Necromancer Academy’s Genius Summoner

Necromancer School’s Summoning Genius Episode 1025:

The Screaming Jungle.

It is the place where Peer first met Archemus, and the place where Archemus and Skullwings were active.

Archemus used his abilities to build a number of ‘nests’ here and mass-produce Skullwings, but when Archemus disappeared in the war with the 5th Legion and Simon was unable to pay attention for a while, most of the nests were destroyed.

It seemed like I was attacked by monsters living in the jungle.

Even though Archemus was destroyed, Simon could not lose the little air power of the 7th Legion called Skullwing. Currently, several intact nests have been recovered, and the Skullwing nest is being rebuilt by settling in a new location in the jungle.

“Interesting. “Are you saying there’s a colony of undead in a place like this?”

Simon, Jean, and Hector were making their way through the thick jungle bushes. Simon, who took the lead, smiled.

“Hold on a little longer! “We’re almost there.”

“I heard that the Screaming Jungle is a realm of nature and monsters that humans cannot reach.”

Jin gently touched a long tree branch and looked up at the sky.

“It’s darker and wetter than I thought. “It is a good environment for the undead to arise.”

“They say there are actually a lot of natural undead.”

The jungle of screams is a place where the food chain continues to circulate. While constantly fighting and being eaten by monsters, mana accumulates in naturally abandoned corpses and bones, causing them to rot and soon move as undead.

Perhaps Archemus has existed for quite a long time among the natural undead and has become an ancient undead with intelligence.

Rustle!

Soon after walking through the bushes, I saw a fairly large open area in the middle of the jungle. There, I saw tall trees, with undead flesh coiled around their trunks, reminiscent of a polluted beehive. Soon, at the top of the tree, a large lump of organs was moving around.

This is the ‘Nest’, a biological facility where Archemus produces its subordinate entities, namely Skullwings.

[Alaze. Stand by after receiving a call from the corps commander.]

At that time, a small lump of flesh covered in a robe bounced and approached Simon.

Hector, who sensed an unusual wave of pitch black, raised his claws, but Simon raised his arm to stop him.

“This is the ancient undead of my legion. “Although it is an alter ego.”

After saying that, Simon came forward and squatted down.

“Alaze, how did the experiment go?”

[Very successful.]

Alaze wiggled his body and made just enough noise for Simon to hear.

[Collection of biological samples from the Archemus nest remaining in the Screaming Jungle. research. remodeling. Augmentation. Reproduction successful. Successfully created a temporary nest from Peer’s ruins. Preparing to expand in the jungle of screams, the current headquarters. Producing sub-objects. Experiment successful.]

Clap!

Tdu-duk!

Just then, a piece of flesh exploded on top of the nest and said, ‘Keeee!’ Two black-furred bird-like things jumped out and screamed.

It was as big as an adult harpy, but it trembled like a newborn baby and tumbled out of the nest.

Coo thump! thud!

The impact of the fall caused my neck and wings to bend in opposite directions, but I clucked up! A neck that was broken and made a sound is quickly restored. After all, the undead were undead.

“It still has fur and looks like a living thing.”

Alaze explained in response to Jin’s words.

[It looks like that on the outside, but it is actually undead. Feathers decay quickly over time. Only the bones remain of the wings and body, and it transforms into the commonly known skull wing form.]

-Kkeik!

To Skullwing, his current body seemed heavy. A little more time will have to pass before the Skull Wing becomes what everyone knows.

“I didn’t come to learn about undead ecology or anything like that.”

Hector replied and looked at Jin.

“When does the Legion Studies class start?”

“You have an impatient personality, I like it.”

Jin announced the start of the Legion Studies class right here.

“Now, what’s more important than defining a territory is protecting it. If we continue to expand the Skullwing nest like this, it will be attacked by the jungle’s native monsters and disappear again. However, it is not possible to permanently station company forces such as Ancient Undead, who have a lot of work to do.”

“I see. “Then what should I do?”

There were a few nests in Peer’s ruins, but the space was limited, and the performance of the Skullwings created in the jungle of screams, the headquarters, was superior. From Simon’s point of view, unless he wanted to give up the Skullwing unit, he wanted to continue protecting the Jungle of Screams.

“Simple. We, the corps commanders, just need to instill ‘will’ in the corps’ objects. First, bring a Skullwing here.”

“yes!”

Simon brought in a proper Skullwing that had been created for some time.

“This is one of the basics learned in first year, but you know the differences between the three types of undead, right?”

“of course!”

Simon said quickly.

“Necromancers use black magic to summon undead. Naturally generated undead, regardless of the necromancer, are natural undead. And….”

“The Legion type is in the middle, and is an undead that has a core and is capable of self-reliance, but obeys orders from a higher entity.”

Hector intervened. Jin nodded.

“Accurate. However, in other words, the Legion type is neither a summon type nor a natural type, so if left unattended, it is not easy to survive in competition with creatures for a long time compared to the natural type undead.”

Living things constantly reproduce, eat, and evolve.

Even if they are temporarily pushed out of the competition for survival, individuals that are better at surviving the competition for survival spread out and adapt by defeating natural enemies. The undead lacked such fierceness and adaptability. Because it just exists.

Jin raised his fingertips.

“For that reason, the corps commander must directly implant will in the corps-type undead.”

The practice started right away.

Simon put down a large piece of nest debris on the dirt floor, showed it to Skullwing, and then said:

“Now, from now on, we will set your territory starting from here.”

Soon, Simon issued a strong ‘absolute command’ that could not be ignored.

[Protect your territory.]

