeon revealed in the middle of magma. I still had a clear memory of all first-year students diving into magma.

“That would make the story go faster.”

Lethe grabbed the quill and sketched the cave at the top of the mountain in her notebook.

“The cave you saw a few days ago when I lit up the mountain with white magic looks something like this right?”

“……There’s really nothing you can’t do.”

Lethe’s sketches were also top-notch. She tapped it with the tip of her quill.

“I think this cave is the entrance to the dungeon.”

Simon nodded and crossed his arms.

“That’s my opinion too. If this prediction is correct destroying the dungeon will end the current abnormal phenomenon right?”

“I guess so.”

Lethe closed her eyes and took a sip of the smoky tea. It smelled like warm grain.

“This dungeon must have existed without being cleared for quite some time. Because the abnormal phenomenon has spread beyond the mountain range to Kula. It must have been at least several decades.”

“Then what about the legend of the Snow Maiden and the people of Mizenashi?”

“I told you about children’s books earlier right? What do you think the purpose of these Mizenashi people is?”

Simon closed his eyes for a moment and was lost in thought.

“plural.”

Eventually his mouth opened.

“Revenge on Kula Village which chased them out into the cold mountains.”

Instead of answering Lethe spread her palms with a chic expression. These two are mates! I high-fived loudly.

“That’s the correct answer. Originally Kula was probably a place where people from the Mizenasi side lived. However they were tricked by the Kula people and driven out to the snowy mountains and they have revenge on Kula.”

She picked up her quill and drew a north-north circle in the cave she had drawn earlier.

“As they were sharpening their blades for revenge one day they happened to discover this dungeon in the snowy mountains. And we decide to take advantage of the abnormal phenomenon that the dungeon causes. Snow woman legend? Snow Woman’s Wrath? It’s just a story that Mizenashi made up. It’s a deception to hide the dungeon’s identity.”

Even in the Holy Federation when a dungeon is discovered a raid team is dispatched by gathering paladins priests and treasure hunters.

So the people of Mizenashi must have desperately tried to hide the dungeon. If the dungeon is destroyed revenge on Kula will become impossible.

“This here.”

Lethe dropped the torn pieces of paper from her subspace bag.

“This is the sword that was attached to the rock when we searched the snowy mountain yesterday.”

“What is this?”

“amulet. It is a barrier using pure elemental magic. It’s an effect that makes you see illusions or get lost.”

Simon quietly looked at the remains of the amulet.

“It’s the Mizenashi people’s doing. They are using magic to prevent anyone from accessing the dungeon.”

Lethe nodded.

“Hmm but I still don’t know what the ‘offering’ is.”

“I think that is also a means for Mizenashi to prove and maintain the existence of the snow maiden to the villagers.”

Simon is at worst a human sacrifice. It was thought to be a ritual in which people were sacrificed to the snow woman.

It may have been used as a means to eliminate anyone who escaped Mizenashi’s control or witnessed a secret. It is highly likely that the teachers who came before were also sacrificed.

“Be careful. We could easily become targets too.”

“yes.”

Lethe yawned loudly.

“Then I will sleep for a while and then leave at dawn today. I’m also worried about Kula’s situation and want to find the dungeon and settle the matter as soon as possible.”

“okay.”

Lethe who was about to enter the living room glanced back at Simon.

“You don’t look refreshed yet. Is there something you’re worried about?”

“If the legend of the Snow Maiden was made up by Mizenashi…”

Simon crossed his arms with a worried look on his face.

“What is that gray-haired woman I keep seeing?”

“aha.”

Lethe grinned.

“The girl behind you?”

The hairs all over my body stood up.

Simon moved his shaky head and looked back.

Whiiiiing!

There was no one.

When I turned my head back Lethe held my stomach and said ‘Ahaha!’ was laughing Simon’s face turned red with embarrassment.

“Lethe!!”

“That’s exciting. This is revenge for making fun of a saint while talking about her in the cathedral.”

She pursed her lips and ran into the living room. Simon sighed.

“Isn’t it obvious?”

At that time her voice was heard from the room.

“Who is imitating a snow woman to scare and warn us?”

* * *

Dawn when everyone is asleep.

Simon and Lethe put on their outerwear and left the dormitory. I ran secretly in the dark looking around to see if anyone was there.

“The village is very quiet today.”

Simon said.

“Well that’s probably because everyone is sleeping.”

Lethe said.

The two took the shortest route across the field and arrived at the entrance to the village.

The barrier was transparent but only the exit area was glowing bluish.

“let’s go.”

Simon took the lead and passed the barrier and came out.

and.

“……!”

His face hardened in embarrassment.

‘No Lethe! If you come in now…!’

Simon tried to stop him but Lethe had already arrived next to him. Her pupils also shook.

“…….”

“…….”

‘Everyone’ in Eskail village was outside wearing fur clothes and glaring at them with scary eyes.

“I would have said so.”

Percussion. Percussion.

And the one who came out of the crowd of people holding a cane was the leader of this village.

“Never leave the village until work is finished.”

It was Nenia Mizenashi.

She glared at Simon and Lethe.

“……The two teachers broke the village rules. Why did you come to this town?”

The situation is already irreversible.

Just as Lethe was about to say something Simon stepped forward and placed his hand on her shoulder.

