    Episode 462

    [He is here now.]

    Simon frozen like a stone statue glanced around.

    “Where is it?”

    Peer stretched out his arms without saying a word. A space that had been immersed in darkness beyond the ruins became bright.

    And Simon witnessed.

    A flowing lump of mud trapped in a large rectangular transparent tube.

    -Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.

    It was sobbing making strange crying noises.

    “this…….”

    [The demonic sword of the plague.]

    A lament-like sound flowed from Peer’s mouth.

    [An ancient undead who once served as the leader of the 7th Legion.]

    Simon approached with a nervous look and touched the coffin. It was just flowing without any sense of thought or will.

    “How did this happen?”

    Simon’s voice trembled.

    [When it was first discovered it looked even more terrible than this.]

    While Simon was on vacation Peer and the Ancient Undead went to attack the White Tomb Dungeon where Carl was expected to be hiding.

    No adventurers treasure hunters or archaeologists knew how to enter the White Tomb Dungeon. In the Kingdom of Dresden they were holding on to the possibility of a dungeon while groaning and it was practically a nuisance.

    But Peer knew how to get in.

    [I was convinced that the dungeon was a nest of swords.]

    One of Carl’s abilities was the power to turn a dungeon into his nest. He was able to enter the dungeon swallow the dungeon owner with his body and use that power to take control of the dungeon.

    And by absorbing the vast energy that made up the dungeon he constantly created his own extremely poisonous undead minions.

    Carl moved from dungeon to dungeon and expanded his power but was defeated by Richard and Peer who entered the dungeon at the time. Eventually he went through the ‘corps transformation’ process and became one of the captains of the 7th corps.

    And many years later when Richard’s Legion was disbanded Karl who longed for freedom found a dungeon to stay in and it was the ‘White Tomb Dungeon’.

    Peer who had experience holding a sword once before knew that there would be a sword in the White Tomb dungeon and also knew how to enter and exit the dungeon.

    [But it was no longer a dungeon.]

    From the eye sockets of Peer’s skull dark blue flames burned like a torch.

    [The place had turned into a testing ground for humans.]

    It was a terrible sight even for Peer an ancient undead to see it.

    People with red eyes were creating clones of Karl like they were running a factory and they were conducting various chemical experiments with the components of Karl’s body. In the center a tattered sword was being abused and locked in a coffin.

    The dungeon itself has become a testing ground and factory controlled by humans.

    The sword’s ability to prevent outsiders from entering has actually become poison. This unidentified group infiltrated the dungeon using a special method and used it as their secret base.

    ‘Wait a minute I think I’ve heard of a similar case.’

    Simon rested his chin and thought about this before speaking to Peer.

    “After listening to the story I have a question. The entrance to the ‘White Tomb Dungeon’ has been guarded by the Kingdom of Dresden. How were so many people able to enter the dungeon?”

    [I have no idea about the method of entry.]

    Peer crossed his arms.

    [Richard and I are the only ones who know how to enter Carl’s dungeon! It probably didn’t come in from the front and there must have been some other way around it.]

    “…….”

    [I will continue the story.]

    Anyway Peer and the Ancient Undead were convinced that Carl was alive and engaged in battle with the unidentified group.

    They poured out strange techniques and firepower they had never seen before but it was not enough to deal with four ancient undead.

    [Of course they were strong too.]

    Erzsebet said and poked Prince’s head.

    [Because it was enough to kill Prince once.]

    [don’t do it!]

    Prince got angry pulling Erzsebet’s hand away from his head.

    [As a result we won that battle.]

    Peer said.

    [I wanted to secure those humans and extract information from them but as their defeat deepened they exploded their brains and died!]

    Simon who was listening to the story shuddered.

    “suicide……?”

    [Yes the most important executives had already burned important documents and disappeared somewhere.]

    This time Archemus opened his mouth.

    [Still I tried to secure the available materials Master. I’m sorry I can only bring this.]

    Next to Archemus there were so many books and papers piled up that they formed a hill. Simon’s eyes widened.

    “What is it? You saved a lot!”

    Simon ran and looked through the books.

    Then I put down the book I opened first looked at another book and opened another book.

    ‘…I have no idea what the letters are.’

    All the books here were filled with curly letters that looked like slugs crawling around. No matter how much I look at other books I can’t understand it.

    [What is it?]

    Hersheba flew over and landed on Simon’s shoulder. Her eyes scanned the letters on the tip of her wand.

    [Oh this!]

    Simon quickly looked at her.

    “Hersheba! Do you see what I mean?”

    [No I don’t know.]