-Kiiiii!

The Skullwing immediately took to the sky and began circling around. They emit cries to scare away small wild animals around them, or they leave scent all over the trees as if marking their territory with their bodies.

Simon clapped his hands and looked at the sight.

“It’s done, right?”

“I’m still slurred, but it’s not bad.”

Occasionally, flying monsters like birds with overlapping territories attacked, but Skull Wing attacked without backing down. In the end, the monster rolled up its tail and ran away, and Skullwing continued to chase.

“If it were an ordinary undead, it would have chased the living to the end out of anger towards its territory or anything else. but.”

Flap!

As soon as the monster left the territory, Skull Wing also spread its wings and returned to its original territory, resuming its ‘defensive activities’ to protect the territory, which was Simon’s order.

“Legion-type undead can be used in this way. Even without Ancient Undead, if you design your commands well, you can secure enough territory.”

“That’s amazing!”

The ‘practice’ of the Legionnaires’ class began immediately.

Simon took out all the surviving Skullwings to form a squadron, patrolled the jungle, and began to expand the territory of the corps.

I have no intention of taking over the entire Screaming Jungle right away, but it was important to make sure to stabilize even the area I currently have. The maintenance of this place is directly related to the reinforcement of the corps’ flight power.

[Proposal to expand the undead field.]

As Simon expanded the territory of the legion, Alase also came and helped explain.

[The undead field helps the undead’s regenerative ability. Block vegetation. You can prevent plants and animals coming in search of food in advance and make it a solid territory for the army.]

“Is that good? “I will do that.”

Hector, who was quietly watching what Simon was doing, told Jin that he wanted to try the practice himself.

“Yes, this is definitely a Legion Studies class. “There is nothing that cannot be done.”

Jin gave permission, and Hector moved.

He took up residence on a nearby cliff and established a colony of death wyverns, the undead inhabitants of the 6th Legion’s canyons.

He soon took out his Death Wyverns, and as he had learned, he drove out monsters in the surrounding jungle and secured the territory of the 6th Legion.

The power of the 7th and 6th corps began to grow at once, and the jungle monsters in the middle of their sphere of influence became increasingly cornered.

Eventually, the monsters whose living space was narrowed became angry and began to attack the undead indiscriminately.

In particular, there were monsters that were abnormally large in size or possessed strong physical abilities. These were objects that could not be caught with Skullwing.

Simon and Hector tried to step forward, but Jin stopped them.

The basic condition for classes in this area is that the corps commander does not step forward. The core of the class was to build a ‘territory’ with only legion-type undead.

“Now, this is where the concept of tactics comes in. Even if it is a weight class difference that is originally unattainable, it changes when tactics are used.”

Jin immediately informed the two junior corps commanders about the undead corps tactics.

From formation flight, air attack formation, defense formation, and guidance tactics. Simon had previously learned a little from Jin in northern Kalos, so he absorbed the corps tactics like a sponge, immediately formed a formation and charged at the large monster.

At first, they could not defeat the powerful mutant monster, but as they surrounded and attacked it, wounding their skin and contaminating the wound with undead blood or curses, the monster eventually turned its back and ran away.

Just like the humans who hunted huge elephants in groups in the past, the concept of tactics was added to overcome an opponent that could not be defeated.

The territory of the 7th Corps was further expanded.

At the same time, the territory of the 6th Corps, which started on the opposite side, also expanded, and the areas of the two corps came into contact.

A few days after taking the legionnology class, Hector sent the 6th Legion’s Death Wyverns to keep the 7th Legion’s Skullwings in check.

“Come back now!”

Simon brought back the Skullwings. Jin, who was watching the situation, raised the corner of his mouth.

“Did he induce a fight between legions during training? He is a belligerent guy.”

“Uhm, what should I do?”

“In fact, this is also a necessary process.”

This is a turf war between legions. This was a frequent occurrence in the past when there were many corps commanders, and this was a war between corps, in which other forces of the Dark Alliance could not intervene.

While Simon held back the Skullwings, the 6th Legion expanded their territory a little further.

Simon, who saw that, also felt his competitive spirit burning. My whole body became itchy.

“Since they attacked first, I can counterattack too, right?”

“Of course.”

Jin smiled brightly and nodded.

“I was planning to kill Hector in your area after class anyway, but wouldn’t that be fun? In the end, territory is acquired through force.”

The professor who was supposed to stop me laid the board down.

Although he thought the lesson was quite realistic, Simon felt his blood boiling. He came forward, stretching his arms, and opened his mouth.

[Everyone scrambles.]

Cheaaaaaaaa!

All Skullwing squadrons rose from the main base’s nest and covered the sky with black. In an instant, they came down from high altitude and attacked the Death Wyverns.

Although the battle was equal at first, the 6th Corps could not defeat Simon’s 7th Corps, which had the know-how of the past two years.

“good! “The 3rd unit diverts to the left!”

Simon clenched his fists.

“Let’s go to the Wyvern’s base like this and get Hector’s surrender!”

-Kiiiiii!

Simon switched to the offensive and pushed forward with great momentum.

Whether in the past when there were many corps commanders or in the present where only six remain, there is one thing that ultimately does not change.

It was true that one corps stationed in one area was enough.

* * *

Skullwing of the 7th Legion, Death Wyvern of the 6th Legion.

And in the midst of a fierce battle between the monsters of the screaming jungle.

[….]

An unidentified undead was standing there, watching with his head cocked.

[…Corporation Commander.]

It opened its mouth.

[The forces of the Legion Commander of Betrayal have been found.]