“I came to teach children.”

“You’re lying even in this situation. I also knew that you guys kept going outside the barrier and doing suspicious things.”

Nenia stretched out her arm and pointed to the side.

The guard guarding the barrier had collapsed with severe injuries. There were frozen fingernail marks on the chest that looked like they had been made by a snow woman and the barrier was also damaged.

“I incurred the wrath of the snow woman!”

Starting with someone’s cry.

“I asked you to stay like that!”

“Because of you even the small village suffered damage!”

Anger and protests poured in from angry residents.

Lethe glanced towards Simon. Simon was watching her too. The two people exchanged glances.

“Yes I am sorry.”

Lethe spread her arms and opened her mouth.

“I will accept whatever punishment you give me. For example-”

Her mouth twitched.

“Saying young people as ‘sacrifices’ to the snow woman to quell her anger.”

At those words the surrounding murmur suddenly stopped.

Lethe glared at Petria who was next to Nenia. Petria couldn’t even make eye contact and kept her head down like a criminal.

“Petra. You said you don’t have any friends your age in town right? People who were more afraid of being kicked out of the village because of the rules would not have gone out on their own. Teachers who were outsiders also disappeared. This is also……”

“stop!”

Nenia Mizenashi walked one step further holding her cane.

“Are you here to investigate the disappearance of former teachers? You probably won’t find it. Those people also broke the village rules and were kicked out of the barrier. He must have frozen to death somewhere on this snowy mountain.”

“…….”

“Same this time too. We will not punish you or lay our hands on you!”

Cheok!

chuck!

The villagers split up and made a road.

“I will expel you from the village. Please leave right now.”

In fact kicking them out from a snowy mountain in the middle of the night in the bitter cold was no different from leaving them to die.

“Let’s go.”

“huh.”

But the two walked calmly. The villagers’ eyes were stinging but Simon didn’t show anything.

Because it was going to happen someday.

“Mr. Sean! Teacher Sean!”

“No! Teacher Leah!”

At that moment the children of the village came running crying loudly.

“Why is he like this?”

“embrace!”

The adults tried to stop them but the children shook off their parents’ touches and clung to Simon and Lete.

“teacher! Don’t go! Don’t die!”

“No! teacher! Hmm! Sniff!”

The surroundings became quiet due to the unexpected situation.

Simon and Lethe lowered their posture and smiled as they patted the children’s heads.

Even though life in this village was fake he was sincere when he taught the children.

Simon smiled at the children feeling his heart warming on one side.

“I won’t die. I will definitely be able to meet you later. everyone.”

At that time the children’s bodies were engulfed in cold and they fell from the two people.

The children walked away crying and beyond them the wizards of Mizenashi could be seen with their palms spread out.

“Please leave.”

Nenia Mizenasi said hitting the floor with her staff.

So Simon and Lethe were expelled from the village.

* * *

Whiiiiiiiing!

A night of bitter cold and snowstorms.

Simon and Lethe were running like crazy with their legs raised.

“I accidentally got into a time attack but it’s good!”

Lethe said with a grin.

“Let’s clear the dungeon within one day and end this terrible cold!”

“That’s right.”

It wasn’t just wandering around in the snowy mountains.

Lethe who was running in the snow found a rock and stretched out her arms.

<Holy Bolt>

When the rock was struck with holy magic the surrounding air split apart and shattered.

“First clear.”

This time an avalanche poured down from the mountain hill. Simon stretched out his arms.

“Corpse explosion.”

The zombies that had been hidden at the point last night exploded with light.

The unstable ground on one side collapsed sending a landslide into it.

“The second time must also be cleared.”

In addition he threw the corpse of a previously captured monster to attract the attention of other monsters and broke through various obstacles such as breaking an illusion or walking straight through a distorted maze magic.

result of experience.

The two continued to find shortcuts and analyze traps in the snowy mountains.

“Let’s check the direction at this point.”

When Lethe activated the magic circle light flashed from the top of the mountain range shrouded in bitter cold.

The luminous magic ‘Illumination’ that Lethe had installed in the cave in advance was showing the way.

“It’s this way!”

“okay!”

Overcome six obstacles in three hours.

The two of them had no idea it would turn out this well.

Now they were climbing towards the top of the increasingly steep mountain.

“I can see a cave over there!”

Right at that moment.

Up! Tup!

My leg was caught by something. Soon the snow floor rose and a huge ice golem came out.

“Suddenly what…!”

The ice golem threw the two people off a pitch-black cliff with no visible bottom. The two people’s screams became increasingly distant.

-…….

After disposing of the intruder as ordered the golem changed its posture again and crouched down.

however.

Buaaaaaaaa!

Out of nowhere the two people who had just been dropped flew up.

On the right was Lethe hanging on the divine tree in the form of a bird and on the left was Simon climbing up the cliff as Akalion.

“Do not disturb!”

“Do not disturb!”

The boy and girl jumped off the sacred tree at the same time and threw a kick.

Lethe’s leg struck the golem’s head and Simon’s leg struck the golem’s chest where its core was located.

Boom!

As it was the golem was shattered and scattered. The two people landed on the floor and retrieved the divine beasts into sacred sub-space.

“good. There you go now!”

“I see.”

A black cave appeared in front of the two people.