    Simon who was angry lowered his shoulders and then raised them with force. Hersheba’s body flew around and turned in the air.

    “I’m not in the mood to play around.”

    [The boy’s expression is serious! Do you have any guesses?]

    “yes.”

    Simon closed the book and sighed.

    “Aren’t there a lot of incidents like this these days? People who take over a dungeon by some means and do bad things within it.”

    An unknown dungeon where Silage was said to have been dispatched during the second semester of the first year.

    I heard that the entrance to the dungeon was blocked with a ‘ring of blood’ and various criminals were pushed into it.

    How did they make the dungeon their own? Simply sealing the dungeon owner would not have been enough.

    And the ‘Bingryong Carisa’ incident that recently occurred with Lete in the Holy Federation. Even though the dungeon owner Carisa wandered around outside the dungeon the dungeon was maintained in good condition.

    Lastly an unidentified group that took over the sword’s dungeon and experimented with the sword.

    “I think there’s definitely a connection between these three.”

    Hyeolcheongyo and Ssilage.

    The Minenashi family and Bingryong Karisa.

    And the experimental group that occupied Carl’s dungeon.

    It’s strange.

    “There may be a need to investigate more deeply. Please use all of the Legion’s resources to continue tracking and investigating.”

    Erzsebet made a ‘hmm’ sound and smiled.

    [It’s fun. It looks like you’re involved in some troublesome matter?]

    Prince jumped up.

    [They are the ones who made our colleague Carl like that! I can never forgive you!]

    Archemus said lowering his posture politely.

    [Could it be related to Magnus’ 5th Legion?]

    “Probably not.”

    Simon answered immediately.

    “Magnus would have taken possession of the ‘sword’ and there would have been no need to use it as an experiment like that.”

    At that time Hersheba who was deep in thought opened her mouth.

    [Kid! Can’t you think of it this way?]

    “say it. Hersheva.”

    [They captured that knife and experimented with it until it was tattered right? Every experiment has a purpose. What do you think its purpose is?]

    Simon crossed his arms and closed his eyes.

    “Couldn’t they have been trying to artificially manifest Carl’s abilities? Ancient undead are the most unknown beings in this world. By mass producing Karl’s clones made of extreme poison…”

    [It is not an alter ego.]

    Hersheba’s eyes lit up.

    [What if the ability to turn a dungeon into your own nest was the first purpose of research?]

    “……!”

    Simon who suddenly had goosebumps on his arms raised his head.

    “Yes that’s right! The research has already been a success! That’s why humans were able to occupy the inside of the dungeon!”

    [I see.]

    And the most questionable question was how strange experimenters were able to enter the dungeon controlled by Carl.

    Thinking about that Simon recalled the decisive battle with Silage that took place at the end of the first year.

    At that time Simon imprisoned Silaji in the dungeon of Hersheba but Silaji opened a portal as red as blood and invited the members of the Church of Blood into the dungeon.

    “Hyeolcheongyo can roam freely between dungeons and dungeons! It’s the principle of moving by opening a hole in space with Hyeolcheongyo’s special portal technology!”

    Prince tilted his head.

    [What then are those Hyeolcheongyo bastards still left? Is this also the work of the Blood Heaven Church?]

    “no. There must be someone else who ties the Blood Heavenly Church and Mizenashi together.”

    Simon then tried to interpret the materials that Achemus had brought with him but it was not easy.

    It was far outside the language system of the continent.

    As I looked at the data a little more the day was already getting brighter.

    Simon now had to go prepare for his first class.

    “I’ll be at school so if you find out anything please contact me anytime. ah! What are you going to do with the knife?”

    Simon said as he looked at the mushy undead blocked by the glass wall.

    [For now I decided to take my time and do a little more research!]

    Peer said.

    [The current sword looks more like a corpse than an Ancient Undead but the sword’s poison is useful in itself. Let’s try another way.]

    “yes.”

    [And take it boy!]

    Peer threw a new clone made from his own bones at Simon. It was shaped like a skull badge.

    [It is a means of contact!]

    Simon laughed as he played with Peer’s clone. It was small and cute.

    “Somehow as each semester passes the designs become cuter and cuter?”

    Hahaha! Peer laughed cheerfully.

    [If the design is clunky people will suspect it is an artifact! We learned students’ ‘tastes’!]

    Simon wore Peer’s alter ego in his school uniform.

    [I have something to give you too. master.]

    This time Archemus approached me and handed me something. There were five black feathers.

    “What is it?”

    [Like the peer gave me this is also like my alter ego. Please carry it with you. If you are in danger anywhere on the continent I will fly to the place where this feather is located.]

    “Oh thank you.”

    Even though he had Peer’s clone Simon put the feather in his inner pocket thinking that it might come in handy someday.

    [……Fear is a badge Archemus is a feather Prince is a ring.]

    Erzsebet walked back step by step.

    [I can’t lose! The girl also needs to leave a mark on the corps commander!]

    Simon who had an ominous premonition took a step back.

    “What else are you going to do?”

    [Hehe!]

    Erzsebet jumped in spreading her arms.

    [Kiss marks on the commander’s slim neck…!]

    Simon quickly stepped onto the pitch black and flew up and she fell down hugging the empty air.

    [It’s too much!!]

    “I’ll come back later!”

    That’s how Simon parted ways with the Ancient Undead. Herseva also felt stuffy in the subspace so she decided to leave it here for the time being.

    The moon was shining when I came in but when I came out the sunlight was already streaming in.

    * * *

    ‘It’s late!’

    By the time Simon entered the dormitory everyone was already running towards school.

    “Simon!”

    When Simon entered the dormitory room Toto jumped.

    “I thought you left first!”

    “I came back after doing some errands. Let’s hurry we don’t have time.”

    Simon packed his luggage put on his coat and ran down the stairs. They were almost the last of the second years to leave the dormitory.

    “I told you not to run indoors!!”

    Housekeeper Margaret was heard shouting. Simon and Toto startled quietly walked out the door.

    “Ugh I thought my heart was dropping!”

    Toto muttered holding his chest.

    ‘hmm.’

    And Simon was thinking of a quick way to get to campus.

    The distance between the Summoning Department and the campus is quite far. Even if you start running now you will be late.

    Maybe that’s why the students running ahead of them were also running with crude summoned animals.

    “Toto! Is there anything good?”

    Toto cried and shook his head.

    “What’s worth burning the two of us…”

    “Then leave it to me.”

    Simon took out the golem’s core from subspace and dropped it on the floor. Toto asked in surprise.

    “What are you trying to do with the golem?”

    “It won’t take long. Please wait a moment.”

    Simon stretched out his arms.

    <Summon Golem>

    Sigh!

    In response to Simon’s pitch blackness the surrounding sand mud rocks etc. began to stick to the golem’s core.

    ‘It’s been a while since I’ve had this technology.’

    The collected earth and sand are finely molded into a jet black color to form a wide streamlined body. The golem’s arms and legs are omitted but instead wheels are attached and an engine is built at the back to drive the wheels. Of course the power that turns the engine is pitch black.

    When viewed from above it looks like a large clay board with a streamlined body.

    Simon hopped on top of him.

    “Toto! Hold on tight!”

    “huh!”

    Toto followed suit and as soon as he grabbed Simon’s waist the golem board started moving with a pitch-black sound.

    “Wow!”

    Tremendous speed. The surrounding scenery is suddenly pushed back.

    Simon laughed brightly while holding his disheveled hair and Toto clung to Simon and said ‘Aaaah! Argh!’ I just made that sound over and over again.

    The golem board quickly overtook other students and each time surprised gazes were drawn.

    “I’ll run straight to campus like this!”

    “Ugh Simon! It’s too fast!”

    * * *

    The two arrived safely in front of the classroom.

    “Uuuhhh.”

    Toto with his hair a mess was walking unsteadily.

    Simon smiled calmly putting his hands in his pockets.

    “are you okay?”

    “Ugh I don’t think it’s okay. I ran so fast that I suddenly got hungry…”

    Gurgling.

    Gurgling.

    It seemed like the things I ate yesterday were starting to vibrate. Toto said awkwardly.

    “I’m going to stop by the bathroom so go first!”

    “okay.”

    Toto was seen running holding his stomach.

    5 minutes before class starts. Simon held on to the classroom door with a leisurely pace.

    And the moment you open the door.

    Hehehe…

    A cool breeze blew in. What he sees in front of him is a girl with black hair blowing in the wind.

    She was looking out the window with an expressionless face.

    ‘Lorraine?’

    For a moment I wondered if I had misunderstood half of it. I thought that when I opened the classroom D i c k and Maylin Camivarez would naturally welcome me.

    But no.

    Now it’s a new semester. New class. New studies and new lectures await.

    Now this is my class.

    On the first day Simon took steps in the awkward atmosphere of the classroom.

    “ah.”

    At that moment the black-haired girl saw Simon. The expressionless expression disappeared and a welcoming smile appeared.

    “Hello Simon.”

    “Hi Lorraine.”

    Simon also smiled.

    I thought it was my turn to speak this time.

    “Can I sit next to you?”
